ROAR!!!!!!!!!!
The huge demon roared once again.
Hearing the huge demon’s roar, the army of demons rushed towards the summoned undead pawn soldiers even furiously from before. But unlike what they thought it will be, they are the types of undead that could be killed in just one strike, but the undead pawn soldiers skillfully evade their strikes and smartly counterattacks.
This is the strategy that the Ghoul General came up with.
When the demons got startled by the undead pawn soldiers’ fighting skills and got absorbed in killing them, they will unintentionally gather at one point.
That’s his aim.
“Fire,” Instructed the Ghoul General.
With one instruction of the Ghoul General, the magicians chant their destructive spells while the archers shot with their magical arrows. Since the ones fighting the demons are just pawn soldiers that could unlimitedly be summoned by the summoners, they don’t have to worry about unintentional friendly fire.
The destructive spells of the magicians are effective for both the demons and the pawn soldiers, but the magical arrows are only effective against the demons, so the undead pawn soldiers got the advantage to kill the demons that lose the ability to move because of the rain of magical arrows.
The magical arrows are enhanced with poisons, while some of them are installed with explosive magic. The poison is deadly, but since the demonic mana inside the demons will give some kind of immunity toward it that will halt the poison’s effects, but the poison also has a paralyzing effect that made the demons lose their ability to move.
The undead pawn soldiers could now kill the demons easily, but some of the demons have tough skin that the undead pawn soldiers have the trouble of killing.historical
Just by the combo of the magicians’ bombarding of spells and the archer’s continuous rain of magical arrows, the demons got their number easily reduced to half of their original number while the rest of them got paralyzed and injured.
“Advance!” (Ghoul General)
Hearing the Ghoul General’s order, the undead cavalries rush towards the battlefield with their undead mounts, advancing towards the demons. They easily slashes their way and killed all of the demons along the way.
They rush in a solid formation, leaving them paralyzed and injured demons with no gap to take advantage of. The cavalries only marched once and split into two groups, rushing back towards the army at the back. Each of them has two pawn soldiers riding together with them that ready to jump themselves towards the demon to protect the cavalries, making no casualties at the cavalries’ side.
After the undead cavalries arrived back at the formation, it’s now time to start the raid.
(Excellent plan, what is left is only the huge demon and the remaining injured demons) (Lich Oz)
ROAR!!!!!!
The huge demon once again roared in anger as his demons got easily slaughtered.
“Advance,” Ordered the Ghoul General.
The army marched slowly towards the huge demon. The huge demon slowly rises as he ready himself for battle. The huge demon looked like a demonized Godzilla. Its red scales looked like it’s harder than any armors, his sharp teeth looked like numerous guillotine blades, and his claws are as big as pillars.
But even if he has such terrifying form, it won’t even make the army of undead flinched.
“Split,” Ordered the Ghoul General.
Following the Ghoul General’s command, the undead cavalries once again depart. They split into four groups and went to four different directions of the huge demon.
After advancing and approaching the huge demon a little more, the Ghoul General ordered his army to stop.
“Kill him” (Ghoul General)
Once again, the undead archers and undead magicians bombarded the huge demon with magical arrows and explosive spells. The heavy-armored soldiers stand at their position in front of the archers, summoners, and magicians while the light-armored soldiers continue their advance.
But unlike before, the light-armored soldiers didn’t advance with a neat formation, but in a free formation with just a single order.
“Evade and attack,”
The light-armored finish up killing the remaining demons that could still survive but still get paralyzed by the poisons and continue to advance to the huge demon.
With the cavalries acting as a decoy and distraction, the light-armored soldiers advance to attack and finish the huge demon, the heavy-armored soldiers guarding the rearguards, while the archers, magicians, and summoners will support them from behind.
The summoners summoned all of their high-ranked summoned creatures to guard the rearguard’s right and left flank, while keep on summoning pawn soldiers to advance to the huge demon to keep it annoyed and disturbed.
The bombarding of magical arrows and spells deplete the huge demon’s health quickly. The huge demon’s horn shines as he got furious by the damage he sustained from the bombarding.
Boom!!!!!!
The huge demon shoots a demonic beam towards the cavalries, but the cavalries avoided it rather easily with their high agility. With the cavalries circling in four groups and from four different directions, and the light-armored soldiers scattering and slowly advancing towards the huge demon, the huge demon got confused on which one it should kill first.
But before it could decide which one to kill first, the damage he received from the bombarding of the magical arrows and the explosive spells are too big already, while the poison from the magical arrows started to take effect, paralyzing the huge demon, making it fall to the ground.
The cavalries and the light-armored soldiers immediately rushed and advance to the finish of the huge demon. With a single groan, its scales that fell from the huge demon transformed into summoned demons.
(I see.. So those demons attacking the kingdom came from these huge demons’ scales.. Every time his scales fell, it transformed into an army of demons.. What a terrifying yet useful ability..) (Lich Oz)
But even though it’s unexpected that the demonic scales transformed into another horde of demons, the undead cavalries and the light-armored undead soldiers quickly recovered and slaughter all of the summoned demons quickly.
With the summoned pawn soldiers supporting them and sacrificing themselves whenever they’re in number, reduce their survival rate, leaving only some that got injured.
The huge demon was once again left alone as all of his summoned demons easily and quickly got slaughtered by the army. They mercilessly slash and strike at the vulnerable and paralyzed huge demon, and after a few minutes, the huge demon finally died.
The scars on the huge demon’s corpse unleash green drops of blood. When the undead soldiers touched the green blood, the blood unexpectedly got absorbed by their mana, which surprises Ghoul General too.
“General, gather all of the undead near the huge demon corpse,” Instructed Lich Oz.
“Yes, your imperial majesty,” (Ghoul General)
Under the Ghoul General’s command, all of the undead armies gather near the huge demon’s corpse, and all of them sense strange abnormalities when they stand near the corpse.
Their body slowly regain their vigor, they felt like they slowly and steadily become stronger, their mana capacity became larger and thicker. The huge demon’s blood flew and gather to them, but disappeared when they touched it as if they absorb the blood.
“This is a new way of strengthening that we found when the demons invaded the undead world. Demons’ are a creature that filled with a condensed amount of demonic mana. And when they die, their corpse and blood that filled with condensed demonic mana slowly return to nature, dissipating into the air,” (Lich Oz)
“We, undead, have unexpected compatibility between our undead element and demonic element. The demonic element will get attracted with our undead element, while our undead mana devour the demonic mana of the corpse that start to dissipate into the air,” (Lich Oz)
“It will take some time for our magic core to process the absorbed demonic mana, but it will strengthen us a lot when our magic core complete on processing the demonic mana,” (Lich Oz)
“You could also absorb the huge demon’s corpse, and since the huge demon seems to be a summoner type, the summoners might be the ones who have the highest possibility of obtaining a new ability. Take your time on absorbing it,” Explained Lich Oz.
Lich Oz slowly observes the summoned demons that got summoned by the huge demon. There are lots of them, but the number is not what concerns him.
(Some of the demons that attacked the kingdom are not here. There are numerous types of demons that attacked the undead kingdom, does it mean that this huge demon and other demonic creature summoned their demons and attack the undead kingdom together?) (Lich Oz)
“Well, whether they work together or not, they will be a good nutrition for the army,” (Lich Oz)
