Chapter 392
The massacre was short-lived, however, as the general noticed the lesser demons actively avoiding direct confrontation. The momentum of the Ogre army faltered as their enemies’ evasive maneuvers left them disoriented. This confusion deepened as the demons seemed to ignore their attackers, refusing to engage.
For the Ogres, nothing was more disheartening than being disregarded on the battlefield. Yet, they pressed on, their sense of duty compelling them to continue—even if killing enemies who wouldn’t fight back felt dishonorable.
Then, the general and his army noticed an approaching force of demons moving directly toward them. For the first time, the general smiled, pleased to face a worthy challenge. He let out a roar as he and his men charged to meet the oncoming enemy.
As the distance closed, the general’s expression grew serious. This was no ordinary demon force. Leading them were two figures—one male, the other female—whose power was on par with his own.
The sight made him realize that the hybrids they had fought before were pale imitations of the real thing. The three fifth-stage powerhouses locked eyes as their armies collided in a cacophony of chaos, the battlefield trembling under the weight of their clash.
The battle begins with Gorgar the ogre general raising his halberd high, slamming it into the ground. His Titan’s Crucible erupts into being, as the space around twisted into a battlefield of shifting stone and jagged rock. Massive pillars rise and fall at his will, while deep chasms open randomly, threatening to swallow anything unlucky enough to step on unstable ground.
Drakthar the male demon snarls, activating his Dread Labyrinth. Shadows engulf the terrain as webs spread across the battlefield, providing him with anchoring points and hidden paths. Zythera completes the environment by summoning her Ethereal Web, overlaying an invisible lattice of magical threads that hum with latent power.
Gorgar charges forward, each step sending tremors rippling through the ground. He hurls his halberd, the spearhead glowing with gravitational energy. The weapon arcs toward Zythera, but she deflects it with a fiery shield. Drakthar uses the distraction to leap toward Gorgar, aiming for a direct strike with his venomous claws.
The ogre meets Drakthar mid-air, summoning a stone pillar that launches the spider demon upward. As Drakthar tumbles, Gorgar recalls his halberd with a gravitational pull, spinning it in a wide arc to repel any follow-up attacks.
