BXBX NOVEL Chapter 174 Festival Of Demon Stupidity (3)
Samiel conjured one Ice Trident through the Level 3 Ultimate Abitiy Winter Ruler; instantly seconds after, he used the Spell Fusion Metamagic Technique and infused the 5th Level Spell of the Void Magic onto the tip of Ice Trident and with his full force; he threw it at one of the Sivler-Tier Professionals of the Demon Army.
Just a second later, the Ice Trident with the Void Bomb Spell on it hit the target, as one of the Silver-Tier Professionals of the Demon Army, a member of the Green Winged Demon Tribe, was blasted into countless parts.
"Now the numbers seem much better."
Samiel stated as he arrived at the place where Dharzug and Juulius were surrounded by eight Silver-Tier Professionals of the Demon Army, while the demonkin were looking wary of the newcomer because all of them could sense, while the man was only Bronze-Tier in terms of raw power, he was far above them.
Similar to Dharzug, who in his strongest state could compete against even weaker, newly advanced Gold-Tier Professionals. Still, the Silver-Tier Demon Professionals were by no means pushover, especially the leading one, who appeared like a huge demonic bear standing on two legs. Even Samiel had to admit that this one was very strong even when compared to other Silver-Tier Professionals.
After one was down, the fight started when Dharzug attacked the leading Silver-Tier Professional who looked like a bear and with a single punch, he sent the demon flying several tens of meters away, crashing into other demon troops.
Seconds later, he attacked another of the Silver-Tier demon Professionals with his waraxe "da big choppa" forcing the huge demon to raise his arms in defense as the aftershock spread through the battlefield, sending several of the weaker demons that were near flying.
While Dharzug was entertaining some of the Silver-Tier demon Professionals, Juulius took two of the Demons, who were clad like assassins or rogues in identical outfits; even from the way they moved, it was clear that they were twins or had perfect coordination with each other, which made the fight one level harder.
And Samiel took head on the remaining three Silver-Tier demon Professionals; one of them was Imp while the remaining two were Incubi, basically a male version of Succubus. So neither of them were of combat-oriented species. Incubi, like Succubi, were proficient in Illusion Magic and they were not much of fighters, while Imps were more like cannon fodder than anything.
Samiel looked at three of his opponents, while he could see that the Imp wanted to escape from him because Imps at heart were cowards, they were not fighters or warriors, and they typically followed a very simple strategy: bully the weak, fear the strong and run from powerful.
Simple as that, and now when he saw that Samiel was powerful, he wanted to escape, unfortunately before the Imp could decide on anything, Samiel appeared in front of the Silver-Tier Imp, slashing at the demon with Ice Trident and using the Winter Ruler as he started freezing the Imp's body.
The Ice Trident pierced through the stomach of the Silver-Tier Imp and immediately started freezing the Imp's inside, effectively killing the creature within several seconds because the Winter Ruler froze the Imp's organs extremely fast without any problems.
Not wasting any second, Samiel turned around, seeing that another of the Silver-Tier demons, more precisely the Incubus who was closest to him, started shooting some kind of spells after him; only seconds later, he realized that they were trying to charm him through their racial Magic.
Unfortunately for the Incubi, there would be no result from them because their weak Charm Magic or whatever it was, would never be able to affect someone as strong-willed as Samiel. Not to mention that the Charm Magic of Incubi had one big downside, as it aimed at one's urges, something which Samiel was able to control perfectly.
People like Samiel who were essentially immune to their Charm Magic were their worst enemy because the strongest side of the Incubi and Succubi instantly became their death.
As a form of gratitude, Samiel almost instantaneously conjured one 5th Level Void Bomb Spell and sent the Incubus flying away while he rushed at the remaining one Incubus, who decided to meet Samiel in single combat.
This was an incredibly foolish motion because just from the way how the Silver-Tier Incubus moved, Samiel knew that he was way more experienced when it came to combat. In the end, as it was known, Incubi were not fighters or warriors and many of them, if not a heavy majority, didn't really have a talent for the aspects of war.
Samiel effortlessly dodged the incoming sword slash by Incubus's sword; gripping his Ice Triden, he jumped above the Silver-Tier Incubus, and with one precise slash, he severed Incubus's sword hand as the demon roared in pain while blood spurted all around them.
