The moment the Nascent Soul and Soul Transformation Realm Zasfins had arrived, the Stage Five and Six Demon Beasts did so as well. At that instant, a huge battle started in the sky between those forces to the point it affected the troops below. Of course, it wasn't too much of a problem. Unlike the Stage Nine and Transition Realm experts and demon beasts, the damage beings in that realm could cause against those giant armies was too small to be considered anything.
The Earth Affinity Zasfins raised as many defenses as possible. However, Roan wasn't an idiot. Knowing that the Zasfin commander would notice his plan, he made sure that the first wave would be filled with strength-type demon beasts. Several types of Demon Bulls, Bisons, Oxes, Armadillos, and so on slammed against those quickly raised defenses, piercing through them as if they were made of paper.
The Zasfins behind those defenses were then stomped to death, with very being able to retreat from the carnage. However, only those at the Core and Soul Fusion Realm could really be said to have escaped the calamity. As for the rest, there was a huge army of Zasfins behind, preventing them from running further from the first wave.
*Bang!*
Eventually, the first wave broke through the defenses raised by the Zasfins and launched itself against the Zasfins. Without much choice, the Zasfins in front started using all their skills, trying to kill the wave before it reached them.
However, as soon as that happened, the first wave of demon beasts was divided into two groups. They still couldn't keep any resemblance of a battle formation, but if it was just sending them in two directions, the humans controlling them could do that much.
"What's happening?" The Zasfins at the center were taken aback. They were obviously happy that the stampede didn't head in their direction. Unfortunately for them, that relief only lasted a few minutes when something else caught their eyes.
In the end, the first wave divided so that it could move around the army, making it harder for it to spread. Right behind the gap left in the middle by the first wave, the second wave had appeared. This wave consisted of a mix of speed and strength-type demon beasts that rushed straight in the middle of the Zasfin Army.
*Ahhhh!*
Screams came from everywhere as this wave rushed through the middle of the Zasfin Army. It was an unstoppable force that killed many times more than it sacrificed. The Zasfins that couldn't fly began to use their Spiritual Energies to jump, trying to pass over the head of others. Everyone wanted to move out of the way of the demon beasts, which only increased the chaos.
The Zasfin Commander could not help but grit his teeth in anger after seeing this, cursing aloud, "What are they doing?! Tell them to keep the formation! If they keep trying to run away like that, it will only increase the casualties!"
Well, that was easy to say when it wasn't him watching so many demon beasts rushing at his face. The Zasfins at the frontlines had already lost their will to protect their position. In the end, nothing was more important to them than their own lives.
The second wave began to lose its force at some point since there were way too many Zasfins. However, it wasn't a problem. Once the humans in charge of those demon beasts noticed that they reached their limit, the second wave divided in two directions again, giving space for the intact third wave to start its massacre.
At the same time, the second wave tried to join the first wave that was running on the outside by using its momentum. Well, that was just a bunch of demon beasts attacking everything ahead of them, though. Nevertheless, it was very effective since the second wave helped the first wave restrain the Zasfin Army together.
Seeing that spreading to the sides wasn't possible, the Zasfin Army began to retreat behind. Unfortunately, there were still troops there waiting for their time to move out. The scale of the war was too big, which meant that the ones behind couldn't even see what was happening in front of them.
Once the third wave began to get tired, the fourth wave arrived.
Just like that, the combo continued. The fifth wave, the sixth, seventh, eighth...
By the time the ninth wave took center stage, it had pierced through the Zasfin Army, arriving at the other side of their wing. Roan, who was watching everything with his Spiritual Sense, nodded in satisfaction as he could not help but say, "It went better than I thought. The tenth wave is still intact, but the demon beasts have already passed through the Zasfins' defenses."
Rean agreed with him, saying in response, "That's because the Zasfins didn't try to properly hold their position. Unlike Stage Four Demon Beasts and below, all the Zasfins are intelligent beings. They care a lot about their own lives and are very arrogant, thinking that they're the owners of this world. They definitely don't want to lose their lives here."
"Stage Four Demon Beasts, on the other hand, don't have sentience yet. As long as the higher-level demon beasts of each race give the order, they will march forward until they can't move anymore. Only those demon beasts would be able to stop them now. In the end, the arrogance instilled in their race after reigning over the planet for a long time backfired on them."
Roan then looked behind and passed new orders, saying, "Have the humans on the tenth wave spread and help the other demon beasts. We need to take advantage of today's chaos as much as possible. The Zasfins won't commit the same mistake for such a plan to work twice."
"Understood."
Rean then patted the demon beast he was healing. "I'm done here. However, don't head back to Phex's battle today. Give it a day so that they won't be too suspicious."
Roan then looked at the battlefield where Phex and Fikin's groups were fighting. 'Can you see what's happening here, Fikin? Hehe! I wonder if you're even able to focus on your fight.'
