Chapter 278 - Chapter 278: War Of Nations III

[Demon Continent, near Demon king's Castle]

As the cold wind swept by the barren field separating the alliance and the Demon army, the former however could be seen sending patrolling team to survey the surroundings

Sometimes bored to death as usual Elijah would somehow sneak into the group and help keeping lookout

At first the soldiers were shocked to see a hero doing something like this, but moments later due to Elijah's friendliness he somehow managed to make befriend such soldiers

Of course at most he wanted to be alone as he sit on a small hill observing the barren field, the red sky, and the black castle at the end of the field

As he observed such sight he suddenly felt a presence walking up from behind him

"Your here? Well that wasn't hard at all" said Queen Vivian his mother

"Mother... "

"What's wrong? Is something bothering you? Atleast tell me about it" urged Queen Vivian as she sits beside her own son

After seeing his mother sitting beside him, Elijah then once again glanced at the black castle from afar as he then heaved a sigh

"Well... Mother! Have you ever expected that in your generation as leader of the elves, you would go into war?" Asked Elijah

"Hmm? I don't know but I'm pretty sure every ruler has experienced war, even thought small and not like ours" answered  Queen Vivian

"Well now that I thought about it, I think my new self is overlapping my old self" said Elijah in a joking manner

"And what do you mean by that?" Asked Queen Vivian

"Nothing much but me getting used to fighting is something unnattainable to me in the past"

"Huh?"

"!!!"

At that moment Elijah felt like he almost spilled the beans of being an otherworlder to his mother, thus causing him to close his mouth

Seeing him acting like that Queen Vivian then let go of such an act and returned the atmosphere between the two of them as they observed the plain

"Hey Elijah"

"Yes mother?"

"What do you say?" Asked Queen Vivian

Confused on what she was asking Elijah then returned that question with another question

"What do you mean?" He asked

"What I... No I mean is that how about travelling the world after this war? She asked again

Hearing that Elijah seemed a bit overjoyed as he smiled back at her and happily said

"Sure thing mom"

With that both the mother and son seemed to have felt relaxed despite the situation as they laughed together in their own bonding

Far from them Horus seemed to be observing both the Queen and the Hero as they laughed, causing Horus to smile towards such warm scene

After seeing that he then remembered Cara, the only distant relative that had managed to find him after travelling far and wide

Looking at his palm that has wrinkles all over it, Horus then gave a heavy sighed as he  murmured to himself

"Is it time for me to pass everything to her? I'm tired, too tired to be exact... How many years have I spent exactly... I want to rest"

After sighing he then suddenly felt a flunctuation of a huge Mana force from far beyond the plain causing him to become serious in just a few moments

Of course due to this flunctuation, not only him but several more people in that alliance suddenly felt the change in the Mana strolling around the area

Unknown to them due to the pressure of being cornered the Demon's have finally hit their limit as the Demon king raised his hand and started casting a very huge magic circle

In an instant the temperature around them suddenly dropped as mana surged toward the magic circle created by the Demon king

Sensing danger Horus then started making his own defensive measures to counter such dangerous attack

Of course due to this Raguel  immediately went out of his tent and shot off the sky towards Horus, same went for Alduin as he begun spreading his microbots around the army

Seeing that the heroes were on the move King Emperor Ergo immediately shouted

"Formation! Move to your formation!!! Enemy! Attack relay the message"

Understanding his method the soldier immediately shouted followed by the other chained shouts

"Enemy attack!"

"Enemy attack!"

"Enemy attack!"

...

.....

Soon the whole camp rose to their feat as they begun assembling the formation

Of course Elijah also sensed Horus aura as he immediately moved together with Queen Vivian in alarm near him

"Horus! What's wrong!"

"Shut for a moment brat! Looks like this era's Demon King can't take the pressure any longer thus igniting the final battle at such a critical point" said Horus as he continued forming his magic circle

From afar quiet opposite of them intense heat suddenly surged towards the magic circle's center causing friction to produce electricity current to travel arose and it's energy

Beside the Demon king who was casting the spell, both Belial and Asuto were gaurding him

With a thought the Demon King shot off the the magic that he was condensing at an incredible power

"Inferno!"

Like a beam a huge flame blast travelled toward the alliance camp this burning everything it passes

Seeing such an attack Horus then threw out his spell infront of the camp

"Absolute defense!"

