I, The Dragon Overlord Chapter 386

“Kill!!”

“Please, don't kill me.”

“Mom… Dad… I don't want to die.”

“Uoooooo—”

The city of Selar had become a hell on Earth. Soldiers whose eyes were reddened with bloodlust did not bother distinguishing between the combatants and non-combatants before them as their blades hacked out in all directions. This was, after all, the frenzy of war. And there was no time to make distinctions between targets.

The sound of burning houses, children crying, and women's sorrowful wails spread throughout the city. The local soldiers even entered civilian houses to hide and counterattack, and in order to kill the invading forces of Dragon City when they rushed in.

However, there was no need to grieve for both sides, and no one needed to feel guilty. This was because the God of War would forgive them. War meant plundering everything that the other side owned.

The gods of both sides would also forgive everyone involved. Even those soldiers who died in war and went up to their god's divine kingdom would be praised and commended by the gods.

The impermanence of human life and death was just a momentary drama for the gods to watch.

This was the difference between immortal gods and mortals. It was a great difference in rank.

The capital of Selar was different from Dragon City. It was one of the kingdoms of the Seven Kingdom Alliance that had long been infiltrated by the gods. There were many churches in the city, but because the gods were still fighting for faith elsewhere, the kingdom had not yet been divided and the churches of these gods were small and occupied a small corner.

The civilians who could not face the war would run to their respective churches of faith for refuge, and the respective churches would welcome these fugitives.

Because of their fear and terror, these civilians would have stronger faith. Pseudo-believers would also become true believers. How could the gods and church hierarchy not be happy?

So the gods were actually happy at this war where countless were injured and even more dead. The God of War was happy, and the gods on both sides were happy. Even those who were not involved in the war were happy. The tragic death of mortals was a great harvest for the gods.

The major churches took in some fugitives whose homes had been burned, but the priests of these churches were selective. If the other party was a soldier on any side of the war, even if they were believers, the gods would never take them. This was in order not to offend the Dragon God.

At the same time, the soldiers of Dragon City also pretended not to see these churches. As long as they did not take in enemy soldiers, then Dragon City would not casually slaughter these clergymen. This was an unwritten agreement among the gods.

“Selar is soon going to change hands. I'm afraid that this majestic ancient city that stood for a thousand years will be extinguished today.”

A priestess of the church of the Goddess of Love and Beauty gazed at the burning city and sighed darkly as he was followed by a chorus of prayers.

The priests of the Goddess of Love and Beauty all wore revealing and tight-fitting clothes. This thirty-something priestess looked at the young teenage believers taken in by the church, watched them kneeling in prayer at the holy emblem of the goddess, and felt a pang of satisfaction.

The priests' main job was to gain more true believers. This time, the war in Selar had helped her finish her assigned quota. With the number of believers she gained today, she may be able to rise in the ranks within the church.

How could she not be happy at being able to rise in rank and be closer to her god?

If the church was a bit more bigger and could take in more people, the priestess would want the war to be bigger in scale.

“Forgive me, Goddess, above. How could I desire war?”

The thought that popped into the priestess' head made her jump in shock. She hurriedly knelt down to pray. The relationship between the Goddess of Love and Beauty and the God of War was never very good. The thought of revering war was simply a wrong and blasphemous act.

In ancient times, the Church of the Goddess of Love and Beauty focused more on love and lust. The Goddess' priests at that time were divine prostitutes. As long as believers donated money, they could have a shot with the Goddess' priests and enjoy her followers' company. Now that society had become more civilized, divine prostitutes no longer appear in the mortal world and priests had become proper priests.

In some divine kingdoms, there were still divine prostitutes, but they were only beautiful believers with strong faith that served the gods after they die. These believers considered it a reward and honor to make the gods happy with their own bodies.

The relationship between a god and their believer was inherently complex.

The war continued on. Just when the battle was in full swing, mysterious magic formations appeared in many corners of the city. The moment these magic formations appeared, the powerful people who were fighting in Selar City temporarily stopped their respective battles.

“This aura is……”

Alexia and the two demigods fought back and forth, but with all of them restraining themselves and not pouring out their all, the aftermath of the battle between them was not as fiery compared to the legendary rank powerhouses.

