My Goddess is Good at Pretending-Chapter 695: Second Phase
It was only through the combined efforts of the White Hero and the secret protectors, who exploited a crack in Alronuth’s soul-forged armor, that they could force the demon king to the corner.
Unfortunately, the demon king had not yet met his first death and had already entered his second phase. The reason for the early activation was that the demon king went berserk after witnessing his beloved demoness being slaughtered horribly right before his eyes, leaving nothing but a pool of blood and flesh.
Under the joint efforts of everyone who grouped and ganged up on the demon generals, they managed to defeat the three demon generals. The Demon King of Extreme Evil went berserk. He unleashed his full 9th Rank power, transforming himself into a monstrous form that eclipsed the throne hall. The ground trembled as he summoned infernal flames and torrents of darkness to consume everyone into his demonic domain realm.
The atmosphere and terrain soon transformed into a realm of dark paradise attended by countless high-ranking demons. The newly exterminated demon generals rose from the dead, resurrected as if they had never been defeated, let alone killed.
"It’s your end. Lord’s domain realm is active. You’ll pay for what you’ve done with gruesome deaths!" Vyleth as the strongest demon general led the countless summoned demons to assault the greatest variables at the back row.
Once the supports were dealt with, the heroes would lose their backbones, and it would be a matter of time before his Lord slaughtered those presumptuous humans, especially those two covered in white light.
"Return to pupa, weird demon. You picked the wrong opponent." Shiina stood before Miko, extending her hand forward.
She only moved her finger up and down, and the approaching demons were reduced to pieces. However, the demonic domain did the magic to revive them right after.
In response, Miko cast holy magic to slow down the weird power of demonic revival. Her disciples cleansed the area of any threats, leaving nothing but annihilation.
The other groups soon encountered difficulties due to the encirclement of countless demons and the never-ending waves of attacks from the repeatedly revived enemies led by the demon generals.
Thanks to the demon king’s demonic domain expansion, the battleground at the throne hall got switched into a vast realm of dark domain, and the situation became disadvantageous because their main formation was broken, but that wasn’t the end.
As for Rhykdohr and Mashiro, they engaged in a high-destruction clash in the distance. It was a close-quarters battle between the dark force against the white magic.
"After being sealed and weakened for so long, they found a loophole and exploited it to recover their power. He’s only two ranks lower than when you slayed and sealed him centuries ago." Miko muttered softly, wondering what Shiina would do to slay this troublesome demon king.
Rhykdohr and Mashiro wouldn’t be able to survive until phase four. However, she guessed the demon king possessed another phase after the fourth kill because Shiina never truly put Alronuth in his most desperate state. Speaking from experience, all high-rank demonic creatures always hid one or two ultimate trump cards as the very last resort.
"They weakened the world’s dragon veins in this region and committed countless evil evils to accumulate bad karma to strengthen themselves with the corrupted demonic qi..." Shiina heaved a subtle sigh as she overlooked the outside force interferences as the possible variables.
She sealed the troublesome demon king and his minions, but after centuries, the destroyed city was reconstructed and many corrupted evil demons in this accused demon city did everything possible to awaken the Demon King of Extreme Evil and his three demon generals.
"I’ll make a move once they almost hit their limit. That might be in the next phase or the fourth phase." Shiina reassured Miko because she had to wait for the local heroes to show off a bit more so they could be proud of their feat. It would be best if the Glorious God and his chosen heroes subjugated the demon king without her help, but she knew it might be too much for them.
"Lady Shiina is here to protect me. Demon General Vyleth will be exterminated right after his resurrection by her. Disciples, focus on wiping out the demons. We’ll move to support the other group." Miko cheered for her disciples.
After that, she sent a voice transmission to Myra, Bhae, Daemyx, and Elysion Church’s force. "We got your backs. Keep slaying the revived demons until the demon king enters his third form."
"For the glory of the Supreme Goddess!" The holy knights raised their holy swords, unleashing their offensive moves without hesitation to wipe out the demons, no matter the monstrous amount of enemies that would be resurrected endlessly.
The Elysion Church handled two demon generals and two-thirds of the summoned demons, well-supported by the mages and priestesses. However, the hero expedition party, despite their joint effort, found it was so hard even to survive the stampede and the relentless attacks of this death siege.
Due to the sudden demonic domain activation and the siege of countless summoned demons, their positions got moved quite far from the supports, and they got no chance to regroup to the main formation. The sacred blessings protected them gradually became weaker and weaker, and their defense formation soon collapsed and everyone became overwhelmed, slowly falling into a disadvantageous situation.
The demons broke through the defenses of the heroes and prodigies, charging at the backline warriors and party’s supports.
