The Demon Army

--- Glimmertree City, Balor's Castle ---

"My king, the demons have set up camp at the sacred sanctuary! They captured one of our scouts and sent us a message." A knight said his report as he knelt down in front of King Balor.

"What message?" King Balor asked as he balled his hands into fists.

"We killed your precious tree. We are coming for you next. Why don't you just flee and give the city to us?" The knight said as he read a red-colored paper.

"Those a**holes!!! AAAAHHH!!!" King Balor shouted. Then suddenly, Jay walked in the throne room and knelt down in front of him.

"King Balor. Can you please let me use the teleportation gate in the city? I believe only you can activate it." Jay said since he wanted to get back to the Golden Phoenix guild hall immediately before he deals with the demon army approaching Glimmertree City.

"Here. Take it. I have no use for it anymore." King Balor just threw a golden bead in front of Jay, not even caring about anything else besides killing those demons.

After taking the golden bead, Jay left the castle and went to the central part of the city.

"This must be it." Jay said softly as he looked at the tree with rainbow-colored leaves.

"Teleport me to the eastern border of Wildergreene, near the Nix River." Jay said as he touched the tree and dropped the golden bead in front of it. After a few seconds, a portal appeared in front of him.

"I hope it is still a 2-way portal." Jay thought as he entered the portal.

...

--- Golden Phoenix Guild Hall, Hub Center

"Hey, any idea what our guild master is thinking?"

"It could have been a nice day for fishing. I wonder what's up?"

"Just why the hell did our guild master gathered all of us here?"

Currently, all of the 80 guild members of Golden Phoenix were gathered at the Hub Center. As for the people working for the guild, they were currently staying in the courtyard or the sleeping quarters at the basement floor.

Then suddenly, someone entered the Hub Center and jumped above the bar counter.

"Hey, watch it!" A guy who had a skinny physique and wore an assassin's attire said as he looked at the guy who jumped up the bar counter.

...

The moment Jay got teleported outside of the guild hall, Jay immediately activated Heda's monster essence and grabbed the Free Movement Ring she had on her. After that, he turned her back into monster essence and teleported himself on the VIP sleeping quarters.

After arriving there, Jay immediately let the people inside of the storage orb out. He placed Boras and Bloody Harvest on separate beds, he activated Heda's monster essence and let her rest somewhere, Annie just sat down somewhere, and Abby lied down on a random bed.

"Just stay here for now. And if possible, try to contact the rest of our core members who are not here yet." Jay told them before teleporting himself to the hub center.

...

"Everyone, thank you for listening to this unreasonable command of mine. But first, let me introduce myself to all of you officially." Jay said while he stood on top of the bar counter.

"My name is Jay Castle. I am the guild master of the Golden Phoenix. Nice to meet you all."

When everyone heard this, they were all shocked.

"No way! Our guild master is a kid!??"

"I thought Mr. Roast was our guild master?"

"For real?! Is this real?"

Everyone had their own thoughts about the matter at hand, but Jay shushed them all since he did not have a lot of time.

"I know all of you have questions, but now is not the time for that. The reason why I gathered everyone here is because of the demons running around."

When everyone heard this, some laughed it off since they thought they can just do what they usually do, kill the demons together with some monsters.

"Idiots! Bloody Harvest, Boras, Abby, Annie, and Heda almost got killed by facing one of these demons! You think you all stand a chance when 5 of our core members got seriously injured?!" Jay shouted furiously as he stomped his left foot to silence everyone.

"The moment you guys became part of this guild, core member or not, I treat you as my family. Even those working for our guild, I treat them as my family. I do not want you guys to die for nothing. I do not want unnecessary deaths happening! I still have to deal with these demons back at Glimmertree City, so until then, stay here in the guild hall and protect it if something happens. Protect each other and the people working for us."

After Jay said all of this, he immediately teleported himself out of the guild hall and went back to the portal leading to Glimmertree City.

