Reign and the others looked at a new portal that showed up, this time there were only about 50 demons coming out of it, a number far smaller than they anticipated. The demons walked slowly as they looked in front of them, there were no animal-like demons in their ranks, all of them had human figures. Their horns were longer compared to the previous ones while their tails swayed behind them. Scales could be seen covering their arms and legs as they approached the party.

Suddenly there was a shout coming from behind the players.

"Reign, another portal has been opened on the right side!" Everyone was jolted by the shout, Reign could recognize the voice, it was Eldar. He had told them previously that he would notify them if any other portals opened, nobody expected that he was going to notify them like this, however.

"Dammit, alright, you guys take care of the demons here, me and Shadow can go to the other portal, we're the fastest anyway so it won't take us that long," Reign tells the others before speeding towards the other portal, lightning flickered behind him as he was soon out of sight. The situation was a bit dangerous, Reign was certain that Wolf and the others would be fine fighting against the demons, but he needed to hurry up to get to the other portal as the demons would charge towards the castle while the portal would start spawning more and more enemies after some time passed.

Shadow was behind Reign, although his max speed was similar to Reign's, it was something that he could only achieve by using the Shadow Body skill that only lasts a couple of seconds. It only took Reign about 1 minute to get to the portal, the demons had already started charging towards the castle, but luckily they were still quite far away from it. With great speed, Reign charges at them from the side and immediately cuts off the neck of one of the demons that were in the front.

The group of 50 demons stop as they look at Reign, the headless body of one of them collapses as its head flies through the air. Reign was already panting a bit, he has been using his mana to increase his speed so that he can arrive as soon as possible, and even though it worked, it left him a bit drained.

Looking at the demons that had cruel smiles on their faces, Reign simply chuckled before drawing his other sword as well, this time the battle would be hard, only he and Shadow were here and there were 50 enemies, all of a similar level to them.

Shadow was currently standing on a tree branch, he was looking at the demons while clenching his daggers, as soon as Reign attacked he was going to dash in from the side and try to kill a couple of demons before they could realize that there were more opponents.

The demons charge first, their bloodthirsty shouts echo through the forest as they all attack Reign. They had great speed and power, still, it was not sufficient enough to catch up to Reign.

With a flicker of lightning, he was gone, before the demons could even try to find him he was already in their midst. Lightning was wrapped around his right arm as he skewered a demon, his whole sword passing through its chest.

Swiftly Reign kicks the demon away from him before blocking the attacks of the other demons. Some of them used weapons while others trusted their powerful claws to do the job. Reign knew that stopping would mean being surrounded and attacked from all sides so he did his best to dodge some attacks before lunging at other demons that were a bit further away. His tactic worked as the demons couldn't follow his movements and would be left stunned for a second before locating him.

The drawback however was that he could only attack once or twice before being besieged by the demons, the demons had great vitality, and simply stabbing them through the chest wouldn't kill them, the one Reign attacked at the beginning was on his feet and charging towards him with the others while having a fist-sized hole on his chest.

As the demons attacked they failed to spot another figure behind them. Shadow was quickly moving from place to place as he used his daggers to stab through the demon's necks, the strong poison would enter their bodies right away and it would only be a short time before they succumbed to their wounds.

It was only after Shadow had killed about 6 of them that he was spotted. He gave them a nervous smile and even waved at the demons before disappearing in his own shadow. The demons were greatly confused at what had happened, but they didn't have a lot of time to think as Shadow had actually teleported right behind Reign, he used his daggers to stab through the eyes of a surprised demon before standing back to back with Reign.

The two friends gave a wry smile as they started fighting against the demons, it wasn't the first time the two were outnumbered anyway.

On the other side of the castle the party was dealing with the demons together, Wolf's flames were lighting up the sky as some of the trees caught on fire. Tank was using his scythe and shield to block the approaching demons before slashing them apart with the strong weapon. Beast's monsters fought as well, they were on the outskirts of the battlefield and would pounce on a demon from time to time, doing their best to drag it away from the group before all of them gang up on it. The golden lion however was strong enough to fight against the demons by itself so it didn't need to resort to using such tactics.

Laura and Beast bombarded the demons from long-range as they stood some 20 meters away from the battlefield. From time to time Laura would charge forward and use her Demonic Whip to attack the demons from mid-range, her class was one that focused on killing demons, only when fighting against them would she ever be able to use all that she had.

The whip would burn the skin and flesh of any demon it touched, the places where they were hit would corrode slightly and the pain was almost unbearable for them. The many demons were slowly being wilted down by the group as they used their skills to take care of them, their minds however were somewhere else, they all wondered if Reign and Shadow will be fine, the two of them are strong, especially Reign, but against all of these enemies, not to mention the next wave, would they truly be fine?

They didn't have a lot of time to think about that however as they had to deal with the demons, for now, their numbers were lower compared to before, but they were of course much stronger.

After almost 5 minutes the battle at Reign's side was over, he and Shadow were sitting on a nearby rock as they panted, they were covered in blood and multiple small wounds from the fight. They managed to take care of the demons, but it was still hard, especially since neither one of them went all out since they didn't know if there will be more waves after the next one.

[ Attention players, the final wave is coming. ]

"Well, that answers it." Reign smiles as he hears the notification from the system, knowing that the next wave is the final one truly helped as they now knew that they could go all out against the demons.

Both of them smiled as they drank some water, they only had about 30 seconds of rest between the two waves and the portal was already opening in front of them. Since they were going to use everything they had Shadow decided not to use the same tactic as previously, he wanted to see exactly how strong he was and how much damage he could deal to the demons that were coming out of the portal.

Reign's body gets coated by lightning as he smiles at the demons who had just come out of the portal, looking at the two people in front of them, they were confused. One person was covered in lightning and smiled at them warmly while the other was shrouded in darkness as he looked at them like they were prey. Even the brutal demons felt a sense of pressure coming off from the two as they prepared to attack.

With a shout the 50 strong group attacks, Reign and Shadow disappear from their sights as they start fighting against the demons in the middle of the group, each of them was using everything he had, lightning exploded around Reign as the demons had to go through immense pain each time their attacks were blocked. Shadow on the other hand used the shadows of the demons to create gaps through their ranks and attacks, binding their legs or a hand, using the shadow spikes to pierce through their feet..

The battle was even easier compared to the last one, of course, the drawback was that they were using a huge amount of mana to do so.historical
