Chapter 33 - Attacking

Durotan, the demon who was in command of the attack, had momentarily ceased the massacre of all humans and decided to target other areas where resistance should be weaker than here. Surprise attacks served as his strategy, which is what he was doing.

At the same time this decision was made, Damian had been leading around thirty targets, following Colonel Martin towards the mountains.

Lieutenant Colonel Marvin is a scout directly subordinate to the main legion and can receive military information in all aspects.

As news was gathered, Damian received more and more information and gradually discovered the overall situation of the war.

In this war, demons had launched a massive attack across the entire north in the five possible directions to attack. The war was spreading everywhere, and it was unclear what the objectives of these enemies were. The demons' attack range is very large, covering a very wide area with a length of three thousand kilometers, and demons could be found everywhere.

Almost every city in the north had been attacked by demons.

The demon army that entered the Northern Kingdom split into three directions and formed three front armies.

The northwest front invaded demon lands and covered them from the mountains beyond the mountain range, massacring more than a dozen fortresses and killing five barons who were extremely powerful.

The main human First Legion headed towards that battlefront, and nearby Dukes had already sent their main forces to assist in the battle. Over 45,000 deaths were confirmed on the Northwest battlefield.

To the northwest, several legions of Orcs crossed the forests and entered human territories, but so far they had not broken through the human defense lines, and the battle was at a stalemate.

The Bear Warriors Baron's legion was stationed not far from the battle zone, thus managing to repel demon attacks but with monstrous casualties to the point where human territory was steadily lost.

The human coalition armies in the east formed a strong front facing the demons that had deployed to that area; all the areas covering up to the southwest tried to repel demon attacks.

But the demons had made great strides towards the main cities.

After breaking through the defense line at the foot of the Southwest Mountain Range, a river was serving as a channel to repel the enemies.

But the dragons were currently causing a lot of trouble; these monsters attacked human fortresses due to the movement of nearby areas, and the humans suffered greatly from this.

The kingdom's knight academy in the north had mobilized completely to train recruits, launching a great battle against the demons that left hundreds of thousands dead across the territory.

The human legion, in this case, the third main army in the north, was fighting in the east, preventing the demons from entering by sea into unprotected human territories.

This time the battle had been divided into three major directions, covering the entire north; the battle was not just in the north, where Damian was fighting against a large demon force that kept advancing.

From what was known, the enemy army was divided into three major groups: demons, orcs, and wild monsters who had been forced to fight in this war.

In the direction of the Etwas Mountains, the demon advance group had underestimated the humans' counterattack, and when they cut off the resource path, both Damian in the rear as well as Baron Harden launched a counterattack, thus repelling the demons.

In the ensuing siege, the orc army that had been practically abandoned by the demons managed to kill more than 25,000 orcs and numerous demons.

Numerous important demons were killed with powerful spells; lessons had been learned from numerous lost battles, and at least they were able to hold out until reinforcements arrived. When the breaking point was reached, supplies arrived, and more than two thousand warriors changed the course of the battle.

At the critical moment when Harden continued his efforts, the demons had prepared a counterattack to exterminate the eighth brigade, but unexpectedly, Erwin led a cavalry unit called the demon exterminators, and together with Harden, they exterminated the remaining demons.

The seventh Brigade had arrived to provide support; they were responsible for evacuating all villages to the main cities and arrived from another surprise attack point, thus surprising the enemy.

But at this point, the demons arrived and exterminated more than half of Harden's cavalry. Erwin gave the signal to retreat, and as everyone retreated, defenses were deployed.

By the time Damian arrived on the battlefield, he unleashed powerful chain spells that restrained the enemy, killing a few, and at that moment, a powerful counterattack occurred.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

"I need more reinforcements in this area!"

Damian focused on casting high-stakes spells to damage the enemy in their rear ranks; he achieved very good attacks, but human casualties were also disastrous.

"Watch out!"

When Damian felt a great magical energy approaching from the sky, he looked into the distance and saw a figure floating, and at that moment, he frowned when he saw numerous ice spears.

Previously, he had found many of his spells among the demon's belongings, which he could decipher, and discovered half of a flying spell, so now he could levitate in the air.

Rising in the air, Damian knew that those powerful enemy attacks were aimed at the cavalry; in that case, he needed to repel the attack.

He had to cause double the required damage.

But just when everything was going well, he felt that many arrows were directed in his direction. Looking down and looking at Luke, he ordered, "Cover me; I'll take care of the aerial attack."

Damian had no time to lose, so immediately a huge rune began to release thunder that completely surrounded him. This time, he had removed the black bandage from his eyes and could freely see the type of magic descending from the sky.

After knowing how many attacks were descending, the amount of magical power flowing in and out of his body was constant, and his runes reached a strange balance. At this moment, as long as Damian operated magical power according to the established magical runes and did not release it quickly, he could overcome the impending attack.

But now, magical power is automatically transmitted to Damian's head, as if there were some extreme power to attract magical power there.

Boom!!!

When the lightning struck against the numerous attacks descending from the sky, everything else disappeared for Damian, and his eyes shone with an intense color of magic.

Even Damian himself tried to stop this abnormal transfer of power but failed.

After freeing himself from the mysterious sensation of barely opening the door of his body, Damian discovered that suddenly his magic seemed to have evolved.

"I'll finish you off before I retreat!" Damian whispered this as lightning and thunder roared powerfully over the skies.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The lightning moved like hybrids across the sky surrounding that demon, who waved his hand to get rid of the thunder, but this was impossible.

In an instant, a large amount of magical power, wrapped in lightning, caused several thunders to descend from the sky like destructive lords hitting forcefully on the demon.

Suddenly, he saw the color of the world in front of him fade away, turning into a sepulchral silence of black and white.

"He can't take it anymore!" Luke was diverting attacks that were headed towards Damian, but at that moment,, one hit him.

Boom!

Damian staggered in the air, but his hands clasping the air caused the lightning to surround the demon's body.

"Ahhhhhh!"