...

Just at the same time Jay left, the core members who did not encounter the demons arrived at the guild hall.

"Just what the hell happened?" Roasted Boar asked himself as he entered the courtyard, which was really crowded due to the hundreds of people.

"Bloody Harvest..." Roselia kept on wondering what happened to Bloody Harvest since she did not even had a chance to help him.

"Damn it! I'm so useless!" Hot Buns shouted in rage as he quickly rushed towards the sleeping quarters.

"Hey, do you know anything why Jay told us to gather here?" Abyssal Angel asked a random guild member the moment she entered the hub center.

"I'm gonna keep watch just in case someone looks for trouble." Yale said as he took out his bow and went somewhere else outside the guild.

...

--- Glimmertree City

The moment Jay came back, hundreds of knights were already evacuating the citizens, preparing for the worst.

"Citizen, hurry up and leave the city." A knight approached Jay and thought Jay was just one of the citizens who was confused with the evacuation order.

But Jay just smiled at him and suddenly vanished. Of course, Jay just used Shadow Phase Rush as he left the city, in order to look for the demon army.

...

--- A few kilometers away from Glimmertree City...

"Commander! Let's just charge in! I want to hear those pathetic screams from the humans!" One of the brown-skinned demons with black tentacle-like hair shouted. In front of him was the gray-skinned demon riding the gigantic black python, Riku.

"Don't worry brothers. We are almost there." The gray skinned demon laughed as he looked at the 100-men army behind him.

...

"Jay! What are you doing?!!" Hellson and the Chicken Lord shouted in unison the moment they learned what Jay was planning to do with the demon army.

"I will kill them by myself. I still have three trump cards up my sleeves. If it does not work, then I will flee back into the city and ask for their help." Jay smiled as he said this and transformed into the partial transformation of the chicken form. He now looks exactly like the Chicken Lord.

After doing so, he took out two swords and held it on both of his hands. Night Sky on his left, and a silver longsword on his right.

"JAY DON'T!!!" Hellson and the Chicken Lord shouted in hopes to stop Jay from doing his crazy idea, but they were just too late.

...

~Hiss...

"Huh?" The gray-skinned demon suddenly felt that something passed by him. He then looked below him and saw that one of his brown-skinned brothers got his head chopped off.

"We're under attack! Kill that bastard!" The gray-skinned demon shouted. The moment he did, the brown-skinned demons moved away from each other since most of the spells they use affected a wide area. As for the gray-skinned demon, he commanded Riku to slither around the place while as he locked onto Jay, who was currently using Shadow Phase Rush to move around.

...

'Frozen Armor!'

'Tree of Life!'

'Call of the Forest!'

The moment Jay managed to successfully launch his surprise attack and managed to kill one of the demons, he immediately used these three spells. He used Frozen Armor just in case one of the demons got lucky and hit him.

As for Tree Of Life, before going into battle, he already charged up the 3 minutes needed to cast the spell. As for 'Call of The Forest,' the spell he got from looting Fisnar's Great Forest, it was a tier 7 summoning spell that was of the nature element.

Combined with the passive skill Tree of Life grants, Nature's Soul, Call of the Forest got instantly casted five more times, summoning around 60 beasts.

~ROOAAARRR!!!

~SKRAAAA!!!

~AWOOOOO!!!

There were around 30 beasts that had a wolf-like physique. Some had gray fur, some had red, some had large fangs, etc. But the one leading these group of wolves was a gigantic wolf with white fur and had purple streaks of light around its body.

There were 10 beasts that had a bird-like appearance that flew high above the skies. Each of them also had random features and of course, a certain beast led them. This bird-like beast that led this group was a Stormrazor Eagle, a gigantic eagle with dark-purple feathers that were as tough as diamonds. And wherever it goes, streaks of blue lightning appears.

As for the remaining 20 beasts, most of them were beasts with a bear-like body or a bull-like body. The one leading this group was a minotaur wielding a large greatsword.

