Chapter 296

Ibro didn't stop summoning his skeletons. Once this skeleton's army appeared, the whole battlefield changed greatly. The cultivators felt shocked and doubt. 

Even Maya was stupefied when she looked at all these skeletons. She recalled the old prophecy of hersThe life saver, the demon reaper, and the universe destroyer. 

When she noticed her men's reaction, she ordered at once for all cultivators to stand in their places. She now understood the purpose of the last request of Ibro. 

She thought he was bragging, but he calculated this reaction from her men. The demon's side had seen changes too, as some of the fiends there acknowledged Ibro's threat. 

Ibro's fame had begun to spread in their community, so they recognized him at once. They knew if they gave him some time, he would form a huge unstoppable army, like all the reports about him, said. 

So, they issued their orders at once. The heat of clashes had risen to a higher degree. Ibro wasn't worried, as he was now shielded by this sturdy defense from cultivators. 

He watched calmly all that killing that erupted between both sides with no emotion at all. All he cared about was to finish this battle soon and return to his small empire. 

He still had bigger issues to care about. The situation continued like this for a couple of hours, during which the skeleton's army had reached an uncountable scale. 

On the other side, the demons had long started accumulating their strengths too. Two far ends were preparing for an imminent clash. 

Ibro's army had gained a lot of death knights, which were the preferred leaders for the skeletons army to Ibro.

'I feel it's enough for this army to hold the frontlines for a few more hours. Let's get started then. System, please use the divine abilities now.'

Ibro then raised his sword high towards the far distance tunnels. The skeletons roared as they started their march towards the front. The whole battle kept their breaths watching these incoming skeletons. 

For cultivators, they didn't know how strong these skeletons were, so they didn't back down from the defensive lines. 

While the demon's fiends were well aware of this skeleton's strengths and weakness, they issued the order for their accumulated army to march at once. 

The weakest point in the skeletons army was always the beginning. If you gave time to them, you would create huge trouble for yourself then. Well, both sides had underestimated Ibro.

'Death Arise.'

This card that Ibro kept until this critical moment was handy. The moment Ibro used it, the huge battlefield shook. This world had seen continuous wars for a very long time. 

This place was different from other places in the world, as this held the teleportation gates of the demons. Here the most brutal battles had occurred. 

The land itself was drenched in blood that even its color had slightly turned into faint red. The technique time was superb as the two frontlines were about to clash on the borders of the cultivators' defensive lines. 

When Maya saw this brutal imminent clash, she ordered her cultivators to withdraw without delay. Those who didn't follow her orders fast enough were caught in the huge fight that erupted at the frontlines.

The ground started to pour endless streams of skeletons which moved to attack any demon around them. The area of effect of Ibro's technique was huge, as it nearly reached the outer borders of the tunnels area. 

The whole battlefield was turned into white suddenly. These new skeletons had interrupted the momentum demons had. 

Ibro's skeletons were many but not as strong as the demons, so a lot of skeletons were killed at first. But minute after minute, the surviving skeletons were getting stronger and stronger. 

Ibro aimed for his usual tactic, forming his own skeletons to shield frontlines. His goal was achieved in nearly 3 hours only as his skeletons began to push these demons back step by step without many losses. 

Ibro never stopped summoning his skeletons, but he was gathering them away from the frontline battles. 

When his skeletons managed to form these long shield frontlines, he ordered the newly summoned death knights to lead the huge army and start leveling them up. 

Once his machine started working, nothing could stop it. His skeletons began to get stronger and their numbers kept increasing non-stop. 

Maya and other cultivators were watching this miracle from a long distance with disbelief. 

A single man was able to push the frontlines with him alone. That was impossible to believe. Maya felt if this man wanted, then he could conquer any world he desired.

'Keep an eye on the little princess for me; I don't know what craziness she might commit.'

''

Ibro was watching the ongoing battle with not much interest. He knew once his army was put in shape and started to fight with its usual rhythm, and then it would be hard to stop this army of his. 

He only kept summoning skeletons as he poured fresh blood into his army. This battle continued for nearly a day before Ibro's skeletons managed to push the demons to the outer borders of the gates. 

What really made Ibro very thrilled and nearly pushed him to participate personally in the fight was the appearance of the long-awaited cores. 

This world was a cultivation based world, so the demons here followed the same rules as monsters. When they died, they would leave behind cores. 

This was enough reason for Ibro to keep killing the demons here forever. He even thought of asking Maya about changing the battle plan and war goals. 

Instead of completely destroying the tunnels, he wanted to leave one or two here. He wanted a constant supply route to his newly established empire. 

Ibro had created a separate army made entirely of death knights, and then he gave them one mission only: Bring to me all the cores you can find in this world. 

The army moved to wander the whole world looking for any demon corpse and then dissect it for cores. The heated battles in this world didn't allow for any side to care about the dead. 

So, this world was a treasure trove for Ibro and his knights. Every few hours Ibro managed to gather enough number of death knights, and then he sent them into the world. 

This act was repeatedly done from Ibro, which caught the attention of many cultivators watching the war. 

Maya had sent some of her trusted aides to follow these diverted small armies and reported to her their doings. Strangely, they were hunting demon cores.

'If you want these cores this badly, I can give you our stocked cores. We have countless cores stored here with no benefit.'

Maya thought this in her mind. She kept watching Ibro via divine sense. Ibro was very excited by the presence of cores. He was summoning skeletons then group death knights alone in separate groups. 

These groups would be merged later to form a small army that would be sent to look for the cores. 

For a whole week, Ibro didn't move to destroy any tunnel before all of his skeletons had returned carrying countless rings filled with cores. 

Ibro took all of these spoilers and grinned with excitation. He now was in possession of enough cores to establish a thousand villages like his.

'Now, it's time to wrap things up. Are you ready?'

'I was ready a couple of days ago; it's you who delayed the final encounter.'
