Chapter 693 The forces of evil
[OP: ]
The city was starting get covered in flames, a stench of blood, notices of giants walking around the city roads while shaking the very earth they stepped on.
Clashing metal noises, spells being fired everywhere, the destruction of the properties, and the the screams of the disgusting looking demonic creatures, had filled the streets.
-Booooooooooom!
Inside the city, six battlefields had been created, two large ones on the southern part of the city, and four isolated ones on the other end of the city.
-Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
There evil had revealed their true selves, their completely black eyes, pale skin, and near lifeless bodies were roaming the cities along with the creatures of the underworld, creatures comparable to the (Indigo) ranked creatures of nature, however, there was one thing distinct about these filthy beasts that made them differently from the pure energy bests of nature.
"Khaaaaaaaa!"
"Disgusting creature."
-Snap!
-ZAAAAA!
They carried demonic blood and upon their deaths, the blood that splashed all around the ground, would start corrupting the entire area if not taken care of with the holy and divine power. Or a power of equal properties as these powers.
-Saa. Re-ga. Re-ga. Mama-mma-mma-mma~!
And, that was being taken care of by the arrow of lights that flew from the highest point of this city.
The force of resistance that were fighting against the enemy demonic human forces were dominating these beasts, the golem created with the corrupted blood of these creatures as their base, and technology so advanced without proper understanding of their work, it was impossible to deal with these beings… thankfully, the force of resistance had many experts that were more than talented enough to understand this futuristic tech and use their own understanding of the magic and engineering to find out their weaknesses that could destroy them at a mere snap of a finger, and of course, a powerful force.
-Booooooooooom!
Battles were going on inside the city, and the forces of resistance were all led by a few powerful close combat masters like Emperor August, the hero knights of different countries, and the very President of this country, master Maverick.
They were accompanied by the support units that were supposed to assist them deal with the foe, take care of the damaged areas and save the citizens that were deep in sleep due to the melodious music of the grand harp playing from the top of this city.
There were 'extra' units with them who had specific task assigned to them by the player of that grand harp…
-Boooooooooom!
The were very important to this mission since they knew their opponent was no mindless fools that would just take their beating without any counterattack.
They were smart people, geniuses who had been staying among the common people in a city that was said to have been blessed by the divinities.
"Kugh! I will create a path. It is code red. Rely the message to the command units. There was a beach of information. We are under attack-"
-Swish!
"You ain't the only ones under attack, bitches."
-Boooooooom!
On one of the battlefronts, the witch of north was freezing her opponents to death, shredding their bodies in pieces with her unblockable attacks, cutting down the demonic creatures and the expert demonic humans accompanying them without mercy.
"This side is clear, malady! You can advance forward! I will engage these bastards!"
Some of them had strong regeneration powers or the counter of her ice skills so they were like cockroaches that weren't settling down event though she was using her stronger magic powers, however, the dwarf worrier with her was able to stop these people in their paths with his excellent axe handling abilities.
-Ree. Gaa-ma-pa-dhhh~. Niiiiiii~.
And the arrows of lights that came out of nowhere were providing deadly blows to the opponents while simultaneously providing healing and ability boosts to the allies.
The melodious, harmonic music that was echoching all throughout this land was so powerful and heartshaking that even just hearing this sound made the demonic humans feel a weird sense of restlessness.
It was affecting their demonic energy and their connections with their contracted demons, which, in turn, was making them feel awkward even during their fights.
-Boooooooooooooom!
They were making all kinds of mistakes because of this, and, since all of their bases were being attacks at once, they had no way of forwarding the information of the ambush to their superiors.
It was strange how they were able to get all the information about their plans and plan out a detailed attack strategy so precise that they were even blocking the separate units that were scattered all around the city area.
They couldn't understand how this was happening, however, this was only delaying their plans a little bit.
'Casualty report, Lucy.'
[[ *122 people have died to the demonic humans until now, 202 to the demonic creatures on the eastern and western side combined, and the golem has crushed a underdog and two people until now.* ]]
However good they might be, however thoroughly they might have prepared to counter their forces, they couldn't stop the inevitable.
Still, there were hundreds of thousands of lives stil at risk right now.
They couldn't stop until they had crushed them.
-Saa-Ree-Saa-Ree-Saa-Gaa-Gaa-Maa~! Paaaa~!
