Chapter 111: Magicians Vs. Demons Part 5

Darkness looms on the very center of the Phantasmal Reality as countless demons and demonic beasts are gathered in a chasm so deep that anyone who will stare on the bottomless pit will also think that they are also being stared at by something.

"5 more hours and Shadow-sama's resurrection will be completed. Any interruption will not be permitted. His resurrection is the utmost importance in this situation," a demon that is very ugly and similar looking to a fat ugly bastard said as he keeps his hands up in the air while standing at the very edge of the chasm.

"I have sent the three high ranked demons to deal with the magicians trying to stop the resurrection of Shadow-sama. I am quite sure that they will return victorious from them," a demon with a very long nose said as he patted his chest proudly.

"Pfft, you are surely underestimating those humans. Do you think that trio you sent can even leave a single scratch to those humans? Sure they might be able to kill a few of them but I am not sure if they can even wipe them out, heck, they can only kill the weakest of the weakest humans out there I guess," the female demon that Voltaire and Kazuma fought before said as she rests atop a dead tree's branch.

"What do you even know of my subordinates? They are the three strongest in my troops. I don't think they will be defeated easily. They will be able to wipe out a few armies all by themselves if you allow them to do so."

"A'ight, suit yourself mate, but don't be surprised if they are dead. Just remind yourself that they might be dead right now."

"Do you want to die?" the long-nosed guy showed his demonic fangs and scissor-like hands.

"Did you really think I will be afraid of your petty abilities?!" the woman snarled at him.

"Enough. We should keep it civilized. We are all allies, not enemies. Don't be too harsh on each other and try to get along," the guy in Changshan said.

Then, one of the scout bats, a creature specialized in recon appeared before the demon in Changshan and gives out a report.

"Reporting. The humans who breached are now advancing. The three demon officials alongside the thousands of demons that accompanied them are annihilated by the humans. The demons also did not manage to kill a single human. The three demon official was killed at the very beginning of the battle without a chance to retaliate."

When the long nose demon heard this, he was too shocked to even say anything. The female demon grinned and snickered.

"See that? Those puny demons of yours did not even get to show off their powers. And you were bragging about them? Quite a bullsh*t you got there. To only see quite a weakling, hahaha, now you see what I am talking about? The so-called elite team of yours did not even get to show off! Don't call them elite if they can't live up to their name at all!" the female demon laughed.

"You!" the demon with long nose was about to attack the female demon when the demon wearing the Changshan slap his scissor-like hands and karate chop his neck in succession.

"Attacking comrades like that is unbecoming of you. Do not let your anger take over. If you are just a normal human just now, you will be dead already. If you interrupt the ritual or make some sort of trouble, I won't be hesitating to kill you right here, right now."

"Tch..." the long-nosed demon has no choice and back down from attacking the female demon.

The demon wearing the Changshan looked at the female demon on the tree and reprimanded her too. "Of course, you too should also lessen your taunts. Don't rub salt to wounds."

"Hai, hai!" the female demon grinned.

"As long as everyone understands each other, everything will be alright. Since humans are trying to interrupt the sacred ritual, then we have to take care of them. Go and kill them all," the demon in Changshan flicks his hands and two snakes with 3 heads appeared out of nowhere.

Those snakes quickly slithered somewhere and disappeared without any trace.

…

We are progressing a lot faster in our survey. Many of the demons we encountered were all killed and converted to demon shards. There are frequent senior demons we fought against many times but they were not that dangerous with the others doing their fights so easy and well done.

I have not done much except for some demon fliers that I usually just shot down using the lightning magic that I learned after earning the inheritance of Byakko but other than that, there is nothing much for me to do.

"The demons seem to be not showing up much though?" Erina said as she looked around the pitch-black surroundings that is still surrounded by the demonic fog.

"I can still see them lurking in the distance though they don't dare to go close to us. From my guess, they are either too intimidated by us or they are just there to observe. Maybe the combatant demons are just waiting in the shadows and waiting for the signal of the observers," Rena said as she keeps on releasing cold ice ground everywhere she steps on.

Maple come close to me and whispered as she looked at the others in curiosity. "I didn't know that you are friends with magicians with very strong abilities. No wonder you are also somewhat abnormal in terms of power and magic spells."

"Uh... I only know them in a chat group. This is the first time I have seen most of them though I am quite sure that not all magicians on the chat group I was in are currently in this group," I said.

Although she thought that I am friends with these guys, I barely know them since I barely open the chat group unless I want to check the spells section to learn something or if I want to just check something in there. The only people I can think that I have officially called friends are Moonlight and Titan. Erina just joined the gang so I am not really sure about her just yet.

"Really? They seemed to be too relaxed around you and you seemed to be able to give commands to them just like the time when you asked them for help. And voila, they arrived."

"Nah, since it involves Catmod- I mean Nekoyama-sama's Phantasmal Reality, they would surely go to the rescue. And look, not all of the magicians in the chat group are currently here. If they are, they would have already made an unstoppable army. They would never need us in there since they can topple any enemy that will try to get close."

"If everything of this is over, I will join that chat group and ask for some tips and training tricks on how to become a better and strong magician."

"Then I will add you after that."

While we are chatting, a group of flying demons appeared before us and currently circling above us. Also, a few howls of demon creatures started to echo not too far from us.

I have a bad feeling about this when I saw a flying eyeball with arms and small wings rush towards Anya. Anya did not notice it so it was my own volition to attack the eyeball.

"Incinerate!"

After releasing the magic, I immediately shouted to the others.

"We are under attack!"

The others immediately moved to the formation, protecting the injured magicians and prioritizing on defending rather than attacking.

"I spotted around 100 flying demons! Checking the species, they are Flying Gazers! Be careful with them! They can paralyze anyone if they fire their yellow beams!" Rena said and waved her hands freezing dozens of the flying gazers.

Then, there was a very strong rumbling on the ground that made me frown. I don't like this at all, and I am getting flashbacks of the stampede last time.

"Everyone! Watch out! These demons did not hold back! Different demon species spotted! They will be coming not too long now!" Yaya shouted while using magic that will allow her voice to sound like she was using a microphone.

"How many are the incoming demons?!" Voltaire shouted back as he was getting attacked relentlessly with the Flying Gazers.

"I can't count them! They might amount to more than a few hundred! They can cause stampede if they want to!"
