Now all General Level Monsters were being occupied; the primary fight was between the two sides’ soldiers. Slowly, corpses of goblinoids were gathering faster than devils, thanks to devils being individually stronger and geared in the best armor.
Fortunately, they didn’t manage to breach the even first defensive wall. Alas, slowly, they would, with wave tactics, destroy several defense layers.
One has to admit that the goblinoids were fighting with ferocity, not seen in devils or many races. Especially the more aggressive species like orcs and bugbears were comparable to the Asgardian Berserkers in terms of ferocity and brutality.
Their physical prowess was also superior to that of most devils, even if they were of the same Class.
“Restart the Anti-Matter Magicule Canon Batteries and start focusing the fire on the back lines of the horde.”
Commanded General Borke Zagan as he looked around and ordered to use Anti-Matter Magicule Canon Batteries once again, as currently, due to close combat engagement, they stopped firing them. But due to possible wave attacks, General Borke wanted to prevent it.
“General, we have detected those two missing General Level Monsters.”
Reported General’s adjutant.
“Damm… how far are reinforcements?”
Asked General Borke Zagan.
“Probably one or two teleportations.”
Reported adjutant.
“I will personally take one of them… Amyke will also take one of them, perhaps.”
Said General Borke as he spread his wings and went to fight.
When he flew high in the air, two General Level monsters appeared. They were Orc Shamans who were proficient in some kind of elemental magic or spirit magic or whatever.
One of those orc shamans went directly at General Borke Zagan and started casting spells at him, which he dodged relatively easily. Another Orc Shaman went to attack Venelana, that was fighting the Eldritch Giant and attacked her with his spells.
“Dammed creature!”
Shouted Venelana in anger as she dodged attacks from Eldritch Giant, and at the same time, she fired orbs created from Power of Destruction at the Orc Shaman that controlled several nearest bugbears to use them as a wall.
Suddenly, as they were all fighting, a portal opened high above, and a man in dark armor appeared with his long crimson, silver hair reaching his back as he gripped the scythe in his right hand.

MC POV
As I appeared high on the battlefield, I looked at what had happened below me. Fortunately, as I observed the situation, my forces were steadily holding their ground, if not having an advantage in the fight.
Then I started casting the spell of Strategic-Tier called Hell Flame. It was based on the Clan Trait of Phenex House; though it didn’t have its properties, its darkness enlightenment was the only one it had.
Soon enough, massive amounts of dark red flames were conjured as I wawed my scythe that also acted as a mystic code, and the sea of flames was set free on hundreds of thousands of goblinoids below me.
As I controlled the spell not to cause any kind of damage to my troops, tens of thousands of goblinoids were burned to ash, and even more, were injured by the terrifying heat radiated from the Hell Flame.
It wasn’t a Strategic-Tier spell for nothing. Fortunately, my soldiers, thanks to their enchanted armor, were protected from the heat.
Then I flew directly to Venelana and started firing Dark Light spears at the Orc Shaman, that was barely dodging them, but after several seconds, his speed slowed down, and my attacks were already injuring him.
I spread my eight pairs of devil wings and opened several Dark Light portals, from which chains of Dark Light flew out and coiled around the Orc Shaman like a snake until one of my Dark Light spears pierced his skull, killing him on the spot.
I quickly stored the corpse of the Orc Shaman in my dimensional storage, as it would be a great source for my Devour Clan Trait, and flew to Venelana, who was fighting against the Eldritch Giant.
‘Scan.’
I commanded Architect in my head.
[Level: General
Magical Power: 250
Strength: 289
Agility: 60
Vitality: 236]
I looked at the scan and was mildly surprised; this Eldritch Giant was pretty strong. In terms of physical state and energy reserves, it was far superior to Venelana or mine. The only downside was its speed, as it was rather slow, but it might be unquestioned in everything else.
Compared to intellect or mastery over arts, it was as low as or even lower than the average soldier in Underworld. From what I saw, Venelana managed to injure it with her Power of Destruction; unfortunately, not enough to kill this creature.
I was almost drooling when I thought about using Devour on the corpse of such a strong creature.
The gains from it would be enormous.
I looked at Venelana, who noticed my gaze and nodded, to which I started casting tens of spells, mainly those with high destructive capabilities, such as Dragon Lightning, Thunder Death Lightning of Tactical-Tier or even Combat-Tier such as countless Magic Missles were being created around me, as all of them shot at the Eldritch Giant.
Unfortunately, for my spells, they weren’t enough to break through the terrifying magical defense of Eldritch Giant, but that wasn’t even my main aim.
Thanks to my distractions, Venelana could condense a large amount of Power of Destruction in several orbs and attack Eldritch Giant when its defense was regeneration, causing him many injuries.
“I will try to immobilize it with Chains of Dark Light while you will gather as much as possible of Power of Destruction to break the magical defense so that we could kill it.”
Eldritch Giants were a pain in the ass of any kind of magician. Their arcanic defense regenerated extremely fast and was very high. So I planned to use Power of Destruction as a catalyst to bring it down, and then I will finish it off with Dark Light spears.
Hopefully, it will work.