"What the... where the hell did these beast army come from?!!" The gray skinned demon was shocked when he saw the beast army Jay summoned.

"It does not matter. Kill them all!!!"

...

"Piss off you dog!" A brown skinned demon shouted as he kicked a Gray Wolf away. Just as he was about to fire some spells towards the other wolf-type creatures attacking them...

"Over here dumbass!!!" Jay suddenly appeared at his back and slashed him. Due to the great strength Jay put behind that slash and the demon not paying attention, the demon's body got sliced off into three parts, with its guts splattering around.

"Next!!!"

Jay kept repeating the process of sneakily killing off the brown-skinned demons the moment they got distracted attacking the beast army he summoned. He probably killed around 9 of them before the demons noticed Jay's presence and they formed small groups of 5.

"I will deal with that bastard! You guys kill those beasts!" A brown-skinned demon shouted and used a wide-range fire spell, a gigantic fireball.

"You think this will stop me!??" Jay's voice suddenly resounded in their ears.

Jay appeared in front of them but for some reason, dashed away from them.

'Tornado Blade!'

A normal-sized tornado appeared in front of the demons and were following the path Jay dashed to, which is where the demons are.

"Pathetic!" One of the brown-skinned demons in the group of five shouted and made the tornado dissipate just by clapping his hands in front of him.

Then suddenly, Jay appeared in front of him.

'Touch of Blizzard!'

Jay directly used this spell on the brown-skinned demon's head.

"Ahhhh!!! My eyes!!!"

Jay was about to finish this guy off, but the gray-skinned demon suddenly locked onto him.

"RIKU!" The gray-skinned demon shouted as he transformed into a volley of black flame, heading towards Jay at a very great speed. As for Riku, the gigantic black python, it suddenly released a poison gas from its mouth.

"Sh*t!"

Jay cursed but did not move away since Frozen Armor and Tree of Life was still active and he was still invulnerable.

The volley of black flame reached him and tried to burn him into ash. Sadly, it did not work. Even the poisonous gas that reached Jay did not affect him whatsoever.

After that, the Frozen Armor around Jay suddenly exploded into tinier shards of ice that got propelled around him.

'Chicken Mimicry!'

Jay quickly used this transformation to slip away the group of demons and used Shadow Phase Rush.

...

"JAY! JUST STOP! WHAT THE F*CK IS WRONG WITH YOU?!!" Hellson and the Chicken Lord shouted furiously at Jay again the moment he slipped away from the group of demons.

"One of my trump cards are down. Let's do the next one." Jay said to himself, ignoring the two people in his soul shouting at him.

...

'Chicken Form, Complete Transformation'

'Chicken Storm'

'Chicken Fury'

'Chicken Commander'

Jay quickly used these skills. As for Chicken Storm, he tried an experiment and used it inside his storage orb. It worked perfectly. And when he used Chicken Fury, his stats still increased.

"Yes! It worked!!!"

Jay shouted excitedly and kept using Chicken Storm inside the storage orb. Three seconds later after doing that, there were around 500 chickens running around the storage orb. As for the increase in his stats due to Chicken Fury, it felt as if he can now directly fight with the brown-skinned demons as long as they do not group up.

...

~Awooo...

~Roaarr...

The beast army Jay summoned managed to only kill 3 of the brown-skinned demons. The only ones remaining in this beast army was the white wolf and the minotaur.

"Damn. Change of plans." Jay said to himself as he used Shadow Phase Rush and targeted the shadow of these two monsters that were about to die.

'Monster Essence'

Jay quickly turned these two monsters into monster essence since they were just too rare and it would be a waste if he just used them as cannon fodder.

"Too bad for the Stormrazor Eagle. But screw it..." Jay said to himself before hiding somewhere while he kept on filling the storage orb with chickens.

The reason why he hid himself first was because the demons are now on full alert and it will be hard to kill them this way.
