Chapter 95: Is this fair?

(NunuNote: I got the names mixed up again, the correct one is that Arthur is Adrian's general and Lance is King Victor's general).

- Adrian's POV -

When I saw that the griffin was hit and badly wounded, I knew that I only had a few minutes or maybe even a few seconds to get to the battlefield.

So even though I knew it would damage this body of mine, I had to overcome the power capacity of this marble goblet to fly to the battlefield as quickly as possible.

In the future, I might be able to find a way to repair this body, but I couldn't allow those demons to kill 60,000 believers below me, let alone when those believers were fighting for me.

- General Arthur's POV -

The battle looked very favorable for us.

Even though the demons were more powerful than humans of the same level, or the demons had a large number of soldiers on their side, since our soldiers had very high morale and were all helping each other to get Internet Coins, our coordination was leading us to victory.

But an explosion made us all worry.

Looking up at the sky, my eyes widened when I saw that the Internet God's griffin, which had been acting so wildly and taking on the two most powerful demons with ease, had been hit by an unknown attack from someone inside the castle.

This attack caused a powerful explosion, wounding the griffin's wing and even causing blood to fall from the sky.

Soon after, an even more powerful demon emerged from the demon castle and joined the battle against the griffin.

With a wounded wing, the griffin suddenly landed on the ground and was besieged by the three powerful demons.

Seeing what was happening, the wise mages on our side quickly tried to attack the demons and protect the griffin, but the difference in strength between the two sides was too great, and the mages' attacks only delayed the demons for a few seconds before the demons cut off the griffin's head and killed the creature that was protecting us.

Many soldiers saw the death of the griffin... even though the body of the iMonster disappeared before our eyes, there were still thousands of soldiers who saw the death of our guardian, and that clearly lowered everyone's morale.

Without the griffin to protect us, just the aura of power from the three demons was enough to make me struggle to breathe.

And while I, a warlord, was feeling this way, soldiers weaker than me began to show even more critical signs.

I could see soldiers kneeling down to try to breathe better, or even soldiers with their hands on their necks as they searched for air to breathe.

As the humans showed weakness, the weaker demons took advantage of the opportunity and began to take the lives of several soldiers.

In less than 10 seconds, I could see at least a thousand soldiers dying, and more soldiers would die if nothing was done.

Shaking my hand, I drew my sword and began to force my energy out of my body.

Although it had a weak effect, it helped the soldiers closest to me.

Seeing what I had done, the other warlords and wise mages began to do the same.

This allowed the soldiers to breathe again, albeit with difficulty.

But suddenly, a laugh cut off our hope.

"Haha, try again." One of the three powerful demons said, laughing coldly and sadistically as he increased the pressure, making it easy to break through our protective barrier.

At this point, there was only despair left.

God of the Internet, please help us...' I thought desperately.

"O God of the Internet, Lord of magic wires and digital pathways, grant us fast connections and digital wisdom, let your wisdom flow through my body. May our thoughts travel like lightning through your virtual domains, guided by your cyber light on the path to glory. In your grace, protect us from viruses and hackers, and may our downloads always be complete, amen.

All I could do was pray.

Hearing me pray, other warriors and mages began to pray as well.

Dozens of soldiers were dying every second at the hands of the demons, but we knew that our only chance of survival was to rely on the God of the Internet.

Suddenly, I heard a strange noise.

When I looked up, I saw a demon pointing his hand at us while a small red ball of energy formed in his hand.

Even though the ball of energy was small, the power in it was terrifying.

This attack alone would surely kill at least half of the army...

When I saw that ball of energy forming in the demon's hand, the world went into a slow state for me.

The few seconds it took for the ball to form were enough for me to think about my family, my kingdom, everything I've ever lived through, what I could have lived through, the different choices I could have made.

My whole life flashed before my eyes.

As I finally accepted my fate and watched the ball fly from the demon's hand towards me, a transparent blue barrier appeared in front of us.

BOOM

The ball of red energy hit the transparent blue barrier with a powerful explosion, causing the ground to shake and knocking down both the weaker demons and the humans.

Not only did the ground shake, but the wind pressure caused by the explosion was so great that when I looked around, I saw a large amount of dust flying around, pushing all kinds of vegetation around.

"What a terrifying force..." I said in a shocked voice as I looked around to see who was protecting us.

With a barrier like that, the only kind of person I could imagine having enough power to do something like that was an Archmage, but there were no Archmages in our group.

"Look in the sky!" Suddenly, a wise mage at my lake shouted in shock.

Lifting my head, I saw a man descending in a costume unlike any I'd ever seen before.

A long-sleeved white shirt made of a fine, delicate fabric, slightly tight black pants that outlined the man's legs all the way down to his shoes, which for some reason were as white and clean as the shirt he was wearing.

On his head, the only thing I could see from this distance was his straight black hair, while on his face his pair of eyes glowed blue, the same shade as the barrier that protected us!

The only thing more striking than his glowing eyes was the pair of wings on his back that glowed the same shade of blue as his eyes, making him float in the sky like a deity!

I had no idea who this man was, but all I could think was that he could be the God of the Internet!

"Lord Athenos?!" A wise mage shouted excitedly.

Athenos?! Wasn't that the name of the emissary of the God of the Internet I spoke to before the army left?!

Hearing the Sage Mage call out his name, Athenos looked in our direction with a surprised expression on his face, smiled and waved in our direction before turning back to the demons with anger on his face.

"Filthy demons that pollute the lands of the Lord God of the Internet, today will be your last day alive." He said as he held out his hand.

As soon as he said this, a ball of blue energy began to accumulate in his hand at a faster rate than the demons.

Before the demons could react, the ball left Lord Athenos' hand and flew at high speed towards the demons, causing a huge explosion where the three of them stood.

Since there was no barrier where the demons were, there was nothing to stop its attack, which destroyed the ground and sent large chunks of earth flying around.

"You are a servant of a god?! Humble man, it is you who will die today!" One of the demons at the scene of the attack shouted as he prepared for another attack.

As soon as the dust cleared, I could see the other two demons also preparing attacks, the three of them teaming up to deal with Lord Athenos!

Three against one, was that fair?
