Chapter 242: The battle begins

The cold wind howled through as Kadyn looked at the mass of black figures rushing towards them. Millions of vampires were on their feet led by thousands of blood tribes through the air, flapping their ugly wings. It was a horrifying scene to look at.

Kadyn looked at the nervous faces around him and shouted. "Remember how they killed and slaughtered infants and women indiscriminately. Massacred villages and cities. Burned forests and crop fields. Do not think for a moment that you would be an exception. You would be the same if you were defeated. You women would be raped and eaten alive. Your children would become slaves. So fight with everything you have got if you want to protect your loved ones."

People’s faces changed when they heard his speech and their blood began to boil.

"Boom!"

Dynamites that they had laid underground set off, blasting tens of vampires into shreds, and it wasn’t the end of it, they had hidden thousands of explosives underground. As the vampires burst apart, satisfied looks appeared across everyone’s faces.

Though the enemy was still far away, they had dealt a major blow to them. Many vampires were already panicking running this way and that like a flock of sheep without a master. However, the blood tribe did not care and continued to rush through the air. When they were just a few hundred meters away Kadyn gestured and shouted, "Fire!"

There were whooshing sounds as people shot burning arrows toward the trench they had dug. As soon as the arrows landed inside the trench, it began to burn, blocking the path of vampires.

People on the wall gave a triumphant shout.

However, the blood tribe flew over the trench. Kadyn curled his lips and commanded, "Shoot!"

Immediately after his shout, many booming sounds resounded. Kadyn looked at the cannons, releasing smoke through their mouths, and looked towards the flying demons in the air. There were thousands of blood tribes in the sky; therefore it was impossible to avoid all the cannons.

The sky was filled with fireworks, smoke, and blood. It was a one-sided massacre. Kadyn, however, did not seem happy about it. He realized all these demons were low-level. Level 3 or 4. There were only a few who were rank 5. And rank 6 were completely missing from the group.

Furthermore, now the dust and ash obscured their view. They failed to see anything clearly. "Shit!" Kadyn cursed, he did not realize previously that they would lose sight of their enemy if they fired a cannon. This was the misstep.

Then he placed some kind of goggles across his face and peered through the dust. His expression changed and shouted. "Sit down everyone. The enemy is about to counterattack!"

Everyone heeded his command.

As soon as they crouched down a red light flashed and passed over them. However, some unfortunate people were too slow. They were sliced through in half. Their blood and feces puddled on the parapet as the nauseating stench wafted through the air. Their surviving companions shouted and screamed.

"Sit down!" Kadyn screamed, but they were too much grief-stricken, they did not hear him and met the same end as their companions.

"Damn it!" Kadyn cursed and shouted at his companions. "Blow the wind!"

Everyone nodded and began to cast a wind spell. Kadyn had given most of them multiple elements, and this was the time they needed to show their worth. As they blew the wind towards the dusty space, the sky started to become clear.

But this did not place a smile across anyone’s face. Because there was a group of thousands of demons standing in the air, holding spears in their hands. At the very front of this ground was a creature with the largest wings, eeriest horns, and ugliest face. He was their leader. He was a myth, a boogieman. He was Sephiran.

Kadyn eyed the demons in the sky and wings appeared behind his back and he climbed over the sky, followed by his hundreds of companions. "Oh, look who it is!" cackled the demon as he looked at Kadyn. "The great Harrod."

Kadyn’s companion stirred and surprised looks emerged across their faces when they heard the demon speaking. After all even they had no idea that Kadyn was the Harrod. "It feels nice that I am so famous," said Kadyn. "But who are you?"

Sephiran was left speechless. But soon anger bubbled across his face. "Just wait and you will know who I am?"

"Ok," said Kadyn yawning. "Can we start the show now? Or are you trying to kill me with that boring talk of yours?"

"Hahahaha!" Kadyn’s companions burst into a cackling laughter. They were too tense previously but now some of their tension had been released. It seems the creature in front of them was not as fearsome as they previously assumed. He could not even trash talk equally with their boss. What demon? What Sephiran the demon lord? He was shit in front of Kadyn.

Sephiran did not try to converse with Kadyn anymore. He gestured towards his minions and they flapped their wings, rushing towards Kadyn’s companion. Sephiran and Kadyn remained standing as the battle began, looking at each other.

"Let’s fight," said Kadyn and vanished, using space teleportation.

The demon did not budge from its place as waved his spear, blocking Kadyn’s attack without a problem.

Kadyn backed away and then shouted, "Win blade!" and flicked his hand towards the demon in the sky. However, Sephiran side-stepped, avoiding it with easy, a lazy and disdainful expression across his face.

"Is this how you are going to fight me, Harrod?" said the demon. "Do you think you can defeat me like this? If you don’t do anything, soon you will be alone standing alive," he said as he gestured towards his companions, struggling to battle the demons.

"Oh." Kadyn eyed the demon and nodded. "Then let me show you."

Then he closed his eyes and connected with the World Lotus inside his consciousness. As soon as he did it was as if the entire world was his to command and he was its ruler. "Word Lotus," muttered the demon as he licked his lips. He came to this world to devour this thing. If it wasn’t for Harrod last time he would have completed his task. And now when he came back again, it was again Harrod who was standing in his path.

Kadyn lifted his hand and it started to snow. Whenever it fell upon a demon, he started to melt but when it touched his companions it replenished their energies. "Protect yourselves!" shouted the demon towards his minions. But some of them were already melting like ice melts when coming in contact with fire.

"Brother!" Elora shouted when she saw Kadyn using such a powerful spell. She had seen this spell inside the library, and there were many major consequences of using it.

"Don’t worry," said Cecelia from beside her. "Kadyn looks somewhat different at this moment. I think he has a solution to nullify the spell’s negative effects."

Elora stared at her brother and examined him for a moment. His body was covered in golden light; he did not seem to be affected by the spell. He was completely fine. Elora sighed in relief and joined the battle. It seems she was worrying for nothing.
