Chapter 530: Reinforcements Have Arrived

King Leonidas and his ten royal knights easily killed off five hundred demon wolves in their surprise attack. They used a direct route through the Mystic Fog that the fox clan members provided. The demon wolves that were waiting in front of the Mystic Fog were caught unaware and suffered a gruesome fate.

Each of the royal knights went to different directions so that they can kill demon wolves in high numbers, but they did not stray too far from each other. If they stray too far from each other then they could be surrounded by the demon wolves and become a prey cornered by hunters.

Each of them made sure that each one would be within their vision so that they could aid each other if one is in trouble. They have already used this technique before when they exterminated demon wolves that move in the hundreds. This is the first time they are using it at demon wolves that are thousands in number though.

"To think that the Wolf of Disaster has fostered this much fighting force without us knowing. Did the past kings die in vain without even reaching the Wolf of Disaster?" King Leonidas muttered as he hacked a demon wolf's head with his sword.

"You do not need to think about that, your majesty. We have no news about the north as even our best scouts could not go to where the Wolf of Disaster is residing." The bear beastkin royal knight stated as he pummeled a demon wolf with his great shield.

Slowly but surely, the king and his royal knights are reducing the number of the demon wolves but that also came at a cost. They are now getting exhausted quickly due to the large number of enemies that they have to fight. 

It only took about an hour for them to stick to each other's back in order to help each other. The king and the royal knights exterminated around two thousand demon wolves in the process, but exhaustion can be seen in their eyes. They did not give up as they knew that giving up means the death of their race.

The Sacred Snake, who was asked to defend the castle, decided to move as she feels that the king dying would greatly impede their plans. The king wanted to kill the demon wolf pack without using their Beastification as they need to use that for the fight against the Wolf of Disaster. 

Beastification is where a Selvaggian will assume more of their animal characteristics. They grow double in strength and speed but become extremely tired after using it. Some even get bedridden the first few times that they use the skill as their muscles get severely strained.

"If all else fails, we will use Beastification here. Let us just hope that the other overlords will come to reinforce us." King Leonidas commanded.

The overlords are said to be in a tough battle with the copies of the two Child of Disaster. One of the scouts even died just to bring this piece of information to them. If it was just a copy, then the overlords would not have a difficult time, but it seems even they were overrun by a large number of demon wolves.

The Selvaggians did not know how a large number of demon wolves could be present without disrupting nature. It seems that something unnatural is happening in the north that they are not aware of. King Leonias is now fully prepared to kill the Wolf of Disaster after what he witnessed here.

As the king and his royal knights are about to activate their Beastification, a white must suddenly envelop the area. The Sacred Snake, which used to be about only five meters long, returned to her true size and participated in the battlefield.

Her original size is so massive that she could easily swallow a demon wolf with one bite. The demon wolves should have retreated upon the southern overlord entering the battlefield, but they exhibited a strange behavior. The demon wolves did not care for their lives and just charged through the Mystic Fog.

The demon wolves that did not charge inside the Mystic Fog all attacked the Sacred Snake. The southern overlord may be powerful, but a lot of ants biting will still make you receive damage. The demon wolves became intoxicated by something as they became a frenzy.

The fox clan members could no longer hold the Mystic Fog with such a large number of enemies entering. They could no longer promise a one-to-one battle as their concentration is finally waning. It did not take long for one beastkin combatant to face three or four beastkins while others had none.

The screams of the falling beastkin warriors could be heard by the fox clan members as they are in control of the Mystic Fog. They can only grit their teeth as they hear the suffering of their comrades that are being attacked. 

The Sacred Snake decided to aid the beastkins inside the fog. She can hear their painful cries filled with the resolve to die for their loved ones. She is in awe for what those beastkin warriors are doing that she decided to use her body to the fullest even though she has yet to completely recover.

"King Leonidas, I will leave this area to you. The others need my help more." The Sacred Snake stated as she went inside the Mystic Fog.

"It seems that we really need to use Beastification. On my signal, everyone will use it." King Leonidas commanded as there are still about a thousand demon wolves left to kill.

"Your majesty, you should save yours for when you kill the Wolf of Disaster. We decided that sixth to tenth royal knights should use it instead." The hippo beastkin stated while the other royal knights agreed as if they already planned something like this.

"The thousand demon wolves that are left do not look like the others. They are stronger than the ones we have face before. We are all going to use it so that no one sacrifices themselves." King Leonidas stated as he knows that those five could get killed.

As King Leonidas is about to give the command, a demon wolf that does not look like the others suddenly popped out from a shadow. The demon wolf did not emit killing intent which is why King Leonidas, and his royal knights did not attack it. What's more, the demon wolf carried a hand clutching a mirror with its mouth.

The demon wolf released the hand in its mouth, and it suddenly floated with the mirror. The mirror suddenly increased in size. The royal knights then saw silhouettes of humanoid beings coming out of the mirror which they raised their weapons against.

It was only when Adrian stepped out of the mirror, is when King Leonidas relaxed a bit. The thousand demon wolves that are left though all looked at him with strong killing intent. They looked at Adrian as if he is someone that they absolutely need to kill. The one thousand demon wolves did not even wait for Adrian to move as they all charged towards him.

"It seems that I am pretty famous even here." Adrian commented but his face became all serious.
