Ruby sensed an incredibly powerful presence approaching the barrier, only to stop and stay put, most likely fighting someone else.
"What is this presence?! It is much stronger than any of the other Demons…!"
She expanded her senses across the entire Blood Barrier, quickly managing to see what was happening outside.
A giant four-armed, blue demon was clashing against Tisha. The Elf was covered on wounds, several pieces of her armor were broken.
Her sword was covered on cracks too, the demon was covered on slashes, bleeding, and also with frost on top of his shoulders.
He was missing one of his arms, while one of Tisha's arms was dislocated!
"What is going on?! Who is that guy?"
Ruby quickly tried to help Tisha, who seemed to be in her last moments. The buffs Pekora had conjured over her were already going to end, and her strength was being slowly sapped away by the immense attacks of Marchosias.
"ROOOARR!"
"SHAAAAH!"
"Destroy the barrier!"
However, Ruby had little time to dedicate on helping others, the barrier was being constantly attacked by the demons and the demonic beasts.
She had to fully concentrate on shaping it and conjuring blood attribute spells to attack them, all while unleashing her Eternal Night and her Blood Queen Authority abilities to overwhelm the creatures.
Even now, giant chains made of shadows restrained many demons and demonic beasts, while swords made of blood and spears made of darkness pierced their bodies.
She wasn't doing this alone, her mother and the rest of the Vampires accompanying her had imbued their Divinities into the barrier, strengthening it even further.
However, they were already showing signs of exhaustion…
"Uncle! Where are you right now?!"
Ruby contacted her uncle through telepathy, quickly getting an answer.
While Ruby was someone better at using the Magic side of Vampires, Rakasha was one capable of unleashing their strongest physical side.
"[Burning Blood Hammer Arts]: [Erupting Crimson Blood Dragon]!"
With a furious swung of his Divine Hammer, Rakasha released a tremendous shockwave of Crimson Flames, killing a few dozen Demonic Beasts and a couple Demons, which had been weakened already by Ruby's magic.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
"Ruby?!"
He quickly answered her, and then added a few details.
"I'm at the east, taking care of the wounded demonic beasts and demons first! No matter how hard I try, they keep coming!"
"I know you already have your hands full, but can you go assist Tisha?! She's about to die!
"What?!"
Rakasha quickly grew alarmed, imbuing his Vampiric Aura into his body and growing a pair of bat-like wings made of crimson blood flames.
FLAAASH!
He flew into the skies and then descended like a scarlet meteor, clashing against the blue demon that was overwhelming Tisha!
"You've done more than I imagined… To think you made me lose an arm."
Marchosias had recognized Tisha's strength, and even managed to lose an arm against her powerful abilities because he lowered his guard.
"But there's a wall you simply cannot surpass!"
His four fists blazed with demonic flames, as Tisha gritted her teeth, her Draconic Aura erupting from her body to clash against Marchosias attack!
"[Divine Frost Dragon Blade Arts]: [Frost Dragon's Blizzard Breath]!"
She swung her sword vertically, as the illusion of a gigantic dragon opening its jaws was released, unleashing a devastating beam of frost and lightning against Marchosias' deadly meteoric fists!
"USELESS!"
His three fists clashed against Tisha's attack; each punch made a part of her power disappear in a single second.
BAAAM! BAAAM! BAAAM!
"Shit…!"
Tisha put the sword in front of her as the fourth attack reached her!
CLAAAASSHH!!
Crack, crack…!
"The sword's shattering?!"
Tisha saw in panic as her entire sword shattered into pieces, before the shockwave of Marchosias attack were to blow her away into the skies.
"Uuugghh…!"
"I'LL END YOU!"
Marchosias rushed towards Tisha, as the elf gritted her teeth, noticing his flames shaping into a gigantic spear!
"At the end, I wasn't able to buy her enough time…!"
FLUOOSH!
However, in that very moment, a meteoric strike reached Marchosias, charged with Vampiric and Blazing Strength into one!
CLAAAASSSHH!!!
"URGHH…?!"
Marchosias felt his skull gaining several cracks as he was pummeled into the ground, his eyes gazing at the Ice Giant Vampire that had struck him down!
"Who are you?!"
BAAAMMM!!!
He landed on the jungle with his legs, without even falling, as he glanced upwards with an annoyed gaze… One of the things the demons detested the most was to have their prey taken away from them.
Rakasha had appeared, floating right in front of Tisha. He glanced at her, noticing how badly hurt she was.
"I can tell you're not alright." He sighed. "Don't you have any Elixirs?"
"Drank them all already." She sighed, suddenly catching one from Rakasha.
"I thought your wife would take better care of you." He joked.
"She's busy, don't underestimate her." Tisha smiled, drinking the Elixir made out of Drake's blood.
FLAAASH!
Her wounds regenerated automatically, as Drake's Blood had immense regeneration and healing abilities due to his Immortal Body Unique Skill.
This, coupled with all the medicinal herbs and other materials added into the Elixir made for an amazing healing effect!
"Hahh, thank you, Rakasha, I owe you one."
"Don't worry about it… Now, we have to take care of this fucker somehow."
The two glanced down, as Marchosias smiled, simply deciding that he'll have to hunt two "Gods" now instead of one.
"Well, it doesn't matter… One, two, three, ten… Come as many as you want!"
The Demon laughed, as he quickly regrew the arm Tisha cut off from him in an instant!
"I'll tear you apart one after another with my bare hands, just as my lord as commanded me! And then… Take back what is rightfully his!"
FLAAASH!
As he overflowed with Demonic Flames and was about to reach the skies once more, suddenly, the entire jungle started trembling.
And moving as one!
RUMBLE!
TRUUUUUMMMM…!!!
"Hm?!"
Marchosias suddenly saw a near endless sea of vegetation, stones, ground, and even monsters that lived in the jungle cooperating together as a single organism!
Enormous tendrils wrapped around his limbs, stopping him from advancing.
"What the…?! What is this?!"
"This is… the plants you underestimated…"
The voice of the Rabbit-kin Shaman echoed across the entire jungle.
"There she is!" Tisha smiled proudly.
