Kaguya led the Dark Squirrels alongside Kuraen and Yamiyo. Kuraen used his magic swordsmans.h.i.+p in the frontlines alongside several other Goblins, Trolls, and Merfolk, while Kaguya and Yamiyo were on the back, swiftly using their speed to evade the enemy army attacks while blasting them away with incredibly powerful fire magic or deteriorating their performance with curses.

Kaguya was mostly the strongest overall, due to her blessing and her evolution to a rave variant, her power was incredible, no human was able to resist her powerful fireb.a.l.l.s that blasted the enemy troops as if they were ants. Numbers didn't matter at all when it came to her magic, as it destroyed everything.

The soldiers quickly began to retreat while asking for the aid of the mages, thinking that mages can beat mages, however, their route was blocked by hundreds of Goblins, Trolls, and Merfolk who mercilessly began to ma.s.sacre them.

The humans were shocked and scared by the strength that demi-humans, who they often see as inferiors, were showing. Even an experienced knight was being pressured by an Elite Goblin, who had learned countless techniques and overwhelmed the human with his combo attacks.

"H-How can this be a Goblin?! Goblins are the weakest monsters! Ghh! Gaah!"

Slas.h.!.+

Jorogumo led the Arachne team alongside the strong front liner attackers, which included Goblin, Trolls, Ogres, and Merfolk that had Warrior and Berserk related cla.s.ses. Jorugumo power was almost matchless, her incredible speed and agility paired with her destructive strength rampaged the battlefield, only leaving scattered and burn corpses of what used to be soldiers.

Even when Jorogumo party was less than one hundred, quality seems to beat quant.i.ty on this world, as less than one hundred demi-humans ma.s.sacred over a thousand themselves.

Of course, my help also came into play, as I enhanced everyone beforehand with several boosting skills alongside a special modifier that grants increased damage against humans.

The humans quickly realized that they won't be able to beat these demi-humans as quickly as they did with the Undead Skeleton army and that things weren't going to get better, they became worse.

Ganjo descended from the hill like an imposing t.i.tan, and with his bare palms, it raised the ground to bellow him like giant spikes and walls and began to ma.s.sacre the tiny humans who dared to come his way. Immune to almost any type of normal physical damage due to its rocky skin and ma.s.sive body, the humans who saw Ganjo as a threat that must be taken down quickly gathered in one place and began to throw powerful magical blast at him, however, he blocked most of them with ease using his rock walls, that were so tightly packed that we're able to even resist the strongest of fireb.a.l.l.s or ice spears.

With his bare fists, he started to smash everything on the ground, creating devastating earthquakes, which also activated my earthquake traps, creating even more destructive temblors that created cracks on the ground, sending hundreds of humans towards their inevitable doom.

The Slime family dedicated itself to stay on the air, for the most part, conjuring strong magic while also supporting anyone who needed some help. Luminous was the one who helped the most, using her Holy Light magic to heal almost anyone who had a small bruise. The humans who tried to take them down were greeted by a giant rainbow meteor that completely blasted them away.

Although there are physical attackers, all of them have a strong magic affinity and natural connectivity with each other, giving them the ability to easily combine their elements into strong spells that can rival Rimuru and even myself.

Most of the humans saw with despair how most of their efforts were in vain, even when various mages gathered together and broke their formations just to aid the frontlines, they were met with furious strikes from Jorogumo squad or giant falling rocks made by Ganjo, my troops weren't giving any time for the humans to regroup and think about strategies, showering them with various types of attacks.

The Blood Team, composed of my previous blood clones who evolved into High Blood Elves, alongside the small group of Half-Blood Lords were wreaking havoc among the foe's ranks using their mysterious techniques. Using their natural power, they grew stronger with the blood on the battlefield, which they manipulated and formed different types of weapons and even armors.

The humans saw terrified as their companions were sucked dry from their blood, instantly becoming mummies that quickly became dust and ashes. The blood of their companions nourished the enemy, which began to resemble an army from the deepest parts of their nightmares.

"W-We can't win…"

"W-What are you talking about? We surpa.s.s them in numbers… W-We can win…! We must keep attacking… Sooner or later we will beat them!"

"You're being delusional… There is no way for us to win, each of those monsters possesses the strength of an army of more than one thousand…"

"And they work so well together, they are no ordinary monsters! T-To think that there would be a demon overlord so close to us!"

"Gyaaaaahh!"

However, there were still heavy losses from my part, from the three hundred combined troops, more than forty soldiers have lost their lives and even my Flesh and Slime minions weren't able to save their lives as the wounds were too deep. Some soldiers were also vaporized instantly due to strong magic attacks.

I can't do anything about this, and I have been mentally preparing myself for this moment. Loses are a natural thing on war, especially in a battle of this caliber, fighting ten thousand humans would never leave us without losses.

