(Now, army of demons, let’s start our battle…) (Druid Oz)

Druid Oz gathered a huge amount of condensed mana for his staff. Druid Oz had been planning to be the one to open the battle since the beginning, but before he could suggest it towards the prime minister, Allomere, it seems that the sharp prime minister had realized it and had been taking it into account since the beginning.

(I guess I shouldn’t be surprised?) (Druid Oz)

“Now, let’s remove those dangerous-looking magicians of yours, shall we? [Man-Eating Trees, Nubian]” (Druid Oz)

An earthquake suddenly occurred, but it didn’t bother the soldiers of the Galhala kingdom’s soldiers since they knew it’s the effect of the general princess’s spell. But not just the Galhala kingdom’s soldiers, the earthquake didn’t stop and hesitate the march of the demons as well.

(Well, that’s a piece of good news) (Druid Oz)

The demon magicians wore hooded robes, and their faces are covered with a mask. There are about 5,000 magicians at the demon’s ranks, and that’s the place where Druid Oz summoned his man-eating trees.

The demon magicians quickly realized the surging nature mana underneath the ground, and all of them jumped and attempted to run from the place unlike the demons that attacked the capital before, the demon magicians tried to dodge and evade to prolong their lives.

But of course, it’s futile.

Five 20 meters tall trees emerge from beneath them, each root of the trees is thick and big with spikes all over it while the branches formed a huge mouth together with the other branches. Just like a ghost tree appearing from a horror movie, the terrifying tree captured and ate all of the demons around it.

Unlike the death mana, the demonic mana is the natural enemy of nature mana. Even though there are lots of people that hold the wrong concept of nature that brings life is the enemy of death, but in fact, death and nature’s life are two processes in the same cycle named life.

Since the death of a tree, the death of an animal, or the death of an insect, it will become nutrient towards the ground, and with the miracle of nature, it became another life. But different from demonic mana, demonic mana is the incarnation of chaos and destruction which is the direct opposite of nature mana.

As demonic mana is the great enemy of nature mana, the man-eating trees madly attacked the numerous presence that harboring a great amount of demonic mana which is their biggest enemies.

As the appearance of the huge man-eating trees caught the demon magicians off-guarded, the man-eating trees didn’t let their chances leave and take and consume as much as demon magicians they could eat and kill.

And since the man-eating trees have the same strength in both defense and attack, they are the biggest threat for the demon magicians. Not to mention that they blocked the spells the demon magicians unleashed towards them, most of them got killed right when they just gathered the demonic mana on their staff.

Since the man-eating trees kill those who are under their zone to attack and points that hold the greatest amount of demonic mana, the demon magicians that needed to gather their demonic mana to one point when they chant their spells got killed right before they could unleash their spell.

In just a while, the 1,000 demon magicians already got killed by the man-eating trees that are wreaking havoc in the demon’s ranks.

“As expected of Ren. His attacks are merciless and powerful indeed… Hm?” The prime minister, Allomere suddenly noticed something as he’s praising Druid Oz’s spell.

Support finally appeared after 4,000 of the magicians had died because of the man-eating trees. They are demons with huge built, holding huge weapons, and with explosive power, they destroy the branches of the human-eating trees.

But since it seems that they are the ace of the demonic ranks, their number is just 100. But even so, they’re still having trouble killing the man-eating trees that got bigger every time they devour a demon.

Two of the man-eating trees had got destroyed, but the remaining man-eating trees had now grown to 30 meters tall. Their attacks got even fiercer and powerful, and at the same time, their defense got even stronger.

As Druid Oz’s chuckle at how too overkill the man-eating trees are since they had now killed about 80% of the demon magicians, and he doesn’t even count the other demons that tried to assist the demon magicians.

But as he chuckled, the three huge man-eating trees suddenly got enveloped in a blazing red flame.

The man-eating trees writhed in pain and groans in agony and got burnt into ashes after a while.

“I see… It won’t be that easy, I guess…” (Druid Oz)

“W-What is that? J-Just who killed those trees…?” (Claria)

“It must be their commander. Seems like they brought another monster here,” said the Galhala king with a chuckle.

“Indeed, I guess this is not the time to get overconfident. I guess I’ll open another card in my sleeve. Druid’s Servant command: [Summon]” (Druid Oz)

Following Druid Oz’s words, a huge green magic circle appeared before the east walls.

“Come, my familiars!” (Druid Oz)

All of Druid Oz’s familiars appear from the magic circle.

There are several reasons why Druid Oz is confident in bringing them.

First, his familiars are all powerful magic beasts that could use powerful magic spells. Their role is to support the magicians and bombard the demons with the explosive spells they could chant and reduce the number of the demons, and get ready to face the enemy’s commander.

Second, his familiars won’t get infected and transform into a demon. Unlike the soldiers of the Galhala kingdom that will get infected and transform into a demon if they got even a scratch from the demons, Druid Oz’s familiars are immune to it.

And together with the treants before them, acting as their shields, the safety of his familiars is determined. And since Druid Oz could also unsummon them whenever they’re in grave danger, he has no worries.

After several moments, the demons regained their formation and continue their march towards the Galhala kingdom’s royal capital. Because of the sudden attack from the huge man-eating trees, there are now several holes at their ranks, and there are only about 2,000 magicians left at their ranks.

At that brief moment, both parties stared at each other as the demonic army marched and the Galhala kingdom’s army patiently wait for the perfect time to attack.

But before the demons even entered the attacking range of the range soldiers, the prime minister, Allomere suddenly sounded his absolute command.

“Open fire,” (The prime minister, Allomere)

And just like before, the voice of the prime minister appeared at everyone as if he’s right beside them, making all of the range-type soldiers flustered and immediately launch their attacks towards the demons.

It’s still about 200 meters before the demons entered their attacking range, but following the prime minister’s orders, the soldiers already started firing their attacks towards the demons. And following the order as well, Druid Oz instructed his magic beasts to start launching their spells.

But contrary to the expectation of the soldiers, all of their attacks reached the demons!

“H-How did…”

“H-How could…”

Haering the commotion that started to spread amongst the soldiers, the prime minister, Allomere, once again give out a command, “Continue fire,”

“That is Allomere’s skill. Since he’s very proficient in wind magic, he could boost the strength and range of the archers and magicians or even the boulders thrown by the catapults. I don’t remember the detail that he explained to me, but in short, he’s making this happen by using wind magic. Isn’t he great?” (The Galhala King)

“Grandpa’s amazing!” (Claria)

(I see… So he’s using wind magic and personally boosts the strength of the projectiles unleashed. But he will need to accurately determine the right amount of power the boost the wind magic gives… That’s dope, old owl!) (Druid Oz)

“Well, can’t let him shine alone, aren’t we?” (Druid Oz)

Druid Oz’s mountain gorillas unlocked their limiters and transformed into their huge body. 50 gigantic gorillas that height surpasses 10 meters appeared before the east walls. With their peculiar skill, they summoned huge boulders before them and threw them into the demons.

The flame foxes bombarded the demons with fire magic, the frost lions use ice magic, the wind jade falcons use wind magic, while the direwolves and the ectra pythons waiting to ambush the demons when the melee combat starts.

(It seems like we’ll win this tower defense game’s level) (Druid Oz)
