Chapter 88: Humans vs. Demons

Chapter 88: Humans vs. Demons- ??? POV -

I looked at the army of demons I was commanding, a satisfied smile on my face.

Ever since I decided to be the first to agree to become a demon under Lord Lance, my life had only begun to improve.

The king, who had no idea of my existence before, now appreciated me, I was given a power greater than a knight warlord, and I now commanded an army of tens of thousands of demons!

Even though I had to sacrifice thousands of people and give up my humanity to achieve this level of power, I didn't care one bit.

I had no family, no friends, no girlfriend, so why worry?

With the mission to explore the southwestern zone of Galvaris while King Victor and Lord Lance were with the main army heading towards the capital of the kingdom, I knew I had a great opportunity to sacrifice more people along the way and become even stronger!

However, I was surprised when I noticed a large number of people a few kilometers ahead...

Using my Rank 2 Embryonic Demon senses, I could sense that there were at least 50,000 people marching towards me in an orderly fashion, definitely an enemy army!

Could it be the Galvaris Resistance?

"Get ready, enemy army ahead, speed up the march, whoever isn't stained with enemy blood after the battle will be a victim!" I shouted to the demons under my command, pointing in the direction of the enemy army.

Upon hearing my command, the weaker demons became a mixture of desperate and excited and began to run in the direction I pointed, while the stronger demons walked more slowly, leaving the weaker ones to serve as cannon fodder.

In a few minutes, the weaker demons reached the enemy army.

Excited, I looked at them, expecting to see the terrified expression on their faces like all our previous victims, but strangely enough... although they were a bit surprised, there was no fear?

Just like the weaker demons under my command, the weaker soldiers of the enemy army were strangely excited as they rushed to fight the demons?

They won't have such courage after seeing their comrades die...

...

Why do demons die and not humans?!

Whenever a human was about to die, a strange colored creature would magically appear from somewhere and enter the battle with considerable power, killing the demon that was about to kill the human and helping the human retreat to safety, with another human taking his place and the cycle repeating itself...

?????

Looking at the small colorful creatures, I was surprised to realize that these creatures had a strange familiar power in their bodies, but they were so far away from me that I couldn't figure out what it was...

At that time, the most powerful demons with powers ranging from Sworn Knights to Elite Knights to Weapon Master joined the battle, leaving only the demons with Warlord equivalent powers by my side to watch the battle.

Surprisingly, the demons with Weapon Master powers, who were like Grim Reapers in other battles, killing everyone in their path, were being held back by humans!

Something was wrong with this army... Galvaris couldn't have amassed such a large army of such high quality...' I thought confusedly as I observed the enemies, especially looking at where their commanders should be.

With my power as a rank 2 embryonic demon, I could see much further and with much higher quality, so it wasn't difficult to find mortal humans in a group in the enemy army.

Their command group consisted of twelve people, and strangely enough, all twelve of them were holding books as they talked non-stop.

Unfortunately, I couldn't hear what they were saying or read what was in their books, but it seemed like they weren't even listening to each other because six people were talking at the same time, and a person next to each of those six people would occasionally talk while pointing at something in the books...

What kind of weird fucking battle is this?

Looking at the mage outfits of the 6 people in that group of 12, I began to feel that this was even stranger, since Galvaris didn't have many mages...

Looking at the battlefield again, I noticed that even more colorful creatures were participating in the battle, helping the humans to deal with as many of the weaker demons as quickly as possible, while the more powerful humans were fighting and holding off the more powerful demons.

The strange thing was that unlike my army of demons, which was completely disorganized, even in such chaos where they were facing tens of thousands of enemies, the humans strangely managed to maintain order and formation, always correcting problems that arose in their formation, so the battles were always more than one human against one demon...

If this continued, our defeat would be inevitable... something had to change.

"They're going to attack, if this continues, all these idiots are going to die." I said in a cold voice.

Upon hearing this, the three warlords under my command nodded and ran onto the battlefield.

With their enhanced strength, each of them could handle two or three human warlords on their own.

However, the opponents' response was quick, and they only killed a few dozen human soldiers before the opposing Warlords arrived at their exact location and prevented the carnage from continuing.

These opponents were some of the commanders of the enemy army.

With each of my three warlords holding off two opposing warlords, there were only six opposing commanders left to continue giving orders.

But the advantage was on my side.

My warlords gradually gained the upper hand with demonic power.

Then, a mage among the commanders moved onto the battlefield and began to chant a spell while pointing at the Warlords' battle.

I could have stopped him, but I was curious to see how strong this mage was.

When the mage finished chanting the spell, a dark cloud came out of the mage's hand and floated down to the battle.

When it arrived above the battle, every few seconds, the cloud unleashed lightning bolts at his subordinates, causing damage equal to the warlord's attack.

"That mage is at least a sage mage..." I said in surprise.

Looking at his red cloak and noticing that there were other mages with red cloaks like his, I figured that they must all be Sage Mages...

If I'm not mistaken, this custom of standardizing the color of a mage's cloak based on their power level is something from Arcantor... Galvaris decided to ask the mages of Arcantor for help?!

Thinking that it would be better to join the battle before these mages overwhelmed his subordinates, he started walking towards the battlefield until something strange happened.

Suddenly, a song began to play... Sёarᴄh the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

A song I had never heard before, and I had no idea where it came from...

It was a strange war song, and as soon as it began to play, the soldiers in the battle were surprised, but when a female voice began to spread across the battlefield singing this song, mixed feelings arose.

The humans felt as if they were indestructible and began to advance without fear, while the weaker demons began to get frightened and even turned around to flee the battlefield!

Shocked, I noticed that this music was coming from the books tied to the humans' waists, and from this book, a power very similar to my demon power was flowing.

This power was positively affecting the minds of the humans while trying to scare the demons!

While this power couldn't affect the minds of the most powerful demons, it was having great results on the weaker demons, turning the battle completely in their favor!

As I paid more attention to this power flowing through the books, feeling such familiarity with my demonic power, I came to a conclusion.

This could only be divine power!

Is there a God watching this battle?!

Looking around anxiously, I couldn't feel any trace of a God's Divine Power, which reassured me.

Since I was a Rank 2 Embryonic Demon, I was confident that I could sense the power of a God or another demon near me, so since I didn't feel anything, the God of this army must still be in his realm, like the coward he is.

"Hahaha, since there's a god watching this, how about I give you the pleasure of seeing your own army decimated and serving as a sacrifice to make me stronger?" I laughed out loud.

With the sacrifice of 60,000 people, I could jump from a rank 2 embryonic demon to rank 3, or even rank 4 if I'm lucky!

Thinking about how powerful I would become, I even licked my lip as I walked towards the battlefield, ready to show these vermin the power of an Embryonic Demon.

What didn't bother me at first was that while I was arrogantly making my way to the battlefield, the humans realized that I was coming and started discussing how they were going to deal with me, until something made one of their books make a strange noise and a smile appeared on their faces.

With that smile, one of the humans summoned a small creature that was completely different from the three creatures that had appeared before.

It was a black crow that appeared with insignificant strength, but with each passing second, its strength began to increase more and more, to the point that even I, who was going out onto the battlefield with confidence, was surprised by the strength it was achieving...