Although I don't pray to any G.o.d or religion, I still wished the fallen ones a farewell.

While looking over the battlefield, I glanced at the backlines. The mages and long-ranged attackers began to break their formations and rushed towards the frontlines, trying to aid their comrades, without caring about tactics, showing the clear inexperience on the battle that these humans had.

The constant damage and furious rampage that my troops dealt with the frontlines made sure to break the spirit of various soldiers, becoming terrified and in despair, a lot of them let themselves be killed with ease.

However, the fear and despair awakened the anger of others, who went into a rampage and managed to kill a lot of my troops, this showed the innate potential of humans, who they usually never cultivate and can even turn the odds against them.

Having pa.s.sed three hours since I sent my troops, I saw that the time was near. With my wives at my side, I sneaked to the back of the enemy army. Meanwhile, I commanded the second and third troops to finally attack.

This is a very basic strategy, I made two armies enclose the human army from left to right, while the previous one was pressuring them from the front. At the same time, I will pressure the entire army backline, which is the most vulnerable as it's composed mostly of mages and archers that wear light armor. This is the best strategy I could come out with to fight such a ma.s.sive army of over ten thousand.

At first, I thought that the odds were against us, but it turned out that the individual strength of my troops was able to overpower the soldiers and the strongest warriors were equal to thousands of soldiers themselves. This shows that this world favors quality over quant.i.ty and that two hands can overpower twenty hands if given enough cultivation of strength.

While seeing the second and third troops descending from the hills, I saw how Truhan and Celica quickly ran towards the humans, ma.s.sacring the enemy troops without even a hint of hesitation, they were natural human killers and enjoyed to hunt prey. This big army of humans was like a giant banquet for them, as they were hitching to slash and smash enemies.

On the third team, there were several monkeys and wolves, like Kizuato, Yukan, Wagyu, and Kekensha. Wagyu and Kekensha partic.i.p.ated alongside the Undead on the first wave but retreated alongside the Undead Team afterward. These wolves packed incredible strength and there wasn't anything on the battlefield that stood a chance.

Wagyu's heads shoot powerful blasts of Shadow Flames and Black Ice Spikes, while his tail, on the form of a giant snake began to spit Corrosive Venom over hundreds of soldiers, quickly melting them into poodles of blood.

Kekensha flew across the battlefield protecting our troops with his limitless Light Magic s.h.i.+elds. Along this, he blasted the humans that tried to take him down with powerful Judgement Rays of Holy Light. These two were incredible pillars on the battlefield and any soldiers that keep close to them would guarantee their safety.

Having confirmed that everything was going according to what I planned, I quickly moved to the backlines with my wives and began to wreak havoc among the enemy ranks. I used my [Arms of Demise], summoning over one hundred.

All out of the sudden, gigantic arms that resembled black towers fell from the skies, quickly smas.h.i.+ng over two hundred soldiers in one go.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The rest of the soldiers could even retaliate to such a strange type of attack.

"What are those things?!"

"Projectiles? Magic? A technique? Just what is that? How could a skill like that even exist?!"

"T-They are just gigantic arms… that destroy everything…"

As I opened a way for my wives, they descended and began their own ma.s.sacre. Nesiphae and her gigantic body wielded her majestic [Legendary] Axe as she slashed and set to fire anyone who dared stand on her way, alongside this, she released thousands of giant magic snakes that entangled and ate the soldiers that were too wounded to keep fighting, quickly reducing the enemy ranks.

CLAs.h.!.+

BOOM!

"Gyaaah!"

"A Giant Lamia?! Weren't they extinct long ago?!"

"S-Such strength! How can we fight something like this?! Mages! Call the mage troops!"

CRAs.h.!.+

Rimuru on the other hand gracefully danced around, while throwing s.h.i.+ning rainbow-colored rays of super concentrated magic density, which contained several elements. These blasts, most of the time vaporized anything on her way. Any type of magic s.h.i.+eld would end up being useless against these attacks. If anyone dared to come closer to her, her rainbow armor would usually negate any type of physical damage. She also had her legendary rainbow sword, which boosted her magic capabilities and was incredibly sharp.

Flas.h.!.+

"Don't get near her rays!"

"That magic… How is it possible to combine so many elements into such a highly concentrated ray of magic?!"

"Such magic power…!"

"She still looks fairly frail! Get her from her back!"

"Wait! Don't get closer to her!"

"Eh?!"

SLAs.h.!.+

Zehe remained calm as she played around with the ma.s.sive numbers of humans, mostly manipulating ma.s.sive black holes made with Shadow Magic. She would also call upon the bizarre beings that she has made pacts with, summoning countless Giant Eldritch Octopus. Her Gravity Manipulation was very good too, and she was able to change the curse of the battlefield while reversing the gravity of the soldier's foot, making the trip over into the black holes to get instantly devoured.

