Despondence

With the order to survive, the army of demon hunter groups were extremely desperate in this situation. Tens of thousands of evil spirit monsters such as Orcs, Goblins, and Ogres continued to charge into their territory. With limited troops and supplies, they must fight desperately just to survive until reinforcements arrive.

In the northernmost camp there are 4,000 demon hunters fighting the evil spirit monsters so that they do not enter their territory further. The battle did seem one-sided, but on the human side there were still some strong fighters like August and Ariel who were the leaders in the group. They easily overcame the goblins and orcs blocking their way. But if it is an ogre, it still requires extra effort for them.

But they still fought with high fighting spirit, it also made the troops behind him become more courageous. With all their abilities they continue to fight against the monsters until death picks them up.

“Good water, show me your power and drown all my opponents. Sink!” A large-scale water magic is unleashed by August.

“Lightning Bolt!” Ariel quickly responded to the attack by combining her lightning-heavy skills.

A lunge from the lightning element was created right then and there, even managing to finish off hundreds of them in a moment. But the energy released for the attack was not small, then every time the monsters were killed also kept coming. Sooner or later, in the end they will also reach their limit.

In other camps, the same thing happened, all the troops there are fighting hard to fight the monsters. With the difference in numbers and strength, they still fought by risking everything. Although at some point there were people who were so conspicuous about his power, it still did not change the fact that a one-sided massacre was happening right then and there. The goblins and orcs were indeed not too difficult to deal with, but if there were ogres there, then dozens of people or even hundreds would definitely die instantly.

“Ckk.., high-level evil spirit monsters, why are they so many?” Iris said annoyed.

Evil spirit monsters such as goblins and orcs kept coming every time they were finished off, then the ogres who had so much power. With such a difference in combat strength, it was almost impossible for them to endure for such a long time.

“Typhoon! Iris, let's work together!” Orin with his combat mode came to where Iris who was the nearest battlefield of his camp.

“Orin, how about the other camp circumstances?”

“The seniors of the first gene have spread to various places, I think it will be quite helpful.”

Whooo.... Blar....!!!

An area fire magic was launched towards the two of them by an ogre that was near Iris and Orin.

“Ice Protection!” Iris who knew the coming of the attack instantly activated her defense skill.

“This magic.., Ogre?” Orin was surprised.

They also set their sights on the Ogre, its huge body with fangs and horns that look very sharp, it is a high-level evil spirit monster, Ogre. They were identical to the barbed mace as his weapon and had high-level area fire magic. Each individual has a very threatening force in the war even though their numbers are not too many.

“If there is an Ogre here, it means they have mobilized an army of one division or even more!”

“Iris, what will we do next?” Orin.

“We will face them as we should. ‘Kori no Jo!” Asserting that she was getting serious, Iris instantly summoned her legendary divine level spirit and activated her combat mode. Instantly an ice field was created there.

“I get it, come... Sylphid!” a legendary level wind spirit called Orin was first before many people. A huge overflow of energy was released by his protective spirit, making the troops around him feel very helped by the strong assistance like him. “Let's start, Wind of Destruction!” An area magic so vast was created by Orin and took out many of them in just an instant.

“This.., I never thought you had this much power!” Iris said with admiration. He also began to move to finish off the monsters that blocked his path.

“I'll also help you!” Orin increases the strength of his combat mode and fights alongside Iris. A layer of wind elemental armor enveloped his body as if emitting a green color that was so dark. Some very sharp wind blades also moved around itself as a defense. It was the strongest ability he had at the moment, one he had created out of feeling guilty about what had happened to his closest friend Ola.

“I won't let people experience anything similar to him, Window Blow!” A fist of wind exploded so fiercely in the battle. With that guilty feeling, he managed to increase the strength of his skill to several levels. Even that attack obliterated everything that was within its path of attack.

“Orin, if you are so excited for the sake of that person, then I will do it too!” Iris ran towards the Ogre in front of her and made several attacks to her vital point. “Not deep enough huh? How about this, Freezing of Space and Time!” In an instant, all the opponents who were inside his field instantly froze.

“Death Incision!” Then a continued attack in the form of a hard stab was given Iris on the ogre, using his sword covered in ice, the body of the evil spirit monster was successfully destroyed with one attack. “This is not good, if I continue to use full strength only to fight one ogre, I do not know what will happen to the future.” Every skill and magic he used consumed such a huge amount of energy, even though his divine spirit was able to gather energy while Iris was fighting, it still took time.

On the other hand Orin without thinking of a risk, continued to finish off the evil spirit monsters one by one. Some orcs that had evolved into general orcs were troublesome indeed, but they could be killed by just one strike. But as more and more were killed by the troops, something strange began to feel there. “This is the same as before, the more they are killed the stronger they are left. Why is this so?” Orin complained in his heart.

As he was thinking about it in the middle of the battle, a gravitational pressure so intense suddenly struck him. “This.., where did it come from?” Due to the intense pressure, Orin was unable to move his body at all.

