Dual Sword God - Chapter 84: The Mystical Fortress of Battlefield?!

Ancient Dragon Battlefield, Interior Regions, within the Foggy Zone.

The air was hazy, as a dense fog shrouded the land for as far as the eye could see. It was a pale mist, one that carried a chilling coldness within, seeping through the thickest of cloaks and most versatile of armors.

As dawn's light peered through the thick mist of this environment one would see outlines of structures, that were broken or missing sections. A few larger structures even had strange deformations looking as if they had been grabbed and used as weapons.

A variety of corpses rested on the grounds of these forsaken lands each belonging to both humanity and fiendkind. However, if one looked carefully at these corpses, they would realize that a few of them had recently been added to this field within the mist.

Their blood was mostly faded and frozen below layers of ice and dirt, as their bodies were ruptured and pierced with many different wounds of certain standards. A few of them even had broken weapons plunged deeply into the flesh, with the remaining edges sticking out of their bodies gleaming in a sharp light.

A stifling silence pervaded over this region, as only the sound of a brisk wind could be heard gently blowing across the desolated battlefield. Soon though, there came a change...

It started out low, progressing bit by bit with its volume rising at a constant pace.

Step-step-step-step!

A combination of footsteps could now be heard throughout the area, giving this pale atmosphere a tinge of life. The steps echoes continued to grow louder as their source drew closer and closer with each passing second. It could be inferred that the speed at which these individuals were moving was not slow but similar to an army at full charge.

Soon, their battle cries could be heard along with the noise of their running footsteps.

"Charge!"

"Kill the humans and sever their heads! We must claim victory for our Zone Commander!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Instantly, a series of silhouettes could be seen quickly traversing through these foggy lands. They bore different sizes ranging from heights of taller than normal humans and giant-like beings.

Soon, the forms of these individuals charging towards the misty unknown became clearer, as they numbered in the thousands. The dirt from the desolate field formed dust clouds that added further confusion and obscurity to their forms hidden away by these dense mists.

They were creatures with blue skin and muscular bodies with broadheads that had two cow-like horns at both sides of their foreheads; each wore a similar kind of armor being made to cover only their lower bodies leaving their upper parts bear. Their 'legging's' style armors were engraved with tree swirly markings like this '~' each of which was positioned horizontally in a parallel manner.

While charging towards the now vaguely recognizable silhouettes of their enemies, their eyes gleamed in a fiendish light indicating the very essence of their true nature.

Heiferfiends, a low-class fiend race said to possible an incredibly brutal nature as they tend to fight wildly without any regard to friend or foe. Standing proudly behind this large group was a ten-meter tall Heiferfiend, garbed in similar but unique looking armor with large gold chains hanging around its neck and strange golden markings on its upper body.

A Variant Heiferfiend with a battle power no weaker than a middle-class fiend. It raised a dual bladed halbert that was even larger than itself, with fresh blood dripping from both its edges as yelled, "Leave none alive!" Its thick hair swaying wildly behind its back with the rise of the chilly winds.

Four similarly large Hieferfiends stood silently by both of its sides, calmly observing the charging troop of fiends in the foggy battlefield.

As the Hieferfiend Army was closing in on those distant silhouettes, they also started to become visible. A large group of humans could now be seen rushing towards the Heiferfiend Army from the opposing side, with each of their steps drowned out by the massive Hieferfiend army charge.

However, their roars were just as loud as the opposing group of fiends.

"The men of the Imperial Zang Clan fears no danger! Charge forwards and kill these fiends!" A familiar sounding voice said.

"Kill--!" The ground of humans yelled as they charged forwards in unison, each garbed in different styles of robes representing two different kinds of influences.

Looking beyond the thick mist, one would see the figure of a man who wore decorated robes with an emblem of a golden dragon hung around his neck standing beside another individual. He was a silent man whose entire body was mostly covered with various types of cloths, his bald head vaguely visible due to its sheen, and eyes due to their deep luster.

