Death... and me
chapter-785

Two months went by as fights began to take place everywhere.

Somewhere on the planet, a man and a girl were helping the demon beasts in a battle found in a small region called Nanrian. Because they were humans, they were promptly accepted into the demon beasts' forces to take on more special missions. As for why it was so fast, that's because both humans were in the Late Stage of the Core and Soul Fusion Realm.

As everyone knew, Stage Four Demon Beasts had similar power to Core and Soul Fusion Realm cultivators. However, Stage Four Demon Beasts couldn't follow complex commands. That being said, humans were a valuable asset to the Demon Beast Alliance. After all, they could follow orders properly, even at lower levels.

Last but not least, these two were accepted inside the demon beasts' group because of the humans who came from the Demon Beast Continent. After all, it wasn't as if they could simply enter the Demon Beast Army that easily.

If Rean, Roan, and Kentucky were here, they would immediately recognize these two.

"Malaka, take the Zasfins on the left-wing. I'll head to the middle," Agis said as he charged with the other demon beasts once more, aiming for the Zasfins' defense. However, Agis quickly noticed a happy-go-lucky girl right on his tail, prompting him to curse, "The hell? Didn't you hear me?"

Malak nodded as she laughed, saying, "Hahaha! I did! However, it's obvious that the center is a lot more fun. Besides, the human slaves in the Zasfin Army are also concentrated in the middle sector. Without my help, you'll have a hard time saving them alone."

Agis scratched the back of his head but eventually gave up in the end. "Ahhhh....fine! Let's go together!"

On the back, the Stage Seven Demon Beast overseeing this battle nodded with a satisfied expression, muttering, "Those two humans are quite useful." However, he quickly noticed the Saint Realm Zasfin on the enemy side leave his post. "Oh! So, you've decided to come out already? Sure enough, it is as Senior Phex mentioned. The Zasfins have already given up guarding their strength. Well, that's good for me as well. I was getting bored already. Hahaha!"

Malaka and Agis looked in the sky's direction, just in time to see an enormous crab flying towards the opposing side's army. Not long after, that crab went even higher before it met up with a small figure that came from the Zasfins' side. Sure enough, those two were the Stage Seven Demon Beast and the Saint Realm Zasfin.

*Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom...*

Immediately, the sky above the army turned into a forbidden zone where only those at their level could enter. For Agis and Malaka, that was something way out of their league. "The enemy's Saint Realm is out. Let's force our way through!"

*Roar!*

As if hearing Agis' words, all the demon beasts around them charged at the Zasfins. It didn't take long for the battlefield to be filled with even more corpses from both sides. As for Malaka and Agis, they prioritized the human slaves that were brought to help the Zasfins.

'Myriad Thrust!'

'Hundred Water Flowers!'

Agis and Malaka's attacks were aimed at both the Zasfins and the humans. However, while the Zasfins had to defend against their attacks, the humans didn't have the speed or strength to do that. Fortunately for them, Malaka and Agis weren't aiming for their lives. Instead, they targeted the slave collars on their necks!

*Shatter, shatter, shatter, shatter, shatter!*

One after another, the slave collars on the humans shattered nonstop. At the same time, the demon beasts rushed through the gaps but ignored the humans, attacking the Zasfins ahead.

"Arrgh!"

"Help me!"

"They're taking the slaves!"

Screams, shouts, and the sound of broken collars came from everywhere. As Agis and Malaka liberated the humans, they also used their Spiritual Senses to talk with them.

'Head in the direction of the Demon Beast Alliance's army. Don't worry. No demon beast will attack you as long as you don't threaten them. It's your chance to be free and live with other free humans. Don't let this chance slip!'

Many of the humans were taken aback, not knowing what to do. But after seeing how the Zasfins were being pushed back, they were surrounded by running demon beasts. Trying to head back to the Zasfins' side would be suicide since that's where the heat of the battle was located.

Of course, the Zasfins noticed Agis and Malaka trying to help the humans and tried to use them as shields. Unfortunately, the demon beasts didn't stop attacking just because the humans were in the way. They had already been told that the demon beasts in charge didn't mind if they tried to save the humans. However, they wouldn't let their own troops die just so they could be saved. If they got in the way, the demon beasts would just continue with the assault. This was war, after all.

Nonetheless, there was a positive effect to it. Seeing that using the humans as shields or threatening to kill them was useless, the Zasfins gave up trying it after a while. In the end, trying to use the humans would only become a burden for them.

Suddenly, Malaka noticed a Zasfin fighting a Stage Five Demon Beast, a Saber Hound, in the middle of the mess. Agis, who was with her, noticed that as well. They looked at each other and nodded soon after.

So far in this battle, they had been displaying the combat power on the level of someone at the Late Stage of the Core and Soul Fusion Realm. However, they had Roan's teachings and revised cultivation techniques. They were obviously much stronger than average cultivators at their level. 'If we succeed in killing that Zasfin, this side will be a lost cause for the Zasfins. Let's go!'

Of course, Malaka and Agis didn't head straight for the Nascent Soul Realm Zasfin. They pretended to be dragged to that side of the battle as the fights continued. Of course, with their superior strength, they kept killing some of the Zasfins on the way, which aroused that Nascent Soul Zasfin's attention. Those two made it look like they were taking advantage of the Nascent Soul Zasfin's battle against the Stage Five Demon Beast to kill more of the Zasfin army.

'Hmph! Do you think I can't do anything to you just because of the oversized dog?! Dream on!'
