Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure

Chapter 1207: Repelling demons (2)



The moment that these bones hands came out of the ground, they suddenly grabbed at the feet of the demons that had stopped.

These bone hands didn't hesitate at all to grab at the feet of those demons that were above them and pull them into the ground with them.

The demons were completely caught off guard since not a single one of them had expected these bone hands to suddenly come out of the ground like this.

Of course, it would be strange if they had expected such a thing in the first place.

After all, this was something that they had been lured into doing.

Before the demons had arrived, I had ordered the undead to hide themselves in the ground where the battle would be. They would be used as a trump card that would stop the demons if they ever got too close.

But after seeing the corrupted state of the demons and how they could regenerate like the corrupted sea creatures, I knew that it was best if they couldn't approach our soldiers.

That was why I used this trump card early.

The undead were the best for fighting the corrupted demons, the others could support them from afar without getting too close to the corrupted demons.

While this did mean sacrificing the undead to hold back the corrupted demons, it was better than sacrificing soldiers for this.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

The undead could be created again as long as there were enough corpses, but the humans were different. Humans only had a single life and they would never come back once they were dead.

So naturally the undead were sacrificed in place of the humans.

The corrupted demons came back to their senses after a while and began attacking the bone hands that came out of the ground, but that was when they were suddenly hit with holy magic.

The holy knights and priests were also among the line of soldiers that went forward, so they had released their holy magic when the demons were caught off guard.

This time, the effects of the attacks were different.

Unlike the flames that were stopped by the black energy that suddenly came out of them, the black energy wasn't able to stop and repair the damage from the holy magic that easily.

At the same time, it seemed like the black energy was even suffering from the holy magic.

It seemed that the black energy was being purified to a certain extent.

My eyes lit up the moment that I saw this.

I had already expected this to happen to a certain extent, but it seemed that the power of the holy magic that the holy knights and priests used wasn't as good as the divine power of the relics.

Though in the first place, it would be unreasonable to think that they would have the same effect as the relics.

At the very least, it confirmed that holy magic had an effect on the corruption energy.

It wouldn't be enough to defeat it, but if they were restrained and holy magic was used on them for a long period, it would be able to purify the corruption energy and that was already more than enough.

It was at least another way of dealing with the corrupted demons.

The other way was to use the relics that the gods gave us.

Those were imbued with divine power and would have the ability to purify the corruption energy.

The one that was up first was...

I turned to look at Ariel and gave her a nod.

Ariel was surprised to see this nod from me, but she didn't hesitate to pull out a scarf that she wrapped around her hand. She clasped her hands together and then there was a mist that suddenly appeared around her.

This mist was faint, so it wasn't visible to the naked eye at first, but it eventually became thicker and thicker until it completely hid Ariel from sight.

Only that mist didn't remain around Ariel and instead started spreading out in the area around her.

It didn't take long for that mist to spread out in the surrounding area.

However, if one looked at it closely, they would be able to see that the mist was spreading in a certain direction. It occupied an area, but it seemed to be spreading in one direction in particular.

It was an irregular shape where it was expanding lengthwise rather than spreading in an even manner.

That direction was the direction that the corrupted demons were currently in.

While the undead and the human soldiers were occupying the corrupted demons that tried to attack, the mist was slowly creeping towards them.

It spread around the human soldiers at first, but they didn't seem to notice it as their attention was completely on the corrupted demons in front of them.

However, when the mist spread to the corrupted demons, they immediately started to react.

The ones that were currently being purified by the holy magic of the holy knights and priests were the ones that reacted the most intensely to this mist that suddenly surrounded them.

"Ah!"

There were screams of pain that rang out across the battlefield, screams that were much more intense than anything that had been heard before.

With how much pain was in their voices, it was as if they were being melted alive.

Though in a way, this was what was happening to the demons that were being purified.

The moment that the mist reached them, it was as if they were being melted by acid. Or at least the dark corruption energy that surrounded them was being melted by the purification power of the divine energy that was in the mist.

That was why they were in such pain.

It seemed that the dark corruption energy was linked to the demons that they came from.

It was hard to understand how this link worked, but at the very least, it seemed that they felt pain from having it be purified like this.

In the face of the mist created with the divine power of Aquaron, the corrupted demons just stood no chance.
