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"
But then suddenly, the red Cessation Knight saw another red glowing ball of demonic energy charging on the Archdemon's hand.
He can see that the Archdemon is charging for another shot,
"Defensive formation! NOW!!", the red Cessation Knight shouted hurriedly.
"Defensive Formation!!"
"Defensive Formation!!"
The other white Cessation Knight shouted as they gathers as much energy as they could, and all of that energy creates a big shield made of mana in front of the barrier.
After their brief exchange with the demon, it was obvious that the demons can't penetrate the transparent barrier.
But it will be another story if the Archdemons intervenes,
DANG!!!
An enormous amount of demonic energy swirled on the red ball as it shot towards the shield, all of the normal people already takes cover from the impact that was about to happen.
It makes the Cessation Knights go pale as the red ball got closer.
The energy is so enormous that they felt a chill on their spine, the red ball is like a death sentence.
KABOOM!!!!!!
The shield made by the Cessation Knight and the transparent barrier trembles upon the impact, it didn't take long as the shield got destroyed and left the transparent barrier open.
It was more like a nuke than a spell,
The shockwaves not only propelled the nearby demons, but even the Cessation Knights inside the transparent barrier got flung away.
King Saruth looks at afar with a smile, the transparent barrier started to flicker.
And not long after that, the explosion ceased.
The Cessation Knight recover from the explosion and find cracks on the transparent barrier, it is evident that the transparent barrier almost got destroyed completely.
When suddenly,
ROAARRRR!!
King Saruth roared powerfully from afar as the ground trembles alongside his roar, the demonic energy went havoc as it creates an illusionary devil above his head.
While the roar suppressed the Cessation Knight,
A sound was suddenly heard by the Cessation Knight and it completely startled them.
CRASH!!
The transparent barrier that is developed by humanity for years suddenly breaks into little pieces, it was destroyed by King Saruth's roar.
With no powerful Awakened guarding the place, the barrier shatters.
The Cessation Knights looks at this in horror,
All of them know what will happen if the barrier shatters, they won't have any protection from the demon and the wall will be exposed.
ROAAR!!
RAAHH!
KRAAUGH!!
The roars from the demons that followed after King Saruth snap the Cessation Knight to reality.
"RETREAT!! EVERYONE RETREAT!!", the red Cessation Knight shouted.
With the barrier destroyed by the demons, they have no means to buy more time for reinforcement and they will be massacred if they stay.
All of the humans started retreating, the portals opens again but the demons also follow behind.
BAM!
BAM!
"Get back!! CLOSE THE PORTAL!!", the red Cessation Knight shouted.
He had already gone inside the portal, he looks to the side and finds nobody managing the portal formation as all the humans started to run.
This makes the red Cessation Knight grit his teeth,
Many of the demons of all kinds already got inside the portal, and more will come if he doesn't close the portal.
While hacking the demons with his long sword,
The red Cessation Knight started to slaughter his way towards the formation, he needed to buy the others time to escape and the portals are not helping.
BAM!!
"ARGHH!!", the red Cessation Knight shouted as a powerful blast hits him.
He looks to the side and finds Ezrud wiggling its slender body through the tight portals and Ezrud glares at the red Cessation Knight in contempt.
"YOU SON OF A BITCH!!", the red Cessation Knight shouted lastly,
ROAR!!!
~
Meanwhile, on the other side of the Great Barricade.
"Solomon!! I wonder why are you doing here?", an Awakened flying in front of King Solomon said with a huge smirk on his face.
The Awakened wields a spear that has eight engraved runes on the handle
Violent wind mana swirl around the spear like a snake, and a humanoid spirit behind him that has astral eyes are looking down on King Solomon coldly.
If Rex was here, he will instantly know that this Awakened is more powerful than Vargas!
Solomon then laughs, "Still cocky after losing to me last time Garrick?"
Hearing this, Garrick's face darkened in anger.
He points his spear toward Solomon full of killing intent as he said, "Today will be different, I happened to have a friend of mine here"
After saying that, a woman clad in armor appeared out of nowhere.
The woman's body glows with an intense brown aura that is almost as powerful as Garrick's aura, it seems the woman is also near Garrick's league.
Seeing the woman, a smile crept onto Nezera's face on Solomon's side.
"I got to play too then, that's great", Nezera said with a sweet smile, her beauty fazes even Garrick which is filled with hatred.
Garrick then laughs, "You're not her match"
He then averted his gaze back to Solomon and said, "Your queen is not her match, and you will die here if you try to attack us"
Solomon's face turns panic for a second,
This makes Garrick's smile widen, he's happy seeing Solomon's expression.
But then, that panic look suddenly disappeared and turned into a smirk, "You think I'm afraid of your little threat?"
Hearing this, Garrick frowns.
"I also brought a friend of mine", Solomon said as he signals Garrick to look down.
Garrick looks down before his eyes widened in surprise,
BOOM!!
A figure suddenly appeared that holds a spear that is blazing with blue fire on its tip, the figure's body is pure black and the aura the figure emitted is as strong as Solomon!
Garrick and the women step back warily,
They can feel the enormous power of the blazing figure, it's like every fiber of its being is erupting with immense power.
"Garrick meets Azzen", Solomon said cheekily.
He then continues, "You see now? This is the first step in conquering humans, and you both will see it directly"
Solomon's blood-red eyes then glance at Garrick, "You should be honored"
