Chapter 1180 - 475: Stage 6_2
Sure, I will translate the text as requested:
Watching the situation unfold, the ghost knights and those half-elemental creatures emerging from the earth immediately rushed forward.
The Puppet Girls, Chadite and Juanlu, followed along, charging ahead.
In the distant darkness.
A team of demon hunters watched from afar where the moonlight illuminated, observing the fierce battle taking place.
"Shouldn’t we go over to help?" asked a knight clad in Holy Mother Church armor, emblazoned with a very distinct wheat pattern.
Upon hearing his words, the demon hunter captain glanced at him and replied, "Aren’t we already helping?"
"The Demon Hunting Fortress is currently under heavy attack, even the demon Swallowing Mouth itself is struggling to reach the front lines and launch an attack on the fortress."
"Why is Swallowing Mouth so relentless about Alka?" the knight next to him couldn’t help but ask.
After all, Alka was essentially one of the church’s own.
And this knight’s main base isn’t at the Demon Hunting Fortress, to be honest, he hadn’t really had any interaction with the notorious Swallowing Mouth.
"It’s a petty demon, to it, only by killing Alka and taking Alka’s head can it cleanse itself of shame."
The demon hunter captain said.
The knight nodded, indeed.
Alka is merely advancing to the Sixth Stage, yet Swallowing Mouth has gone to great lengths, using almost every method it could conceive of, trying to affect Alka.
Now, its actions have surpassed what it could accomplish in the World Scar.
Either it found allies seeking help or there are other entities also needing Alka’s life.
This demon knows full well that in this tightly guarded area, killing Alka is utterly impossible.
Yet it continues to dispatch these demons using all kinds of means to create disturbances because even the slightest issue in Alka’s ascension is precisely what it hopes for.
With the mindset of a normal human, it’s indeed difficult to understand Swallowing Mouth’s hatred towards Alka.
But Swallowing Mouth was never human; it’s chaotic, even among demons, it’s considered an oddity.
They continued observing the surroundings, while ensuring what they brought remained stable in this space.
When Swallowing Mouth activates its abilities, it merely sends over demons with limited strength to be cannon fodder.
At this moment, a demon hunter from the squad couldn’t help but say, "I never imagined the process of advancing to the Sixth Stage would be so... complex and tense."
Unable to think of appropriate adjectives, he settled on complex and tense.
Upon hearing this, not just him but even his usually silent companions couldn’t help but nod silently.
This is, after all, the World Scar.
Tier Six powerful beings are plentiful here; even the captain leading them is Tier Six.
And the knight beside him, although not Tier Six, is an outstanding figure among the Fifth Stage.
But who would’ve thought that a mere Fifth Stage advancing to Sixth Stage would entail such grand proceedings?
"Do you also wish for such treatment when advancing to the Sixth Stage yourself?" a companion next to him teased.
The speaker shook his head, "No, I wouldn’t wish for that—it’s not a good thing."
It really isn’t a good thing.
"It’s just unexpected how formidable Alka still hasn’t reached the Sixth Stage."
Speaking of which, they couldn’t help but recall the early days during the defensive battle watching Alka and the others slaughtering those Tier Six demons with such ease, like chickens and dogs on the walls.
Back then, everyone assumed Alka and the others were beings of the Sixth Stage.
It was only upon receiving this mission that they were abruptly awakened to the fact Alka was merely at the Fifth Stage, not even reaching Fifth Stage Perfection.
"It’s truly... strong."
Hearing the praise from these demon hunters, the knight next to them couldn’t help but smile.
After all, Alka was a very authentic member of the Holy Mother Church, a Saint.
Having such a powerful figure in the church certainly made a Church Knight like him feel a sense of shared glory.
"How else could it survive under Swallowing Mouth’s fixation until now and still be so at ease?" their captain couldn’t help but say.
To them, Alka facing Swallowing Mouth’s targeting could genuinely be described as ease.
After a few words, they gradually closed their mouths, focusing their entire attention on the battlefield ahead.
In the battlefield, the demons had almost no chance to fight back and were being attacked by the forces protecting Alka.
Outside the range of the pristine moonlight, one could see the dark aura incessantly attempting to surge onto the land, while dark mist persistently tried to emerge.
Even the sky constantly struck with blood-red, ash-gray lightning, trying to hit Alka.
It seemed everything here wished for Alka’s immediate death.
The ghost cavalry charged on the hills and meadows, clearing out the weak yet numerous demons.
The absorption rate of Magic Power expanded once again.
Alka focused entirely on enhancing.
As the concentration of Magic Power increased further, the three sets of Spirals were almost completely merging together, forming a new set of Spiral.
