Chapter 163: Battle of Death Spot III
All of the human combatants feel like their blood froze, as the demons glanced at them, causing them to shiver from mere look. He looked at them, before his gaze landed on the two B-rank females, a demonic smiles forming on his face.
"Come, entertain me in this bloodshed, my monsters," by his command, the monsters descend into the battlefield, with greater fervour than before.
The giant Lizardmen used their clubs to throw every men standing in their way, sending them flying, often heavily injuring them, if not, killing them outright. The demonic-looking Lizardmen, an apt description considering how they are aligned with a demon, charged into the formation of soldiers, their brutally shaking the once stalwart formation.
The demonic looking hobgoblins decided to move against the adventurers, often taking 3 weaker C-rank adventurers in one go, diverting the much needed force against the horde of monsters.
As for the rest of the monsters, they seemed to renew their vigour with the presence of the demon, as they tore though the soldiers, even at the cost of their own life. Overall, the once advantageous situation for the human, slowly turned for the worse, and it is all because of the demon present.

"Ciana!" Ruthanne called out, her sword piercing the skull of another dark-scaled Lizardmen. The B-rank adventurers leap into the battlefield, the very definition of lithe and grace as she took out monsters with a slash or a stab.
"Attack the demon?" she asked, though she could guess the answer.
"Yes," Ruthanne was glad she is working with a smart person, as they could tell, or at least choose the best option possible.
"And if we are not enough?" she asked, as the two began to cut through the force of the monsters.
"I send a courier to get help, and tell the presence of the demon in case we don't make it," she answered, the adventurer nodding as they soon find themselves in front of the demon.
The demon merely looked at them with a thoughtful face, before his hands turned into monstrous claws.
"I can guess where this will go, so, show me your might, B-rankers," he called out to them. Hearing this, the two exchanged a glance before going in different directions, before suddenly appearing at both sides.
However, the demon merely blocked it with his claws, steel clashing with claws. The demon quickly unleashed his might by pushing the B-rankers, sending them flying, though they are able to land without crashing, an impressive feat.
"You are strong, but you are not enough to defeat me," the demon said in an arrogant tone. Ruthanne bristled from how she was looked down upon, but she manage to control herself, less the demon took advantage of her emotional state.
Another exchanged glance and the two started the dance of death once again, trying to kill the demon. They slashed, they parried, they stab, they dodge. They even used magic yet he keep blocking and avoiding their attacks, showing his might to them all.
Once again, they retreated, catching their breath. Unlike their foes, who look like he just taking a stroll. "Is that all you got?" the demon said in a cocky tone, as he slowly walked towards them.
However, he did not know the two pretend to be exhausted, hoping to use his arrogance against him and looping his head off. They keep their weapons on their chest level, wanting to show him they still have some strength, but not as much as the start of the fight.
After all, they needed to quickly win the fight. Without them helping the army, they will be overwhelmed by the monsters.
"Seriously, is this all you get?" the demon asked in disappointment. "I face C-rankers with better stamina then the two of you combined,"
The two withhold from saying anything, not wanting to break their act. "What was they called, oh yeah, Crimson Dawn," Ciana could feel her blood froze. While Crimson Dawn are not as strong as her Bronze Reaper, they are still a strong group, strong enough they likely invited to join in the destruction of the death spot.
To hear how the demon destroyed them, she could feel the rage boiling inside of her. It took everything to not attack the demon, less the plan they come up with fall apart.
"I remember how the leader screamed, as I claim her. She yelled like a beast in heat under me, like wanton whore," Ciana looked at the demon in disbelief, wishing he did not mean what he said.
"And then, the vice-leader. Her voluptuous body was divine. I play with it as I turned her into a woman, well, more like a slut with how much she begged for it later. Oh well, there is a lot of women here. I will glad took them to be part of my collec-"
The demon dodge the beheading attempt, though Ciana did manage to snag some of his hair.
"Next time, I won't miss," she said in a deathly tone.
"So, you do pretend to be exhausted. I have my suspicion, with how quick you tire out. But now you reveal it, it would not work," the demon said before she was forced to step back, blocking two beheading attempt.
"You stronger than what you show before, but you are still outnumbered, and will be overwhelmed," the demon said, looking at them with a hint of pity. A look that Ruthanne wanted to crush.
"Oh well, why don't you crush us both?" the commander yelled, hoping to buy her courier the time he needed.
"You do realize the futile attempt to prolong the fight so your messenger could send the request for help as well as the details of what happen is smart, but not smart enough,"
A head was thrown on his feet, blood leaking from the part of the neck, showing how recent the kill is.
"You don't think I don't prepare for the inevitable request for help, do you? I put some of my monsters around the place before showing myself, just to prevent this scenario from happening.
Releshing the look of despair on their faces, he continued, "As for the other group, I leave some force behind to keep them busy. They are not strong enough to destroy the group, especially with the number of B-ranks, but they are more than enough to block them long enough for me to destroy all of you,"
Realizing they will not be save, and that the city will not know of the cause of the death spot, the two exchanged another glance before they unleash their mana, infusing their bodies with it.
If they are going to die, they are going to die in their own term.
