It has been nearly three days since the beast tide hit, the snow winds beasts tide has shrunk to a hundred thousand beasts. Even so, no one was calm about the future; the roars of three legend rank Abyss demon scared them. But, seeing them trapped in the prison of swords, desperate to get out, did give them confidence.
Abyss Lava demons were still pouring out; Lava lizards, Lava beasts that looked like panthers, also appeared.
With their appearance, the rate at which the Lava slimes poured out had severely decreased.
The good thing was the participation rate had increased massively in these two days. After seeing the riches that people were making by killing, transporting, and selling the demon beasts, more people started participating.
New teams started forming, with each having an attacker, two or three porters, and one or two defenders. Many focused more on attack than defense, but that didn't change the three basic types that were always present in a team.
Attacker, Defender, and Porters.
Some even had ranged attackers in their team. Most such units were made by the Aristocrats. They were the one's trying to get as much benefit as they could from this beast tide. Although they couldn't send their main forces, they had many people in their family that would work for them.
The bad thing was Achelmy pills were running out. Although it might not seem like it, alchemy pills were predominant in wars. They had many varieties; for injuries for stamina, for healing, for clearing the mind, for fatigue, even for sleeping.
The inscription scrolls were running out, the durability of armors was decreasing. The only thing that most had left was the weapons and clothes. They had meat from the killed demon beasts, so they didn't have to worry about food, but everything else was a source of worry.
'Ning'Er, Miyuki, get ready. It is going to attack."
Ning'Er jumped up, hearing her name, "Yes!" She had been waiting for this for three days. Finally, she had a chance to fight.
Miyuki got up, stretching her body, "I am ready!"
'Pull back!' these words rang in everyone's ear.
Nie Li was standing and watching everyone fighting; in his past life, a beast tide like this had destroyed the whole Glory City. But, now the beast tide had a festive atmosphere; some were enjoying the show, while some were trying to make money, others were venting their hate of demon beasts.
He heard Tatsuya's warning and looked towards Du Ze and others; he could see Ziyun fighting at a distance too. People had started retreating after they heard Tatsuya's word. Although some had a reluctant look on their faces, Tatsuya's colossus presence could be felt and seen from here. No one dared to go against his orders.
He also moved towards Du Ze and Lu Piao while retreating.
When he reached them, Du Ze asked him, "do you know why are we retreating?"
Although at first beast tide had become easy as more time passed, stronger demon beasts started coming over.
It became a good training ground; especially with Abyss Demons being unpredictable, it became even more dangerous.
Even so, they were still fighting; because of the benefits, they were getting. Most of them had broken through once, but that was a side benefit; mainly, they were getting the battlefield experience.
If possible, he or others didn't want to retreat just yet.
"Yeah, man! it was just becoming more fun!" Lu Piao shouted happily. He had enough demon beast corpses in the interspacial ring he got from Nie Li. He would smile even in sleep after he gets all the money from them.
Nie Li shook his head, "don't get greedy; if he is ordering a retreat, then something must have happened. He might not be able to maintain his form any longer."
"Oh! that's true!"
They had taken for granted that Tatsuya could maintain his form the way he is. He has been like that for nearly three days. In these three days, they had rested quite a few times, but Tatsuya had been like that for so long without resting. He was also continuously protecting everyone from dying.
They looked at the beasts that were still left, "If he can't hold it, then what are we going to do with those?" Xiao Xue asked. She knew the reason why they were able to handle the beast tide was because of Tatsuya. And they had to fight only a few of them.
If Tatsuya runs out of energy, then it will turn into an all-out war.
Nie Li frowned with worry, "Let's go back and prepare for the all-out war."
Shortly, flocks of people started entering the Glory City. There was a new stir in the beast tide. Black Gold demon beast began appearing in the sight of people. They jumped up and climbed on the swords. Standing at the hilts, they watched people of Glory City retreating.
They were about to jump and attack when a woman floated in front of them. They could move; they were frozen in place.
Miyuki looked at the creatures that were frozen in ice. She noticed the small cracks forming on ice. She knew it wouldn't hold them for long.
A sweet grin appeared on her face, fire rose from her body before it covered her whole body and got bigger. The heat from the fire started spreading in all directions. Even the people retreating could feel the fire on their back.
"What is that?!!"
"I think I saw a girl there!!"
"Yeah, me too!!"
"those demon beasts are so much bigger than the ones we fought till now!!"
"I bet that those are Black Gold!"
Du Ze stared towards the fire, "That was Miyuki? right?"
Xiao Xue nodded with admiration in her eyes, "Yeah! that must be Lady Miyuki's demon spirit!"
Nie Li frowned with confusion; he had seen Miyuki's demon spirit. He was sure that was not it. Was it possible she was like him, practicing a technique that allowed her to fuse with more than one demon spirit?
But, he gave her the Void God Technique, wasn't she practicing that?
Soon, the fire cleared, what appeared in front of their eyes was her, but she looked different, Unlike them, who were majorly affected by their demon spirits when they fused with it. Only partial effects of transformation showed on her.
Her hairs had turned bright red, which flowed like flames. Her clothes had changed. She was wearing a long red skirt that was open from the side, showing her thigh. Her back was bare, only covered by her long hair. A loose wide red ribbon floated above her neck, going to the front, in a crisscrossed manner, covered her breasts, and going lower was wrapped around her waist, acting as a belt.
Lu Piao looked at her and started drooling before Xiao Xue punched him in the stomach.
He bent down, holding his stomach, "Owww...oww... oww!!!"
Others were not any better. Many people, men or women had stopped retreated and were admiring her beauty.
Miyuki looked at her clothing with shame; she didn't think that most of her clothes would burn. Her whole face turned red, but no one could tell because of the fire burning around her.
She looked at the demon beasts with anger as more and more fire appeared; it started concentrating at the top of her head. It started looking like a small swirling storm, getting bigger every second.
Yu Yan looked at the scene Miyuki was creating with worry, "She is going to destroy all those demon beasts in one go."
Tatsuya sighed, 'It seems she is taking out her embarrassment on those demon beasts.'
Yu Yan's mouth twitched as she looked at tens of meters high swirling fire, "that is not how kids should act when they are embarrassed."
She rubbed her head in worry, "shouldn't you stop her?"
'I want to, but I have a feeling if I say anything, it will only make her more embarrassed.'
"I'll go then." with that Yu Yan, flew to where Miyuki was. As she got closer, the fire covered her, but she was Fire Spiritual God; this was nothing to her.
"Miyuki, you will destroy all the material if you attack the demon beasts with that!!" Yu Yan shouted.
Miyuki just closed her eyes tightly; the speed at which the firestorm was growing also increased.
Yu Yan reached in front of her, her fire covered Miyuki forming a blanket of fire, "Miyuki, stop or you will destroy all of Tatsuya's effort." She was sure Miyuki would stop after hearing that. She knew Miyuki was unhappy that Tatsuya had to stand there for three days babysitting everyone. Even so, because she knew the importance of the act, she didn't say anything.
She wouldn't do anything to sabotage that.
As she expected Miyuki, Miyuki stopped hearing that, she slowly opened her eyes. After seeing the blanket of fire on her, but not burning her, she let out a sigh of relief, "Thank you."
Yu Yan nodded with a smile, "Now, you should stop that."
Miyuki looked at the firestorm before her eyes flashed, "I can use this."
