"TROOPS OF BELLCEPHORA KINGDOM! WE WERE GIVEN A CHANCE! REORGANIZE AND PREPARE DEFENSE! MAKE THEM REGRET THE DAY THEY TRIED TO FOOLISHLY TRAMPLE ON OUR KINGDOM!"
"YES!"
The necromancer commanded, and everyone who was able to straighten their back saluted in unison, even the general and the freshly freed commoners.
The earth magicians got to work and freed their trapped comrades, then they divided back into platoons and companies and applied themselves to the necromancer's command to the accompaniment of the hammer strikes from the other side.
"...my lady, I am glad that you are joining us, but... things don't look that good, do they?"
General Victureo looked over his forces before leaning toward the gold-haired corpse puppet and whispering while motioning with his chin toward the black sky.
There, the occasional bursts of fire revealed the silhouette of an enormous dragon weaving and dodging in the air with a magician on its back.
The monster was clearly on the defensive, and since it was on their side, it could not be good.
"Everything will be okay, young Telorius - because we have my Zo-mi."
Aspakeony shrugged her corpse puppet's shoulders and declared with unwavering certainty.
"Are you sure...? Didn't he... fall...? Will be okay...?"
The general backed off a bit and asked, glancing towards the very top of the wall with a worried expression.
"He will be."
Aspakeony answered decisively and smiled while looking through the eyes of Moxeoni stationed on the other side of the kingdom, having a perfect view of the burst of silver light within the Barbaraicca nation – which was only possible because of Zoemi blowing up the entire mountain range clean.
"He definitely will be~"
She said again in a much softer voice.
*WHOOOOM*
"HUH?"
As if she timed her words to match up with what was happening, at that exact moment, a speck of silver light looking like a bright star broke through the jet-black sky and dispersed the darkness, bringing the sunlight back to the surface.
Out of the Bellcephora side's perspective, it was followed by beams of silver light descending upon the towers spewing darkness.
*^%$#%^$&* *CRACK* *RUMBLE*
The silver light engulfed the structures completely, annihilating every speck of jet-black crystals from existence.
The original star-like existence was none other than Zoemi descending back to the surface after wiping off every trace of Cherro's presence from the Barbariacca kingdom.
"Eh?! Papa?!"
"?!?!"
The green dragon gasped in shock, and the magician on her back was too surprised to even speak.
"..." *WHOOSH*
Zoemi stopped for a second right by them, wiping the jet-black swallow-like spells targetting them from existence with the silently activated law of Sagittarius and following it with instantly healing Kaaraal's wings with the law of Virgo.
"Sorry for making you worry~"
"PAPA!"
He smiled and nodded his head apologetically, making his dragon daughter cry out in relief.
"You...! You fucking idiot! We saw you get stabbed in the head and taken somewhere! Do you know how much I was worried?!"
Kierul managed to regain her voice and used it to scold the black-haired young man.
"Yeah, sorry about that, Kierul. Now, if you would be so kind to peacefully to go back to the Bellcephora side with Kaaraal and tell them that I am only getting rid of the filth's corruption and don't intend to engage in conflicts between nations... and I have to resign from the position of your attendant. Sorry but being in a position of power over me from now on would make your status so high that the second prince would not be allowed to even come close to you, so you know."
"...eh...?"
Zoemi raised his hand and said quickly, leaving the red-haired girl taken aback.
"I will explain things another time. Go."
"Okay!"
"No! Wait...!"
Zoemi smiled cheerfully, and Kaaraal cheered, flying away with concerned Kierul on her back.
"Now then..." freewebnovel.(c)om
"ZOOOOEEEEMIIIIII!"
The black-haired young man sighed and continued his descent while the jet-black-haired woman launched from the ground toward him, spreading jet-black spell-created wings and howling as if going completely mad.
"Haaa... fuck off, filth."
*WHOOOM* *^%@^%*
Zoemi rolled his eyes and scoffed in annoyance, speeding up his descent to the point of becoming a blur and tearing right through the ascending female Cherro with no resistance at all.
