Deltrax now had a small army of Low-grade and Mid-grade demons behind him. Those in the Low-grade are a mix of Iron and Bronze, while the Mid-grades are in Basic or Intermediate Silver. The pure demonic energy he exuded and the look of a majestic demon, with the perfect leathery wings a large muscular body and horns comparable to a javelin. It was easy to deduce that he was the direct heir of a powerful demon king.
While the demon king that he was an heir to has been dead for quite a while, the Scion of such a being was one that demons would be more than willing to serve. To the demons, it seemed like Deltrax was the one who commanded the undead. A powerful demon, opposing his own kind was normal. Without the presence of the Light Church, the Gold-grade demons would have already started killing each other.
Deltrax was born with all the talent in the world, without training this would appear to be wasted but his growth shouldn't be pigeonholed to mere training. Demons grow through the fires of combat, Deltrax as a demon was someone that was made for such a thing. Which is why he didn't even give the other demons the time to think, he attacked the first one that approached him.
With a single punch the two-headed demon flew through a few buildings. With Deltrax cracking his neck right after. "HAHAHA COME ON! There's more of you isn't there? I sensed five High-grades here! Come out to play."
Given enough combat experience, the scion of a demon king could quickly follow in their father's footsteps.
A wave of molten hot lava would approach him, one that Deltrax deflected with one hand. "I don't care if you're the scion of a demon king. You're not a demon king yourself little boy!" A demon with the head of a dragon.
"Well-said Gankriba! Scion this..Scion that! WHO GIVES A FUCK? You're in our territory now little boy and I'm sure that our boss would love to have your head!" Clicking its tongue was an evolved flame demon, with red skin and burning feathery wings.
"Enough talk!" The recovering 2-headed demon spat blood from its mouth. "Nice punch little man, You wouldn't mind if I sent a few punches of my own would you?"
Deltrax, at the Elite Gold-grade is surrounded by a total of 5 evolved demons who are each at Intermediate Gold. In a one on one, there was no doubt in anyone's mind that Deltrax would simply demolish them. But in this scenario, the best he could hope for was to take down one and consume their corpse. 'That way I can steal their demonic energy and recover from the blows.'
Deltrax initially wanted to approach them in a friendly manner, with the plan he had in mind. But upon seeing the face of a demon that was comparable to Gitax, he couldn't control himself. High-grade demons, those that have lived for multiple centuries. They specialize in specific forms of magic or they have distinct combat styles, one way or the other they are those that have grown through multiple battles and through refining their natural advantages as demons.

They were playing it safe, trading with him but quickly pulling their allies out whenever he let out too much energy. Their hope is to drag the battle out, to tire out Deltrax before he could force any of them down. It was a feasible strategy that was proving its effects.
The Two-headed demon is an evolved muscle demon, one that focuses in close-combat. The Dragon-headed demon is a Salamander demon, it had no wings and the lower half is humanoid in nature. The group's leader is an Evolved Flame Demon, one that held the same look and even fighting style as Gitax. With just the three of them alone, holding back Deltrax should have been possible.
But what they didn't account for was the kind of Demon King that Deltrax was the scion to. It wasn't a 5 on 1 in the first place, when the two other demons they had in their ranks were naturally drawn to Deltrax. Deltrax is a demon of Sloth, born from the one known as Belphegor. To the two demons specializing in magic and the art of laziness, Deltrax was a prince that could guide them forward.
"I am not sorry for this!" A demon with the head of an Ant called out.
Chains sprung up from the ground around the salamander demon. Followed by Deltrax swooping straight down to crush its head, with the bits of flesh and blood around him Deltrax stared at the flying flame demon. "You're next!"
The tables turned and the fight would turn into a one-sided game of tag, where if caught only death awaits. The two high-grade demons that joined Deltrax were both demons of sloth, a spellcaster named Vestrid, an insect-headed demon who focuses on magic and charms the other is Thaglezor a earth demon who once served a demon king of sloth. The two of them already decided to ally with Deltrax from the moment they saw him.
With Vestrid's spells and the sheer strength that Thaglezor possessed, capturing the two remaining demons became an easy task. Deltrax would consume the corpses of the fallen demons, adding their arsenal to his own. It was an ability that's exclusive only to demons of high blood purity. Deltrax would reach newer heights, the peak of Gold-grade was near.
"Home to Deltrax, Home to Deltrax. This is Noah speaking, we need you to intercept the demons flying towards the south. I repeat, we need you to intercept the demons flying south." Noah sounded desperate.
As much as Deltrax wanted to continue with fighting the demons in the frontlines, he was well aware of his abilities. As one of the Master's trump cards, Deltrax was necessary in ensuring that the others would survive. "Well then, follow me you two. There's more High-grades to consume down south!"
Deltrax began to whistle, the group that he leads now had two additional Gold-grade demons along with the troops that followed them. 'The Lord will surely be pleased, at this point not even that Vantak fellow can compare to what I've accomplished. Yes..yes..great work Deltrax! That bitch Gitax won't be giving me any side-eyes anytime soon!'
"HAHAHAHAHHA!!" Drunk on power and the thought of gaining even more, Deltrax was flying to the south with a whole lot of energy. Following closely behind him were the two demons that chose to serve under him.
