Chapter 120 - Display of Might

Cale arrived above Beijing. What he saw down below was a majestic city engulfed in terrifyingly hot flames. The battle in the sky was also not yet over when he came. 

His arrival was very high-profile because of his beautiful flaming black wings. And all of the drones immediately aimed their energy guns towards the newcomer.

"Doov! Doov!"

"Doov! Doov!"

"Doov! Doov!"

Multiple energy bullets were fired his way, but Cale remained unperturbed. His pair of burning wings covered his entire body. The energy bullets were not even able to penetrate his wings.

He then flapped his wings while taking out a demonic sword with archaic patterns, before vanishing from his location. 

He reappeared in front of a drone and nonchalantly slashed his sword. The burning heavy sword slashed the drone like a hot blade slicing through butter. A clear overkill!

Cale repeated this action several times, but in reality, his attacks only happened for several seconds, but dozens of drones were already destroyed.

The soldiers down below gaped in shock and they almost dropped the weapons they were holding on the ground. 

One soldier could not help but matter to himself. "Is he a fallen angel or something?"

Some soldiers heard him, but they were too overwhelmed to reply. They merely thought it should be possible, considering how the guy had wings that any normal human does not have. 

It was different for Vishnu and his men. They stared carefully at the figure who was destroying the drones like he was merely stomping on ants. Specifically, they stared at the man's familiar wolf mask.  

As of the moment, Cale removed his Void Wolf Immortal Armor and Void Wolf Immortal Shield in order to lessen his weight and fly faster. That is why his men were able to see his familiar wolf mask.

Their reverence towards their lord increased yet again. While the demi-humans were cursing under their breaths while escaping fearfully. 

They knew that the man above the sky was most likely a Saint-Class level fighter. And no one below the Saint realm would be able to stop such a monster. Only their Saint Commander Faramis was capable of stopping such a man. So they did not think twice and escape out of Beijing.

Cale's arrival turned the tides of the battle. The human side was losing significantly earlier, but after he arrived, the battle became a one-sided slaughter with the alien group being on the losing end.

They came with the thoughts of being able to taste the meat of humankind, but they never would have thought that a Saint-Class level fighter was actually guarding the planet. It was way out of their expectations since they only thought that humanity's best fighter should be at the Emperor-Class level at most.

Cale did not want to let them escape so easily. He used the element of time to slow down their speed before sending them a ball of raging fire. 

The sky suddenly turned brighter after a rain of fireball was released by Cale. The scene was jaw-dropping and the soldiers down below could only look on with dumbstruck expressions, while Vishnu and his men cheered loudly. Their loud cheering reverberated within the city of Beijing which ignited the valiance of all the soldiers of China.

All the drones and demi-humans that were hit by Cale's raging fireballs were incinerated. Only their ashes and burnt metal scraps remained. But even with that, there were still a few demi-humans and drones that managed to escape.

Cale turned around and glanced at the soldiers down below. He then shouted an order that woke everyone. 

"Soldiers of the Tyrannical Tower, destroy those rats that managed to slip away! Don't allow them to leave! Kill them all!"

The soldiers of the tower stood snappily and saluted Cale as they replied in a loud voice.

"Sir, yes sir!"

They then pulled out their weapons and sprinted towards where most enemies escape into. The local Chinese soldiers were left stunned in their places as they glanced at the Tyrannical Tower's soldiers moving with perfect coordination.

They did not even bother questioning the order and just followed after the command was spoken. That was how a soldier must move! The local soldiers then felt the difference between their two armies. They were like a bunch of untrained children when compared to the tower's soldiers.

Who could blame them? They were not trained to fight aliens or defend against an alien invasion. They were only trained to maintain the peace of their country's borders and intimidate the other countries. 

On the other hand, the tower's soldiers had experienced more than a year of hellish battles inside the Virtual World. They also experienced multiple life and death situations, hence their fear during every battle was almost insignificant.

After facing the endless wars inside the Virtual World, the current invasion was like a playback of what they had experienced. Besides, this was not the most elite force under Cale's command. He still had the hot-blooded young members from the Phantom Wolf Department. 

Aside from that, the dwarven blacksmiths were also manufacturing a supply of advanced weaponry day and night to arm his soldiers. Cale's army alone was equivalent to the whole world's army combined. Of course, this was in terms of skills and battle efficiency.

After less than an hour, all the escaping enemies were hunted one by one and were mercilessly slaughtered by Cale's soldiers. Not one was able to live, even the Divine-Class level demi-human was slaughtered by Vishnu who was burning with valor.

They raised their weapons in the air and cheered loudly to announce their victory against the demi-humans. 

Cale glanced at his soldiers and his lips can be seen curving upwards which formed a faint smile. He then glanced at a certain direction and flew away while flapping his wings which created multiple gusts of wind.

His calm voice then echoed inside Vishnu's head which surprised the latter. 

'This must be a skill that only Saints can use.'

He was indeed right, the telepathic speech was a skill that only Saints were capable of doing. They use the power of the elements to deliver a message to someone. But, the recipient should be at least within twenty miles of their location.

"Help the local soldiers evacuate everyone to a much safer location. And if there are any demi-humans alive, kill them all." 

A hint of coldness was present on Cale's tone when he said the word 'kill'. Vishnu felt a chill and thanked his lucky stars for not having to stand against such a terrifying man.

He then glanced at the disappearing back view of Cale above the sky and fiercely saluted while speaking in a deep voice.

"Roger, that."

* * *

Cale flew with his top speed towards the direction of the demi-humans' remaining soldiers. He sped towards the nearest country that they had occupied while taking out a radio from his storage space. 

"Zero, I want eighty percent of our soldiers to come in India. I don't want any more rats to escape and live freely within our world. Let the ladies remain and safeguard the tower and the academy. Don't worry about them, they are not any weaker than you guys. Those ladies might even be more powerful than you men."

Zero who was guarding his spot listened attentively to Cale's command. When the other side turned silent, he then replied in a confident voice. 'As you wish, my lord."

Cale put the radio back inside his storage space. What he said to Zero was not an exaggeration at all. Zarinvienne and Nocturna had non-human bloodlines with much stronger physical abilities and talent. The only reason why they did not breakthrough towards the Saint-Class level was that they did not practice hard. Instead, both ladies used their time on buying and eating the wondrous delicacies of Earth.

Cale promised himself to be more strict towards them after the war. And besides, he had planned on bringing them towards the demon's planet. He might already be at the Saint realm, but he should still bring a few subordinates with him on that planet to do the minor errands. It would be too troublesome if he does everything on his own.

"Asteria, tell me. Should I be harsher towards the ladies?" Cale asked Asteria to relieve his boredom while traveling towards the country occupied by the demi-humans.

He only heard a reply after waiting for a few more seconds.

"Up to you."

Asteria's nonchalant and calm voice was like a bucket of cold water. This little lady hasn't changed one bit. He then stopped his plans on talking with Asteria or he might really die from exasperation. He just silently increased his speed. He disregarded the huge expense of elemental essence since there was still undigested energy from the Superior Elemental Essence Bundle that he had consumed earlier. He used that remaining energy to recover his fast consumption of elemental essence.

After traveling for less than an hour, he arrived at the periphery of India's border. A part of India was invaded by the demi-humans. But surprisingly, India was able to defend its lands for a long while. They actually hid a terrifying weapon that was almost on par with the world's best, but several parts of their land still succumbed under the advanced weaponry of the demi-humans.

"Next... India." Cale flapped his wings and flew towards where he felt the aura of thousands of demi-humans.
