Chapter 1280: The Witch’s Explosion

The witch was forced back into the team, and Lin Nuo regained his freedom.

At this moment, he could have fled, completely evading the Handa Alliance, and they wouldn’t be able to catch up to him.

But he didn’t; he didn’t even withdraw to reunite with Su Kexin and the others.

After all, he didn’t want the witch to be destroyed, nor the destruction of Ling Meng’s other persona.

But what could he do now?

He was uncertain. In the Sacred Realm, merely ensuring his own safety was already impressive.

Yet, he still followed, covertly tracking the large squad of the Handa Alliance from the Demon Realm.

However, the Handa Alliance from the Demon Realm had retreated, completely shifting their strategy, with no intent to attack.

On the other hand, the Handa Alliance from the Sacred Realm was launching increasingly fierce assaults, pushing the Demon Realm Alliance back to the Demon Realm, reclaiming lost territories step by step.

Moreover, the Alliance Leader Han Zhe was personally leading the charge, and with the Sacred Knights’ hatred for demons, their morale was terrifyingly high.

The situation took a dramatic turn; it seemed the Demon Realm Alliance was fated to fail.

Within the Demon Realm Alliance, the witch was summoned back and once again met with the alliance leader, Aike.

The witch stood before Aike, expressionless, like a criminal waiting for judgment.

“My lord, the accompanying Mage Han Lu has died in battle, and she has started to lose control. It took us a lot of effort to summon her back. My lord, should we continue to order her, or…?”

“We’ve confirmed that Han Zhe is personally leading his troops; let her go attack him.”

“But there’s a high probability she will die…”

“It doesn’t matter; it’s her honor. She’s already trying to break free from our control, so before she succeeds completely, we should squeeze out her last bit of value. Depart! You demon masters unite to control her and make her ambush Han Zhe.”

Aike said calmly. Since he had already set out, there was no intention to retreat back to the Demon Realm. If Han Zhe was personally leading the expedition, then let this witch have a go.

Lin Nuo’s whereabouts were unknown; whether he was captured by the Sacred Realm or completely destroyed, he had no way of knowing.

Han Lu was in charge of a large batch of transformed demons. Who would have guessed he would perish so quickly? Now a large number of transformed demons had gone out of control and were about to rampage. Aike had no choice but to send them to the Sacred Realm; kill as many as possible.

Of course, this was merely a stall tactic.

He had personally entered the Sacred Realm and needed time to slowly absorb the resources they had plundered.

The Sacred Realm was close to the Demon Realm, dotted with various Sacred Mountains. After some had been polluted, Aike had begun to absorb the spiritual energy within, significantly boosting his power afterward.

But it wasn’t enough; he needed to expand his body fully, powerful enough to shatter thousands of Sacred Knights, even if Han Zhe came to attack personally.

In addition to him absorbing spiritual energy, there was also the demon master Buff, whose array points were at the Sacred Mountains. Their movements would enrage many Sacred Beasts, which would then attack them, falling into their trap to become their slave demon beasts.

They planned to use several Sacred Mountains to consolidate the combat strength of the Sacred Realm under their control.

Progress was going smoothly, but Han Zhe was about to strike. If he breached a Sacred Mountain, it could spell disaster.

So, all available demons were to be used to stall and consume their enemies. In short, they couldn’t let them come close.

……

……

Lin Nuo lurked near the Demon Realm Handa Alliance camp, hesitating to take action.

He was unsure of the witch’s condition.

However, executing the witch generally required a ritual, which meant needing a proper venue.

But Lin Nuo hadn’t seen them set up an appropriate site.

Thus, he wandered nearby. His recovery was slow, and he couldn’t regain his original state for the time being. If he rushed in, he would likely get caught.

After a long wait with no sight of the witch emerging, just as he contemplated going deeper, he discovered she had been teleported away.

It was a teleportation array controlled by numerous demon masters, destination unknown.

He caught a final glimpse of them sending her away.

Before the teleportation array finished, a brief window of opportunity remained, and this was his chance.

Yes, he exerted all his strength, sprinting forward, and dashed into the teleportation array, catching the last ride.

This shocked the demon masters, “Where did that kid Lin Nuo pop out from? Weren’t we done with him?”

And looking at his eyes and expression, it was as if he had completely shed the feeling of being bound and had regained his freedom.

“Stop! A human snuck in!”

“Isn’t that just another puppet? How did he get in?”

“It’s too late; the teleportation array can’t hold him; there’s no way to bring him back!”

By the time they realized Lin Nuo had slipped past, it was already too late. He had caught the last train, and they couldn’t hold him back; the teleportation array vanished along with the spiritual light.

……

……

Lin Nuo didn’t think about anything; he simply sneaked in, and after the spiritual light flickered, he found himself among the Handa Alliance troops, having arrived at another base.

And that base was positioned to ambush the Sacred Realm alliance leader Han Zhe. Most of them were the transformed demons, planning for a surprise attack on Han Zhe.

However, they were startled to find Lin Nuo had materialized, causing chaos at the scene. The witch instantly sensed Lin Nuo’s arrival and made her first move to capture him.

But Lin Nuo didn’t engage with her; he simply led her away, step by step drawing her further from the troops.

The demon masters lost control; the witch was completely unruly, fixated on Lin Nuo, and directly departed, causing outright disorder.

“What do we do? This witch has gone completely berserk!”

“Then we have to destroy her entirely; Mage Han Lu left a contingency plan.”

“Yes, we can only completely obliterate her.”

Reaching a consensus among the demon masters, with the witch entirely beyond restraint, they decided to obliterate her.

The witch had been infused with Demon Power; as they recited their incantations, her Demon Soul Power surged throughout her body, leading her to clutch her head in extreme pain.

Lin Nuo sensed something was wrong with her and halted, turning back to check on the witch’s condition.

“Quick, quick, go…! I… I’m about to explode…!”

At that moment, Ling Meng’s voice echoed in Lin Nuo’s ear again, her final warning; she sensed her impending doom and couldn’t let Lin Nuo come any closer.

Lin Nuo felt her body on the verge of explosion; he didn’t retreat but took a deep breath.

A cold aura enveloped the witch, freezing her in place.
