Necromancer Of The Shadows

Chapter 601 Illusia

Two Days Ago, Ashbourne Town...

Illusia was standing on the western wall of Ashbourne Town. Just like the Silverwind and other towns, a giant summoning formation was covering the entire town and was glowing in deep red light. (Remember chap- 586)

All the people of the town were already dead and the space barrier around the town was becoming weak with each passing second.

Swish!

Suddenly, the summoning formation released a bright light and the bodies of the people who were inside the town disappeared. The moment all the bodies disappeared, the space barrier around the town became incredibly weak and Demons started to appear all over the town.

In the western part of the town where Illusia was, A+ rank Demons similar to her rank were appearing one after another.

In the northern part of the town where Xavier was, S rank demons were appearing.

Soon the formation stopped shining and a total of Five S rank demons, Eighty A+ rank demons, one thousand A rank demons and fifteen thousand B+ rank demons appeared in the town.

Xavier smiled widely seeing the demons and used the triangular shaped token that was in his hand to give order to all the demons. After receiving Xavier's command, all the demons started to gather in the northern part of the town.

But unlike S rank, A rank and B+ rank demons who started to move towards the Northern part of the city immediately, all the A+ rank Demons didn't move immediately.

Seeing the A+ rank demons didn't move immediately, Illusia smiled inwardly and used the token that was in her hand.

She poured her mana into the token and just as she poured her mana into the token, a red rune that she engraved on the token using the monster's blood lit up slightly and she ordered all the Demons to move along with the other demons.

Only after receiving Illusia's command did all the A+ Demons start to move towards Xavier.

'It seems Master was right and it won't be difficult for me to handle this situation' Illusia thought inwardly while looking at the token that was in her hand and followed after the demons, going towards the northern side of the town.

Although A+ rank Demons moved a few seconds later than other Demons, no one found anything strange about it.

Soon all the demons that were summoned inside Ashbourne Town gathered in the northern part of the town and Xavier ordered them to move in the direction of Aquaville City.

Aside from demons, an army of around seven hundred thousand monsters was also moving towards the Aquaville City.

Xavier was in the front of the Demon army along with the five S rank Demons. Meanwhile, Illusia and the two other hunters of the dark guild who were A rank and B+ rank were at the rear end of the Monster Army.

'Now is my best chance,' Illusia thought and glanced at the A and B+ rank hunters of the dark guild who were moving beside her.

She slowed down a little and let both of them move a little ahead of her. Just as both of them moved ahead of her, a sword appeared in her hand.

Her eyes glowed and she created an illusion around them. Because the spiritual power of both of them was below Illusia's, they did not notice anything strange.

After making them fall in an illusion, Illusia appeared behind them and before they could react, she beheaded them with a single slash of her sword.

After killing them she immediately took the triangular shaped token they had and put away their bodies inside her storage ring.

After putting away their bodies, she quickly used another of her illusion skills and created fake images of the A and B+ rank hunters whom she just killed.

If anyone looked at the rear end of the army from a distance, no one would be able to guess that both of the hunters who were around Illusia were fake.

After confirming that no one had noticed her treacherous act, Illusia took out a bottle of blood from her storage ring and engraved the same rune on the two tokens that she had engraved onto her token.

Just as she engraved the Rune on the tokens, Illusia felt now other than A+ rank demons, she could give orders to A and B+ rank Demons as well.

Now other than five S rank Demons, the entire Demon army was under her control.

'Now I can end this game anytime I want,' Illusia thought and smiled coldly looking at the back of Xavier who was rushing towards Aquaville City with a wide smile on his face.

Around ten hours later, the army of Demons and Monsters was just a few kilometres away from Aquaville City.

Even from the distance, Xavier could see hunters standing in front of city walls holding their weapons.

Other than Morgana (The principal of Arcanum Academy), two more S rank hunters were standing in the lead of the hunter army.

All the hunters had tense looks on their faces after seeing the large army of Demons and Monsters. Although the monsters and demons were still far away, all of them could feel the auras of many high rank monsters.

"Just what kind of bullshit is this?" Morgana muttered in a shocked voice looking at the army of Demons.

