Commander Thalia POV

Thalia, a knight bound by an unbreakable oath to her master, the Northern Duke Galen. A pact not just to shield her lord but to cast a protective shadow over the entire Northern Dukedom. This solemn commitment extended beyond mere allegiance, demanding a vigilance for righteousness, a guardianship of the law, and an executioner's hand for all things evil.

Her comrades and the soldiers marching beside her weren't shackled by the fear of death; instead, a more ominous dread gripped them. The fear that their efforts might fall short, that their oath might remain unfulfilled.

Thalia and her comrades grappled with the haunting notion that mere spectators they'd become. Questions of their knightly honor gnawed at them, for how could they justify standing aside while others faced the Demon Lord head-on?

In the darkest chapter of the Northern Dukedom's history, Thalia and the Northern Army sensed the urgency to rise up, to be the shield that guarded their home.

Thalia was watching the battle unfold in the sky.

Observing the aerial clash between the Demon Lord, the Griffon Knight, the Master Fairy, and the Master Polar Bear in such incredible intensity. However, she also acknowledged her inability to partake in such a fierce and protracted struggle against the Demon Lord.

Amidst the conflict, pigeons soared through the skies, carrying messages to knights and mages, as well as powerful individuals engaged in the fight against the Demon Lord. These avian messengers played a crucial role in coordinating efforts and conveying vital information to ensure a united front against the impending threat.

A pigeon landed on Thalia. Thalia gave the command. “Begin the operation.”

----

Above the Demon Lord Storm's battlefield, a Magic Formula etched in luminous brilliance loomed ominously, casting an eerie glow.

Throughout the city, a multitude of knights and mages raised their hands, channeling mana towards the expansive Magic Formula.

Thalia's voice reverberated through the city's expanse. "Unleash Destruction!"

In response, the Griffon Knight, Rowana, and The Polar Bear swiftly retreated from the encroaching Demon Lord Storm.

The Magic Formation discharged an immensely colossal beam of light, colliding with the formidable Demon Lord. For an entire minute, the ethereal magic light relentlessly pummeled the Demon Lord, as if a cosmic force sought to erase its malevolence.

The sky, once a canvas of darkness, now became drenched in an intense, radiant light, reminiscent of a second sun gracing the heavens.

As the colossal laser light finally subsided, the Demon Lord Storm remained seemingly impervious to the onslaught. Unscathed and undeterred, it stood as a testament to the insurmountable challenge facing Thalia and her allies in this supernatural confrontation. The entire Northern Dukedom, momentarily bathed in celestial radiance, now hung suspended in a tense stillness, the eerie aftermath of a failed assault against a force that defied conventional understanding.

Rowana POV

Rowana scrutinized the barrier around the formidable Demon Lord Storm, her analytical mind dissecting its strengths and weaknesses.

The Demon Lord Storm, she deduced, had a vulnerability kinetic attacks could potentially shove it away. Yet, the barrier posed a daunting challenge; her poisonous Magic Arts couldn't breach its formidable defenses. Complicating matters, the demon's didn’t need to breathe further narrowed her tactical options.

Unlike the typical Magic Art that needed mana, demons wielded an enigmatic force that scholars termed Sorcery, its workings shrouded in mystery.

Rowana decided it was time to unleash her most powerful attack after the Magic Formation of Destruction had hitted the Demon Lord.

Drawing upon the generosity of the Divine Beast King Cobra, Rowana retrieved three Seal Orbs, their purpose extending beyond merely sealing individuals to also sealing Magic Art attacks.

With a shattering force, she fragmented all three orbs, summoning forth three colossal, green poisonous tornadoes that careened towards the Demon Lord, slamming into its imposing form.

The onslaught propelled the Demon Lord across the skies, yet the relentless entity remained standing, defying the merciless assault.

In the aftermath, Rowana wished she had an extra Seal Orb. It was easier to seal the seemingly indestructible Demon Lord than destroy it.

Commander Thalia POV

Thalia clenched her teeth, frustration etched on her face as the Magic Formation of Destruction failed miserably in its attempt to eradicate the Demon Lord.

The Hero then said, “Hit the Demon Lord with that attack again.”

Thalia, on the verge of unleashing a vehement tirade, held back, realizing the cost. Thousands of knights and mages drained of their mana for an attack that yielded no success.

The city echoed with eerie howls and barks, sending shivers down Thalia's spine as she recognized the unmistakable sounds.

Hundreds of thousands of Horned Dogs and Brutal Dogs stampeded through the streets, their purpose enigmatic.

