Chapter 145: 145. Attack of the Demon Race - 2

"ROOOAAARR!"

Everyone turned their heads towards the sound of the roar in the air above them and saw two big void shuttles facing off against a three-headed dragon.

Outside the void shuttles, there were also seven humans attacking the demons who were controlling the three-headed dragon. The scene was chaotic and intense, with the dragons' roars echoing through the air as the battle raged on.

Orion watched the unfolding spectacle, realising the scale of the conflict had escalated far beyond what he had anticipated.

However, at that moment, including Orion and everyone fighting on the disc, they all noticed that at the opposite end, a powerful suction force was generated, pulling everything towards it.

The sudden gravitational pull caused chaos among both humans and demons alike, disrupting the ongoing battle and forcing everyone to brace themselves against the unseen force.

But the gravitational suction didn't last long; instead, it transformed into a spiralling vortex. From within this vortex, more demons emerged, pouring into the disc with relentless aggression.

"More demons!"

"And why has a portal appeared here all of a sudden?"

"Damn, look at their aura; all of them are at the silver rank."

"Will we be able to defend against them? We already lost a few."

"Don't worry about it. We are more in numbers; we will outnumber them."

The humans in the disc who were fighting the demons earlier panicked a little seeing so many silver-rank demons coming out of the portal but there were also brave ones who thought they could outnumber them if they couldn't overpower them.

"No, look!"

At that moment, some more demons came from the portal; however, they were somewhat different from the usual silver and iron-rank demons.

They were a little longer and appeared more muscular than usual.

"They are at the peak of the gold ranks!"

"And look at them; there are a total of five of them."

"We need to close the portal first; otherwise, these demons will continue to come here."

"Forget about that; how do we fight against those five gold-rank demons? This space station is located around a bunch of 1-star planets so I doubt there will be many gold-ranking individuals here right now."

"Don't forget that this region comes between the domains of Wolfen Haven and Pristine Haven, ruled by the Grimwolf and Silverflame families, respectively."

"At this point, we can only hope that they sent some reinforcements here."

The whole crowed became tense because of the arrival of the gold rank demons.

Fixen and Loren also looked somewhat nervous. Even though they were only at the peak of their silver rank, they could definitely fight against someone at the gold rank and could also win if they played their cards right but against five of them, they knew they would eventually be outnumbered.

Moreover, they came here without telling their family members so they didn't bring anyone with them who could help them in this situation.

Meanwhile, Orion also frowned at the side. Fighting someone at the gold rank was also a new thing for him. He could defeat those at the peak of the silver rank but he wasn't sure he could take on the gold rank individuals yet.

His attributes at the iron rank were still at zero and he felt that if he were to max those attributes, then he could definitely fight against peak gold rank individuals.

But at his current strength, he could only fight those at the early gold rank who had just arrived at the gold rank and hadn't increased their attributes yet.

'Why isn't Mike here yet? Damn it.'

Orion thought that if only Mike was here, then with his strength at the platinum rank, this fight would have been over before it could even start.

"Surprised, aren't you humans?"

At that moment, one of the gold-rank demons spoke.

Orion swiftly turned his attention to him and so did the rest of the humans here.

"I say, why fight the losing battle?" The demon sneered, looking at Orion and the others. "There isn't a single gold-rank warrior among you. All of them are busy fighting the dragon over there." He pointed to the air.

"Just give up," he continued. "We may spare you if you do that; otherwise, only death awaits you."

All the people present there knew that the demon was only bewitching them and wouldn't really spare them.

The promises of mercy and leniency were nothing but deceitful ploys.

Everyone understood that their only chance of survival was to fight with everything they had, relying on their skills and wits to fend off the demonic assault.

They knew better to not believe in demons and fight for survival; after all, demon race was demon race; they wouldn't believe them no matter what they said.

The human race was the enemy of the angel race and the celestial race too but it was the demon race that threatened them the most. They were stronger than the human race and slightly weaker than the other two races, hence their overly aggressive nature towards humans.

Most importantly, the demon race, like the other two races, had been eyeing the territory of the three domains since humans got their system and became powerful enough to catch the attention of the other races, including the demon race.

All three races wanted the region of the three domains all to themselves since humans at that time were still too weak to compete with them.

At the end, the other three races were about to start a war to claim the region of the human race.

However, they had to end the war before it even started because, a thousand years ago, Grimshore came into existence, drawing the attention of all other races away from the human race and giving them some relief.

The emergence of Grimshore, with its mysterious and powerful influence, acted as a diversion that allowed humans to regroup and fortify their defences.

This temporary respite enabled them to develop strategies and alliances to better cope with the ongoing threats from the angel, celestial, and demon races.

And now that a thousand years had passed, the human race, though still weaker than the other three races, had become powerful enough to stand tall against any of them.

It wasn't like before, when they were at the mercy of the other races.

They had developed advanced techniques, formidable warriors, and strategic alliances that allowed them to hold their ground and fight with resilience.

The humans had evolved from a beleaguered race into a formidable force, ready to defend their place in the world.

Therefore, the bewitching words of the demon didn't have any effect on them. They knew that they were powerful enough to fight against the demon race and hence, although they feared the demons, they weren't cowards or foolish enough to believe whatever nonsense they spouted.

Seeing that humans didn't have any reactions whatsoever to his words made the demon angry.

"I have given you humans a chance, but you didn't take it," the demon said, his words dripping with malice. His eyes glowed with an unholy light as he continued, "Now, you will face the full wrath of the demon race. Prepare yourselves for annihilation."

As the words left his mouth, the demons came running towards the humans, their four arms carrying four weapons each. Their monstrous forms moved with terrifying speed and agility, closing the distance rapidly.

The humans, despite their fear of the onslaught, stood their ground with weapons at their ready.