The young elven dragon was slightly distressed. She parted her hair blocking her eyes and said in a serious voice, “This is the smell of demons. Such a strong demonic aura. This is a demonic ritual for a large-scale sacrifice to summon demons. Do you want to sacrifice the city to summon demons and resist Dragon City? Such a thing will not be forgiven even by your respective gods.”

Alexia's gaze was sharp, like a sword piercing into the hearts of Eden and Pamela.

Eden and Pamela trembled as they were also confused about the situation. Both of them looked at each other and saw the bewilderment in each other's eyes. After which they shook their heads and said, “Lady Alexia, I think we might have to stop fighting for the time being. We don't know of the current developments. There should be powerful demons involved and fighting each other would only benefit this third party.”

Seeing that they were both sincere, Alexia also eased a lot.

She also did not think that these two would be so underhanded just to win, especially when they were at the top of their respective churches.

Gods detested demons and devils, not because of the destruction and devastation they bring, but because the souls taken by them would not return to their god, but would be eaten by them and become new demons and devils in the Abyss and Hell. The soul of every believer and devotee was a god's precious property, and such behavior was tantamount to theft.

If these two demigods dared to summon a massive amount of demons by sacrificing people, the first to be enraged would be the gods behind them.

“I also think so. We should save our strength and divine power now to face what may happen next. The situation now is quite bad.”

Alexia agreed with Eden and Pamela's words.

Afterward, she directly closed her eyes. As a divine child, she wanted to contact her Father god and obtain divine revelation, a power that only a divine child or a chosen one possessed to communicate with the god at any time.

But soon Alexia gave up because Louie did not contact her. In her thoughts, Alexia guessed that her Father God was fighting with the Goddess of Magic and the Goddess of Earth. The Silver Moon Goddess was also occupied by the Spider Goddess, so Selune could not pay attention to this battlefield. Now, Alexia could only rely on herself.

After a slight pause, Alexia commanded the soldiers of Dragon City—

“Warriors of Dragon City, listen to my order. Temporarily stop the battle in hand and retreat. Retreat outside the city.”

It was easy to invade a city and required a bit more diligence to take away the city, but compared to the gains, the threat of demons made Alexia more alert.

Dragon City's military training placed importance on soldiers obeying orders. Although they were excited about killing and were confused at their lord's orders, they did not resist and retreated in an organized manner. In an instant, the whole city of Selar became quiet.

Suddenly, many soldiers of Selar began to twist in agony. Their whole bodies seemed to be controlled by a mysterious power and were turned into pieces of flesh. As these pieces of flesh burst into a bloody mist, the shrill wailing of souls echoed in the city.

“Banshee's Cry!”

“Someone is sacrificing the soldiers of Selar!”

Alexia saw what was happening in the city. She saw that the soldiers of the city burst into a bloody mist. Their souls were being sacrificed for a huge demon summoning ritual that encompassed the entire city.

This was a demon's method of doing things. They would open a door to the Abyss at the cost of souls and flesh and blood. That way, demons of the Abyss could descend in their full form.

The demons of the Abyss were extremely terrifying. They lived in endless killing and rebirth. Every demon grew up with death all around them. Although there was no order, no normal human army could resist a legion of demons.

“No, what's being sacrificed are not the soldiers of Selar, but the reinforcements sent by Danbusil!”

Eden could tell at a glance that those being sacrificed were not natives of Selar.

“That woman!”

Eden and Pamela exclaimed at the same time. They thought about the mysterious woman who brought in the reinforcements from Danbusil. The two did feel the woman was strange beyond belief, but they did not think too much about it. They only felt that it was great to have more strong people on their side, but they never imagined that the woman was related to demons.

“Giggle, giggle…… Now that you know, don't you think it's all too late?”

Suddenly, an extremely enchanting and seductive demonic voice seemed to be whispering in the ears of the three demigods. The voice was extremely beautiful and demonic. Not only Eden even Alexia and Pamela felt lust ignite in their hearts. Their reason burned with desire and could not wait to become playthings of the owner of the voice.

A female demon figure appeared in front of the three. This female demon did not try to maintain human appearance anymore and appeared in demon form. Upon seeing the female demons, Alexia's pupils shrunk and exclaimed as if she lost her voice, “Succubus Queen?!”
