Chapter 980 All Out War (4)

?980 All Out War (4)

"That's their lord and Supreme Commander. Surround him! Don't let him return to the city wall alive!"

With a single order from Qiel, the demons started changing their directions. Even worse was that these demons were controlled by the yellow flowers. Without destroying their bodies, it would be hard to kill them.

Noel was looking for a path to escape. He knew that this would happen once he came out to the battlefield after all.

With that thought in mind, Noel started releasing his spiritual energy, planning to burn all these demons down.

Dimitri and Anna couldn't help but look at him, thinking the same thing, 'Should I use the True Spirit Body?'

Once they used the True Spirit Body, the balance would tip over. However, it also meant that they only had a limited amount of time to defeat as many enemies as possible. And with Qiel's brain, she would surround them with low level demons to exhaust them.

In the end, they might fail to kill a single Superior Demon and it would be impossible to continue fighting in this battle.

However, a loud, crashing sound soon echoed on the battlefield.

*Boom!*

"!!!" All of them were alarmed because it was coming from the east side of the city. When they turned their heads around, they saw a huge wall of water rising into the sky. The river was still doing its best to fill up the ditch, but it was clearly draining fast.

At the same time, the Superior Demons that were about to attack Noel suddenly got rained on by numerous lights.

The Superior Demons followed their instinct and created a barrier made of spiritual energy to protect them. The other demons were also stopped by these light beams.

When they raised their heads, they saw Milfa hovering above Noel.

"Milfa?!" Noel and Qiel widened their eyes in shock. They didn't expect Milfa to take action here, meaning that she had left her spot. If Qiel took advantage of this, they could wear down the barrier even more.

Milfa looked at the entire battlefield for the first time and noticed how chaotic it was. At the same time, it felt like the battle didn't progress much more than they originally expected.

'It seems that the reputation of that man is well-deserved.' Milfa thought while glancing at the water wall on the side.

While she was stopping the demons, Duke Briton suddenly came to her and said, "The battle doesn't progress as we originally expected. It seems that the Earl is planning something because of it. How about I take care of the entire side, so you can help him?"

"Duke Briton? Why are you here? What do you mean that the progress is slower than our expectations?"

"It's pretty clear from the sound alone. If we continue like this, the enemies won't be rushing to finish us. While one of their Superior Demons has died, they still have a large number. Just look at the demons around you. How many have you killed?"

"I…" Milfa fell silent. The battle had progressed for two hours, but when she thought about it, she had killed only 200 of them. There were four thousand of them, so at this rate, she would need twenty hours to finish all of them.

The demons might look aggressive, but they were actually doing their best to stop or even dodge her attacks.

The only side with an aggressive pace was the north wall.

It seemed that Duke Briton and Noel had realized this. That was why he was trying to do something to speed up the progress.

'An attrition warfare… Twenty hours… Another reinforcement?' Milfa sucked a cold breath. "So, that's how it is."

Duke Briton smiled. "I will create a path for you here and kill some Superior Demons. I can only buy you thirty minutes and after this, you might have to stop all these demons by yourself, including my side."

"Are you sure about this?" Milfa asked with a solemn expression.

"I am nothing but an outsider, even to this kingdom. It's not my place to intervene in this battle to be honest. That's why it's better if I use up all my power, so there won't be a lot of complaints to my kingdom."

Milfa looked at the duke's face and finally understood that the duke understood this battle more than anyone else in this place.

Milfa leaped into the air while saying, "It seems that I have underestimated the man who was known as the Great Emperor of the Sea, Fleet Admiral Briton."

"It's an honor." Duke Briton smiled.

Once Milfa left, Duke Briton looked at the demons around the barrier. "I don't suggest you stay close to the barrier."

The energy around him started to erupt as his body was enveloped by blue light.

The water became even more violent as if it were cheering for the arrival of its ruler. Suddenly, the water splashed and rose into the sky, forming a wall of water.

