The World Of Demons And Gods

*Caelian Mountain*

"Boss we have lost too many men now!" a shout from a wicked looking mercenary shouted while his body was covered with wounds and blood.

"Our weapons are getting duller and duller, this is bad!" One of them shouted in concern.

The fight has been going for two hours already and many of the cultivators have suffered greatly. Their wounds were gaped opened, there are even some cultivators have their stomach-dropping from the ground yet still trying hard to fight with the demi-beasts.

Their heroic roars echoed on the air as they tried to push the beasts away. Pile of dead bodies have already created a trench between them, but still trying their hard to fight with their lives on the line.

Only the leader of this mercenary hasn't shown any weaknesses yet as he kept smashing his heavy sword on the wild rabid beasts. He roared a battle cry as his aura kept exploding and exploding pushing the demi-beast back. Because he was only a tank class cultivator, he practically doesn't have a lethal attack, and he also has zero wide range of attacks either, what he could only do is to defend and defend.

Only his area was able to defend himself, but he couldn't help his men on his sides because he kept getting occupied by these damned demi-beasts. He had lost several men already which made him frustrated due to his incompetence to fight and protect his people. He could only wish that during the time he was learning a profession, he shouldn't have taken the tank classpath.

As their leader kept trying to finish his side, the youth behind him atop of the tree has already kept his rifle behind his back because he has already used up all his bullets. But since he had taken the path of the ranged cultivator, he has a bow and every time he nocked his bowstrings, an astral arrow appeared, and he kept shooting.

Unlike to Krystal anima sword, these astral arrows are mostly made from compressed aura like how a sword qi is formed. These astral arrows were unique only to ranged type cultivators and they are born having the ability to produce astral arrows due to their inborn capability to have a bow qi.

Although these astral arrows are powerful, but in early stages in the path of cultivation, it's so weak that it's so pathetic to use, that is why most ranged cultivators on this world use rifles and guns on early stages, when they are powerful enough, they will switch back to their bows and arrows.

An archer at the late stage of cultivation, they can kill people from very far away that a rifle cannot hope to compete.

During ancient times, the longest and farthest assassination of a ruler of an ancient kingdom near Annesly and Solomon kingdom. At his own coronation, an arrow struck his head blasting his brains and cooking his neck. People have panicked but they only found out that there's no higher ground for an assassination to take place, this baffled many people and they can't

A great astronomer from Solomon kingdom has calculated the speed and trajectory of the arrow that had hit their late ruler only to find out that the assassinator is an another ruler from another country, at first the assassinator denied the fact that he was the killer, but only to reveal when he had already killed another ruler of a kingdom!

Such feat was a legend and was never to be repeated throughout the history of Celestia continent.

The blonde youth could only bite his lips hard that it started to bleed because he can't kill those higher ranked demi-beasts and those beasts have killed many of his companions. Like his older brother, he felt frustrated on being powerless, he could only wish to have more strength, but he wasn't blessed by the gods to have a strength that surpassed the common logic.

As people started to despair in their situation. Two aura powerful aura exploded on the side of the battlefield. Everyone, both demi-beast and demi-humans have sensed this powerful aura radiating from the side of the battlefield that it practically made the fight stopped for a moment.

The leader was stunned by these two auras, although it was weaker than his own, its' weight and quality of its aura have surpassed his own! Two paladin helpers!

He felt a little relieved and soon he roared a battle cry once again enhancing his men's capabilities to fight once more, taking the chance of the stupefied demi-beast caught off guard, they slashed their weapon crazily.

"Woooo!"

"Aaaaah!"

"Duryaaaa!"

Countless weird battle cries rang out from the battlefield.

…

Seeing the wave of demi-beast attacking the defensive line of those mercenaries, both Cyrus and Krystal are shocked, there is practically a beast wave!

Cyrus didn't hold back anymore as he summoned Lynae, he removed the blade on its scabbard soon, he turned the silvery white blade into a scalding red sword. His aura exploded as he jumped to the battle!

Krystal didn't hesitate as well as her aura exploded as well, she quickly disappeared on her place and joined the battle as well!

A grade three demi-beast was standing on the battlefield observing their attack on the wave demi-humans. Soon an aura exploded from their side which startled the beast and a danger feeling appeared on its heart but it was late enough as a female cultivator suddenly appeared above its head and kicked heavily on its head-crushing its skull thus dying on the spot.

Krystal summoned twenty anima swords around her body and commanded it to spun around her body creating a halo of blue light made out of the spinning blade, she was practically a human chainsaw as she ran, creating a path of dead severed demi-beasts!

She would occasionally throw high concentrated anima swords towards a higher-grade demi-beast, and soon her attacks have blasted the ground creating an explosion of demi-beast as they were thrown up in the skies.

