Chapter 543
The Battle for Serandia continued.
Monsters spewed fire and lightning from their mouths, but humans answered back, unleashing bolts of lightning and flames from their fingertips.
On the battlefield from which winter had long since retreated, there was little difference between the lives of humans and monsters.
Gouts of flame crisscrossed the sky, with no way to know which had been unleashed by monster and which by mage, causing massive explosions. Artillery pieces stationed at the rear hammered the waves of monsters, crushing, burning, or freezing hundreds of them to death.
Just as the Demon King knew that different sorts of attacks were needed to kill different monsters, so did humans.
The optimal method was physical strikes, but performing such attacks inevitably carried significant risk.
Crack!
A soldier was killed without even a scream, his body severed at the waist by a single bite from a monster.
Squelch!
In an instant, a heavy hammer struck the monster’s maw, shattering its skull.
Bang!
The monster that charged at the hammer-wielder, trying to land a headbutt, crashed into a glowing white shield.
