Happy
Hundreds of beasts, some infected others demonic, crawled out of the demon well. When they saw the three hundred or so warriors, their eyes turned red while emitting bloodlust.
The demons were hungry and they viewed people nearby as food. That was the only thought in their mind.
Like brainless animals, they hurled themselves at the warriors.
*Swoosh*
A swirling current of wind brushed past them as they ran forward.
"Warriors, let's begin." Screamed the young master of the Ice Phoenix clan.
He was not intimidated by the demons.
"Today, we will hunt and kill all the demons that threatened north." He stated proudly.
His confident and excitement-filled voice raised the courage of the warriors. Everyone charged forward without a second of delay.
It was a do-or-die situation.
The warriors preferred doing rather than dying.
With weapons in their arms, they charged at the demonic creatures.
Most of the demonic creatures were low-ranked. Only a few high-ranked demonic beasts climbed out of the demon well. So, the battle was titled in their favour for now.
"HOWL"
The rank 4 demonic wind wolf suddenly howled in pain.
Just as it emerged to show its power, something heavily slammed onto it from the sky. But, when it turned to look in that direction, it couldn't see anything.
However, a large gash seemed to have formed on its lower back. Blood splashed outwards and tendrils emerged trying to repair the wound.
The attack was silent and impossible to sense.
What was it?
But it didn't have any more time to think as it saw something forming in the sky.
A giant cloud of spirit energy was being condensed above it and being turned into an elemental attack.
The spirit energy interacted with the air in the sky, creating a spinning circular disk. A low-pitched whining noise signified that this attack was much more powerful than the previous one.
Finally, a circular disk formed in the sky, the size of a person.
*Wind cutter*
The demonic wind wolf immediately recognised it.
Wind cutter was an elemental ability the wind wolf could use. But this time, someone else had cast it. And it was larger and stronger than anything the demonic wind wolf could conjure.
Although the wind wolf was a rank 4 creature, it was comparatively small and nimble. Its body was only 4 meters long. If the wind cutter hit it now, it could severely injure it or even cut it in half.
Sensing the danger, the wind wolf began to dash away.
"No, you won't," Deva said silently.
His arms swept through the air guiding the wind cutter towards the wolf. His skilful mastery of his spirit element allowed him to move it according to his will.
"SWISSSSHSHHSHS"
The air whined as it was sliced apart by the wind cutter.
The elemental attack flew at breakneck speed towards the wind wolf.
The demonic wind wolf dashed forward and scampered sideways to dodge the wind cutter. It was effective, the attack just missed it by a hair's breadth.
The wolf was elated.
But its happiness was short-lived.
The wind cutter turned in mid-air like a boomerang and went directly towards it once again.
*SLASH*
Before it could even make a whimper, the attack sliced right through the torso of the wind wolf, cutting it perfectly in half. The demon parasite inside it also died at that exact moment.
Deva didn't miss.
The wind cutter gave the appearance of missing just to make the demonic wind wolf careless. And then he accurately struck the demon parasite.
He had chosen the most effective way to eliminate the demon.
If the attack had landed anywhere else, the demon would have healed back and revived. It was a clean kill by Deva.
However, the wind cutter didn't stop there. In a continuous motion, it began to target other high-ranked demonic creatures.
The difference between a rank 5 and a rank 4 was unsurpassable.
It was one of the strongest attacks Deva. As a rank 5 warrior, the explosive strength he could derive was beyond what the demonic wind wolf, which had no experience in fighting a higher-ranked warrior could comprehend.
Deva and his wind cutter became a meat grinder that eradicated all that stood in its way.
Meanwhile, the young master of the Ice Phoenix clan was no slouch. He, with his rank 4 strength was creating ice spears on his hand, throwing accurately at the demonic spirit beast's spine.
The other warriors were following him and doing the same.
It seemed like everyone knew to strike near the spine to kill a demonic spirit beast.
However, this method only worked against demonic spirit beasts. The true demons, resembling a hybrid of reptiles and dogs, did not share the same vulnerability.
These beings had not assimilated with any spirit beasts; their entire bodies possessed exceptional regenerative capabilities without such weaknesses.
Nevertheless, this also implied that the true demons lacked significant strength. Typically, demons bolster their power by infecting creatures of the world. But they had just been born and were coming out of the demon well for the first time.
They have yet to get the opportunity to infect something.
Therefore, the real demons had lower strength. The warriors were making quick work of these creatures that were similar in strength to a rank 1 spirit beast.
The real demons were quickly dismembered and their body parts were scattered across the battlefield making it harder for them to revive.

Meanwhile, Aru who was observing the battlefield from a far tree was smiling ear to ear. His lips were curled up like a hook almost making his smile monstrous.
And the reason for his happiness was the dozens of pop-up notifications he was receiving from the system.
'Damn! Too easy.'
He thought as he realised that by witnessing each demon being killed, he was receiving a link.
Currently, the total amount of links he received in the short duration has already surpassed 50.
'50 links. That's more than all the links that I have saved up in the past few days. All that by just watching other warriors kill the demons.'
'I now know why systems are called a cheat ability.'
