Chapter 89: Mighty Warrior (2)

The Land Worms were jumping around everywhere.

Even though the brown-colored mana wasn't specifically targeted at someone, it was useless. The moment the Land Worms entered, many spirits died and the spirits that survived instinctively started to attack them. Since both sides were fighting to live, it was extremely violent.

It was a mess. Piles of corpses were either flying in the air or being buried in the ground. Every time the Land Worm's body hit the ground, the earth shook violently.

The spirits' screams filled the air. The siege weapons were now targeted towards the Land Worms instead of the walls, but aiming was meaningless because they couldn't tell the difference between the two. On top of that, the Free City was attacking as well. Arrows filled the air and the spirits that were fighting the Land Worms had no choice but to die.

A thousand spirits wasn't a small number.

However, it didn't mean that they were able to look after each other on the battlefield. The chaos that began in the center spread out to other parts of the battlefield like wildfire.

"Skulllll!"

Skull and the soldiers that followed him passed through the left side of the battlefield. Agares's troops were made up of different types of spirits and they were separated based on that.

Skull's decision to go left wasn't on impulse. The group before them was made up of Goblins, Imps and Orcs and the soldiers that were with Skull just didn't have the ability to fight them.

A head exploded. Skull used his war hammer to cast a thunder spell and destroyed an Orc's head. Skull then tightened his grip on his hammer and instead of aiming for the next target, he commanded Nightmare to continue running.

The soldiers that stopped couldn't do their jobs. On top of that, evading large monsters such as the Golems, Ogres and Trolls was a lot better compared to fighting them. Skull's war hammer helped fight against the enemy as well as clear the path for the soldiers following him.

Even though there were only a dozen soldiers, it was enough. One group that didn't stop fighting fought against a group of enemy spirits that also had about a dozen in the group.

Skull and Nightmare rushed through the group and were now outside of the battlefield. Skull's hammer was covered in blood and brain and as Skull loosened his grip, he looked out into the distance. An extravagant and flashy fire filled the sky.

"Skullll!"

Skull screamed again. Fire exploded on the right side of the battlefield, as if it was responding to Skull's scream.

"Roaaaaaaar!"

Fire enveloped both Salami and Yong-Ho as they turned into a javelin. They flew towards the ground where the shock and fire of their attack destroyed Agares's troops. Thanks to that, the battlefield became even more chaotic.

Salami didn't stop. The moment Yong-Ho swung Aamon and created a wave of fire, Salami flapped its wings again, and flew while looking straight ahead.

The Golem's fist targeted Salami. The extremely large Golem was created to block off its enemies and its fist was big enough to destroy both Salami and Yong-Ho with a single swing.

The single punch distorted the air. Salami barely missed the Golem's fist and flew up while riding the Golem's arm. Instead of targeting the Golem's head, Yong-Ho stretched Aamon out towards the other side of the ground and burned the ground by releasing his mana.

Kyahhhhhh!

A grotesque scream filled Yong-Ho's ears. Half of Agares's troops were insect-type monsters and they were weak against fire. Yong-Ho was releasing fire in various different areas and they didn't have the strength to go up against him. They would either fire sharp bullets or acid from a distance.

Salami flew higher. Yong-Ho took a deep breath and looked out into the distance. The Land Worms were still jumping up and down. Agares's troops looked like they weren't going to stand by and watch, because a Golem, large insect-type monsters and mages were put into the battlefield, however arrows that were shot from the Free City kept raining down on their heads.

The plan was a huge success. A thousand wasn't a small number, but if they kept doing this for a few more minutes, then that thousand would eventually break apart.

'They're going to fall apart.'

That was what Yong-Ho was expecting. And he started seeing it.

Agares's troops were in a chaotic state. While Agares was incorporating the dungeons that belonged to other owners, the spirits that were under his control couldn't really be considered his.

Just a little more.

A little more until they're completely defeated!

Boom!

The loud explosion came from the edge of the battlefield. There were many different sounds within the battlefield, but this one was distinct.

Yong-Ho instinctively turned his attention towards the sound. And he witnessed a whirlpool of mana that he had never seen before.

