"Send everyone, throw everything at these despicable ants," all of sudden a sinister voice appeared like a hideous whisper. Everyone heard it, and those on the side of the dark forces started to leave everything else and head directly towards the crow forces to stop them.
The crow didn't show any surprise over his feather covered face. He already saw through this and that was why he arranged part of the forces to stand behind and defend them.
"Use your ultimate techniques!" the crow suddenly shouted while ordering the smaller group to do that.
It was impossible to think such a few numbers that didn't exceed two hundred of his forces would be able to stop the gush of tens of thousands of mages and monsters coming from everywhere.
The leaders outside were already busy dealing with Doaf and Nicole and their forces. As for Amera, she had another task to do that she assigned to herself.
"All forces attack!" she suddenly rose high in the air before yelling at everyone. If the enemy had tens of thousands of mages and monsters, then they also had tens of thousands of cultivators.
Per her orders every single cultivator started to chase and relentlessly attack those mages and monsters. In fact many were already doing this without the need of her words.
After all these were the same enemies who came after their sect and killed many of their friends and comrades. As for Amera, she didn't stand a single moment there before she started to run all around.
She took the crow's forces as a central point and started to fly in circular fashion, killing any single foe who dared to get so near there.
She was a single mage after all, and thus she couldn't prevent many to trespass her death zone.
But at least she did a great job decreasing the numbers of those enemies by a large chunk. As for those who survived her, they had no luck at all as they faced the deadly crow forces who were lying in wait.
And thus a brutal phase of this war erupted while both sides were killing mercilessly and racing against time.
But time was starting to lean towards Doaf, Amera, Nicole, and the crow this round. The batch of leaders who abandoned the portal seemed to greatly affect its speed of assembly.
"It will take five hours at least to get formed," Doaf said with a cheerful smile and even laughed when he noticed the slow pace that the portal was taking shape now.
He was racing against an hour, and now that time was elongated with five folds. "We can do it!" he gritted the hilts of both swords before suddenly looking at the nearby Nicole. "I'll leave here for you!"
Without giving her any room to answer or stop him, he instantly took a few of his elites, the strongest, and made a sudden move to bypass all the leaders here.
"Use your ultimate technique!" just as he did so, the shield was just up ahead of them, "bring that damned shield down! On me!"
The sudden appearance of Doaf and his forces next to the shield was a total surprise to the defending forces around it. The mages and monsters were totally focused on the crow.
This time the crow was used to be the decoy while Doaf and his forces acted as the tip of the spear. Things shifted and yet the end result was the same.
The attacks landed over the fully cracked and exhausted shield and in no time the shield was burst open by this.
The explosion that occurred drove out a gush of wild wind all around. Many unprepared forces were knocked down or sent flying backwards in the air.
However that didn't happen to any of Doaf or the crow forces. They were ready and prepared for such an impact.
The moment the shield got down, Doaf and the crow didn't hesitate and threw themselves inside.
They weren't sure of the presence of any more of the dark phoenix mages. Their move was matched with the forces from the leaders who had to abandon the portal in more numbers.
And fierce clashes erupted between both sides instantly.
Flashes of ultimate techniques covered the earth. Deadly fire, wind, ice, lightning, and all other forms of ultimate attacks landed on that small spot of land before their devastation expanded all over the place.
For everyone around this place turned into part of hell. Whoever didn't obtain strong defensive techniques or gears would instantly die.
Large number of mages, monsters, and cultivators fell on these moments. However, that didn't stop neither the leaders nor Doaf and the crow.
This was the last clash that would decide the final winner of this war.
"You lowly ants... you dare to try to stop the mighty dark angel? Me? Hahaha, let me see you die while trying!"
All of sudden this sinister laugh accompanied the mighty roaring words of the hidden dark angel before another change appeared.
All of sudden many portals flashed all over the place before many forces started to pour out constantly from them.
Reinforcements from higher realms that Doaf and other forgot everything about just arrived... i just appeared here at such a crucial time.
"Are we going to lose this?" Amera watched this horrible scene while muttering in a bitter tone to herself. She lost all the will to fight, who could fight such a mighty army with such few and exhausted forces?
She wasn't alone, she wasn't the only one feeling such despair and lowering their weapons like her.
Everyone, everyone on her side felt and did the same. It looked futile and impossible to try and resist. It was pointless. They simply... failed!
"We... lost!" Nicole stood on her end while watching these endless flashes of portals opening up without an end. "I'm sorry... I did my best but..." her eyes welled up with tears while watching the hell doors opening all around.
She was done for. Everyone was done for. Death only awaited them now, one way or another.
So why should they struggle now? For what end?
