Chapter 310 War is here(6)

[Lily, you take care of the tier 5 monster, the Gorgon.] Colin said and she looked at him with a worried expression

[Are you sure, that woman might not seem all that strong...but I get a bad feeling when I look at her. She's definitely got something up her sleeves.] She said and Colin gritted his teeth as he hoped his instinct was just his overimagination.

[I feel it as well. There is a power inside her, a strange abominable power.] Skorn said while gripping his new glaive. Colin looked around the battlefield and he could see his family members as well as the remnants of Askalad' s army, including one of the Demon Nobles, neither side fighting as a new threat made itself known.

'....We might be able to win this, but I'm gonna need everyone's help.' Colin thought looking at the members of Askalad's ear band.

"Your leader, Askalad of Pride, has been slain by my family. Your shackles have been broken and you are once again free demons, but there are only two paths ahead of you. The first, you could try and run, but both my family and those monsters over there will kill you before you get too far. The second, you can join my family and we can defeat these monsters together and maybe, just maybe you might live. Make your choice quickly." Colin said, ending his 'speech and he could see all of them contemplating what he said. He looked over at War and the Lamias behind her, hissing and snarling at us, but they didn't attack. War was looking at them with a crazy smile, unnerving Colin.

"My Lord, my name is Bella and I will gladly fight alongside you." The surviving Demon Noble said, as she flapped her wings gently, floating infront of him. Skorn looked at her with a furious look, but Colin had no time for drama, so he nodded his head, accepting her into the family.

"I'll also join your family." An orc said, and all, one by one, all of them joined his family and Colin sighed as their chances of survival just increased.

[Colin, I'll lead the fight against the monsters.] Alice said and Colin could see her standing at the front of the crowd, and unlike everyone else, not a drop of blood was on her body.

[Alice, I don't-] Colin tried to convince her not to, but she cut him off.

[If I don't do this then we might die. I don't think most of these guys have any intention of actually fighting and I'm the only one available with enough authority to control them. You and Skorn will be too busy with that weird orc lady. Let me do this...or we might not see tomorrow.] Alice said and Colin gritted his teeth. He knew that these guys were an unloyal bunch and most likely run away at the first chance they got and with the fact that only knights, demon kings and their spouses can kill a member of their family, there isn't much they could do. Colin could try and order them, but the more experienced demon will find some kind of loophole and escape as well. They would need to micro manage the army, but only he, Skorn and Alice can do that properly....only one of them was available to do so.

[....Try not to die.] Colin said

[I will.I love you.] Alice said and turned towards the army saying a few words.

"It seems that you are done assembling your army, good. Charge!!!" She shouted and the monsters rushed towards them, Lily went to fight the Gorgon and Alice charged forward along with the army of tier 4s. War charged at them with her scythe and the three tier 5s separated from each other, with Colin bracing himself to take her on.

"Accelerate." War said and one of the runes on her skin glowed golden and she disappeared, leaving after images behind as she appeared infront of Colin and slashed her scythe. Colin barely managed to block with his gauntlets and was sent flying into the ground. Bartus sent spears of gold, coated in curse affinity towards War and she turned towards him with a grin.

"Ether Blaze." She said and swung her scythe in his direction and the sky lit up with a pale yellow flame with spots of red mixed in. The heat was intense and the wave of flames was sent flying towards Bartus m, and he quickly created layers of golden shields to protect himself. The fires were held at bay, but the shields were split open as War jumped through. Bartus looked at her horrified, unable to dodge as she swung her scythe towards him aiming to split him down the middle, when, out of the corner of her eye, she saw a spear rushing towards her head. Clicking her tongue, she changed the trajectory of the scythe to block the spear, but didn't forget to deliver a powerful kick to Bartus stomach, making him cough up blood as he was sent crashing into the ground. Colin got to his feet, and flew towards her and War happily welcomed the attack, but out of the corner of her eye, noticed Skorn descending towards her from above.

"A longer attack huh, too bad, I have perfect counter." War said as her body was enveloped in a white light and she disappeared.

'Fuck, since when can demonic creatures use [Light Affinity].' Colin thought as another flash of light eminated from the ground, and War reappeared. Colin grabbed Skorn's hand, before throwing him directly at her.