It was a monster.

The monster had six eyes, a huge jaw and a gray scale that was covering its head. There were bumps and horns on its long body and it had six legs, making the monster look like a spider. The monster also had a large tail with sharp thorns on the end.

It had a lot of arms too. Out of those arms, two of them that stretched out towards the sky caught Yong-Ho's attention. Those two arms were larger than the others and at the end of those arms, there were large blades that were about two meters long.

The monster released a large amount of mana and kicked off the ground. It started to approach the center of the battlefield. The arrows that filled the sky and the Land Worms that were jumping around weren't enough to stop it.

One of the Land Worms saw the monster. And the monster also saw that Land Worm. The monster didn't stop and started swinging the blades that were attached to its arms.

The blades broke the Land Worm's hard shell. Then, the monster cut off part of the Land Worm's head. It destroyed the Land Worm and poured acid onto the Land Worm's destroyed head.

The monster slashed it apart. Despite the fact that the Land Worm was quite big, the monster used its blades to quickly cut the body. The monster ripped it apart and used its teeth attached to its huge jaw to bite into it.

The Land Worm's blood and scream summed up what was happening. After ripping the Land Worm apart, the monster opened its mouth wide. It released a roar that shook the battleground.

Kyahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Silence came after the roar. Everyone on the battlefield looked at the monster. It seemed like time had stopped.

The monster looked around. Out of the six eyes, two of them looked towards the sky.

There was a purple light. Yong-Ho saw it and had a hunch. And then realized.

That was the demon king, Agares.

The one that came from the east to take over the south!

He roared again. He broke the time that had stopped.

More arms appeared on Agares's back. They were wings that were covered in film.

Out of the six eyes, two of them were still looking at Yong-Ho. But the remaining four were looking somewhere else.

The remaining two Land Worms roared and charged towards Agares. But it wasn't the roar of a predator. It was more like a desperation of trying to resist him.

Agares kicked off the ground. The Land Worms were three times bigger than him, but he was able to take them down. After cutting the Land Worms' bodies using his blades, he spread out his wings.

The Land Worms weren't dead yet. They still had the ability to fight. But Agares didn't waste his time on killing them. All six of his eyes were on the Free City's walls.

"Fire!"

Someone from the top of the wall yelled. That command was their signal to fire, but at the same time, it was also the beginning of fear.

Soldiers on top of the gate were scared. The arrows and cannonballs weren't hitting Agares.

Agares spread out his wings again. After kicking off the ground, he flapped once and soared into the air. He charged towards the walls.

Agares wasn't an ordinary monster. He was a demon king and had already destroyed several dungeons.

He was going to destroy the walls and stop them from attacking him. His troops were about to fall and in order to make time for them, he focused his attention on the Free City's walls.

There was also another reason.

Agares wanted to win. He wanted to put fear into them and after killing the leaders that were commanding them, he was going to destroy the Free City's troops.

His assumption was right. Just charging towards them was enough to instill fear into them. The battlefield was now under his control.

Kyahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

He roared. The predator's rage was strangling the necks of the prey. The acid that was pouring out of Agares's mouth covered the sky.

Boom!

There was a loud explosion. A part of the wall fell apart when Agares slammed his body against it and the soldiers near it shared the same fate as the spirits that were killed by the Land Worms. The acid that covered the sky landed on the soldiers that were on top of the wall, causing them to experience an agonising death.

Agares's eyes were all looking in different directions. A gleeful laugh escaped Agares's mouth when he saw soldiers charging towards him.

Oros took out the potion he had made earlier and injected it into his body. The potion made his large body even larger as he charged towards Agares. Even though he kept on swearing, he didn't stop.

Dargon was also casting a spell. He strengthened his body and grabbed his mace. The fighting spirit within him was talking. That monster is stronger than you. He's a lot stronger than you are. But he's not someone you can avoid. The leaders were the only ones that could go up against him and if they didn't do anything, he would kill everyone.

Ophelia made her decision. This wasn't the time to hide her strength. All three of her horns were now showing and she released all the power she had obtained by becoming Yong-Ho's spirit.

