The train passed through numerous wormholes before finally stopping at the penultimate station. The final station, situated at the border of the Angel Civilization and the Demon Civilization, was inaccessible due to the ongoing Holy War. Thus, Han Wu had no choice but to disembark and purchase flying transport to head to the final station.
For his safety, he sent his Life Infusion Avatar for this mission. The avatar wasnât strong, but was fairly covert. Moreover, it was only a High Lord life form. Even if it died in the Holy War, it wouldnât be a great loss for Han Wu.
Once at the final station, Han Wu summoned another avatar from his divine realm to man the station, functionally creating a respawn point.
With his preparation complete, the Life Infusion Avatar headed for the battlefield. Chaos shrouded the war zone. Explosions rang out constantly. Myriad tech, magic, and monsters flooded the area, a myriad of elemental energy surging through them.
Han Wu barely made it a few steps before a life form cloaked in demonic energy attacked him. Unwilling to take things lying down, Han Wu retaliated, though it took him a while to kill the life form.
It appeared the life form was a minor leader of the demons in this area of conflict. When it died, a group of harpies from the angel faction doubled down on their assault, chasing away the lingering minor demons on the battlefront.
The bombardment only stopped once the demon faction had all fled. A superior of the harpies glided toward Han Wu. Sensing the powerful presence of darkness from Han Wu, he sneered.
âYou filthy beast. Get out of here, or die like that shitty demon.â
Han Wu frowned. If he hadnât killed that life form, the harpies wouldnât have been able to dominate this particular front. However, the harpies not only didnât thank him for his assistance, but were even trying to chase him away. It was preposterous!
Another harpy appeared at the superiorâs side, scoffing. âBoss, why are you talking with that filthy beast? Just kill it.â
The superior glared it into silence. He had actually planned to do so, but was wary of Han Wuâs strength, having seen him kill the minor leader of the opposing faction.
Uncertain if he could win, he naturally chose to play it safe.
âI will warn you once more. Leave, or we will be forced to act.â
Han Wu chuckled. âI wonât leave. Come at me.â
âYouââ The harpy superior growled but held back from reckless action.
The harpy beside the superior, on the other hand, fell for Han Wuâs taunts. Charging forward, it snarled, âYou filthy dark beast, youâre courtingââ
Before it could finish its sentence, Han Wu suddenly appeared behind it using Spectral Dash. He swung his weapon, and a massive cross-shaped slash filled with Dark Energy cut through the harpy.
The harpy fell into a pool of its own blood and died.
Han Wu had killed a harpy directly in front of his superior!
The superior was stunned. Han Wu was much stronger than he had anticipated.
Taking several steps back, he flapped his wings to escape when Han Wu suddenly disappeared.
Han Wuâs cold voice came from beside him. âListen to me if you donât want to die.â
A cold presence pierced through the superiorâs armor, touching the skin of his back where his heart was. The threat was clear.
Torn between life and loyalty, the harpy superior chose to live. âIâll do what you say. Donât kill me.â
âIâll ask the questions, and you will answer me. Have you heard of Night Terror?â
Night Terror was the name of Xu Haiâs friend in the Demon Civilization. The harpy superior shuddered when he heard the name.
âI donât know...â he whispered.
Unfortunately, his involuntary reaction had already given him away.
âMaybe you werenât aware, but I donât like liars. In fact, I usually cut off the tongues of liars, spread honey across their bodies, and let the ants do their work...â Han Wu threatened, fingers gesturing as if slicing flesh from the superiorâs body.
At that moment, Han Wuâs finger appeared like a sharp blade to the superior, ready to cut him open at any time. Frightened, he quickly backtracked. âI remember now. I know who Night Terror is.â
âSpeak.â
âNight Terror is the Vice Commander of the Third Legion in the Demon Civilization.â
âWhere is he now?â
âI donât know...â
Han Wu dug his finger one centimeter into the harpy superiorâs skin. The intense pain forewarned imminent death.
âIâll talk! Night Terrorâs battalion should be on the sixth battlefront, but Iâm not sure if heâll be there! Thatâs all I know, please believe me!â
Han Wu didnât know where that battlefront was. Furthermore, the superiorâs attempted deceptions were such that Han Wu couldnât simply believe him.
âDraw me a map and list down all of the battlefronts that you know of,â Han Wu ordered.
âI donât know. I really donât knowââ
Han Wu grabbed a sword and raised it to the harpyâs neck. The harpy superior immediately changed his tone.
âIâll draw it, Iâll draw it now. Iâll do it fast. Please give me a pen and paper...â
Han Wu ripped a piece of cloth from the dead harpyâs body and tossed it to the superior.
âI need a pen...â the superior requested, a defeated look in his eyes.
âUse your own blood to draw it.â
The harpy superior was on the verge of a breakdown, but under the threat of death, he gathered himself, biting his talons before drawing a map with his own blood. He marked out the different conflict zones and noted down the location of the sixth battlefront.
By the time he finished, his face was pale from blood loss.
âIâve told you everything I know and drew the map. Please let me go,â he begged weakly.
Han Wu waved his hand to dismiss him. The moment the harpy superior turned around, Han Wu stabbed him from behind, skewering his heart and piercing through the front of his chest.
âYouâDespicable...You said you would let me go...â he cursed at Han Wuâs betrayal.
Han Wu scoffed. âI let you go, but I never said I wouldnât kill you.â
âYouââ The harpy superior clutched his chest, bleeding anger and blood.
Ignoring the dying harpy, Han Wu flew off. He wanted to get another map to verify the harpy superiorâs drawing.
