Demon Lord Diaphthorá stood up from his throne and commanded his whole army and Demon Generals
"Today! We march to the last bastion of humanity. We'll send all of our forces and destroy all humans to rule the world!"
"RAAAAA!!!"
All demon soldier and Demon Generals shouted in unison
"The Goddess has abandoned this world and left the humans on their own, this is our victory!"
Diaphthorá raised his Denominating Staff of Ruin. The red crystal shone and bathed everyone in a soothing light that empowered them
"Now, onwards, to their Last Hope!"
All the Demon Generals lead their own armies and marched towards Last Hope at the other sjde of the world
The first Demon General to march is the Goblin Menace, a goblin that was granted power by Diaphthorá. The Goblin Menace possesses the ruthless power of being a savage, destroying everything in its path
The Goblin Menace leads the army of goblins that compose of hundreds and thousands of Goblin Lords and Goblin Kings. The total number of Hobgoblins and goblins is at least 100 million
The second Demon General is the Orc Disaster, an orc that has eaten a piece of the Disaster Set and gain the power of Gluttony. Demon Lord Diaphthorá claimed the Orc Disaster and gave every food to empower it
The Orc Disaster has the power to move and shake the tectonic plates of the world and eat anything that it wants, even the other Demon Generals. Diaphthorá gave a limiter on him to not betray him and the other Demon Generals, in exchange for supreme power
The third Demon General is the Tempest Hound that dominated the mountains, a hound that is capable of changing the weather by its will and launch the strongest of the winds
The Tempest Hound is the one who's responsible for the sheet of clouds that covered the entire world. In doing so, it changed the climate of the entire world and it's slowly devouring the sky of Last Hope that still has a hole
The Tempest Hound also commands 100 million Wind Hounds and other Demon Wolves in the world
The fourth Demon General is the Archdemon Blood, an solo archdemon that has complete control over all blood, a menace to everyone, even to Diaphthorá
The Archdemon Blood has sworn enternal loyalty to all Demon Lords and there is no way he would betray Diaphthorá. The Archdemon Blood is the greatest asset of Demon Lord Diaphthorá
The fifth Demon General is the Succubus Queen, Diaphthorá's mistress. She has the power to even seduce the Demon Lord, and possibly the Archdemon Blood
When she is successful in seducing a being, she will gain unimaginle strength and power, even if it's a being that has the lowest vitality
Currently, the Succubus Queen has one billion soldiers behind her back. She has the most number of soldiers in the Diaphthorá's army
The sixth Demon General is the Oceanic Serpent, the serpent that can wrap half of the circumference of the world. It has the command over the ocean and every bodies of water in the world
The Oceanic Serpent has the whole aquatic beings as its army and all of them has been demonized by the power of Diaphthorá. It's army has 700 million in count
The seventh Demon General is the Volcano Hydra Wyvern, born from the most violent volcano in the world that Diaphthorá created and a fusion between a three-headed hydra and a wyvern
The Volcano Hydra Wyvern rose as it's bathing in the bowl of magma and lava in the Disaster Volcano and it command the very crust of the world, including the Astenosphere
It commands the Demon Dragons, Demon Wyverns, Demon Drakes, Demon Hydra, and all types of dragonse existing in Saykrandae
The dragons were supposed to be the guardian of the human race but they were immediately raided by Diaphthorá and converted into demons. The first line of defense has been broken, even before the start of the war
The eight Demon General is the Ancient Dullahan, the most skillful and most masterful Demon General of Diaphthorá
The Ancient Dullahan is also the most tactical out of them all and he usually commands every army into a more tactical and strategical approach. Diaphthorá had no choice but to recognize him and gvie him more strength and power. He also removed the Ancient Dullahan's weakness on his head, gold, and water
The ninth Demon General is the Monarch Lich, a being that has control over the dead and has revived all of the people that died in all of history, including the first humans and demons
The Monarch Lich is supposed to be neutral being but Diaphthorá held the one he loved most hostage. Diaphthorá also got his heart and the Monarch Lich has no choice but to follow him and become a Demon General
Since the Monarch Lich has control over the dead since the creation of Saykrandae, he is the only one who can outnumber the Succubus Queen's army
The Monarch Lich is also undying and he can only die when his heart is destroyed. He is also the one responsible that most of the human settlements has fallen
Finally, the last and tenth Demon General is the Devil Titan, a devil's that different from a demon and has a height of one kilometer. A walking disaster, the despair of humanity, the harbinger of destruction, and the dawn of new age
The Devil Titan is Diaphthorá's experiment that became successful. It possesses strength stronger than the Demon Lord himself and moves normally with no slow motions
The Devil Titan itself commands an army of smaller titans with a height of 50 meters to 200 meters. They are the strongest army that Diaphthorá have and they will be behind the marching armies
"After I destroy Last Hope and kill every humans... That's where I will rule over the world. That's my first step in invading other worlds and taking over the galaxy"
Diaphthorá muttered to himself after his castle became empty as his entire army marched towards Last Hope like a swarm of bees that is sweeping around the world in a form of a shockwave
He then started to move. He hovered in the air and flew at the sky, just under the clouds. He watched his armies marching forth with his enhanced eyesight. It will be about an hour before these armies arrive and swarm the Last Hope and completely dominate them
He is also confident in fighting the Legendary Warrior because his power is constantly increasing and Polem's power is decreasing
He smiled sinisterly and followed his main army slowly from the back. His expression then became serious because his staff is vibrating uncontrollably and very strangely
