As the demonic army approached the army of Riplas, they were met with heavy casualties.

The traps that Raigon had placed with the help of the whole army showed their ferociousness. Powerful bombs blew away not only the normal demonic creatures but even those that were Tier I were not spared.

The turrets that had been placed on the walls fired non-stop as the soldiers that were manning them didn't even need to aim as the shots would definitely hit no matter where they were aimed at.

There were some, however, that did need to aim.historical

The most powerful turrets were those that were equipped with powerful mana blasts that would create a ray of mana that was able to damage even Tier II creatures. The people manning them aimed at the giants, and thanks to their large size, they were able to easily hit them and faced no difficulty with doing so.

Eisenhorn had prepared himself to go out and face the mid-grade Tier III Giant. He was most powerful when on a steed as his glaive was pretty much created to be used in such a way, but even without it, he was incredibly powerful and lethal in combat.

A mid-grade Tier III demon would pose no threat to him as he could easily break through any defense the enemy had with his blade aura.

It was a cheat-like ability that nobody else in the entire world had, but it was one that Eisenhorn had acquired by incredible effort and he had shed sweat and blood for it.

Even Reign wasn't completely certain that he could come out unscathed in a fight against Eisenhorn. The blade aura he possessed was something he truly knew nothing about and there was no kind of countermeasure that he could think of against it.

Even Aethion, a Transcendent didn't have any idea how Reign could actually defend against something like that. In a prolonged fight, there was even a chance for his rank SS Sword to be broken by the aura, something that would immediately weaken his battle prowess and let the enemy get an upper hand.

No matter how he tried to imagine the battle going, Reign would only see two outcomes.

Either he and Eisenhorn would both die, or Reign would win, but would be seriously injured and would lose most of his equipment during the battle.

As for losing?

Reign never entertained the thought.

He was after all a peak Tier III combatant with a lot more mana compared to others in his realm, to lose against a low-grade Tier III was not something he thought was possible.

Still, Eisenhorn was at the very least as powerful as he was, even though he was almost 100 levels below him, that alone was an incredible achievement.

That was why Reign was comfortable with leaving the army and fighting the demon by himself as he knew that with Eisenhorn here, they would not lose against the enemy forces.

About half an hour had passed, and the demonic creatures were now only about 50 meters away from the soldiers. The soldiers didn't stand idle, however.

They were throwing bombs at the enemy, the archers, other long-range fighters, and mages were launching their arrows, javelins, and spells while those that had long-range skills were using them in order to cut down the enemy before they could reach them.

The demonic creatures had suffered great casualties thanks to the traps, and over 50% had died so far. Even with such high casualties, however, they still greatly outnumbered the forces of Riplas.

Suddenly, Raigon created a huge flag of Riplas in the sky above the army as explosions suddenly started going off everywhere.

The traps were all previously set, but Raigon had made sure to place tens of thousands of bombs deep below the traps. Those bombs would not go off by themselves, only with him giving the signal would one mage that controlled the array that activated them set them off.

Even though this would destroy some traps that were killing demonic creatures even now, it was worth it.

The earth shook heavily as the soldiers of Riplas tried their hardest not to fall down.

The power of such an explosion was enough to seriously injure and perhaps even kill Tier II beings and dealt a heavy blow to the enemy.

Riplas was going all out for this battle and almost all of the bombs they had were used up. Only about 10% of them remained, but even those were being transported to the army by carriages.

Raigon waited until the enemy army had entered the field fully and that way, he could deal more damage to them. The majority of the battlefield was enveloped by the explosion and hundreds of thousands of enemies died as a result of it.

Even some Tier II creatures died, but the enemy still outnumbered them. Not only did they outnumber them with the normal soldiers, but they also outnumbered them when it came to the number of Tier II and Tier III combatants in their midst.

Eisenhorn suddenly roared before charging at the enemy army.

He held his glaive with both hands as he blitzed past the soldiers of Riplas and appeared in front of the demonic creatures. Before any of them were able to do anything to the foe that had appeared, he swung his glaive with great power as silver light shone around him.

[ Heavenly Divider ]

A powerful glaive light shot out from the glaive and cut through the enemy ranks. The blade light was about 30 meters wide and anything it touched was cut with ease. Even some of the enemy Tier II creatures were not able to withstand a moment when faced with the light.

As for any Tier III beings?

The attack was not sudden, and they had enough time to get out of the way. All except for one did so.

A giant stood right in front of the blade light. The giant did nothing and simply continued walking forward and not paying any attention to the blade light before it was about 3 meters in front of it.

The giant roared and knelt down on the ground, his arms crossed in front of it as it tried to defend against the blade light.

It was a futile attempt.

The light passed through the body of the giant with minimal resistance and continued forward. It only dissipated after passing a full 100 meters. The body of the giant stayed in the same position for a moment before the upper half of its body fell down to the ground.

The demonic creatures, however, showed no sign of fear and continued charging forward. Some even charged straight at Eisenhorn who simply scoffed before a splendid silver light appeared around him as he charged forward, aiming at the mid-grade Tier III giant that was walking toward the wall in the distance.

Raigon and the other Tier III combatants stayed back and waited for the enemy to come closer.

All of their traps had been used up, and there were still over 1 million enemies remaining.

It would be a hard battle, but they were currently positioned between the two walls and the enemy had no choice but to charge right into them. Because of the two walls, not all the soldiers would be fighting at the same time and they were actually able to create four lines, with only one being active at a time.

That allowed them to easily switch the men out and allow them to rest up before having them go fight again.

It was a great way to keep their soldiers fresh and not allow the enemy to dominate them with their numbers as they simply couldn't use them effectively.

Of course, none of them expected the situation to continue in such a manner indefinitely and they were certain that some parts of the walls would get destroyed sooner or later, but for now, all they could do was make sure that the soldiers were well rested before each switch and to make sure to keep the enemy Tier II and III powerhouses away from them.

One Tier III combatant would be more than enough to completely disrupt the formation and create a hole into which the demonic creatures would start pouring into.

They had not seen a single Tier III demon yet, and from what Reign had managed to find out, there should only be three more of them, with the remaining Tier III beings being demonic creatures that would pose no threat to the army since they could be seen from far away thanks to their low intellect and no stealth capabilities.

Thanks to the chaos that was happening in front of them, even Reign was unable to find out where the three demons were as the demonic creatures and demons had similar souls. He tried his hardest to pinpoint their location but was not successful.

"Sorry, but it seems I won't be able to find them." Reign said as the king shook his head.

"You've done more than enough Reign, go, go and take down that bastard that orchestrated all of this, we will be fine here." Reign nodded at the king before disappearing from the spot.
