RISE OF EROS

Unfortunately, the voices of the two demigod-level experts were not heard by anyone, as no one responded. They felt sorry, but at the same time, they understood that the expert who saved them must be some hermit who did not want to be disturbed.

They respectfully bowed again to nothingness, showing their gratitude, and left. What they didn't know was that a few kilometers away there was a wrinkled old man, but of great height and build, seeing everything.

If the demigods who had just left saw this old man's arm they would understand that he was the one who saved them. The old man had a pair of rather strange horns on his head and his skin, like the arm they had seen before, was covered in bright red scales.

After watching for a few seconds, the old man sighed and his skin returned to normal. The red scales disappeared and his claws turned into normal arms and hands.

"I hope this is not a calamity," the old man said, and suddenly, behind him, a crack opened in the air like the one he used to attack the abyssal, only a little bigger.

The old man turned around and entered the crack. It disappeared seconds after the old man entered and no one noticed the old man's arrival or departure. There was no one who knew who he was.

On the other hand, the other fights against the humanoid's abysmal fugitive were simpler. It was true that the abysmal who was defeated by the strange old man was one of the strongest, but it was also true that, among the pursuing demigods, the two who followed him were the weakest.

For this reason, the other experts had no problem eliminating the other abysmals. Although it is said that they had no problems, this refers to the fact that they were able to suppress and kill them without suffering many injuries, but they did not emerge unscathed.

Not to mention that several cities in different countries suffered damage of different dimensions. Fortunately, the damage to the cities was not extreme.

While some buildings were damaged and some people were injured, there were no deaths and compared to what could have happened, if these abysmals ran amok in the city, not much had really happened.

The point was that the escaped abysmals had been eliminated and the continent had not suffered considerable damage, so everything turned out well. Meanwhile, on the lost continent, things were beginning to escalate.

The abysmal humanoids were not stupid, so they did not attack the camp that the joint army had set up. They knew that although there were no structures such as walls and fortresses, this camp would not be easy to destroy.

Launching an attack against it was the worst decision they could make, so they preferred to wait. The abysmals knew that the joint army could not be here for long, so they would not take a wait-and-see approach.

The abysmals were experts in military strategy, so instead of attacking a camp with strong defenses, it was better to wait for this army to move and ambush them along the way.

The leaders of the joint army also had the same idea. These were men and women who had lived for many years and had experiences like no one else on the continent, so it was easy for them to deduce the plan of the abysmals.

While they were able to deduce it, that doesn't mean they could avoid it. What the abysmals believed was true, this joint army could not be here for long, since they are the most elite forces in each country and cannot be away for long.

Although countries would not send all their warriors to the point of being unprotected, it was a fact that they were short of personnel, especially experts, which is why this war had to end soon.

Understanding this, the leaders of the joint army decided to move the next day, to enter the lost continent. They knew they would be ambushed, but they could only jump into the trap and see what the abysmals had prepared.

Time passed quickly and the next day arrived. The joint army as they had planned began to mobilize. The camp was abandoned and no one was left behind, as dividing the army was a stupid move.

Although the army had a large number of people, they did not move slowly, because they were all experts, so their steps were fast and light. In a short time, they had traveled several kilometers and none of them let their guard down.

When they had advanced for a couple of hours, they reached a rocky mountain. The army leaders immediately gave the order to stop and this made everyone tense.

They knew that if the leaders asked them to stop, it was because there was something that worried them, so they all extended their auras to inspect the terrain, but they couldn't find anything, and this surprised them.

What they didn't know was that their auras were not powerful enough to witness the enemy. However, the leaders of the army were different, they were among the most powerful demigods on the continent, so they were able to notice what was hidden underground.

After a few seconds, the dwarf demigod shouted, "Be careful, they are underground!" With these words everyone took out their weapons and prepared for battle and in seconds, columns of black flesh several meters wide appeared from the underground.

They were very similar to the Yellow Desert earthworms but were black in color and much larger. These monsters had no eyes, but their mouths were massive and filled with sharp teeth.

Several experts were swallowed by these creatures. Some were only injured, but most were fine. After the initial surprise, the army recomposed its ranks and began to counterattack.

However, this was not the only thing the abysmals had prepared. From all angles, different black beasts with red eyes and sharp limbs appeared.

Everyone was so focused on the black earthworms that you didn't notice them, at least not the minor experts. Suddenly another shout was heard, this was the demigod devil, one of the leaders of the army, "They surrounded us, prepare to defend yourself from all angles!"

Although the leaders of this army knew that the abysmal humanoids were very intelligent, they did not expect such a well-structured strategy. Even so, they did not panic, because they knew that this army of abysmals could not stop them.

Unfortunately, they still underestimated the abysmals. The number of beasts that continued to appear was insane. The Abysmals had bet everything on this one battle and that is why the 3 million non-rational Abysmals were used in this battle.

The joint army was taken by surprise and before long the deaths began to accumulate. It is true that, in individual strength, any of the members of the joint army had the ability to eliminate these abysmals, but when talking about numbers things change.

These abysmals were not rational. They moved by instinct to war, very similar to animals in nature, for this reason, they were complex opponents during a large-scale battle.

The abysmals did not have to think, moreover, they were not afraid of death, so they only attacked the closest opponent until they overwhelmed him with numbers. Although their numbers were not overwhelming enough to eliminate the entire army, they did manage to eliminate a large part of it.

When everyone was relaxing, as it seemed like they would finish dealing with the beast-type abysmals, suddenly a strong pressure fell on everyone. In the sky, 30 dark figures with red eyes and claws on their hands appeared.

They were all demigods level and looked powerful and intimidating. The weakest in the army immediately felt helpless, since these figures were very powerful, but when their wills were about to be overthrown, a powerful force counteracted that of the abysmals.

This time it was the abysmals' turn to be surprised because these auras were only 10, but somehow they felt more powerful than theirs. They were the 10 leaders of the joint army.

While it is true that unlike 1,000 years ago when the abysmals first appeared, today's experts and demigods are fewer in numbers and even weaker, that does not mean that exceptions do not exist.

These 10 are not weak people, in fact, they are the cream of the crop among demigods. Furthermore, these abysmal humanoids, although powerful, were not on the level of their counterparts 1,000 years ago.

Seeing and feeling the strength of these men and women, the abysmals regretted not having gone with Gusttat. Now they understood that they were not strong enough to face this battle, but still, they did not beg, nor did they give up.

Decisively the abysmal humanoids launched the attack. All the survivors of the joint army immediately retreated, as it was a battle in which they could not participate and if they stayed, they were only seeking death.

Even though the Abysmals outnumbered them 3 to 1, the army leaders did not seem to be losing. They dodged and blocked all the abysmals' attacks as if they were air and that angered the abysmals.

However, no matter how much rage they had, nor how much force they used, in the end, they were not rivals and when the leaders stopped playing, they unleashed all their power, completely destroying the abysmal humanoids.