But that doesn't stop him from invading the human settlement and he kept continuing
~~~
Meanwhile, at the last human settlement, Last Hope, Polem stood in front of the last humans at the podium in front of the castle. She is in the presence of King Porti, First Princess Corleona, and Second Princess Clara, who are above the balcony of the castle
King Porti is very old and his hair is white but his face is full of vitality. He wears a dignified crown and he hold the King's Sword. He rules the entire kingdom where the Last Hope is situated
First Princess Corleona is a warrior and a Master Swordsman. His main weapon is a rapier called Sacred Mana Rapier that has been baptized in the Sacred Lake before it was tainted by Diaphthorá. She is a Rapier Grandmaster, a unique weapon mastery as she is very well versed in rapier
She wears the Frills Armor that protects most of her limbs, waist, chest, and neck. She also has the Sacred Mana Amulet that provides her power in her rapier. Her long hair is silver in color and her age is 26
First Princess Corleona is supposed to be the next in line to become the king. She refused because she didn't see any purpose in becoming one since they will be overwhelmed by the Demon Lord Army. She instead chose to be a warrior to protect her younger sister, the second princess, and help her in becoming a better person and leader
Second Princess Clara is the next in line for the throne. She accepted it because she felt bad for her father since he's very old. Polem have her one of her Disaster Set, the Disaster Amulet, to protect her from extreme danger because she's very close friends with her. Polem would risk her life to save her, evn First Princess Corleona herself
She also has the ability of Vitality Enhancer and that's the reason why King Porti has so much vitality, including all of the human army and the warriors protecting Last Hope
She also has the Proto-Gauntlet of Magic Transference that the Blacksmith King has forged when he was still living. The gauntlet has the power to collect magic in the surroundings and release a more powerful magic around her or in a direction. The gauntlet is only one piece and it fits her left hand with sharp edges and several segments past her wrist and into her arm
The general of the human army, named Braudain, a Polearm King, is standing guard behind the royal family while they are watching Polem's speech and the entire human army, strong one million in count
Braudain also has the Gauntlets of Reaching that the Blacksmith King has forged. It allows him to reach further distances with his polearm and compensate for longer ranges. He also has a Stun Baton that he can use when an enemy gets too close for comfort
Everybody then quieted down as Polem walked towards the podium where she could speak
"Humans of Saykrandae! Today, might be our final day. Demon Lord Diaphthorá's army is marching to our Last Hope as we speak. We either surrender and accept our fate or we fight until our death!"
Polem spoke with strength in her voice that everyone in front of her can hear her. She also boasts beauty that is comparable to Second Princess Clara and every men and soldiers are entranced by her
She wears a yellow orange armor with gold linings called the Disaster Armor and she also wears a helmet that covers most of her head and her cheeks. The helmet is called the Helmet of Supreme Valor that gives her unimaginable courage during conflicts. Her golden silver hair fluttered from the cold wind behind her
The sword in her hand is also yellow orange in color and the blade is golden in color. The sword glitters and hum slightly while the glowing light pulsates across the blade
"Let's face reality... Against Diaphthorá's entire army, we have no chance winning this war. Therefore, my companions will hold most of the Demon Generals and I will directly face the Demon Lord"
As Polem mentioned her companions, five individuals came behind her and stood with melancholic and solemn faces. They were not smiling and waving to the human army and civilians, they only have expressionless faces and they are unleashing their own auras
The first companion is a man named Lenard and he is a Spear Grandmaster. He has a black spear with blue linings across the surface of of the blade and the stem. The blade has a jagged design and the stem is constantly spinning. The spear also has a vine swirling around the stem without touching it. The spear has a mist and vapor surrounding the spear and the spear is called the Jet Spear
The second companion is a woman named Povia and she is a Legendary Archer. She has no equipped bow on her body but she can control mana around her to create a bow on her arm. She also uses mana to create different kinds of arrows and use it however she can. She is called the Arrow of Hope the last humans
The third companion is a being named Dantall. He is a demi-giant, a hybrid of a giant and a human. He has a height of 20 meters and the muscles across his body are bulging, almost as if his skin is impenetrable. He has an ability called Berserker Force which allows him to gain maximum power and strength to decimate anything on his path. He will also have hyper regenaration capabilities that will always dave him from near death
The fourth companion is a young girl named Cleo and she is an Astral Mage. She can manifest the power of the stars and she is the only human who can passively fly. She is also one of the most powerful human in Last Hope and she has a lighter expression compared to the rest. She hovered in the sky and flew around to at least give humanity a shred of hope just from her presence. She looked 18 but she's 500 years old. She wears a cape that has several extensions that almost has a mind of its own
Finally, the fifth companion is an old man named Gorde and he is an Archmage. He's an Archmage since the first king of the largest kingdom that has been recently destroyed and overtaken. He is of 2000 years of age and he has unlocked most magic in history. He wears white robes and a white wizard hat. His long white luscious hair and beard waves ever so slightly and his eyes are glowing with white light. He holds a white staff that's contained a blue magic orb
"Even if we get overwhelmed by our enemies, we fight until our death to protect our loved ones, our family, and our friends! There's no running back into and we have no refuge elsewhere. We fight or die! May Goddess Sai give us guidance and her blessing!"
