349 DEMON-LIKE

Aero is now being circled by the enemy, swarming him. 

But he still is standing and he is standing like a mountain in his place, as he kills everyone that is attacking him. He needs only one move to break each and every moves that the enemies could dish out on him.

Standing there, unmoving, only sword glares and sword light shooting out from each of his slash, Aero appear unmovable.

It didn't matter what kinds of weapons they use, or what kinds of moves and attack they used, Aero would counter in one move, and killing them in another. 

With his powerful hand, the impact of his slash affect many people. 

Each step he takes, cracks the ground. And each strike of his sword distort the air and created a tearing sound in the area.

As such when this powerful impact bear down on the Veranis soldiers, they would instantly die of pain.

Even if they somehow survived, they would be too injured to even wake up and try to fight Aero

Aero is truly like a War God fighting all the mortals in this battle. 

As he is fighting near King Alexander camp, Kyle is making headways as Pericles is now rushing to aid the King. 

With that, Kyle had an easier job. 

The enemy flanks were destroyed and Kyle is now attacking the rear of the unit that tries to trap Aero cavalry unit. 

Aero and the cavalry unit was separated when he was diverted and when he went berserk, the commander had already given order to his men to not enter Aero killing range.

As such when the dust settles and the enemy soldiers suddenly swarmed toward their Chancellor, the cavalry unit started to charge only to be trapped inside a disorderly lines of enemies that is preventing them from going forward and attacking them from the back. 

Fortunately, Kyle had destroyed the flanks and quickly marches his soldiers and send a unit ahead to help Aero cavalry forces.

Quentin is also making headway on his flank. 

Iothian and Iapetus already left the frontlines and is travelling to the back with their unit to support and aid the King tor retreat safely. By now, the trend of winning seems to be on the side of Vanheim

They however have not lost completely. 

There are still many fortresses around here. And there are still many villages that have been brought under Veranis control where they could retreat towards.

There is still a chance for a comeback.

As such, as long as King Alexander lives, there is a chance for another day. 

But a war is not that easy. Just because they want to retreat, did not mean the enemy would let them retreat.

Instead the more they wanted to retreat, the more their enemies won't let them

And that is what Aero is doing. 

And even if he tried to retreat. Aero would not allow it.

Alexander is still thinking of waiting for Antonius reinforcement.

The banner of the Vanheim Empire soars proudly in the air as one unit after another break through the lines of warriors and mages of Vanheim and pushing even harder toward the frontline of the enemies.

It is clear now that the battle is nearly decided.

Kyle manage to break the encirclement and reunited with Aero cavalry unit. 

The moment he arrives he takes control of the situation quickly, rendering aid as fast possible, creating gaps in the enemy defenses and form that gap, Kyle orders aim to widen that gap and break through from many gaps all at once.

Kyle formation force the enemy liens to be disordered. Each time it shows any resemblance of being reorganized, Kyle would break it and force it apart again. 

With the cavalry unit working together, they puncture a hole in the already fragile defensive measures by the generals of Veranis army to delay him.

'Go help your commander. We will hold the line!' Kyle shouted to the captain of the cavalry unit. The captain of the cavalry unit breaks through one of the gaps and rides toward Aero.

Aero right now is in killing spree. By now a thousand people had died under his sword. And his appearance seems to change a bit. Aero is starting to slowly infuse killing intent in his sword. 

He knows he could not control the Killing intent skill with mastery so he is slowly trying to master it. 

And while some other skill are bets mastered during clam situation, the Killing Intent is a skill that is best understood during battle.

Aero did not remember the past clearly. 

But he knows in the past that if they died they could be revived. 

So, probably there is no such fear that they will die since they could be revived infinitely. 

But now, now, that dying is a possibility, there is this adrenaline surge that fill his body, screaming to survive

Aero who knows his own weakness fears greatly that someone would attack his ankle. But he still keeps fighting.

Because there are too many things that he could lose by not fighting. At the same time, as his killing intent is slowly activated, there is a change on his entire person

He is slowly turning to a demon-like appearance. His hair grew longer, his eyes is bright red rubies and his features turns demonic.

From his gaze and his facial features, he truly looks like a demon from the Eastern Heaven

This is the effect of the Demon of the Battlefield. At that time, he killed ten thousand people to get this effect.

And now, there is around tens of thousands of people that have died under his sword. As such the title effect of Demon of the Battlefield is activated.

As Aero is busy killing the soldiers of Veranis, on the Veranis side, they welcomed another batch of soldiers.

By now, supplementing the King side is the reserve army on the fortress that had come after listening to the commotion and receiving the pigeon messages from the other generals to quickly rush toward the battlefield and relief King Alexander from danger and fight against the Vanheimneian force. 

When Aero had managed to set this ambush, Alexander had also send a pigeon message toward the many fortress that he had around the plains and send an order to reinforce his forces.

There were tens of thousands of soldiers that is still marching toward the plain to reach King Alexander side 

There is also some of those who capitulated to him before that send some of their soldier towards him. 

Of course not all of them would reach the battlefield at the same time considering each of them come from a different place and their distance is different

Now, Alexander main camp is supplied with another ten thousand men, some of them were ordered to go to the flanks to aid the soldiers that is being broken down by Quentin, Kyle and other Vanheim commanders and generals. 

But this addition did not seem to ease Alexander heart. 

Just a few kilometers from him, Aero is madly fighting with his soldiers, killing like a demon that crawl his way out of hell. 

Alexander had always wondered whether the strength of the three Pillars is really true or was it exaggerated. 

Today, he had found his answer 

The stories did not exaggerate power of the Three Pillars. Instead, they might have underestimated the true power of the Pillars.

Before this, he would not have believed one man could change the entire course of the battlefield. Today, he believes. 

Aero is a one-man army by himself. 

If he has an Archmage, maybe it could tangle with Aero for a while but since he did not have such person in his retinue, there is no solution of trying to kill Aero of the East. And it appears the more he kills, the more he comes stronger

As such, even the thousand men was added to his army, he did not feel confident at all

Quentin and Kyle control the rear so that nobody could stop Aero advances. 

Even though the reinforcement arrives, they are all on the river on the side of Alexander main camp so, they did not have to worry about being attacked in the rear.

Aero is slowly familiarizing himself with the killing intent that he now has. It is thick and at times, it also creates a magic shield-like that would take the attack of mages and the warriors against him

The ticker his killing intent, the sturdier the shield become. 

Aero want to use such defensive properties to his ankle but he found out that for some reason, that demonic killing intent avoid that area of his ankle. Like it is of a different kinds of energy so it did not mix completely.

As his killing intent grew stronger, the illusion effects he has on the minds of the weak become even more obvious.

Some people when they were face to face with Aero, they would shriek in fear. 

In their eyes, Aero is now around eight feet high and his eyes is red like blood with his body full of spikes and there are skeletal bones on his back, like he is some kind of demon king.

That kind of appearance would surely scare anyone. It is like Aero is some monster that escaped the Underworld.
