Huh? Are they all real?...

Hehe, how wonderful!

While completing a third in less than two days is already quite fast, how could the remaining humans possibly last another two days?

Just as the demons had predicted, even though the frontline had risked their lives to maintain the defenses, a considerable number of demons still managed to cross the massive defensive line.

For example, at this moment, about seven or eight demons bypassed the edge of the fortress that was still holding out.

Here, they could even see the demon lords, towering like mountains.

They can fly, while there are many other creatures on the ground that cannot fly and can only slowly cross those treacherous mountains.

Not only is it a natural defensive line, but there are also many humans lying in ambush inside.

There were originally more than a dozen of them, but several were shot down by humans from who-knows-where when they were flying over the mountains.

They had no interest in the life or death of their companions, and would never risk their lives for so-called revenge.

All they want is to find more normal, non-resisting humans and then enjoy the pleasure of tormenting them.

So they simply flew higher and faster, crossing the mountains to get here.

And just as they arrived, they saw a group of humans carrying things and heading forward from afar.

Those were clearly not the madmen from the fortress, because they weren't wearing any armor.

This excited the demons, who rushed over.

Their strange cries echoed across the entire sky.

However, the strange cry soon turned into a real scream. It had been meant to frighten humans before, but now it was genuinely startled.

Because they saw more humans behind those humans, and several huge lines that stretched almost across their entire field of vision.

Even as they paused, the lines continued to advance at a speed visible to the naked eye.

They knew what it was almost at first glance.

That was a massive ritual to summon Constantine!

How could it be so fast?!

Haven't a lot of demons already come in?

Didn't they interfere with these humans?

Moreover, even without demonic interference, they shouldn't have been able to move so quickly!

The sheer absurdity and incomprehension instantly filled the demons' minds.

But even though they can't understand it, they know very well that they have to do something.

They are a new generation of demons, and they don't know just how disgusting Constantine is to demons.

But that doesn't stop them from knowing how troublesome such a grand ceremony would be once completed.

So they charged straight at the humans carrying things without hesitation.

These humans are neither soldiers nor warriors.

They had encountered many such humans before. As soon as they charged in, the other party would instantly fall into chaos and be slaughtered and toyed with at their mercy.

Many humans would even reach out to their companions, begging that offering up their companions would save their lives.

In the days that the Old World and the Abyss overlapped, such humans were the norm they encountered.

The madmen in the fortress were actually the first anomalies they had ever encountered.

And now, they think it will be the same here!

So they charged forward with complete confidence and boldness.

And then the humans below finally saw the approaching demons.

They did indeed scatter.

This made the demons even more ecstatic, causing them to let out strange howls and rush forward at an even faster pace.

But as they walked along, they realized something was wrong.

These humans did indeed disperse, but they didn't flee.

Instead, they scattered and ran towards the city fortress!?

Demons are chaotic creatures that are inherently evil, but they are evil, not stupid. In fact, as abyssal creatures that feed on negative emotions, they are almost all intelligent!

Therefore, they instantly knew what these humans were thinking:

They knew they couldn't defeat them, so they used this method to minimize casualties so that the supplies could be delivered into the fortress!

The people here are a bunch of lunatics!

Realizing this, the demons, their mouths twitching, decided to teach these humans who could only run away a lesson.

They want to let the other side know that this method is useless against them, who can fly.

The first demon easily captured a human carrying food and weapons.

Although the opponent was also running towards the fortress and trying to take out a weapon to fight it, it was so frightened that it couldn't even draw its short sword. It could only be stomped to death from behind.

The demon, carrying the corpse into the sky, intended to throw it onto its next target.

But it was only halfway through the air that it noticed a crossbow bolt shot past it.

Looking down, I saw that it was shot at by a human who was running away.

This greatly angered it, and it tried to attack it even though it didn't know how to use a crossbow!

But just as it was about to fly down, it saw one of its companions already on its back, being repeatedly stabbed in the body with a sword.

Even though his companion, who had already taken to the sky, had plunged his claws into the other's stomach, the human showed no sign of stopping. Instead, he continued to stab even more frantically.

Soon, the demon watched as its companion fell from the sky, turning into a pile of minced meat along with the human.

This discovery instantly brought the demons to a halt.

These humans are also capable of risking their lives, and the probability is not low.

It is impossible to make an unregulated and hopeless abyss demon risk its life.

