Chapter 285: The battle is over
Vlad smiled as the surge of strength coursed through his body, the massive influx of Origin Force from Lamorto’s defeated form reinvigorating him. Although the golden force was far from enough to push his body beyond Level 15 and enter the Guardian Tier, it granted him the physical power needed to continue fighting.
With a deep breath, Vlad’s muscles surged with renewed vigor. His senses heightened as he gazed across the battlefield, the A.I. Chip showing every single detail.
The forces of the Xaos Kingdom were cutting through the demons with brutal efficiency from every front, with more than one hundred and forty thousand demons killed by this point. However, despite that massacre, there were still a lot of demons left, and the longer it dragged on, the greater the risk of casualties.
Vlad’s eyes narrowed as he activated the full power of his Inferno Comet Runic Set, covering his body in demonic flames full of explosive might. Lightning crackled violently across his form, his energy bursting forth as he prepared for the next phase of the battle.
Meanwhile, Jormungandr, leading the charge of the three hundred Champions, moved like a blur. Every swipe of his claws obliterated scores of demonic beasts. Deep in the fray, killing everything in his path without pause, his A.I. Chip suddenly pinged with an urgent message. Pausing for just a moment, the small yellow cat took a deep breath and focused his energy before roaring:
"Battle Strategy Number 3. Now!"
The command echoed like thunder across the battlefield. No further explanation was needed—the soldiers knew exactly what to do. The three hundred Champions immediately shifted formation with precision, grouping tighter and forcing the demonic beasts back to create a clear defensive perimeter.
The same command reached the vikings and Xaos soldiers battling in the center of the warzone. Brigadier General Mitchel and Grey Hawk immediately took control, their voices booming as they directed their soldiers to pull back, herding the demonic horde into a tighter area.
The soldiers began repelling the demons from three directions, forming an impenetrable wall with their shields and weapons. Tens of thousands of demons were driven into the center of the battlefield, trapped like rabid beasts, snarling and bloodthirsty. They scraped the earth with their claws and howled in rage, desperately trying to break free and attack.
The sight was nightmarish—a mass of monstrous creatures, frenzied and violent, their glowing eyes filled with madness. It just needed a flaw in the soldiers’ formation, and many would die.
Luckily, before the demons could find their opening, a figure engulfed in flames and lightning descended from the sky like a meteor.
"¡BOOOOOM!"
