Chapter 539: Presence (2/2)

Sufficed to say, everything within this domain is controlled and watched by Raven himself. Inside this place, he was a God. He also felt the emotional fluctuations of the Devils within and an amused chuckled escaped his lips.

”Huh…so you abominations could feel fear as well.”

His words were casually spoke but is filled with unparalleled will to Kill and Destroy. His words echoed to every soldiers heart, causing their bodies to fiercely jerk, not out of fear but from excitement.

This man's disdain towards the devils was one of a kind. His will was firm and contagious, every soldier soaked it up and felt high. Thanks to his presence, their minds were exceptionally clear and they could themselves getting stronger.

Raven took another step forward. As he did so, his domain expanded and frantically covered every corners of the broken floor. Now every human was influenced by his will and every devil were subjected to his mighty presence and felt fearful towards him.

He raised his left hand and waved it once again. This time, instead of destruction, something else happened. Every soldier's body were set ablaze.

Every single one of them were cloaked with pure white flames, their weapons included. Some soldiers were surprised but felt that this flames were hurting them at all. The same can't be said to the devils though.

”I blessed you with Cleansing Flames of Purity.” Raven's words sounded next to their ears. ”Let it fuel your weapons and use it to cleanse the filth of this place.”

His domineering voice echoed once more and it was then followed with a wave of heroic bellows from the soldiers.

Just with a few actions from him, the tide of this battle was tipped. Raven barely did anything yet the battle became more favorable to them.

Every single one this soldiers were influenced by his will. At a glance, one would think that they turned mad and went berserk but that's not the case at all. Raven's powerful will just dug out the untapped potential, allowing them to perform well in this dire situation.

His presence alone was a massive boost to every soldier's morale. Additionally, with his help, the casualties went down considerably.

Everyone was blood-thirsty, under his watch, Raven could see how well this soldiers were performing. Every time that he sensed that someone's in danger, he would interfere by lifting a finger. That might not be much but do well in remembering that everything was inside his domain. This simple action of his could blow up any devil around, as well as saving someone from dying.

This was also the time when Raven witnessed what kind of power Battle Maids truly have.

His gaze lingered on Kyrie as she blitzed the battlefield surrounded with blue lightning and wielding her massive sword.

The sight was incredibly eye-catching. A woman blazing through the battlefield waving a massive sword which was bigger than her. Even the battle hardened soldiers couldn't help but to watch in awe as she mowed down the enemies.

Raven himself didn't move. He could've if he wanted to but it wasn't necessary. Just with the help of his domain, his pseudo-slaughter intent and blessing them with cleansing flames were enough to turn the tide of this war to their favor.

The scene was impeccable. Historical even.

The 'Broken Floor' which too many lives, was covered in a sea of pure white flames. Shrill screams of devils and courageous cries of warriors echoed within. Under the unceasing assault and combined-efforts of the soldiers, the wave of devils eventually lessened until they were no more.

Some devils succumbed to fear, making them unable to bare their usually sharp and relentless fangs against their favorite food.

The glorious and godly presence of the man suspended in the air gave devils a nightmare.

Every soldier here was highly experienced from what Raven could tell, but even they never felt slaughtering devils this easy. The weakness and traces of exhaustion on their bodies disappeared like snow on summer, it was replaced by an overwhelming desire to kill and destroy.

Their blood boiled and their fighting spirits were raised to the peak. Eventually, the killed and they killed until there was nothing to kill anymore.

Slowly bur surely, the killing intent on their hearts dispersed. Raven slowly dissipated his domain until everything went eerily calm. The Broken Floor is still covered with the sea of flames yet none of them were hurt. The mountain of bodies and rivers of black blood were all devoured by the flames and ceased to exist.

”Humanity!”

”Humanity!”

It was unknown who started it but it lit-up a fuse and before they knew it, the broken floor trembled under the victorious cries of the soldiers.

Raven who was still suspended in the air looked at this scene warmly with eyed brimming with pride.
