After the demons were united, the resistance from minor races decreases, the better way of handling the internal strife was found, and at last, the foreign race had also kept their activities low.
Quinxie Huxley Wright, The demi dragon race's youth, the one who stabilized the race.
He was a farsighted one, he knew that the current peace was just a temporary one, a truce created by the stronger leaders of demon races, and it would lead back to being chaotic again, after the foreign race decides to play their, infiltrating into the territories of the newly formed unified races of demons.
Though the foreign races had managed to weaken the demon races as a whole, achieving half the goals planned out by them, yet the things didn't went exactly the way they narrated it to be. It got out their hands, when these scattered races of demons were united by the Demi dragon youth, Quinxie.
The foreign race hadn't completely given up on their conquest. The matter at hands were also for the survival of demon races.
Had the demons failed at defending their forts in the upcoming battles against the foreign races. The demons would be perished there after, and their name would becoming a thing of the past, to be remembered barely in the history, being told as the old incapable rulers of the world once.
Quinxie knew that the decision he made that minute could very well change the fate of the demon races under his protection. He wilfully organised a strategy against them, it was focused on the survivability of the demon kin.
Firstly, he organised the demons into major groups. The scout team, the main task force, the reserve forces, the specialists and the commoners.
The scout team was tasked with, monitoring the movements of the foreign race, their hideouts, the measure of their strength and most importantly to find the the spatial distortion that had enabled these foreigners to set the feet on land.
In other words the spying on the enemy grounds was tasked to them, tough the mortality rate was pretty high for this group and their death would not be that of an easy one, very few individuals had actually signed up for this post.
The main task force, as the name suggested it would be dealing with battles against the foreign races.
It was comprised of strong individuals from respective races, carefully selected by Quinxie himself.
They were mostly made up of loyal followers of quinxie, that would be fighting the foreign races side by side with him.
Scouts would provide the task force with valuable information about the places where the foreign races were located, their description of strength and areas needs to be avoided on the battle field, and thus in turn it would be the task force's work to eliminate the plague that's infected the world.
The reserve forces was made up all capable demons that could fight, be it a male or female as long as their cultivation had reached emperor class they could suffice the requirement to join this military body.
Their work was to back up the task force, when their hands were full with dealings of foreign races, and also patrol the areas surrounding the demon territories and prevent the infiltration of foreign races, and prevent their secrets from being found out.
The specialist were a group of people that were positioned to increase productivity for the demon forces. Making artifacts, potions, and different sorts of arrays was their work.
It was made up of grand master classes of blacksmiths, alchemist, array masters and enhancers.
The workers belonged to the different set of people, who were not eligible to join reserve forces.
Their main duty was transporting supplies to the army, so that the army could fight without holding back.
Hilariously, It was mostly made up of peak of king class experts, as their speed would barely pass the requirement for transport, as even a second delay could turn deadly, when the scale of the battle escalated to the realm beyond the emperor class.
A group which was not included into the five forces were the commoners, which was entirety made up of young womens, elderly and children, some demons that were incapable to participate in the forces, as their aptitude for cultivation remained low, had to join this group, for as to not become a free loader leaching off others sweat.
They had to deal with farming and hunting, focused on food productivity.
All in all, Quinxie turned the whole of the demon race into a work force and made them fight against the foreign races.
At ancient times, not all demons had the nature of having their auras turn black, some had white as snow, where some other had it as green and tress.
It was believed that Quinxie found a way, a secret to turn that aura to black for better control over the races.
Since distinguishing the demons from disguised foreign races would be difficult, and there wasn't much time before the foreign races infiltrates into their numbers, he had to act fast and order around the demons to quickly follow his order. Any one that had not undergone his transformatiom would be labeled an enemy belonging to foreign races.
Even the foreign races at later times could not obtain the distinguishing black coloured aura after devouring the corpses of demons.
Though they could disguise their face, their abilities and even some of their traits and their target, but they had failed to obtain the trait of black aura, which could not enable them to completely undifferentiable from the rest.
Even Quinxie the one that made this discovery was unable to decipher it back then, much less the foreign races that were completely new to this development.
This made the foreign races receive a huge blow, as their special trait of disguising was completely useless against the new discovery made by Quinxie.
The demons were only needed to show their aura before the authorities, when asked for inspection, If an odd characteristic person was found to be entering, any of their protected territories, they would simply be eliminated as they had given out their identity of being a foreign race by then.
After the demons changed their aura to black, the activities of foreign race decreased sharply. They had to remained silent for a while.
The scout teams used this time to gather necessary information for him about the foreign races. It is a known fact that learning more about an enemy, before a battle could ensure the general to attain more chances for a victory.
Since the foreign races lay low for a time, before making a decisive battle against the demons, the scouts were dispersed to different parts of the world, where the activities of the foreign race were considerably high, before they had lay down their activities all of a sudden.
A spatial distortion could not be created easily, if one wished for it. It would form naturally and disperse back immediately, if no external forces are blocking it's path of closure.
The foreign races naturally had to stay closer to that place and prevent it from being sealed off by itself, or by a second party like demons.
A massive structure such as a spatial distortion was not a small thing to cover. Ample amount of preparations are needed, if the foreign races are deciding on it.
But since the demon race had not caught the wind of that thing, in the due course of their internal battles, the only possible place to hide it would be within the demon community.
Quinxie announced the scouts to search for places, where they had least expected it to be. A fallen family or the location of a relocated powerhouse would suffice.