“Orin!” When Iris wants to save Orin, several Goblin Riders and two Ogres stand in her way. “Wire, if no one helped him then we could lose a great asset in this battle!” Amidst his worries, all the monsters around him started attacking him simultaneously.

“Gawat..,” at that time he thought he would not have time to avoid or withstand the attack, but suddenly hundreds of large arrows rained down on the monsters around him. “This.?”

“Quick get out of there, Iris!” It was Anie who had used the power from her weapon spirit. An x bow shot towards the monsters that were approaching them very quickly. Orin, trapped in gravity magic, has also been saved by Narta who just came with Anie.

“Their number is endless, even we can not know the situation in the other camp.”

The distance from each camp was quite far, as each camp had many members so they divided the surveillance area. However it turned out that such a formation was extremely difficult for this kind of condition. Because their location is also not parallel, automatically being turned outside must face them first.

“I'm very helped, Anie!”

“I know you're worried about Orin, but you should also pay attention to your surroundings!” Anie reminded.

In the middle of the conversation, they try to regroup their plans and protect each other. But a very undesirable thing just happened, in the first camp where August and Ariel were, a red beacon was just seen. It made the fighting spirit of the troops disappear in an instant. Instantly their faces became very pale and tried to avoid the reality. The flare was a signal indicating that the camp had been successfully breached, in other words it was a signal of defeat on the side.

“The first camp has been successfully breached, ahahaha.” Said one of the soldiers in despair. He started laughing like a madman in the middle of the battle. Not only him, many of the troops began to lose hope right then and there. Defeat and death are just biding their time, that's what they all think.

“This is really bad, if it continues like this, then it will be very detrimental to our side.” Iris tried to think of a way out for this matter.

“Nona Iris, what should we do now? Isn't retreating the best option?” It was Grey who came to Iris with a panicked face.

Iris ignored the question, but she also did not want to answer it. If he was wrong in making a decision, then there would be a lot of lives to be sacrificed right then and there. Therefore Iris remained silent and only focused on fighting the evil spirit monsters.

“Nona Iris please answer my question! Do you still think that the kingdom will send reinforcements? It will never happen, even if it happens we will not have time to live at that time if the situation is already like this!”

What he thought was not wrong, waiting for reinforcements from the kingdom was too late. With the breaking of the first camp, it had become a step towards defeat.

“Whatever you do is up to you Grey. Here I am not a leader, besides that I have indeed believed that reinforcements from the kingdom will surely come. No matter when they arrive, I will still fight here!” Nevertheless, Iris continued to fight and stood firm on her beliefs.

“Why do you do it so?” Grey asked with a sad expression on his face.

What you're doing isn't wrong miss, but I just don't want anything bad to happen to you. It's just my personal feeling, but I really hope you'll survive all these disasters.

What Grey wants most from the past is to be able to fight beside Iris. As a person who admired him so much, Grey even trained so hard that he reached this point. In the investigation, as a demon hunter he was able to fight alongside Iris as the vice-chairman of his group, he was very happy to know that, but today came. A day that feels will destroy everything he has, whether his determination, dreams, or obsession with Iris.

Therefore he wanted Iris to retreat in this war so that her life would not be in danger. As one of the great sources of combat power, Iris would certainly be at the front of the battle. It was the unexpected that would happen to Grey that was so worried about at the time.

“Grey, I know how you feel right now, and what you think of me. But you know Grey, my only wish is to prevent those moments from happening again just because of my incompetence. Therefore I will continue to fight to prevent all these things.” But Iris' answer this time made her aware.

“Nona Iris, forgive me.”

What I did, all I wanted was to be able to fight by his side, if not this moment then there would never be time again.

“I will also fight by your side, I will accompany you until the end of my life Miss Iris!” Grey also recalled his initial intention of training to this extent. If he did not fight now, then there would be no more time to fight by his side. Because if Iris doesn't survive then it's the last time Grey sees her, then if she manages to survive, then Iris' development will leave her even further behind.

By risking everything Grey also began to face the evil spirit monsters.

Even so things still got worse, the desperate troops began to be finished off one by one by the monsters. Indeed from the beginning of this war has indeed become a one-sided massacre, but with the intrusion of the first camp, it makes the conditions more clearly visible. The longer they fought, making them realize that what they would do would only end up useless, waiting for reinforcements to come would also not have time. With the struggle that was filled with despair, the losses suffered by the human side were also getting bigger.

“What will be here only?” Said Iris who had run out of energy to face the evil spirit monsters.

“Entai?” Replied Orin who was equally powerless.

There only seemed to be five of them who still survived the battle in that place. Then in some other places also appear red flares have been lit many times, it makes them more resigned.

“How are things going? I really want to know.” Narta said as she fired a red flare.

Without energy, they can only fight like ordinary humans, but with the fatigue and injuries they have suffered, they only resigned to what would happen to them in the midst of the siege of the evil spirit monsters.

“Ghahahaha, you humans are ultimately only this limited. Those of you who have prevented us from meeting our creator will surely end up like this!” one of the Ogres taunted the five of them.

With their hopes shattered, they waited for death to come to him at that place and that very moment.
