485 Chapter 484: Came to help.
“Asmond!” Silas thrust his spear at Asmond from behind and didn’t stop although it was about to hit Asmond’s back.
Asmond dashed to the side and saw the spearhead pass by under his left arm and struck the Demon Lord’s shield and cracked it. He then spun as he swung his giant sword so hard with both hands.
Silas ducked and the sword swung right above his head. He barely dodged it, and then he looked up and saw the Demon Lord’s ice shield get shattered into pieces by Asmond’s sword. Arum and Rufus used the opportunity and ambushed the Demon Lord from behind and decapitated him with their swords.
Silas grabbed his spear before it fell to the ground and then struck the Demon Lord’s chest with everything he got. He struck down the massive body of the Demon Lord. He then kept pressing the spear down because the Demon Lord was still moving his body.
“Move!” Asmond was up high in the air and dove down with his blazing sword ready to strike the Demon Lord.
Silas rolled over and felt a strong and cold shockwave on his back. He turned around and saw the Demon Lord’s body twitching and tried to grab Asmond’s sword. Arum and Rufus cut off his arms and then stabbed their swords at the Demon Lord’s chest.
The Demon Lord’s body became colder and colder and their swords got frozen. They couldn’t grab it and decided to leave them as they made some distance from the Demon Lord. The Demon Lord was wiggling his body, but then his body exploded into tiny pieces and the cold mist floated up high into the sky and then disappeared.
“We did it?” Silas approached Asmond as he stared at blocks or pieces of the Demon Lord’s body.
“I think we did,” Asmond nodded his head as he made sure not a single piece of the Demon Lord’s body moved. He was afraid that the Demon Lord could regenerate his body, but it turned out nothing happened. “It’s over, but we can’t rest because we still have three more Demon Lords that we need to defeat,” Asmond grabbed his sword that got thrown away from the explosion.
They all nodded with understanding and immediately hopped onto the humvee. They all went to District 3 with all the soldiers and their heavy artillery.
(At District 3)
“That’s it! Keep the light pointing at him!” Roxanne looked at the shadow that went back to the Demon Lord’s body. “With this, we can fight him without worries. Charge!” Roxanne pointed her sword and then ran toward him without a single fear.
Roxanne was the first one to get close to the Demon Lord and she swung her sword as hard as she could. Her sword was stopped by the Demon Lord’s right hand but then realized how sharp and strong her sword was. The skeleton hand of the Demon Lord was shattered, but the Demon Lord was chuckling which made Roxanne a bit nervous.
As soon as the hand was shattered, a thin black mist lingered around her sword. The mist chipped the blade, and Roxanne who saw it immediately retracted her sword and crushed his forearm.
“Everyone! Be careful of the black mist!” Roxanne shouted as she jumped back and looked at the chipped sword.
They all stopped advancing, but a group of Awakeners kept running and went past Roxanne. Those were the Awakeners that belonged to the Demonic Cult, and they didn’t hesitate to crush the bones of the Demon lord. After there was nothing left on their weapon, they threw their weapons and backed away.
Glen observed the Demon Lord and realized the black mist was slowly regaining his bones.
“We can’t let him regenerate! We should destroy his whole body or we will run out of weapons before we could kill him!” Glen advanced with some of the Awakeners.
Roxanne looked at her chipped sword and didn’t have any other options. She ordered everyone to attack, but that was when she made a huge mistake.
The more people around the Demon Lord, the more shadows existed around him. The Demon Lord used that opportunity and swallowed some of the Awakeners into a shadow realm. Glen and Roxanne immediately ordered everyone to fall back.
“I’m so fucking stupid,” Roxanne gritted her teeth and was annoyed by her own stupidity.
“It happens, but now we know we can’t rush things up. We are at an advantage because the helicopters are preventing the Demon Lord from using his power. We should think of a way to destroy him in a single attack. We at least have time to think about that,” Glen grabbed Roxanne’s shoulder and comforted her.
“Can you keep an eye on him until Asmond and the others come? I want to see the situation in District 4 and how far the Demon Lord has moved,” Roxanne looked at Glen.
“Yeah, no problem. I’ll think of a way to defeat this guy,” Glen nodded with understanding.
Roxanne went back to the military base and asked the General to lend her a helicopter so she could observe the Demon Lord in District 4. The General didn’t hesitate and accepted her suggestion, so she flew to check on the Demon Lord with her own two eyes.
“Miss! Over there! One o’clock!” The pilot pointed to the ground.
Roxanne slid the door open and looked down at where the pilot was pointing at. She was baffled when she saw how big the Demon Lord was. The Demon Lord looked a bit disgusting because the bottom half of her body was that of a larva, and the top half was humanoid with a crown on her head.
“That thing can give birth?!” Roxanne looked at the soldier that was sitting in front of her.
“Yes! She can give birth to the flies from the previous breakout. She might be the queen, and the more she devours her surroundings, the more babies she produced!” The soldier nodded his head and looked Roxanne in the eye. “The fighter jets have been dealing with it, but she reproduces too fast that we can’t keep up with her!” The soldier continued.
Roxanne clenched her fists as she kept staring at the Demon Lord, but then she realized there was a person running toward the Demon Lord. She squinted her eyes to see a bit clearer, but it was impossible, so she asked the soldier to lend her a binocular.
“Enma?!” Roxanne was dumbfounded when she saw Enma running toward the Demon Lord on her own with only a shield and a sword in her hands. “Get me down! Now!” Roxanne looked at the pilot.
The pilot lowered the altitude and when Roxanne thought it was safe for her to jump down, she jumped without giving a single warning. The soldiers watched her free fall and landed safely on the road.
“Enma! What are you doing here on your own?!” Roxanne looked at Enma with a confused look.
Enma looked at the helicopter above Roxanne and then looked at her. “I’m going to stop that Demon Lord because I heard that both District Four and District Five have been occupied by Demon Lord,” Enma answered.
“On your own?” Roxanne raised her eyebrows in disbelief.

“She’s not alone! The flies are with her and you’re going to die before even you can attract her attention!” Roxanne shouted and she showed a worried expression.
“I’ll be fine. I have equipped a lot of Artifacts that I borrowed from the treasury room,” Enma showed the necklace, the rings on all her fingers, earrings, and bracelets on both wrists. “With this, I can do everything on my own, and I have skills that can save me from dying,” Enma continued.
“Hah…” Roxanne shook her head and sighed. “Do you have a spare weapon I can use?” Roxanne looked at Enma and her waist was covered by her shield so Roxanne couldn’t see it.
“I do, but why?” Enma raised her eyebrows.
“What do you mean why? I’m going with you. This is a perfect opportunity to learn about our enemies before Asmond and the others came. So I’ll protect you and we also have air support,” Roxanne approached Enma and reached her hand at Enma.
Enma smiled and nodded with understanding. She then gave a sword to Roxanne.
“Let’s do this,” Enma said.
“Yeah, let’s do this,” Roxanne nodded and walked with Enma.
