MMORPG : Ancient WORLD

The creature roared as a space rift appeared inside his chest, ripping the demon apart from the inside out, creating a gaping hole in his chest, and spewing blood and gore from the energy space rift.

As the colossal demon crashed to the ground, Mike's disappointment quickly gave way to a renewed sense of urgency as he sensed an incoming attack.

Mike cursed his luck as he avoided a sonic attack from a demon banshee and started running through the broken building to lose the demons hot on his trail.

Mike had no clue that the second right didn't do what he wanted, but it had saved the life of a heavily injured Royal Guard captain, earning his guild gratitude and favor both from the kingdom and Noble household the captain belonged to, which was the ultimate goal his guild was after.

As Mike sprinted, he activated his wind magic, levitating into the air, boosting his speed even further, his heart pounding as he flew through the broken building avoiding the bombardment of sonic attacks.

As Mike distanced himself from the demon, he could feel the ground trembling beneath his feet, the shockwaves of the ongoing battle reverberating through the air.

Seconds turned to minutes as Mike navigated the chaotic battlefield, seeking refuge from the relentless onslaught, but demon banshees didn't leave him alone, even with him pulling various tricks to get away.

Meanwhile, the situation had taken a dire turn at the grand white Royal palace because the palace barrier, once a formidable defense against the demonic forces, had finally given way under the relentless assault.

The floodgates were opened, the hordes of demons charged toward the grand white royal palace, and the Royal guards who stood ready charged forward valiantly, deploying barriers and clashing head-on with the demonic onslaught.

The clash of swords and spells echoed through the air as the defenders fought bravely to halt the invaders' advance, with each guard standing as a beacon of courage, a symbol of unwavering dedication to their duty and city.

While Mike ran for his life, looking for a safe place to use the third and last space rift scroll, Alex made his way toward the city's core area, knowing the battle would reach its conclusion.

The battle between the three Elemental Rulers lasted only for a few minutes before their elemental domain turned to nothingness, and the place returned to its previous calm.

There was nothing left where the three domains clashed, leaving behind no clue who won and lost.

The army had also arrived at the city moment before the clash ended, and they acted swiftly with the strongest of captains, rushing toward the palace while the majority started slaughtering any demon they could lay their hands on.

Alex watched as the newly arriving captain cleaved through the hoards of demons and slaughtered their way to the palace gates, joining the royal guards in their defense.

Amidst the chaos, the demon fortress, tens of canons raining down destruction, went silent, and a figure appeared above the fortress, the demon commander, Wrathahr, with his presence radiating malevolence, his very aura exuding dread.

The captains, royal guards, and the whole city experienced a shock as they watched a massive crack rip open in space behind the demon commander before slowly taking the form of hundreds of meters high portal.

'The old man damm menace,' Alex thought as he watched a massive crack in space spreading and stabilizing in mere moments.

Alex was sure that both elemental rulers were still alive and watching as the old man opened a portal for the demon commander to escape.

The reason why the two Elemental Rulers were not slaughtering the demons wanding in the city and even letting the old man open a portal for the demons to escape was due to their awareness of the dire consequences.

They understand that if they made a move, the old man would turn the whole city into ruins with every life in it, and engaging directly with him will result in a similar situation.

A grand portal stretched across the sky behind Wrathahr stabilized, and every demon fighting nearby turned their attention toward the portal and instantly started running toward it, abandoning their battles.

"Human, This is just the start," Wrathahr roared as the fortress slowly glided into the portal, vanishing from sight.

Wrathahr's declaration echoed ominously, a promise that sent a chill through the air, with his words carrying a weight of malice and impending doom.

The royal guards threw some attack at the demon commander but were stopped by the invisible barrier, and the last thing they saw was the cold face of the demon with his four goat eyes burning with anger.

The army regiment captains, Royal guards, and every human fighting to defend the city felt rage as they watched the demon running toward the portal to get away once more, and like hell, they would let the demon escape peacefully.

The clash that had momentarily come to a halt started with rage burning in them. Humans started slaughtering demons, making sure that the nearest demon to them couldn't make his way toward the portal.

The demons fought back while thousands of nearby demons successfully entered the portal, thanks to a protective barrier around the portal, disappearing from the battlefield in a matter of moments.

After a few minutes, the portal started to destabilize and quickly collapsed, leaving hundreds of thousands of demons still rampaging in the city to die.

The whole army was in the city, having spread out to various sections, and in the following few minutes, the whole city quickly turned into a bloodbath for the remaining demons.

As the battle raged on, some of the stronger demons were captured and taken as prisoners for information, while others chose the path of suicide, unwilling to face the horrors that awaited them.

It took the army a little over an hour to clean the whole city from every demon, making it the safe haven that it was a few hours ago, but no celebration was being made as only cries of residents lucky enough to stay alive echoed in the streets.

With the immediate threat of demons extinguished, the army swiftly shifted its focus to the critical task of aiding the city's residents and tending to the wounded.

They formed organized teams, working tirelessly to provide those in need with medical care, food, and shelter. Make-shift medical tents were erected across the city, where skilled healers and medics tended to the wounded and ensured that the injured received proper treatment.

Meanwhile, dedicated soldiers and players took on the solemn duty of identifying the fallen city residents and soldiers and placing their bodies in coffins to bury them and give them the respect and honor they deserved.

While the corpses of the demons were gathered into a colossal pile outside the city's walls and set ablaze, giving the resident who lost their loved ones some peace of mind.