The pressure that the army of Demons was giving her was several times higher than the pressure that the army of seven hundred thousand monsters was giving.

"It's time to finish this act," Illusia muttered after noticing the hunters. "With the help of the hunters and the Demons that I can control, there shouldn't be any problem in taking care of all of them,"

Illusia poured her mana into the three tokens she had and the Rune she had engraved on them using the blood lit up.

After the Runes lit up, she sent a command to B+ rank, A rank and A+ rank demons at the same time.

Xavier was laughing inwardly after noticing the hunters standing in front of the city walls.

"These ignorant fools think they can fight against me with their pitiful strength," He said while laughing and was about to give orders to the Demons and Monsters to start their attacks when something unexpected happened.

ROAR! ROAR! - - -

Suddenly, painful roars of the monsters filled the surroundings and Xavier felt his connection with The B+ rank, A rank and A+ rank demons was completely cut off.

He quickly turned around to look at the army of Demons, and the moment he turned around, he saw the worst nightmare of his life.

Other than S rank, all the other demons were slaughtering the monsters. There were one thousand A rank, eighty A+ rank and fifteen thousand B+ rank demons who suddenly started attacking the monsters.

Although the numbers of the monsters were very high, their ranks were very low when compared to the Demons.

In the monster army, there was just one S rank monster and Twnety Seven A and A+ rank monsters.

In front of the Demon army that was made of hundreds of high ranking Demons, the monster army was completely useless.

The S rank monster of the monster army was killed the moment Demons started attacking because all the A+ rank Demons launched their attack on it at the same time.

After killing the S rank monster, the demons immediately targeted other high ranking monsters so most of the monsters who were at A and A+ rank were also dead.

"What... What the hell is going on?" Xavier looked at the scene in front of him with a dazed look on his face not understanding what was happening.

Morgana and the other hunters who were in despair after seeing such a large army were also shocked. Just now they were thinking how they were going to face such a large army but in just a few seconds, the situation took a complete U-turn.

"What should we do?" An A+ rank hunter who was standing beside Morgana asked in an uncertain voice when he saw what was happening in front of him.

Morgana stayed silent hearing the hunter because she was also confused and didn't know what should she do.

"Morgana, attack along with the hunters. This is our best chance to kill all the monsters." While everyone were in utter shock because of the strange situation, a loud voice rang out throughout the battlefield.

Morgana, Xavier and the other hunters looked in the direction where the voice came from and all of them were shocked when they saw the person who just shouted.

"Layla?"(Illusia's name before her death) Because Layla was an A+ rank hunter and the guild master of a gold rank guild, Morgana immediately recognized her when she saw her.

Seeing Layla was at the back of the monster army and no Demon was attacking her, Morgana came to the conclusion that whatever was happening was related to her.

'I don't know what she did but this is our best chance to deal with these monsters' Morgana thought and ordered the hunters to launch their attacks as well.

All the hunters also started to launch their attacks after receiving Morgana's order. Mana cannons that were on the city walls lit up and Xavier and the other five S rank Demons felt a sense of impending doom.

Xavier wanted to ask Layla why she was doing this and how she was able to control the demons, but before he could ask anything, he noticed the hunters also started their attack.

"Damn it," Even though there were five S rank Demons besides Xavier, they were all helpless because all eighty A+ rank demons were attacking them at the same time.

The five S rank demons didn't even have time to save themselves so Xavier knew they wouldn't be able to help him.

When Xavier saw the hunters were preparing the mana cannons, he threw a hateful glance towards Layla who was standing at the back of the monster army and escaped from there using an escape scroll.

After Xavier escaped, the fight lasted for two more hours.

In those two hours, the demons and hunters killed all the remaining monsters. The five S rank demons were also killed by the combined efforts of the hunters and demons.

During the entire fight, only a few B+ rank and three A rank demons lost their life. All the hunters were able to stay alive because most of them were attacking from a distance and were simply assisting the demons.

After the fight ended, the entire wilderness outside of the Aquaville City was dyed red in monster blood.

Although no hunter died in this large scale battle, Morgana and the other hunters didn't celebrate immediately after the fight ended and looked at Illuisa who was standing some distance away from them with a smile on her face.