Soon two opposing forces collided causing a huge burst of flame to engulf the area around Horus, Elijah, and Queen Vivian

Soon after a dazzling light cuts through the flame as a slash came crashing down and dispersed the flames that became the result of defending it

In an imposing manner Raguel soon shot down Infront of them and cuts open the flame spell of the Demon King

"I didn't expect that the demon king would actually land the first hit" complained Raguel as this attack was not he expected at all

Back in the Demon king's Castle, after sending the attack and seeing it failed to decimate the enemy, he then turned around and left the area to both Belial and Asuto as he himself returned to his throne

With that huge attack distracting the whole army's camp, Larval on the other hand successfully had formed a teleportation magic circle on the surface ground, under everyone's panicked situation

Soon a bright light engulfed the whole battlefield causing Raguel's demeanor to trim grim

"Teleportation magic? When did they..." But before he could say anything, he suddenly remembered the previous attack

"What sly bastards... They actually uses such high class magic as a distraction"

Soon the alliance army had completed their formation as Alduin informed everyone to become alert as he too felt grim from the bright light that engulfed the whole battlefield

Riding on his horse after putting up an armor around himself, king Emperor Ergo then headed out infront of the army together with some of the remaining Royal Knight's

Seeing the bright light Seijurn, Hannah, and Roberto felt suffocated from the pressure that the enemy is putting in there

Far from them Alduin was assorting the Beastman army together with Xyrus, all of them were tensed due to the sudden attack thus they formed this formation in haste, afraid that the enemy might attacked them before they could do anything

Seeing such a scene

Queen Vivian immediately called the Elven army over and formed their formation as Elijah checked his current statue through his system interface and looked towards the horizon

"It's finally happening" he murmured

********

Up above the plain on a near edge of the cliff, Kaido could see what's happening below the surface as his aura was still kept concealed through Aileene's magic

Thanks to it he could watch what was going to unfold

Beside him the other guys also sits near him as Aileene's occupied the right and Fengris occupied the left followed by Argos

From behind them Seralyn and Marxcus was also watching the scene below together with their other confidants with grim expression

"Looks like those mutts have finally started fighting each other after few days of stalling" said Kaido

"I know right? I was hella bored just by waiting" complained Fengris

Not glancing at him Kaido then said

"True... I even consider causing trouble down below, but looks like someone instigated this... I really have to thank him or her"

With that Argos asked

"So are we going to just watch?"

"We will watch first before joining in" replied Kaido

Hearing that Argos returned to being silent as Aileene felt excited all over

From behind them Seralyn could be seen having a wry smile plastered on her face as he felt like the four people infront of her has no sense for danger at all

*********

With the tension in the air a multiple roar erupted as the light shine bright due to it's complete casting and soon a pillar of light shot out towards the sky as it suddenly compressed into a white pillar with a size of a huge theater and formed a circle at the center of the battlefield

As if answering their questions hybrid Demon's then begun to swarm out of the white pillar as they roared and charged towards the alliance

Seeing such creatures the humans and Raguel seemed to have seen such creatures back at Screa Port City but also has slight difference

Seeing the hybrid army of Larval swarming out of the pillar of white light, Hepta soon received a confirmation from Larval himself that the his monsters have been instructed to only attack the alliance army and not the Demon king's army

Receiving such confirmation

She soon ordered for the gates to open as she raised her halberd and shouted

"Destroy them all! Charge!"

"Charge!!!!"

"Charge!!! For the Demon king"

"For the Demon king"

Just like Larval's monsters of hybrid Demon that were charging at the forefront like wild beast, the Demon king's army too swarmed out of the castle gates and unto the field thus almost filling the field with thousands of black moving figures

Seeing such an overwhelming difference in numbers, for the first time in a long while the alliance army felt weak and we're mostly afraid of such an army, after all some of the soldiers here were attacking for fame and merits not for their races existence at all

Seeing the hybrid Demon at the front and the Demon king's army at the back, Raguel felt excited all over as this reminded him of the past war

Taking initiative Xyrus on the Beastman side started casting a huge area spell as Elijah started gathering vast amount of Mana unto the tip of his arrow churning it aflame

With a thought Xyrus then casted his spell

"Freezing Land!"

With a slam of his palm unto the ground, ice started to erupt from his spot and spreads out towards the waves of hybrid Demon's, thus restraining their movements into an ice hold

At that timing Elijah fired off his new spell that he just have learned from the system

"Phoenix descent"

Firing off his arrow up to the sky, soon after it was fired, it suddenly changed form as it engulfed itself with flames turning it into a conjured flame Phoenix flying across the sky

Soon it suddenly made a side turn and dove Right unto the frozen hybrid Demon's and travelled horizontally creating a huge pit of fire wall between the alliance and the hybrid Demon's

As the fire rose up burning some of the frozen hybrid Demon's, they soon found out that such an attack wasn't as effective as they thought it would be

Soon after the demons broke free of the ice and continued to ran up to the alliance army while burning as if such instense fire wasnt bothering them, thus shocking the crowd

Behind them some hybrid demons even broke through the fire wall and continued to charge forward

Seeing this Raguel shouted an alarm

"Magic resistance! They have magic resistance!"

Hearing him King Emperor Ergo then gave an order

"Warrior's! Soldiers! Vanguard! Guardians! adventurers! To the front take this Demon's down!"

Taking the initiative Alduin then led some close combat soldiers of his to attack the hybrid demons that have high magic resistance since only through cold weapons could such creatures be killed

Cause of that bedlam broke loose at the alliance army since they were taken by surprise by the attacks

Far from the battlefield much farther behind the alliance army, a mid size teleportation circle suddenly emerge as few figures showed up

Soon after Ingrid and the other who came with her had finally arrived and had returned to the Demon Continent

With a single word she soon directed them

"Let's go!"
