Even though the brown-colored mana wasnât specifically targeted at someone, it was useless. The moment the Land Worms entered, many spirits died and the spirits that survived instinctively started to attack them. Since both sides were fighting to live, it was extremely violent.
It was a mess. Piles of corpses were either flying in the air or being buried in the ground. Every time the Land Wormâs body hit the ground, the earth shook violently.
The spiritsâ screams filled the air. The siege weapons were now targeted towards the Land Worms instead of the walls, but aiming was meaningless because they couldnât tell the difference between the two. On top of that, the Free City was attacking as well. Arrows filled the air and the spirits that were fighting the Land Worms had no choice but to die.
A thousand spirits wasnât a small number.
However, it didnât mean that they were able to look after each other on the battlefield. The chaos that began in the center spread out to other parts of the battlefield like wildfire.
âSkulllll!â
Skull and the soldiers that followed him passed through the left side of the battlefield. Agaresâs troops were made up of different types of spirits and they were separated based on that.
Skullâs decision to go left wasnât on impulse. The group before them was made up of Goblins, Imps and Orcs and the soldiers that were with Skull just didnât have the ability to fight them.
A head exploded. Skull used his war hammer to cast a thunder spell and destroyed an Orcâs head. Skull then tightened his grip on his hammer and instead of aiming for the next target, he commanded Nightmare to continue running.
The soldiers that stopped couldnât do their jobs. On top of that, evading large monsters such as the Golems, Ogres and Trolls was a lot better compared to fighting them. Skullâs war hammer helped fight against the enemy as well as clear the path for the soldiers following him.
Even though there were only a dozen soldiers, it was enough. One group that didnât stop fighting fought against a group of enemy spirits that also had about a dozen in the group.
Skull and Nightmare rushed through the group and were now outside of the battlefield. Skullâs hammer was covered in blood and brain and as Skull loosened his grip, he looked out into the distance. An extravagant and flashy fire filled the sky.
âSkullll!â
Skull screamed again. Fire exploded on the right side of the battlefield, as if it was responding to Skullâs scream.
âRoaaaaaaar!â
Fire enveloped both Salami and Yong-Ho as they turned into a javelin. They flew towards the ground where the shock and fire of their attack destroyed Agaresâs troops. Thanks to that, the battlefield became even more chaotic.
Salami didnât stop. The moment Yong-Ho swung Aamon and created a wave of fire, Salami flapped its wings again, and flew while looking straight ahead.
The Golemâs fist targeted Salami. The extremely large Golem was created to block off its enemies and its fist was big enough to destroy both Salami and Yong-Ho with a single swing.
The single punch distorted the air. Salami barely missed the Golemâs fist and flew up while riding the Golemâs arm. Instead of targeting the Golemâs head, Yong-Ho stretched Aamon out towards the other side of the ground and burned the ground by releasing his mana.
Kyahhhhhh!
A grotesque scream filled Yong-Hoâs ears. Half of Agaresâs troops were insect-type monsters and they were weak against fire. Yong-Ho was releasing fire in various different areas and they didnât have the strength to go up against him. They would either fire sharp bullets or acid from a distance.
Salami flew higher. Yong-Ho took a deep breath and looked out into the distance. The Land Worms were still jumping up and down. Agaresâs troops looked like they werenât going to stand by and watch, because a Golem, large insect-type monsters and mages were put into the battlefield, however arrows that were shot from the Free City kept raining down on their heads.
The plan was a huge success. A thousand wasnât a small number, but if they kept doing this for a few more minutes, then that thousand would eventually break apart.
âTheyâre going to fall apart.â
That was what Yong-Ho was expecting. And he started seeing it.
Agaresâs troops were in a chaotic state. While Agares was incorporating the dungeons that belonged to other owners, the spirits that were under his control couldnât really be considered his.
Just a little more.
A little more until theyâre completely defeated!
Boom!
The loud explosion came from the edge of the battlefield. There were many different sounds within the battlefield, but this one was distinct.
Yong-Ho instinctively turned his attention towards the sound. And he witnessed a whirlpool of mana that he had never seen before.
It was a monster.
