After the first portal was closed, the echoes of victory reverberated through the battlefield, and with a significant boost to their morale, the human army surged forward toward the second portal in the near vicinity, and so did the demon army.
The demons slowly disengaged from battles, their attention shifting towards the second portal while many of the stronger demons abandoned their ongoing clashes to gather near the second portal, forming a defensive perimeter.
The demon lower in number, but they were not pushovers, as with each passing second, the death toll on the human side was climbing rapidly, especially when humans cared less for their lives and threw themselves into battle just to accomplish their goal.
Every Human soldier on the battlefield was fighting with a clear picture that if they failed to close the portal, their peaceful continent would get plunged into darkness and war, and an uncountable number of their fellow human would die.
The area around the second portal became a battleground, with intense clashes and duels between individual soldiers and demons.
The demons were putting on a good show as they fought with their lives on the line, but if looked at with calm eyes, ignoring the chaos of the battlefield, he would realize how demons were subtly shifting their positions and directing their efforts towards a particular goal.
It was as if they were intentionally diverting attention from protecting the portal while maintaining a fierce façade in the heat of combat.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs the minutes passed, various faction made their moves, and among them, a group of six individuals belonging to a famous adventurer party successfully defended their scroll from the relentless onslaught of the demon forces until it crumbled to dust and a rune materialized in its place.
The tension in the air was palpable as the magic scroll took effect, distorting the fabric of reality, and like before, the space shuddered and quivered before collapsing upon itself.
The tension in the air was palpable as the magic scroll took effect, and in mere moments the space itself started to shudder and quiver while the color of reality began to twist and turn, creating alienated notices.
The phenomenon lasted for a few seconds, with the surrounding space destabilizing with every passing moment, before it finally collapsed on itself, sending out a massive shock wave that ripped apart the ground and injured humans and demons alike.
A moment of triumphant silence enveloped the battlefield as, with both portals gone, the human had accomplished their goal of stopping the demon invasion.
The soldiers momentarily relaxed their minds, allowing themselves to bask in the achievement and the relief that washed over them.
But victory, as fleeting as it was sweet, was not without its cost, and The toll of battle was evident in the weary eyes and battered forms of the soldiers.
They had fought with every ounce of their strength, and now they stood amidst the corpses of their fellow soldiers and enemies alike, catching their breath, knowing they had won the battle. However, it was not over because enemies stood before them, ready to retaliate.
The tranquility of the moment lasted for mere seconds before it was abruptly shattered by the guttural roar that brought everyone back to their senses, a primal cry that resonated with raw, unsettling power.
'Time to get away from this place,' Alex thought, looking at the demon commander who floated in the distance, with his appearance completely changed.
The demon commander's human face was transformed into that of a goat, and so was his lower half f the body, while his nine feet tall frame was transformed into a twenty feet towering beast with intense killing intent, and the dark flame went rampant around him.
"Humans, I will drown your continent in fear and death, and that is a promise that I make on my true demon name Wrathahr Xal'drag" The demon commander roared as he waved his newly transformed great sword sending forth a giant slash of dark flames, toward the nearby human soldiers.
Alex left the frontlines while the demon commander, his form wreathed in dark flames, burst forth, and in a display of sheer brutality, he tore through any human soldier who came near him.
The Fifth Rank captains moved to engage with him, but he ignored them and dived into the ranks of the frontlines unleashing a series of devastating attacks that cut through the human forces like a scythe through wheat.
The two regiments captains who got in his way, he ripped one apart in a swift and brutal motion, and then he swung his mighty sword, cleaving through the arm of the other captain, leaving a trail of carnage in his wake.
The other individuals in command acted swiftly, ordering the soldiers to clear the area and not engage in battle.
At the same time, the fifth Rank warriors threw themselves at the demon commander, knowing the bastard had lost the war and was trying to do as much damage as possible before dying.
The demon commander wasn't alone in going on a rampage as tens of other fifth-Rank demons joined him in his rampage, turning into monstrosities as they charged into human ranks.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIn mere moments the chaotic battlefield turned into a nightmarish symphony of violence as a few hundred demons charged into the human ranks, ripping apart any they could reach.
Alex watched from a safe distance knowing the demons were just putting on a show, creating a distraction for the sorcerers hidden among the demon army to complete their preparation to cast an area-wide teleportation spell to leave this place with their lives.
It took four minutes before a large circle spanning hundreds of meters appeared on the ground, and with its appearance, the demon commander vanished and appeared above the crowd of demons, holding a dark scroll pulsing with energy.
In an instant, the magic circle expanded to a vast scale, encompassing millions of demons and hundreds of thousands of humans within its grasp.
The magic circle shined with a burst of mana, illuminating the gloomy and devasted battlefield as every individual inside it felt foreign energy cloaking their bodies while the very space around them rippled with a silent hum.
It took, but a moment for every soldier to realize that they stood above a mass teleportation circle, and looking around, they saw the majority of the demons were inside the circle while very few were outside engaged in battle.
The captains seeing the situation, instantly roared orders for the soldiers on the circle to retreat, knowing they couldn't stop the teleportation and teleporting with the demons would be a death sentence.
The few lucky ones near the edge of the magic circle got away, but those engaged in the battle were surrounded and stopped in their tracks.
"Human, I will make good on my promise." The demon commander roared, his face caring a wide and malevolent smile.
The human army watched helplessly as hundreds of thousands of their fellow soldiers struggled to leave the boundaries of the magic circle, and before their very eyes, the circle vanished into a blinding light, and with it vanished everyone on it.
The demon commander, his malevolent smile etched into the memories of all who witnessed it, as his forces were swallowed whole by the eldritch power.
The ground trembled beneath the weight of their departure, and the very air seemed to wail in anguish as they vanished into a place unknown.
The human soldiers were left stunned, their moment of triumph turning to confusion and disbelief, as the realization dawned upon them that while they had succeeded in closing the two portals, they failed to exterminate the demon and had also lost hundreds of thousands of soldiers to unnecessary death.
