Chapter 247 - Chapter 247: Situation At The Forefront

[Dark Forest, Demon Continent]

As the war rages on, the army of Beastmen chases the Demon's further inside their territory and since elves are allied with this army of brute warrior's, they in turn sent 100 combat archers together with the elven hero Elijah to Alduin's army

Along the checkpoint Elijah could see the army of Beastmen completely routing and overpowering this bunch of demons that consisted of the Demon's, orcs, hobgoblins, minotaurs, ogre

With the new combat suite that Alduin provided, the efficiency of the battle prowess of one Beastman will completely enhanced even if it worn under the cover of the armor

For a moment Alduin gave up on giving modern weapons towards its soldiers since it will be a waste on them and it might cause a breakthrough for the enemy if they were able to crack its structures and study it

Thus he left the weapons only for himself, while remunerating them with combat suites and a serum that could improve their fighting ability to a monstrous level

When one Beastman ripped apart a orc with it's barehands, Elijah couldn't help but gulp his saliva due to seeing the brutality of the Beastmen Warrior's, not only that but even the mages as they rained down at the entrance of the dark Forest

Seeing his expression alongside the expression of the other elves, Alduin couldn't help but chuckle as he approached them

"Liking what you see? Or surprised?" He asked

"I... I... I'm at loss for words... I knew Beastmen were a brute of warrior's but I never thought that they would be this brute" said Elijah as he wipes the sweat off his face

"Hahaha! Many things happened for the past 7 months, our advances are really good though... If we continue unto this pace, we may be able to push through in 1month to its final battle with the demon king... . . By then everyone would go all out" stated Alduin

"Ye... Yeah! If that happens then our mission of stopping the Demon king by killing him, will be fulfilled" agreed Elijah

As they were talking Xyrus immediately cuts in as he added his words

"And after that I may be able to have my own vacation without Hero Alduin-sama at all" he stated

"Huh? You don't like being with me?" Asked Alduin with a completely shock expression

"Frankly yes! If I stay with you any longer, I feel like my sanity might drop again... After all Hero's are people that are out of common Sense" stated Xyrus

Elijah really wanted to talk out, but his words got stuck on his throat as he thought about Xyrus words and contemplated it as a fact, so he couldn't help but just watch to the side and give a wry smile on their conversation

At that moment a Beastmen soldier adruptly came towards Alduin as he reported

"Reporting! We have pushed the enemy to their last line of defense! What are your orders?"

Hearing that Alduin arched up Ina smile as he said

"Alright gather up the men for a one whole swoop, were going to kill the general of this army and take it's head"

"Understood!"

With that the soldier left and upon it's departure, Alduin quickly instructed Elijah

"Alright! There's a possibility that the enemy might escape through a certain route, so I want you and your 100 elves to station on this ridge and provide sight, cover fire, and support shots"

"I can do that much" replied Elijah

Hearing that Alduin simply have him a nod before going to the assembly place to rally up the soldiers, he was followed by Xyrus who intended to explain the plan to them

As for Elijah the moment he saw Alduin giving him a glance, he simply gritted his teeth as he instructed his men to move out

Fortunately his men knew that Elijah was only putting up a fake front as he suppressed his desire to kill Alduin due to him being one of the reason why Sui's mother was dead

Along side Raguel he putted them into his blacklist of hated people cause of them putting his only friend to sorrow and misery when they met

Of course since Sui was well known among the elven nation, the majority of the elves completely sympathize with Sui thus they also held it in when they are infront of the people who was responsible for everything that she suffered

"Hero-dono!" Called out one of the elven Archer

"Huh? Ehehehe! Sorry about that..." Said Elijah

"Don't worry we completely understand you, we are all the same, we would have wanted to beat that guy to death but he's a hero after all and an ally for this war, so we just have to endure till this is over" said the elven Archer talking to him

"Thanks!"

"No problem"

With that Elijah slapped both of his side cheeks to completely snapped him out of his sour mood and focus at the mission at hand

With a single command Elijah disappeared inside the forest together with the hundred elves

Upon seeing their departure, both Xyrus and Alduin gave them a sideway glance before the former sighed

"They finally left" said Xyrus

"I know... And it was kinda... Hollow... It felt like we're missing something out of this" pondered Alduin

"Well at least a brawl did break out" said Xyrus

"True! And here I thought they would pounce on us due to reasons unknown, well atleast they held they're urge to lash out inside themselves... They're quite... Commendable" praised Alduin as he gave a nod

Seeing that Xyrus simply nodded In Agreement as the soldiers begun forming up numbering up to 500 beastmen soldiers which some wore the battle suites while the majority of them were using the serum

Of course they're were also crazy ones that has a suite but also has the serum in them

Seeing this Alduin nodded as he waved out his arm and stepped into the dark Forest slowly but surely

**********

On the other hand the camp of the demons we're in full of rowdiness as they became frantic upon learning that they were back into a corner, what's worse was that they were in their home ground

As the remaining captains spoke up they're opinions, the general who seemed to be a huge bodied Demon's with horns arching upwards and having a sinister look, slammed his hands unto the table as he shouted out in frustration

"Damn it!!! We're backed into a corner by a mere skinny men and a bunch of fur balls" shouted by the Demon General