Xun Yanshan stood calmly on the top of a broken structure that towered over the land, his robes flapping with the movement of the wind. After he gave his command to the practitioners from all parties, he looked towards the densely clothed man and spoke in a weary tone, "Sigh, we've been battling these waves for two days now, and our already small troops are dwindling. If we don't find a way to break through this wave of fiends and kill their commander, forget about finding our missing brats we will not even be able to make it the Central Regions."

Nei Sinian squinted his eyes and spoke as he carefully observed the silhouette of the Variant Hieferfiend behind the approaching fiend army, "There is no sense in worrying over the unknown for both Dong child, and your empires geniuses should be capable of handling themselves. What you should be concerned about is that large guy over there, for even if we do clear this wave, we will be in big trouble battling against him."

As Xun Yanshand heard this, his expression grew more severe as he looked towards the figure with a pensive gaze. Soon though, he cleared his thoughts and spoke to Nei Sinian once again, "You're right, it won't be easy getting a handle on that Variant Heiferfiend. It looks as if it will be even more trouble compared to that Fei Tan we fought against."

"Well, that is to be expected for its battle power should be similar to that of an elite middle-class fiendkin," Nei Sinian replied as he his eyes showed a hint of fear.

Fiendkind, they are a dark race said to come from 'outskirts' of the endless void. They are said to have been born as combatants without the need to cultivate, as such upon being born they blessed with powers of average practitioners some being stronger than most. As they age and grow to adulthood, their powers grow accordingly. The older the fiend, the more powerful they are likely to be, as even their spans are several folds that of humanity.

These beings are powerful, but not all of them are born equal, their talents and potentials are gauged by their races which are divided into low, middle, high, and finally top-class fiends. Low-class fiends are generally as powerful as ordinary practitioners, while the others are as follows:

Middle-class fiends are born with First Layer Battle Prestige, with the strongest among them capable of achieving Pseudo-Second Layer Battle Prestige. High-class fiends are born with Second Layer Battle Prestige, with the strongest among them capable of attaining Pseudo-Third Layer Battle Prestige.

Finally, top-class fiends are born with Third Layer Battle Prestige, with the strongest among them capable of achieving Pseudo-Transcended Layer Battle Prestige. These types of fiends are typically referred to as the Chosen Fiends, being geniuses that are if not comparable greater than True Bloodline Successors of Supreme Tier Bloodlines and Supreme Warriors War Saint Heritages.

However, while this is typically used to grade the potential of fiends usually limited by their races. There are a few fiends that are born in defiance of there limited class; they are called Variant Fiends, beings capable of achieving the Battle Prestige of a higher-class solely due to their distinctive natures.

Legend speaks of a class above all these, but that is a story for another time...

Xun Yanshan who heard Nei Sinians reply about Fei Tan couldn't help but frown as he spoke, "Indeed, a troublesome fellow, sigh. It's times like these I don't mind the help of that damn Midnight Temple or rather, Midnight Hall passionate," As he said this, he couldn't help but recall the figure of Yin Shuye.

"No time to complain, the armies are about to clash we need to join in to reduce our small troops casualties," Nei Sinian said in a calm and collected tone, a powerful rush of mental power soon after covered his form created a semi-transparent war giant with a battle mace that rushed towards the opposing side with great strides.

"Chet! Fine, no point complaining now can we!" Xun Yanshan said as he transformed into a golden beam of light the crashed straight into a section of the opposing troops.

Ka-Boom! A devasting explosion soon followed which created a shockwave that only managed to push a few of the fiends back, the remainder of the Heiferfiends continued to rush forwards wildly with utter disregard for their lives.

One warrior realm elite Heiferfiend beside the Variant Heiferfiend quickly rushed forwards as it collided with the form of Xun Yanshan blasting him away from the central section of the troops.

Boom-boom-boom! Their blows creating ripples as they wildly battled on a now distance side of the battlefield. As the slower approaching war giant of Nei Sinian was closing in on the troops, another warrior realm elite at the side of Variant Heiferfiend swiftly charged forwards obstructing his path causing him to be embroiled into a fierce struggle.

