Chapter 904 Abyssal War [Part 3]

?

Jackal's face turned grim as he witnessed the carnage that was happening on the battlefield.

Although not all the soldiers who had been affected by the Corpse Explosion died, most of them suffered serious injuries and were now unable to continue fighting.

To make matters worse, he noticed a Black Coffin swallowing up the dead bodies of his soldiers before spitting them back out like cannonballs towards the two Legions that he had sent to reinforce their vanguard.

The commanders of the two Legions hurriedly ordered their soldiers to retreat as fast as possible and even took the initiative to use spells to obliterate the falling corpses from the sky to prevent their own Legions from getting annihilated.

Blackfire wasn't too pleased to see its attempt to draw first blood on the enemy's reinforcement fail.

Because of this, it flew in the direction of the two retreating legions like a cannonball, flying past the rear forces of the two armies.

When the Black Coffin was deep in the enemy's battle formation. Its lid opened up, and several beams of light rained down on the Demonic Army.

The Commanders watched as a man, whose skin was crimson red, appeared in the midst of their army.

He was holding a flaming red spear and a round shield in his hands, which made the temperature rise in his surroundings.

Surrounding him were several men who also held spears and round shields in their hands.

The only difference was that their weapons and shields weren't covered in flames unlike the man standing at the center of the formation.

Before the Commanders and their soldiers could even react to the new threat that had infiltrated deep among their ranks, Leonidas' words reached their ears.

"Unless I miss my guess, we're in for one wild night."

The leader of the gladiators then thumped the rear end of his spear on the ground twice, and his comrades moved accordingly to stand side by side, forming a phalanx formation.

The only difference was instead of forming a wall of shields and spears, they formed a dome of shields and spears with Leonidas at its center.

If someone were to look at it from afar, it looked like a turtle shell with spikes protruding at the small spaces by its side, giving no room for the Demons to attack them.

"Show them hell!" Leonidas ordered.

As soon as he gave his orders, the dome of shields and spears started to spin rapidly.

A moment later, it caught flames, turning into a spinning dome of fire that rammed its enemies, tearing them apart and burning their remains.

It didn't take long for the smell of burning flesh to spread on the battlefield, forcing the enemy's forces to scatter in order to escape the spinning dome of fire that was slaughtering demons in the dozen.

Due to their location, it was hard for those at the center to escape because they were right in the middle of the formation, allowing Leonidas and his men to continue their one-sided slaughter for a good period of time.

Those who were at the edges finally realized that they needed to back away in order to allow their comrades to escape a gruesome fate, but they suddenly found themselves facing four Plague Deathworms.

These deadly Tyrants didn't hesitate to use their enormous bodies to crush the Demons under them, creating complete chaos among their enemy's ranks.

In a span of a few minutes, the Four Demonic Legions found themselves running for their lives as Lux's forces steadily decimated them.

Naturally, the two Commanders who were leading the reinforcements were infuriated because of the sudden turn of events.

Because of this, they personally attacked the Black Coffin, which was floating not far away from Leonidas, and his Gladiators.

"I'll shatter you to pieces even if it's the last thing I do!" a Demon with a giant war axe charged at Blackfire with his weapon raised high.

His companion, who was wielding a halberd, shared the same opinion.

This Commander then moved behind the Black Coffin for a pincer formation, charging at their target from the front and the back.

Blackfire, who had been singled out by the two Dreadnaught-Ranked Commanders, made several rows of texts appear in front of the two Demons who planned to destroy it.

"So you choose death."

Those were the words the Blackfire had shown the two Commanders, which only angered them more.

When the two Commanders were only a few meters away from Blackfire, the lid of the coffin opened, and two beams of light erupted from it.

The Demon wielding a Giant War Axe found himself staring face to face with a Giant Flaming Black Tiger, whose jaws were wide open.

Before the Demon could even react, the Tiger's jaws bit the side of his body, making him scream out in pain.

The Demon, who had swung his Halberd from behind Blackfire found his weapon blocked by a silver tower shield, preventing it from reaching its target.

The Paladin of Vengeance, who was once the High Templar of the Divine Army of Light, looked at the Demon with indifference before thrusting his sword towards his enemy's chest, piercing his demonic heart.

The two Demon Commanders died just like that, making those who witnessed it feel a chill run down their spine.

The Paladin of Vengeance carried the body of the slain Commander and offered it to Blackfire, who nodded gratefully before swallowing the offering.

The Black Flaming Tiger, on the other hand, casually tossed the Demon on its jaws towards the Black Coffin as if throwing a piece of trash in the garbage can.

Naturally, Blackfire didn't reject the tribute and swallowed the Demon Commander as well.

When this deed was done, the Black Coffin hovered above its two bodyguards and scanned the battlefield.

It was like a food aficionado who was analyzing the dishes in front of him, searching for those that were of high quality.

Blackfire no longer swallowed corpses willy-nilly because it now had "standards".

Only those it deemed to be worthy to become part of its Master's Legion would be brought into the fold.

As for the rest, they still had some worth since their corpse could serve as fodder for his Master's Corpse Explosion.

After finding its next target, the Black Coffin flew, bringing its two bodyguards alongside it.

Truth be told, Blackfire was eyeing Jackal from afar.

Aside from Andras, who was fighting against Rhiannon in the heavens, the Demon General was the one he wanted to devour the most.

If not for the fact that Jackal was well protected by half of Andras' Demonic Army, Blackfire would have already brought his two servants to attack him, adding another powerful subordinate to his Master's army.
