Reign immediately went to find the demon, taking the shortest route and passing right through the enemy army. He didn't forget to focus and tried to sense the three demons whilst charging ahead and massacring the demonic creatures in front of him.

With him being much closer to the enemy, it was easier for him to sense their souls and the differences between them, but it was still an incredibly tall task to sense 3 demons out of an army of over 1 million.

Tier III creatures had stronger souls and would be easier to sense, but Reign still sensed nothing. He was able to sense the Tier III Giants, and even some Tier III demonic creatures, but he was certain that there were no demons present in the army.

As he passed through them, a single thought passed through his head.

'What if the demons weren't here at all?' Reign's eyes suddenly widened as he thought of a possibility.

He quickly stopped, stared at the army of Riplas, and constricted his eyes.

'Damn it, they might very well have done that.' Reign grit his teeth before charging his power to its maximum and tried to run back, only for an incredible power to grab him and suddenly pull him far away from the army.

"Behind!" Reign shouted out with all of his might as his voice reverberated through the battlefield, making it possible for everyone to hear his words.

"Behind, what does he mean?" One general asked as Raigon widened his eyes and used his ability to create a large golden shield behind them.

Many attacks landed on the shield, and many more fell down on the wall and the soldiers as demos suddenly appeared behind them.

It was as if a curtain was lifted from the troop of 500 demons, of which most were Tier I, while some were Tier II and were led by the three Tier III demons.

"What?!" The king shouted out in disbelief before pulling out his sword.

Lios and Raigon didn't lag behind and did the same before charging at the enemy.

Compared to the army that had now collided with their troops in front of them, the small troop of 500 demons was an even larger issue as they had managed to come behind them and completely blindside them with the attack.

The king and the rest were able to immediately respond to the attack thanks to Reign's warning, but it was still a precarious situation to be in.

The four lines they had made for their army were now in trouble as they needed to pull some of the Tier I combatants and some Tier II combatants in order to combat the demons while the three Tier III fighters were now forced to fight in the back, unable to help out if any enemy Tier III combatant was to attack them.

"Lico, Lisea, use 'that' and help out at the front!" Raigon suddenly shouted before charging and fighting one of the enemy Tier III combatants while Lisea and Lico nodded in affirmation.

Both of them stepped to the front and suddenly, a formation appeared on the battlefield.

The formation was actually wide enough to cover the whole battlefield and had been constructed by Raigon and the other Tier III combatants during the 2 days they had before the enemy army arrived.

It was mostly thanks to Raigon and his 'Creation' that they were able to make the array as he had created hundreds of small devices to help out during the creation of the array.

As for the array itself?

It was the same one Raigon had used months ago in order to boost his power so that he could fight against the enemy king that had reached Tier I.

Compared to back then, the array this time was many times larger, and there were many more souls and bodies that were devoured by it.

It could be considered blasphemy to do something as cruel as this, to simply take the souls of millions of people, even though they had been corrupted, and not let them die in peace.

Raigon, however, knew that it was impossible for him to continue staying moral and had to create something like this in the case of them needing help during the battle. The array would also be useful in thinning out the number of demonic creatures and would help out the soldiers, further lowering the casualties they would face.

Souls of the fallen started appearing on the battlefield and charged at the demonic creatures, their corrupted souls drawing them like moths to a flame.

The souls were corrupted themselves, constantly flickering around and showing demonic features from time to time, but they charged at the demonic creatures with full force.

Their power, however, was not enough to take down the demonic creatures, and even their large numbers wouldn't be enough to allow them to defeat them.

Still, for the army of Riplas that was fighting the enemy with everything they had, it was enough to give them some breathing space and allowed them to take down the enemies with higher efficiency.

No demonic creature was spared from the attacks of the fallen souls, even the Tier II and Tier III creatures were attacked, and were forced to fight them off, which was actually quite easy for them.

Only the souls of Tier II demonic creatures that had fallen in battle were somewhat of an issue, but it was still nothing threatening to them.

Lisea and Lico suddenly burst out with great force, enough to allow them to fight against Tier III enemies. The price for such power was the bodies of millions of creatures, and the huge number of souls, most of which were used to boost their power.

The two nodded at each other before charging at the enemy Tier III combatants, knowing full well that they needed to stop them from approaching the troops, otherwise it would be a bloodbath.

Eisenhorn had arrived near the mid-grade Tier III giant, and although he felt the mana fluctuations from behind the army and knew that they were now in a bad spot, he gritted his teeth and continued with his original plan, to get rid of all the Tier III giants, of which he had already eliminated two.

'Only a little bit, just hang on for a little bit and I will join you.' Eisenhorn said to himself before jumping high in the air and slashing at the mid-grade Tier III giant.

The monster used its giant arm to defend against the attack and succeeded in blocking it for a couple of seconds before its arm was cut off.

'The other ones were unable to block one blow from my blade, but this one could somewhat defend against it, we're lucky the enemy doesn't have any more of them or any demons that were even more powerful, otherwise, this battle could turn out very differently from what we imagined before.' Eisenhorn thought before attacking the giant again.

About 2 miles away from the battlefield, Reign was finally able to free himself of the pull that had brought him away.

He stood about 200 meters away from a small array in which a demon was standing in. The demon's left arm was stretched out, and it suddenly twitched as Reign managed to get rid of the weird force that pulled him away.

"You were able to free yourself, interesting." The demon said before leaving the array and walking toward Reign, his archaic voice echoing through the surrounding area.

"So you're the leader, huh?"

"Correct." The demon said with a smirk as he stared at Reign before disappearing from the spot.

Reign quickly moved to the side before swinging back.

Clang!

Two swords collided as the demon stared curiously at Reign. His six eyes blinked as he stepped back.

The demon had four large horns that were sticking out from his forehead while a white robe adorned his body. He stood at about 1.8 meters and his body, although muscular, was more of a lean build compared to most demons.

His skin was pale red and there were no scales on it. Reign was immediately able to notice that as he was used to seeing scales on the bodies of demons and this was the first time he had seen a demon without them.

As Reign was observing the demon, the latter was doing the same to him. He felt curious about the human that had suddenly appeared and managed to foil most of his plans. He knew that even if he were to be victorious today, with the kingdom knowing of his existence, they had surely spread out  word of what was happening, and it wouldn't be long before the powerful beings of the world would start making their way over here.

"I have heard that you can sense demons." The demon said.

"Since the souls of my brethren have not returned to me, I first thought that you guys had maybe locked them away, but it seems that's not the case."

"Well, you were correct to think so." Reign said with a smirk as he stared at the demon.

"I see, so, human, would you mind telling me where they are, I promise you a quick and painless death if you do so, I will not torture your soul and will let it leave this place."

"Yeah right, less talking big guy, I can see it in your eyes that you're fired up."

"Humph, as you wish."
