Chapter 250: To the war (I)
As Vlad’s forces advanced through Knight City, the battalions stationed in Santana City and Canvas City experienced significant transformations, demonstrating the effects of the comprehensive strategy of Vlad and Overlord to improve those groups.
Freya, with her indomitable spirit and warrior prowess, led the charge in Santana City alongside the 19 Bloodline Soldiers. Their battalion had initially emerged from Trigun City, wary of what they would find in the new city.
Santana City did not disappoint. It was devoid of human activity and full of demonic forces, with some small yet powerful angelic squads. The enemies were strong, but the 19 Bloodline Soldiers’ battalion overcame the adversities.
Freya’s immense might and the dozens of Demon Soul Masters among their ranks gave the 19 Bloodline Soldiers’ battalion great power. The warriors became a relentless force, sweeping through the demonic hordes that infested the city.
The battalion moved with calculated precision, each battle honing their instincts and refining their strategies. Their victories were marked by the capture and sealing of numerous demon Champion souls, which were integrated into the soldiers’ bodies, transforming them into Demon Soul Masters. With each integration, the battalion’s power surged, allowing them to fight with greater strength and take down stronger enemies.
Additionally, every time they defeated a horde, waves of Origin Force reached their souls, nurturing their Sea of Consciousness and flesh and blood, improving their level cap, and enhancing their soul force, and vitality.
After several arduous battles inside Santana City, Freya became a symbol of resilience and leadership. She was able to develop her unique leadership style, relying on her immense power and action to inspire those around her. Under her guidance, the battalion became a cohesive unit of destruction.
The Xaos Kingdom’s forces in Santana City soon transformed from simply hunters to predators, demonstrating the potential of the Demon Soul Master Strength System, becoming a nightmarish entity to the demonic horde and angelic groups. The transformation was not only in their raw power but also in their mindset and strategy, as they learned to adapt to the evolving challenges of an environment completely new.
That was one of the main goals of their charge into Santana City, as it would teach them how to face unknown dangers and adapt to a scenario they had no control over. After all, the Azarin Empire’s capital was bound to be a realm of unpredictable danger.