Bright magical orbs streaked through the air, converging to strike the Demon Lord. The Brutal Dogs took to the skies, launching an aerial assault. Yet, with a mere wave of the Demon Lord's hand, lightning surged forth, obliterating the army of Brutal Dogs.

The Horned Dogs encircled Thalia, the Hero, and Samantha. Ready to defend, Thalia raised her sword, but the Hero intervened, gently lowering her weapon. “Stop, the puppies are here to help.”

Thalia said angrily. “How could you possibly know!”

The Hero smiled gently, “The Horned Dog, Brutal Dog and Hellhound purpose it to raise soldiers to fight against the Demon Invasion. Their greatest enemies are the Demons.”

The Horned Dogs surrounding them emitted a glow from their horns, as mana coursed through. A wave of mana converged toward the Hero Sai.

Absorbing the energy, Sai declared, “The Hero's are the protectors of Charybdis, we are the caretakers of the Puppy Nursery, and we are given the duty to slay Demons.”

Thalia watched the sky, where the Brutal Dogs succumbed to defeat, leaving only the Master Polar Bear, Rowana, and the Griffon Knight in the battle. Doubt lingered as she questioned, "Is it even possible to kill that Demon Lord?"

The Sapphire Hero started to move. “I promise you that I will slay Demon Lord Storm or die trying.”

Sai POV

Sai had come up with a foolish suicidal plan to finally kill the Demon Lord Storm guided by the enigmatic insights bestowed by the Nexus.

The Nexus, the ethereal embodiment of the world's spirit. The Nexus held sway over every system that governed the world. From the Ancient Magic Art System to the Dungeon System, and the Blessing System to the Magic Art System, the Nexus intricately maintained the delicate balance of the entire world.

Sai embarked on his daring plan, stepping onto the air with the grace of the Cloud Step Technique, abandoning the familiar weight of the Staff of Moses and the Mithril Shield.

“After this. Lets spread the beauty of Manga to the world,” Sai solemnly pledged, his heart pulsating with the weight of his resolve.

Dashing through the sky toward the rampaging Demon Lord Storm. Lightning bolts, a ferocious display of the Storm's wrath, hurled toward him, yet Sai danced with uncanny agility, evading the lethal onslaught.

Sai then moved closer to Demon Lord Storm and seized Storm's wrists, delivering a succession of powerful knee strikes to the Demon Lord's gut. Unyielding, Sai pressed on, unloading two more strikes before Storm.

As Storm, desperate to escape, triggered a teleportation, Sai found himself seamlessly transported alongside his otherworldly adversary. A triumphant glint sparkled in Sai's eyes as he declared,“You can’t escape from me anymore!”

Another punishing knee strike found its mark in the Demon Lord's gut.

In the past, the Spear Monarch thwarted Storm's attempt to teleport away by seizing him. Unexpectedly, it was revealed that the Spear Monarch, in his effort to prevent Storm's escape through teleportation, found himself transported alongside Storm.

Sai was going to use this information to win.

Sai persisted in delivering relentless knee strikes to the gut of the Demon Lord Storm, unwavering in his determination to continue until victory was achieved.

When Storm attempted to teleport away, Sai found himself teleporting alongside the Demon Lord.

Storm's attempts to unleash deadly lightning bolts were thwarted as Sai maintained a firm grip on the Demon Lord's wrists.

Even Storm's conjured wind proved ineffectual against Sai, who remained unaffected.

Efforts to assail Sai with water attacks proved feeble, lacking the strength to inflict damage upon his resilient form.

Sai, with unyielding determination, continued his onslaught, viciously knee-striking the Demon Lord with both his left and right knees.

A surge of stamina coursed through Sai, as if he could endure a marathon without faltering.

In the unfolding conflict, victory seemed to be leaning in Sai's favor.

With each merciless knee strike delivered to Demon Lord Storm, Sai meticulously counted the blows, marking his relentless progress.

100 hits!

250 hits!

500 hits!

2500 hits!

5000 hits!

The Demon Lord Storm's barrier finally crumbled, and Sai released his right hand from the demonic wrist. His right hand was now forming a tight fist. With a surge of determination, Sai launched a potent punch square into the face of the now-vulnerable Demon Lord.

The impact shattered the Demon Lord's face, scattering splatters of eerie blue blood in a gruesome display. The once formidable foe now lay in ruin, a grotesque testament to the power of Sai's final blow.

A ring sound alerted Sai. 'Level up!'

'Level up!'

'Level up!'

'Level up!'

'Level up!'

'Level up!'

'Level up!'

'Level up!'

'Level up!'

'Level up!'

As the echoes of battle subsided, Sai's Holy Rush gradually faded away, marking the conclusion of the arduous struggle against Demon Lord Storm.