Agares didn't wait for them. He broke the wall and charged. His first target was Oros.

Oros swung his scimitar. But it didn't reach Agares. Agares was about four meters tall and was known to be extremely violent. His two blades attacked Oros and caused him to fly in the air. Oros tightened his grip on his scimitar. One of the blades had cut open at least half of his chest.

Even in that moment, Agares's eyes didn't stop moving. All of his eyes were moving in different directions and was watching everything that was happening.

Agares spread his wings when he saw Dargon and Ophelia attacking from behind. He violently bit into Oros's body. He jumped into the air and spat Oros towards Dargon and Ophelia.

Dargon stopped. Opehlia dodged Oros by kicking off the ground. Agares saw her. He flapped his wings to fly higher and then released acid towards the ground.

His six eyes were moving once again. He saw that his troops were starting to kill the Land Worms and the Free City that was now completely filled with fear. He also saw Dargon casting a healing spell on Oros while Ophelia was glaring at him with hatred. He also noticed the soldiers of the Free City crying out in pain because of his acid.

And his last eye noticed something else.

It was a Dark Elf that had black magic wrapped around her. She was standing on top of the gate with a dagger in her hand and was looking up towards the sky.

Agares had a hunch. He quickly moved his eyes and was trying to find the one that was supposed to be on this battlefield. Despite the fact that he focused all of his attention on the battlefield, he didn't appear.

The Dark Elf moved. Agares noticed something with his senses, not his eyes. He quickly turned around and looked up.

The fiery lance was charging. It was coming straight down from the sky and he could feel a large amount of mana accompany it.

Agares moved his body. While flapping his wing, he swung his blades. He also released some of his acid.

Yong-Ho saw all of it. While Agares was charging towards the walls, instead of chasing after him, he flew up high just for this very moment.

Salami released fire and burned the acid. Yong-Ho didn't wait and threw himself towards Agares's blades.

Yong-Ho focused. He saw the flow of mana. It was a very clear indicator.

Agares's blades cut the air. Salami and Agares were very close to each other. All six of his eyes were on Yong-Ho and Yong-Ho used Aamon to attack while looking at his eyes. He released the lump of mana that he had condensed!

The green mana attacked Agares's back. The heat melted his thick shell.

There was some distance between Salami and Agares. Instead of looking back at Agares, Yong-Ho commanded Salami. Salami charged towards the gate.

"Catalina!"

He yelled. Catalina jumped off the gate. Ophelia followed behind her. The two spirits jumped into the air and got on top of the flying Salami.

Salami rotated in the air. Salami's back felt heavier and because it was flying around so much, it also felt tired. However, he endured it. After Agares fell from Yong-Ho's mana, he charged straight towards him.

Agares saw Salami. He endured the pain and spread his wings. Instead of falling, he flew and instead of running away, he charged towards Yong-Ho and Salami.

He didn't clash into them this time either. Salami and Agares missed each other.

But it was different from before.

The green fire grew bigger. The fire blocked the sight of all six of his eyes.

Yong-Ho didn't charge at him. He focused on Salami and Agares's mana. He commanded while dodging the blades.

Catalina and Ophelia leaped. The two spirits jumped in different directions and got on Agares's back. They listened to Yong-Ho's command and became his sword.

Catalina used her dagger that was enveloped in dark mana and Ophelia used her weapon to cut off Agares's wings.

Only

Agare's back was already weak because of Yong-Ho's fire and his wings weren't strong enough to endure their attacks. His wings eventually broke.

Agares released a painful scream. Catalina and Ophelia jumped off Agares's back and threw themselves toward Salami and Yong-Ho.

The fire died down. Salami could no longer fly and headed towards the ground. Yong-Ho looked back while holding Catalina and Ophelia. The wingless Agares smashed himself to the ground while screaming.

But this wasn't the end.

Agares roared as if it was trying to forget about the pain. All six of his eyes were looking at Yong-Ho.

Yong-Ho didn't dodge Agares's eyes. He released his mana while showing his four horns.

Yong-Ho tightened his grip on Aamon.
