Agatha The Legendary Guild Master

Chapter 352: Loss of Communication with My Top Players

The moment I opened my eyes once again, I found my players were already far behind, and the whole world around me was now covered with these many huge monsters. I neglected these monsters, for now, as I was sure my players were able to stop them.

The problem lied in the slowly marching demon army towards here. according to that marching speed, I guessed they would need a day or two to reach here, given that my players retreated all the way back to the border.

'Aria, there is a new huge demon army coming here. it would take days to reach you. I will go to do something, trying to stop this disaster, but I might take a couple of days at least to finish that. you need to stick out, survive, and make the blacksmith use the materials dropped from the cursed dungeons to further strengthen our gears.'

I sent these words as I was already pushing my balloon to the front in top speed.

I was sure the current soul sucker materials would be slightly effective against any monster or demon, but not like the great effect it had against the soul suckers themselves.

So, I thought of using the dark materials dropped on killed monsters in the cursed dungeons. We already cleared a large number of dungeons, killing many monsters already.

So, my players already had a large reserve of them, and it was the time to use these reserves.

I flew towards the distant border, and in two days I managed to reach there. we already pushed the giant monsters passing one quarter of this layer, and the new incoming demon army was still crossing the border, far from my players.

They would need more than a couple of days to reach the other border, at least five to six days. This was better news for me, as I crossed the border with my balloon.

The demons had already covered less than ten percent of the layer when I reached the border. As I thought, they came in like a flood, continuously without showing any breaks in their lines.

They marched from one end to another, covering the whole layer in organized lines. All were a miniature version of my demon, all were holding long huge swords, and long oval thick shields.

They were well organized, well equipped, and only their slow marching speed was their only issue, my only advantage.

"I hope that fort wouldn't be too deep inside!" I muttered the moment I passed into the next layer.

The moment I reached there, I was welcomed by a very grand terrifying scene! The whole layer was covered to the end of my sight with demons! That wasn't good, wasn't promising at all!

The demons all came from the direction of the other border, and I knew at this moment why they were walking slowly all this time! they were marching over, while spreading something semi-translucent under their feet.

I squeezed my eyes, as with all this huge number of demons in front of me, I managed to spot the shining luster or reflection coming from the ground.

Strangely this was a similar material to the giant soul sucker monsters, but I didn't know what it meant.

"Whatever it is, it's not good, and it's related to these huge monsters."

I then stopped my advance at once, retreated for a few minutes, to make sure there were no hidden soul suckers here.

However when I did so, I was shocked to see the ground changed in my eyes, and instead of the openly flat ground, I spotted hills upon hills of huge soul suckers heads!

These deadly bastards were walking under the earth now! they were trying to sneakily attack my players when they were busy fighting the incoming demons!

I sucked in a cold breath of air, as I was currently feeling much enraged! This wasn't a simple scheme at all, it was layer upon layer of deception! Scary! Really scary!

'Listen up, the incoming attack of demons isn't simple, as the soul suckers are moving under the ground, so be careful. Tell me, can you get rid of the whole soul suckers before the demon army reaches you?'

I sent this message to Aria, but after waiting for a couple of minutes, no reply came. I then sent it again, then sent it on the general chat, however as I opened the combined chat, I found a disturbing thing in front of me.

Usually, this chat would be always piled up with many messages from everyone, however currently it is dead silent!

The last message sent there was over two hours ago! that was something weird!

I glanced back towards the border to realize something, since the moment I passed it, my communications were blocked!

"So, I either retreat and alarm them, or move forward and leave them for their fate!"

The choice was simple, but I felt doing it wasn't that simple!

"Hey, come out now," I took my demon out, and the moment he came out, he roared in extreme rage and anger.

"Stop this attitude, and use your sword and attack that nearby border!"

I wanted to test out something. The moment he heard me, he glanced with an apologetic tone, before he turned around and slightly waved his sword towards the border.

The next moment, the attack hit the border, and nothing else occurred! No rebound, no penetration, nothing!

"Oh, it seems they got it upgraded then!" I muttered, with surprise, before I added, "keep attacking, attack the same spot if you can. Sigh, our retreat is blocked, our communications are jammed, and no way for us to help them except by rapidly taking control of this fort!"

The demon roared again before he started to get serious. He used all his four artifacts in his attack, and I kept moving forward while thinking about this hard battle.

I thought of using my artifacts as well, however I was pretty sure that my spear and sword wouldn't be enough to cause enough damage to stop this army.

I took out my prison artifact, and thought:

'Imprison all demons here.'
