Chapter 40: Chapter 39 – Problems at the Border (4)

During my fight with the General of Fallen Angels, my army started slowly overpowering Fallen that were fighting against my devils.

Slowly, many Fallen Angels were either killed by spells or in close combat.

Corpses of Fallen Angels were falling from the sky like droplets of water during heavy rain. For me, a devil, it was a beautiful sight to see. Soon enough, the rest of my army came in, which was ordered to deal with injured Fallen from the explosion of the Magic Tower.

After the rest of my army arrived, the situation completely turned around, and hundreds of Fallen were being killed with each passing minute. As a newly found warmonger and battle maniac, I joined the fight and started slaughtering the Fallen like a cabbage.

Most of these Fallen were just Low-Class or Middle-Class, they were weak, and their combat prowess was even lower than their Class. I heard rumors that many Fallen weren't good combatants, and only a few Fallen Armies were top-notch.

Namely, ones led by Azazel, Baraquiel, Kokabiel, and most notable one, Azrael, the Angel of Death.

From what I heard, Azrael didn't become part of the Grigori and rather occupied territory deep within the Underworld, far from Grigori and Devils, and became a rather reclusive group.

I wondered a little bit why.

Why did the strongest Archangel ever create and born choose to become a reclusive hermit?

I stored the Fallen Angel General's body in my dimensional storage, as that could be used as my fuel for advancement when I unlock Devour Clan Trait.

I observed the process of cleaning the battlefield. I also ordered properly cleaning the battlefield, taking all weapons and armor. Devils normally didn't do that; mainly, nobles were against it as it was below them to take something from killed Fallen. I didn't care.

All of those armor and weapons could be smelted and reforged into new things that would make me money.

After one hour, the entire battlefield was cleared, and all corpses of the fallen were stored in separate dimensional storage. I thought they could be helpful to later, maybe as food for monsters or something in that way.

Altogether, I came here with 100,000 soldiers, and fortunately, my losses were only aroáund between five to eight thousand, which was an excellent victory.

Before leaving, I left here half of my legion to guard the area before sending here Arcane Mechanical Automatons to build here another Magic Tower, as the entire array was now disrupted.

The array was actually a super barrier formation that was created by activating all Magic Towers of my territory at the same time, enveloping it in the barrier that should withstand even attacks of multiple Super-Devils or Greater Divinity Stage Gods.

It was something that I created with the help of an Architect to protect my territory during the Great War. During the war, there would be countless raids, surprise attacks, or ambushes aimed mainly at civilian-populated areas, and that was a significant threat as loss of lives could be immeasurable.

Only several Houses had something like this, as it cost a great deal of money to create and required a very experienced and knowledgeable magician, so most Houses didn't bother with creating such defensive arrays. Zekram had one for sure; he even had a smaller version of it, which I was just working on over each city.

Truth be told, I had planned to invest most of my wealth into the protection and fortification of my territory before the Great War. Wealth could be easily regained after the Great War, as then the entire infrastructure of devils would be in ruins. On the other hand, if the population is lost, the weakening would be for thousands of years, if not permanent.

I have returned to the Fuerig Castle with a satisfying feeling.

'Hmm... I also need to check out the Familiar Forest sometimes.'

Familiar Forest was located in the Underworld, filled with monsters that often bonded with magicians or magical races as servants. Familiar Forest, to be precise, was a location that devils used as their place to get Familiars and was controlled by Tiamat, one of the Five Dragon Kings.

She was a terrifying entirety, a powerful one. Dragons were always were strong. If possible, I need to avoid her; someone stronger than the pinnacle Satan-Class isn't someone I wished to meet. Dragons, contrary to devils, had an advantage in their physique.

This means that the High-Class dragon was simultaneously High-Class in energy and body, allowing the dragon to contend against weaker Ultimate-Class that depended solely on energy reserves.

Dragons excelled in magic and in close combat equally, so meeting someone like Tiamat wasn't a good idea, and I even heard some rumors that she had a pretty bad temper, so unless I decided to bribe her with some treasures, it was a big no.

When I read the compendium of familiar monsters, there was one that caught my eye, not in strength or raw power, but rather in potential.

It was called Spitting Thorny Flower. It was pathetically weak and without proper abilities at the start, but it had immense evolutionary potential, as it could digest other corpses of other beings, using them as fertilizer to evolve.

At later stages, when it evolves into higher evolutions, it obtains terrifying defensive abilities and even offensive at later stages.

There was noted that there was one of those somewhere in the territory of the Hindus.

It evolved to something called Flower Demoness, reaching terrifying strength comparable to the Greater Divinity Stage; it even caught the attention of Shiva so much that he decided to make the Flower Demoness his familiar.

That was recorded as a rumor several thousands of years ago.

If it caught the attention of someone like Shiva, a Primordial Divinity Stage God, which is the same as the Being of Law, it must have something in it.

Who knows what strength it reached now.
