Chapter 2090 "Cornered"



But can this situation last long? 

As more and more demons gathered, the outermost defensive line was breached over and over again, forcing the contestants to retreat and lose a part of their safe zone territory that they had to protect. 

The warriors at the front line suffered more injuries, and some people had almost died several times or were only left with a slight of breath. 

Without good healers inside the castle, it would be impossible for these warriors to survive. 

The logistic team was also good enough to bravely transport all the injured people back to the castle regardless of the danger around, which further suppressed the chance of casualties occurring. 

However, thirty minutes before sunset, because of the sudden increase of demons on the battlefield, many warriors could not return to the battlefield. 

They could only lie down with bodies full of injuries. 

Some contestants even fell into a deep coma despite being able to keep their little fragile life. 

The students who were assigned to the second and third defensive line had all reiterated to the fourth and fifth defensive line, leaving the second defensive line and the third one for the contestants. 

The previously second barrier wall now became the first defensive line, which means the originally five barrier wall was now only four. 

The first barrier wall could not be repaired anymore and instead of wasting energy to fix the hole, the barrier teams shifted the barrier to the second barrier wall and added more layers so that this defensive line could last for a while. 

The array masters also quickly enhanced the barrier walls while still killing as many demons as possible through the infused sky array and earth array. 

? ? ? ? .

The sky and earth array were all infused with a trace of purifying ability or light element ability, which helped a lot in killing demons. 

However, no matter how many demons were killed, new demons just popped out of the dimensional holes, replacing the dead demon. 

This was the first time everyone saw such a tenacious race that was so similar to bugs in terms of population and aggressiveness. 

These demons kept popping out and the difficulty in killing them all was indeed the fact that there were just too many of them. 

Maybe the overall population of abyss demons reached hundreds of billions or even trillions, which was why the ancestors had to create such a huge artificial dimension just to trap the demons. 

After all, it was simply impossible to eradicate the demons! 

The demons could give birth to new cubs in just one month and the growth progress of low-level demons was so fast. 

A six-month-old abyss demon was already considered a teenager ready to go to the battlefield, and even those younger than six months old were all born strong with their own plundering talent. 

The abyss demons could devour many things, and they were really born to rob others.

With how fast the demons breed new cubs and how fast the cubs grow, coupled with how difficult it was to kill the demons without the right method, it was no wonder that back then, the ancestors could not be free from abyss demons for thousands of years.  I think you should take a look at

Now that Ainsley and the others realized the surge of demons on the battlefield, the warriors at the frontline had also faintly realized something was wrong. 

However, they were still supplied with bullets, holy water, and talismans— so the warriors didn't think the problem was serious. 

Anyway, they only had to fight low-level demons because the mid-level demons were left to the special vanguards and the people on the rooftops. 

It's not that hard. 

Still, as the sky slowly reddened and the sun went down, there was no notice from the academy about the promised teleportation tunnel. 

The academy's communication line seemed to be cut off from the people on the island, and even the students could no longer access anything other than the live broadcast room. 

At this time, they didn't know that 70% of the demons all over the four battlefields had already rushed to them, and half of the whole army had already arrived at the island. 

They were just wandering around the island, trying to find a place to hide and breed, but the surge of demons at the top of the snowy mountain attracted many other demons to go to that place. 

Maybe that place was a suitable place for demons to breed or something? 

Of course not. Demons were weaker in a cold environment, but many mid-level demons resolutely went to the snowy mountain regardless of anything because they sensed the thick smell of 'food' from these 1000 survivors! 

All these survivors were elites among elites, so their quality as 'food' was also better than many beasts and monsters around. 

Of course, on the way to the snowy mountain, the demons would kill one or two beasts and monsters to fill the stomach that had been empty for so long. 

The low-level demons almost swept the whole area on the way to the snowy mountain, which immediately triggered the overlords of those territories to fight. 

More hidden sacred beasts and monsters at the same level as sacred beasts were threatened by the demons' aggressive attack, leading to another chaos on the island. 

It was only because of this that the number of demons on the battlefield around the castle did not continue to rise sharply. 

The aborigines of this island who were not affected by the miasma or joined the large beast and monster tide fought hard against the demons, indirectly helping these 1000 survivors. 

Unfortunately, even with this 'help', the survivors were still cornered bit by bit.