"That weird four-armed Troll is too strong! We can't even get closer to her!"

"How can we even fight the shadows themselves?!"

"Gyaaaaahhh!!!"

"She keeps summoning those d.a.m.ned octopus' monsters! There is no end! How could she reach our backline so fast?!"

"T-The Elemental Knights! Call them!"

"We can still put on a fight! We surpa.s.s them in numbers! We are thousands and they are a few! Fight! Sacrifice your lives for our Kingdom! Kill the demons!"

Brontes jumped over the battlefield wielding her [Legendary] Club, which she calls upon the power of lighting to smash the gigantic army of despairing humans, the powerful bolts of electricity create incredible explosions which sounds fill the entire battlefield. Her strength is almost unparallel, her skin is tough as steel and the swords of the humans cannot penetrate it, aside from this, anyone who dares get closer to her will be met with a natural electric coating over her body, which automatically repels anyone, paralyzing them on the spot.

CLAs.h.!.+

BOOM!

"Ghh! Gaah!"

"Such raw power! She is no different than the giant snake over there!"

"She isn't wearing any armor; we can still do this!"

"W-Wait!"

SPLAT!

"Is that a lighting coating…? Such advanced magic… We can't even touch her without getting blown into pieces…!"

While I commanded my [Arms of Demise] to ma.s.sacre the humans, who yelled in despair and agony, I inspected the battlefield until I found the three Elemental Knights. They were on the utmost backline, I redirected several of my [Arms of Demise] towards there to try out their strength.

Meanwhile, I prepared myself, covering my body into my [Six-Armed Wyvern Armor] and summoning several weapons. I summoned my Magic Rifle and my Magic Wind Bow and began to aim at the Elemental Knights heads.

Fighting head-on? That's not really a good strategy, even with my strength, one is never sure if the enemy has an ace up their sleeve.

When my [Arms of Demise] appeared on the utmost backline, the soldiers there began to freak out, their chaos started to spread across their ranks and everyone broke their tight formations.

The Elemental Knight of Thunder quickly rushed through the despaired soldiers and raised its weapon, and with a single slash of thunder, one of my [Arms of Demise] was completely sliced in half, exploding into a cloud of dark smoke.

SLAs.h.!.+ BOOM!

"Uooh! Sir Adam!"

"With Sir Adam here, we can beat the demons!"

"Fight! We can do this!"

With a single act, the Elemental Knight raised the entire morale of the soldiers, who were engulfed in fighting spirit and didn't doubt to jump into the danger that was getting near my wives.

While the Thunder Elemental Knight was slas.h.i.+ng my [Arms of Demise] without taking a break, the Elemental Knight of Wind and Nature began their action too, going to confront my wives accompanied by several Veteran Seasoned Knights and Wizards.

Using this opportunity to my advantage, while being camouflaged by my Illusion Magic, I pointed both my Magic Rifle and the Wind Magic Bow and began to concentrate my magic into them. I created a giant black colored arrow that concentrated several types of magic elements, while on the Rifle, I created an Omni elemental bullet, big enough to completely blast the Knight's head but keep his body intact for me to feast on.

Using the increased precision given to me by the nomad skills, I shot both projectiles at the Elemental Knight of Thunder's head.

The man was still using all his strength and effort to get rid of the endless [Arms of Demise] using his powerful Lighting Slashes, however, when he realized that two incredibly dense magic projectiles were shot towards his head, it was too late.

Even his increased senses that I a.s.sume the power of Lighting granted to him couldn't save him from this attack unless someone else summoned a strong enough s.h.i.+eld to take on two of my most powerful magic projectiles, he would be sure to die.

SPLAT!

As the soldiers cheered around the Elemental Knight of Thunder, their cheers quickly became cries of despair and horror, as they witnessed their Hero get its head completely blown off into pieces of skull, brains, and blood.

The now headless body stayed still for a moment as if it didn't comprehend what happened to it, and then, it fell down the ground, motionless.

"S-S-Sir Adam!!!"

"H-He's dead?!"

"H-How?! Sir Adam!!!"

"This was too sudden! Too sudden!"

"How could an Elemental Knight die from a magic projectile?! Is this really not a dream?!"

With an army of monsters and demons, she plans on taking over the entire Realm, and her first step is the Kingdom founded by merchants, Athetosea.

It seems that he wasn't able to intercept my attack from such a long distance. Even with his enhanced thunder senses, he wasn't able to evade in time.

Aside from the soldiers who witnessed the Knight death, the Wind and Nature Elemental Knight quickly realized his death too, as it seems that they received the notification through their own [Epic] skills. They began to despair and in an outburst of rage, they attacked my wives with increased speed and strength.

"One down, two more left…"
