Dulgun arrived before an enormous black cauldron floating in the void. She had over a hundred people behind them, all in rank 11 but from different paths. She was still dressed regally, and the serpent-shaped staff in her hands accentuated her noble aura.
"The Barbarian King's wife?" said a cold but tired voice. "Why are you here?"
"My name is Dulgun, and you know that," she stated calmly. "I'm here to ask you to surrender and follow me peacefully."
The void was momentarily quiet before the Puppet Demon stated: "It seems the Barbarian King did not come. Go away. I don't have time to waste on you."
Dulgun remained calm, and she did not utter another word. She raised her staff to release a red light that enveloped the people behind her: [War God's Blessing]. These cultivators' aura suddenly increased significantly; to be precise, their strength rose by 3-fold. There were a few individuals whose strengths were on par with 7-fold, and they immediately reached the peak of the Empyrean Realm.
Dulgun's men roared as they sensed the power coursing through their veins. They loved going on missions with the queen because they could fight all out without worrying about their lives. Dulgun waved her staff again, this time releasing a white light. For the second blessing, she removed these men's sense of pain so they could fight without any concerns or restraint.
An elderly man dressed in a black robe, heavy bags under his eyes, scattered white hair, and a pair of creepy eyes appeared before the group. "What's the meaning of this?" the Puppet Demon asked.
"Attack," Dulgun said as an explanation, and her men did not hesitate. The fastest of them condensed a bolt of lightning in his palm before throwing it at the Puppet Demon. A warrior clad in black armor that covered it from head to toe appeared before the demon and cut off the lightning bolt with its long sword.
The Puppet Demon had received the message loud and clear. With a thought, he summoned an army of millions of puppets that looked exactly like the first warrior. This puppet legion was perfectly aligned like a well-trained military. As soon as they appeared, they activated an array that blessed all their strength to the commander or the first warrior who protected their master.
The Commander Puppet's long blade released a dark light before slashing toward Dulgun. Her men came before her to erect a shield, but something unexpected occurred. The slash disappeared, and when it reappeared, it had already hit someone called the Fire Ash Empyrean, cutting her body and soul into a hundred percent.
However, the Fire Ash Empyrean did not scream in pain, nor did her eyes show any despair at the fact she was instantly killed. On the contrary, her eyes contained this obvious smirk, and it did not take long for the Puppet Demon to know why.
[Life Goddess Blessing]
Dulgun expertly used her Blessing Dao by releasing a green light from her staff that returned the Fire Ash Empyrean to her peak state; anyone who looked at her would not know she was someone who had died less than a second ago. Her soldiers roared in excitement before rushing toward the opponent.
Although they were heavily outnumbered, these men did not care and fought as if they were protecting their families. The word defense did not exist in their vocabulary, as they used one powerful attack after another. And every time they were severely injured, a green light would descend from the sky to return them to their peak state.
'There were rumors that the Barbarian King's wife was behind his operation. However, who would have thought she was so capable,' the Puppet Demon thought. However, little did he know how stupid his thoughts were. Dulgun was an Everlasting Empyrean, and only talented individuals can achieve such a thing. As such, he should have immediately taken her seriously after laying eyes on her.
'It's probably best for me to end this fight as soon as possible in case the Barbarian King is not far from here,' he thought. If there was one person all the leaders of the Lawless Zone hated to fight the most, it would definitely be the Barbarian King. The brute was extremely powerful, but on top of that, he was essentially unkillable. No attack worked on him, and underhanded methods like poison or assassination were also useless.
As the Puppet Demon was deciding on his next move, Dulgun had already chosen her next move.
