War of the Gods and Demons: Chapter 2

…

Deep inside the valley, near the side of a stiff mountain lays a grotto. It is a manmade cave with an entrance of 5 meters in width and 4 meters in height.

​ The reason why it could be suspected as manmade is because of the cave entrance which is a stone arc and has a cornerstone in the middle.

From one look, one could already tell that this place has an eerie atmosphere in it.

The forest was quiet that even the rustling of the leaves through the blowing of the wind could not be heard.

This created a weird atmosphere that made the four people standing in front of the grotto frown in deep contemplation.

"We should enter… I could sense a living being inside." Cohan Vale, the A-Rank awakened, said while gesturing for the 3 to follow him.

As they walked inside the opening, they could smell a strange scent coming from inside. And it becomes stronger as they walked deeper into the cave.

Suddenly, the group stopped as they noticed that after walking for about 30 minutes, they seem to be walking in circles.

"Did… did we just land on a trap array?" asked one of the B-Ranks with a deep frown.

"Hmm… Yes… I think we just fell into a trap but… It is not an array but the scent we just smelled at the entrance… If my conjecture is right, then we should already be unconscious…" Cohan Vale said making the 3 B-Ranks' faces turn pale.

"How could… How could this happen? We are already B-Rank awakened. I can even destroy this cave if I wanted to… You mean we can easily be knocked down just like that?" the man said as he walked to the side of the cave tunnel.

Then without hesitation, he delivers a resounding punch on the wall.

Bang!!!

The wall shook but nothing happened after that.

This scene made the rest of them dumbfounded.

"So the only way out of this thing is for us to wake up, or if someone is able to remove that scent in the cave…" Cohan Vale said helplessly.

In truth, he is not that afraid of any demons attacking their unconscious bodies. This is because once this happens then they would then wake up.

With their tough bodies, once they woke up, then it would be the end of those demons.

And this is actually true to his conjecture.

Right now, a few demons that look like creatures without a head are dragging their bodies towards a corner where a young woman is also lying.

The young woman's wound on her stomach has already festered and if not taken care of then she would surely die.

Inside the dream world, the four people began walking down the tunnel as they cannot do anything except walk deeper.

Suddenly, the four of them noticed a figure sitting on the ground ahead of them.

"Hey… You are Ella Exe, right?" one of the B-Ranks asked as he walked near her.

The young woman seemed to be startled and when she looks up she noticed the four men. Two of them are decked in military uniform and this made her feel hopeful.

"You guys have come at last… I… I did not know how I arrived here… I'm lost and… hungry and cold… Huhuhu…" she suddenly wailed.

The four showed a helpless expression on their faces as they too could not do anything. Even with their strength and power, they actually fell into the trap of the enemy. It was really a disgraceful defeat on their part.

"Do not worry too much… Since we already found you, I think it would be better if we go back now…" Cohan Vale suggested.

Ella Exe lifted her gaze and nodded her head while looking at the man.

She still held her stomach as she stands up.

"Does your stomach hurt?" Cohan asked.

"Yes… I… I was shot in the stomach, but when I enter here there I have no wound, but still, it hurts…" she explained.

With a nod, they already know that her condition is actually grave. But no one said anything.

The group then walked back and although the scene before them seems the same, they soon arrive at the entrance of the cave.

"We cannot get out… I've tried." She said.

The rest nodded as they know what she means.

…

Meanwhile, outside the cavern, a large group of demons that looks like headless spawn from hell began to gather. Their long limbs and razor-sharp claws give off a very intimidating vibe.

Then, their body slowly changes and a single eye opened on their chest, and on their stomach, a large mouth slowly appears.

There are thousands of them that gathered just outside the grotto making an eerie sound like the clinking of insects' sharp feet hitting the ground.

It did not take long before a tall figure began walking out of the grotto.

The tall figure has a form of a woman with a black cloak that looks like long wings dangling behind her.

"Ahh… This is the world that we should be conquering… Hihihi… This amount of energy is truly satisfying… Those shadow fools are being too focused on conquering that heaven, that they did not see the beauty of this world…" her demonic voice echoed in the air.

The demons around her look at her with fear and respect.

"Hmm… There are a couple of ants surrounding us. I think removing these things would be my first task before Lord Amenadon descends to this world…" she thought while looking at the vicinity where the rest of the forces are hidden.

Her eyes then landed inside the grotto, but then she shook her head as she knew that touching those men inside would mean death to her and her group.

"Go and bring me their heads!" she suddenly commanded with a wave of her hand.

The demons in the surroundings suddenly growled as they began running out from inside the formation like a pack of hungry wolves.

At this time, the troops watching the scene in the valley were suddenly alarmed when they noticed a huge number of demons suddenly appearing out of nowhere.

The first one to encounter the demons was those that are following the A-Rank and B-Ranks. This group was left to wait just a couple of hundreds of meters away from the array.

As soon as the demons appear, this group immediately jump into action and fought them.

Meanwhile, rifles began echoing in the air as the snipers began shooting the demons.

But of course, their weapons did not have any effect on some of the demons as guns usually do not do any significant damage to them.

As the battle ensues, blood-curdling cries began to echo deep inside the valley.

"Should we attack?!" asked one of the soldiers.

"Do you think you can make a difference in there? Stand your ground and follow your orders by the letter…" Dozer interjected as he could see the anxiousness of the soldier.

"Sir, I think we better help. As a soldier I do not want to be branded as a coward…" one of the soldiers amongst the group stood up.

Xin Ja and Dozer looks at each other and showed a helpless smile.

"As a soldier, you have a duty to stick to your command… The situation in front of you is not your fault but that of the higher-ups. It is better if you stand your ground…" Xin Ja said with a frown.

"I will check things out… Remember to not leave this place no matter what happens." Xin Ja reminded the group.

With a flash of his body, Xin Ja disappears and suddenly appears near the battleground.

He immediately noticed a young woman fighting against a group of demons. Although her armor and suit are already in tatters, she still did not stop attacking the demons around her.

He could also see a couple of familiar faces already on the ground. He did not know whether they are still alive or already dead, but it looks like the young woman is actually protecting them.

In the corner of his eyes, Xin Ja noticed a demon suddenly appearing.

With the stretch of his leg, he sent that demon flying towards a group of demons which tumbled down like a bowling pin.

Then his figure flashed and arrives next to the young woman.

At this time, he saw the C-Rank male, which is supposed to be their backup in this battle, lying on the ground with a big hole in his chest.

Xin Ja quickly moved and fired his MCAW sending a couple of demons falling to the ground with bolts embedded deeply in the eye on their chest.

He then takes out his sword and easily mows down the rest of the demons in the vicinity.

His series of actions stunned the rest of the awakened that are still fighting along with the demons.

By this time, the demons have already seen Xin Ja as their greatest enemy.

And so, they began to attack him in droves.

"Go to that side! My team is in that area. You and the rest would be safe in that place…" Xin Ja shouted at the young woman behind him.

Gritting her teeth, she decided to quickly help her comrades and run towards the area where Xin Ja's team is.
