Chapter 840 The 72nd Rank Candidate "Let them have this moment. Maybe next time the person who fights them won’t be as kind as us. After all, life and death is fleeting on a battlefield." Isilia smiled as the party waited for them to get ready.Taking a deep breath, Imari looked at the party and raised her spear.Releasing a loud war cry, her mana surged as blood red aura erupted out of her body.Pointing her spear into the sky, red tethers could be seen gathering towards the spear tip from every corner as she pointed her spear towards the party."Charge!!" She shouted out.Following behind her, the soldiers activated their own spells.Looking at the charging army, the party couldn’t help but smile since they would be scared of this scene a few months ago but now, it was nothing to them."Shall we go a bit easy on them?" Silvia asked since she had skills and debuffs that would make what they’re doing obsolete."Yeah, just basic skills for now. If they do die, Silvia, make sure they’re unconscious or something." Lyrica nodded her head."Sure, reviving them shouldn’t be too hard." Silvia chuckled as she slammed her staff down.Suddenly, several layers of tier 5 magic circles appeared beneath them as their stats received an upgrade.Cracking her neck, Madison took a step forward before summoning a shield."HAAAA!!!" Shouting out as loud as she could, a semi translucent barrier suddenly appeared around the party as it expanded out rapidly.Seeing this barrier, the soldiers quickly launched spells towards it but it was ineffective.*BANG!!Crashing against their bodies, the barrier forced the soldiers back as their advance was halted.Imari managed to contest against the barrier for a short while she was able to keep her bearings.Twisting her body, she slashed with her spear and a crimson wave of energy clashed against the barrier, splitting it in half.

*Whistle~The most up-to-date novels are published on lightnovelworld[.]com"That’s the first time I’ve seen someone cut your barrier in half. I suppose a queen candidate is indeed different to normal people." Lyrica smiled."We’ll she is a candidate to lead the demon race, I’d be more concerned if she couldn’t break past this barrier." Madison shrugged since that barrier wasn’t her strongest barrier. It was just something to clear some space around them if they ever get swarmed."Regardless, I’ll go knock a few of them out." Lyrica smiled.Reaching into her pocket dimension, she brought out two large cleavers that threatened to cut down anyone in her path."Are you sure you should use swords like that? Aren’t we going to knock them out and not kill them?" Madison asked with a forced smile."It’s fine." Lyrica waved her hand dismissively.Stomping down, her body flashed towards the army as a trail of red light could be seen flickering behind her.Twisting her body, she slammed the face of the blade against the body of a soldier.*CRACK!!!!The sound of bones breaking could be heard as the impact knocked him out and sent him crashing to the ground."See? Knocked out but not dead." Lyrica smiled as she continued to weave through the army with no one being able to catch her."He’s not dead but he could cross the line at any moment." Silvia sighed as she slammed her staff down.Suddenly, green light wrapped around his body as his wounds were healed instantly."Pft it’s fine, you’ve got it sorted." Lyrica shrugged.Suddenly, she felt danger behind her as she quickly raised her sword and slashed backwards.*CLANG!!Blocking Lyrica’s attack, Imari redirected the sword to the side before trying to slam the pommel of her spear against Lyrica’s chest.Bending her body, back, Lyrica dodged without too much trouble.

Letting go of her sword, she reached into the pocket dimension and grabbed another blade.This time it was a dagger. Twirling the blade in her hand, she flicked it towards Imari’s neck and forced her to back off.Gritting her teeth, Imari backed off and swiped up with her spear.Casually deflecting the spear with her arm guard, Lyrica slammed her hand down and summoned a spear with a flaming tip.While Imari was on guard, Lyrica took the time to quickly tie her hair into a ponytail since she wasn’t in much danger."Well aren’t you kind, you actually gave me some time to tie by hair up. You know what? I’ll be nice to you." Lyrica smiled and dashed forward.Piercing towards Imari with her spear, Lyrica grinned and let go so that the spear continued to travel.Lifting up her leg, she kicked against the pommel to suddenly increase its speed.Widening her eyes, Imari twirled her spear and redirected the attack.Activating one of her skills, a murderous aura erupted out of her body. Crimson wings unfurled behind her as she flickered behind Lyrica.Seeing that Lyrica hadn’t reacted just yet, Imari pierced towards her heart with the spear.However, before her spear could strike Lyrica’s heart, a blade suddenly appeared and protected Lyrica from being killed."You know, if I time it right, I can summon a blade as a defensive action rather than offensive." Lyrica glanced back with a smile.Widening her eyes, Imari was about to jump back when several portals opened up around them.Grabbing a long sword from one of the portals, Lyrica dashed forward.Stepping on the shaft of the spear, she flipped over Imari and kicked her on the back of the head, forcing her to stumble forward.Crouching down, caught Imari’s spear with the guard of her sword and forced Imari closer to her so that her spear would have limited movements. After all, the danger of the spear came from the bladed tip rather than the shaft.Pushing up with her left hand, Lyrica slammed the pommel of her long sword against Imari’s jaw as a cruel sound of bone breaking could be heard.Pulling her right hand back, she slammed it against her chest.*BANG!!

*Cough!Coughing up a mouthful of blood, Imari’s body was sent crashing against the ground.Despite having a large arsenal of skills, Imari wasn’t able to use most of them as Lyrica had ended the fight rather quickly with two strong hits when her guard was down.For fights between high levels like them, a single mistake could be the end even if you have powerful skills.During the short exchange between Lyrica and Imari, Yin, Lisandra, Aarim and Madison were making short work of the army. Meanwhile, Silvia was in the background healing all of their enemies so that they didn’t die because one of them couldn’t control their strength.Soon, all of the enemy was down on the ground as Imari’s regeneration allowed her to stand back up while blood dripped from the corner of her mouth.Looking at the party in front of her, Imari gritted her teeth since the power of the party far exceeded someone from the southern border. If she had to guess, they were either from the centre or the east with how easily they were able to deal with them. The most dangerous of all, the white haired girl, who was relaxed the entire time.If she made a move, everything would have been over in a minute."What do you want with me and everyone else. Why do you bother keeping them alive." Imari took a deep breath despite the pain in her chest and asked. She could feel her ribs on the verge of breaking after Lyrica’s hit and every word she spoke was painful due to the broken jaw but her regeneration was trying its best to keep things together."I suppose I want you as an ally. Well... ally is stretching things a bit so how about subject or follower? You should be familiar with those terms right?" Madison asked with a smile."Heh, so you want me to become your slave is that it?" Imari gave her a mocking smile."Che, the hell is with you demons and slavery. I’m going to ask you to lick my boots or some crap. Things are basically going to be normal only that you’re now working for me and everything you do is in my interest rather than it being something detrimental for me. Think of me as an employer and you’re now an employee." Madison rolled her eyes since Balire was the same when talking about working under someone."So you just want me to work under you without any restrictions?" Imari frowned as this sounded fake to her."Pretty much. After all, the only reason I’m even doing all this is so that I don’t have some dip sh*t king turn me into a brainless b*tch." Madison clicked her tongue and looked towards the north where the top ranking candidates reside."We don’t really have the manpower to look after everything so that’s why I’m asking if you want to work under me. Otherwise we would have probably killed everyone here for EXP." Madison shrugged."Wait, you don’t have man power?" Imari asked in disbelief.With their power, getting soldiers shouldn’t be hard since demons valued strength."Nope. I’m only rank 72 after all." Madison shrugged her shoulders as Imari paused in shock.The one who stopped their advance and belonged to a party of strong people was actually the rank 72nd demon candidate???Blinking her eyes, Imari couldn’t help but wonder if this was a bad dream.
