Chapter 381: Brutality of War
"Everyone, get into a V formation!" I say to everyone as I [Jupiter] turns into an axe and I advance with the soldiers.
[Elena, is there any problem there?] Calypso sends a telepathic message due to the change in formation.
[No, Calypso, they just changed their formation...seems like they have a good leader] I say, adjusting the formation of our army to fit the change in the enemy army’s formation.
[I sense something bad, Elena, I think you felt it too, right?] Calypso sends another telepathic message, and hating to admit it, I also sense danger, it seems to be the so-called angels that Pandora spoke of.
However, Pandora also said that most of the [Angels] would be on her side of the attack, with a maximum of 3 angels on our side, which means we only have 3 angels as enemies.
’This whole sacred power is nauseating...if 3 angels can emit all this...the side of Pandora must really be tense...’ Pandora said she will control the nearby angels and make them kill each other because she won’t have time to keep controlling them.
So she will keep only 5 alive and send them to attack the human army while making the others kill each other.
However, the angels that are here because they are too far away are escaping Pandora’s control, so I have to deal with that.
’The sacred element is approaching...it seems they’re going to send an angel...’ I prepare for this, using magic to fly and advancing as I see the troops colliding down below.
Humans and demons fighting madly with deaths reaching thousands quickly as the ground is bathed in the blood of enemies and allies, it’s a shame, but at this level of war, lives will be lost en masse.
"There you are..." I can see a girl in white armor, she has golden eyes and white hair, and her large white wings have a golden halo floating above her head.
But her gaze is empty, like a being made only to obey, the angel quickly sees me and forms a beam of sacred magic that fires at me, but I defend with the axe.
"[Great Meteor Impact]" I use magic to propel myself at extreme speed while [Jupiter] turns into a spear, a white glow covers the sky as this is my trail while I hit the angel directly, who barely defends and is pushed back.
"U-Ugh..." I back off, having received an unpleasant puncture in the stomach, I look seeing the hole, it’s small, but goes from one side to the other and I didn’t see how it was done.
’It’s okay, this wound is nothing as long as I don’t keep receiving more of them’ I see the angel recovering balance and soon casting a magic that fires a rain of sacred arrows.
They are slow, but will fall on the battlefield and cause troublesome damage to my troops.
"[Darkness Prison]" I use darkness magic to form a large barrier around us two, so her attack gets trapped inside, I dodge the arrows that hit the barrier and dissipate.
"Aahrg" I feel an enormous pain when my arms are pierced by something, gaining small holes, again the several holes go from one side to the other and I didn’t see what did it, but it hurts a lot.
’It must be that human’s fault...’ This angel seems focused on long-range attacks, precisely to avoid the corrosion that occurs when coming into contact with me, and could only know this if someone had told them to avoid direct contact.
’The angel is keeping its distance from me...it seems to know it should be careful touching me...I need to make it advance’ I decide to use a specific magic that fits the situation well.
"[Tentacle Trap]" I use this magic I learned from Kaelith and soon tentacles appear, holding the angel who is caught off guard, the tentacles count as part of me, so I start to spread corrosion through the angel’s body that is restrained.
Of course, the angel quickly realizing that prolonged contact is extremely dangerous, does not leave it like this, I am pierced by several attacks that create various holes in my body.
’This can only be an ability...if it were elemental magic, my armor would be able to withstand it, and if it were magic, it would aim at my head’ The blows are never on my head and the holes just appear out of nowhere, but they hit specific points, generally focused on my torso.
"!!!" The angel begins to spin, breaking all the tentacles, and in an instant it is in front of me, it seems to have abandoned the distance strategy and gone for close combat due to the corrosion in various parts.
I receive a huge sequence of punches, but I’m used to this, it’s always been how I fought against stronger opponents, I can’t even keep up with the angel’s blows.
I just cover vital parts and let the angel hit, I can only wait to see if I can withstand receiving all the damage until the angel dies or becomes very weak, or if I lose first and have to spend the power of the ring.
...
...
...
