"ROOOAAARR!"
Everyone turned their heads towards the sound of the roar in the air above them and saw two big void shuttles facing off against a three-headed dragon.
Outside the void shuttles, there were also seven humans attacking the demons who were controlling the three-headed dragon. The scene was chaotic and intense, with the dragons' roars echoing through the air as the battle raged on.
Orion watched the unfolding spectacle, realising the scale of the conflict had escalated far beyond what he had anticipated.
However, at that moment, including Orion and everyone fighting on the disc, they all noticed that at the opposite end, a powerful suction force was generated, pulling everything towards it.
The sudden gravitational pull caused chaos among both humans and demons alike, disrupting the ongoing battle and forcing everyone to brace themselves against the unseen force.
But the gravitational suction didn't last long; instead, it transformed into a spiralling vortex. From within this vortex, more demons emerged, pouring into the disc with relentless aggression.
"More demons!"
"And why has a portal appeared here all of a sudden?"
"Damn, look at their aura; all of them are at the silver rank."
"Will we be able to defend against them? We already lost a few."
"Don't worry about it. We are more in numbers; we will outnumber them."
The humans in the disc who were fighting the demons earlier panicked a little seeing so many silver-rank demons coming out of the portal but there were also brave ones who thought they could outnumber them if they couldn't overpower them.
"No, look!"
At that moment, some more demons came from the portal; however, they were somewhat different from the usual silver and iron-rank demons.
They were a little longer and appeared more muscular than usual.
"They are at the peak of the gold ranks!"
"And look at them; there are a total of five of them."
Everyone understood that their only chance of survival was to fight with everything they had, relying on their skills and wits to fend off the demonic assault.
They knew better to not believe in demons and fight for survival; after all, demon race was demon race; they wouldn't believe them no matter what they said.
The human race was the enemy of the angel race and the celestial race too but it was the demon race that threatened them the most. They were stronger than the human race and slightly weaker than the other two races, hence their overly aggressive nature towards humans.
Most importantly, the demon race, like the other two races, had been eyeing the territory of the three domains since humans got their system and became powerful enough to catch the attention of the other races, including the demon race.
All three races wanted the region of the three domains all to themselves since humans at that time were still too weak to compete with them.
At the end, the other three races were about to start a war to claim the region of the human race.
However, they had to end the war before it even started because, a thousand years ago, Grimshore came into existence, drawing the attention of all other races away from the human race and giving them some relief.
The emergence of Grimshore, with its mysterious and powerful influence, acted as a diversion that allowed humans to regroup and fortify their defences.
This temporary respite enabled them to develop strategies and alliances to better cope with the ongoing threats from the angel, celestial, and demon races.
And now that a thousand years had passed, the human race, though still weaker than the other three races, had become powerful enough to stand tall against any of them.
It wasn't like before, when they were at the mercy of the other races.
They had developed advanced techniques, formidable warriors, and strategic alliances that allowed them to hold their ground and fight with resilience.
The humans had evolved from a beleaguered race into a formidable force, ready to defend their place in the world.
Therefore, the bewitching words of the demon didn't have any effect on them. They knew that they were powerful enough to fight against the demon race and hence, although they feared the demons, they weren't cowards or foolish enough to believe whatever nonsense they spouted.
Seeing that humans didn't have any reactions whatsoever to his words made the demon angry.
"I have given you humans a chance, but you didn't take it," the demon said, his words dripping with malice. His eyes glowed with an unholy light as he continued, "Now, you will face the full wrath of the demon race. Prepare yourselves for annihilation."
As the words left his mouth, the demons came running towards the humans, their four arms carrying four weapons each. Their monstrous forms moved with terrifying speed and agility, closing the distance rapidly.
The humans, despite their fear of the onslaught, stood their ground with weapons at their ready.
