The Author's POV

"Looks like that's my cue."

The last thing Han Yufei heard was Liam's voice as he landed softly on the ground after leaping past the fortifications. In less than a second, a terrifying energy swept through the area and headed toward the lower levels of the castle.

Because the energy was so powerful, Han Yufei found that it was becoming increasingly difficult for him to breathe.

The only thing that he could do while that was happening was just watch as the energy came smashing against the lower floors, right where Liam landed.

Boom—!

Following the deafening sound of the explosion, thick dust billowed into the air and obscured Han Yufei's and everyone else's vision.

As soon as the dust settled down, Han Yufei was once again able to catch a glimpse of Liam, who appeared to be unharmed for the most part.

His gaze and the demon above met, and in that instant, time came to a standstill.

His figure disappeared after that, reappearing right in front of the demon that had produced the terrifying attack and he slashed with his sword.

Clang—!

A droning, metallic sound reverberated through the space above, and it continued to do so for a few seconds. The two of them immediately began to fight one another as powerful shockwaves erupted into the atmosphere.

While this was happening, the demons that were previously standing still finally decided to move.

The orcs responded in kind as they brandished their weapons and roared.

"Roooar!!"

"Hekk!"

"Haaaargh!"

As a direct result of their movements, meteor-like objects of enormous proportions began to shoot in the air, heading toward the demons in the distance, signaling the beginning of the war.

Instantly, agonized and pained screams started to engulf the entire battlefield. In this case, the screams were mostly from the demons that were taken down by the enormous boulders which were launched from the catapults at the front of the castle.

Thousands upon thousands of demons would get swept up by that single attack from the catapult.

However, despite the fact that a great number of demons were being killed with each attack, a new row of them would appear from behind them, replacing the previous row, and continuing their advance.

Their numbers seemed endless.

'This is not good.'

Han Yufei muttered inwardly as he gazed toward the distance.

Despite everything that the orcs were doing in trying to get rid of as many demons as possible, it was evident that their efforts were futile as the number of demons approaching their direction was simply far too many.

Compared to the orcen army, the demons were at least 20x their size. The battle wasn't one that had much hope of victory from the very beginning.

Nonetheless…

"I guess it's our turn to finally let loose."

Han Yufei suddenly heard Hein's voice coming from beside him.

Clank!

He brought his fists together violently, which resulted in a droning, metallic noise being produced.
