328 Chapter 328

Their war weapons were just too powerful and deadly. Winged shaped metal beasts soaring through the sky and shooting down foes, metal beasts of the earth, capable of releasing explosive ranged attacks that make a silver realm fire mage sweat in his boots. Each of their soldiers possesses metal weapons that allow them to kill over five or more mages and guardian knights before they can even cast their spells or ready their weapons.

The sheer power of these mages and guardian knights look like kids and only the strong amongst them can last long enough to throw a few blows before they die. And when the gold realm masters of the holy church appeared, they were bombarded with even bigger and more powerful weapons that made rivaled them in strength and power, shooting them out of the air. 

The battle was one-sided and only a handful of people escaped the disaster and they are currently on their way to the Aldemar continent to seek refuge in the empire, under Samael's commands. If the former guardian spirit didn't intervene, countless people would have died in that battle too. 

Back then, Demos only watched the battle that lasted only a couple of days in horror, greatly annoyed by the fact he couldn't interfere. After the battle between him, two demi-god realm popes, the light angel, Michael, and the former guardian spirit Samael. Demos was banned from interfering with the activities of mortals by the creator and if he should flaunt this order, he will be dismissed from the heavens and become a rogue demigod being like Samael. As much as he would love to show the creator his middle finger and murder as many dumb angelic beings and demigods in the heavens, he still needed them. He still knew how important it is for him to stand at the creator's side since it allows him to witness all that's going on the first hand and get the most recent information easily. At that time he was grateful to Samael for stopping him when he was about to end the life of the light magic angel and the two demigod popes.

Since he didn't murder any of the creator's lackeys, he was able to confidently use Derik as an excuse to fight alongside Samael. In his defense, he claimed Cyrus and Derik were both assaulted by the three demigods. In such a position he didn't care whether Samael was a friend or foe, he just joined hands with him to protect his investment. No matter how much the creator would have loved to refuse such an excuse, it was too good to reject. The least it could do was ban Demos from getting involved in the fight of mortals and giving the same punishment to the three demigods he fought as well.

They haven't seen these 'powerless humans' fight in a full-scale war and only relied on the information blink provided them with. If what Demos said is true, how can they stand against such monsters in combat? Even with the help of the magic beasts, they may not last so long.

"when fighting them, do it within their settlement… don't try to overwhelm them with numbers since it's going to be useless… I suspect, they were able to build an artificial sky rift which allows them to bring people from their world over to this place till... so I suggest you destroy it… send only the strong…. And leave as soon as you are done… You can't fight them head-on… as for Derik and Cyrus… don't bother putting the lives of their followers at risk… they will go crazy if hundreds of them should die, just to wake them up… I will find another way to wake them up… Just focus on destroying their sky rift…" Demos said before vanishing abruptly. The urgency in his expression, made these people realize how dire the situation is and they dared not waste any more time.

"Contact Blink… Have him prepare for the raid… Kira… Gather all the other powerful masters of the empire… We are going to lay waste to that settlement before the day ends!" Kaido's eyes let out a bright red glow while he spoke.

"What about those two? Do we need them?" Kira's eyes carried signs of displeasure and disgust but Kaido couldn't blame him, he could understand why Kira and the other demon commanders despised Francis and Diana so much.

Unfortunately for them, this was no time for petty grudges, in as much as those two are yet to recover their true strength after they sustained severe injuries at the hands of these commanders, they were still useful. The possessed the experience as gold realm masters, making them more capable than Kira, Kuen, and Kin who just stepped foot into the realm.

"Unfortunately… we need everyone experienced enough… when Derik and Cyrus return… let them settle the matter how they see fit…" Kaido said indifferently.

"Outrageous! How can we even trust they will have our backs after everything that has happened? They can easily backstab us and join the enemy!" Kin's enraged voice echoed in the room.

"I wish I could give you an answer but I can't… I don't want these people to watch my back but then again… we don't have a choice… a force capable of destroying the holy church is not something we can underestimate… we need all the help we can get" Kaido smiled bitterly while he spoke. Even he was not completely okay with the idea, but it was necessary.

"But!" Kin wanted to argue further but a hand invaded his dark clouds and accurately grabbed his shoulders.

Suddenly an invisible force befalls him, making his legs tremble while the ground beneath his feet cracked.

"Don't worry my friend… I always act as the battle support… Now I have reached the gold realm… I won't find it difficult to subdue those weakened old hags… I'll keep an eye on them" Kuen released the pressure as soon as he released it, making the darkness mage relax a bit.

The later could only nod in agreement since Kira didn't show signs of disapproval anymore and the three dispersed to gather the masters of the empire and prepare for what could be the toughest battle of their lives.
