Arc of Redemption [2]
The army was growing bigger and bigger. One could sense the tension in the air. Their presence felt dangerous like at any minute they can engulf you into the never ending void. neither their physical appearance wasn't much a of a pleasure. A black fog grew around them like a cape. Their teeth clattered even though their jaws weren't exactly shaped. Chares already left the scene "fucking trash" Neiler barked as he swung his sword. His arrogance made him underestimate the creatures. Before he could do anything the dead swarm around his flesh biting them. physical damage from the sword was nothing to the dead. The others ran of fear but luck decided to turn blind this time. A long Veil grew from the sky. It was beautiful yet terrifying. Towards the end of the veil touching the soil it was blood red in colour. They knew the escape was impossible. The General looked around the land among 300 of their troupe more than 200 perished during the fight with the dead and lighting. "No.. we have to get out of here somehow" Neiler raged "may the heavens bestow upon us, holy trinity bless me with the souls of my perished men for i shall remain forever indebted". among the imperials the hymn of trinity was used and passed by the warriors. it allows the one to obtain the power of heavens for once. Neiler who was ready to blow the dead was, suddenly stopped. It wasn't just the prince. The General, The high council soldiers and the imperial knights all felt it. before them wad a astonishing figure. She had white hair, grey lips, void black eyes that reminds of death itself. But something was wrong. Even in histories deities was mentioned as calm and composed despite their terrifying presence. But this-This was different She had blood in her hands Her expressions raged. A Normal person would have screamed and panicked at this monstrous site. Behind her was 2 wolves of enormous size. She squinted her eyes and the wolves barged in. The knights who fought their hardest only managed to put a scratch on it. "There's - there's no scape" The General kneeled in fear and panic. The remained less than 50 people stared at the distorting sight of the wolves tearing down the heads of the soldiers . It was coming towards them at a faster rate. But it was then the general realised something "The enemies... could it be?" He decided to take a leap of faith. it was the blood that gave up the clue. At that moment the general realised thw enemies that ran away never made it alive. They were slaughtered just like us. Unlike the powers the summoners like wolves doesn't have mana running through them. they'll lose it eventually and perish. In that place the wolves were the bigger threat. "EVERYONE DISPERSE TO DIFFERENT SIDES" As long as the wolves are around the power won't do anything. None of them had any reason to not listen in a life or death situation except of course the prince as everyone dispersed Neiler raged
"I'm the one In charge you have no authori-" In that moment a bunch of sharp canines bite down the neck of Neiler before he could finish the sentence
"GHHHHHAAEEREDEERRRRRRRRRRRRR" The wolf screeched. The General fell back. Helpless and scared. emotions ran through him l. But luck was on his side. As the wolf approached nearer and nearer it slowly started dissolving. "The mana- Its Mana is draining" the general thought to himself. Before he knew the figure distorted into nothingness. A sign of hope and relief grew in him. "If only the other one too will perish then it'll be just the power to negotiate with if it was possible" He spoke to the high councellor who came near him. He waited for a few seconds but the second one showed no sign of perishing. "AAAWOWOOOLLLLLLLLLLL" it howled as it charged the remaining. The last few seconds was the site of a creature tearing down the beings from head to toe causing massacre. He could see the blood of the devoured in its teeth dripping.
"Is this the end?" He thought to himself but that's when something caught his eye. The Sword. It was lying in the open ground about 15ft away from the demon. "Can i do this... can i-" He stood his ground lowering his head. It was only a 50ft difference between him and the wolf. He ran towards the fallen sword. But he underestimated the intelligence of a creature like that. It marched right infront of it putting his monstrous paws on top of it. "This is the only chance i can have-" A sneak attack he sensed a danger right around the corner and he was right. He took a knife from his armour and stabbed between its nails. its not much but it was a distraction. He grabbed the holy sword, caught on to its tail taking a leap with it before it knew, he was above the creature "Pray the heavens stand beside me" and with all his might he cut straight down its head with blood splashing all over. It wasn't over, The goddess is yet to make a decision and if - if the power herself decides to stand against then there's no more escape its all over. "There's one thing i can do" '
