Chapter 4038
The scene before them had rendered Master Magaera and the tens of thousands of soldiers speechless as they felt chills down their spines.
The Sealed Fiend Mountain was covered in a thick blood-red fog.
Outside the fog, soldiers were plastered everywhere. Grunt was planning for their next attack with the rest of the surviving soldiers a short distance away.
At first, Grunt and Darryl had led 20,000 soldiers to observe the Sealed Fiend Mountain. Upon arrival, they found Archfiend Antigonus casting the blood formation. Earlier, when Darryl had found a way to break through the blood formation, Grunt betrayed him during the most critical time.
After Grunt betrayed Darryl, he returned to report to the Nine Heaven Emperor. Under the order of the Nine Heaven Emperor, he went back to the Sealed Fiend Mountain to observe its situation.
The Nine Heavens Emperor instructed Grunt not to do anything reckless before reporting the sightings.
However, Grunt could not wait any further as he desperately wanted to contribute to his name, when he got back to the Sealed Fiend Mountain, he immediately formed a team of 20,000 soldiers to charge toward the Gate of Life, attempting to breakthrough the blood formation.
Even though Grunt hated Darryl's guts, he acknowledged that Darryl's skills and knowledge in formations were out of the world. If he said the Gate of Life was the breaking point of the blood formation, then it must be it.
However, the thick fog surrounding the blood formation was incredibly poisonous, whoever approached it would lose their sanity and start killing each other.
After a few attempts, he was left with only a few thousand soldiers.
"Honorable Master."
Grunt was delighted to see Master Magaera with tens of thousands of soldiers and welcomed him with open arms.
Master Magaera scanned through his surroundings to see the amount of injured and dead soldiers. His face darkened. "Grunt, what happened here?"
He could see the number of lifeless soldiers plastered around the blood fog. The few thousands of surviving soldiers behind Grunt were heavily injured as well.
Grunt was ashamed. "Honorable Master, I've been trying to break through the blood formation, so—"
Master Magaera cut him short. "Breaking the formation? Didn't I ask you not to do anything reckless? Why didn't you listen?"
"Well-"
Cold sweat rained down on Grunt as he felt the rage seeping through Master Magaera. "Before Prince Consort went in, he realized that the Gate of Life is the only breaking point for the blood formation."
He spoke as he pointed toward the Gate of Life.
Grunt realized that he had made a grave mistake. He quickly shoved all the responsibility onto Darryl since he was trapped inside the blood formation and had little chance to survive.
There would be no proof if the person were too dead to say anything.
Upon hearing that, Master Magaera frowned as he waved dismissively. "Fine, just follow my instructions from now on. Understood?" Master Magaera said as he glared at the Gate of Life.
'That's how you break the formation? It sure doesn't seem like it. Darryl must be spewing nonsense, or else he would not end up trapped inside,' he thought.
Master Magaera was deep in contemplation when suddenly, an air of terrorizing aura swept through him. A shadow dashed out from the bloody fog and ascended above the blood formation.
It was Archfiend Antigonus!