The melody that was slow and sweet was slowly turning into faster and fiercer as if the mood that had been on the calmer side until now was getting darker with each passing moment and musical note.
The player, the musician was expressing this sorrow and grief, the anger that was directed towards his own incompetence, the rage towards the ones who caused this, was all flowing out of his fingers, onto the strings, and then out of the strings in the form of magical arrows with various effects that flew faraway to their locked destinations all across the city and beyond.
His eyes were closed, however, his third eye was above the city, looking at each and every thing that happening at the moment, and, if needed, Celes' clones were also roaming all across the battlefields, observing, looking out for the others in case they needed her help in any way.
He was doing what he had to to prevent them from killing more people. He was killing the scattered ones around the city with his stronger arrows, or at least were marking them for the forces who were strong and swift enough to deal with them.
Many of the strong people also had strong and special familiars, so, they were helping out on different tasks as well, most of which were being carried out of the walls of the city… the places where major battles were being fought.
-Ting-ting-ting!
-Swiiiiiiiiiish~!
-Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
"To think I would see the 'death dance' of the so called bloodthirsty witch… I thought this would be more bloody, but this is practically a one sided massacre."
-Boooooooooooom!
"Well, she is as good as her grandfather, the 'reaper of the battlefield'. Just a few more years and she might even surpass him."
-Swiiiiiiiiiiish~!
-Dhum. Dhum. Dhum. Dhum. Dhum. Dhum.
Rein was dancing at the music that was reaching all the way to them.
She was dancing with the beats, the music that was echoing all throughout the forest, with her EFMW in the form of a scythe, like a ballerina perfeorming the best performance of her lifetime.
Just that her performance was causing the deaths of the creatures and the demonic humans instead of earning her admiration and appreciation from the onlookers. Her own companions being exceptions, of course, however, she did not know that.
She was lost in the music, she was dancing like a free spirit, it was almost like she had devoted her entire being to this special music filling the space around her.
She loved this, they can tell. And, the way her precise cuts and swings were splattering blood of the enemy that shone under the clear moonlight, it almost seemed like she was covered in stars…
"Hump. Fucking bastard… I can play violin as well."
"Playing a musical instrument and playing a relic with a high Ego that requires the relic's permission for one to even touch it, are completely different things, Cradle."
"Hump."
-Boooooom! Booooooom! Booooooom!
-Booooooooooom! Booooooooooom!
-Boooooooooooooooooooooom!
"Bastard…"
The forest was burning.
Some of it was destroyed.
Some of it was obliterated completely and only a flatland was left in the place where it used to be a green forest.
-Swiiiiiiiiish!
In some places, the trees had all vanished, in some other places, only the chopped trees and their fallen remains had remained.
-Booooooooooom!
It was hullabaloo all over this forest, and far away in the distant villages that were fast asleep from the mystical music that was magically reaching even them.
Monsters were roaming the once peaceful city, blood covered the alleyways where children used to play until moments ago, evil was walking around the empty streets… smell of death was in the air.
The stench of corruption was also becoming the reason for the increasing death count.
-Saa-Ree-Gaaa-Maaa-Paaaa-Dhhhhh-Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii~! Saa.
He was doing his best to purify any and all areas with these corrupted blood as he can, however, it wasn't possible for him to catch up with the speed of the the increasing amount of corruption in his current state.
He wasn't strong enough.
He was not yet, strong enough.
-Boooooooooooom!
People were dying.
-Zaaaaaaaaaaa…!
His comrades were getting hurt with each passing second.
-Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
He was trying his best, pushing his limits, but still… innocent lives were being lost with each passing moment.
Lives that, most probably, no one will remember after this night was over.
-Boooooooooooooooom!
He wasn't competent enough.
They were following him, but, if only was a little strong, a little sharper with his predictions, even just a little more proficient with the powers, resources, skills, knowledge he possessed… perhaps a few more people could have been saved.
Perhaps… things might not have come to this in the first place.
If only he was stronger…
-Saaaa… Reeee… Gaaaa…
-Maaaaaa…
-Paa-Dhaa-Niii!!!
-Saaa…
…
[[ "I have captured the bar manager, everyone." ]]
…they might have known their evil intentions before catching one of their stronghold captains.
