Chapter 2084 Barbatos, the Barbarian King of Bloodshed
-----
As Shadrach and his children were making sure to slay the Miasmic Beasts as they came, the black skies continued to darken and more of these aberrations continued falling from the sky in the form of crystalized meteors.
Shadrach mightily defeated them without resting, his magic and skills evolving with each Skill as he continued feeling stronger. His children cooperated with everything they had, fighting against the endless invasion.
And when things seemed to be finally getting better as he noticed the clouds were slowly turning red instead of black, something started marching towards them.
An army of thousands of Demons coming from h.e.l.l itself, Satan"s Wrathful Barbarian Army!
"What the…?!"
The Old Wyvern Overlord felt shaken as he saw the scene. The bright, red-skinned demons, of enormous size, covered on fur, scales, and horns, and possessing multiple arms continued marching towards them.
The smallest of them was around twenty meters tall, they were not small at all, a race of giant barbarians that dominated the Wrath Layer of h.e.l.l!
"Demons?! Why are there Demons coming here?!"
Shadrach couldn"t help but wonder, as his Aura erupted from his body, his wariness increasing greatly as he released a powerful Domain of Flames, his mind quickly talking to his children through telepathy.
At the same time, the one leading the army of Wrathful Barbarians Demons smiled.
A tall, gray-skinned demon with six muscular arms, and three heads mounted a giant mammoth-like demonic beast.
Each of his arms was holding a different demonic weapon, made out of his own Soul and the bones and blood of his enemies.
Decorating his body there were countless accessories made from the bones and dried tongues and eyes of his victims.
He wore a crown made of skulls on all three of his heads, which glared at the distance.
"We"re here, my horde…" He giggled while talking with his three heads at the same time. "We shall do as our Lord as commanded us, even if he was defeated by that accursed b.u.t.terfly! We will bring him what he wants, no matter what!"
"OOOHHHH!" The hundreds of Demons cheered in unison, their Auras erupting with tremendous power…
Although Satan was defeated by Kireina not so long ago, he had spread his army into three battalions of a thousand demons each. They were not led by mere Demons, however.
Satan had several powerful servants, among his many soldiers, there were a group of powerful, high ranked demons, who often take the t.i.tle of Demon Lords, beings on equal strength to Peak Rank Supreme G.o.ds.
While Demons are more limited in what powers they can develop compared to Genesis Supreme G.o.ds, with their vast array of abilities, spells, skills, magic, and their divine techniques, Demons make up for it with their unique power, Demonic Energy, and also their insanely tough physical bodies.
By devouring the souls of their opponents, they grow stronger over time, cultivating their Demonic Cores, each Rank giving them a new evolution, a new form, and new abilities related with their Demonic Path and Physical Bodies.
The Demons of the Wrath Layer were all physical fighters, there were no magicians in their group, they were all, muscular barbarians proficient at using all sorts of weapons, and with bodies as tough as the hardest metals in the universe.
And among them, there were Satan"s mighty Demon Lords, the gray-skinned, six-armed and three-headed monster that was leading his army of demons was as tall as fifty meters.
And he carried a name given to him by Satan himself, enshrined by the Flames of Wrath and the Blood of his enemies, the Demon was given a demonic baptism as…
"My name is Barbatos, the Barbarian King of Bloodshed!" He proclaimed himself, his Demonic Aura erupting from his body as he glanced at Shadrach from afar. "You… You must be one of the ants that is being controlled by that b.u.t.terfly! Are you not?"
Shadrach glanced at the t.i.tanic demon jump out of his equally gigantic demonic beast ride, landing on the ground barefooted, as he glanced at the t.i.tanic Shadrach standing in front of the Blood Demon Empire"s capital.
"You won"t get through me…" Shadrach said with a brave roar. "My children, defend each gate of the Empire"s Capital, don"t let these b.a.s.t.a.r.ds get in! There"s something here we must guard, the lives of the people and also, something else they desire!"
As he spoke, all his children responded immediately.
"Very well, father!"
"Leave it to me!"
"Are you sure you will be alright?!"
"Father, this is too reckless! There are too many Demons!"
"Are you going to fight their Boss alone?!"
t.i.tus and Abellona were both confident in their strength and their father"s might, quickly accepting his orders without protesting.
However, Eshne and the twins Aine and Adena were different, all three of them were dead worried about his reckless behavior!
He might have been able to revive with Kireina back in Grand Terra and grow much stronger there but, even then, that didn"t mean he was all-powerful.
However, he ignored their screams of concern, he had more pressing matters right now with a demon half his size approaching him, with six enormous weapons and an aura so strong it made his entire body twist and tremble.
Even if he was a sword, on his draconic shape, he could already feel how overwhelmingly powerful this being was…
"Hoh, you"re bold for someone so weak." Laughed the Demon, Barbatos, as he started walking towards him. "My Demons, march! Destroy that city and everything on it! Eat the mortal souls and secure the Abyss Gate Fragment!"
"OOOHHHH!"
The Demons roared mightily, marching towards the city, yet Shadrach stood there in silence, his Aura and Domain expanding further.
"I told you that you shall NOT pa.s.s!"
He hit the ground with his legs as an enormous storm of flames surged from within, fused with his Spirit Flames, Chaos Flames, and Abyss Flames!
TRUUUUMMM…!
The flames quickly erupted, pus.h.i.+ng all the demons trying to breakthrough away! At the same time, the flames quickly started to transform into countless of twenty- to thirty-meter-tall dragons and swords, attacking any demon nearby.
"Don"t look down on me, Demons. I was not the Ruler of the Grand Forest for nothing!" He roared.
"Excellent. Maybe this will not be so boring, as I imagined…" Laughed Barbatos.
