Chapter 447 The Demigods
The battlefield fell into an unnatural stillness, the air thick with tension as the Demigod Abyssal stepped forward. Its golden eyes, flecked with violet, scanned the battlefield with an almost casual indifference as if the carnage around it were nothing more than a trivial spectacle.
The Abyssal creatures, once frenzied and relentless, now knelt in submission, their grotesque forms trembling under the weight of a presence so far above them in the hierarchy.
Even the defenders, hardened by hours of brutal combat, felt their resolve waver. The sheer magnitude of the Demigod's aura was suffocating, a palpable force that pressed down on every living being within its reach.
Kain's breath caught in his throat, his fingers trembling as though his body was instinctively rejecting the idea of fighting such an entity.
He had faced high-level Abyssals before, but this… this was something else entirely. The Demigod's power was on a completely different level, a force of nature that defied comprehension. His mind raced,
The battle between the demigods was unlike anything Kain had ever witnessed—truly befitting their title as god-like beings.
Their movements were a blur, their attacks so fast and powerful that they seemed to warp the very fabric of reality. Each clash of their powers sent shockwaves through the air, the ground trembling beneath their feet. The defenders and Abyssals alike were forced to retreat, the sheer intensity of their battle making it impossible to remain close.
Yet City Lord Valenar Ishvaran was not finished.
His violet-grade contracts—unable to put up much resistance to the Demigod level figures—spread out across the battlefield to alleviate the pressure on the city guards.
A radiant phoenix soared overhead, its golden flames searing through abyssal ranks. A twin-headed serpent slithered between enemy lines, wherever it passed a scorched serpentine trail remaining. A lion cloaked in fire charged forward, its thunderous roar sending lesser Abyssals into a panic. And more fire-attribute spiritual creatures that ranged from a couple of indigo-grade ones that appeared to be juveniles, to stronger violet-grade contracts, all rushed into the enemy army and trampled on them easily.
The defenders of Ishvaran, seeing their City Lord in action for the first time, felt their spirits ignite. The once-despairing soldiers now fought with renewed vigor, pushing back against the tide of Abyssals. The pressure on the city walls lifted, and for the first time since the battle had begun, it felt as if victory was imminent.
Kain, watching from afar, exhaled a breath he hadn't realized he'd been holding. "Unbelievable…"
Yet, even with the battlefield shifting in their favor, his unease did not fade.

The demigod Abyssal, though now engaged in battle with the City Lord and his contracts, did not appear desperate or even slightly concerned. It was as if it had been waiting for something.
And then, the earth rumbled.
Kain's stomach twisted. He turned his head, and what he saw made his blood run cold.
From the abyssal ranks, a new war machine emerged. It was larger than the others—easily towering over the battlefield like a behemoth of blackened metal. Its form pulsed with abyssal energy, its veins glowing not just with the usual golden and red hues, but now streaked with deep violet, an unsettling change.
Its limbs bore abyssal runes, thrumming with power unlike any of the previous machines.
The defenders, just regaining their morale, faltered once more at the sight of the monstrous war engine.
Benji cursed. "You've got to be kidding me. Another one?"
