Chapter 220: Supernatural Invasion (1/2)
The Great Barricade was in an immediate crisis,
Hundreds of military men holding advanced weapons stand steady on the Great Barricade wall, and fearsome turrets are already aimed at the charging demons.
”HOLD YOUR WEAPONS STEADY!!”, a commander shouted loudly.
All of the military men are obeying his orders,
The place becomes havoc as five demon hives appeared out of nowhere, and countless demons of all sizes came out of it.
They're like an army sent from hell to bring chaos and doom,
BOOM!
BOOM!
Many explosions exploded in the plain field, it exploded after a demon stepped on it just like a landmine but made from mana.
Although the exploding formations are working,
The demons that got its body destroyed suddenly regenerate, the reddish ground filled with demonic energy revive all of the dead ones.
With that, the demons kept charging without any fear.
”OPEN FIRE!!”, The commander shouted as hundreds of military men rain bullets on the demons.
The bullets pierced through even a rank five demons, and it proves to be effective by the looks of it but the demons' numbers are still increasing.
BOOM!
KABOOM!!
Mobile artillery located behind the wall fires automatically, huge explosions can be seen left and right as the ground shatters.
The commander then grabs one of the military men's communication devices and said, ”This is commander in Great Barricade A209, we are under attack! I repeat we are under attack!”
After reporting that, the commander tossed the communication device to the side.
He then looks back and finds the Awakened wearing advanced armors are already lined up on the back, ”OPEN THE PORTAL!!”
ZOONG!
Blue portals suddenly appeared on the Great Barricade's wall,
The Awakened run to the Blue Portals as their adrenaline spike, the scene changes as they got teleported to the front of the wall where the demons are charging.
All of the Awakened wears the same kind of armor,
They all wear white armor that covers their bodies from head to toe, white helmets cover their entire heads with a blue horizontal line making them look like robots.
There are two unit types from the looks of it,
One wears a grey robe on their head making them almost look like a nun, while the other one holds melee weapons like swords, sabers, daggers.
But all of them have one thing in common, a blue glowing crest on their chest.
It's the Elpida Alliance crest that takes the shape of the earth.
Although not many normal people know this, all of Awakened know and look up to these people in white armor.
They're the Cessation Knight,
Humanity's first and last line defense against the Supernatural.
”FORMATION!!”, a captain that wears red armor instead of white shouted in the middle.
After hearing that, the Cessation Knights get into formation with the melee fighters in the front while the other on the back.
The demons are already closing in despite the barrage of bullets,
Demonic energies that came from the ground supply them with endless regeneration, the demons won't die unless their heads are crushed or shattered.
Any other mortal wounds will just heal back up,
The red Cessation Knight's body emits a terrifying amount of mana, he raises his long sword that glows with runic patterns before he stabs it on the ground.
SHING!!
BURST!!
After the sword got plunged on the ground,
The ground 500 meters from the sword turns normal, the demonic energy vanishes.
”Get Ready!! FIRE!!”
BOOM!!
The range Cessation Knights gathers all of their elemental mana and attacks with spells after spell, it blasted the approaching demons to smithereens.
All of the Cessation Knights are Awakened, and they volley all kinds of spells to the demons.
Some of the spells are very destructive added with the spirit many of them emitted, it instantly killed fourth and fifth rank demons easily.
But then suddenly,
ROAAR!!
A four-armed demon suddenly roared menacingly as it emits powerful demonic energy.
This four-armed demon is different from the rest, aside from its huge body that is as big as a three stories building, it also has eight sharp horns curving back, and thick tails that slither left and right destructively.
Eight eyes that can see all the way to the back, and the monstrous aura screamed terror.
After this behemoth of a demon roared, it then leaped upwards vibrating the ground in the process as it headed towards the cessation knight.
The slender claws of the demon glow with demonic energy, but when it's near,
DONGGG!!
Its slender claw didn't manage to reach the Cessation Knight as it got blocked by a transparent barrier, the barrier fend off the demon's attack, ”Commander! That's Ezrud, it has complete immunity against fire element!”
Hearing this, the red Cessation Knight chanted, ”Great Water Magic! Violent Sea Elemental!”
PIERCE!!
”KRAAGHRH!!”, the monstrous four-armed demons called Ezrud roared in agony.
After the red Cessation Knight chanting, a blue water elemental materializes as it stabs Ezrud right on its abdomen.
It screamed in pain as it fall to the ground squishing the other demons in the process.
Looking at this, one of the Archdemons smiles in contempt, ”A sword that manages to cancel my field spell, a powerful barrier able to sustain seventh rank demon-like Ezrud”
”You're right to attack now King Saruth, they're progressing really fast”, the Archdemons added.
This Archdemon has branch-like tentacle horns poking out of his head, ashy skins with pointy ears, and there's a green star-shaped tattoo on his chest made of snakes.
Hearing this, another Archdemon replied, ”It will be disadvantageous for us to let them grow, we know what the humans were capable of thousands of years ago”
”Well you better do something about this”, King Saruth said with a slight chuckle.
Although the demons are getting slaughtered by the humans, they seem to didn't mind it as they watch it from afar.
Then, an Archdemon with a green symbol on his face takes a couple of steps forward.
He then points at the water elemental summoned by the red Cessation Knight with, his finger then glow with terrifying demonic energy before suddenly,
DANG!!
A red ball of demonic energy fires towards the water elemental.
The water elemental is rampaging towards the demon when suddenly,
SPLASH!!
It exploded as the water elemental splashed water into the surrounding, it got completely destroyed from just one attack of the Archdemon.
The red Cessation Knight looks at the water elemental in shock,
”Commander, the Archdemons are making a move we can't fight them without any Generals here to hold them back”, a white Cessation Knight said from the side.
Hearing this, the red Cessation Knight replied, ”We must hold them off as long as we can”
