NOVEL NEXT Chapter 347: Counterattack Battle
On a vast plain, tens of thousands of soldiers from the Khaos Brigade and the old Demon King faction were advancing rapidly.
Rias and Akeno floated in the air, while below them, the Nine-tailed Legion had already formed their battle formation.
“Rias, Club President, the enemy is within striking range.”
A group of bats flew back and coalesced into the form of Gasper.
“You’ve worked hard, Gasper. Take a rest for now.”
Rias nodded and offered her thanks. As a Vampire, Gasper’s abilities were well-suited for reconnaissance, so before the battle began, Rias assigned him the task of gathering intelligence on the enemy. Gasper, who performed admirably, did not disappoint Rias.
Watching the approaching enemies in the distance, a cold glint flickered in Rias’ beautiful eyes. As the next in charge of the Gremory family, she was not a soft-hearted girl. Those despicable enemies had shattered the peace of the Underworld, and they all deserved to be damned!
“Attack!”
With control granted by Tenraku, Rias gave the order to the Nine-tailed Legion below.
“Hǒǒǒuuu!!!”
A fierce roar resounded as the large nine-tailed foxes in the front and the hundreds of smaller ones in the rear opened their massive mouths, conjuring up furious Scarlet Bijūdama that shot forth.
Hōng Hōng Hōng Hōng hōng!!!!
“Ahhhhhhhh!!!”
Explosions reverberated in the area as flames shot up into the sky, and the Bijū Legion operated like tireless long-range artillery, relentlessly claiming the lives of the enemy.
By the time the disheveled enemy forces reached the Demon King’s army, more than half of them were already gone!
“Kill!”
With a united effort, Rias and her women descended from the sky. The Demon King soldiers, who were already prepared, also sprung into action. Magic users cast spells from the rear, while swordsmen and spear-wielders charged forward to engage the enemy in close combat.
Battle cries and wails of despair filled the entire plain, which had turned into a bloody battlefield…
—
Above a body of water somewhere, thousands of figures in magic robes were flying rapidly.
They were an elite squad from the Rebel Army, preparing to launch an airstrike on a city on the other side of the water.
However—
Splash!!!
“Ah!!”
Suddenly, a column of water shot up from the water below, hitting an unfortunate individual who was then propelled thousands of meters into the sky before disappearing without a trace.
The atmosphere fell into an instant silence. It wasn’t until hundreds of water columns erupted from the water below again that everyone snapped back to reality—
“Ambush!”
“Spread out! Quickly, spread out!”
“Ahhhhh!”
The captain of the squad shouted frantically, but it was all in vain. One by one, his team members were propelled into the sky by the water columns, leaving no remains behind. In the end, even he couldn’t escape.
“Incredible…!”
“No wonder it’s a Demonic Beast created by Lord Tenraku!”
In the water below, Sitri Sona and her Peerage emerged. Nimura Ruruko and Hanakai Momo were gripping their fists, their faces flushed with excitement.
Beneath the feet of the women, hundreds of monsters with bull-like heads and serpent tails were lurking underwater. They all had wide eyes and were blowing bubbles. If someone suddenly saw them, they would surely be startled. However, the girls found these little monsters more and more adorable the longer they looked at them.
“Lady Sona, the other enemy squad is due to arrive in thirty minutes.”
Receiving a communication from friendly forces, Shinra Tsubaki informed Sitri Sona calmly.
“Continue to lie in ambush and eliminate every last one of them!”
“Yes!”
With a response, the girls once again submerged in the water…
—
Desolation and ruin loomed after the recent battle. Tenraku, Yubelluna, and the other girls rested temporarily in a stronghold within a city.
This marked the eighth day since the outbreak of the conflict. Each day, Tenraku and his Peerage were teleported to various frontlines to provide support. After replenishing their Spirit Power, they hurried back to Lucifaad to create more Demonic Beasts for reinforcement on various battlefields.
This was a war that swept across the entire Underworld, the largest counterattack by the old Demon King faction. Malicious factions like the Khaos Brigade took advantage of the chaos. There were casualties every day, inflicting immense losses on the entire Underworld.
However, the era of the old Demon King had passed, and no matter how they struggled, it was in vain. Sirzechs and Azazel went to the Grecian Underworld for a “cordial” talk with the Reaper’s sovereign, neutralizing the threat from the Reaper’s side.
Allies like the Angels, Fallen Angels, and the Northern Europe God System sent reinforcements one after another. With the effective counterattacks of the Allied forces, the Rebel Army steadily retreated. Their ultimate defeat was now inevitable.
While this conflict brought countless sorrows and tears, it also brought forth many brave and heroic figures.
A certain Demon King froze a city occupied by the enemy into ice sculptures using his magic staff. Rias, Sona Sitri, and their women led the Bijū Legion through dozens of battles, withstanding wave after wave of enemy attacks and eliminating tens of thousands of foes.
Even Sairaorg and Seekvaira, among others, displayed exceptional prowess and earned numerous merits on the battlefield.
Although Tenraku didn’t always fight on the front lines like Rias and the others, giving off more of a bystander vibe, the Bijū Legion he created was widely known. It was sent to various battlefields, playing an extremely crucial role in this war.
Not only that but Ddraig and Albion were also active everywhere. Wherever they went, they obliterated the enemies with an absolute dominance. Towards the end, the sight of them was enough to strike terror into the hearts of the enemy. Those who encountered them either scattered and fled or surrendered outright.
Jokes aside, those who hadn’t personally experienced that kind of despair would never understand the terror of these two Berserker Dragons.
There was no escape, only death!
There was noo surrender, only death!
Although Ddraig and Albion were only this active because they had been sealed in Sacred Gears for too long, their actions earned them great fame among the populace of the Underworld.
Devils themselves revered strength, and Ddraig and Albion held an absolute advantage in this aspect. Now, standing on the side of “justice,” they were fanatically admired by countless Underworld Devils. Often, as they flew over towns, one could hear the excited cheers of the people below. Even Tenraku, their master, basked in some of the glory.
Well, it wasn’t like Ddraig, Albion, or Tenraku cared about these things.
“Okaa-Sama, cheer on!”
In the live broadcast on television, a golden nine-tailed fox was spewing flames to annihilate the enemies of the Khaos Brigade. Kunou sat atop the fox’s back, shouting loudly.
The golden nine-tailed fox was none other than Yasaka Princess, the leader of the Kyoto Yōkai. After the turmoil in the Underworld, Yasaka Princess led the Yōkai from Kyoto to provide reinforcements.
Tenraku had been too busy with battles and rescue missions in recent days to even have a chance to meet Yasaka Princess. However, there was no rush. After this war ended, they would have plenty of time to catch up…
