The War of the Demon Controllers
Pre-Arc the Barbarian Tribe

Chapter 18's

After the mighty barbarian tribe crashed into the formation, all of them scattered in all directions. The Valaan Guard tried to protect the separated servants, but the gap was used by the barbarian tribes to surround and finish off a Valaan Guard.

There are four more.

"Go back and focus on protecting Miss Lagertha!" exclaiming Skard, he raised the sword up high and dispelled the barbarian tribe that was trying to attack him.

The Valaan Guard who heard him immediately returned to position and they were four against fifteen, successfully protecting Miss Lagertha so perfectly.

But, the mighty men of the barbarian tribe with bodies shrouded in smoldering flames like armor changed their strategy.

"Forget this young lady of Valaan!" shouted the mighty man. "I'm Anglar Saxo ordering you to slaughter all the servants!"

"Yes! BANNER!"

All his followers cried out and the entire barbarian tribe hunted down the other servants. The servant who knew his life was threatened, shouted in fear and ran in all directions.

"Please—argh!" An old servant was slashed by an axe as he shouted.

"Yeah! Relax!"

Skard was surprised by this change in the strategy of the barbarian tribe. If they were to face Skard and the rest of the Valaan Guard, then the battle would be fierce and balanced, but if they forced the Valaan Guard to protect the maids while fighting, it would be fierce and balanced, plus the number of more barbarian tribes than them, then the fight will follow the momentum of the barbarian tribe and harm the Valaan Guard.

But risk must be taken and Skard is also anxious for his son who is one of the servants, Isolde.

"Garda Valaan!" exciting Skard. "Save the servants and give hell to this barbarian tribe!"

"Ho!" The Valaan Guard exclaimed and attacked.

While the Valaan Guard attacked the others, Skard maintained his position of protecting Miss Lagertha Valaan. While all the barbarian tribes and the Valaan Guard were running around, the mighty man, Anglar Saxo, did not move from his place.

Anglar raised his big mace and challenged Skard to a duel.

"Skard of the Valaan Guard! The Fire Calm! I challenge you to a duel to the death!"

Skard looked at Lagertha, his nona, and Lagertha nodded.

"Stop him, Mr. Skard."

Skard nodded. Although he was not young anymore, even though his hair had turned white, but his skills were still the same as he was in his youth. He advanced and a calm flame enveloped his sword and body.

"Skard from the Valaan Guard accepts your duel!"

Peace before the storm. They both stared at the opponent closely before attacking. But suddenly Daedalus came slashing at Anglar from a surprising direction.

The Anglar Saxo fended off with a mace, then pushed Daedalus away. Daedalus flew and landed perfectly.

"Who?" ask Skard.

"Friends! I came to help" Daedalus explained.

Skard noticed a man in his twenties, bald and possessing the power of a Demon Borrower. Skard concludes that Daedalus may have been the perpetrator of the Lord Puqress House attack. But it doesn't matter now.

"Give me Anglar Saxo!" Skard exclaims. He pointed at the chaos around. "Go and help others!"

Daedalus nodded and left them.

He came to a Valaan Guard who was protecting a servant. The Valaan Guard was struggling against the three barbarian tribesmen who attacked him from various directions. A barbarian tribe managed to stab him from the back, Daedalus arrived late.

Daedalus slashed one barbarian tribe and tried to help the servant, but the servant had been stabbed by another barbarian tribe.

"What the fuck!" daedalus Maki.

"Strike him!" The barbarian tribe exclaimed.

Daedalus received attacks from two directions, but his movements were shrewd and he was able to slash at one which he then slashed at another one. Three barbarian tribesmen were killed in his hands, but he failed to save a Valaan Guard and a servant.

He looked around and found two Valaanite guards protecting some servants against the eight barbarian tribes. He was about to move to help, but from within the forest had descended Yvonne and the others.

"Give it here to us!" yvonne.

He saw it, there were three barbarian tribes chasing some servants into the forest. He rushed after them.

One barbarian tribe managed to obtain a male servant.

"Though me, I have children."

"Haha!" The barbarian tribe laughed before slitting the servant's throat.

Daedalus arrived late again and he sent the barbarian tribe to the afterlife. "I'm late again!"

There remained two barbarian tribes before him who were chasing two different servants. To his left, there was a servant woman who was shouting for help. On his right, there was an old woman—as well as a servant—who heard the sound of his breathing. Daedalus wasn't sure he could help them, he wasn't even sure he could help anyone.

But Daedalus had to try. He sliced his veins, he whined in pain then said.

"I offer you my pulse and blood, I ask you to fight by my side! Fulfill your vows, rise up and please, Devil Slimonoid!"

Blood soaked the Pomegranate Jewel, the Red Devil Slimonoid manifested before him. Devil Slimonoid immediately darted on the woman on the left.

"Then I take right" murmured Daedalus.

He chased after the barbarian and again he was late to help. The old servant was wiped out by the barbarian tribe.

"Slow again!" keluh Daedalus slashed the barbarians from behind. He failed, but what about the Demon Slimonoid? He looked.

The female servant fell and the barbarian tribe chuckled about to send out the final slash. But the Slimonoid Devil arrived in time and crashed into him.

"The monster!" the barbarian tribe.

He along with the Demon Slimonoid wrestled on the floor. The Slimonoid Devil tried to snatch the sword of the barbarian tribe, but its defense was too strong. But suddenly the Slimonoid Devil melted into trap the barbarian tribe into his slimy body.

Daedalus never knew he could do that. He approached the barbarian tribe that had trapped the Slimonoid Devil. The barbarian tribe shook their heads when they saw the presence of Daedalus with his sword.

"Return" orders Daedalus.

The Slimonoid Devil disappeared and left the barbarian tribe.

"Punish my life, don't!" ask the barbarian tribe.

But Daedalus learned from his mistakes. He won't leave a threat that will slap him like before. Daedalus stabbed and gave him a brief death.

"You all right?" daedalus asked the servant girl. He finally rescued one. He extended a hand. "I'm Daedalus."

The servant girl hesitated, but she finally accepted Daedalus' hand. "Isolde," he said. He was helped to stand by Daedalus. "thank you."

Daedalus smiled.

On the other hand in the battle against Anglar, the situation had already begun to subside.

The eight barbarian tribes that faced the two Valaan Guards and the Yvonne herd were completely subverted. But it ended with two Valaan Guards and all the servants killed.

Now Anglar Saxo remains. It is evident that Skard is a strong opponent to face Anglar Saxo alone.

"It takes another thousand years for you to defeat me, barbarian!" scoff Skard pulled out a tongue.

Anglar Saxo watched around, his body filled with Skard sword hot slashes. He saw his defeat and he saw his death. But he can't just fall, he has to bring as many dead enemies with him as possible.

He saw Yvonne laughing with Yogot and Tael. Yvonne.

"I'm Anglar Saxo of the Saxo Clan! I will die with honor!"

Anglar blurted out. Like a mighty fireball, Anglar galloped down on Yvonne.

"Yvonne dodged!" Tael exclaimed. Yvonne turned her head, but she could not escape. Tael pushed Yvonne and took his place.

Anglar hit hard Tael.

"TAIL!"
