Chapter 230: Battle Against Black Magic
He swung his sword and his blow cut the serpentine beast in half in front of him, even as the pouring rain cut him in half.
"PAT!!!"
The monster\'s body, cut in half, collapsed on dozens of monsters large and small, and dozens of screams began to rise towards the black clouds in the sky.
The sudden and unbelievably sudden start of the battle worried everyone, but at least they managed not to drive any of the monsters out of their positions, even though monsters were still coming out of the passage.
Thousands of monsters had already managed to get out of the passage. James inwardly wondered if he could lock this portal if he used his destruction ability to its full extent, just like he had somehow managed to do before.
He really didn\'t have any answer for that.
The gate was absolutely MASSIVE in every sense of the word... in every way that could be described.
That meant that James could only fight at the moment.
He realised that all the monsters were slowly but surely beginning to overwhelm the fighting imperial army and the Asgardian warriors. If things continued to progress like this, it didn\'t seem like it would be long before everyone was dead and gone.
That\'s why he reached out and patted his daughter\'s head in the form of a dragon sitting on his head and then said, \'Do your thing, sweetheart.\'
Although the little girl Miracle only wanted to be with him, James knew that he would be the most help out of Ruby at the moment.
His daughter Miracle could not be harmed, it was impossible to harm her body on these floors, the only problem was the little girl\'s energy and she would probably be exhausted after the attack she was about to make.
When the little girl Miracle started to take off, Ruby, who was sitting on her head, continued to hold on to her as if she realised what was happening, and soon afterwards James\' order was carried out:
The sound of the female Supreme Dragon Miracle gasping for air suddenly filled the ears.
"SSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"
Miracle\'s throat, the little girl in dragon form, was literally glowing with bright white and bright black colours, and light began to shine out from the area where she was.
The battle seemed to stop for a few seconds after this sound and bright light, and a smile formed on the faces of the imperial soldiers and Asgardian warriors around.
And then the expected happened:
"KRAAA-THOOOOM!!!"
This flame, combined with the colours white and black, suddenly began to descend to the earth. This flame cloud, which continued continuously and did not stop even for a second, was able to destroy hundreds of monsters in just seconds.
"CRA-KA-BOOM!!!"
Suddenly, as if there had been a triggering explosion, the sounds were heard all over the earth and everyone had to cover their ears.
Explosions began to occur one after the other and the earth literally began to shake. James now knew that his own daughter could not create such a danger, she couldn\'t have such energy. This meant that Ruby was helping the little girl Miracle and sharing her energy.
Strangely, when the explosions ceased and everything returned to a calm state, images reminiscent of huge ice mountains were revealed.
Hundreds of pieces of huge ice masses, covered with black flames on the inside and covered with white ice on the outside that did not let the black flame out.
James couldn\'t quite understand what she was trying to do, he thought she must be trying to create long-range attacks by standing on so much ice scattered around.
"Calm down James, let your daughter do what she wants," James heard in the back of his mind. It was as if his ancestor Vlad was addressing him.
James shook his head after these words and once again accepted that his ancestor was right.
Eve and the others, who saw that he was not moving and were busy fighting, tried to understand what was happening, but they could not reach any logical answer.
At that very moment, something happened that no one expected. The gate, which was constantly releasing monsters out, waited for almost a minute and then released a monster horde that would exceed a hundred thousand people.
This was what the incredibly intelligent little girl Miracle had expected.
Waiting for the monsters to spread around a little, little girl Miracle suddenly released the ice that she had deliberately scattered around and used to hold back the black flames.
"KRRRAAA-BOOOM!!!"
"THRAA-KA-DOOOOM!!!"
The explosions that had just formed one after the other and had ceased to exist as if they had disappeared, began to show themselves again.
However, this time it was different. This time the explosions were so gigantic that the impact of the explosions alone could literally send tens of thousands of soldiers close to the explosion flying through the airstream and dragging them out of the battlefield.
This was definitely something out of the ordinary, this was just one of the little things that a Supreme Dragon could do at only one-year-old with a little help.
The moment of silence as the explosions ceased again emphasised the scale of the danger in a big way, as the shockwave swallowed up all sound for a moment.
The energy of the gate seemed to begin to diminish.
It was as if the number of monsters inside the passage had been drastically reduced.
After all these events, the little girl Miracle had thrown herself into the inventory as soon as she came to her father\'s side, leaving only Ruby, who continued to sit on James\' head in bird form, and of course James himself.
There were not many friendly troops left near the seal area, that is, very close to the gate, because of the certain impact of the explosion. Only those strong enough to withstand the impact, a few nobles, a few members of Eve and her family, and a few of the higher beings such as Aether, remained.
Nevertheless, although the passage had shrunk, many monsters could still be seen emerging from it.
"FORWARD!!!" James shouted, and with that, the order to attack again came not from the Empress but from James himself.
Eve rushed forward with these words. The fact that this woman, whom James had thought to be a sorceress, had suddenly drawn a sword and rushed to the front lines, of course, made James think a little.
This would cause James to respect Eve more. She really was a brave woman.
Eve had managed to get ahead of him and instantly cut several monsters in half. After each of Eve\'s attacks, the courage and ambition of not only James but every soldier there was increasing.
James may have been someone who earned everyone\'s respect, but Eve herself was the empress. When the Empress was leading the army and advancing from the front, it was not for anyone not to be excited.
Over three thousand or four thousand people were suddenly on the attack.
Because the pass was surrounded and many nobles were leading the army, which had been reduced to 190,000 horsemen, word had suddenly spread over long distances that Eve was attacking.
This meant a full dive.
The battle was actually starting now, and the heat was already on.
James still had an incredible mana capacity and hadn\'t even begun to use his aura.
However, he already had Ruby herself, and with the mana energy she had now, he could create masterpieces.
Because there were so many soldiers around, the use of his destruction ability had completely disappeared. Although he had many abilities he could use, most of them were capable of harming those around him.
That\'s why James thought that he should use an ability that he knew would not waste much energy.
"Star Magic." James suddenly said.
His body began to glow white as if he had been drawn around it with a pencil, and he wondered how well this ability, which he had been working hard to develop for a long time, would work.
He hadn\'t maximised it, of course, he wasn\'t even a beginner, but even at his current level of development, it was obvious that it would be quite useful.
James took a deep breath and activated his dark step ability, slicing and dicing his way through the monsters like a silver bullet piercing the air.
He had already managed to kill Lycan, Spiny Rat, Black Bison and many other monsters, but it seemed that there was no end to these monsters, even though the passage had indeed shrunk slightly.
However, the shrinking passage suddenly began to glow, and James and the others had to start being more careful.