Polem shouted with her might and raised the Disaster Sword above her head in triumph to give the human army a sliver of hope
She didn't know why she raised the Disaster Sword when she already knew that Sai has abandoned them and as they speak, the Disaster Sword is losing its power because Sai is not around
It was then that a loud alarm rang through the entire Last Hope. Polem was surprised and the companions became agitated. The human army also became confused
"They came this early?!"
Polem muttered to herself. King Porti stood up and went inside his quarters. Corleona and Braudin guided Clara back into the castle to protect her. Several seconds later, Corleona and Braudin exited the castel to join the companions
Then, several soldiers came towards Polem in every direction
"A massive army of goblins has arrived at he west wing of Last Hope!"
"The Orc Disaster and the hounds has been spotted at the south wing of Last Hope!"
"The Tempest Hound was just seen flying over the clouds along the goblin army!"
"Hundreds of millions of crazed and seduced demons along with the Succubus Queen are seen on standby at the north wing of Last Hope!"
"A giant body of water is rushing across the grand canyon on the east side of Last Hope! This is suspected to be the Oceanic Serpent along with its aquatic army!"
"The dragons are on the way!!!!!"
"The undead has surrounded us in every direction! The Monarch Lich is flying in the sky!"
"Titan are also coming from the east side!!!!!"
Polem, Corleona, Braudain, and the companions frowned from the flood of news that came to them. The human army is still on standby
"So, he sent his entire army to destroy us, huh..."
Polem muttered which made everyone else in sorrow. The others also couldn't help but turn their heads down as they were losing hope
It was then that the thick thundering clouds and gusts of winds disappeared around the entire planet. Light from the Sola star has penetrated the skies and light up Saykrandae
Polem and everyone were shocked, even Diaphthorá and the Demon Generals. The Tempest Hound fell from the sky and crashed on the ground without explanation
Polem then jolted and looked at the Disaster Sword. She could feel that the sword was being filled with power and energy. It was at this time that Polem's face lit up
"Everyone! All soldier will stay inside Last Hope! Defend every humans from demons and monsters that has slipped past the walls! There's no need to sacrifice yourselves in a losing battle! I, Polem, and my companions will deal with the Demon Lord and Demon Generals! Goddess Sai is in our side! Let's move immediately!"
Polem shouted wirh strength and vitality. Her companions were surprised but they immediately understood why Polem became energetic once more
Without communicating, they know what to do and Gorde teleported each and every one of them, except Polem, to their positions, according to the soldiers' reports
Corleona was teleported next to Clara, with King Porti and a personal maid named Viz, whilr Braudain is teleported to the west wing to face the goblin army and possibly the Tempest Hound alone
He has a good chance against this battle because he is a Polearm King
Lenard and Povia were teleported to the south side to face the Orc Disaster and several demon wolves and hounds. They may be able to win with their combined tactics of a spear and bow, melee and range
Dantall was teleported to the north wing to face the Succubus Queen. He has a better chance against the crazed demons with his strength and height. He might also won't grt seduced since he's a berserker because his mind will become unstable
Cleo and Gorde teleported to the east wing because with their combined power of the stars and ancient magic knowledge, they might be able to take down the combined forces of the Oceanic Serpent and the Devil Titan
Against the dragons, everyone is on their own and they could only hope that some of them can take one down. They also have to watch out for the undead since they'll be undying and they'll fight for literally forever
Meanwhile, Polem flew to the sky and faced a specific direction. Her Disaster Sword glowed brightly, along with her Disaster Armor
She was facing Diaphthorá, who was several hundred kilometers away. Diaphthorá didn't back down from her challenge and also faced her
A vision of Diaphthorá's eyes appeardd in Polem's vision, signifying that she's being watched by him
A few moments later, all forces from both sides engaged and rushed into their own individual battles
This is the start of the Great Extinction War. Whoever lost the war, will have their races go extinct. Only one race will rule Saykrandae after this day
