976 Unleashing Their Cards (6)
“What are you planning?” While Noel was watching the incoming flying demons, the soldiers were moving around to activate the weapons Noel had invented.
They were similar to the ballistas, but he modified them to be very long. Instead of using a real javelin, Noel actually used the Rune Spear as its ammunition.
“Get ready!” The people shouted while aiming at the flying demons.
“Remember! We’ll be aiming at the demons in the sky.”
“Yes, sir!”
The soldiers acknowledged the order as Grandell informed Noel, “Everything is ready, sir!”
Noel nodded. “Load them up and wait until I give a signal to fire.”
Grandell nodded and hurriedly relayed the order. “Load them up!”
“Ha!”
There were a total of five weapons. When they heard the order, they immediately put a demon crystal into the barrel, activating the Rune Spear. When the rune spear was in place, they activated the second rune.
The reason this weapon had a long barrel was because they wanted to create a longer launch pad. At the tip of the launch pad, they placed a Multiplication Rune, the rune that Anna used back when they helped the saintess.
The Multiplication Rune could multiply an object made of spiritual energy, so they couldn’t use the real spear.
After that, they used the Spiritual Barrier Rune to hold the spear in place while activating the fourth rune, which was the Momentum Rune. They charged the spear with all the momentum they could get, creating a very long-range weapon.
Noel squinted his eyes, staring at the flying demons. He was pretty sure that there would be a Superior Demon taking care of them. So, he wanted to find it and kill this Superior Demon as soon as possible.
Unfortunately, Qiel seemed to have learned about their current plan, so she wouldn’t be too reckless in spending all her force.
“It seems that I can’t force her for the time being.” Noel looked at Qiel in the distance. Her area was extremely guarded, so it was clear that even if he aimed all his weapons toward her, she would still be fine. Hence, he chose to focus on the incoming flying demons. “Fire!”
Grandell relayed the message out loud. “Fire!”
“Fire!” All the soldiers in charge of the weapons shouted.
The soldiers deactivated the Spiritual Barrier Rune that held the Rune Spear in place before using the Enhance Forward Rune, shooting the Rune Spear into the sky.
However, before leaving the weapon, it passed through the Multiplication Rune at the tip of its barrel. The rune copied the spear and produced seven similar spears around it with the same intensity and speed.
Forty rune spears flew into the sky, heading straight toward the incoming flying demons.
The demons let out a cry and started evading, but more than seventy percent of the spear still hit their targets due to their speed, instantly killing their target.
The soldiers began to charge the weapons again, ready to shoot them into the air. Although the number of shots was quite low, it was a pretty effective weapon. Even Noel didn’t believe that they could defeat all these demons just by relying on these weapons.
In fact, there was a reason why the weapons looked similar to each other. It was because they didn’t have enough time to invent these weapons.
Even though Noel was the creator of the rune, invention still took time. Noel only had about two months after he returned to the city. He rushed the blacksmith to complete not only the building and facility but also the new weapons. With that high workload, this was the only way to get most of the things he wanted.
Roel and the others were completely exhausted and couldn’t even participate in this battle.
That was why the ballistas were the main form of their weapons and placed them inside the room within the wall. He wanted these ballistas to target the gigantic demons because they were simply too big.
The second weapon was just a modified version of the ballista. Instead of a chamber for an arrow, they created a big container to shoot out the demon crystals. They wanted to rain on the enemies with the Rain of Light Rune. This was the Ardagan Family’s main attack in thinning out the enemy’s number.
And last but not least were these anti flying demon ballistas which were used to reduce the flying demon’s number before they reached their city wall.
Instead of creating a new and completely different design, Noel chose to just modify the main design, which was still pretty effective and efficient.
“Kill them all.” Noel shouted. He hoped that these weapons could at least kill five hundred flying demons before they could reach this place. The remaining five hundred had to be eliminated through other methods.
While they were occupied with the flying demons, the demons on the other sides began to move.
All two Superior Demons from each side actually ordered their army to fully commit to destroying the barrier. The Superior Demons also came toward the barrier.
“!!!” The Water Lord, Duke Briton, Milfa, and Aurelia couldn’t help but clench their fists. The Superior Demons had finally begun to move. Each of them had to take care of two Superior Demons as well as four thousand demons.
“This is not looking good.” The Water Lord furrowed his eyebrows. He hurriedly controlled the water elemental to disengage the melee and prepared for the Superior Demons. The two Superior Demons he was fighting were a giant python and a snail. The snail slowly made its way toward the barrier, while the python swiftly came toward the elemental.
The water elemental opened its arm before trying to choke the python, but the latter actually swirled around as though it was avoiding the fight. The python was looping around to hit Noel from the side.
“I won’t make the same blunder.” The Water Lord hurriedly caught up and grabbed the python, but this was only a distraction the python made. Because of how it moved, the body was right next to the elemental.
The python covered its giant body with spiritual energy and started wrapping the elemental as though the water had a hard physical form.
It then overpowered the body and crushed it, causing the body of water to splash.
“!!!” The Water Lord widened his eyes and hurriedly waved his hands. The water from the pit rose again and repaired the elemental body before grasping the python so that it wouldn’t get away.
However, the snail, which was moving slowly at first, suddenly reached the barrier.
“Huh?!” The Water Lord was stunned. “Since when…”
The snail moved on top of the body that the demon created and started climbing the barrier as if it were defying gravity. Although the snail wasn’t as big as the python, it was still two meters in height.
