Chapter 120: The Demons Unleashed

-----

(A few minutes ago.)

“CHARGEEEE!”

With the mighty roar of Mursha leading Bing Xue’s troops, the cavemen of the Children of the Flames and the Hawkeyes charged forward. In front of them were Mursha, Urbosa, Merkite, Peperina, and Fiery Hair.

In numbers, they were less than a hundred, yet they fought thousands of foes and had yet to lose a single fighter! The mighty orcs, beast-kin, and thralls of Elios couldn’t believe their eyes when they saw these half-naked humans overcome their tremendous physical powers or magical abilities with their bare fists and kicks!

The cultists of the Barbarian God gathered together, led by their leader; they were roughly ten thousand strong. Although more of them were gathered around the entire world, right now within the camp, this is their highest number.

“Don’t let them ridicule us anymore!” roared the cultist leader, a very tall red orc with demon-like horns coming from his forehead. “Kill these bastards!”

Thousands of foes charged against the cavemen and their leaders, as explosions and clashes of weapons and elemental magic erupted everywhere—less than one hundred allies surrounded by thousands of foes!

“There are way too many now!”

Merkite complained, jumping around the air as she pierced the bodies of several cult members with her spear imbued with winds. Each of her blows unleashed several spiraling storms of emerald winds, blowing away her foes from left and right.

“Just keep fighting; most of these were low-level anyway!”

Urbosa tried to cheer up her sister as she imbued thunder ki into her entire body, moving at lightning speed, evading weapon techniques and spells, and piercing the heads of her victims with her spear, killing dozens in a few seconds.

“Don’t give up...! We’re almost there! This will never end unless we take down the entire cult!”

Peperina roared as she fought bravely. Merkite and Urbosa, who knew her from before, could hardly believe this was the same cute and adorable little rabbit-kin receptionist from before.

Not only was she unleashing devastating hammer and axe techniques using her shapeshifting blazing weapon, but her entire body was set ablaze, burning and tearing through her foes with her bare blazing claws.

“Hahahah! Fiery Hair loves to fight to the death! Let us see who is more superior in strength, orcs or humans!”

As she roared, Fiery Hair rushed like a blazing meteor across the thousands of foes alone; her body was near indestructible; any physical or magical attack that hit her barely did any damage; and her flames easily burned through foes as she punched and kicked them, generating blazing explosions. She alone singlehandedly killed over a hundred foes already!

“Hah, without a doubt, that woman’s a monster!”

Mursha smiled as she saw Fiery Hair fighting with all her might. She felt inspired. Rapidly swinging her axe as she imbued her body with her newfound and stronger Spiritual and Primal Powers combined together with Ki and Mana, she didn’t like to admit it, but she had become a catastrophe of her own close to Fiery Hair herself.

Her giant axe cleaved through foes from left and right, dozens dying against her powerful abilities with her weapons. Her rapid movements and her amazing reaction speed allowed her to easily evade incoming blows.

And above all,

“We got her! Kill Mursha!”

As she was surrounded by over thirty warriors at once, who released their weapon techniques and spells at her, Mursha’s body glowed with a black, dark aura of shadows.

Several shadows encompassed her entire body, suddenly dragging her into the ground and making her disappear. All the warriors ended up hitting each other, confused about where Mursha was!

FLUOSH!

She appeared behind them, smiling.

“I am still getting the hang of it, but this power is pretty damn useful!” she said. “Thank you, Bloodfang Wolf Spirit, for this last gift of yours!”

“My body can’t move normally?!”

“Who are these things?! Demons?!”

“Dammit! Aaaggh! Don’t impale my ass!”

The cultist leader’s eyes widened as he saw these one hundred mischievous creatures quickly sending half of his army into an uproar! Demons were one of the few species that could turn completely incorporeal with ease, simply appearing and disappearing from the view of their foes with ease and cursing them from their backs.

The dumb and big warriors that were easily brainwashed by the cultist of the barbarian god weren’t the smartest either, easily being deceived by the petty tricks and curses of the demons, beginning to fall on their knees, scream in horror, or even begin fighting one another in confusion.

“W-Wha...?! How is this possible?!” screamed the cultist leader. “Demons?! How come that woman can command demons?!”

He had not seen them before because the Demons mostly decided to remain incorporeal while eating their foes’ souls. But after Bing Xue allowed them to, they finally showed themselves to the world, and started fighting directly instead of taking down what was left behind.

“Fufufu~ You see quite confused, dear cultist,” suddenly, a demoness appeared behind the huge orc, his eyes widening.

“I wasn’t able to even sense her coming!” He panicked internally, facing the woman in front of him.

It was nobody else than Belze, with her long black hair, adorable and mischievous smile, and her blue-colored mask face, along with her big, golden eyes. He had to admit that her petite body and adorable appearance made her look very beautiful, but he couldn’t be deceived! She was a demon!

“Y-You! How were you able to infiltrate my defense troops?!” The man screamed, pointing his staff at her, and firing a red beam. “Die, demon!”

“Oh my, what’s that-”

BOOOM!

The ray of crimson light engulfed Belze entirely. The cultist smiled as he could swear he saw her being disintegrated by his powerful beam! He was one of the very few Warlocks in the Tower that could wield the Element of War and Bloodshed that his God wielded as pure magic.

This meant that his magic could deal much more damage than other elements, and even more damage while being surrounded by a war or battle, making it extremely lethal.

“She’s dead, nothing but- Hm? A mask?”

The cultist leader grabbed a blue-colored mask from the floor, wondering if this was some sort of dropped item from the demon once it was slain.

However, the blue mask suddenly smiled as its eyes glowed bright red.

“Heheheheh~ It's been a while since I’ve fought someone as strong as you~”

“Eh?!”

The cultist immediately dropped the mask on the floor, as he saw a large quantity of darkness, shadows, and blood gathering around the mask; this even contained the blood and flesh pieces of his soldiers.

FLUOSH!

And within mere seconds, Belze was “reborn”. Her petite and cute body was back in the world of mortals, now with a new pair of arms, three tails, longer golden horns, and a second pair of crimson eyes above her golden eyes, resembling eyebrows in a way.

“Fufufu~! Fuahahaha!” She continued to laugh maniacally; the cultist instinctively gave a step back. Not through his entire life had he fought a demon before, so he had no idea what they were truly capable of. “This is fantastic! Usually, our contracts are based on the strength of our master’s souls. And can you guess just how powerful our master’s soul is? This contractor... She’s sure a keeper! I want her all for myself! Aaahhh~! I want more! More of her Mana and that other energy... Ki, was it?”

Suddenly, the demoness smiled as her claws glowed brightly, gathering golden-colored Ki, a power that Demons had never wielded before but that she could now wield thanks to the contract with Bing Xue.

“Master didn’t have that much Mana, you see... but she made up for it with this other, much more robust and richer energy...” Belze licked her lips, as her long black hair waved from the pressure winds provoked by her growing aura. “Shall we give it a try?”

“Hah! To think I would have to fight a demon from all things!” The orc smiled, quickly throwing away his cloak to reveal two more pairs of muscular arms. “Bring it, spawn of the Deepest Darkness!”
