Chapter 413: Demon Assault
A blue-skinned monster over two meters tall directly leaped out from the green flames, he was clad in heavy armor, with heavy footsteps but took advantage of his huge stride to charge fiercely towards a nearby soldier holding a shield, swinging a huge long-handled axe towards him!
The soldier holding the shield was smashed aside by this blow, crashing into a pile of rocks without moving, the charging Demon Guard was immediately tripped by a deceleration spell, two crossbow arrows accurately hit his shoulder and back, but failed to stop him from getting up until a soldier holding a spear directly stabbed into his jaw from the front, another soldier pierced his chest with the spear, a few of them pushed him down again, finally stopping his movements.
Another fast-running Demon Guard had already broken into the ranks of the soldiers, despite being pierced in various places and unable to move forward, he still dragged his huge hooves along the ground, waving two long knives in his hands, crazily howling at the soldiers in front of him, splattering them with evil blood from his mouth, even though the soldiers tried their best to resist and stop him from charging, they were still splattered all over.
"Pierce their hearts! Stab the demons’ hearts!"
A soldier is shouting to warn his friends that the air is filled with a foul smell and magic. Jesse feels dizzy and tries hard to cast spells to attack the demons approaching their army.
There are cries, shouts, prayers, and curses mixing together, making it hard to distinguish between the voices of demons and humans. A fat Mo’arg Demon with arm spikes stumbles towards them. A soldier hits the demon with a Fireball, causing a big explosion.
"The young mage apologizes for his mistake, but a soldier tells him to be strong because he is still alive."
Demon Guards with big swords and axes come closer, some still on fire. The Knight Captain yells for the soldiers to regroup, but it’s difficult due to the chaos caused by Hellfire.
Mages cast spells to slow down the approaching Demon Guards. Jesse launches Fireball spells while Amy’s Frostbolt pierces a Demon Guard. Soldiers quickly attack the falling demons.
Jesse’s Fireball hits a Demon Guard, making him stumble. The Demon Guard is then attacked by arrows and spears, extinguishing his fiery eyes.
A voice urges the mages to continue because the demons are losing. The soldiers regain their rhythm with the support of the mages.
The soldiers group together to surround and kill the remaining Demon Guards. The new Demon Guards are met with shields and spears, losing their advantage without magic support.
Jesse focuses to see through the flames and notices some hidden shadows approaching the mine entrance.
But those shadows… couldn’t be seen with the naked eye!
"There are some invisible demons!" he tried to shout to the Knight Captain not far away, "Demons have sneaked in behind us! I smell the scent of a succubus!"
The Knight Captain looked over with a puzzled expression, perhaps not believing his words, but Jesse thought it was more likely that he couldn’t hear him clearly.
At that moment, a mage not far away who was chanting Frostbolt suddenly let out a cry as a faint purple figure appeared behind him, holding a bloody dagger just pulled out!
Jesse cursed inwardly, realizing it was too late to be discovered.
The succubus was about to escape when she was hit by an Arcane Missile before she could turn invisible, her frail body exploded in a messy manner, falling to the ground. She had already caused enough chaos; the mages could no longer concentrate on casting spells and were all worried about the succubus behind them.
Jesse tried to Detect Demon to check for succubus near their team. He concentrated and saw a succubus reaching behind a mage who was chanting spells in front of him. He immediately went over and grabbed the female demon by the neck before she could strike.
The succubus let out a soft gasp as her true form appeared, her face staring at Jesse’s turning from an innocent woman to a wild beast in an instant. She raised her arm to stab with the dagger, but Jesse caught her wrist.
The demon looked surprised, realizing she couldn’t fight against Jesse’s strength. At that moment, the mage who was almost stabbed pulled out a dagger and plunged it directly into the succubus’s heart from under her ribs, and the evil glare in her eyes dimmed instantly.
Two people looked at each other without saying anything. Jesse lifted his eyes and saw a shadow rushing towards him. He waved his magic wand and hit the succubus in the face, knocking her out of the shadows. Before she could get up, he pierced her chest from behind with his magic wand.
Killing succubus was something he was used to by now.
At that moment, he felt another shadow passing behind a Battle Mage holding a sword.
"Behind! Behind!"
Jesse shouted towards the other side, and the mage immediately cast a short spell, creating a bright white smoke with ice shards bursting out, blasting around. The succubus was thrown out from behind, her feet frozen in thick ice layers, unable to move.
The mage pierced her heart with a sword, and the succubus collapsed as if soulless.
After dealing with the succubus, the Battle Mage nodded towards Jesse. Just as Jesse relaxed, he heard shouting from another direction.
The mages on the other side seemed to be affected by the chaos caused by the succubus, but in the thick smoke of the Hellfire, Jesse couldn’t see clearly what was happening there.
Depending only on his Detect Demon ability… he could only protect the group of mages with him at best.
At that moment, he noticed several official mages behind the army chanting the same spell together. Within seconds, Jesse felt a sudden drop in temperature all around him.
Witnessing the once scorching wasteland suddenly being swept by snow and ice, snowflakes and icicles stinging his face, Jesse found himself covered in a layer of snow in no time.
The wind grew stronger, quickly suppressing the spreading demonic fire on the battlefield. The immediate effect of the blizzard was evident as blurry figures brushing off snowflakes could be seen fleeing into the storm from behind the mages.
Two figures, covered in snow, swiftly moved towards the mages but were each blasted by Arcane Missiles passing on either side, their shattered flesh carrying the pitiful screams of succubi quickly being swallowed by the blizzard.
"We’ve won… the demons are retreating!" shouted a soldier below.
An officer immediately overshadowed his exclamation with a more frantic tone, "Stay vigilant! Maintain formation! The demons could strike back at any moment! Stand your ground!"
Jesse looked back at the soldiers holding the front line, the ground littered with bodies of Felhounds, Demon Guards, and Mo’arg vanguards. At that moment, only two Demon Guards remained defiant, but their end was near.
Few demons were visible near the destroyed gate; they had indeed retreated.
Jesse knew that among the demons, there must be an Eredar Wizard; who else could have summoned that Hellfire?
Not long after, the soldiers started cheering. Amy ran over and tightly grabbed Jesse’s arm, saying, "You have exceeded my imagination, Jesse. When those succubus saw you, they were like seeing a nemesis, they couldn’t do anything to you at all. Without you, our mages here would have had many casualties."
Her voice was trembling as she spoke. Jesse knew she was also quite nervous, or perhaps she hadn’t yet calmed down from the intense excitement of the battle.
But it wasn’t time to relax yet. He looked towards the path leading to the mine behind, not knowing how many succubus or Felhounds had sneaked in.
At that moment, he noticed an officer also staring at the mine behind them. It was clear he was also thinking the same thing.
