Chapter 357 Four-Fifths in an Instan

Yale and Ronragruk were standing in the air seeing the incoming army.

Neither of them wanted a war, but since they were being attacked, they didn't plan to beg for piety either.

The tribe had been surrounded by a lot of complex formations and traps, and given the difficulties of the terrain, the defending party had the advantage.

However, since the other party dared to attack, it was clear that they had confidence in obtaining results, so no one dared to underestimate them.

"All of you have no way to escape. If you surrender now, you might live as our slaves. Especially you Ronragruk, I always wanted a dragon as a mount."

The man who shouted from ahead of the army was the birdman ancestor who was hiding his true level and seemed to be just a peak Law Master.

"Is that bastard again... He had always been asking for trouble, but he never reached this extent..."

Ronragruk recognized the other party and needed to admit that had prepared very well.

Before that day, Ronragruk didn't feel a deep grudge towards the birdman ancestor.

It was true that both could be considered old enemies, but those kinds of struggles were typical in the western continent, so as long one didn't suffer great loses it was difficult to end in a war involving entire factions.

The birdman ancestor had never suffered a great loss due to his relationship with Ronragruk, except that his pride was hurt for always being inferior to him.

In fact, all the birdmen felt an inferiority complex towards the Dragon Race.

Although except Ronragruk they weren't true dragons, just by being allowed to be called like that was a great honor and was easy to obtain the respect of others.

The birdmen were humanoid with wing-like arms that they used to fly, bird-like claws on their feet, and something similar to pecks in their mouths. The rest of them looked similar to the humans, but they felt that needing flapping their arms to fly instead of having the wings in the back like the Dragon Race was far too humiliating.

It wasn't the fault of the Dragon Race that they were like that, but the birdmen were known to be narrow-minded and were looked down by a lot of intelligent species due to that fact and that they acted more like heartless monsters than intelligent beings.

"You should be the leader of the army. I am Yale, the new Demon Lord. I have been residing here temporally and wanted to know the reason for this war."

Yale didn't hope that the other party would go back on his intentions of war, but if they decided to at least let him off for fear of angering the divine beasts of the western continent, Yale could manage to save some people before returning to help.

There was no way Yale could take Ronragruk with him but saving his friends and the young talents before starting the battle would already be a small victory.

"Demon Lord?"

The birdman ancestor seemed shocked by Yale's declaration, but he easily confirmed that the bloodline Yale was emitting was indeed enough to be called Demon Lord by the beasts in his army.

"To think that a new Demon Lord has appeared... You seem quite young, and your power is barely at the Sage Rank. Are you on a trip to improve yourself or something like that?"

Yale had advanced to the Sage Rank recently and only managed to reach the 1-star Sage Rank some hours before the army appeared at their sight.

"Indeed, I have stopped here for some business, and I was about to leave when I saw your army."

Yale was really about to leave soon after the marriage of Shirk and Driwna. The method for improving bloodlines was already established, and there was no need for Yale to do it personally anymore. Yale's group had stopped there for a lot of time, so if the war hadn't happened, they would already be making plans to depart.

"I don't want to provoke the divine beasts of the continent, so... I think that I need to kill you before they notice what I am doing. I don't know what kind of beast you are, but any divine beast will work well as my mount."

The birdman ancestor started to laugh. From the moment he saw Yale's beautiful wings on his back, he had decided to kill him. Moreover, since the birdman ancestor was already a Law God, he didn't fear the divine beasts unless a new Demon Lord appeared, and he felt lucky to have found him before he matured.

"Don't worry. I will end conquering this whole continent one day, and all the divine beasts would be my servants. You don't need to fear to be alone."

Hearing that the birdman ancestor laughed again while saying that, Yale frowned.

"Well said! Our ancestor is the only being who deserve to rule this continent, and after that, we will also conquer the eastern continent and rule this whole world!"

The birdman ancestor seemed quite pleased with those words.

The one who spoke was the king of the Birdman Kingdom and one of the strongest experts of their kingdom. However, his strength was just comparable to that of the chief of the Dragon Race.

"Even worse than I imagined..."

Yale muttered those words before disappearing from his position. Less than a second later he had appeared in front of the king of birdmen and cut his head with a slash of the Space-time Judgment Sword, which cut off any chance of reincarnation.

"DIE!"

Immediately after cutting the head of the king, Yale shouted with all his strength with the Death law infused on his voice. At that moment Yale had the strength of a peak Law Master when using all the Condensed Essences to power up thank to his breakthrough to the Sage Rank.

Before any of the members of the army could react to the death of one of their Law Masters, four-fifths of the army died in an instant.

Yale's voice was still weak to kill those at the Sage Rank, and even some at the Grandmaster Rank with strong souls survived despite having their souls harmed by the attack.

Although four-fifths of the army died, they were all the weakest members, but those weakest members were still dangerous to most members of the Dragon Race who were still in the tribe.

"You... a lowly beast, how dare you to kill my subordinates!"

Before the birdman ancestor had time to finish his sentence, Yale immediately teleported again to Ronragruk's side and deactivated his power-up because his time limit was still at one minute and being in that state without being in actual battle would waste that precious time.

"You were the one saying that would enslave me and the others. You don't have any right to complain."

Yale spoke with an icy voice without caring in the slightest for the great number of lives he had destroyed in an instant.

Ronragruk looked at Yale with delight on his eyes for having chosen to be friends with him because that power of the Death Law was far too scary.

Only one of the Law Masters of the attacking army had died, so the advantage was still on their side, but for the birdman ancestor, who was the commander of the army, that situation was still of utmost humiliation.

He had only brought a lot of troops to show his might and capability to unify the surroundings countries under his power, but with almost all of them dead, even if they eradicated the Dragon Race, it would be difficult to obtain the admiration of the masses.

Moreover, a lot of those who died where birdmen and they called him ancestor because almost all of them were his descendants. He didn't even know their names since there were too many generations between them but having them killed in front of his eyes hurt his pride more than the fact that the surrounding countries wouldn't admire him.

"You are really vicious... However, don't think that by controlling the Space law you will be able to flee. Monsters, show them your work!"

Immediately the space behind the army distorted, and the same happened on all the directions. It was the effect of the combined effort of a lot of sea monsters proficient in the Space Law.

It wouldn't be wrong saying that all the monsters of that kind had worked on that space barrier. In fact, the barrier existed from before the birdman ancestor spoke, but the sea monsters were maintaining it hidden.

"You will never be able to flee! This will be your tomb!"

The birdman ancestor immediately released all his power showing that he was a Law God, which made Yale and everyone in their faction to have a change on their faces.

In the previous situation, although it was difficult, it wasn't impossible to resist until forcing the other party to give up, but against a Law God, the situation was desperate.

The area that the space barrier covered was huge, so it was still possible to move to a different terrain for the battle if they wanted but hiding from a Law God in an area of that size was impossible.

Moreover, the Stealth Stones didn't work with Law Masters, so trying to hide by using them wouldn't work, or they would have done that with the ordinary members of the tribe from the start.
