Chapter 462 : Battle Against Hero's Party IV
"it seem they will not stop the attack." one of the paladin said, blocking a fireball with his shield. while blocking a large ball of fire with a metal shield is not a good idea, the magic imbued into the shield is effective in blocking the attack, with ease.
"as the hero said, they will continue their attack, and forced us to drop dead from exhaustion." a veteran holy knight replied, though he clearly find the entire situation hateful.
"there is nothing we can do about it." a holy mage replied, "except for letting lady mirna attack the flying archdemon."
only the hero's attacks were guaranteed to kill the a-rank demons. anything else would only injure if not avoided by them. the hero's holy slash were faster, stronger, and could easily shred an archdemon.
however, due to the attack using mana, she could not use it all the time, forcing her to hold back or she would run out of mana, and that would be the end of the expedition force.
"if only we could give her our mana," one of the younger holy mage lamented.
"we need our mana as well. if it just those monsters, i will do it in a heartbeat, but there are more of them, and we need our fighting force in good shape in at least one way." the veteran holy mage did not need to say they could not be in good shape in term of energy, as they would be pushing themselves to get to the danger zone as quickly as possible. read new chapters at empire
"less talking, more moving!" kirana, as the deputy of the hero in the expedition yelled, spurring them to speed up.

"at this rate, they would arrive at lunos forest in 2 days." alros calculated, with his war council agreeing with his assessment. 2 days seem like a long time, until one remembered how large astor kingdom is to regular people, and the distance between the capital and lunos forest is far, and then, it seem the horses of holy nation is super... horses.
that is the only reason why they were able to hold on for more than 10 minutes as the charging hordes was not something they could survive if not for their awareness of it.
even in the embrace of the night, the lack of light did not stop them from seeing the large number of monsters making their way towards them, with clear intent on making sure none survive.
"h-how are there so many of them!?" even the hero was shocked, especially her senses telling her of the number of archdemon flying towards her.
the worse part is, while she could defeat them, maybe even scaring them off, she could only do that, as the number of archdemon is too much for her to kill in quick sucession.
and she could sense half the number heading towards her companion while the rest stopping her, even with their life on the line. that would not be the worse of it if not for more a-rank monsters, along with thousands, maybe ten of thousands b-rank monsters joining in the assault.
and while she could survive it, her companions could not. but, she would be damned if she did not try her best.
"get away from my subordinates!" she yelled as a large arch of light fly to the sky, slashing many number of archdemon, reducing them significantly. unfortunately, significantly only meant tens of them, leaving hundreds more going for her companions.
she was about to continue, when the archdemon swoop in, preventing her from unleashing her powerful attacks. so, she had to use her sword skill to kill them. which she could do, easily even at that, but at the cost of killing them slower than she would have liked.
as she slaughter those who came close to her, she used her detection magic to sense her companion, hoping they could hold on while he dealt with the archdemon targeting her.
unfortunately, her companions are a-rankers, and mostly regular one and not close to reaching s-rank ones. as a result, the third time she used her detection magic, none of them were left, dead because of the monsters.
realizing this, her heart burned with rage as she glow with holy light, an eruption of holy magic occur on the plain close lunos forest, with her at the center of it all, and the source of it.