"Argh! My arm!" Someone got his arm severed by the demons. He was about to be killed, but someone saved him back to the defensive formation.
Someone got his arm severed by the demons. He was about to be killed, but someone saved him back to the defensive formation.
Yet, someone who was already badly injured immediately ran to the front line where the heroes and prodigies were fighting against the demon general, trying hard to eradicate the countless demons even though they were overwhelmed. "I’ll bring you to hell with me!"
"Fool, leave your corpse intact! You can’t be revived if your body is destroyed!" Cai Hong yelped out in shock, but the man already had his body cracked, ready to blow himself up to give them time to regroup or retreat.
"For humanity’s glory!" The man leaped into the demon army. He looked back at his comrades with a smile on his face, giving a thumbs up before he used his remaining spiritual energy in his dantians and core to blow himself up.
*Boom!*
The self-destruct move of the dying 6th Rank warrior caused a severe explosion of centralized destructive power, obliterating everything within a twenty-meter radius and blowing away thousands of demons within a three-hundred-meter radius.
"Fool, but I will remember your self-sacrifice, honorable warrior." Jensen saluted once to the fallen warrior.
However, it was still a war, a high-level battle. The honorable warrior’s sacrifice gave them time to retreat to the main formation near the Elysion Church’s groups.
"Ugh." Harriet bit her lower lips, feeling helpless once again.
She was also the summoned hero, but Mashiro went all out to face the demon king, and she was still there, unable to save even one person from death. It had been repeated in the past two months, and their initial expedition party had been reduced by half due to casualties...
"Move, move! Retreat to the Elysion Church for better support! We’ll avenge the fallen warriors by exterminating the demon king." Richard beckoned everyone to retreat immediately or it would be too late before they were surrounded again.
All the warriors were already prepared to meet their demise on the battlefield anytime, but if they could use their power for victory, they would be willing to do so. However, the war against the demons should not fall apart and be separated, and therefore, they had to regroup as soon as possible.
*Swoosh!*
Gabriella dashed with Mikael and Rafaela by her sides. They floated in the air, unleashing long-range holy magic attacks to hit the demons surrounding the hero party hard.
"Beware of the hidden dark torrents on the ground. You will be thrown who knows where once you get sucked in. This domain will constantly try to separate us." Rafaela reminded the retreating warriors while pointing down.
"Thanks for the reminder, Holy Priestess." Jensen swung his spear to the ground, manifesting the starry path for the warriors behind them to follow. They avoided the invisible dark torrents on the ground, and they managed to avoid the traps.
"Someone still falls before we can arrive to provide support." Miko regrets that, but it happened.
"It’s not your fault. He met his death with honor for his comrades." Shiina put her hand on Miko’s back.
"It will take them a long time to defeat the demon king’s second phase at this rate. We’ll be singled one by one in this domain sooner or later." Miko pondered about it.
The summoned demons were just infernal creatures made of pure concentrated demonic energy. Her team and the Elysion Church’s group could hold their ground because all of them possessed the capability to shield and repel the evil even without her help, but it would be different from the other group. The hero party, although consisting of six summoned heroes, prodigies, and elite warriors, would meet more casualties the longer the battle took place.
The Glorious God and the White Hero got their hands busy because of the berserk demon king’s crazed destructive power in the distance. Not to mention, the domain would constantly debuff them and even forcefully relocate them if they were careless.
Therefore, she had to speed up the second phase to cleanse these mobs and break the domain. She took out a golden orb from her subspace, looking back at everyone on the battlefield. "Everyone, please shield your eyes with any protective device. What comes next will be extremely blinding, risking blindness."
The ten disciples, holy knights, priests, and priestess wore their special sunglasses. Those who forgot to bring it simply closed their eyes right away. Although they understood they were still in the middle of a battlefield, fighting against the siege of countless demons and evil spirits, they did it unconditionally just because the sacred lady asked them to do so regardless of anything.
The hero party was taken aback by the sudden warning, but most of them put their faith in the Sacred Sakura Saintess, the sacred lady of the Elysion Church.

"Yes, the divine blinding light!" Jophiel muttered with a feverish gaze and flushed face, overly excited to see her master’s divine technique.
"You’re fully prepared, eh?" Mingyue shielded her eyes because she didn’t bring sunglasses. Miko’s disciples and most of the Elysion Church’s people were fully prepared for this...
What happened next was just as they had expected. Miko floated up and used her divine artifact. Everything soon became so bright and blinding, destroying the demonic domain, cleansing the debuffs, wiping out the summoned demons, and returning the dead demon generals back to death.
