"Xander, I'm glad I didn't choose to beco your team's enemy in the Gates of the Apocalypse," Malcolm said as he looked at the battle taking place in front of him with awe and disbelief. "I don't want to be on the receiving end of this army."
Xander didn't say anything and simply nodded his head.
When Malcolm first t Lux, the Half-Elf was weaker than him. Because of this, he didn't treat him seriously and even thought that he wasn't that of a big deal.
When he faced him for the first ti, even though he got defeated by the Half-Elf, he thought that Lux only got lucky.
But soon, he later found that it wasn't just luck.
Every ti he saw Lux, he couldn't help but feel bitter due to how fast his rank was improving. Also, the Half-Elf could summon a formidable army, allowing him to fight large-scale battles even if he was on his own.
Malcolm was now a D-Ranker, but Lux was already a C-Ranker.
This difference in strength wasn't sothing that he could even out in a short period of ti.
The only way to reach this rank, right after completing the Ranker Trial, was to absorb tens of thousands of Beast Cores of High-Ranking Monsters.
Then and only then would you beco a C-Ranker.
Even so, Malcolm despised people who did this.
Yes, their rank would drastically increase, but so what?
The mont they faced soone of equal Rank who had reached that level through continuous battles, these Fake-Rankers wouldn't even stand a chance.
But Lux was different.
Malcolm knew that whatever thod the Half-Elf used to reach the rank he had now, it wasn't due to consuming countless Beast Cores to get an upgrade.
"This is crazy," Malcolm muttered as the Demonic Army in front of him started to scatter and run away from the Undead Legion, who surged forward like a wave of death.
The Satyrs were also just as surprised as Malcolm, with so of them looking at their leader, Ampelos, with determined looks on their faces.
"Boss! Are we just going to let those Doom Knight Gangbangers get the better of us?" one of the Satyrs stated. "Just look at them! Those Demons are being impaled left and right by their long and hard swords."
"That's right, Boss!" another Satyrs spoke up. "As a Satyr, I pride myself in being hard and strong. If they can do it, we can do it better!"
Ampelos blinked once then twice before glancing at his subordinates, who were looking at him with faces ready to go to war.
However, instead of telling them to fight, he spoke out sothing that bothered him.
"But those Demons are n," Ampelos comnted.
"Boss, have you heard of that famous saying?" a Satyr inquired. "As long as there is a hole, there is a way!"
"I repeat, those Demons are n," Ampelos stated.
"Boss, sotis, it takes a man to be the best girl," another Satyr comnted. "Have you heard of Astolfo?"
"No. And I don't want to know anything about him."
"Your loss, Boss. I'd tap that guy anyti."
Ampelos pretended that he didn't hear his subordinates' words and simply stared in front of him. However, the more he waited, the more these gazes intensified until he finally relented.
"Fine," Ampelos stated. "Do what you want to do. Just make sure that you don't die, okay?"
"Yeah! Boys let's go!"
"Damn right. Ti to use Deez Nuts!"
"Charge my brothers! Let's show those Doom Knight Gangbangers what we're made of!"
"""Wooo!"""
The Satyrs that numbered in the thousands charged towards the Demonic Army who were now in chaos.
The Demons, who were unlucky enough to be overtaken by these madlads, were stabbed repeatedly until they cried for their mothers and fathers.
The Doom Knight Gangbangers who were near these chaotic scenes looked at the Satyrs with a steady gaze.
The Satyrs looked back at their "rivals", feeling all smug and peppy.
"Noice!" one of the Doom Knight Gangbangers comnted as he gave the Satyrs a thumbs up.
The Satyrs also gave the Doom Nnight Gangbanger a thumbs up before all of them continued to stab any Demon within their reach, painting a very grueso sight.
"Just kill already!" one of the Demons that were captured by the Satyrs cried out. "A warrior would rather die than be humiliated!"
"That's what they all say at first," the Satyr that was stabbing the Demon sneered. "Don't worry, you won't get any complaints after I am done with you."
Malcolm, Xander, and the rest of the humans, gave Ampelos side-long glances.
All of them looked at the Satyr Leader in disgust, but the latter simply pretended that he was not aware of their gazes.
Perhaps wanting to shift the topic, Ampelos cleared his throat before pointing in the direction of the other Legions who didn't participate in the battle and completely ignored their presence.
"We are not like that Half-Elf who has an army of his own," Ampelos stated. "However, we shouldn't forget that we are here to fight. It is impossible for us to face an entire legion by ourselves, so let's just harass them from afar."
Xander, Malcolm, and the others nodded their heads in agreent.
They truly couldn't fight the way that Lux was doing, and standing on the side without doing anything wasn't their style.
Because of this, all of them banded together and began throwing long-range attacks at the Demonic Legion closest to them, killing several demons in the process.
"G-General, what should we do?" one of Jackal's Aide's asked.
"Order all Legions to use long range attacks to kill the enemy," Jackal ordered.
"But, Sir, our n are still there fighting," the Aide comnted.
"There is no other way. We can't get near them, or that Necromancer will use his Corpse Explosion Skill," Jackal replied. "The best thing we can do is decimate his entire army before he can summon more Undead. If our n die in the process, then so be it. They will die for the greater good."
Although he was reluctant to do it, the Aide bowed his head and passed Jackal's orders to the rest of their army.
A few minutes later, a rain of spells and other projectiles rained down on Lux's Undead Army, killing thousands of Undead and Demons at the sa ti.
Asmodeus, who was standing beside Lux, placed his hand behind his back and smiled.
"Master, it seems that the enemy General plans to wipe out our entire forces, with complete disregard for his own n," Asmodeus stated. "Should we do Plan B?"
Lux nodded. "Yes. It's ti for us to bring the battle to their doorstep."
Asmodeus chuckled before summoning a dozen Giant Skeleton Cannons that he had prepared for this day.
"Master, we can only use each Cannon six tis," Asmodeus stated. "I did my best to imitate the design of the Destroyer, but my prototype lacks both range and firepower."
"Will your projectiles reach the enemy camp?" Lux inquired.
"Just barely, but I am very optimistic that it will enough," Asmodeus replied.
Lux smirked. "Good. As long as we can close the distance, that is enough."
The Half-Elf and the Lich King then recalled their forces that were being decimated by the enemy's long ranged attacks.
They then pressed their hands together in order to create so cannonballs for their counter offensive.
"Skeleton Make…. Cannonballs!" Lux, and Asmodeus shouted and encased fifty Doomknight Gangbangers in a Skeleton Shell, which would be used as projectiles for the cannon.
The Lich King's clones did the sa, and before long, nearly 50 Skeleton Cannonballs filled with Doomknight Gangbangers, as well as Jade Golems were ready to go.
While Asmodeus and his clones were busy loading up the cannonballs with their forces, Lux created a special Cannonball, which would contain Diablo, Ishtar, Pazuzu, Orion, Lazarus, ALL-MITE, Zagan, and Shax.
He intended to also send his main force at the enemy's camp, allowing his heavy-hitters to rampage to their heart's content.
Once everything was ready, Asmodeus didn't waste any ti and gave the signal to start the counterattack.
"Aim!" Asmoedus raised his hand, as the Bone Cannons took their aim.
After making sure that they were all aiming in the sa direction, the Lich King sneered before pointing at the center of Jackal's army.
"Fire!"
A series of explosions erupted from the Cannons, sending their payload towards where the strategist of Andras army was located, giving him a nasty surprise.