It was a bloody battle, as both armies collided with each other instantly creating a string of causalities. While most of the troops dead belong to the Hieferfiends, they were quickly replaced by the vast stream of Heiferfiends causing the pressure and casualties on the side of Golden Dragon Imperial Clan and Southern Revolution Faction's group to increase by the passing of time.

One man broke apart the chest of Heiferfiend with a strike of his palm martial skill. However, before he could rejoice, his skull was smashed to pieces by the same Hieferfiend who used its hands to attack wildly clapping them together as if he was clapping a fly.

With the brain matter falling to the ground from its bloody palms, the Heiferfiend swiftly continued its reckless charge not caring about the hand of the man was plunged deep into its chest, or the weight of his body that was still attached to it, swinging its arms violently towards any who came in its reach.

A few other similar scenarios could be seen occurring to the struggling humans battling against this wild troop.

Xun Yanshan seeing this from a distance as he fought the Warrior realm Hiefterfiend frowned, as he cursed, "Damn! If it weren't for these blasted fiends, the casualties would be lower. How could these seemingly normal wingmen be so strong!"

Nei Sinian seeing this knitted his brows for a moment before passing a mental message to the mind practitioners, "What are you doing?! Quickly use the <Mental Barrier Arms Sutra> to reduce the casualties!"

Quickly heeding their leader's command, the group of mental practitioners rapidly chanted a strange set of words in unison. Soon, a semi-transparent barrier form around all of the humans bodies causing the casualties to stop.

The Variant Heiferfiend seeing this frowned as it spoke, "Oh? Well, they were mental practitioners in the mix. Its been so long since I last saw such rare humanities if I recall correctly, the last Ancient Dragon Battlefield War had no such practitioners within. Good! I will add their bones to my collection."

He then looked towards the two remaining large Heiferfeinds by its side and commanded, "Both of you quickly destroy this troops remainders."

As the two by its side heard its command, they responded promptly responded as they rushed towards the opposing human's side, "As the leader commands!"

The Variant Heiferfiend then looked towards the small armor battling the endless troops with a look of disdain in its eyes as it though to itself, "We have prolonged the battle for an unnecessarily long time, the Zone Commanders of the Central Regions should already be heading to Center of all Zones. These weaklings are certainly not the strongest of the humans gathered here. We must prepare before those---"

As the Variant Heiferfiend was lost in its thoughts, it couldn't help but become distracted as it noticed a strange scene. It said, "Eh?"

Vaguely in the distance, a towering structure could be seen. It floated in the air hovering above the lands of these dense mists; It looked like a mansion or maybe a fortress? None of that matters, for the sight before the Variant Heilfiend eyes, was no different than worm catching sight of an eagle.

"Damn! How could they get here so fast?! Weren't they said to be in Blazing Zone? This rejected Fortress of the---" The Variant Hieferfiend cursed loudly as it recognized the 'Fortress' in-font its eyes, but before it could finish its words of anger there was another change.

Pheww! Pheww! Blaze! Two rays of scarlet-red light beamed towards the two assaulting Warrior realm Heiferfiends. Upon sensing the danger, they quickly tried to act. However, their resistance served only to be futile. It was as if they were made of paper; both instantly turned into flames that soon became as ashes leaving behind blazing flames and the two rays of light that materialized into two separate forms standing proudly on the grounds misty battlefield.

Their red robes dancing in the wind, and red hairs that swayed gently behind their backs. Their eyes were shrouded by a layer of darkness that formed because of the flames before their figures, filling them with a destructive presence like no other in the battlefield.

Xun Yanshan and Nei Sinian seeing these two forms were shocked as they shouted together, "How could they be in this zone?!"

"Chet! So, what if you're that dreadful human group. I've heard about in this two days; I must have a look at how you will get through my blades?!" The Variant Heiferfiends said as its gaze grow colder by several degrees, making his entire being become one with the chilly haze of the environment.

He gripped his dual bladed halberd and slowly stepped towards the central area of the battlefield, causing the chilliness to rise and an even firer wind to blow. The dense mist soon after shrouding all of the battling individual's forms once again...
