Aakash's body had barely crashed onto the ground that the two dozen light beams surrounded Konrad, revealing themselves to be eighteen dwarf-like men of similar ages and strength. At their helm were six pear-shaped beauties that merely stood at 1.6 meters tall.

　　However, the eerie green of their eyes and s.h.i.+ning bloodl.u.s.t within made all appeal they held negligible.

　　The leading six boasted an early-stage Divine Ascension cultivation base while the remaining eighteen all stood at the peak of Divine Transformation. However, the battle-power echoing from their pressure far outpaced the likes of Anatol.

　　And as the twenty-four surrounded him, Konrad's eyes contorted into a frown. Not only him but Yvonne, Else, Verena and Astarte were all startled. Clearly, those demons had been there for a substantial amount of time. However, despite their extrasensory abilities, they all failed to sense and locate them.

　　And at this juncture, it didn't take a genius to figure out that they all were…zenith ants!

　　They spoke no unnecessary words, and ignoring Nehal, a.s.sailed Konrad from all sides!

　　The eighteen peak-stage Divine Transformation zenith ants all summoned their lineage weapons to hack at Konrad from all available angles. However, although their battle-power far surpa.s.sed that of the usual peak Divine Transformation expert, how could they deter him?

　　*CLANG*

　　Long before their Nihility Flails could reach him, Konrad swung his war hammer in a horizontal curve, sending the eighteen zenith ants flying backward with a resounding metallic sound. Nehal used the opportunity to vanish, collect Aakash and Dasra's bodies, then return to the headquarters!

　　"This is not right. Having witnessed this battle, they should know very well that with Konrad's current strength, they do not stand a chance. Why then do they still dare appear with arms bared?"

　　Else wondered, her words awakening Yvonne and Verena to the suspiciousness of the situation. And indeed, by the time the eighteen male zenith ants were flying backward, three of the leading six were upon Konrad. Though their cultivation was at the early stage of Divine Ascension, they each possessed one high-grade, Mastered Divine Physique.

　　Thus, making their battle-power impossible to underestimate. However, that was still far from enough. With another hammer swing, Konrad sent them reeling with blood spurts, but undisturbed, they returned with greater fervor, locking him with their flails.
