Reborn In Tales Of Demons And Gods - Chapter 48

(Jun’s POV)

Seeing a horde of a million demon beasts running toward you is a sight to behold. The groups of Scarlet Ghost I saw in the Abyss Prison Realm didn’t even come close to these demon beasts in numbers.

As the demon beast horde got closer, the people on the wall start to get restless. Some of them look like they want to run away while others look like they want to run toward the demon beast horde and fight.

“Stay your ground! Preparation had already been made, you just need to stay here and defend the wall!” Ye Zong yells to calm everyone down. Looking around, I can see people relax a little.

When the demon beasts reach the first line of defense, flames erupt covering thousands of them, burning them alive. The one that’s not caught in the flames tries to go around toward other sections of the wall but a few fire arrows hit some oil in the trenches creating two walls of flame as the second line of defense, forcing the demon beasts to come toward us again.

Passing the wall of flames, some demon beasts cover in fire reaches the third line of defense, the explosive planted in the ground ignite dealing heavy damage to most of the demon beasts and killing another few tens of thousands.

Once the demon beasts pass the explosive, Nie Li uses his last defense method. He fire a bunch of bamboos filled with poison that causes the demon beasts to go berserk and attack each other leading to the death of more than 70 thousand demon beasts.

As everyone was celebrating the success of the traps, the demon beasts finally made it to the wall. Everyone tensed up and ready for the inevitable fight only to be confused by the demon beasts being stopped by the wall. Demon beasts continue to be stopped by the wall until a Black Gold rank demon beast finally appears. It leaps up the wall, punching the wall to make a hole to grab and use the hole to make it to the top of the wall where everyone is waiting.

The rest of the demon beasts down below tries to copy it and jump up but they weren’t strong enough to break the defense of the array. All their tries only end up hurting themselves due to the array reflecting the damage back at them. The archers on the wall take this chance to rain down arrows on the demon beasts continuously killing them. As for the demon beasts that made it up, it was quickly surrounded by a group of guards led by a Black Gold rank demon spiritualist and killed.

This happened all along the wall with Black Gold rank demon beasts making it over only to be killed by a group of guards and anything weaker will be trapped down below and be shot with arrows.

After a while, the demon beasts learn that they won’t be able to break through the wall so all of them retreat with only the Black Gold rank demon beast led by a Snow Wind demon beast that’s closed to Legend Rank. Behind the charging Black Gold rank demon beasts, everyone can see all the other demon beasts picking up large rocks and boulders to throw at the people on the wall.

After the first wave of rocks, I yelled to the guards, “Archers, focus on shooting the demon beasts in the distance! Everyone else, protect me and the archers from the Black Gold rank demon beasts!”

The prestige that I built up along the fact that I just saved some of the people here from being crushed by giant rocks made everyone follow along without question. Even Ye Zong saw what I was doing and order the guards to do the same as he, Jian, and a few family leaders head to deal with the strongest demon beast.

When I was getting ready for the second wave of rocks, Ning’er and Ziyun arrive next to me to deal with the black gold rank demon beasts. I figure there is no point in waiting to give them their weapons and now will be the best time to test the weapons so I took them out and give it to the girls.

“Inject your soul force into the weapons and refine them,” I told the girls as I hand them the weapons.

They accepted it and quickly do what I said as I use Thousand Shadow Hands to return the volley of rocks again. After a few seconds, the weapons glow brightly before disappearing into their soul realm which surprised them both.

“What was that?” They both asked at the same time.

“They are soul weapons. Able to be stored in your soul realm and grow in strength along with you. Take good care of it as you can normally only bond with one soul weapon your whole life. The only reason you can bond with two of them is because they are a pair.”

They each take out both their weapons and look at it in awe before putting one away since they don’t know how to fight with dual blades.

“Get ready, a Black Gold rank demon beast is coming this way!” I told the girls as I ready myself for another volley of rocks.

The demon beasts didn’t let up on their attacks until it’s finally dark and their numbers have been whittled down to only half of what they came with. As the sun set, the last of the Black Gold rank demon beast finally fall scaring the rest of the demon beasts off.

I didn’t just throw rocks this whole time though, I also use Thousand Shadow Hands to restrain the demon beasts whenever I saw a team having trouble but even with me helping, Glory City took some casualties too. I feel a little bad for not stopping the demon beasts horde even when I have the power to but I’ve already helped them more than enough. This is their home so it’s up to them to protect it.