The monster had six eyes, a huge jaw and a gray scale that was covering its head. There were bumps and horns on its long body and it had six legs, making the monster look like a spider. The monster also had a large tail with sharp thorns on the end.
It had a lot of arms too. Out of those arms, two of them that stretched out towards the sky caught Yong-Hoâs attention. Those two arms were larger than the others and at the end of those arms, there were large blades that were about two meters long.
The monster released a large amount of mana and kicked off the ground. It started to approach the center of the battlefield. The arrows that filled the sky and the Land Worms that were jumping around werenât enough to stop it.
One of the Land Worms saw the monster. And the monster also saw that Land Worm. The monster didnât stop and started swinging the blades that were attached to its arms.
The blades broke the Land Wormâs hard shell. Then, the monster cut off part of the Land Wormâs head. It destroyed the Land Worm and poured acid onto the Land Wormâs destroyed head.
The monster slashed it apart. Despite the fact that the Land Worm was quite big, the monster used its blades to quickly cut the body. The monster ripped it apart and used its teeth attached to its huge jaw to bite into it.
The Land Wormâs blood and scream summed up what was happening. After ripping the Land Worm apart, the monster opened its mouth wide. It released a roar that shook the battleground.
Kyahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Silence came after the roar. Everyone on the battlefield looked at the monster. It seemed like time had stopped.
The monster looked around. Out of the six eyes, two of them looked towards the sky.
There was a purple light. Yong-Ho saw it and had a hunch. And then realized.
That was the demon king, Agares.
The one that came from the east to take over the south!
He roared again. He broke the time that had stopped.
More arms appeared on Agaresâs back. They were wings that were covered in film.
Out of the six eyes, two of them were still looking at Yong-Ho. But the remaining four were looking somewhere else.
The remaining two Land Worms roared and charged towards Agares. But it wasnât the roar of a predator. It was more like a desperation of trying to resist him.
Agares kicked off the ground. The Land Worms were three times bigger than him, but he was able to take them down. After cutting the Land Wormsâ bodies using his blades, he spread out his wings.
The Land Worms werenât dead yet. They still had the ability to fight. But Agares didnât waste his time on killing them. All six of his eyes were on the Free Cityâs walls.
âFire!â
Someone from the top of the wall yelled. That command was their signal to fire, but at the same time, it was also the beginning of fear.
Soldiers on top of the gate were scared. The arrows and cannonballs werenât hitting Agares.
Agares spread out his wings again. After kicking off the ground, he flapped once and soared into the air. He charged towards the walls.
Agares wasnât an ordinary monster. He was a demon king and had already destroyed several dungeons.
He was going to destroy the walls and stop them from attacking him. His troops were about to fall and in order to make time for them, he focused his attention on the Free Cityâs walls.
There was also another reason.
Agares wanted to win. He wanted to put fear into them and after killing the leaders that were commanding them, he was going to destroy the Free Cityâs troops.
His assumption was right. Just charging towards them was enough to instill fear into them. The battlefield was now under his control.
Kyahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
He roared. The predatorâs rage was strangling the necks of the prey. The acid that was pouring out of Agaresâs mouth covered the sky.
Boom!
There was a loud explosion. A part of the wall fell apart when Agares slammed his body against it and the soldiers near it shared the same fate as the spirits that were killed by the Land Worms. The acid that covered the sky landed on the soldiers that were on top of the wall, causing them to experience an agonising death.
Agaresâs eyes were all looking in different directions. A gleeful laugh escaped Agaresâs mouth when he saw soldiers charging towards him.
Oros took out the potion he had made earlier and injected it into his body. The potion made his large body even larger as he charged towards Agares. Even though he kept on swearing, he didnât stop.
Dargon was also casting a spell. He strengthened his body and grabbed his mace. The fighting spirit within him was talking. That monster is stronger than you. Heâs a lot stronger than you are. But heâs not someone you can avoid. The leaders were the only ones that could go up against him and if they didnât do anything, he would kill everyone.
Ophelia made her decision. This wasnât the time to hide her strength. All three of her horns were now showing and she released all the power she had obtained by becoming Yong-Hoâs spirit.