What took the Water Lord’s focus was the green-colored trail the snail left behind.
“What is that…” The Water Lord glanced at the ground that the snail had crossed earlier, noticing that the soil was actually melting. “Poison?! Not good!”
The Water Lord realized that the snail was planning to cover the entire barrier with poison so that it would melt sooner or later. Even if the saintess could repair the barrier continuously, she would deplete more energy than necessary.
“I’m not planning to make the same blunder again!” The Water Lord roared while pointing his left palm toward the trail.
All of a sudden, the green-colored liquid gathered in a single place and formed a green elemental.
“The reason I’m called the Water Lord is not because I can only control water, they simply have no other title that can fit my name!” The Water Lord made a grasping motion. All of a sudden, the snail stopped on its tracks as if its body refused to move.
For the first time, the snail glanced at the Water Lord.
The green elemental grabbed the snail and tossed it back to the ground. The python tried to move, but its body also refused to move when the Water Lord utilized his true power.
“What I control is not water, it’s liquid! Don’t think you can get away from me, you lowly demons!” The Water Lord looked at the demons with murderous intent, but it seemed that controlling that power took a toll on his body because blood suddenly flowed out of the corner of his mouth. In the end, even if he used that power, the Superior Demons would feel it and resist with their own energy.
Ultimately, the Water Lord expended more energy to win in the battle of control. And he also needed to take down the remaining four thousand demons around him.
Duke Briton was also facing a similar situation. Instead of a snail and a python, the Superior Demons on his side were a horse and a chicken. .𝒎
The horse charged toward the barrier while the chicken barely flew and glided on the air by flapping its wings. It couldn’t even fly more than two meters into the air, but the speed increased due to the process.
The chicken and the horse ended up reaching the barrier at the same time.
Duke Briton hurriedly sent forth two giant sharks to meet them. The horse looked like it was about to get devoured, but it actually created a translucent barrier in front of it and crashed into the shark.
The shark withstood the horse’s barrier for a second, cracking it. However, the horse increased its momentum and broke apart the shark.
On the other hand, the chicken acted like a ‘chicken’ and actually flew away to avoid the shark. 𝘳.𝑐𝘰
“!!!” Duke Briton wasn’t concerned at first, but the chicken was actually heading in a different direction. Instead of sliding to the v-shaped area between him and Milfa, the chicken actually went straight to Milfa. “What?!”
Milfa, who had to fight a tiger and a fox, had to deal with an additional opponent.
“…” Milfa squinted her eyes. Even though she was capable of dealing with them, the four thousand demons were also going straight to her.
“It seems that I have to go all out. They are seriously going to create a path here, the farthest spot from the northern wall as well as not affiliated with the Moon Temple.” Milfa took a deep breath. Since she would be their target, Milfa closed his eyes for a moment.
When she opened it again, her eyes were exuding a faint white light. Her body started to float in the air as numerous sphere-shaped lights appeared around her.
“Even the kids from the dance group are doing their best. I have concealed my power for so long, so I guess it’s time to show it a little bit.” Milfa waved her hand down.
In that instant, all those light spheres flew toward the incoming demons. They passed through the barrier even though Layla didn’t allow it. That power even confused Layla.
However, these light spheres skillfully flew around and hit the demons, killing one demon after another. Some of them also flew toward the fox and the tiger to keep them in check.
*Roar!*
Another wave of demons was about to reach the wall, but Milfa simply reproduced all the bullets that had hit their target and immediately sent them toward these incoming demons.
*Roa—!*
The demons fell down one after another, not being able to fight back.
Looking at this, the chicken hurriedly shot out numerous feathers to stop the bullets.
*Boom!*
*Boom!*
*Boom!*
They caused a small shock wave, but Milfa simply reproduced them right away and waved her hand to the side.
The bullets hurriedly rushed to the chicken, forcing it to protect its body with its wings. The bullets couldn’t penetrate the wings, but Milfa didn’t stop producing them and sending the bullet into a single spot until it pierced through the wing.
*Cookle?!* The chicken was shocked.
The tiger let out a roar. Its sound wave shook the barrier. The fox also did a similar thing. It gathered its energy in the mouth before letting out a beam that caused a massive impact on the barrier.
However, those attacks allowed Milfa to send out multiple spheres toward them. The two Superior Demons tried to avoid it, but surprisingly, there were a few bullets coming out of the ground, taking them by surprise.
“!!!” The Superior Demons were completely shocked. Even the other demons couldn’t get too close to the barrier because there were still enough bullets to suppress them.
Milfa was floating in the air, looking at everything around her and controlling more than a hundred light spheres at once while reproducing them at a constant rate. Her ethereal figure was like that of a god of war who would not let a single enemy pass.
“It seems that not fighting for the rank in the Demon Banner Army makes you think that I am an easy opponent. However, just to let you know, even Shale doesn’t dare claim he is first if I’m competing.” Milfa waved her hands, killing yet another dozen demons. Even the Superior Demons were hesitant to attack in case Milfa used that opportunity to injure them like earlier.
Among the reinforcements Noel got from the Demon Banner Army, Dimitri always told Noel that Milfa was actually the best thing they could get. After all, not only was Milfa Dimitri’s mentee, but he claimed that Milfa possessed a strength similar to his. Yes, Dimtiri, who was a candidate for the commander position of the Demon Banner Army, thought of her that highly.
And it seemed that his words were for a reason.
