Chapter 756: Chapter 621 Devils Deserve to Die_2

But he didn’t need to hold on for too long because Withered Rose had already activated her Legendary Grace—Gaze of Death.

This was Withered Rose’s signature move when she was the Undead Queen. Once locked onto by her perception, no living creature could resist, only to be transformed into an undead at varying speeds.

Now, Withered Rose, with the help of Amberser’s power, extended her perception across the entire Blood River Battlefield.

Her eyes turned into bloody crescents, and tears tinged with the scent of sulfur slowly slid down.

It was her first time using her Legendary Grace against so many targets, and all of them were formidable demons rather than fragile humans.

This caused Withered Rose to experience excruciating pain in her eyes, and her body felt as though it was being drained.

But rather than shrinking back, she let out a laugh.

The pain felt so refreshing; she hadn’t experienced it for a long time. Everything in the Connected Dream Realm after all was somewhat distorted, nothing compared to experiencing it with her own body.

A grey line appeared on the battlefield. Even though it was intersected by countless spaces as if it was broken into numerous segments, wherever the grey line reached, those fierce and raging demons either petrified on the spot or wailed in agony as they writhed on the ground.

Although the grey line seemed to advance slowly, it covered tens of thousands of demons every second.

These demons were transformed into undead within a very short period of time, becoming Withered Rose’s puppets.

Once transformed, these undead demons instinctively pounced on the living beings nearby. The undead abhor all living creatures, including demons.

Countless demons began slaughtering each other; they used claws, teeth, and magic to massacre each other, and a large number of demons began to die.

Withered Rose clenched Amberser’s hand tightly. Using her power so wildly, she felt incredibly tired and pained, but this sensation made her crave more.

Such pain, such vivid life, she had forgotten it for far too long.

Just as Withered Rose was about to exhaust herself, a huge influx of magic power surged into her body, and it wasn’t just magic power—a mysterious and indescribable power was rapidly repairing her physical injuries and even enhancing her Legendary Ability.

This was the Power of Laws from the first layer of hell.

Amberser could now be considered a Deity, and deities can lend their power, just as Talos had forcefully bestowed divinity upon the Lich Vishalon, lending his divine power.

Amberser was doing the same now; he lent his power to Withered Rose, allowing her to briefly step into the realm of a deity in a short time.

This was also thanks to Withered Rose’s special body, which was crafted from the corpse of another deity, enabling it to withstand such crude sharing of power; otherwise, Amberser’s method would have directly crushed her body.

Anyway, Withered Rose had managed to hold on, and she felt immensely powerful.

The blood moons in her eyes spun faster, and the grey line on the battlefield swept faster, quickly scanning the fallen war zone.

By the time Withered Rose closed her eyes, more than a million demons had died under her power.

Either turned into undead or killed by their transformed kin.

Bayer also sensed the change in the battlefield and stared in shock at the spectacle before him.

Over a million demons, just like that, dealt with?

Although it wasn’t truly a moment of desperation yet, Bayer had already begun considering detonating parts of the war zone, using this brutal method to curb the demons’ assault.

But this tactic could only be used once; a detonated space would become extremely unstable. If the demons took time to open it again, it would truly lose restrictions and allow free entry and exit.

Once such a situation arose, the Blood River Battlefield would become even more chaotic, and perhaps they would have to detonate the entire Blood River Fortress the second time it was invaded.

The Blood River Fortress was the last resort. Blowing up this fortress could instantly destroy everything on the battlefield, turning the entire battlefield into a cursed land uninhabitable by devils and demons alike.

This was the final card to play, a mutual destruction move.

Yet this cursed effect could only last a few years, and such time wasn’t enough to rebuild another Blood River Fortress. Without this crucial bridgehead, hell would be unable to stop the demon invasion.

In other words, blowing up the Blood River Fortress was akin to surrendering, akin to failure.

Yet Amberser somehow managed without resorting to this tactic, whatever he did, he just dealt with those million demons.

Now the demons had turned into undead, and the battle would end soon; they would have enough time to repair the damaged war zones.

If this method could be used a second time, the demon invasion would pose no threat at all.

As Bayer was preparing to inquire with Amberser, he found that the Grand Duke had already returned to his palace and explicitly stated that no one was allowed to disturb him.

Inside the grand library, Withered Rose kept her eyes tightly closed, tears like molten lava continuously flowing from the corners of her eyes.

While healing her vigorously, Amberser said with a pained heart, "Rose, you didn’t need to turn so many demons into undead. Half would have been enough; leave the rest to those devils to handle, their deaths are inconsequential."

Laughing, Withered Rose said, "It’s been a long time since I’ve felt pain. I couldn’t help myself."

"Have you... developed some peculiar taste?"

Amberser wasn’t mistaken. After transforming into a devil, one tends to change a bit, influenced by the Hell Law. A devil’s desires are amplified. For Withered Rose, it meant moving from one extreme to another, easily leading to mental issues.
