Chapter 406 War For Astor Kingdom VIII
As he was hit by the Holy Energy, Alros almost fell to his knees, feeling his body wailing in pain from the Holy Energy. It feel like he was being burned by an immaterial fire, onenthat could even destroy his demonic side while leaving his flesh intact.
Since he was a full-fledged demon instead of a corrupted being though, it was cause his entire body to be burn to ash by the Holy Flame.
"Make sure the Magic Circle well will remain intact! We need it to stand any chance against the demon!" an older man wearing the most decorative robe among the Holy Church forces exclaimed, all while sending in waves of Holy Mana to support the Magic Circle.
'How did they form the Magic Circles so quickly?!' he thought in despair. After all, it take times and resources to crafts such powerful Magic Circle, and from the look of thing, it was done in less then an hour, a feat that even a group of Archmage should be incapable of.
'I need to do something to break the Magic Circle!' he though, quickly thinking of the wah to escape from his current dangerous situation.
Since Demonc Energy would be countered, it seem he need to rely on Elemental Magic. It's a good thing he mastered many Elemental Magic, with his understanding of it being as great or greater than an Archmage.
Focusing mana on his palm, a concentrated Fireball formed on it, sending strong heat waves that made some of the grass caught on fire. It was a spell made from Grand Fireball, with a twist.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Instead of letting the Fireball to take a large form capable of decimating entire armies, instead he compressed the Fireball, which would allow it to pierce through tough defenses and if the compressed state was released, it would cause an explosion no lose than an artillery bombardment.
Throwing the compressed Grand Fireball at his enemy, it sailed through the air, scorching and burning everything into cinder as it made contact.
Yet, even as the deadly attack was about to hit, a white barrier appeared in front of the man, blocking the powerful attack and sending a powerful shockwave that almost send the hurting demon flying away.
Alros grit his teeth, watching his attempt failed.
"Keep up the chant for the gods! We shall burn his body with the Holiness of our deities!" the man then recite something. Whatever it was, it was effective against him, causing his body to burn at an even faster rate.
Your next chapter is on empire
Yet, despite the pain scorching his bone, he refused to give up. He get all this far, he will not let him fall during his first conquest!"

Gobruk narrowed his eyes, eying those that attack his master. Despite not wanting to believe it, his master seemed to be on the losing side.
As his most trusted monsters, the Demon Goblin King wanted to help him but the energy around his master is one that is potent enough to hurt his master while causing him to be very unease from the aura.
Raising his arm, Gobruk unleashed a wave of demonic energy, trying to see if his attempt would be effective.
As the demonic energy sailed through the air, it hit a barrier, though instead of a powerful shockwave, it dissipate.
Gobruk watched the entire happening and could easily tell, the energy was purified at an insane speed.
Knowing the reason he feel at great unease is because of the barrier and the energy it emit, Gobruk wondered what he could do.
After all, the system space was in the hand of his master, and he doubt his master could call for help. All in all, he need to think of a way to win help his master.
"Aarghh!"
"Raaarghh!"
He then remembered that his master is not the only one in trouble. Whether the other front is attack or not is the question. Though, even if the other part of the defense lines were captured, it will not do much as if the master was killed, the monsters would slowly lose their cohesion and run away in terror.
He put master in greater priority before calling the rest of the council. When they appear in front of him, they seem to be slightly disheveled, though with no injuries on their side.
They began to ask him question but was stopped when Gobruk pointed at something. Realizing the reason for the sudden call, they stopped talking, letting the Demon Goblin King tell them of the situation.
Quickly, Gobruk told them of what happened before, and what he was planning to do to help the master escaped.
When they hear the plan, they were slightly reluctant but accepted it regardless. After all, Gobruk is right. They could replace any monsters, even though they are unique in each way. Losing their master though, it was a disaster that would cause the entire group to fall apart.
And so, roars can be heard from the location of the 4 Demon Monsters, calling upon the monsters still battling the human force.
-x-
The roar were heard by all the monsters, causing them to pause temporarily. While it would lead them to be killed faster by the human, such thing did not occur as the human also paused from the roar.
"What is that?" General Lanki asked, confused by the sudden roar. But before he could order anything, the monsters suddenly retreated, leaving a token force that would destroyed, though it would take them some time to do so.
As the monsters flee, the 4 Generals realized it immediately.
"They are heading to where the demon is!" General Pharrell exclaimed, the others looking slightly panicked though they were able to control themselves.
The 4 Generals nodded as they issued a new order.
"Attack the monsters and make sure they did not attack the Holy Church forces!" the soldiers from the regular armies obeyed while those from Noble Armies slightly hesitant before moving towards the enemy forces as well.
And so, a deadly game of tag occur, with one side trying to get to their master while the other side try to make sure the other side did not get to their master.
All while Alros still in pain as a part of his hands burned from the chanting of the Holy Church elites.
