Chapter 187 Fighting Demons (2)
The demon commander wasn’t a fool.
Just based on the momentum of the battle, he could tell that they were slowly being pushed back by the humans and elves.
At the same time, there were other humans and elves who were attacking them from the side, slowly whittling their forces away.
If they continued like this, it would be a matter of time before they were choked out and taken down.
So he had to find a way out of this blockade. 𝐧𝑜𝒱𝑬𝐋𝚗𝑒xt.𝒸𝑂𝕞
In the mind of the demon commander, there were two ways to break free of this blockade.
One was to concentrate his forces and hit one of the weak spots of the blockade. Once they broke through, they would be able to run away and then regroup before deciding on what to do.
But this idea was immediately ignored by the demon commander.
After all, no matter how one put it, this was retreating and it would hurt his pride if he did anything like that.
So the demon commander wouldn’t even want to think about this.
That left him with his other choice.
Defeating the enemy leaders and destroying their morale.
Once the enemy’s morale was shattered, it was only a matter of time before they were pushed back by the demons. After all, demons were much more powerful than elves and humans by nature, it was just that they were on the losing end now because they had been ambushed like this.
Once they gathered themselves, there was no chance that they would lose.
But the enemy also knew this which was why they were trying to cut their numbers down as quickly as possible by sending their leaders, their strongest fighters to the frontline.
Since that was the case, the demon commander had made his choice.
When the demon commander came forward, the demons that were in front of him cleared the way for him.
When the demon commander came forward, the humans and elves felt the pressure that he brought on them.
This demon commander was definitely powerful enough to turn the tides in their favour.
Seeing this, Cecilia and Moon immediately came to a decision.
Cecilia looked back at Moon and Moon gave a nod before nocking three arrows into her bow.
She didn’t shoot them right at the demon commander, but rather raised her bow up towards the sky. She aimed them right up into the sky before letting the bowstring go, sending those arrows off.
The demon commander had looked up to follow the arrows, but then he immediately looked down.
“Clang!”
There was the sound of swords clashing that rang out.
Cecilia had charged forward the moment that Moon had released those arrows, clearing the gap between her and the demon commander in an instant. With all of the demons being distracted by the demon commander suddenly coming out, she was able to run past them without any problems.
As she ran this distance, her sword had undergone a full swing at the demon commander.
But the demon commander had easily blocked this swing with his sword.
He looked down at Cecilia and raised his other hand as if he was about to do something, but then he suddenly stopped.
In an instant, the demon commander jumped back without any hesitation.
As the demon commander jumped back, there was an arrow that landed where he had been standing before.
Cecilia didn’t give the demon commander any room to catch his breath as she quickly chased after him after he jumped backwards.
This time, she lifted her sword above her head and brought it down in a large swing at the demon commander.
Since the demon commander had been focused on escaping the arrow, he wasn’t able to react to this large swing quickly.
He could only bring his sword up in a haste to block it, but that caused him to not use as much strength as he would have liked.
In the end, the demon commander was still able to block this downwards strike.
However, there was a different problem.
The reason why Cecilia had chosen a downwards strike this second time was to lock the demon commander in place.
With the pressure coming from above, the demon commander felt it was hard to move.
To break free, he would have to gather his strength to push her back.
He couldn’t help being surprised by the fact that this kind of power was contained in this skinny frame, but there was no time for him to be surprised.
That was because he could feel a sense of danger from above.
It was another arrow that was falling down.
But with Cecilia locking him in place like this, it wasn’t as if the demon commander could dodge out of the way.
It seemed like the demon commander was in a very bad situation.
However, the demon commander suddenly brought up his other hand that had a ball of black energy inside of it.
This ball of black energy quickly gathered before releasing a bright glow that blinded Cecilia. However, Cecilia’s sharp senses told her exactly where this ball of dark energy was coming from, so she quickly released the hold that she had on the demon commander.
She pulled her sword back and then jumped back, dodging out of the way.
After being released from Cecilia’s hold, the demon commander also jumped back out of the way.
If he had been a second later, then he might have been skewered by the arrow that fell.
There was an arrow that landed right where he had been standing before.
But once again, it wasn’t over yet.
There was one more arrow that had been shot.
This time, it was the arrow that fell first before Cecilia charged out at the demon commander.
The demon commander raised his sword to slash out at the arrow, deflecting it away before continuing that swing to meet Cecilia who was charging at him.
Since he had already started the swing, there was more power in this swing than his previous swings.
This one sent Cecilia flying back with the power that it contained, sending her in the center of the demons.
When she landed, Cecilia found herself surrounded by demons.
