Chapter 445 For the Future!

445 For the Future!

God-level demons might not be much of a threat compared to the Void Beast, but still, with their numbers, we would be at a disadvantage if they focused their attacks on a single place.

Fortunately, such a possibility was eliminated almost immediately.

"The demon army is scattering?"

That was the first thing that Ember reported as soon as we had a bit of rest.

After she checked the state of the army, she found that the march was slowly turning chaotic. As if they just lost their leader.

"Was the void beast the one that was commanding them before?"

Looking at its figure, being humanoid with armor and all that, there's a chance that that could be true. After all, as soon as it died, the army started to lose cohesion, just like a battalion that lost its commanding officer in the middle of their march.

Anyway, this is fortunate for us!

"Ember, predict the areas they will hit. We'll strengthen our defenses there specifically!"

With the army scattering, this means that their power was also getting dispersed. As such, it is our chance to further strengthen our defenses in response to them losing their command chain while sending a "guerilla" troop to cull their numbers little by little.

Ember quickly went to work and pulled out a map of the tiled kingdoms. Then, she quickly marked a few red points from the east, going denser further to the southeast before going thin around the southwest.

With the distribution she predicted, the most important point that would be burdened with the most attacks would be the southeast end.

For that position, the best personnel to place would be... I turned to the god tamers and frowned. Right now, they're still far from being back in shape for battle. At most, they would be able to provide backup, but handling the frontlines would be a tall task.

"Can I ask you to lead the defense in the southeast?"

I turned to the one girl who was sulking by the side, her face buried against her thick thighs. Igni.

"My Lord... are you sure? I... What if I fail again..."

Ah, by the way, Igni apparently reached the southern end before I turned off the Status Augmentation. She probably flew close to the escape velocity, but horizontally instead of heading to space!

"Hnnnngh!"

I stretched my aching body as soon as my suffering was over. I still feel pain from all over, but it's nothing I can't ignore. This much shouldn't pose a problem to me when fighting.

"Alright then, let's go!"

Now that I was free from the effects of the Energy Recovery Potions, it was finally time to head out.

I opened a portal directly in the middle of the slowly scattering enemies. Although they were now weakened due to spreading out, the middle was still where the most powerful god-level demons gathered.

In short, we should prepare for intense battles as soon as we reach the other side.

I set the portal high up in the sky just in case, to let us have a bird's-eye view of the battlefield beforehand. Before we even started to fall down from the pull of gravity, a transparent platform appeared under our feet. Minerva must've done this.

"... There's a lot of them."

I muttered as I stared below. Although they had begun to spread out, there were still hundreds of thousands of god-level demons gathered at the center. Their formation wasn't as dense as before, though, as expected.

"Then..."

Before I could begin to give the signal, Minerva suddenly took a step forward and waved her hand.

"[Palace of Endless Mirrors]!"

As soon as she finished her chant, activating her Domain, chaos ensued.
