The machine of war continued to rage on, as my balloon kept moving right and left, while both my hands were busy, one slashing with the sword, sending any monster hit by it far away, and the other held the spear, creating endless holes in their bodies.
As for my players, they kept attacking, using the toxic and damaging effect of these monsters' corpses against them.
It took roughly three hours for the new gears to show up in the field, where many scenes of greater damage caused by players started to be apparent on the whole long frontline.
I knew if things kept going like this, this monstrous attack on us would be defeated! And knowing that obviously ant my enemies also knew it.
So, if they wanted to prevent us from entering layer fifteen now, for so unknown reason to , then they would keep sending off their monsters to keep our company.
If they wanted to kill us and failed, then they would issue the order of retreat soon, and for I hoped they wouldn't. it wasn't easy again to be superior to these monsters, and this was a golden chance to greatly reduce their numbers.
However, per usual, my assumptions regarding my enemies always failed for absurd reasons! I started to get greatly annoyed by all this shaful long streak of failure records I had!
After a few hours, and as we were gaining montum and land, killing more and more of these mountain huge monsters, a sudden change erupted that changed everything!
I first heard sothing coming from far. As I was currently the highest person of my entire army, I used my high altitude advantage and glanced towards the direction of this strange sound.
It was like a drum being hit softly, yet in order to create a rhythm. I overstretched my neck, squeezed my eyes hard to see through all the overlapping huge bodies of the soul suckers monsters.
And finally I managed to spot what was coming here!
The mont I saw this, I sucked a cold breath as I was shocked with that scene! Just behind the huge number of soul suckers, a small black line started to appear, coming from the direction of the border with layer fifteen.
As I strained further my eyes, I finally managed to spot what was coming towards us! It was bad news, really bad news!
"Impossible!"
I shockingly muttered, while I glanced at my demon standing behind before swallowing my dry throat, opened the team chat and sent this ssage there:
'Listen up, you will retreat towards our border, let the blacksmith stay in the smallest possible area, while working on the gears. Arrange everyone in layers, making a semi-circle formation. Do it now, and don't ask anything!'
The next thing I did was not to glance at the chat, or at the soul suckers, but towards that huge army of reinforcents heading with strong steps towards us.
I was wrong! totally wrong! my enemies didn't want to prevent us from entering layer fifteen, or would withdraw their monsters; they wanted to kill us all! Exterminate all of us, or at least most of us!
I glanced again at my demon, as he was quite busy attacking the barrier, then I didn't know what else I should do but to close my eyes, and enter into the prison to have a short fast chat with the demoness inside.
The mont I entered the prison, I saw here marveling at her upgraded equipnt against a strange shaped large mirror that she summoned from god knew where!
Once she noticed my presence, she hurriedly hid that mirror away, turned around and smiled to as she said:
"Hi master."
I wasn't interested in her mirror, at all! However this wasn't the ti to ask her about that, as I hurriedly said:
"A new army is coming, the sons of him. do you know how to kill them?"
Her face changed, as she hurriedly said, in a serious face:
"Let him loose on them, he would be able to kill hundreds of them easily."
"what if the number was over tens of thousands?"
My words made her freeze, as she couldnt realize the actual number of them might be higher! I just said what I saw, from my far distance, and it seed much more was coming from that border, still crossing it!
"Hmm, that would be troubling," she muttered, before she added, "let out, two will do better than one, right?"
I knew she was right, but I didn't want to do better, I wanted to kill them all! I couldn't possibly imagine myself losing after coming all this far and doing all these great deeds!
"I want a way to kill them," I said.
She shook her head, as she regretfully said:
"I don't know any other way. We didn't face such monsters before when we were serving the wolves. However you should ask him, as anything he would be vulnerable towards, they will also have it."
Her words suddenly made feel I knew sothing, but I couldn't get what it was. I had this vague feeling of Dj vu, like I already knew the answer, sowhere buried deeply in my mind.
I stopped talking, looked directly towards her while my mind was trying to get what was the answer. She glanced at in hesitation, as she looked behind her as if I was mistakenly looking at soone behind her.
My mind ignored everything and started working hard. What was it? What was that solution I totally missed?
I shook my head, before I decided to go out and start fighting back. I had nothing else to do right now, and let the answer bless with its presence the mont it felt right to.
The next mont I opened my eyes, to find my demon was looking towards the direction of the incoming enemies, with a great rage over his face.
"Sigh!"
I sighed, as this was the most logical outco of such a situation. It was a miracle he didn't lose himself and went towards them to kill.
"Calm down, and let's think rationally here. what is your weakness so I can kill them using it?" I asked, as I didn't want him to lose control and jump off my boat, not before telling what I needed to hear.
He then pointed to my prison and roared. I sighed, as I forgot I couldn't speak with him amidst my nervous mont. hurriedly I took him back and then entered the prison, to find him ranting over with rage and curses filled the entire prison.
"Calm down babe, we have to figure out a solution so we can kill them all! Don't worry, we will have our revenge soon."
The demoness was trying to calm him down, as she was relaying with his current mood and feelings. After all, she also had a son who died, and it wouldn't be a surprise to find a huge army made of her son on the battlefield!
"I know this isn't the ti for that, but how can I be calm after seeing this scene! They are heartless! I want to kill them all, all of them, in the most brutal way!"
I sighed, as I knew the two could continue their mont of grief and consolation forever, but our enemies wouldn't wait!
"Please, think, what is your most deadly weakness?"
He glanced at for a mont, then he took a deep breath and spoke:
"I can't say I have a point of weakness at all. I'm invincible, can't be wounded easily by any weapon or force."
"Except when you were beaten badly by the witch, and you had the curse forced upon you by her, hahaha, that was a scene to behold."
The demoness words ca with the completely opposite tone of the current mode, and her laughs even irritated him as he loudly cursed:
"That's not fair! I was born first bound to a forte, and she managed to control using that forte! If I fought fairly with her, I wouldn't have lost, not at all!"
"Lies, she is way stronger than us all combined! Don't over praise yourself like this."
The two kept on ranting and teasing each other while I was in a completely different world!
"Did you say you were born out of a forte?" I suddenly asked, stopping this about an eruption of battle between them.
"Oh, sure, this isn't sothing to be proud of, but , her, and every other one of our kin was born from the heart of a forte."
His words finally enlightened everything to , as I realized what was clouded off my eyes this entire ti!
"So they were trying to buy themselves soti, to finish their preparations at layer fifteen interesting!"
I evilly sneered, as my face turned vicious. I turned to look at the two as I coldly said:
"Be ready, both of you, we have a great battle to fight."
As I was about to open my eyes, the demoness hurriedly asked:
"Are we going to fight these giants and kill them by ourselves?"
"No," I shook my head, before adding, "we will go to the forte they were all born from and turn it upside down. I will use the witch prison artifact to bind them all, making them all my slaves, like the witch did to you."
I then opened my eyes, exited the prison, before glancing coldly towards the sea of giants coming forth, step by step, mixed with the loud sounds of drums that accompanied them, as I smirked:
"Co co, send them all to , the more the better, the more the rrier, you all will be mine, serving , and let thank you all, my enemies, again for your generosity."