*GHAAAAAA*
The burst of silver light finished off the shreds, and the purified mana shrieked in pain instead of the usual sigh of relief before disappearing.
*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM*
"!!!" "GAHH...!"
Meanwhile, just as the ripped body of the jet-balck-ahried woman was getting burnt with the law of Sagittarius mixed up with the law of Aquarius, Zoemi landed right in front of the thuggish-looking possessed and the burly possessed, pushing them away just the shockwave his landing produced.
*GHAAAAA*
Zoemi glanced down at the puddle of darkness and frowned, causing his star powers to get rid of it – which once again released a shriek of pain.
*click* *^%$#@^@*
The black-haired youngster snapped his fingers, and in an instant, within the Atreterve forces, all the artifact carriers were wiped out of existence together with the large magic devices they were carrying, which inadvertently ended up throwing the entire army into chaos.
Around half of the companies on the site were able to fall back orderly, but there were also many of which soldiers started to run away straight up.
"Hmm..."
Zoemi furrowed his brows in concern, looking to the side before pointing his finger in a seemingly random direction and...
*^$%^%$#@*
A pillar of silver light penetrated deep into the ground destroying the device buried there by the thuggish-looking man.
"Wh-WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR!? GET US AWAY FROM HERE!"
The thuggish-looking man, who could not keep his balance and tumbled away while his comrade was merely pushed back, crawled back up and shouted while clinging to the arm of the burly light magician.
"HEY! ARE YOU DEA...!" f reewebnovel.com
*thump*
Since his comrade didn't respond, the thuggish-looking magician grew angry in his panic and forcefully pulled on the burly light magician's arm – which resulted in the headless blood-spewing corpse of the said magician falling to the ground.
"W-what...? Wh-when...? AAAHHH!"
The possessed magician shuddered and cried out in fear when he looked to the side and saw Zoemi staring right at him.
"Z-Zoemi...! I-It's always Zoemi...! Why is Zoemi always messing with my plans...!"
The thuggish-looking magician started trembling more and more, biting hir lips to the point of drawing blood, and as he did, the rest of his brown hair turned jet black – his eyes turned jet-black as well – and he stopped shivering, but began to mutter under his breath instead.
"Zoemi... Zoemi... Zoemi...! Zoemi! ZOEMI! ZOOOOEEEEMIIII! I WILL KILL YOU RIGHT HE...!" *whooosh*
The magician's face twisted horribly, and he started repeating Zoemi's name with increasing animosity until his anger could not be contained anymore, and she reached out his hand to unealsh a sell at the balck-ahried young man with a disgusted expression.
*splurt*
"...hu... huh...?
And yet the movement only caused the blood gushing from the fresh stump to spry around the possessed magician.
"...when... when did you...? ZOOOEEEEEMIIIIII!"
The man cried out as his body trembled, but the fear was funneled into madness as he roared, raising up with an intention to charge at the black-haired menace...
*&#$^%$#&^#$* *GHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA*
...but what he ended up charging into was a castle-sized beam of silver light that evaporated both him and the headless corpse of the burly light magician...
"Hey, Atretervians. If I were you, I would fall back. Your barriers aren't bad, but you might have to face a bunch of cornered and very angered elemental magicians. You still can push all the blame on the piece of filth called Cherro and try to repair the trust between both nations. I mean... You might have your alliance or something, but Barbariacca nation will have their hands full with getting their shit punched by the Heavenly Star Nation..."
Zoemi turned around towards the reorganizing troops of the Atreterve nation and called out to them.
"Actually, you might also be on their shit list if you helped with developing the device that would allow the dead marital artists reanimated by hexes and curses to use star powers... Wow... you are so fucked even without me getting involved! Good luck~!"
*WHOOOOSH*
The young man added and laughed mockingly before disappearing, leaving a trail of thin silver mist in his wake... as well as shattering the will of the Atreterve troops...
