The battle continued, at times Jayden would get the upper hand but time and time again the demons showed strange abilities that restricted many of Jayden's skills, and placed him in difficult positions.
After over five hours of constant battling, the voice of goddess Damuda finally sounded in his head as she spoke in a hurried tone:
" All the preparations are done, now the closing of that hole could finally start, hold all of them off for some more time, and I'll use this chance to seal off the entrance again. "
While slashing at a penguin and dodging the attack of one of the zebra demons, Jayden nodded and replied in his head:
' Make it quick, I can't hold them all off for much longer, my reserves of internal energy are quickly drying up, at this rate I might get exhausted, even before the battle ends. '
Wounds kept appearing on his body, and the tentacles of the Sucking Demon would not let him use the Demonic Devouring arts, they gave up on sucking his energy and instead focused on disrupting the flow of energy in his body and stopping him from using many of his abilities.
Jayden couldn't do much to them since they stayed some distance away while the other three types of demons kept attacking him.
Jia had taken out her ice sword, she would help Jayden whenever he seemed in a tough situation and stop any demon from stepping into the Kingdom, all ten of the elders worked along with her, Jayden had told them about the abilities of all the demons which helped them in fighting against those demons.
The zebra demon ran around Jayden and would strike him at any moment, and the Penguin like demon were more in a group of ten to fifteen, it was becoming hard for Jayden to defend against them, despite feeling their presence around him.
A few more hours had passed, and the size of the hole had been reduced to half of what it was originally, Jayden had already exhausted more than half of his internal energy, and he also needed to summon Rakshasa one more time since after exhausting all its energy it had disappeared once more, but this time Jayden didn't need to wait for a minute to summon it again.
Any demon that tried to sneak behind Jayden was dealt by Jia and the ten peak rank elders, although some of them were injured because of their spirits being broken, but they still did their best to support Jayden since they knew he was the first and last layer of defense that they could count on if not for him this place would already be in shambles and no one would be able to save any of them.
Jayden and the two Monarch Rakshasa formed a triangle, they were looking out for each other and blocking all the blind spots, attacks rained down on them from all the directions, and mental attacks were absorbed by the Rakshasa's, while Nether Fire was successfully burning off any tentacle that approached, the penguin demon were no longer any issue, since Jayden hadn't left any blindspot around him.
Their claws and sword were striking the high speed zebra demon, whose speed increased the longer they ran, they were like rays of blurring light as they kept striking him, inflicting many wounds on his body.
As Jayden fought, he occasionally glanced at the hole that kept getting smaller and was now even smaller than half of its original size.
But the more he looked at it the more Jayden felt uneasy in his heart, he couldn't understand the reason but he felt that something big and possibly bad was going to happen soon, but without stopping to think about it Jayden kept moving to different positions avoiding all the strikes from the demons and killing them.
While fighting, he glanced back and saw that three of the elders were dealing with one Mind Demon, the Tottering demon and crazy bull were engaged with another Mind Demon while the rest of the elders were dealing with a sucking demon.
None of them were in any danger, Wang Jia used her aura to detect the presence of the penguin demons and stopped them from sneaking behind anyone.
