Strongest Superhuman System - Chapter 577

Chapter 577: Kill The Vermin
Raphael had never seen the undead coming towards them before, but from the way he was moving in front of the army, it was obvious that he was the one leading the charge. Was this the new demon lord? Did these bastard demons already summon another one? I knew we should have attacked them before they could do this!

Raphael shouted out for them to continue their retreat, and he turned to another one of the young angels beside him, instructing her to go and give the message for reinforcements to the next barricade. But the fate that befell her was the exact same as the former messenger, and Raphael felt his entire face growing purple from anger as he stared down at the two dead angels below him.

Someone was going to die for this!

Raphael didn’t have any way of contacting the other barricades now that there was some weird force preventing them from leaving, so he was left with no choice but to continue the retreat toward the barricade. He had to find a way to prevent the demons from getting into the barricade, and then he would send out a hawk to the nearest barricade. Raphael could only hope that the sound of their battle and the intensity of the rumbling shaking the earth would somehow alert the closest barricade to what was happening and allow them to bring reinforcements.

Up in the sky and overlooking the retreating angels, Mark raised his hand into the air, calling on all the mages behind him to prepare their magic.

Mark had learned more about dark magic only yesterday, and he was very excited when he realized that dark magic was a direct mirror of light magic. Just as light magic weakened the demons and easily killed them, dark magic weakened the angels and easily killed them. This became one of the major parts of Mark’s plan for this war, and he had just found the perfect way to use it.

Mildred flew forward once Mark raised his hand, then stopped beside him, listening to his order before she went back to the air force filled with dark magic users and pointed them toward the barricade with a fierce look on her face.

“All dark magic users! Take aim at the barricade! On the Lord’s command!”

The magic users all aimed their hands at the barricade, and more than a hundred black magic circles burst to life on their hands, forming a black line of dark light across the sky as they got ready to attack.

Down on the ground, Raphael and all the other soldiers around him noticed this sudden darkness that invaded the sky, and he looked up in shock as he saw that it was from the demons. Wasn’t that dark magic? They were trying to destroy the barricade!

“Wait! Stop the retreat! Stop! Aim at the dark magic users!”

Raphael immediately started to shout to his troops, trying to tell them to stop the retreat and prepare to intercept the dark magic about to be unleashed, but it was no use. The intensity of the retreat had completely destroyed the army’s formation, giving them almost no rational sense of direction or command as they all rushed to try and make it to the barricade! And although the angels closest to Raphael had heard what he said and stopped their movement, those who were too far away didn’t even hear a whisper of it as they continued on their way to the barricade!

Mark’s hand in the air slowly came down just as more than fifty angels reached the barricade, and at that moment, Mildred shouted to the demons!

“Fire!”

“Dark Fire!”

The demons all shouted as one as their magic came to life, pouring out a resplendent wave of dark fire from the magic circle toward the barricade! Raphael quickly told the angels who had stopped their retreat to fire a light magic attack to counter the dark fire, but even with their counter, there was still not enough firepower to completely stop the rush of black flames released by the demons. Raphael could only watch on in shock as the barricade was hit by a massive explosion of darkness!

BOOM!!

The explosion shook the very ground under his feet, and as the dark smoke rose into the sky, Raphael’s eyes widened as he saw white feathers from their deceased comrades slowly falling with the ashes and dust, painting the battlefield in the blood of their brothers. A rage, unlike anything he had ever felt before suddenly overcame Raphael at that moment—a red-hot anger that threatened to make his entire body burst in agitation surged through his heart, and he glared toward the undead flying in front of the army.

This coward!

This fucking coward!

The mere fact that the demons had resorted to such tactics in the first place! The mere fact that they had dared to try and kill the angels using something so underhanded drew righteous fury from Raphael that forced his hand! He didn’t care anymore if the demons outnumbered them, and he didn’t give a fuck if they were going to die here! They were not going down without a fight, and if they killed enough of the demons, then that would just make it easier for the remaining angels to kill the rest of the demons without trouble!

Raphael shouted out to his troops against the background of black fire that had consumed the barricade!

“We are not running! We will stand and fight to the very last man! The demons think their numbers are enough to intimidate us! Show them that they are nothing before the angels! Kill the vermin!”

“Kill the vermin!”

“Kill the vermin!”

“Kill the vermin!”

The chant echoed throughout the ranks of the remaining angels as they all rallied behind their commander, giving themselves a boost in confidence that made them stand against the forces coming toward them! The demon army outnumbered the angels two to one, and the destroyed barricade prevented the angels from being able to retreat and rest, but they didn’t care about any of that! They were going to kill the demons if it was the last thing they did!

The demon cavalry was still moving toward the angels, and it wasn’t long before they were right on top of them!

In a sudden move of slight madness that showed just how good of a commander he was, Raphael began to shout out orders to the army right in the middle of the fight!

“Second flank, face the enemies on the western front! Use nothing but the arrows of light and finish them all off! Third flank, you’re with me! We are going against the enemies in front of us! Everybody charge! Don’t you die without taking at least three demons down with you!”

The demons attacked from both ends, forming a pincer move that would have destroyed the morale of any army, but not the angels. The angels were fueled by sheer hate and an all-encompassing feeling of superiority that made them believe deep in their hearts that even in the middle of such incomprehensible odds stacked against them, they still possessed a slight chance of victory!

The battle raged for a few minutes, the angels holding back the demons using their light shields before using light arrows and spears to destroy as many demons as possible! The demons did not hold back either amidst the madness!
