NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1506: Re-Conquering

C R A A A S H !
With a swing of his fists, Varkrax blew up the castle's walls, walking out with anger and disbelief as he saw Blake's Familiars rapidly approach his fortress.
"What are you doing, you lazy pieces of shit?! Move, start fighting! Get ready!"
His roar echoed, as thousands of demons panicked, running from one place to another. Shamans activated barriers and wizards prepared gigantic magic circles, greeting the familiars with powerful demonic magic spells, as many as they could.
"Don't let them breach the barrier nor the walls! This is a fortress we must hold at all cost for Lord Lucifer and Lord Leviathan!"
With a furious roar, Varkrax charged forward, blowing away hundreds of Familiars with a swing of his massive black and red sword, explosions of infernal flames erupted, burning Familiars into ashes.
Allen, Henrietta, and Hyun glanced from afar, noticing the destruction this Great Demon General was bringing forth.
"Whew, this one looks quite troublesome!" Henrietta said. "What do we do, Allen?"
"It shouldn't be anything beyond our strength," Allen said. "If anything, a minor inconvenience that would have been swept by the wave of familiars sooner or later."
"But that's not your style, right?" Hyun wondered, smirking. "Let me take care of this..."
The First Summoner spread his hands forward, as thousands of Shadow Familiars suddenly merged into a Giant Shadow Templar, a black knight releasing constant shadows from the crevices of his armor, holding a massive sword and a shield, and charging towards the Great Demon General.
"Huh?! Who are you?!"
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
Both the demon and the familiar clashed, explosions of demonic flames and shadows erupting everywhere. Varkrax seemed to have the advantage at first, but he was rapidly pushed back, his magic, techniques, and aura were strong, but whatever Hyun had summoned was stronger, constantly regenerating from massive wounds.
"Finish him already, Shadow Templar!"
The Shadow Templar's blazing eyes glowed with red light for a moment, as he swung his abyssal sword towards the demon, slicing through his torso and splitting him into two halves.
"G R A A A A A C K !"
Varkrax screamed in agony, as his upper half fell to the ground, blood and organs splattering everywhere.
"You did it! Nice!" Henrietta celebrated happily.
"DAMN IT!"
However, at that moment, Varkrax's voice echoed once more, his upper half sprouted two small legs, beginning to run away from the area and into the sea, aiming to swim all the way back to the Dark Continent.
"Seriously?!" Henrietta asked. "This can't be real..."
"Huh, he sure has a strong survival instinct, haha!" Allen laughed.
"Hmph, damn rat," Hyun groaned, as the Abyssal Templar stepped forward, piercing through demon's body and splitting him in half...
"GAAAAHHH!"
However, the Demon General started running again, using each of the legs of the two halves, and commanded by each head, it jumped into the water, swimming away.
"Huh, what a strange fellow, are they all like this?" Allen wondered.
"No, actually, this is good," suddenly, Blake's voice echoed, appearing in the form of a being made of colorful crystals, Rainbow Star's clone form, which he could remotely control. "Let him go, so he can tell everyone to get ready. He'll amass a big army, the biggest he can."
"So you want to wipe them all out as quickly as possible, huh?" Allen wondered. "You sure love efficiency, Blake."
"Yeah, I do, I like to do things swiftly and cleanly, if possible," Blake said. "But if I must stain my blade with blood, I do it. You can rest for now, we're done. The Central Continent has been mostly freed, and humanity has finally regained the land they lost to the demons."
"Back then when I was alive, this part of the continent wasn't even taken over by them, they sure progressed quickly..." Allen looked into the crimson wasteland, now filled with demonic miasma.
Demonic Trees and Demonic Beasts roamed the land even now, and Demonic Grass and other endemic species of Hell were now spread everywhere.
Demons didn't just settle on the area they invade; they spread their energies and terraform the area to fit their home world. From the trees, the grass, and even the wild beasts, they're all part of their diet as well.
"What will we do with this though?" Henrietta wondered. "Should we purify it all with Elizabeth's Holy Magic? The Saintess is very strong thanks to all the training you're making her go through, poor girl."
"Yes, I plan to employ Elizabeth into this," Blake said. "But I will also harvest these Demonic Treasures for myself, my Spirit Realm will welcome them, and I will be able to harvest these resources."
"Wait, what?!" Henrietta gasped, as she saw Blake's clone spread his Aura through the skies, as Draconic Mana surged from his Soul.
"The land of the demons, wicked and cursed, become part of my own Spirit Realm!"
RUMBLE!
With words imbued into reality, the power of Dragon Tongue was unleashed, as the wastelands in front of Blake cracked and separated from the rest, floating in midair and entering a rainbow-colored portal leading to Blake's Spirit Realm, unifying with it.
"No way, he just took a piece of land?!" Henrietta asked.
"U-Unbelievable... this man is something else," Allen laughed.
"Hmph, what else can't he do?" Hyun smiled, crossing his arms. "Templar, guard the coast for now."
"I'll go around the place doing the same for a while, then Elizabeth and I will purify the land with a wide-range formation spell," Blake explained. "Rest until tomorrow, guys, you can also move to the city if you want to."
"Alright~! Thank you Blake!" Henrietta said, waving her hand. "Damn that guy never stops the grind, huh?"
"He's a man of sheer fucking will, that's what he is," Allen laughed. "Well, shall we have a few drinks while we wait until tomorrow? As Spirits we don't even feel tired, and getting drunk is even harder, but we can try."