"ATTACK!!!" I shout to the troops who advance against the huge human army in front of us, the magic that hid my troops dissipates as everyone advances.
"Freya, it seems she started and I can’t hold myself here!! I’m going to have some fun too" I say to Freya with a smile.
"Understood Your Majesty, I will do what is necessary" She speaks while I create a giant axe and put Violet inside.
"Hey, Violet, it’s been a while since we had this much fun, right? Are you ready to cut some meat?" I ask.
"Always ready, Pandora!! Let’s make these trash regret! They don’t even deserve to see me, but I’ll make an exception and allow my blade to cut this trash" She speaks arrogantly, but with excitement in her voice.
"Great, then let’s go" I say, and in an instant I advance with everything, passing through our troops and entering the enemy troop, with a swing of the axe I hear the sound of flesh being cut.
This fills me with an addictive pleasure as I make 3 more weapons, a long sword, a spear, and another large axe.
I move like the wind, mowing down bodies wherever I go, leaving a bloody trail everywhere, I hear the screams and sounds of battle as my troops clash against the humans.
The metallic clanging that spreads everywhere along with the sound of falling bodies is easily the sound that propagates the most across the battlefield along with cries of pain.
"Hey, Violet, let’s see how many we can kill in a minute?" I say, feeling that the heroes are in the back, enough time for me to cause damage here on the front line.
"Great! I bet you can’t kill even 10,000 in a minute" She speaks pompously, I quickly advance, decapitating everyone in my path with extreme speed in a straight line.
In fact, my own body due to the resistance acts as a super-fast vehicle, so my body colliding with the humans literally makes them explode in a bloody bubble of flesh and bones while my blades cut anyone within a 3-meter range.
And of course, due to my passives, I become increasingly violent and insane as I see blood and the blood covers my body.
"HAHAHA LESS 7,000 IN 27 SECONDS, VIOLET!" I say excitedly as I pass through the enemy troops, cutting the armor like butter.
The path I followed formed a straight line covered in blood and deformed bodies that even the enemies avoid covering as I just keep advancing.
"Ah...that sound of flesh being ground, it fills me with pleasure" I murmur, reaching the middle of the enemy troops.
"Spatial Fencing First Form [Crescent Moon Cut]" I use spatial fencing with the sword I have, mowing down all the bodies in a 100-meter area, with this range I hear the sound of flesh being torn apart by space along with the metallic sound of armor deforming.
Crescent Moon Cut - Creates a rotating cut that forms a perfect circle, the space within the circle is deformed and then broken.
"Hey, Violet, wanna see something fun? [Bloody Eclipse]" I say without waiting for her to answer, soon using magic I begin to increase the atmospheric pressure around me as I advance toward the soldiers.
Immediately their bodies implode, crushing bones, flesh, and blood, all compressing due to the difference in atmospheric pressure, the instant crack that occurs is so delicious to hear that it increases my excitement.
"17,000 deaths in 1 minute, I won, Violet" I tell her with a smile.
"That’s not fair!! You only killed 9,000 with the weapons, the rest you made turn into those disgusting blood and flesh bubbles!!" She speaks, but I ignore her as I continue advancing towards where the heroes are.
"Are you really going to ignore me? You cursed, opportunistic, and treacherous bitch!! Only a bitch like you would get turned on by seeing people being torn apart! I hope you fuck up too! Cheater! I’ll never bet with you again! You obviously cheated!" She curses me while I just advance, quickly slicing any soldier in my way.
I don’t even know why she says I cheated, to begin with, I never said I wouldn’t use magic, I just bet that I could easily kill many in 1 minute.
’The mask prevents my face from being stained...what a shame, the scent of blood is so wonderful, but I don’t have time to experience it’
My body is covered in blood and chunks of flesh that drip, giving an even more gloomy appearance to the dress and mask I’m wearing, unfortunately the blood that soaks the gloves is slightly irritating, but I won’t waste time using magic to clean the gloves.
’I’m getting to you, heroes, we’re going to have a lot of fun together’ I can only think of this future satisfaction that is so close to me.
