Huv Loper, dressed in his elegant black and blue uniform, watched with his blue eyes as his subordinates battled the conspiring demons. Next to Huv Loper were two demons who had recently reached the sixth rank (starting point). The two had arrived as reinforcements sent by the archduke to ensure the safety of Huv Loper, who did not like to engage in battle.

The two demons wore black and blue uniforms. They were brothers, although only two years apart in age, they always trained together and used the same resources. The two demons looked like twins, as they both had green horns, black hair, green eyes, pale white skin, were slender in build, and had attractive physiques, so they had no shortage of women. The reason the Archduke assigned them to protect Commander Huv was because, with their 100 years of life, they had trained as assassins, so their reflexes and instincts were so quick that they were very likely to be able to avoid any surprise attack against Huv Loper.

"This is going to take time, but we have nothing to lose by killing them here, whether they are conspiring demons or hired mercenaries. If they are allying themselves with the remnants of the Cudernic and the humans, it would be best to kill them," concluded Huv Loper, without taking his attention away from the battles raging along the road leading to the Marrac Mountains.

Huv had been watching the battlefield closely from the moment the battles began, after which he could only conclude that the enemies were attacking solely with numbers, and that conclusion unsettled him. That's why he didn't order the abrupt annihilation of all the enemies, as he had seen what the conspirators were capable of, and therefore considered that a mistake could be fatal.

"That's the problem with you strategists, you think too much," said Aberquian, one of the two brothers who protected Huv Loper.

Setser, for his part, preferred to remain silent, although like his brother, he was bored.

-Am I overthinking this? -Huv Loper used his demonic perception and activated a demonic resonance spell. He was not someone who dismissed anyone's words, especially those that arose spontaneously, as he believed that sometimes there was lucidity in spontaneity. In this case, Huv Loper was trying to track down any enemies who might be watching the battlefield in the most remote areas, as he believed they could use their own caution to stop him.

"That sword makes me feel sick," thought Selef.

Raden was dressed in an elegant blue and white uniform with silver trim, but his appearance was sinister. The right side of his body seemed to be rotting, he was missing an eye, and on the other side, he barely retained the handsome, youthful appearance he once had, as he seemed to have aged about 30 years.

Raden swung his sword, and Selef created a stone wall coated with demonic energy.

Boom!

Selef rolled on the ground after the wall was reduced to dust. He had to use a large amount of demonic energy to create a demonic barrier capable of resisting while retreating abruptly.

Demonic barriers were another of the five personal diagrams that Selef had created after facing Selenia and understanding the usefulness of demonic barriers.

Selef quickly got back up.

"You didn't say you were going to take revenge for what I did to your fiancée. It seems that this time you'll have to watch me hurt that nasty demon woman," said Raden.

"This fool just wants to provoke me, but I won't fall into my own trap. Besides, that demonic sword steals vitality. They're definitely using him as cannon fodder, and he either doesn't realize it or doesn't care. In any case, he's a dangerous enemy," Selef concluded in his mind as he looked at the crack in the gem on his demonic staff.

"I think it will soon reach its limit," Selef thought about his demonic staff, yet he used it to create two radiant spheres of fire while firing stone bullets at Raden.

Raden didn't even bother to dodge the stone bullets.

Bang! Bang! ...

Some stone bullets exploded, but the aura around Raden was so strong that the explosions didn't even manage to alter Raden's aura.

The eyes on the sinister sword that Raden possessed focused on Selef, and at that moment a powerful thirst for blood erupted from the sword and from Raden.

Raden smiled maliciously, his murderous intent evident, then leaped forward at a speed that Selef could barely perceive.

...

Ilcia Besid and the professor accompanying her were casting spells nonstop against the horn that was trying to use the remains of the demonic sorcerer to take shape. After most of the remains became useless, the horn began to explode the remains of the bodies of the abominable beings that had died.

"We can't stop. If it's an incomplete abyssal summoning, it will stop when it can't take shape," Ilcia said, but she had only just uttered those words when she had to roll on the ground to dodge the claws of a humanoid abominable creature with skin similar to the others, the only difference being that this one had golden skin.

The professor who had accompanied Ilcia was not so lucky. The claw of the humanoid abominable being had pierced his back and exited through his stomach. However, the professor did not die in vain. He burned his demonic core and used the demonic energy he obtained to create an explosive spell that caused the gem on his demonic staff to glow intensely.

Boom!

The powerful explosion blew the professor and the abominable humanoid being to pieces. However, Professor Ilcia did not have time to think about the sacrifice the professor had made, because she used her strength to move away from the place where the incomplete abyssal summoning was taking shape.

...

On Marrac Mountain, everyone began to feel the chilling and profound presence of the first abyssal invocation that was about to emerge.

The moment Professor Ilcia left the place, all the remains gathered and created a fleshy sphere that began to pulsate while emitting a dark energy.
