Even though a huge number of soldiers flocked towards Riya, she walked forward unafraid.
Many soldiers wondered what was the identity of the woman as this was the first time they had seen someone like her.
Riya, unfazed by everyone's gaze, just stepped forward.
Her eyes just observed everything calmly and as they came closer, her eyes gleamed with a purplish gleam and a purple aura radiated from her.
Swoosh!
All of them who were drawing their swords at Riya a moment ago suddenly stopped.
"Huh!"
"What's going on?"
"Why are we attacking her?"
"What happened, why are you aiming your sword at us?"
The soldiers murmured as they looked at their teammates with confusion. They tried to recall what had transpired here but their memory was quite hazy.
Noah immediately took over the command and shouted"You all have been hypnotised by the succubus and you are attacking the allies."
"Now everyone get back to the formation, the enemies are pushing ahead."
Although it was an order to retreat, they weren't able to step back as the enemies pushed forward.
The soldiers who were freed now were struggling to fight properly as their senses were still dull.
Riya's eyes swept across the battlefield and she fixed her gaze on the group of succubi hiding there.
She also had a similar power but she didn't like using that power so much.
It wasn't that she was afraid but rather she was embarrassed to use it.
Riya stepped forward and her figure disappeared.
THUD!
Riya's figure landed near the enemy formation and she was surrounded by the enemies who were shocked to see her appearing there but soon an amusing smile bloomed on the faces of the three succubi.
"What a brazen girl?"
"Tear all her limbs. Don't kill her."
CLANG!
Riya stopped the sword with her dagger and a shockwave swept across the battlefield.
Riya turned her head and saw that she was surrounded and all of them were demons who were smiling at her.
They looked down at her thinking that she was the foolish lamb who just jumped into a pit but soon they were going to be proved wrong.
BANG!
Riya's figure flashed and she moved like thunder, it was followed by a shock wave that would make many lose their balance.
In the centre of the shockwave, Riya stood behind the two demons' backs and soon two heads fell to the ground.
"You...."
The Demon's expressions were distorted and all of them roared in anger.
"Kill her!"
Demons charged towards Riya from all around.
Riya stared at them coldly and raised her dagger.
BOOM!
A demon body flew back after being hit by Riya which was followed by another attack.
Riya jumped back dodging the scythe that passed under her and threw her dagger.
POP!
A demon's head burst like a watermelon.
The dagger that was thrown retained its rotation and changed its trajectory in the mid-air and dug into the neck of another demon.
Daggers shot out from Riya and with each throw, a corpse fell.
The end of the daggers was tied with string with which he changed their trajectories in the mid-air.
As Riya dealt with the demons flocking their way, it drew a lot of attention.
The soldiers of Arkham used this opportunity to counterattack.
The necromancer and black wizard still made it difficult for them to push through the front lines while the resistance had lessened as Riya was taking the charge.
It was at that time, a strong gust of dark mana radiated and a fog of miasma appeared and hit them out of nowhere.
"Aghhh!'
"Ughhh!"
Groans erupted from the Arkham soldiers as they felt the piercing pain of burning skin on being hit by miasma.
Their mind became fuzzy and they staggered to keep their steps.
"Saintess Helena, "Nolan shouted looking at the Saintess.
Helena and her squads immediately rushed forward.
The bright light emitted from them poured over the place.
The holy light gushed forward and collided with the miasma.
The scene was similar to two waves of tsunamis clashing against each other trying to overpower one another.
The battle lasted for a while and soon the miasma was dispersed.
But it was too soon to relax as another wave came after which waves of dark miasma flooded one after another.
"What is going on? Where does another wave come from?"Noah spoke with a frustrated expression
Riya who was fighting the demons suddenly had a bad premonition.
"Something is wrong."She muttered while slicing the one at the front and trying to move towards the allied forces.
As she killed her way, she found that the Demons had suddenly become stronger and fiercer.
And on top of that, she felt the presence of a few ominous being rushing towards her.
Swish!Swish!Swish!
Leaving a dark trail, a group of shadowy figures made their way.
There were some Knights who tried to stop them but they were cut short by them.
One of them wielded two crescent-shaped blades. Every step he took was accompanied by a fall of the body of the enemy.
Behind him, many hurled their way.
Riya found it hard to break through as the demons tried to drag her down to death.
It was at that moment, she saw the happy expression of the demons which he cut.
Riya's eyes widened and her senses screamed of danger.
BOOOM!
Flames soared up to the sky accompanied by thundering explosions one after another.
All the demons around Riya self-detonated to kill her, which doesn't make any sense as many of them still hadn't even engaged with her.
But if one looked a little back, one could see a few smiling figures
Seeing them it was easier to figure it out. It was an order received from the succubi behind.
The smile on the succubus didn't last long enough as a few meters away from the blast, Riya's figure emerged from the shadow with an ugly expression.
Riya observed the situation getting out of hand as Demons started to slaughter like maniacs.
Their crazy laughter echoed throughout the field as they ran in a frenzy.
Helena found it hard to control the dark miasma that was overwhelming them.
She knew that if they succumbed to it, the situation would turn worse so she tried to resist but it wasn't enough.
"Goddess, I know I lack a lot so it still provides me strength. Please grant me the power to assist the noble souls who are trying to purge the darkness."
"Please don't abandon those who are seeking justice on your behalf."Helena prayed in her heart while gritting her teeth and pouring out all her divinity trying to overpower the miasma.
On the other Demons fought happily.
"Who's gonna stop us? We have the power of a higher being who can overpower the light."
"We are Supreme."
"Your power of light can do nothing against us."
"Ahahahahah!"
The demons laughed crazily but stopped as they heard a sound of tearing from somewhere.
Helena's expression changed and she felt that her prayer was answered by the Goddess.
And then everyone looked up at the sky to see a twinkle followed by a human figure who slashed his sword followed by everything engulfed by bright light.
