But before they even looked at to find so response to the possible lack of what was supposed to be a weakness.
I paid no attention to them and looked at the spells that followed the path that my crystal spear passed before.
The spells that followed behind my spear, I assud, would have tracking runes built in, as they didn’t know exactly where it was going to hit, when I cast it. I must say, I expected nothing less from mages over five tamorphoses.
Bamm! Bang Bomm! crack
With almost two seconds delay, they began to impact. They did not emit the dull sounds they made when they hit the barrier, like my crystal spear, which did not seem to do the slightest damage.
They were clear impact sounds that seed to really affect those barriers that was a three-in-one. The cracks began to form, and since not all mages were the sa; so spells began to arrive later, but with the first three impacts that caused a rupture, they managed to lock the weak point during the ti it took to repair.
¡CRACK!¡TINK! !SHATTER!
Imdiately the hits from different elental magics kept impacting, and even before they all hit on the eighth impact, like sound of shattering shrieking glass, the barrier shattered as if you stung a colossal bubble, dropping small fragnts that fell apart and beca motes of mana before even touching the ground.
"....." (humans)
"....." (demons)
Silence from both sides pervaded the place. The barriers used for the war were difficult to break quickly, unless they invaded by making small breaks and reached the center of the formation to undo it, it was almost impossible to break it quickly from the outside.
Until now, breaking barriers without affecting their core only occurred when defenses were deficient, or when powerful mages and siege weapons, after many hits to the barriers, could finally break them.
This was a barrier that even magic cannons would have difficulty breaking. They were military grade barriers for a prolonged war, they should not be easily broken, especially by so ordinary mages.
Everyone smart enough to understand this drew a blank, and those who didn’t were only impressed with the unexpectedness of the situation.
"Attack, don’t hold back! Team Cold Steel Rhino, go ahead, make your way to the gate! Team Ducks Reapers, imdiately attack the siege teams!"
The silence was broken by the general at my side. giving orders, quickly, Those nas sounded very good, and I noticed at once that among the many groups of squires one particularly formidable and strong one ca forward.
The aura they emitted was powerful, and I would say they were all at least 8 tamorphoses. Their equipnt also looked heavy and wrecking, as if each one was a wrecking ball.
Each one began to accelerate and have a montum that seed to shatter everything in its path, with those shields that seed to have a triangular tip like a rhino’s horn.
As I thought at the ti, without even hesitating, they crashed against the door and even against the walls, causing a roar that shook the place. I was also impressed to see how several shadows, which were especially agile, climbed on the walls and seed to start taking control of the ballistas before they used them.
After that, the general began to advance, followed by everyone. The barrier was the biggest obstacle, now, in this world of magic, it was as if they had basically been left totally vulnerable.
well now i would stay close to this captain general, and do my part, but it makes wonder what i was doing watching uncomprehendingly, the barrier breaking. being myself the author, and by that i ant the real .
’hey wake up it’s ti to run’.
*****
’Fuck, this is no ti for that, it’s ti to run.’
I finally reacted, I had been a bit distracted by the barrier breaking, luckily I was already as close as possible to the back entrance of this battle front. It was ti to flee, now it was a hunt for humans against demons, and I was a demon at the mont.
I had to make sure I made it to the rift. After all, that was my goal in doing all this.
Luckily, everything behind in front of was forest, leaving aside the main road, which was narrow and the size of a street where thods of transporting supplies ca and went, as well as reinforcents.
After all, this terrain was not made for formations or fights between armies. For the demon side, it was more convenient, if they couldn’t cross in numbers, in case this front fell.
But it is more common that, when that happens, the number of defenders was so few that it would affect more the enemy.
However, with the sudden chaos that even the one in charge could not handle, all the rcenaries who did this for money began to run again, as well as so of the weaker-willed soldiers, encouraging those who hesitated.
For a mont, I thought the general was going to die fighting for the front, since when I saw him before, he looked like that kind of guy, but....
Swoosh!!
Before I even realized it, I was running away with what looked like an elite squadron on their mounts, which were so kind of hybrid horse with scales from so reptile. They were even faster than before.
I couldn’t even catch up to them with my top speed, but I wasn’t going the main way. In fact, I decided, even though I had more obstacles, to go through the forest.
swooosshh!
Excellent decision, because shortly after that happened, a fast squadron of humans riding sothing resembling a velociraptor was behind, and they were as fast as scaled horses.
When I saw how fast they were, I once again regretted that Seraphina hadn’t chosen a species I could at least use as a mount.
’I swear I’ll find another egg and create a damn Zorynth dragon, or Velkuris... Oh! I heard the soul Roc could turn intangible and they’re fast, they’d be great too.’
After making the decision to get a good mount as soon as I could, I started to run, as my life depended on it. Then I rembered all the advantages that my platinum ticket would bring and went on with more desire.
..
.
I ran at my top speed for about two hours. It was intricate and difficult terrain, and I made sure to check it out with my doppelganger, which was now at the centre of maximum strength on that side.
I was confident that I could escape as long as I didn’t run into a group of humans with nine tamorphosis. I had also cast so dark and light spells to conceal myself in order to be as inconspicuous as possible.
Since I had more than three tis my mana currently, it was easier for to maintain them, even though my body seed to be wearing out from the resonance.
But I also felt how my high vitality helped hold my own, and having a better physical recovery than the weight of carrying two resonances was a perfect balance.
But if I got hurt too much and needed vitality for that, it would start to affect more than would be helpful. Even though the resonance gives more vitality to begin with, I feel it’s contradictory, but that’s the way the skills are.
Maybe what was consuming the resonance wasn’t even vitality or anything like that, but rather sothing different, that no existing mory of mine, can explain, it’s not sothing that can be easily explained, considering the history of this world, if it was easy to explain my alternate self would know.
..

Finally, I reached the beginning of what looked like the mountain range. I could already see the rift more than clearly and realized that indeed, even without that incident, war was inevitable.
In this age of the gods these two kingdoms, and even the entire continent, were unlucky, having their respective rifts so close to each other.
Stop using active resonance and I approached what, in the place of the humans, would be the last stronghold of the demons before war ca to their world, which would already be a loss in itself, taking them out of the ultimate treasure of each age of the gods of this world.
But that’s none of my business. as far as I know, it’s inevitable and I’m just trying to speed things up.

"Na"
"Lothrek"
"Affiliation"
"Khaemdras Warriors, Squad 7."
"Reason for being here."
There I was, passing the check before entering the fortress, which was built between three mountain ranges that faced the rift, after waiting in a line of those entering. Demons were not irrational beings, thirsty for blood and war.
To , demons were almost the sa as humans, with a slightly different culture and structure, and you could see how, like humans, they had a check in and check out.
Although they should have known that we were all fleeing because the Humans had defeated a battle front, they kept order as much as they could, although they could feel the agitation in the air, but without panic.
Everyone was doing their job and, even in this ergency situation, they were controlling one by one the demons who wanted to retreat and not continue the war, which now seed lost. But I was already prepared for this.
"I want to withdraw from the war."
"show your ID, and activate it."
"...."
It seems he was not as prepared as I thought, what he said caught off guard, as I did not understand what he was referring to.
