Chapter 243: Chapter 118: Counterattack against the Beast Tide

"Roar!!"

Yila, amidst the roar of an unidentified dog-shaped magic beast, simply reached out and shattered it... truly shattered it, turning it into a pile of crushed bones and meat paste.

Not a single trace of blood tainted his body.

"This way! Pick up the pace!"

As Yila shouted, he swiftly flew towards the Demon King Territory, with a large group of little demons and non-enraged magic beasts trailing behind him... it wasn’t just that tree hollow.

Almost wherever Yila passed, the residents of the forest regarded him as a savior and gathered around him... and perhaps, it was indeed true. Now, only Yila had the power to save them.

The riot in the forest grew increasingly apparent.

Soon, the pressure would reach its peak...

Yila pressed forward, while other seekers of help followed behind him... there were still plenty of frenzied magic beasts rushing at them, but Yila killed them one by one.

*For some reason, although the path was extremely perilous, it seemed unexpectedly safe.*

*Despite the variety of howls and the crackling of flames all around, it was surprisingly quiet...*

*Following behind Yila, there was basically nothing to worry about; any attacks were dealt with before they were even detected, and their pace was perfect—*

The speed was fast, but even the slowest companions could keep up with some effort.

It was very reassuring.

...

"Boom!"

Yila suddenly leaped out of the forest, tearing a large opening in the beast swarm, with little demons and little magic beasts affected by the swarm trailing behind him.

They were safe...

And at that moment, Yila witnessed the outbreak of the beast swarm with his own eyes.

Like the rising tide of an ocean, countless four-legged wild beasts swarmed out of the forest like maniacs, toppling trees, and charging in all directions, devouring everything in their path.

Including the slower frenzied beasts.

--------------------

"Hold them off! Spread out the pressure, fortify the line... prepare for impact!"

Satan Ye shouted. At some point, she had become capable of commanding the army on her own. She looked at the overwhelming mass surging in the distance and felt a bit suffocated.

*Facing this overwhelming wave of magic beasts, the pressure on her heart was immense.*

"Huff... Huff... Mr. Yila, are you not back yet?"

Speaking softly, Satan Ye closed her eyes forcefully, then raised her head again, seeing the approaching beast swarm. She entered the state befitting a Demon King and shouted, "Guards! Raise your shields!!!"

"Boom... Boom!"

The Black Knights rhythmically and uniformly raised their shields, forming layers upon layers of a military formation. Behind them, the headless knights held their lances ready in the gaps between the shields.

Behind them were densely packed little demons... ready to ensnare any beasts that slipped through.

At this moment, some beasts discovered the blood and flesh near the Demon King Territory and attempted to charge in, but were quickly pushed aside by the beasts behind them, being trampled to death.

In other words, the Demon King Territory only needed to deal with the straightforward beasts; the rest couldn’t stop or turn and would simply pass by.

This was good news, but the defensive line of the Demon King Territory was still very long, far longer than the territory itself, because... the excess beasts would swarm towards other territories, so some had to be dealt with in advance.

Bear some of the pressure to protect other monsters.

"Ranged troops!"

Satan Ye shouted as she looked around at the succubi, insect-man hunters, and other monsters with ranged attack abilities. After taking a deep breath, she yelled, "Fire at will!!!"

As soon as her words fell, countless bone spikes and fireballs flew towards the beast swarm, raining down like a dense barrage of arrows, unleashing relentless firepower.

The beasts hit by the spikes whimpered and stopped almost immediately, only to be trampled into meat paste by their companions... and the monsters hit by the widespread magic met the same fate.

Almost instantly, the first wave of the beast swarm’s attack was less deadly.

At this moment, the beast swarm reached the top of the defensive line...

"Roar!!!"

"Howl!!!"

"Squeak squeak squeak!!"

Amidst the howls, the Black Knights clashed with the beast swarm and were immediately supported by the headless knights behind them, slashing down the beasts. The corpses piled up quickly, only to be gnawed on by the next wave of beasts.

The beasts gnawing on the corpses were soon trampled by the ones behind them... back and forth, the pressure on the Demon King Territory was surprisingly low.

Even the prepared large-scale destructive battle skills went unused.

...

Vera abandoned her usual playful demeanor and began chanting seriously... she was a witch demon, a spellcaster. In the Demon King Territory, her role had never been officially stated.

But it was clear she was... more combat-oriented.

"...Souls born from this moment, return to the obscure and humble, illuminate the pale earth, construct the prison that brings you forth, liberated from the mud, reshape the shell into a puppet."

After a long chant, countless points of mana light scattered from Vera, flying around the Demon King Territory and sinking into the ground... then, a dense army of undead rose.

Those who were buried in the past now stood again... once more fighting for the Demon King Territory.

Even with Vera’s limited mana, the summoned undead—skeletons, zombies, and ghouls—were numerous enough to somewhat contend with the beast swarm.

*From this perspective, the crisis for the Demon King Territory didn’t seem significant... but Yila, who had ventured into the forest to rescue the little demons, had not yet returned.*

*It made Satan Ye a bit worried.*

...

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

With six consecutive blasts of flame, a destructive light flared up in the distance. A pair of massive wings, unmistakably belonging to Wing Shattering, appeared on the horizon.

Beside him, some crimson mana-enveloped spheres protected some monsters and pitiable magic beasts, like meteors flying in, burning the beast swarm to ashes along the way.

...

"Mr. Yila!"

In Satan Ye’s delighted voice, Yila lightly landed on the outer wall of the Demon King Territory. The two giant wings behind him shattered as he looked at the harmoniously coordinated army, smiling as he ruffled Satan Ye’s head.

Then... he naturally took over command.

"Mage division, divide yourselves into three teams according to your zones, from front to back... assess your locations and then spread your fire coverage towards the far side. One team, focus the bombardment on the closer zones!"

"When I shout ’Stop,’ the mage division stops firing immediately. Guard division, advance in formation!"

...

"Phew~"

Seeing Yila so casually directing, Satan Ye’s taut string of nerves finally relaxed. She lazily sighed, her tail starting to sway naturally.

The time now belonged to Yila.
