âWhatâs the matter? Whatâs happening?â he asked while frowning deeply.
The commander came over. âLook, commander.â
He passed the telescope to Darnic.
Darnic took one look and immediately felt his brain go numb. Whatever he saw was simply too
terrifying.
After a few seconds, he bellowed, âGo fight! What is the artillery waiting for? Go attack those fire
airships now!â
âYes!â
Boom! boom!
Shots were fired.
The soldiers who were in charge of the cannons didnât need any powers. Many of them were extras
sent by the officials. This meant that America was giving this war their all. They even brought out the
nuclear weapons in this outpost.
However, in the next moment, a shocking thing happened.
On the airships were powerful demons that could turn into human form. They held weapons and
magical treasures and flew in the air, stopping the cannons. They successfully stopped all the shots
fired at them.
Any larger demons ranked level-six or above had strength and speed that bettered most advanced
weapons. They also had a crazy defense, even if they were hit, they wouldnât be killed. That was why
the Flying Eagles were needed.
As Darnic looked through the telescope, he saw the airships getting fired upon.
âGood shot! Fire again!â
Just then, he saw something unbelievable⦠The airship that had been shot burst into flames midair.
However, the sea of flames didnât fall to the ground, instead turning into a flaming tornado that came
straight for their outpost.
âHoly shit, whatâs that?â
âThatâs not fire. Those are⦠Bugs. Demon bugs on fire!â
These demon bugs swarmed tightly in massive numbers, covering the skies. They rushed over like
locusts overrunning the prairie.
âKill them! Kill all these demon bugs!â
âProtect the commander!â
Some of the Flying Eagles, despite their low ranks, rushed into the air, hoping to kill these flying flaming
demon bugs.
âDragon King Roar!â
Roar!!!
The Spirit Severing soldier sent out an enthusiastic sound attack. It covered the flaming demon bugs
rushing over, intending to kill them in one hit. However, he immediately regretted it the next second. He
had successfully killed many flaming demon bugs, but they were literally everywhere. His attack did
spread out in a large area, but it couldnât kill all of them. The surviving one-tenth began to attack him
ferociously.
âArgh!!!â
The soldier screamed again, but it was too late. Hundreds of flaming demon bugs attacked his body.
Whoosh!
They crawled under his skin swiftly. In the next moment, the soldier let out a cry of pain.
âAhhh!!!â
His body was burning from the inside out.
Orange dancing flames could be seen exiting his eyes, mouth, and ears. It was hard to imagine the
pain he was in. It must have felt like an inferno.
The soldierâs cries stopped abruptly within mere seconds. He had already burned to ashes midair.
Those still in the outpost were totally shocked⦠The soldier who just burned to his death had Spirit
Severing powers. Yet, he couldnât win against the demon bugs. Those with lower powers wouldnât
stand a chance.
An officialâs son, who had bribed his way into the squad, was terrified.
He yelled in horror, âThe situation has become critical. Protect the commander first! Everyone, guard
the city wall to the death. Weâll guard the commander until he leaves the ancient boundary safely
before coming back to help.â
Just as he finished speaking, aloud noise came from the city gates.
The city gates had been broken down.
At the same time, countless fire airships in the sky exploded, and swarms of flaming demon bugs
charged straight for the outpost in waves.