Agares didnât wait for them. He broke the wall and charged. His first target was Oros.
Oros swung his scimitar. But it didnât reach Agares. Agares was about four meters tall and was known to be extremely violent. His two blades attacked Oros and caused him to fly in the air. Oros tightened his grip on his scimitar. One of the blades had cut open at least half of his chest.
Even in that moment, Agaresâs eyes didnât stop moving. All of his eyes were moving in different directions and was watching everything that was happening.
Agares spread his wings when he saw Dargon and Ophelia attacking from behind. He violently bit into Orosâs body. He jumped into the air and spat Oros towards Dargon and Ophelia.
Dargon stopped. Opehlia dodged Oros by kicking off the ground. Agares saw her. He flapped his wings to fly higher and then released acid towards the ground.
His six eyes were moving once again. He saw that his troops were starting to kill the Land Worms and the Free City that was now completely filled with fear. He also saw Dargon casting a healing spell on Oros while Ophelia was glaring at him with hatred. He also noticed the soldiers of the Free City crying out in pain because of his acid.
And his last eye noticed something else.
It was a Dark Elf that had black magic wrapped around her. She was standing on top of the gate with a dagger in her hand and was looking up towards the sky.
Agares had a hunch. He quickly moved his eyes and was trying to find the one that was supposed to be on this battlefield. Despite the fact that he focused all of his attention on the battlefield, he didnât appear.
The Dark Elf moved. Agares noticed something with his senses, not his eyes. He quickly turned around and looked up.
The fiery lance was charging. It was coming straight down from the sky and he could feel a large amount of mana accompany it.
Agares moved his body. While flapping his wing, he swung his blades. He also released some of his acid.
Yong-Ho saw all of it. While Agares was charging towards the walls, instead of chasing after him, he flew up high just for this very moment.
Salami released fire and burned the acid. Yong-Ho didnât wait and threw himself towards Agaresâs blades.
Yong-Ho focused. He saw the flow of mana. It was a very clear indicator.
Agaresâs blades cut the air. Salami and Agares were very close to each other. All six of his eyes were on Yong-Ho and Yong-Ho used Aamon to attack while looking at his eyes. He released the lump of mana that he had condensed!
The green mana attacked Agaresâs back. The heat melted his thick shell.
There was some distance between Salami and Agares. Instead of looking back at Agares, Yong-Ho commanded Salami. Salami charged towards the gate.
âCatalina!â
He yelled. Catalina jumped off the gate. Ophelia followed behind her. The two spirits jumped into the air and got on top of the flying Salami.
Salami rotated in the air. Salamiâs back felt heavier and because it was flying around so much, it also felt tired. However, he endured it. After Agares fell from Yong-Hoâs mana, he charged straight towards him.
Agares saw Salami. He endured the pain and spread his wings. Instead of falling, he flew and instead of running away, he charged towards Yong-Ho and Salami.
He didnât clash into them this time either. Salami and Agares missed each other.
But it was different from before.
The green fire grew bigger. The fire blocked the sight of all six of his eyes.
Yong-Ho didnât charge at him. He focused on Salami and Agaresâs mana. He commanded while dodging the blades.
Catalina and Ophelia leaped. The two spirits jumped in different directions and got on Agaresâs back. They listened to Yong-Hoâs command and became his sword.
Catalina used her dagger that was enveloped in dark mana and Ophelia used her weapon to cut off Agaresâs wings.
Agareâs back was already weak because of Yong-Hoâs fire and his wings werenât strong enough to endure their attacks. His wings eventually broke.
Agares released a painful scream. Catalina and Ophelia jumped off Agaresâs back and threw themselves toward Salami and Yong-Ho.
The fire died down. Salami could no longer fly and headed towards the ground. Yong-Ho looked back while holding Catalina and Ophelia. The wingless Agares smashed himself to the ground while screaming.

But this wasnât the end.
Agares roared as if it was trying to forget about the pain. All six of his eyes were looking at Yong-Ho.
Yong-Ho didnât dodge Agaresâs eyes. He released his mana while showing his four horns.
