Turning in the direction of thundering noise, many demons guarding the fortress rose their heads only to see rocks and heavy shreds of ice raining over them.
Some demons instantly panicked, lurching away in a cacophony of screams. Ice stones were followed by trails of fire that burst like dynamite which was then followed by a rain of magic spells showering over them without giving them a single moment to catch their breath.
BOOM!BOOM!BOOM!BOOM!BOOM!BOOM!
As if under heavy attacks from artillery and cannon, the sound of blasts overshadowed the painful screams.
Demons died one after another unable to do anything under the deadly assault.
A demon who was trying to make his way towards the human army had not even taken a step when something hit the man's torso right in front of him and before he could react, the thing that hit him exploded, showering everything with sharp shards.
"Since when did those puny humans develop such bizarre things? The weapon does not have a hint of magical energy but it explodes with a terrifying might."
"Just what the hell is this?
While agonising wails filled the air from Demon's side, Christina who was leading the charge from the forefront suddenly felt something amiss.
She rolled her eyes scanning over the battlefield and her expression contorted to frown.
She found some soldiers on their side were getting hit by an invisible force and the number of wounded was slowly piling up on their sides.
"Catherine leads the charge. It seems I have to fight."
"Uncle Mag, Uncle Aslan we have to move."
"Assassins have sneaked in."
Christina muttered and with a step, her body disappeared transversing hundreds of metres.
Whoosh!
Appearing before the troops, Christina waved her sword bringing forth a terrifying storm.
Arrows coated in a dark aura that was sweeping towards them were deflected by Christina's sword swing.
BOOM!
A dagger flew past the knights, grazing past them and tossing them aside, pierced right into the neck of something invisible which was followed by loud shrieks.
With a slight distortion, a blurry image appeared and the figure dropped dead on the ground.
Mag like a lightning moved between the gaps of the fighting warrior after which dark-veiled figures started to drop down on the ground one after another.
The dropped figure had an expression of stupor wondering what had hit them out of nowhere.
Swish!
Running ahead, Aslan halted in his steps and threw a spear with the momentum of his charge.
The spear flew through the sky with a deafening roar leaving behind aftershocks.
BAM!
The horrifying force burst through the chest of a dark figure and carrying him, pinned him to one of the hills to the side.
Aslan then jumped and thrust his spear.
With mighty pressure, his attack punctured through the chest of the being who received the brunt of the attack.
Some of Kinley's troops, unaware of the enemy hiding in the dark, jumped with shock.
"Just when did this bastard sneak in."
"Where did they come from? Were they hiding in the Demon City?"
The Knights once catching their whiff started catching dark elves and slaughtering them.
"Everyone be careful Dark Elves have infiltrated in between us."Christina's voice reverberated across the battlefield warning everyone.
A bright light erupted from her sword and expanded over a radius of five hundred meters. The Dark Elves who were using their stealth skill to hide appeared suddenly and the soldiers pounced on lia hungry wolves.
Some of them were caught and tortured so that they could fork out any hidden info they have and fortunately, they were successful in getting some crucial intel.
Catherine who oversees this frowned. They are going to be in trouble if they don't act quickly.
As humans struggled to take on Dark Elves hiding in between them, Catherine's voice echoed.
"We have the Dark Elves army marching on us. The reported number seems to be around 100,000. I have sent some flying squad knights for scouting."
Christina appeared across Catherine with a solemn gaze and heard all the details carefully.
The one's sneaked in here are the elite forces sent to weaken their troops before the real one appears.
"We need to send a small force to intercept them now. Until we conquer this Demon fortress, we cannot split our forces otherwise we play right in their palms."
"The main forces are still a few kilometres away. We can ask our troops to trap them in the valley."Catherine suggested while thinking of possible countermeasures.
"Your Highness!"
Their attention was drawn towards the voice.
"Please let us take on them," Aeon said with a courteous bow.
Behind him Max, Ben, Antwan and Albert stood with a smile.
"Leave these kids to me. I will take care of them. Even if something unexpected happens, I can protect them."Hurt appeared behind.
All of them gave Hurt a sceptical glance and asked"What do you mean by kids?"
Catherine shook her head with a smile"Go and have fun."
"Retreat if you find any danger."
"Come with me, I will teleport you there directly."Hurt appeared out of nowhere and offered his help.
Hurt teleported to the edge of the cliff towards the Eastern side of the battle.
They stood over a precipice and looked at the layout. Hurt made some plans and discussed something.
The Dark Elves might have thought that they would occupy this area from this area which was above the ground of the battlefield however little did they know these six already laid the siege while 40,000 troops were marching towards them until they were kept busy.
.......
The Dark Elves with their nimble movements marched quite fast.
It had not been a few hours since they had got the report but they had already arrived on the battlefield due to their fast movements.
Hushh...Hushh...
The Dark Elves who were at the front suddenly rubbed their palms.
"I feel cold."
"Why is it chilly all of a sudden?"
"What are you on about?"
"I don't feel cold..."The Dark Elve who was going to deny it stopped as he saw the faint white mist escaping from his lips.
"Weird... it's cold.."
"Is there going to be snowfall?'
Calm and collected they looked up at the sky which was clouded with dark clouds.
"Maybe it's going to snow."
"If this happens, aren't we going to travel?"
As a series of murmurs leaked across the troops the coldness started to increase and a soon chilly wind blew blocking everyone's vision.
"All of you stop in your tracks. Something is wrong."The Dark Elven commander spoke.
The snow around them carried a bit of magic, unlike the natural snowfall.
The Dark Elves stopped and surveyed their surroundings however little did they know this was the worst decision.
Dark Elves who had superior hearing senses picked up faint vibrations.
"I can hear the sound of waves surging."
"Waves...."
Roth, who surveyed the terrain, frowned when he noticed something.
They are now in a narrow valley between two cliffs around them. Glancing up, he could see a shifting of snow.
His eyes widened and he screamed...
"Everyone runs. Escape quickly. The snow is falling."
His screams resonate with the dusty snow confusing everyone but soon they found out the reason.
The cliff of two sides has been laden with snow which was following them.
They are going to be trapped in between the avalanche.
Everyone could guess that the snow was made with magic and required a huge amount of mana. Being trapped under is not deadly for them nor does it possess any threat to them however it would slow them down enabling their enemies hiding here to take on them.
The only path for them to escape was through the front.
Without wasting any more time, they rushed ahead hoping to get out of the arc of the disaster.
ZIPP!ZAPT
Little did they know, at the front, they were going to be greeted by a thunderous welcome.
BOOM!
Making the ground tremble, the body of a giant-like human soars high up into the sky.
"I wanted to do this."
Ever since he had seen that lightning strike from Alex, he had always wanted to try it but he did not know how to do this until Alex bestowed him with the technique.
The clouds in the sky rumbled and circled.
The shadow of a figure holding a hammer descending from the sky appeared.
Lightning starts to flicker from his body.
Huge bolts were fired and just before he touched the ground, gigantic bolts of lightning fired from the sky at him.
The Dark Elves screamed in terror as if they had never seen or felt something horrifying like this.
A man wielding the lightening of nature is plunging straight upon them sending shivers down their spines.
"Lightning Punishment."
The bolt of lightning converged with Antwan's body and under the horrified eyes of the Dark Elves,he crashed onto them like a meteorite.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
