''I-I-I-It huuuurts!'' The demon screamed.
The blood-armored Zadkiel held his sword while slashing it down diagonally. At first, he was the one who cut the demon's arm, and now, he tore through the demon's throat and cleanly cut it off. It was like he was a chef, handling delicate fruits. It looked pathetically easy for him to kill all these demons!
''Close the gap, close the gap!'' Zadkiel shouted after seeing that there was a man-sized gap in the middle of the shieldwall. It was the result of the rampaging demon's rush. The angels quickly closed the gap, but the demons were repeatedly attacking them, forcing them to rapidly get pushed back.
''Sir, this is bad! We can't hold the shieldwall much longer!'' The second-in-command angel came next to Zadkiel and shouted. The shieldwall was located at the entrance of White Paradise, guarding a hundred-meter area around the gate. The New-Gen Humans and Inhumans were inside that hundred-meter area.
The five hundred meters outside the hundred meter area was under the control of the demons and was the main battlefield. There were also angels outside a hundred meter area, clashing with demons, trying to push them away from the shieldwall.
If the shieldwall was broken, the delicate hundred meter area would be ruined, and the demons would definitely enter White Paradise and cause too much damage to their forces.
Zadkiel frowned and nodded. They had to use the second phase.
''GUNNERS!'' He shouted, and after his shout, a loud horn blew across the air. It was heard by everyone in White Paradise and by fighting demons.
The nearby walls had activity. The loud footsteps rang from the top of the walls, and suddenly hundreds of Inhumans arrived from their ducking position. Since the start of the war, they had ducked, waiting for the horn. Now, they stood up--holding guns.
They aimed the guns at the sea of demons and had already removed their safety. The reason why there were only Inhumans was that they had learned all sorts of weapons at a young age. It was mostly Iah who taught them, and his strict teaching made them quite good.
''Fire!'' Zadkiel shouted.
Ratatatatatata... The shower of bullets shredded through the air and tore through the sea of demons.
''Aaaghh!'' The demons screamed as the bullets went through their durable skins. The area around the shieldwall was quickly emptying as the demons had to start retreating to go further away from the walls.
After all, Inhumans had to fire from a hundred meters away, and they could only successfully hit so many demons because they were packed like sardines in a jar. Now, they have started spreading around and running further away.
The demons weren't fools and quickly figured out the weak point of that strategy. Once they were two hundred meters away, the Inhumans stopped firing after they stopped hitting their marks.
The demons turned around to face the shieldwall. They looked outraged and could feel the scent of fresh meat in other side of the walls, but getting there seemed so difficult!
''God damn it!''
''Damn, I want to taste blood and I want to hear their screams. Can't they just die!''
''I am feeling horny! I hadn't had any good ones for six months. I am growing crazy!''
''These goddamn insects are tough to kill!''
In outer space, Lucifer saw the scene and sighed. It seemed that their first attack had failed. However, he expected that to happen. It was to test the initial strategy that their enemies were using. It seemed they had created some sort of ''safe zone" at the entrance of the city and would put all their effort into defending it.
It was not a bad plan. Everyone would feel more motivated to protect that one area than to focus their effort on the entire battlefield.
Focusing their efforts across the entire battlefield could exhaust their mental and physical prowess quickly. However, if there was only one area, it was easier and more doable.
However, Lucifer immediately thought of several ideas to overcome that obstacle.
''Your turn.'' Lucifer's voice rang in the ears of a single demon.
In a spaceship, blue-skinned demon uncrossed his arms and put his palm on the armrest. In the arm, several holographic screens appeared. With those, he controlled the ship and started descending down to Four Seasons.
The Gods and Goddesses immediately noticed the new appearance of a spaceship. They immediately thought that demons sent reinforcements.
The demons looked at the ship and immediately recognized whose it was. They couldn't help but laugh and started taunting their enemies.
"You are all dead now!''
''Hahaha, when ''He'' is on the battlefield, no one will be spared!''
''Yes, finally we can get to enjoy the fruits of our effort. I can't wait!''
''I am already salivating!''
Zadkiel and the angels turned serious.
The spaceship landed on the outskirts of the woods, and then, the door opened, releasing a cloud of smoke. A sole figure appeared amid the smoke, and he casually stepped down from the spaceship.
His blue was incredibly blue, and he looked like he had suffered a frost bite. His eyes were black without any white. They looked like dots of black with no emotion behind them. He was severely tall, around 2 meters, with a lean build.
He donned a black trenchcoat with a high collar and floral patterns. A sheath dangled from his hip, and the hilt of the sword had more flower patterns.
Then, the man put his palm on the hilt of the sword and unsheathed it. He revealed a crescent-shaped blade, and even the blade had strange flower patterns. They looked slightly transparent while emblazoned in grayish steel.
The demons cheered loudly as the man walked past them.
''The Night of the Crimson Moon is a religious night for demons. Why?'' The man stopped once he was at the front of the demon army. He slightly lifted his skin, revealing his unusually handsome face. ''Because, during the Crimson Moon, we happen to desire more than usual. It's like our desires have doubled suddenly.
''And demons, happen to have a lot of desires... Like my desire is to admire flowers... But, I also like making flowers, and now I feel like creating flowers out of the blood of Archangel.''
His strange desire caused frowns on their opponents' faces... However, whether his desire was strange or not, this man was extremely dangerous.
His name is Ano...
The Demon General...
First Rank...
The man closest to becoming the newest Demon Lord, Ano the Flower Sword!
