Battle and back

Ben finally reached the demon camp after days of walking he could only gather the souls of 3 unlucky farmers he met by chance.

He was now looking down on a wide-spreading meadow with the camp only a few hundred meters in front of him. He casually walked down to the camp where two low-rank demons were standing but not caring that he passed. Ben didn't even reach the center as he got called out by a pink-haired woman with massive bat-like wings on her back.

"Hey, strong man!" She said as she slowly walked over with her hips swaying.

She came to a halt only centimeters before Ben and softly stroke Ben's chest.

"For only one soul i will .... suck you dry!" She whispered in Ben's ear and grabbing his butt with her free hand.

"One? For a human soul, the succubus from before gave me the ride of my life and you just offer me a cheap dick kiss!" Ben said annoyed trying to negotiate.

'I at least have to properly try out my new body!' Ben thought.

"Urgh! How about this? Two and i let you do everything you want to me!" The succubus leaned closer and pushed her two big and soft melons against his chest. Ben grabbed her shoulders and pushed her down for her to know what he wanted to do first.

Some demons were watching some passed by not caring but one even wanted to join in so Ben had to stop and knocking him out with a hard punch in the stomach.

"Ahhh that was fun! Isn't that what you did with your tongue something that humans only do? Well, i don't care! My name is Sarlia! Call me whenever you have some souls to spare!" She said with a wink and turned to leave.

Walking around for a while Ben passed by the armory that was only a pile of weapons they collected so he exchanged his worn down sword with a new one it was a longsword that hadn't a special look but was sharper and longer than the old shortsword he had. Ben also found another treasure a set of leather armor a bit worn out but it would be enough for a few battles. With that, he was prepared for the human army that will arrive in 2 days from now at least that was what he heard from that succubus bitch. Ben spent the next two days fighting other demons just to pass time. When he sat on top of a big muscular demon he noticed that all demons even the one he was about to beat up look in the same direction. When Ben also turned his head to look at what they were looking at Ulgon was standing on a box and began to speak in a loud voice.

"AAAAHHH the time has come! The human army arrived! Every one of you can keep one-third of the souls you collect and hand over the rest to me! Gather in front of the camp!" That's it! Demons don't need a motivational speech or something like that they are demons after all harvesting souls and fighting is more than enough motivation.

Ulgon stepped down of the box and confidently walked out of the camp while the middle-rank demons followed him closely and after that the low-rank demons. When he was out of the camp Ben saw the human army for the first time it was an army of around 500 men all clothed in plate armor standing orderly in lines with a knight on a horse in the front who was holding a speech but Ben couldn't understand what he was saying but it must have worked. All of the soldiers were cheering, roaring, and hammering their swords against their shields. Finally, the human army made its move by marching forward. The demons also start to become restless and started to roar at the foolish closer and closer coming humans who dared to appear on the battlefield. The bigger and stronger demons were in the front while the most middle-ranks were in the back Ben placed himself in the middle.

"ATTACK!" Ulgon screamed the long-awaited command from the back.

With a loud and terrifying roar, all the demons charged. After a few meters of running Ben could hear the two fronts colliding and the clanging and rustling of plate armor. That was the point where the demons in the middle start to climb over the ones in the front. This is a technique of the demons the flooding and also because demons are greedy to get souls.

The humans also got a trick or two up their sleeves what Ben could see while he was climbing on top of the demon in front of him a trumpet sounded. Shortly after the trumpet sound, a large group of Knights on horses in an arrowhead formation rode out of the surrounding forest to the right of them.

"Sorry, but this is not the time to think!" A demon said while he climbed over Ben.

When Ben climbed over the last demon he found himself on a battlefield where the ground was already muddy from all the red and purple blood.

In front of Ben was a man trying to shake off a demon that jumped on his back on his left two lacerated human bodies one was even missing his legs. Ben drew his sword and stabbed the man in front of him, not to the liking of the demon on his back but Ben couldn't care less he walked on stabbing and slashing humans who are already in a fight stealing the demon's kills. He also did that to have a bigger chance to survive obviously the souls near Ben vanished as he placed them into his storage.

In the backlines it didn't look so good for the demons the human cavalry was stronger and faster than the demons thought. They would charge again and again passing through the demon army and slashing off some heads while the horses would trample them to death. Ben couldn't see what was happening there he was busy stealing kills, souls, and defend against the attack of the humans who are nearly everywhere. In the mess of the two fighting parties, Ben saw a human raising his sword high and slashing down to kill a fat grey-skinned demon with a broken horn right as the head of the demon got separated Ben came running and stabbed his sword in the man's in the stomach with a twist he pulled it out again.

