"Wind Blade Chaos Dance!"

Twenty spells combined, forming a massive, visible cyan storm.

Countless razor-sharp, crescent-shaped Wind Blades materialized from thin air. Like a giant meat grinder, they instantly swept through the Demon Fire Crow Group leading the charge.

Cacophonous caws turned into agonized shrieks.

Black feathers, mixed with bits of flesh and blood, rained down like a black storm.

The once-dense, oppressive black cloud was violently torn open, clearing a vast empty space and revealing the stunned Bat Dragons and Wind Blade Griffins behind it.

The Sky Dragons’ roars tore through the clouds. Like six turquoise arrows, they fearlessly plowed into the swarm of Bat Dragons and Wind Blade Griffins.

Ed urged his Thunderboltous Griffin King forward, transforming into a streak of blue lightning that shot past the flank of a Wind Blade Griffin.

With a flash of his spear, a fountain of blood erupted from the base of the Magical Beast’s wing, and it fell, shrieking as it spiraled downward.

Thirty Griffin Knights followed close behind. Grouped in trios, they formed small combat units and clashed with the enemy.

Talons clashed with talons, sending sparks flying. The Knights’ Long Spears met the fangs of the Magical Beasts with the clang of steel.

A steady stream of Magical Beast corpses fell from the sky. Occasionally, a Knight from Black Stone Territory, along with their mount, would plummet toward the ground like a falling star.

After its initial, overwhelming momentum, the ground charge bogged down into a brief stalemate.

The Demon army was simply too vast. Reinforcements of Ogres and Earth Dragons filled the gaps in the front lines, standing like hard reefs, tenaciously blocking the iron tide of the Black Stone Territory army.

After taking several hits, the Phantom Clones of the Mammoth Giant Elephants and Earth Dragons began to fade before dissipating completely.

"ROAR!"

The Hill Giant, Kado, let out an earth-shattering roar.

His massive form dropped low, his feet sinking deep into the earth.

An invisible force field, heavy as a mountain, erupted outward with him at its center.

Gravity Domain!

Within the Domain’s five-hundred-meter radius, the air instantly seemed to turn viscous.

The Ogres, who had been wildly swinging their Wolf Fang Clubs, suddenly froze. They felt as though a small mountain was crushing them, making it an immense struggle to even lift their arms.

The Earth Dragons, which had been rampaging forward relying on their tough hides, found their limbs giving way. They nearly collapsed, their charge speed dropping to zero in an instant.

Countless Jackal-Wolf Folk and Kobolds fared even worse. The sudden, immense pressure pinned them to the ground, rendering them immobile. Their eyes filled with terror and confusion.

The Black King’s army looked as if it had collectively sunk into a quagmire.

In sharp contrast, the soldiers of the Black Stone Army within the Domain felt a power from the very earth surging into their bodies.

Their warhorses’ strides grew lighter yet more powerful, and every slash and thrust from the Knights landed with devastating force.

The pressure on them vanished, while their speed surged.

The charging line, which had begun to stagnate, once again erupted with destructive momentum.

The Knights of the Moonlight Knight Order and Thunder Dragon Knight Order formed the very tip of the spear, punching through the now-sluggish enemy ranks without resistance.

Chaos erupted wherever their lances pointed. The stiff-limbed Ogres became perfect living targets, their bodies pierced by one lance after another. Their massive forms collapsed, defiant even in death.

The Demons fortunate enough to be on the edge of the Gravity Domain fled as if escaping a plague, scrambling and crawling to get away. They would rather charge other parts of the Black Stone Army’s formation than dare approach the Hill Giant Kado in the slightest.