Instantly afterward the moment Samiel landed down on the ground, he stabbed through the Silver-Tier Incubus's heart without any hesitation, killing the demon on the spot. Among the racial Hierarchy of the Demonkin, in truth, sexual demons like Succubi and Incubi were pretty low in that pyramid because they were not really that powerful and their racial abilities were oriented mainly on the aspect of illusions and charm, which wasn't effective against everyone and could be easily defended against if someone knew how.
Samiel was even aware of some cases when there were Professionals who were born with innate immunity towards Charm Magic or Illusion Magic. Certainly, such cases were rare but not as rare as one would think, especially when it came to the Charm Magic, where it wasn't that hard for powerful factions that had tentacles spread all around the Cosmos to find a few of such people every few thousand years.
When Samiel turned to look in the direction where he sent flying the remaining Silver-Tier Succubus, he found out that the demon was nowhere to be found. It was clear as sky that the demon preferred to escape and that was what he did... Samiel didn't think too much of it because in the end, most of the demons were cowards at heart; approximately 80% of them would escape when faced fight they couldn't fight.
Soon enough, Samiel decided that he would be having some fun slaughtering the weaker demons because Dharzug was clearly enjoying his fight with the three Silver-Tier Demons, based on the fact that they were still alive, albeit gravely injured and struggled to survive against the huge Ork who was doing short work out of them with his waraxe.
Even his personal knight Juulius was having a good time with the twin-like demons, as they could really get past his defenses, but neither could he kill them in one hit because of their almost perfect coordination in defense and offense at the same time.
All the time the fights were going on, Samiel was always collecting the souls from the entire area of the Teleryan Pass because for him it wasn't a hard thing to do. After dealing with the Silver-Tier Demons, he turned his sight on the weaker demons who were fighting against the Bronze-Tier Undead while being commanded by Ashimer and supported by Negash who was casting one boosting spell on them after another.
Samiel smoothly captured the souls of the killed demon soldiers and the count was increasing by hundreds every minute. Naturally, there were also losses on the side of the Undead Scourge, especially in the forces of Negash, because a certain part of the demon army managed to break through the formation of Bronze-Tier Undead and get past them, numbering several thousand demons altogether.
This caused significant losses on the Undead, as several tens of Samiel's Bronze-Tier Undead which he controlled directly, were destroyed before they could seal the formation once again, and at the same time, Negash lost approximately 60% of his Undead in that fight, but he quickly resurrected killed demons as new Undead so no problem.
Of course, only Samiel's Undead were a problem because they were bitterly hardly cultivated and created by him one by one, as he wanted to have the best of the best, so losing even a single one of them was cut into his budget.
He then raised his Ice Trident as he conjured several 5th Level Spells of the Winter Magic called Clash of Glaciers, as enormous icy boulders appeared in the air above the demon soldiers and instantly fell on the demon soldiers who attempted to get away from the falling icy boulder but it was no to vail, as all of them who were in the vicinity of the fall were killed instantly.
Samiel then felt an influx of souls he collected as the soul count he was collecting increased by several hundred in one moment, which was certainly good for him. Not only that but the moment the icy boulders fell onto the ground and exploded, hundreds of ice shrapnels and pieces shot across the battlefield, killing everything in sight; some of the Undead were too destroyed by high-speed ice pieces.
Soon enough, the number of demon soldiers started dropping drastically with each passing minute and with each spell that fell onto the fighting demon soldiers, as Samiel and Yvraine were still casting one spell after another.
Yvraine was drinking some Mana Potions occasionally to sustain the requirement for Mana, while Samiel, thanks to his tremendous Mana Reserves, was relatively okey, and even then, his Mana Regeneration Speed was extremely fast, so he didn't really need to fear of Mana Exhaustion or anything.
Meanwhile, the fight was going on; nobody noticed that the commander of this army who was Golden-Horned Demon, silently disappeared amidst all the chaos that was on the battlefield. The commander was smart enough to notice that this was a lost cause and he used the time when all people who were commanding the Undead were not paying attention and he slipped away, escaping back to the Teleryan Pass, from which he would wander through the mountains before returned back to the camp of the Demon Army.
Samiel noticed this thing too late, but there was nothing he could do about it. It will still take a long time for the commander to return back barefoot because his mount was killed during the trap explosions in the Teleryan Pass and it would take even longer before the Demons decide to send another army.
But, before that, the Undead Scourge would long ago cease to exist because Samiel planned to leave this place and head towards the capital of the Human Brotherhood because the demons were already sieging the city as it seemed, though the city was still resisting very well, but that wouldn't last forever as their supplies were running thin as days go by.