With his rampage the other captains simply stood there a dazed as they too don't know what to do anymore in this kind of situation wherein they are at a complete disadvantage even though they were in their home ground

"That damned woman! How could she left her position and disappeared elsewhere? She!!!! She doesn't deserve her position as a vassal Lord's" complained by the Demon General

If analyzed it was completely apparent that the general was complaining against Hepta due to her leaving the frontlines with no reason at all

This in turn glared his anger as he begun thrashing everything he sees

As the morale of the demons kept plummetting, the Beastmen and the Elves on the other hand managed to position themselves with the former at the forefront while the latter was at the ridge

First of all Elijah and his group was situated to attack first, with that the captain in their group commanded the Elves to position themselves along the ridges and aim

With a single command the Elves started to apply Mana unto their arrows to make it into even more deadlier weapon

"Fire!"

At that command the hundred elves fired off their Mana infused arrows as they can in like rain above the Demon's camp

At first the Demon's were confused about that whistling sound when suddenly they got rained down by arrows that explodes upon contact to the enemy of ground causing turmoil and panic to spread into their camp

Obviously the various captains and the demon general sensed this looming aura Thus rushed outside to meet it

The moment they did so an arrow crashed upon them thus riddling one of the captains with holes after being rained down by the other following arrows

Quickly they immediately held up their hand to put up a barrier as the General tried to locate the direction on which the arrows were shot

Back on Elijah side the Elves were preparing for the second volley and the third while infusing their arrows with exploding Mana

"Fire! Fire!"

As this was shouted all of the elves released their arrows twice this sending another rain towards the enemy's camp

Seeing this more and more casualties arose from the Demon's camp as they felt helpless from this volley

With it's pupil contracting into a sharp stare the Demon General casted a spell that completely countered the minority of the volleys to explode midair

"Storm Gale!!!"

With that countless explosions exploded midair as shockwaves slammed against them

This In turn stunned the Beastmen as they witnessed the Elves way of attacking their enemy

They couldn't even believe that at this time they felt hopeless when faced with this non-ending volley, this in turn out a smile on Alduin's face as if he's seeing a beautiful strategy being played out

"Elves accuracy with the bows never ceases to amaze me" he commented

"Well they were like born with the ability to world bows" added Xyrus as he felt dread looming on the volley

As they were speaking the Demon general finally figured out the direction of the attack, this he instructed the magic able of their army to fire off in that particular ridge as he prepared to fire off a spell himself

"Demon flames!!!"

As he shot that out, the Elves on the other hand got behind cover as they gritted their teeth to hide from the blast range of the attack, after that they rose up again and started firing off

"Open fire!"

With that command the Elves begun firing nonstop towards the enemy, causing series of magically infused arrows and enemy spells to explode or bypass each other causing a long ranged battle

As for Elijah he stood atop of one tree in particular and started bursting out his aura which seemed to envelope the whole ridge

Soon after he heard zavkiel his systems voice ringing out in his ear

******

Power infused (40%)

Activating enhancement protocol

Activating strengthening protocol

High accuracy activated

Host luck activated

******

As his aura begun to surge upon the system's support on his power, he then started to chant as magic scribbles and magic circles started to look over his arrow

This in turn raised the attention of everyone including the Demon General and Alduin as they sensed an attack which seemed out of this world

The oppressive aura coming from Elijah soon exudes out of him as his Mana color suddenly turned red and started enveloping his body like a mist

As his eyes flicker Elijah called out it's name

"Bolt Streak!!!"

As he released his grip the ground beneath his feet exploded as it blew the elves away this making them stumble backward due to it's force as the arrow zoomed straight to the enemy's side in a speed of Mach 20

Due to it's speed the Demon's had no way to dodge such attack as it instantly in a single blink blown half of their camp away without leaving any survivors in the midst of its crash

Followed by that a huge dome like explosion rung out as it enveloped half of the camp and burned everything near it

This in turn silence everything in the Demon's camp, while this served as a signal for Alduin's troops to go in and deal with the remaining Demon's

Soon after the roars of the beast charged forth as they plunged into the enemy's half blown camp and made their own killing

As for the Elves they somehow glanced at the back of Elijah as if they're seeing someone waking up from the legends

Due to his sudden rise in power, Elijah body somehow turned mature as his stature and behaviour seemed like an adult with his squinted eyes that observed everything

With his blonde hair turning white due to it's various system activation, he somehow felt power rising through his veins

As he was reminiscing this an out cry of death suddenly rung out at the far side of their position, this bringing everyone's attention to that area

In their they saw 10 elves laying dead on the ground as there was a sole enemy amidst the body of the corpses

"And you must be the Elven Hero Elijah I presume..."

"And you are?" Asked Elijah in a sharp tone

"My name's Hepta one of the vassals of the Demon king, I'm here to take your head"

Hearing that the elves begun surrounding Elijah as they swore to protect the hero from being killed

After seeing that and hearing their curses Hepta also heard Elijah scowl

"It won't be that easy to kill me"

In reply she smiled as she said

"I wasn't asking..."

With a crack she immediately threw a two crystal unto the ground which flowed and released all of the hybrid demons that Larval has stocked inside causing rampaging hybrid Demon's to appear

With a thought the Demon's made their move to kill the Heroes
