Kayden took out his weapon as a murderous glint flashed across his eyes. “It looks like we have no choice but to go all out. It’s up to fate whether or not we survive.” Since things had come to this point, they could only go all out and fight for their survival.
Everyone was on guard as they stared ahead, getting ready to fight the demon beasts head- on. The ground shook violently, and they could all feel the murderous aura wafting toward them in the air.
Roar! A thunderous roar tore through the air, followed by countless other roars that reciprocated the first one. Fortunately, Jared and company were powerful enough to withstand the impact. If they were slightly weaker, the demon beasts’ roars would’ve burst their eardrums and killed them on the spot.
Jared slowly held up his hands, sending beams of light to shoot up into the sky. After that, waves of aura descended from the sky and spread across their surroundings. Everyone was astonished as they sensed the powerful aura of the arcane array as it surrounded them like an iron wall.
“This arcane array is quite powerful. It would’ve taken me a long time to try breaking it,” Claus muttered in surprise as he stared at the glowing arcane array.
He then sighed in awe. Jared has gotten so much more powerful! Back when we were on Encanta Island, Jared was still quite weak, but now, he’s grown to become so much stronger!
“Although this arcane array is strong, it can only hold off the first wave of attack from the demon beasts. Looks like it’s not that great after all!” Kayden scoffed.
Many people rolled their eyes in annoyance at what Kayden said. He was depending on someone else’s arcane array to stay alive, yet he was still making a sarcastic remark about it.
“Kayden, don’t stay in this arcane array if you think it’s not great. Step out of it. I’d like to see how those demon beasts will tear you into pieces!” Evangeline uttered, displeased with Kayden’s attitude. Kayden flushed red from embarrassment when he heard Evangeline’s words.
Just then, Jared stepped forward. He looked. serious, saying, “Everyone, now that the demon beasts have arrived, we must unite as one to survive. Hence, I hope no one will cower behind. to preserve their strength when we fight later.” Jared’s words were directed at Kayden. If Kayden were to preserve his strength by not giving his all, they would all be in danger.
“Don’t worry. No one would dare to do so in a life-and-death situation like this. That would be equal to seeking death,” Claus said to Jared.
“All right. We should be on alert then.” As soon as those words left Jared’s mouth, the Dragonslayer Sword in his hand buzzed and exuded an intense, murderous aura.
The others around him were influenced by his determination to fight. They also gritted their teeth as ruthlessness flashed across their eyes, prepared to fight to the death.
Just as everyone got ready to attack, the trees before them collapsed to the ground one after another. Countless demon beasts came rushing toward them. Those demon beasts were humongous and looked horrifying while brandishing their sharp claws and baring their fangs.
Some began trembling in fear when the beasts showed themselves, for there were too many of them. If it weren’t for the arcane array, the first wave of demon beasts would’ve easily trampled everyone to death.
Boom! The demon beast leading the group ran head- first into the arcane array and got rebounded. The other beasts behind it did the same, smashing themselves tirelessly against the arcane array.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Deafening sounds rang out continuously. Everyone watched anxiously as the demon beasts kept coming. Many demon beasts were knocked to the ground and were soon stomped to death by the others.
The demon beasts at the front wanted to stop, but the ones at the back kept rushing forward. Hence, they kept slamming into the arcane array one after another.
Countless dead bodies of demon beasts soon surrounded the arcane array, but the demon beasts never stopped charging forward. Everyone held their breaths as they gripped. their weapons and stared intently at the demon beasts before them.
The glow of the arcane array grew dimmer by the second. They all knew that the arcane array wouldn’t be able to hold for long and that it would only be a matter of time before it was destroyed.