"True Spirit Body." Duke Briton shouted as another burst of energy shook the entire area. His form gradually changed. On his head, he formed a pair of fins. On his back, he formed a tail like that of a fish.

His shirt was ripped apart, but his muscular body was covered with a blue-colored scale. A part of his pants and shoes also got destroyed by the violent energy as his feet became webbed like that of a frog.

When he raised his hand, a trident formed out of nowhere.

It was then he stomped the ground with the trident that all the energy that enveloped his body dispersed, revealing his true form.

"Sea King Body."

Duke Briton looked like a merman, but instead of his feet turning into a tail, he formed the tail on his back, allowing him to walk on land.

Duke Briton waved his trident as if commanding the water. "Come forth, my beautiful water. Let's flood this entire area. Great Tsunami."

The wall of water that had been accumulated during the entire transformation suddenly rushed forward like a raging wave, engulfing all the demons around the walls. Even the four Superior Demons that attacked his and Milfa's areas were not an exception.

*Gulp!*

*Gaoo!*

The Superior Demons didn't know what happened, but they hurriedly released their own spiritual energy, blocking this wave of water.

The first one that was able to survive was the chicken. It was acting like a 'chicken,' so it deployed the spiritual energy first after thinking for the worse.

However, the floor was extremely high. The chicken managed to stop the wave, but all of a sudden, a huge shark appeared inside the water and soared into the sky after devouring the chicken.

The chicken was still able to free itself by splashing the water with its wings, obliterating the water shark.

*Pekoo!* The chicken didn't expect that Duke Briton would be able to utilize a strength of this level. It looked at the duke, thinking that he wouldn't be able to kill him. Instead of fighting the Duke Briton, it would be best to retreat until Duke Briton exhausted his power.

But to the chicken's surprise, Duke Briton looked at him with a smile. "Do you think you can escape?"

Suddenly, numerous swordfish jumped off the water, heading straight to the chicken.

The chicken hurriedly smacked them, but surprisingly, their long, flattened bill was as hard as metal. Even if the chicken managed to stop them, its movement would be weakened due to the impact.

As a result, a few swordfish managed to stab the chicken's body. Even with the chicken's best efforts, more and more swordfish pierced him. The chicken was simply confused because it had never fought an opponent with this kind of ability.

When it was about to die, Duke Briton sent forth another shark, bigger than the last one.

"The ruler of the sea, Megalodon!" Duke Briton smirked.

The chicken couldn't do anything other than let the shark devour it and drag it back into the water.

The other Superior Demons weren't so lucky either. There were a few monsters rampaging in the flood. On the right side, there were large tentacles, dragging them into the water to drown them. On the other side, a huge serpent was wreaking havoc.

In just a moment, the demons were swept away by both the water and the sea creatures that Duke Briton commanded.

Paladin Aurelia, who was stationed not far from him, couldn't help but notice the destructive power. "This man… is he truly retired? How in the world did he achieve this level of power? If he wishes to destroy the entire city, he simply needs to drown them. So, this is the famous admiral Briton, the one who is said to be undefeated in the sea. To think that the Zaecuria Kingdom would send him here."

On the other hand, the Water Lord was completely in awe. Even though they both controlled a similar thing, there was simply a big gap in their power. While some of this might be attributed to the True Spirit Body, it didn't change the fact that Duke Briton was strong enough to actually receive this ability.

'The ruler of the sea, huh?' The Water Lord looked in the opposite direction before shaking his head. "I have seen what the water is capable of. However, I still have the duty to defend this position. Although it's a shame that I can't observe him too much, I know what kind of power I should strive for."

Noel also witnessed this amazing power. Although he wanted to think about this as well as the reason why Duke Briton used this power, he had to escape from this place first. Looking at the situation, the flood he caused also affected the demons around it.

So, Noel said, "Milfa. We'll use Duke Briton's power to escape."

"Alright. Follow me." Milfa smiled.

"No! All demons, kill them!" Qiel shouted, realizing what Duke Briton planned to do.
