Chapter 169 - The Cavalry Is Here!
-----
The Infernal Generals sent to this world had very long and complicated names, however, they were addressed based on their capabilities, being given special titles.
The only female of the group, a beautiful demoness with red skin, black spiraling horns, long white hair, and sharp yellow-gold eyes wearing provocative clothes was the Infernal General of Temptation.
The male demon with the large figure, packed with muscles and reaching almost four meters of height wearing black armor atop his enormous body and wielding a giant axe and a club in each of his hands, with four black horns coming from his head and an eyepatch on his left eye was the Infernal General of Resilience.
The male demon with a slim figure, slender body, dexterous, evasive, and who wore tight black leather clothes that ninjas, spies, or assassins would wear, with even a long hood covering his face was only his two glowing red eyes were visible was the Infernal General of Stealth.
And lastly, the supposed leader, a male whose proportions stood between the two other males, with a mildly muscular body, a light black armor, and six horns growing out of his head, with a third eye in the middle of his forehead as the Infernal General of Might.
All four of them resembled charismatic characters right out of a comic book or an anime series, they looked flashy and incredibly demonic in nature too, their presences leaked not only Demon Energy but its superior version, Infernal Energy, which they had recently just acquired after their ascension into Lesser Infernal.
When a Greater High Demon reached the Lesser Infernal Stage, they were given two hundred years to adapt to their power and then made into an Infernal General, alongside three other of his same power level, they were assigned a few million Demons and then sent to other worlds to conquer them. The more worlds they conquered, the greater their rewards became and the faster they would be able to Cultivate and reach the top!
Since Ragnarök started that the Demons had been using this new method of growth, based on how many worlds they could conquer for their Supreme Leaders…
The Infernal Generals looked over their large and vast army of Demons march.
"North seems to be emptied by that being that defeated the Slarkobs and Celestials, let us go to the south, these uncharted lands seem good enough as a starting point…"
The Infernal Generals had decided to move to the south, as the north was cataloged by them as the enemy's territory, stepping into it would not be good, and they decided to procure more land and territory first, which could grant them in the way, more essence extracted from any exterminated endemic life forms, such as the abundant humans whom the Infernal Generals could barely wait to slaughter and devour their souls for great essence.
Demons were able to gain Demon Energy by absorbing not only the essence from the corpses of the beings they killed, but they were also able to devour their souls, something that actually not many other entities could do. Through this method of soul-devouring, their power was strengthened, and their Demon or Infernal Cores were nourished, giving them more energy!
Otherworldly souls usually had greater and interesting components, making them even richer in both flavor and essence than the souls of their own worlds, meaning that even the little soul of a weak mortal of Earth was worth more than the souls of demons in the world, the difference was often immense, making the demons addicted to eating the souls of beings from other worlds, making them one of the most vicious race, which not even the Celestials did such things as devouring souls…
As the Demon Swarm neared South America, a flashing light emerged from the skies.
"What's that?"
FLAAAASH!
A bright yellow-gold light came from the skies, surprising the Infernal Generals and the Demon Army.
It had a long and sharp shape, and the size surpassed 10 meters!
It looked like an enormous sharp stick made of gold.
But it was in fact, a spear!
The bright spear reached up to the demon army in no time, it was incredibly fast and crossed through the skies while leaving a bright golden rainbow behind itself, the Infernal Generals were left speechless at the splendorous sight, this weapon was of an incredible level of rarity! The sole essence it emanated was already above them!
The Infernal Generals quickly got into their battle positions, unleashing their powerful Auras as they tried to unleash a powerful long-ranged attack towards the incoming spear.
But the spear was so fast it managed to reach their army before they could do anything!
"Shit!"
BOOOOOOOOMMM!
As if it were a magical nuke, the spear reached the swarm of mortal demons and released a deadly explosion of blazing flames of the colors of the rainbow, the elemental essence was burning through the demons and turning them all into ashes! Their entire bodies were disintegrated, and the whole explosion expanded incredibly vast, almost 60% of the entire army of Demons was killed on the spot with a single attack!
Who could have done such an outrageous thing?!
The only one the Infernal Generals knew about that could do such a thing was no one else than Gustav, the one that defeated the Slarkobs and the Celestial King after all!
"T-This is ridiculous!"
The Infernal General of Temptation looked at the glowing spear incrusted in the ground, the charred corpses of over half a million demons lay down around it, as countless items began to pop up out of thin air.
The Infernal Generals were able to see such items, a strange and alien power that defied their own concepts had emerged.
"Their essence is being extracted and converted into physical items?!"
"What kind of strange power is this?"
"Incredible… these items are varied and useful!"
"If we could grasp such a power to convert essence instantly into items of this quality, our Demon World would become even more unparalleled!
FLAAASH!
And right after that, a man emerged in the skies, releasing a divine aura!
"I've been waiting for you!"
