Chapter 606: Rushing Back To The Stronghold
The captain wasted no time ordering the soldiers back to the ships to retreat! They had to get back to the castle now! The captain didn’t know how many people were attacking the castle, but she knew they could not lose that stronghold, no matter what. That castle was located at a strategic point in the Angel continent, just like Aragon Island was located at a strategic point on the demon island. Losing it would give the demons an upper hand they couldn’t afford!
The Angels from Myriad Castle heard the shout from their captain, and even though they were surprised by the sudden order, they wasted no time pulling out from the battle raging and heading toward the ships to move back to the castle. The Angels that had been on Aragon Island were surprised by the sudden order to retreat as well, but they did not have the luxury to be bothered for too long, as they had to continue fending off the rampaging demons that had come from the southern islands.
The demons from the northern islands, though, were a different story, as Arit flew past many of the battles raging around her toward where Hunn was fighting off a large Angel who looked like he was jacked up on steroids! Hunn had already stabbed the Angel in the leg and was using his shorter stature to stay away from the Angel while trying to gain leverage to put his spear into the Angel’s stomach, but Hunn never got the chance, as Arit appeared from behind the Angel and stabbed her hand straight through his body!
SQUELCH!
The Angel gasped in shock and turned his head around to glare hatefully at Arit, but Arit just pulled her hand out with another wet sound and pushed the Angel away. The angel staggered for a moment before falling to the ground lifelessly. Hunn just stared at the dead Angel with a strange resignation in his eyes. That had been his opponent, and he wanted to feel the satisfaction of winning against him, but Arit had taken that away from him, so Hunn felt a little annoyed. But he managed to bury the annoyance inside him as he heard Arit speak.
"Hunn, we have to go after the Angels. They’re retreating to the Myriad Castle to stop Mark."
Hunn’s brow furrowed. What the hell was Arit talking about? The demon lord was at the Myriad Castle? Why was he there? Wasn’t the demon lord supposed to be at the eastern reef, where he said he would come from? Hunn thought Mark was still going along with the initial plan, so he was completely lost when he heard Arit’s words.
There had been a bloodbath in their absence.
But none of these things held their gaze for more than a few seconds at a time. Instead, all of them looked as one up at the apex of the castle—the highest point atop the tower that overlooked the ocean. There was a single man sitting on the tower of the castle, and another figure hanging off the side of the tower wall. The Angels realized in shock that the figure hanging off the side of the tower was Rachael, the daughter of Duke Grant!
The female captain of the ship felt her blood boiling as she took in the scene. She wanted to immediately obliterate the figure in the distance with their light spells, but she couldn’t be sure if the spell would hit the Duke’s daughter or not. It was obvious that the man was using Rachael as a shield to prevent them from firing at him!
The figure stood up, and one of the Angels on the ship cried out as they saw blue lightning arcing around his hand.
"He’s going to fire at us!"
"Light shields! Get our light shields up!"

The Angels scurried to craft light shields around the ship as they watched the figure raise his hand into the air and in the next moment, the wrath of the heavens descended upon them.
