Chapter 747 The Demons' Counterattack
-----
The battlefield gave a sudden change in mere seconds. After Blake summoned his powerful Familiars when the disposable one-hour Undead weakened and scared the demons enough, the powerful Familiars, led by their respective Generals, Fenrir, Draco, Arachne, and Titan, quickly started to clean things with their overwhelming superiority in both strength and speed.
"Yes, that's right, my children! Keep weaving!" Laughed Arachne, the General of most of the Bug-type Familiars.
After their resent Talent Bestowal, they had acquired the Weaver One Star Talent and two new Skills, alongside a Title. Among their new Skills was the [Lethal Thread Mastery++]. By using this powerful Skill, they employed their own threads and created deadly traps with them.
Around the city, it could be easily seen as almost half of its territory had been covered by spiderwebs, countless of demons were being trapped within them, being slowly cut down to pieces as the threads moved on their own, wrapping around their bodies.
Some of the strongest Demons who were near Demon General rank were taken care by multiple Giant Wasps, who ganged on them, piercing their bodies with their powerful Blazing Venom Stinger, and sometimes using their Steel-Shattering Mandibles or Slicing Wind Gusts to finish them off if they resisted too much.
Naturally, the strongest ones in terms of explosive damage were still the Blazing Scorpions, who were only a few dozen due to their huge sizes and destructive magic powers. Hundreds of Demons succumbed against their Blazing Meteors and Volcanic Claws the most, which set ablaze everything they touched.
Of course, these Demons were much less battle-ready as the ones invading the Duchy of Darkage, and the surprise factor also played a great role on their demise, as the enemy army literally fell from the skies above them, without them having any time to prepare.
Perhaps in other circumstances, they could had been able to eliminate more of their threats… but aside from the initial wave of Undead, who had been reduced to less than twenty by now, the other Familiars were swiftly killing them.
"With the blessing of the Spirit of War! Fight, my brave warriors!" Titan roared; the Red Orc Druid King summoned the might of his Spirit Magic, as the smaller and much cheaper Red Orc Warriors and Blazing Grizzlies were boosted by his buffs alongside a few of his clones.
FLAAAASH! FLAAAASH! FLAAAASH!
The Protection Spirits Barriers protected them from powerful demonic magic damage from groups of Demon Magicians, while the War Spirit's Enhancement increased their attack power even more. Volcanic Spirit's Wrath brought forth the raging burst of the spirits of volcanoes, spreading explosions of volcanic debris everywhere. And whenever the Familiars were wounded, Light Spirit's Healing Embrace recovered their Health Points before they were to turn into particles of light.
Even a squadron of over three hundred Red Onis wearing Demonic Armor and holding Cursed Weapons were being overwhelmed by the much taller and muscular Red Orc Warriors, being crushed into smithereens one after another mercilessly.
Their numbers dwindled in seconds, the Familiars were restless, they could not even grow tired even if their MP was exhausted, and they would simply continue fighting endlessly as long as they had HP… In a way, they were perhaps even worse than Undead themselves.
"Bring them out!" Cried a Blue Oni, as a huge tremor emerged from the city.
TRUUUMM…! RUMBLE!
A gigantic red gate opened from underground, as several Giant Demon Warriors, Demons as huge as forty meters emerged one after another, being saved for war, the Demons were desperate to gain some terrain in battle, bringing their strongest fighters, most of them almost comparable to Demon Lords, if it wasn't because they were extremely dumb and lacked magic talent.
"GRAAAAH!"
"GROOOAR!"
"GROOOOH!"
Over twenty Giant Demon Warriors started marching, crushing the Red Orc Warriors, Goblins, and Blazing Grizzlies below their foot. The tide of battle seemed to be slowly changing to the Demons favor once more.
"The Mutated Beasts! They're here! Make way!" An Imp screamed, running across the other side of the battlefield as the Familiar Generals set their eyes to that area.
Another red gate opened from underground, as a huge army of over two hundred Mutated Demonic Beasts emerged from within! They were Monsters from a nearby Dungeon that had been mutated with Demonic Energy and Miasma, growing aggressive, berserk, and gaining demonic traits.
They were very similar to the creatures Blake and his friends had fought back in their village when they explored the Miasmic Swamps created as a result from all the Demon Blood spilled after the Demon War.
Mutated Black Wolves and Dire wolves, evolved and stronger versions of Gray Wolves appeared, with extra limbs, eyes, and heads due to their mutations. There were also Giant Triple-Horned Rabbits, Aberrant Cobras, and also over fifty Giant Crows, all of them mutated and made stronger, controlled by a large group of Demon Druids in the background, who employed red colored demonic orbs to control the berserk beasts.
Suddenly, the Arachneia were cornered at the same time as the Orcs, from both the skies, west and east! Giant Demon Warriors and powerful Mutated Demonic Beasts! Could things get even worse?
"Looks like these bastards had a lot of troops saved underground!" Said Titan, looking around while holding a Mana-imbued Orb that Blake had made for all his Familiar Magicians. They helped them naturally replenish Mana, something Familiars could not do naturally.
"It seems the fun has yet to end." Arachne giggled, her red eyes glancing across the battlefield. Her hundred of "children" as she called the other bug-type familiars quickly obeyed her mental commands, as they started to regroup around her.
"Huh?!" Fenrir, who was massacring Demons with his pack of wolves of the same type as him suddenly felt the powerful presences Blake had talked about before. "The presences master felt before! They're arriving!" He glanced into the distance, at the shoulder of one of the Giant Demons, and another sitting above a giant, mammoth-like mutated demonic beast.
"What's all this ruckus? I was taking such a good nap…"
"Oho?! It seems that there were still some humans with the will to fight back! How amusing!"
Two more Demon Lords appeared… and also, a third, stronger being, standing above the city's castle.
"The Summoner's already here? That was much faster than we expected…"