Meanwhile, on the other hand, Cyrus was a beast. Due to his sharp sword qi, his sword blast accompanied by a heatwave, decimated multiple demi-beast as it either exploded or thrown to the air as well smashing towards its demi-beasts' companions. Every slash, thirty to fifty beasts were thrown or died on the spot!

The two new helpers have wreaked havoc on the side of demi-beasts, and their attacks weren't slow either, both are fast! The girl speed couldn't be compared to any beast around and countless of the beast have already died due to her spinning blade, meanwhile, the swordsman was striking ten slashes every second creating ten shockwaves every second!

Their attacks have shocked the core of the mercenaries, not the demi-beasts

Seeing beasts flying all around the battlefield, they all gulped a mouthful of saliva.

Who the heck is these two!?

…

Getting annoyed, Krystal stopped her track. Gathering a massive amount of anima from her foot, she smashed her foot forward throwing everything from her path. She both clashed her hand and gripped into the air, soon a massive anima sword, twenty feet tall sword appeared.

Gripping the sword tightly, she smashed her sword horizontally creating a twenty feet radius of space on her surrounding as those demi beasts around her have been chopped or blasted away!

Cyrus used his flame technique and used a ball of fire skill. Soon, everything on his front has been blasted way farther and burned the entire battlefield!

The two didn't use their ultimate form because there was no need. Within ten minutes, everything will be over. That is how confident the two are!

…

...

...…

The blonde youth looked at the battlefield with his mouth wide open, those two newcomers are two aberrant that wreaked havoc and killed the entire half of demi-beast wave in just five minutes!

He looked at the swordsman fighting crazily with his sword slashing and piercing around so fast that he couldn't even see his attack patterns! His strength was abnormal also, each swing of his sword would create a massive sharp shockwave creating a longer range of attacks. What made him amazed is that his white clothes haven't been stained with blood! He was wreaking havoc there without getting dirty!

Meanwhile, he looked farther away. Because he was ranged type cultivator, he has an eagle eye that can see every detail that normal cultivators couldn't see.

If he were to choose one which is more aberrant in those two, then he wouldn't hesitate to pick the girl! She was crazy! Her attack patterns are wild like, it doesn't look feminine and graceful at all! She's a complete berserker!

Soon, five minutes have passed. Everyone had their jaw smacking on the ground. They just couldn't believe it everything must be a dream because it's so inconvincible! Ah!

The battlefield turned quiet, all the mercenary and even the leader included didn't dare grasp a breath as they held back all in. The wave of beasts has been forcefully stopped by these two.

All the eyes of the mercenary were locked on the two figures.

Cyrus and Krystal met up on the centre on the battlefield, and the two were both laughing smiling. The two of them walked side by side towards the stupefied mercenaries.

The two of them are laughing just now because both he and Krystal have secretly stored monster cores. Cyrus took a hundred grade one monster cores, fifty grade two monster cores, and twenty grade three monster cores! Although he can gather more, he doesn't want to rely on monster cores too much on cultivating because his foundation would be weakened if he relied more on monster cores on having a breakthrough.

The quality of his anima and aura would drop down, thus lessening his battle strength if he were to rely on monster cores.

Though he didn't know how many Krystal monster cores have she have taken, he didn't ask about it. But by just looking at her beaming face, he knew that she has taken so much that her eyes are practically shining with the world currency.

When the two of them arrived, the leader quickly clasped both of his hands, "Thank you for helping us, The Iron wall mercenaries." The leader expressed his gratitude towards the two as he respectfully bowed towards the two.

"I'm glad that we didn't arrive too late, I'm afraid if we have arrived late, there will be so much more heroic men have fallen." Cyrus expressed his concern and tried to comfort them. Indeed, his word just by being called, 'heroic men' have made their c.h.e.s.t pop up with their chins held high.

"Thank you, thank you… Men, express your gratitude towards our lifesavers!"

"Long live young master and young mistress!"

"May blessing bless you together and live a happy life!"

"May our young saviours have good karma!"

Their gratitude was way off the chart that made the two very embarrassed. They even paired the two of them, by blessing them together and live a happy life, only dumb person who would not understand that.

"N-no, no. We're only companions, there's nothing deeper than that yet." Cyrus was a bit fl.u.s.tered as he tried to explain, only to receive a kick on the knee by Krystal. She walked up front, "We're friends, that's all." She said very coldly.

Although none of them can recognize Krystal at the moment due to the fact that she was practically covered by blood, her voice and figure alone can make other know that the appearance of this lady in front of them is heaven-defying… it's just that her demeanour is very cold.

"I-is that so, forgive me for my mistake." The leader apologized.

"Yeah, just don't make thing complicated." She turned around and wave her hands, she walked away from them and went to the forest alone, her hand were clasped together holding her c.h.e.s.t feeling her wild heartbeat.

If one looked onto her face, she was nose bleeding.
