Chapter 202: The Pushed Guren and Losing Control
“Tsk! These demon troops are like endless ants!”
On the battlefield, Guren sliced through five demon infantry troops with his sword, muttering in annoyance.
Several hours had passed since the war began, and he had already killed countless demon troops with his blade.
Though they were not particularly strong, their sheer numbers left him feeling overwhelmed.
“If this keeps up, I’ll soon run out of strength,” Guren whispered coldly as he continued to fight and kill the demon troops before him.
In this war, he couldn’t use his holy power or his strength as a sword hero, relying solely on his physical abilities, which put him at a severe disadvantage.
After all, physical power was limited. Without tapping into his true power—his holy power—he would inevitably exhaust himself before nightfall.
However, he knew it wasn’t the right time to reveal his holy power, which left him deeply frustrated.
“That is one of the commanders of mankind’s forces! Attack him!”
At that moment, a loud shout suddenly startled him.
Looking ahead, Guren saw dozens of demon cavalrymen, fully armed, galloping towards him with murderous intent.
“Damn it! They’re really making me angry!” Guren, already annoyed, felt his anger rise as he watched them charge at him with fervor.
Gripping his sword tightly, Guren prepared to charge and cut them down with a single slash, but he was suddenly startled by the appearance of two magic circles forming beneath his feet.
“Not good!” Witnessing this, Guren was startled and attempted to dodge, only to find himself confronted by hundreds of magic-infused arrows hurtling toward him!
*Whoosh!*
*Boom!*
Unexpectedly, the two magic circles under his feet lit up brightly and exploded, generating billowing black smoke that spread across an area spanning hundreds of meters.
Simultaneously, hundreds of arrows aimed at him converged toward the smoke, leaving Guren’s fate uncertain—whether he was alive or dead.
“Did we manage to kill him?” one of the demon cavalrymen asked excitedly, halting his speeding horse.
“It seems we succeeded. No one could survive such a lethal attack,” another cavalryman replied coldly, a confident smile spreading across his lips.
*Buzz… Boom!*
Just as their confidence peaked, a bright white light burst from the black smoke caused by the explosion.
The light quickly dispelled the smoke, revealing Guren, clad in holy power, glaring at them with a slightly scarred face.
“Okay, you demons have pushed me into a corner, forcing me to use my holy power! Very well done!” Guren exclaimed angrily as his holy power erupted from his body, shocking the demon cavalry and the attacking demon troops.
“Holy power!? Damn it! Is this guy a hero? But aren’t there only two heroes on the battlefield—the spear hero and the bow hero? Then why does this person have holy power?”
“I don’t understand either, but judging from the holy power he emits, he must be a hero!”
“Damn! Another hero? Is he the sword hero?”
“No way! The sword hero was killed by our demon emperor! Furthermore, the Holy Empire of Elysium itself has confirmed his death and spread the news!”
The demon troops surrounding Guren stared at him in horror, their faces painted with disbelief.
As participants in this war, they were well-informed about the battlefield, including the two heroes of humanity who led the human troops.
However, they had never heard any information about a third hero; only the two confirmed heroes of humanity were known to be present on the battlefield!
Meanwhile, witnessing their shocked expressions, Guren felt not happiness but anger.
His original intention was to never reveal his holy power until the right time. However, he hadn’t expected the demon troops to devise such a deadly attack, forcing him to use his holy power to survive.
Fortunately, Valen was currently engaged on the middle side of the battlefield, far from him, while Luna, a kilometer away, was attacking the Demon Race’s troops with her holy bow. This gave Guren a sense of relief.
However, he knew well that he couldn’t maintain his holy power state for too long, as Valen might detect it from a distance. After all, heroes were highly sensitive to fluctuations in holy power, urging Guren to resolve the matter swiftly.
Taking a deep breath, Guren’s expression turned cold as he declared, “Since you’ve forced my hand, it’s time to retaliate!”
Shortly after his words, the holy power condensing around him withdrew back into his body, causing Guren’s light green eyes to blaze with a blinding white light.
*Whoosh!*
In a swift movement, Guren vanished from his position and reappeared before the dozens of demon cavalrymen who had intended to attack him.
Without giving them a chance to speak, Guren swung his sword towards them.
*Boom!*
The slash of his sword, infused with holy power, unleashed a devastating wave of energy that instantly obliterated them all.
As they watched the scene unfold, the Demon Race’s mage and archer troops were left stunned, struggling to comprehend what they had just witnessed.
“How is that possible!? Our elite troops were wiped out in an instant?”
“Damn! This guy is so powerful and terrifying; he gives me goosebumps!”
“He’s too powerful! His strength exceeds ours! Summon the Demon General to restrain! Troops, retreat!”
After receiving the order, the Demon troops quickly withdrew, putting distance between themselves and Guren, who now bore a ferocious expression.
“Want to run? I won’t let you off so easily!” Guren roared, ready to charge forward, but was halted by a voice from behind.
“General Guren, please refrain from pursuing them! We’ll handle it!”
Startled by the voice, Guren turned around and saw dozens of human troops staring at him with curious and excited expressions.
Seeing them, Guren was taken aback and promptly ceased the flow of his holy power, returning his appearance to normal.
Nodding at them, Guren replied in a nonchalant yet firm tone, “Very well, I leave it to you.”
The troops nodded and, without another word, swiftly pursued the retreating Demon forces.
Observing their departure, Guren narrowed his eyes, lost in thought for a moment.
“Do I need to eliminate all of them?” Guren pondered inwardly.
The troops had clearly witnessed his holy power, leaving him uncertain about whether he should eliminate them.
After all, the revelation of his holy power was a serious matter that shouldn’t be prematurely discovered.
However, after careful consideration, Guren dismissed the idea.
Killing them would weaken humanity’s forces and likely stir discontent among other troops, posing a greater problem.
“I’ll ensure they keep quiet about this,” Guren muttered with a nod.
Taking a deep breath, Guren’s expression hardened as he surveyed the battlefield, where demon troops clashed fiercely with humanity’s forces.
“Alright, it’s time to put an end to these damn demon troops!” Guren declared loudly, tightening his grip on his sword.
However, just as he prepared to advance, the sudden sound of footsteps and an indifferent voice from beside him interrupted the moment.
“So, you’re my opponent on this battlefield, huh?”