They feed on negative emotions and are themselves a collection of all negativity.

Selfishness and self-interest are obviously the first things that come to mind!

All the demons stood still.

They hesitated whether to continue. They knew they couldn't let the other go, but they also knew they might lose their lives because of it.

Then, they smelled a faint scent of despair and wailing in the air.

This made them look behind them.

After a brief moment of listening intently, they heard cries of pain from afar and the excited revelry of their companions.

That was a sound that made their bones go numb.

Behind you, humans are being brutally murdered by their own kind.

Realizing this, they couldn't help but look down at their feet. The humans had already run far away, and further away, some flightless demons were trying to attack and disrupt the ritual, but those humans not only didn't run away, they were even more reckless.

After pacing back and forth between below and in the distance for a moment, the demons all tacitly flew off into the distance.

Behind them, the newly arrived demons were repeating the same process.

They all flew toward that 'heaven' that could only be felt by demons from afar in the abyss.

Along the way, they witnessed a massive, almost perfect ceremony, as well as many human corpses, whose fates were unclear—whether from exhaustion or being killed by their companions.

They wanted to go down and destroy it, but they immediately discovered that although this super-large-scale ritual could not be activated yet, the rituals here, which were already quite complete, would actively repel and burn them.

Even if they risk their lives to destroy it, it will be quickly repaired by humans who appear out of nowhere.

In addition, the allure of that sweetness is becoming increasingly apparent.

So the demons continued flying deeper into the area without hesitation.

They thought that as long as they destroyed it deep inside, it would have the same effect.

Moreover, the front line should be breached very soon.

A truly wicked idea.

Then, the demons saw the paradise they had been searching for—the refugee camps surrounding the Church of Remembrance!

The number of humans here is beyond the demons' ability to estimate.

All they knew was that the humans here were normal.

They will run, they will be afraid, they will beg for mercy, they will betray their companions—everything they saw before, the people here will do.

The only thing they can't do is fight them like those madmen on the front lines!

Moreover, this is clearly the core of the ritual, and they can even see the rituals that have gathered from all directions and have been completely destroyed and left unrepaired!

The reason why the people in front are all abnormal is because normal people would never appear on the front lines!

After a moment of stunned silence, the demons that flew in from all directions cheered and joined the revelry.

Chapter 268 This is the Way of Humanity! (3k)

The refugee camp surrounding the memorial church is now engulfed in flames.

The outer perimeter of the defensive line was engulfed in flames.

The ceremony behind the defensive line is nearing completion.

But the defense line is about to be completely breached.

The demon lords used all their power without reservation.

Demons from all over the Old World have gathered here.

It's truly a miracle that a group of survivors, who didn't have many soldiers or superhumans to begin with, has managed to hold on until now.

The demon lord, whose horns had been broken off by the saints, was now treading on the commander with a playful expression.

“Mortal, you have lost. Your city, your army, and your people will also lose completely with you.”

The commander, trampled under the feet of the Demon Lord, did not answer it; he merely spat out a mouthful of saliva, almost entirely blood, at the other man with disdain.

This made the Demon Lord shake his head with amusement.

However, it also did not step on the chest it wanted to crush.

Instead, he grabbed the other person and lifted them up.

"Fine, then let me show you how I can utterly destroy your people and your city!"

The centurion was truly enraged this time. He struggled to raise his hand to pry open the hand that was holding his head, but halfway up, he was filled with grief and indignation to discover that his only remaining hand had also been broken.

He couldn't even raise his hand.

"You still want to resist? Don't be ridiculous."

The Demon Lord found it even more amusing and brought him before him, uttering a mocking laugh.

"Your city, everything you have is doomed to destruction. Your gods and even your world have long since abandoned you!"

The Demon Lord's words plunged the commander into sorrow.

He couldn't refute that.

The Old World has been abandoned.

So, even if we've gone this far, does it still have to end?

In endless sorrow and helplessness, the commander forced himself to turn his gaze toward the sky.

He desperately wanted to question the high and mighty gods and kings why they had abandoned them.

Although the gray snow that brought death and curses stopped at some unknown time, the sky over the Old World remained shrouded in gloom.

The abyss is a dark and gloomy hell.

Therefore, his questions and his gaze will never reach the eyes of the gods.

Or perhaps the high and mighty gods wouldn't care about the questions posed by a mere mortal.