Few months after the search, quinxie got a good news along with a bad one. The former being the case where the scouts had successfully spotted the large distortion in space, the thing which he was searching for, but the later being his incapability to deploy his forces and destroy that immediately.
The enemy personnel had outnumbered them by three fold. Several of their personnels had strength rivalling that of their demon leaders. Any rash action would make the demon races suffer a irreparable blow, and under present predicament, it would be no more than seeing death for themselves.
The spatial distortion was spotted within the bounds of six armed demonic hound territory, which was once ruled by the Farkan family. But had fallen under the chaos of the internal strife.
The foreign race had wiped out their race and disguised themselves from the eyes of the others as such and made it a perfect base for their field of operations.
If fate allows the demons to trump over them, then their future was secured. If not extermination of races by foreign powers would be only possible outcome left behind.
But the situation has not favoured Quinxie and he knew that fighting them head on would only be a suicidal act. But he was left with no other choice rather than sealing the distortion in the space immediately. The more he delay, the higher would be the chances for demons to become an extinct race, that is the numbers of enemy personnel entering would increase as time passes by and who knows it may become four fold, five fold or even tenfold.
Had he deployed his task force for battling them there would be a large scale resistance received from the foreign race. There has to be a leeway for demons to continue their populace and extend their linage, in case the plan fails.
The construction of safe houses, the mini realms or currently called by the name of the dungeons came into light. The time he was about to launch the large scale battle, waging war against them, the commoners and workers along with half the reserve forces, and few important of his retainers would be entering the safe house, guarding them from inside.
According to the information gathered by the scouts, Quinxie ordered the task force to attack the minor bases, belonging to the foreign races, surrounding the six armed demonic hound territory and gradually depleting the enemy strength.
It was an all out attack, and was aimed at sealing off the spatial distortion. The chaotic battle had shaken the core foundation of the world itself.
Quinxie along with his loyal retainers had barged deep into the enemy grounds, reached to the place where the spatial distortion was found, it was presented lying horizontally on the floor and more or less resembled an eye from the top.
They were surrounded by enemy on all sides and we're about to be killed by them. Standing next to the spatial distortion, encircling it with his retainers, he quinxie activated the core piece of the gigantic array, build by the specialist for a couple of years, aiming at sealing off the spatial abnormality.
Using the life force of the godly cultivation they amassed, he along with his retainers had fueled the array with their life essence. With many others demon race's leaders positioned few millions of miles away from the place within the set position, and the array was completed by then, making the foreign race helpless against their array.
The continent was not just divided randomly as a result of the battle between demons as told in folk tales in the main land, not was it divided in the battle between superpowers. It was resulted as an adverse effect from the forceful closure of the spatial distortion, which made the world chaotic and divided the large continent into minor islands, like the one mark was reincarnated into.
Though the only way of entry for the foreign race was destroyed, and in order to prevent themselves from being trapped forever the foreign race's experts had flee back into their world. Despite it an ample number of them were left behind, which could still be considered an enemy to the demon race, posing a threat to their survivability.
The linage of the demons were now preserved in the safe houses or dungeons. And to ensure that the foreign race's remnants would not extract their vengeance on their kin, after their seclusion since their life essence was dried up.
Quinxie had before hand made several of his inferior creations enter the fake safe houses and spreader them randomly through out the world.
Comparing with the number of original ones, the fake ones were listed out in millions, and would take several hundreds of millenniums for the foreign races, if they wished to search for real ones.
Though quinxie and others had expended their lifeforce till it was sucked dry. They only need to undergo a seclusion to regain the lost essence back.
They were called demon god's for a reason, with an nearly indestructible body, only the case when their soul was torn apart would they truly undergo a phenomenon called death.
The ones that stayed back at the perimeter of the massive array, near it's outer components, they had not truly expended their entire worth of life essence, but still maintained plenty of it to live for few hundred of years to go.
The foreign race that remained behind, though were not many, but still outnumbered the demon survivors.
Their purpose of arriving to the world was to get the valuable resources back to their competitive world. Since it has became non existent, they did not want to fight the remaining demons to death as it would not profit them any better, rather than a decrease in their numbers under the mutual destruction against the survivors.
The demons that present in the main land, at the present time line were the offspring born to these survivors. Their aptitude decreased as the generation passed by, after the world was split apart to bits the amount of mana present behind was not sufficient for then to break through to god level cultivation.
Other minor races of elves, giants and such caught up to them as generations passed by and finally became competent enough to content against them.
The demons in the dungeon had actually lay low for their leaders to finish recuperating, and regain their life essence back, after which they plan to unite the entire races as a whole under them, as they done previously few million years earlier.
According to farthur, their ancestors had only made a plain safe house filled with few inferior creatures in the lower floor as a disguise from external threats and upper floors were houses by the demons.
The first generation had sealed off all exist for the demons to step out and thus the later generations remained ignorant of the facts their ancestors made, and some of the history was even distorted from truth, and the existences of demon god's were masked from truth and became a religion.
Like Aphrolilith of succubus race, Nagaraja of lamia race who were used to be demon leaders in ancient times, were now worshipped by their later generations as god's and became a religion for their believers.
Their will left behind were made an a witness for their vows, since not many soul vows could be made at a time, the first generation people had planted the thought of taking a vow to a taboo in the hearts of later generation, and the truth was known to few selective people and passed along the next generation of eligible person and so on. Mark had also recieves this information after he was deemed to be eligible by farthur, who expects mark to pass on to next generation to go.
