Chapter 134.2, Devilishness (2)
In this world, there exist terrifying races that can rival an entire army with just a single individual.
For example, dragons, which are compared to natural disasters. For example, high-ranking demons, who are representatives of the rebellion against God, and high-ranking angels who are said to be the representatives of God’s wrath. Those beings that are often even mentioned in mythologies, are worthy of caution even for those that are called demons by the humans.
And now, the faction of the ‘Demon King of Evernight’, that had taken down many human towns and was increasing its power, was being violently attacked by a single demonic being.
An undead, a vampire. The abominable being that was both a human and a demon.
The humans fear and loathe demons, but that doesn’t mean that the demons themselves are on good terms with each other. However, it’s originally impossible for vampires to attack demons.
The undead instinctually seek out the souls of the same kind, and most of the vampires with high intelligence have long since been incorporated in armies led by the mighty undead Demon Kings, such as the ‘Stake King’, who have challenged the Order of Death Knights head-on.
Even if there was a stray vampire, why would they attack the faction of the demons rather than the humans that are easier to hunt?
The human towns that had been captured and put under their rule, were already taken back. The army of the Demon King of Evernight was powerful. A large number of dark elf mages, who had mastered magic, which was becoming more and more obsolete due to the development of science and technology and their tactics of destroying the enemies from afar while strong demons and the Golems placed in vanguard served as walls, helped them bring down several town without any remarkable losses. Their offensive abilities were powerful, but the power they displayed in defense should have been incomparable to that.
However, the defenses that had been set up in the cities they had taken to serve as a foothold for the next invasion were of no use.
