Chapter 672: Chapter 672 - Alloces’ Wrath
Reinforcements have arrived!
Hope surged across the battlefield.
Each of the four gates had now received powerful new additions to their forces, turning the tides of despair into a glimmer of optimism. With these reinforcements, the battles at the gates were poised to shift dramatically.
On the ground and through the live broadcasts, the tension was so high. Those on the battlefield fought with renewed vigor, while spectators clung to the edges of their seats, eager to witness the pivotal moments that could finally break the stalemate.
Would this be the turning point everyone had been waiting for?
Western Gate.
Ivana unleashed devastating damage, amplifying the momentum created by Optimus and the others at the Western Gate.
Time and again, she hurled her shield toward King Balam, striking the demon's face with bone-crushing force. Each time, she followed through by teleporting to her shield, delivering colossal blows that sent shockwaves rippling across the battlefield.
DOOM! The impact shook the ground, scattering debris and forcing the nearby demons to reel from the sheer force.
With Ivana's shield plays providing cover, Optimus felt a newfound freedom in his movements. He zigzagged rapidly, avoiding the massive swings of King Balam's greatsword. Exploiting every opening, he dashed in with remarkable speed, delivering punishing strikes to the demon's legs. These precise attacks destabilized the hulking demon, pushing him back step by step.
King Balam retaliated with a blast of fire, targeting Ivana as she soared through the air. But with practiced ease, she threw her shield high into the sky, vanishing in an instant and reappearing above it. From above, she dived with blistering speed, her shield leading the charge.
D-D-DOOM!!!
The impact was devastating, the shockwave spreading outward in all directions.
The relentless combination of Optimus's precision and Ivana's force was beginning to tilt the scales, giving the defenders a crucial edge.
"Tora, tell me something..." Max asked, her tone brimming with enthusiasm. "Isn't Ivana a shielder? I mean, I've never seen a shield user deal this much damage before. Her main weapon is a shield, right?"
Tora gave an awkward grin. "Oh, Max, I think you're forgetting about all those famous fictional characters who use shields as their main offensive weapon. Ivana just happens to be one of them in this world."
On another front, Livelywood now had the support of two skilled mages: Starfall, with her versatility in crowd control, buffs, and healing, and Elincia, who hovered nearby, raining down massive magic damage on Duke Alloces from above.
With a bright grin, Livelywood darted across the battlefield, moving at incredible speed. He relentlessly pressured the demon, especially when Alloces tried to launch aerial strikes
against Elincia.
Rumbling lightning strikes repeatedly crashed down onto the battlefield, each impact illuminating the skirmish with bursts of electric fury. The clashes between Duke Alloces and Livelywood painted a chaotic dance of fire and steel.
The demon moved with inhuman agility, flipping and dashing through the fray. He wielded his twin swords with precision, evading every magic strike with ease.
"Ho ho ho! Interesting!" Alloces taunted. "Do you think that cute little magic damage is enough to scratch my skin? No!"
Livelywood zipped forward, appearing directly in front of the demon with startling speed. Their blades clashed in a dazzling flurry. Suddenly, Alloces spewed a jet of fire, forcing Livelywood to somersault backward to avoid being engulfed.
"Mr. Demon!" Livelywood called out cheerfully. "Don't forget, if you're late blocking my attack, I'll be the first to scratch your skin! That'll be a big achievement for me!"
Alloces snarled, clearly unimpressed, as the battlefield raged around them.
However, as the battle wore on, Duke Alloces' movements grew faster, more unpredictable, and increasingly difficult for Livelywood to counter effectively. Despite his best efforts, Alloces evaded every strike.
From another angle, a barrage of massive boulders, chunks of ice, and a surge of waves assaulted the demon, briefly disrupting his rhythm. But with a sharp flap of his left wing, Duke Alloces redirected his focus, launching himself toward Elincia.
Elincia quickly conjured a massive shield, its surface crackling with defensive magic. The demon's attack struck with devastating force, shattering through her defenses and sending
her plummeting toward the ground.
"Elincia!" Starfall screamed, sprinting to intercept her falling ally, but she wasn't fast enough. Elincia crashed into the earth with a resounding thud.
Livelywood dashed, trying to reach her first, but Alloces was faster. He descended with precision, landing in front of Elincia as she struggled to recover.
Duke Alloces brought his swords close to her neck. "Ho ho ho... your friend meets her end
now!"
