Chapter 250 Victory?
It had been two hours since the intense battle against the demons had started, and now it was close to reaching its conclusion, as both armies clashed head-on, with humans having a clear advantage.
In the last two hours, the whole battlefield had transformed into a chaotic landscape of devastation as the relentless assault from the human army and the continuous bombardment from warships had taken a heavy toll, dismantling the demon defenses piece by piece.
The towering demon fortress that had once stood as a symbol of their power now lay in ruins, with large sections of it being reduced to rubble and its once-proud spires crumbling into debris.
The titanic creature towering hundreds of feet that the demon had unleashed on the human army lay dead, their bodies covered in countless wounds.
The demon commander, though injured, bleeding from head to toe with a deep gash on his shoulder, remained a formidable adversary, having managed to claim the lives of several captains, leaving a void in the human chain of command.
However, the toll of the long and grueling battle was beginning to take its toll on him, as fatigue was stelling in, and each swing of his mighty sword seemed to require more effort than the last.
The demon army, once numerous and formidable, had crumbled to nearly half of its original numbers, their ranks decimated by the unyielding resolve of the human forces.
The human army had also suffered significant losses, but their morale remained at an all-time high as they pressed on relentlessly, aiming to destroy the two demon portals in the distance.
The battlefield was a chaotic landscape of devastation, scattered with the wreckage of war machines, the scorched earth from magical explosions, and the bodies of fallen soldiers from both sides.
The air was thick with the pungent scent of smoke and the metallic tang of blood, while the distant sounds of clashes and cries reverberated like an eerie symphony of battle.
Amidst the chaos of battle, the cries of the fallen, the roars of demons, and the relentless shouts of human soldiers blended into a cacophony of chaos.
As the battle between the two armies continued, the death toll on both sides rose rapidly, but the human army pressed forward, driving back the demon forces inch by inch, determined to reach the portals and end the invasion.
The demons, without the presence of their war fortress, couldn’t hope to keep the soldiers from sneaking through them and reaching the two colossal portals, but still, the portals were not without protection.
The demons had prepared protection measures to protect the two portals, which ranged from gravitational fields and secondary barriers to hundreds of ground pulse cannons and various powerful fifth-rank demons as the last line of defense.
The overwhelming numbers of soldiers proved too much to handle for the demons, and minutes into the head-on clash, the demons were surrounding from three sides and were getting overwhelmed and pushed back.
the desire to be individual to close the portals.
The Thunder Knigth faction wasn’t the only one who had taken While members of various factions were slowly but surely taking down all the defenses around the portals one by one, each having the desire to be individual to close the portals.
The Thunder Knigth faction wasn’t the only one who had taken measures to close the portals, as every major or minor faction had made an effort, and even lone adventurers were pushing forwards to test their luck.
Their purpose was noble, but they all had different reasons, with most just wanting the glory of being the individual to close the gateway to hell and save the human continent.
After slaughtering hundreds of demons, Alex also made his way toward the frontlines, his eyes roaming the chaotic battlefield, surprised to see how many demon slaves were fighting against the demons protecting the portals. 𝙚𝙙𝙣𝒐𝙫𝙚𝙡.𝙤𝙧𝒈
Alex didn’t even try sneaking toward one of the portals seeing how chaotic the battlefield close to them was as demons were throwing their lives to protect them and were going on a rampage using external means to temporarily boost their strength.
Alex kept his eyes on the surrounding, knowing there was a possibility of demons’ reinforcement arriving as more than four million demons were missing, and so was any other war weaponry they brought with them.
Alex and every soldier who made little observation knew that the demon army was much smaller than it should be, but as the current focus was not hunting demons but closing the portals so the missing demons were of little concern.
The demons did their best to keep anyone from approaching the two-hundred-meter radius around the portals while destroying any magic scroll that someone activated, which resulted in them constantly engaging in battle, resulting in them getting killed.
As the battle raged on, the relentless determination of the human soldiers began to pay off, and fifteen tense minutes after the relentless siege started on the first portal, the group led by a noble from the Human Empire entered the gravitational field around the portal and activated a magic scroll.
The scroll activation was easy, but defending it for long enough for it to take effect was extremely hard, not just because of the relentless assault of the demons but because barely any human strong enough to help was willing to defend it with you.
Alex found it funny seeing a scroll being defended by only four individuals, and in the lead was Captain Aldwulf Ernisius, the person who took down the portal in his last life.
The funny thing to him was that even after using Appraisal and his unique eyes, he didn’t find any signs of Aldwulf being a demon slave or anyone from his group.
But seeing Aldwulf’s group defending against the relentless attacks of three peak fifth Rank high demons and hundreds of fourth Rank demons without experiencing much difficulty, as most attacks just miraculously missed them, made him question otherwise.
Alex stayed at the sidelines, having no intention of trying his luck on one of the portals, and as he expected, a few minutes later, Aldwulf Group made a run for their life as their scroll took effect and started to distort the very space in the surrounding.
The clash for a moment was halted by those in the vicinity as the space around the giant rune began to distort, warping and contorting against an unseen force, ripping apart the surrounding land and creating its gravitation field.
And moments later, a loud ripping sound permeated through the battlefield as a distortion in space itself, a rupture in space appeared that slowly started to become bigger before spreading like a spider web on a glass.
It took moments before the thin cracks, in reality, speared to hundreds of meters reaching the space portal and ripping apart any unfortunate soul that came in contact with them.
The pitch darkness of the void rapidly devoured the very fabric of reality, covering everything in a blanket of nothing of the void, and moments later, as the space slowly returned to normal, it left behind a scene of utter devastation.
The once-bustling battlefield was now a desolate expanse, scarred by the profound impact of the void energy and where the scroll once stood, there now lay a gaping hole, hundreds of feet deep and stretching for tens of meters.
The absence of the demon portal was the most visible change that brought a smile to every human soldier, and with the first portal gone, a sense of triumph and relief rippled through their ranks.
