Death… And Me-Novel

Chapter 350 - Reliance's Help

Roan's eyes narrowed as he looked at the sky.

'So, they really brought the aerial army.'

Tolak helping Cassen was something that Jialin knew for quite some time already. Naturally, they also had quite a good deal of information about this country. After all, Jialin and Tolak were separated by just a single country, Cassen. That meant that they were still a threat to Jialin, depending on the situation.

Of course, none of the Aerial Demon Beasts surpassed the Stage Four level. In fact, the majority were at Stage Two, with just a few at Stage Three. Stage Four Aerial Demon Beasts could be counted on just one hand.

All of a sudden, one of the cultivators on the back of a demon beast took one of the red orbs. Soon after, he infused his Spiritual Energy into it before throwing the red orb at the Jialin Army.

The Army below was busy defending against the ranged attacks from the hill, so they had little time to pay attention to that single red orb. However, before it touched the ground, it was hit by one of the ranged attacks of the Jialin Army.

*Boom!*

An enormous explosion came out in midair. The explosion immediately attracted the attention of Jialin Units as well.

"Explosion Fire Beads!"

It was a similar product to the Lightning Beads. However, one needed to have higher cultivation to activate it due to the amount of Spiritual Energy necessary. Of course, the greater the Spiritual Energy, the larger the explosion. These Explosion Fire Beads couldn't be used by Energy Gathering Realm cultivators but were much stronger than the Lightning Beads once charged by Foundation Establishment cultivators or higher.

The results were for everyone to see. A single bead could generate an explosion on par with a Foundation Establishment Cultivator's full power attack. If a Core Formation Realm charged it, then the explosion would be even more frightening.

As soon as the first Explosion Fire Bead detonated, several more of them began to rain from the skies.

*Boom, boom, boom...*

Immediately, the Units of the Left and Right wings were caught in a chaotic environment. The Shield Formation's efficiency soon plummeted as the ranged attacks from the Cassen Cultivators increased the damage.

The few Core and Soul Fusion Realm cultivators of the Jialin Army immediately shot into the skies. They were the only ones capable of flying, so they had to stop it. Unfortunately, Tolak Army was already expecting that.

Before the Jialin Experts could even cross half the distance, several other Core and Soul Fusion Realm cultivators appeared in front of them.

"Do you guys think we will let you do as you please?"

"Hahaha! Ignore the Demon Beasts above. Come and play with us for a while."

A small-scale battle was immediately initiated in the sky between Jialin and the other three countries' Core and Soul Fusion Realm experts. Seeing that made the units below feel even more helpless. After all, the Explosion Fire Beads did not stop coming down.

Just as everyone thought that the formations would be broken, something happened.

*Creeee!*

*Creeee!*

*Creeee!*

*Creeee...*

Suddenly, many more Flying Demon Beasts appeared from behind Roan's Army. Seeing that, the Cassen experts cheered even more.

"Even more reinforcements!"

"Those Jialin scoundrels are done for!"

"Hahaha! We gave them a chance, but they refused. This is the price of that decision."

However, as the Cassen Army rejoiced, Elder Rurio's expression went dark. Gofen noticed that and decided to ask.

"Are those flying demon beasts part of your Demon Beast Army?"

Rurio shook his head.

"No."

Gofen didn't have to hear any more to understand what was happening. Jialin had also brought their own Flying Demon Beast army to deal with Tolak.

When the battle against the three countries started, Roan understood that there was a big chance that Tolak brought their Aerial Demon Beast Army. Obviously, he wouldn't just stay still and do nothing about it. That being said, he called Elder Reliance and asked for his help.

Kentucky was participating in this war as part of the Death Unit. How could Reliance lose the chance to see the Minokawa improving its combat abilities? Reliance had always followed Roan's group closely while he researched the Minokawa's capabilities.

Once the information about Tolak arrived, Roan told Reliance that they would definitely need a way to stop their Aerial Demon Beast Army. With that said, Reliance had Zunzun fly back to the sect and gather all the Aerial Demon Beasts back in the Dalamu Sect. Most of them were his own demon beasts, so no one would complain if he took them all. Not to mention that he was the leader of the Demon Beast Faction in the sect.

However, everyone soon noticed that Jialin's Aerial Demon Beast Army was much smaller than Tolak's. Well, that was to be expected. One was a country specialized in taming Aerial Demon Beasts. The other was basically Reliance alone using his resources. he couldn't possibly tame more demon beasts than Tolak.

The only good thing was that Tolak didn't dispatch their entire army for this war. Only a small part of it came to give help to Cassen since Tolak also had to worry about their own land. Otherwise, Reliance's own forces would be far from enough to make any change in the situation.

The new cloud of Aerial Demon Beasts came flying in the direction of the Tolak ones. On their back, one could also see several cultivators ready for battle. However, there was another difference between the Tolak Demon Beast Army and Reliance's one. Roan didn't bring Explosion Fire Beads for them to use, nor did he have the time to request them. Naturally, they couldn't use the same strategy as Tolak. That being said, Roan changed his plans and gathered very specific types of cultivators.

Suddenly, one of Jialin's cultivators stood up on the flying demon beast and took a bow from behind his back. An arrow quickly appeared in his hand, which he used to pull the string. The Bow bent into a half-moon shape as the arrow was prepared to be shot. At the same time, Fire Element gathered on the arrow tip.

Finally, the cultivator shot the arrow that flew at a frightening speed against the Aerial Beast's bag of Explosion Fire Beads. That arrow was so fast that even the cultivator on the back of the Demon Beasts didn't have time to react. Everyone could already imagine the results when that arrow hit its target.

*Boom!*

An enormous explosion generated by tens of Explosion Fire Beads went out. The explosion also affected three more Aerial Demon Beasts nearby, making their Explosion Fire Beads detonate as well.

The Cassen Army's cheering immediately stopped when they saw that. They looked at the skies as the four Demon Beats were annihilated together with their cultivators by the explosion of the beads.

Roan faintly smiled as he looked at the scene. Obviously, it didn't stop there—several other cultivators on the back of Reliance's Demon Beasts stood up soon after.

Roan had been very specific with the type of cultivators he needed for Reliance's Flying Demon beasts. At least at the Late Stage Core Formation Realm, specializing in ranged attacks, and a Fire Element user. Only with that could he prevent the enemy's cultivators from defending against the attacks on the Explosion Fire Beads through overwhelming attack power.

Tolak's Aerial Demon Beast Army had a lot more Demon Beasts than Jialin's. But at this moment, they all felt like they wanted to flee as fast as possible. None of them wanted to be there when the Explosion Fire Beads detonated.
