Chapter 448 - Where to shoot first?

As Eric pierced the sky with his blessed hot fire burning underneath his feet, his attention soared towards the Demons sneaking away from the bundle and heading for the Forest!

There is little he can do to shoot them, as the bundle of over 40 Demons are hollering underneath his feet. Some trying to jump and catch the flying boy, although he is over 20 meters above their head.

With the opportunity of facing a bundle given, he joined his palms together, making them face forward shaped like a butterfly.

Three Fireballs at once descended from his palms, heading towards the Demons and stretching 3 feet wide each!

He could hear the howls of pain, brought upon these wild beasts by the young boy's attack. But which Demon he hit and what damage he caused is uncertain to the Electus, hard to see from up here.

If detail is your prime interest, he blew a couple of heads off and sliced away limbs as well.

These Clawed Demons are uncomfortably unpredictable, so while most of them are here the young hero pleases to shoot down as many as possible.

Therefore as he took a second to breathe this time, a 8 foot wide Fireball blew from his palm followed by a 3 foot tail!

It soared through the air for a second before it met with the Demons, blowing off skulls faster than they eye can blink, no Demon under that Holy Fire was given the chance to live.

But it doesn't stop there! There is a reason this Fireball was followed by a three foot long tail, instead of a wall shaped sensation.

What Fire didn't enslave a victim, slipped and torched it's way to the ground! When there not only did it spread, cutting off legs of Demons who died from the first stage of the attack.

But it also escaped that 8 foot wide radius, reaching three more feet further on each side at a circular manner!

Deadly, effective and a way to turn the tides of battle. 30 Demons have dropped dead, only a bit above 10 of these crazed enemies remain on the ground... while the ones who sneaked for the Forest earlier aren't to be seen anymore.

Dealing with these Demons, in the midst of blasting a Fireball he noticed a wave of Clawed Demons rise from the shores 100 meters away from the young Electus is flying, or best described 100 meters closer to the Kingdom.

Unfortunately, this wave is getting only bigger and bigger. Almost double the size of the bundle Eric just dealt with, so it has to be 70-80 more Demons attacking the Kingdom.

Dealing with the few 10 Demons now underneath him is a bad idea. Out of 70 Demons, a handful can slip away from the Guard's defences and cause havoc in the Domain.

Maneuvering his feet to face the new threat, Fire stretched 3 feet wide through his feet as he tried to reach the new wave.

And good enough, the 10 or so Demons he wanted to deal with followed the Fire underneath Eric's feet. At least these ones won't escape into the forest.

Once in a 20 meters close to them, catching the attention of at least halt of these clawed Demons. A 5 foot wide Fireball howled from his palms and blew off heads and stomachs, terminating three Demons.

Scared that he will loose too much Stamina, but unwilling to leave everything to the other Fire Controllers who are not yet in battle.

He blew a 10 foot wide Fireball, followed along by a 5 foot wide tail! This alone took a quarter of his whole Stamina once it escaped his palms and went after the Demonic spines!

Feeling a bit dizzy, he could only hear the Demons scream once his Fireball made an impact, plaguing the ground at a 15 feet Radius!

Looking down again, shaking his head to fight off the blurry vision. He can take a rough guess and suppose that only 30 Demons are standing underneath him.

Great right? That means he killed over 40 with just one shot.

Wrong!

He might have killed 20 or so, as Demons won't really stay in one place and await to be fried.

Gazing upon the Kingdom, he could count over 40 Demons running towards it!

Now his decisions stretch thin, because he can't let those 40 Demons reach the walls and yet if he follows them, the 30 Demons below him will follow along and enslave all of the Guard's capabilities.

As if the Devine source has sent him, Mogranius landed right in front of the Demons... well about 100 feet away from them and started shooting like a madman.

His preferred move for such a problem, unleashing three Fireballs at once!

Pushing his palm forward, forming them nearly like a butterfly. He started tapping the ground with his right foot, three Fireballs stretching two feet wide started shooting down these crazed enemies.

With the Demons approaching closer, with their running speed being twice of that as a Human's. A bigger blow has to be encouraged, or else success should be solely based on the Archers and 100 Goblin Demons lent by Kutuk.

Aiming to be quick, he reached his palms close to each other and blew Fire from both. Forming an orb in between them, instantly blowing Fire from his mouth to enhance this orb's strength.

Taking only a couple of seconds to charge this orb, unleashing it appears as an only option with the Demons only 20 feet away!

Bashing his fists against the ground, he stood up as fast as he could and blew Fire from his feet. Not fleeing from the Demons, but from the Atomic Fireball!

The orb sunk in the ground, pushed forward at a zig zag movement just for a few feet, forcing rock and dirt above it to blow a couple of feet up as it ventured towards the Demons with every zig and zag!

Rising from the ground, with half of the wave of these Demons already surrounding it... the Atomic Fireball finally unleashed what it has gathered up!

As it blew up, the Demons closest to the orb got completely disintegrated mid run. Flesh, internal organs and bone completely vanished before the Orb completely expanded!

Those who were only two feet away from the orb, got their bodies obliterated up to the neck... with their heads only remaining... well more like skulls as most flesh got burned off!

The Demons that ranged 5 feet away from the orb, got their legs blown off as they were walking on their hind legs.

As for the rest of their bodies, half of the flesh around their ribcage has gotten burned off! Causing for internal organs to spill from over 10 Demons.

But a good half of them have been burned into dust by the split second of an aftermath raging across the ground, cooking what internal organs were left as a last result.

You can understand how the Atomic Fire burns, and you can comprehend what each foot around it can cause.

But the ones that have it worst, are the ones 8-20 feet away! Since the Atomic Fireball can't completely burn off bodies that are that far, a quarter of these Demons where tossed in the sea...dead.

While the rest where of course tossed on all other sides, up to 100 feet away!

This solves one problem as one attack obliterated over 60 Demons were awfully slaughtered with one move!

Now all that remain underneath Mogranius, are around 10 Demons... beautiful. This situation is gained control over, working at Gaster Kingdom's advantage.

With Eric killing those ten Demons he had to deal with, it's all nice and peachy right? Eric even shouted from 40 feet, "Aye watch the Atomic shots!"

Seeing it as an insult, Mogranius hollered back. "Obviously your moves weren't working so well against half of the Demons."

Flying about 10 feet close now, aiding Mogranius to kill the 10 remaining Demons. Eric once again howled, "Now you barely have any Stamina, go sit this one out."

Agreeable, with his vision mostly forced to a blur the old man made his way towards Gaster Kingdom's walls and left Eric to burn down the small group of remaining enemies.

This battle feels as good as over, most of the Demons are dead and the Archers didn't have to flick an Arrow. Beautiful.

...

King Michael flew out of his Kingdom, wanting to aid this battle. A battle of which has met an end, guilty indeed but at least everyone is intact.

As if on cue, before he could even say a word to the other Fire Controllers... A large snake started approaching from the Forest!

Once it got 100 feet close to Gaster Kingdom, the King noticed it's distinguished large feature and shouted from the top of lungs, waving his arms at the Archers and Eric as well of course. "Don't shoot!"
