Epic Of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System Chapter 1515 Invasion

Chapter 1515 Invasion

-----
Although they were being slain constantly, due to their naturally tougher bodies and mightier strength, the Demons and Demonic Beasts eventually swarmed the barrier set by Ruby. Even after all their attempts, and even as all fighters were taking care of them, there were so many of these invaders that the entire barrier started getting covered by them. Their attacks, both physical and magical, rained down upon it constantly.
BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! Crack, crack…!
"Dammit! The barrier won't hold back for much longer…!"
Ruby gritted her teeth as she concentrated and fully focused on the barrier, but her Divine Power was already reaching dangerously low numbers. Above all, the barrier kept gaining cracks, it wouldn't last much longer!
"Do we have to just escape at the end?!"
This whole ordeal has been a battle of attrition. The Demons came here looking for Pandemonium's Body Fragment, right inside the dungeon where Drake and company had gone to.
This meant they were busy and if the demons invaded them, not only would they be trapped inside a dungeon fighting almost a thousand demons, but there was the possibility the dungeon itself would somehow benefit from it one way or another.
Most of the villagers had already been evacuated in these exceedingly long ten minutes since the demon invasion, however, there were still left a few elderly people that were resting or sleeping at this time.
One of the strongest members left in the village after all the warriors went to the dungeon, Tyrannus daughter, the Shaman Lizardman girl, Amehia, was hurriedly using her powers and abilities to carry the elderly people that couldn't move as fast.
A crimson portal was opened in the middle of the village, where the lizardmen were running into, this was the portal leading to Ruby's Divine Realm.
"Ouch, my knees…" A lizardman grandpa groaned in pain as she was being forced to move faster by Amehia and her grandson.
"Grandma, we have to hurry, please bear with it!" Her young grandson cried, too little to carry his grandma.
"Oof… I-I can't move anymore…" However, his grandmother quickly collapsed on the ground. "My legs hurt too much… Just leave me behind, my grandson. I've already… lived long enough."
"N-No! You can't say that! Dad's going to kill me if he learns I left you behind!" Her grandson started crying, trying his best to carry her.
As this happened, the young boy glanced the horrifying scene, hundreds of aberrant demons and demonic beasts gnawing, slashing, and tearing apart the barrier.
Their countless, gigantic eyes sent chills down his spine, making the young lizardman swallow saliva in pure horror.
"Why is this happening to us?! Just why do these monsters want us dead so badly? What have we even done to all of you?!"
As the boy screamed, suddenly, a lizardman girl came running to his side, vines surged from the ground, wrapping around his grandmother and carrying her.
"Is everything alright? Please hurry to the portal! W-We don't have much time!"
Amehia came running to their side, surprising them.
"A-Amehia…" The grandma muttered.
"Big sis Amehia!" The boy cried. "T-Thank you! I didn't want to leave grandma behind!"
"No problem, now hurry!"
Amehia saw the two quickly enter the portal, as she looked around, seeing the last few families moving to the portal.
Her Spirits floated around her, constantly assisting everyone. However, it felt as if this was never ending, more and more monsters kept popping out of nowhere!
"W-Will our village, which we worked so hard to create, be destroyed once the day ends?" She wondered, fear creeping within her body.
She felt utterly powerless right now. With her mother kidnaped and her father going on a perilous journey to get her back, the only thing she could rely on was on her own strength and the allies that she didn't even knew very well about.
Despite her incredible talent with Spirit Magic and her innate abilities, Amehia was still a mortal, and saw herself as someone that couldn't even dare enter that battlefield.
The demons and demonic beasts would tear her to shreds before she could even make eye contact with them…
If the difference between a God and a mortal was already immense, one between a mortal and a Demon was even larger.
A gap that seemed utterly hopeless to close, even the Gods were struggling!
And the barrier would soon shatter, rendering the village vulnerable to their rampage and flames…
Crack, crack…!
It continued gaining cracks, as Amehia saw in desperation as small cracks opened, tiny demonic beasts sneaking inside!
"AH! NO!"
She panicked, stepping back as she noticed two other families that were about to make it, suddenly being chased by small Imp-like Demons.
They were one of the Lesser Demons of Hell, smaller than any others, but still terrifyingly strong!
"G-Get away from us!"
The people panicked, screaming in horror as they saw the monsters' approach closer. Amehia ran towards them, forming walls after walls of wood to protect them, putting herself in front of them.
"RUN!"
The people ran past her as the Imps glanced at her while giggling devilishly, breaking and burning her wooden walls with ease.
"What do we have here~?"
"A magician?"
"Is this their new Spirit Magic I've heard about?"
"Interesting… Let's play a bit with her, the information we'll learn from Spirit Magic will be useful for our Master!"
"True! True! Let's tear her to shreds first, gyeheheh!"
Amehia gritted her teeth, facing the group of five Imps with her Spirit Magic. She couldn't help herself but tremble in fear, timidly pointing her staff at them.
"&123;S-Spirit Call&125;! &123;Wooden Fist&125;!"
With all her Mana into the game, a gigantic fist of wood surged from the ground as a multitude of tiny Wood Spirits answered her call!
BAAAAMMM!!!
The attack seemed effective; the Imps were pushed back!
However…
Crack… crack…!
CRAAASH!
It was all for nothing, the Imps easily blocked the attack with their tiny hands and shattered the whole fist by imbuing it with a speck of their Aura.
"I-It was useless?!" Amehia knew it would be for nothing, but even she expected a slightly better result.
"Pathetically weak! Did we had to worry about this?"
"Okay, now I get to tear her to shreds!"
Two Imps leaped after her, aiming to tear her arms apart!
"AMEHIA!"
However, a flash of green light appeared in front of Amehia.
CLAAASH!
