Chat Group For Magicians

Chapter 112: Prelude to Battle

Everyone started to unleash their attacks without any breaks. The flying demons were just there for distraction while the other demons were there to break our formation and disperse the weaker magicians and kill them when they are far from the formation. Luckily, no one from us is being killed yet. With all magicians helping each other, we managed to keep the group intact but the onslaught still continues.

"While we are killing the demons, we also need to keep on moving! We won't reach and foil the plan of the demons if we are stalled in here!" Moonlight shouted.

"Then don't hesitate to unleash your power! Don't show mercy! Kill them with all methods that can kill them!" Catmod shouted as he roared a big tiger soul appeared out in the air and caused a shockwave noise that caused the flying demons to petrify and momentarily stop the demonic beasts from proceeding further.

"Go! Go! Go!"

We continue moving forward while killing demons. If we have a ranking on who has killed the most demons in the group, I would rank up Raigaki as the first. Raigaki is just a walking berserker that mowed down the enemies like some sort of paper as he shreds them to pieces. Kind off to his previous behavior and pervert personality that I always see in the chat. To think that this guy is this strong, how strong will he be if he was not restrained?

The second one would be Yaya and her teddy bear. Her teddy bear is very big and can be considered as a giant. If you thought that the bear can be fluffy if hugged, it was not. I just saw it earlier during the battle that the "fur" on the teddy bear of Yaya is all weaponized. They were all sharp needles that any demon that will try to cling to the stuffed toy will immediately die. Also, the teddy bear can easily topple down a lot of demons without much effort. 

The third would be Rena and I. Since Rena is the one doing the freezing magic, I am the one doing the killing by releasing electricity currents to the enemies that were frozen. The rest are all doing alright but they are not doing that much since most of the demons that get past the attacks of Raigaki, Yaya, and Rena are small.

As we reached a swampy area, a snake with rotten features appeared before us and pounced straight to the defenseless magicians. Since I was always on guard due to the demons at the moment, I already saw that coming and immediately made my move.

"Domain of Balmung!"

BANG!

The rotten snake collided to the Domain of Balmung which allowed everyone to be safe.

"Wow! What spell is that Kazuma?! That was amazing!" Godou said as he looked at the snake that failed to destroy the barrier.

"Domain of Balmung?! You cast this spell Kazuma?" Rena looked at me with surprise.

"Stop the inquiries and fight first! The barrier won't last long! Yaya! Try to dispose of it!" Voltaire commanded as he released a bolt of lightning from his hands towards the snake.

"Aye, aye sir!"

With a single swing in her small arms, the teddy bear that she was riding rushed forward and grapple with the snake that tried to wriggle out of the teddy bear's hands. Erina was chanting something behind me and I thought she will be using an area-wide heal, however, I saw Erina raise her hands aiming to the snake with determination in her eyes.

"Hearken! Restrain my enemy and plunge them to the abyss! Chains of Tartarus!"

Massive black chains appeared on the ground and immediately restrained the rotten snake. The chains were too tight that the snake has no chance of escaping by wriggling out.

"Now is the chance! Commence the attack!" Moonlight shouted.

Hearing the command, I joined the attack and conjured a lightning spear which is a revision and my own version of magic out of the electricity from the inheritance of Byakko. When it fully materialized, I immediately throw the spear of lightning towards the rotten snake. Yaya's giant teddy bear already released it since the Chains of Tartarus that Erina used is the one now holding the rotten snake to place so we didn't hold back.

BANG BANG BANG BANG BOOM!

Explosions and different magical colors landed on the rotten snake, causing it to slowly fell and disintegrate into demon shards. Of course, that was not enough to cause celebration because the demons that are still being kept properly have already manage on slipping through the defenses.

"Demonic Beasts are able to break through our defense! Hold your ground and don't die! Kill every single one of them!" Godou shouted as he punched the ground and absorb the soil around there and use it as a hard gauntlet weapon style which after it materialized and harden enough on his hands, he started to punch the intruding demons.

I also keep on throwing fireballs here and there to the demons. After obtaining the power due to the inheritance of Suzaku, my flame ability that can be released in my gloves increased exponentially that the demonic beasts that got hit by my fireballs are immediately roasted to dust without much effort, unlike the time when I just received the gloves. The fire might be able to melt many things but against enemies? They can barely cut it, but now it was like I am just burning some trash. The flames in my shoes also kick up a notch. They literally leave a footprint mark on the target I kick before roasting them with flames.

Still, with us able to wipe out most of the invading demonic beasts, they seemed to be endless and they just keep on coming. Many of my fellow magicians are running out of mana and if not for the mana potions being hand out by support magicians, we would be sitting duck against the enemies. But that doesn't stop us from moving onward even with the number of enemies blocking our way. Yaya is helping a lot in clearing and thinning out the group of demonic beasts but it is not enough to entirely wipe them out. 

"Just keep on the harass and we will be able to push through!" Voltaire said.

The battle was arduous and even Anya who was showing much vigor earlier in the battles is now getting tired. Maple is now also tired swinging and stabbing enemies without stopping. This is not just a battle to win, this is a battle of endurance. The demons are making us exhausted by the time we arrive at their lair or wherever they are holding the ritual that they are doing to corrupt the whole Phantasmal Reality.

"AARGHHH! I am pissed! These demonic beasts are so annoying! I can't stand it anymore!" suddenly, Yaya snapped out.

"Yaya, I permit you to go on a rampage but please be moderate on your damage so that you won't harm us either," Rena said.

"Leave it to me!" Yaya said enthusiastically.

She then bit her thumb and wound it, causing blood to flow out of it. Just like how I did the summoning on Inari-sama, she also did the summoning process but she has a different approach. After creating a magic circle in the air, she made another one on her back and both her sides. After finishing them, she pulls out four blank paper talisman from her pocket and throws them to the magic circles.

"Mr. Teddy, Mr. Teddy, release your hatred and discard your lovable appearance! Go and chase the nightmares away! Teddy transformation! EXECUTE!"

The ground shook and the demonic beasts stopped and looked at the teddy bear of Yaya shaking. I had a bad feeling about it so without further thinking, I activated the Domain of Balmung in 5 layers. It was really in my pure instinct of mine because all the time I felt that way, trouble follows.

And I was not wrong with my instinct, the teddy bear of Yaya expelled a very strong shockwave that the first, second, and third layer of the barrier was destroyed. If I didn't put the barrier, many of us would be injured.

"Damn! Yaya got reckless again!" Godou said as he wipes his sweat.

"I will discipline her later," Rena said as she pushed her eyeglasses with a glint.

Many of the demonic beasts that are being held on the bottom of Yaya's teddy bear were not able to survive while some are able to withstand the damage from the shockwave but they are dying and clinging to their lives. But thanks to that, our way forward is now clear. The demonic beasts killed slowly disintegrated and turned to demonic shards which in turn were collected by the kitten familiars of Catmod.

Yaya, on the other hand, controlled her berserking teddy hear, smashing through the enemies and killing them at rapid rates. The trees blocking our way were also uprooted violently allowing us to progress a lot faster.

Due to this, we have finally arrived at the location of the demons without much trouble. And what we saw is a huge rift between the underworld and this world being connected by the demons gathering around the rift.
