Chapter 389: War
The battle continued, at times Jayden would get the upper hand but time and time again the demons showed strange abilities that restricted many of Jayden’s skills, and placed him in difficult positions.
After over five hours of constant battling, the voice of goddess Damuda finally sounded in his head as she spoke in a hurried tone:
” All the preparations are done, now the closing of that hole could finally start, hold all of them off for some more time, and I’ll use this chance to seal off the entrance again. ”
While slashing at a penguin and dodging the attack of one of the zebra demons, Jayden nodded and replied in his head:
‘ Make it quick, I can’t hold them all off for much longer, my reserves of internal energy are quickly drying up, at this rate I might get exhausted, even before the battle ends. ‘
Wounds kept appearing on his body, and the tentacles of the Sucking Demon would not let him use the Demonic Devouring arts, they gave up on sucking his energy and instead focused on disrupting the flow of energy in his body and stopping him from using many of his abilities.
Jayden couldn’t do much to them since they stayed some distance away while the other three types of demons kept attacking him.
Jia had taken out her ice sword, she would help Jayden whenever he seemed in a tough situation and stop any demon from stepping into the Kingdom, all ten of the elders worked along with her, Jayden had told them about the abilities of all the demons which helped them in fighting against those demons.
The zebra demon ran around Jayden and would strike him at any moment, and the Penguin like demon were more in a group of ten to fifteen, it was becoming hard for Jayden to defend against them, despite feeling their presence around him.
While he was dealing with two Mind Demons, he suddenly felt the presence of a few penguin demons behind him, Jayden immediately tried moving away from that place, since his sword was busy dealing with the Mind Demons, but even with his speed Jayden’s skin was finally pierced by the claws of one of the penguin demon, he instantly felt a strong poison rushing into his body.
His mind was dazed for a few seconds, which were not wasted by the demons, they took advantage of this chance and launched all kinds of attacks towards Jayden, who couldn’t move at all and felt all those attacks landing on his body.
He was thrown back and spurted out a mouthful of blood, the speed at which his injuries were healing had become a little slower than normal because of the lack of energy in his body, his reserves of energy were already gone, even though Jayden could still stop the sucking demon from taking away his internal energy, but he couldn’t take energies from the demons he was killing.
Seeing this Jia created a wall of ice around Jayden while he was in a weak state, the elders all summoned their spirits and sent them to help Jayden, one spirit slowed down the approaching demons a little, while one spirit began to heal Jayden, another fighting spirit stood in the way to give a little more time to him.
A loud boom sounded several times which was followed by the painful screams from the elders who threw out blood from their mouths after their spirits were destroyed, but this gave Jayden some time to heal, and the healing spirit was a great help.
He also absorbed the energy from a couple of corpses that were beside him, which helped him to get a little of his internal energy back, Jayden instantly ran towards the approaching demon and soon engaged in an intense battle.
The Monarch Rakshasas were fighting just as fiercely, wounds kept appearing on their bodies, but it wasn’t affecting their performance at all, as they stood beside Jayden and killed any demon that approached them.
Time passed slowly, and Jayden’s condition was getting worse but the number of demons on the other side hadn’t diminished by much, they kept appearing no matter how many were killed.
The divine beast hadn’t made any move or so Jayden thought, but it was busy with stopping Jayden from using any kind of space related ability.
As he fought Jayden noticed that the hole was slowly reducing in size, so he walked close to it and charged in between the enemy’s groups, his hands moved crazily around, he was completely drenched in their blood by now, pieces of bodies were lying all over the place, but whenever Jayden tried to use the Demonic Devouring arts, countless tentacles would approach him, disrupting any kind of flow of the energy.
A few more hours had passed, and the size of the hole had been reduced to half of what it was originally, Jayden had already exhausted more than half of his internal energy, and he also needed to summon Rakshasa one more time since after exhausting all its energy it had disappeared once more, but this time Jayden didn’t need to wait for a minute to summon it again.
Any demon that tried to sneak behind Jayden was dealt by Jia and the ten peak rank elders, although some of them were injured because of their spirits being broken, but they still did their best to support Jayden since they knew he was the first and last layer of defense that they could count on if not for him this place would already be in shambles and no one would be able to save any of them.
Jayden and the two Monarch Rakshasa formed a triangle, they were looking out for each other and blocking all the blind spots, attacks rained down on them from all the directions, and mental attacks were absorbed by the Rakshasa’s, while Nether Fire was successfully burning off any tentacle that approached, the penguin demon were no longer any issue, since Jayden hadn’t left any blindspot around him.
Their claws and sword were striking the high speed zebra demon, whose speed increased the longer they ran, they were like rays of blurring light as they kept striking him, inflicting many wounds on his body.
As Jayden fought, he occasionally glanced at the hole that kept getting smaller and was now even smaller than half of its original size.
But the more he looked at it the more Jayden felt uneasy in his heart, he couldn’t understand the reason but he felt that something big and possibly bad was going to happen soon, but without stopping to think about it Jayden kept moving to different positions avoiding all the strikes from the demons and killing them.
While fighting, he glanced back and saw that three of the elders were dealing with one Mind Demon, the Tottering demon and crazy bull were engaged with another Mind Demon while the rest of the elders were dealing with a sucking demon.
None of them were in any danger, Wang Jia used her aura to detect the presence of the penguin demons and stopped them from sneaking behind anyone.
