Chapter 630 The Other Winged Demon And Beast's Plan



With the winged demon dead, the rest of the demons were on the back foot. The other high-grade Tier IV demon was able to go toe-to-toe against Wolf and Shadow, but that was thanks to his explosiveness and incredible defense which, although difficult to overcome, was not going to help him forever.

Injuries had started appearing on his body as Shadow's fast attacks were simply too much for the demon to evade on a consistent basis while fighting against Wolf whom he deemed as a larger threat. With Wolf's sword, he was indeed the one with the strongest offense after Reign in his Nephilim form.

Each swing of his sword was enough to make the demon stay on his toes and do the best job he could in evading the attack. Thanks to the fact he fought unlike the other demons that Wolf and the others had gone up against, he was able to surprise them and take advantage of that, forcing Wolf and Shadow to go on the defensive for quite some time.

Still, that would not last forever. His martial arts were at a high level, but Wolf and Shadow both were also good at it, with both men having fought against people with such skills plenty of times in the past.

Wolf only needed to keep a small distance away from the demon in order to make it more difficult for the latter to attack him, while also having the advantage of being the one with the longer reach thanks to his sword.

His sword was currently 200 kg heavy, with such great weight, it would be enough for Wolf to merely throw it weakly at a person to break his bones thanks to the weight alone. With him being a Tier IV combatant, he was powerful enough to wield it, although his attacks were no longer as fast as they once were, he was still able to swing a sword fast enough for a normal person to be unable to see.

The darkness corrosion had also started working, although not as well as both Wolf and Shadow had hoped it would thanks to the fact the demon's ability didn't only strengthen his skin, bones, and muscles, but also his internal organs. It was truly the same kind of ability that Tank had, only a demonic one.

As for Tank and the others, with Reign taking out a couple of monsters and injuring some of the other ones, they were slowly gaining a bigger advantage against them and were winning. The one monster that Reign had taken made no noticeable difference as it was a low-grade Tier IV.

M'azgara's monsters were doing well, especially those that had been fighting against the demons that Reign had injured, some had even managed to kill their enemy and had gone to help the others.

Beast was keeping up with the winged demon that tried going after Reign upon noticing how his transformation had ended and that he was seemingly weakened now. With his bow and fusion still present, he was sending out barrage after barrage of arrows at the demon who had a difficult time evading and blocking the attacks.

He used a spear to fight and a long-range battle was not his forte, but Beast had forced him to battle in such a way as when he had tried going at Beast and managed to get close to him, the latter simply smirked and let go of his bow before using his powerful claws and black lightning to attack him, wounding him and letting him know that he was not a pushover in a melee fight either.

With his enemy being someone that could fight proficiently in both forms of combat, the demon was forced to keep his distance and use some regular long-range attacks, hoping that they would injure Beast. Neither of the two was seriously injured, but it was Beast that was at the disadvantage as his fusion would not last forever, and after it was gone, both he and Blackie would be weaker than before, thankfully, the effect was nowhere close to potent as Reign's transformation, so they would still be able to fight against the demon.

Still, the mana that Beast used in his fused state, as well as the injuries he received, would be transferred to both of them after the fusion, which meant that he was currently using double the mana for his skills and attacks as both he and Blackie would be impacted by it.

Beast knew that he had to do something and that he only had two options. One was to surprise the demon once again and deal heavy damage to him, while the other one was to simply hold him off and wait for the others to finish their fights before helping him out. Neither one was good.

All the powerful skills that Beast had took time to be unleashed, and in that time, the demon could easily widen the distance and make it hard to hit him, he could even escape and go to Reign or someone else while waiting for the others just didn't sit right with Beast as he wanted to help them and pull his own weight in this battle.

As he launched his arrows, Beast suddenly thought of something else that he could do that would be helpful to him and the others. Grabbing an arrow, he notched it on the bow before pulling it to its maximum and pouring his mana into it. 

Black lightning started flickering around the arrowhead as the demon opened his eyes wide and widened the distance while also throwing a couple of demonic missiles at Beast, all of which were blocked by Spirit.

Beast then smirked at the demon before firing his arrow at another demon that was locked in battle with Laura who was on the offensive and was pressuring him heavily. His arrow came unexpectedly, but Laura had noticed it beforehand and had already used some skills to make it impossible for the demon to dodge or block it.

With how fast the arrow reached him, it would have been debatable whether the demon would have been able to evade or block it anyway, but it hit him, passing straight through the shoulder and then hitting another demon, injuring his leg and letting Greenie, who was currently in his Vajra form, to get the advantage and throw the demon on the ground before hitting him mercilessly with his fists.

"You!" The winged demon that Beast had been fighting against stared at Beast in anger before trying to do the same thing as Beast, only for multiple arrows to be launched at him before Beast jumped up and landed on a flying monster he summoned.

He had saved this one monster just in case. It was a high-grade Tier III monster, and in such a battle, it would be impossible for it to help as the demons could easily kill it, but with the winged demon widening the distance between himself and Beast, he had unintentionally allowed him to summon the large eagle and get on its back before following the demon and launching arrows from behind.

With the demon having turned around and showing his back to Beast, he had made it difficult for himself to go on the offensive. Turning around would only take a fraction of a second, but during that time, he would be unable to evade or block an arrow, which could lead to him being heavily injured by Beast.

By wanting to copy Beast and take advantage of the situation, the demon had placed himself in a more disadvantageous situation. Even if Beast's fusion was to end now, he would still be able to pressure the demon immensely with his arrows.

As for the demon taking advantage of the fights below and helping out his fellow brethren?

That would not work as well as Beast's previous attack. With Reign leaving the battlefield, the demons had fully focused on fighting Wolf and the others, believing that nobody would have the freedom to attack them as Reign previously had, which allowed Beast to sneakily launch an arrow at two of them and injure them.

After he had done so, the demons were more vigilant, but so were Wolf and the others as Beast's attack made them realize that the same could happen to them, especially since Beast was fighting against a demon that had wings and could attack them from above.

With their vigilance up, it would be hard for the demon to take them by surprise and injure them, which meant that he had no other option but to fly around and try his best to shake off the eagle on which Beast was flying, or to somehow kill it.

As the battle progressed, the demon had an ugly look on his face as more demons died, some had even tried to escape, only to be attacked from behind and killed as well.

As for Reign, the three teams had finally reached him and were getting back to their army while M'azgara's monster was still holding off most of the demons away from them. Reign had blocked a total of 8 more long-range attacks and was at his limit, making it hard for him to do anything else before resting for some time.

The monster, however, was injured and wouldn't last for much longer as the demons were unrelenting in their assault and did everything they could to deal damage to it, including blowing themselves up after being mortally wounded.
