"Ha-ha. Now that you have chosen to defend this human, I'll kill all of you," the avatar of the Black Demon Imperator declared.
Although furious, the demon laughed. Then, he formed a huge palm that covered several miles and commanded it to target the
queen.
"Attack them! Don't let any of them go," he commanded his underlings.
Numerous demons dashed toward their enemies from all directions. All of a sudden, evil aura filled the whole place.
"Don't flatter yourself," the queen snorted defiantly.
As she raised her fair hand, gray smoke materialized. It transformed into a swaying belt and hurtled toward the palm created by
the Black Demon Imperator. In a flash, the palm was destroyed.
"Your Majesty, we best leave. Our men are about to make a breakthrough. It's not good for them to fight for extended periods in
these circumstances,"
Priest Callum advised the queen through his spiritual sense.
The queen knitted her eyebrows at his advice. She brooded for a short while. 'At this critical time, it is ill-advised to fight these
demons.
We are on the verge of a breakthrough.
If we miss this chance, we might have to wait for a long tto progress in our cultivation.
If we can't take care of these demons quickly, we will lose this opportunity to progress. What's worse, we might have trouble when
advancing in the future.’
Austin speculated the queen's concerns.
He was annoyed.
‘The Black Demon Imperator wants me. On a certain level, it is my fault for involving the evil shadow race. They are in trouble
because of me." Guilt flooded Austin at that thought.
After a while, Austin reached a decision.
"Your Grace, don't worry about me. Take your men somewhere safe so that they can break through.
I'll distract the demon imperator,"
Austin communicated through his spiritual sense.

After that, he used his spiritual sense to speak with Violet, the gnome, Nathan, and the Sect Supremo.
He then transported them to the City model.
The Black Demon Imperator could equal a human cultivator at the Primal Holy Realm. Although Nathan was at the Heaven Realm,
he was not strong enough to be the demon imperator's opponent.
A demon imperator could take out a Heaven Realm master within seconds.
That was why Austin sent Nathan to the City model instead of asking him to help fight the Black Demon Imperator.
Austin wasted no tafter conveying his decision to the queen. He activated his bodily movement skill.
Simultaneously, he exerted the Demonic Teleportation Skill.
Countless shadows were released in a heartbeat.
The next minute, Austin was three kilometers away from where he had been.
"Go to hell, you Black Demon Imperator. | killed your messengers, so what? What can you do to me?
If you have the courage, fighton your own.
You know what? If | meet another of your messengers, | will slay him without any hesitation," Austin provoked the demon
imperator.
He used his vital energy when he spoke so that Black Demon Imperator could hear him. Without waiting for a reply, he activated
the Demonic Teleportation Skill. After a while, he was ten kilometers away from Black Demon Imperator.
"Humph, you cocky guy. I'd like to see how you are going to get away this time," the Black Demon Imperator huffed.
'As a demon imperator, | am incredibly powerful. | have never met anyone who dared to mess with me.
But now, this human boy is insultinglike this. | won't spare his life, ' he vowed as the anger fermented within him.
The Black Demon Imperator then turned into a black light and headed to where Austin had disappeared. In a flash, he was nowhere
to be seen.
Austin's actions left the queen surprised.
Despite that, she knew why he had taunted the demon imperator so as to lure him away. 'Austin is distracting the Black Demon
Imperator so that my people can find a chance to fight our way out and find somewhere to break through.’
The queen appreciated Austin's gesture, and meanwhile, she was worried about his safety too.
"Your Majesty, what should we do now?"
Priest Callum asked.
"Round up our people and find a way out. Take them splace where is safe for them to break through.
I'll help Austin. Although the Black Demon Imperator is just an avatar, Austin is still no match for him.
I'll return to you after the battle," the queen replied.
Gnashing her teeth, she transformed into a gray light and vanished.
Priest Callum looked troubled as he stared in the direction in which the queen had disappeared. After working for her so long, he
knew that she would not change her mind once she had reached a decision. So, he chose to follow her orders.
"Con! We need to leave. Kill anyone who gets in our way," Priest Callum instructed as he turned to glare at the demons who
were surrounding him.
"Go to hell!"
Tens of thousands of members of the evil shadow race were boiling with anger.
They had left the small alternate dimension only to find these demons blocking their path with the intent to eliminate them.
"Kill all these damn demons. No one can bully the evil shadow race!"
"Teach them a lesson so they won't dare to cross us again."
All the members of evil shadow race were eager to fight their enemies and looked as if they didn't fear anything.
They were in high spirits, and their morale was higher than that of the demons.
The fight began in an instant.
Priest Callum turned to a gray shadow, and in the next second, he was amongst the demons.
As he swung his magic wand, gray, aggressive energy rushed out.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Hundreds of demons turned to ashes. Even their souls were ruined!
Freaked out by what they saw, the remaining demons tried to escape from the old priest.

The other members of the evil shadow race also transformed into gray shadows. They flew among the demons and slaughtered
many of their enemies.
"Don't get carried away killing the demons.
Remember that we need to retreat," Priest Callum reminded.
The evil shadow race had the upper hand for now, but the old priest knew that their top priority was to find a place for his people
to focus on making breakthroughs.
Moments later, the evil shadow race broke through the demon's battle formation. A multitude of gray shadows flew toward the
mountains.
The demons were so terrified by the high morale among the evil shadow race that they didn't have the nerve to pursue them.
Austin was over fifty kilometers away from the Water City.
He had activated the Demonic Teleportation Skill a dozen times by now.
Now, he was flying across the sky in the form of a black light.
Another black light that moved exceedingly fast followed him closely.
"How did you master our demonic skills?
It looks like you have many secrets!
When | capture you, I'll use my demonic skill to scan your spiritual soul thoroughly."
The Black Demon Imperator's voice reached Austin's ears.
"Screw you. Try to catchif you can," Austin snapped immediately.
Each the displayed the Demonic Teleportation Skill, he would be transported to a location three kilometers away from where
he had been. However, Austin could sense that the Black Demon Imperator moved even faster than him even though he was using
the Demonic Teleportation Skill.
Austin also noticed that the distance between him and his pursuer was reducing.
The Black Demon Imperator's triumphant laughter resounded in Austin's ears.
"Brat, do you think you can fool me?
The demonic skill you're using consumes a lot of demonic energy. I'd like to see how many more times you can activate this skill.
When you run out of demonic energy, I'll catch you."
