As soon the old man started to undress his upper clothes a strong aura was unleashed and covered his whole body. His muscles were started to get bigger and his veins started to appear then he form his purest mana into a dark indigo ball and throw it into the barrier. As it touches the barriers it glows though it was not destroyed, but it is a success considering that the barrier glowed, it means it was affected to it somehow.
I also commanded the magician to cast their magic at a location where the old man throws his spirit ball. As they follow my command the barrier glowed continuously as the concentrated mana was thrown into the barrier then the old man summons his pet kagiro, a large red mantis with having two sharp blades on its hands and told the mantis to use it claws to attack the specific area where they hit it before.
The barrier shows a reaction every time the spot where everyone hit on was targeted. Though the warriors can't still use their sword or their techniques because the electric bolt are still active as we tried an animal before and throw it on the barrier like rabbit to test whether we can touch it or not, but the rabbit was toasted so we opted to use the soldiers and warriors.
I could not also summon my spirit pet because it is a water type so it is render useless with an electro forceful field as an opponent.
it’s been three days since we've been doing this and the barriers started to have cracks, but since all of our magicians need to recharge their mana and the old man also needs rest and that what makes the time we spent on breaking it longer though we already expected it, but in actuality it was still disappointing since we used our time by doing nothing.
As I ask the old man, when will it be done, he told me that it will be less than 24 hours since the process was faster than what he expected so I was relieved as I heard it then my gaze turned towards the tower.
As I look at the tower, it always gives me a sense of weariness since I can't explain what my gut is telling me so I just brushed it off.

But as I turned to where my tent is the unexpected event happened, the barrier suddenly was gone and we all stunned as we saw the creatures descending from the tower coming forward.
It's a group of beast race, the leader has a tiger body but walks Like human and he has big ball necklace hanging on its neck with an unknown writing appears inside, and most of them are a monster we never have seen before, they have an awful form with high-class equipment both on their possession.
I smiled for the thought that I will finally use my power now and will not idly waiting.
“Everyone, gather yourself and prepare for the attack” “I yelled and turned to see everyone started their formation since most of us are warriors we have the time to form ourselves.
“Human, we came her not to start a battle but to asks you and negotiate" the tiger leader like speaks with authority.
"And if we do not comply?" I replied.
"Then we don't have a choice but to kill you".
"hahaha,!!! what a funny joke you have said there? Can you finish us? We outnumbered you and how you can speak like that when you have only a fewer members?" I boisterously yelled.
'Then we really don't have a choice but to defend this area, if you will step within the boundaries then we will kill you". The tiger man said to me while he throw his pearl necklace in the air and draw a lining that set as a boundary and all of his comrades ready their stances while the pearl necklace is floating on top.
They have only 15 people and we have all over 5,000 soldiers and adventurers. How absurd when he said that they will negotiate?
I ordered the first battalion to move forward followed by the infantry, it may be overkill, but I don't care what others will say about it. What I need right now is a good result so; I can have a good report for the king.
But as I lost in thought I heard a scream and I was terrified by what I saw ahead. The soldiers that I’ve sent were killed by the 15 beasts as if they just do it with ease.

“all adventurers use your skill and for the magicians used your buffs for us and cast a wide range magic for them to scatter so we have a chance to kill them." I relay the message to Leo and all of them heard it through telepathy, one of his innate skills.
As the message being delivered to everyone, the adventurers started to use their skills and advance forward but I miscalculated everything since the beginning. I know I've been thinking rush for my decisions since I am a hot-blooded person.
I act as I please that's why it resulted to countless dead bodies on the battlefield.
As the adventurers advance, they were mercilessly killed by the beast race as they swung their swords and fist to kill everyone on their sight. The grounds were covered with blood and shattered body pieces that if you don't have a strong stomach you will be able to puke.
"Those guys were not ordinary," the old man said to me.
"Why did you say that, sir kagiro? The tiger beast clan was weak compared to our power," I turned towards the old man.
"As you can see, they look different from their normal appearance and based on their weapons.it is not ordinary and it was made in high-quality magic materials." the old man said
I just cursed in silent as I saw some of the men fighting. I can't still go on with them since as a battalion commander I still need to give orders and make tactics so, I can't get to fight.
The old man cannot help us at the moment since he still recovering from the mana depletion, and most of the magician used their mana in casting spells a while ago at the barrier so they can't use healing magic also.
My head is going to burst as I could not think of any solutions that I've caused and then I remember what the other party said that if we will step inside their territory. So if we will not step inside the specific area then they will not attack. Yes, that would be it.
"Leo tells everyone alive that they need to retreat and come back at the base immediately."
As I saw everyone moving back from the area, the beast clan stop and did not attack any further, true to what they said that whoever pass inside they will be killed.
From the 5,000 members now were down to 3500, and most members that died were soldiers but as I turned inside my tent because I have something to discuss with the team leaders, I heard the voice calling for help and shouting.
“ahhhhhhhhhhhhrrrgggggg!!!!!!!!”
“helllllpppppppppppppppppppp!!!!!”
“as I turned towards the commotion, I saw the soldiers were dyed in red and were fatally killed as they filled with holes all over their bodies then I saw at the sky, a dark circular smoke gathered around and was enough to cover the area where the soldiers rest then a crimson colored droplets fall from it. As it touches the skin of the person it melts and made a hole even the armor is useless to protect from it.
What the fuck, as I saw who cause this magic, I saw a Minotaur but the appearance is close to a human with no horns and instead of an ax he holds a staff and a magic circle appeared on top of it and that’s the cause why this acid blood rain was pouring down to the soldiers.
“Run, as fast as you can,” “shitt!!!!! Magicians cast a barrier on top of the soldiers, faster” I yelled at the magicians who were also shocked at what happen.
As they heard my voice they hurriedly cast a barrier but still cannot protect the entire army since they don’t have enough mana.
“Humans, how dare you tried invade us!!!? And because of this you angered our master so in return you will be punished”. A human looking who has a fancy armor with a striking aura appeared suddenly.
After that, the human looking person appears suddenly in front of us then in a single word he said a huge obelisk from the abyss appeared in the sky and the one-eyed demon that I only heard from the legends appeared.