*CLANG* right at the moment he pulled his sword out a man came running by with a downward slash aiming at Ben. Ben nearly missed that but could parry the attack in time.

"Hahaha! was that all you got? It is still time to run human!" Ben mocked.

The man pulled his sword back and quickly stabbed it forward Ben dodged by tilting his head to the side but still got cut.

"This is how far you get! We humans will fight to the last man if we have to." The man yelled preparing for another attack.

Ben had enough with all his might he swung his sword and slashed the sword at the man in front of him hitting his sword against the man's sword so hard that the knight stumbled. Out of nowhere the man got hit by a huge fist and fell to the ground. A big and nearly 3 meters tall demon suddenly stood beside the man he raised his fist high and smashed the knight's head. The demon looked over to Ben with a wide grin showing his sharp teeth.

"You stole kill, me stole kill from you! HAHAHA, me strong!" The huge figure said spitting on the ground in front of Ben.

"HA! You fat bastard! You were surrounded and would be dead by now if it wasn't me who saved your as!" Ben pointed his sword at the fat demon.

The fat demon looked surprised when the soul of the killed knight suddenly vanished. It looked angrily at Ben who just winked.

"Where soul? You stole! Again! Me strongest! Humans no chance! You no chance! Me Angry! ROOOOOAAAARRR!" The fat demon slammed his fists on the ground and roared at Ben.

"ROAAAAR!" Fatty roared in pain when a spear hit him. A man in plate armor with a tree drawn onto his chest came running by and slashed fatty's neck open. This man had long blonde hair and pointy ears.

'An elf!' Ben thought.

When Ben looked around he saw more of them and some small and stoutly-looking man in plate armor covering them from head to toe flooding onto the battlefield.

"HEAD PRIESTESS NOW!!!" A voice deep in the lines of the human army screamed.

Ben had a bad feeling about that but when he looked around he noticed that he couldn't run the humans, elves, and dwarfs surrounded them! There was no way out! As the other demons also noticed it they went wild and roared in anger. Ben then just went on helping to kill the humans who were still fighting in the middle of the battlefield and collected their souls.

He tried to get as much as possible but then it happened.

Ben felt an itch all over his body and the floor started to glow in a golden light. The itching soon became a burning feeling all the demons around became panicked and tried to run but those who came too close to the end of the giant glowing circular magic formation on the ground got killed by arrows or spears. Ben did not know what to do now he didn't see that information in the memories he got. He got desperate and tried to find Ulgan to look at what he is doing as a high-rank demon he maybe knew what to do in that situation but he was nowhere to be seen. But what he found was a pink-haired succubus standing there with her arms crossed and an annoyed look on her face.

"Hey, Sarlia! What the hell are the humans doing? And what can we do against it?" Ben hurriedly asked. While she was casually looking at her nails.

"Urgh... This is a mass exorcism! We could only stop it by killing that Priestess over there! But look at how heavily she is guarded? You can try your luck but look at how few of us are left that won't work." She casually explained.

"And what happens then? Are we dying?" Ben couldn't help but ask.

"No! Obviously not! Do you think if we would die i would stand here and do nothing?" She answered annoyed.

Before Ben could ask more the world around him went black and he smelled of fire and sulfur. He opened his eyes only to see he was lying under a charred tree in the abyss. That's right so that spell was just kind of a reversed summoning. Ben stood up and looked around it is just like when he came here the first time the sky was covered in thick black clouds, volcanos in the distance, and burned down trees everywhere.

"But first let me look at my loot!" Ben said happily and sat down on a rock.

Ben was busy with the system for quite some time and when he finished two small bottles of blue and yellow liquid appeared in his hands. One was an extra-strong strengthening potion and the other was body modification because Ben was a little jealous of the wings the succubus and some other demons had and he also want a tail. He immediately looked for a place to hide while he would fell asleep.

Ben planed to become a middle-rank demon after he would wake up.

But first, he thought he should devour the souls he gathered after the crafting he had exactly 180 left. Ben didn't kill nearly as much as that he just stole most of them and some demons had soul crystals or scrolls to store them and he just had to pick them up after the demons holding them died. Ben devoured 100 of the souls he had leaving 80 in his storage for later uses and drunk the two bottles.
