Chapter 153 Darka's Hidden Talent!
-DOMM!
Darka and his fifteen faithful subordinates formed their ranks while being covered in blood but strangely, they showed no hint of fatigue. Their purple pupils that were like mirages or a reflection in the water were also placid and cruelly threatening as the look of the god of chaos!
They faced the second wave of beast emperors while corpses of dismembered beasts lay behind them as far as the eye can see with impassive looks that were devoid of emotion but filled with unprecedented cruelty.
As always, Darka who stood in front of them pointed his long sword toward a beast with the appearance of a werewolf with a starting pose; his right leg slightly bent behind him using it as support to gain momentum while his long sword was like a spear but with his right palm on the pommel of his sword while he held his wrist firmly with his left hand to maintain the balance of his body
-Swooosh!!
His shadow remained behind him for a second while he himself made his way through the horde because of his lightning speed that gave Alvine the impression that he had gotten rid of his shadow. Apart from Sylvia even Liliana had trouble keeping up with Darka's speed.
They had still not used their skills, but their speed and the massacre that Alvine thought would slow down had only accelerated.
Slash
They killed emperor beasts as if they were dolls frozen in time and space. Apart from the three stars, namely the ruthless girl, the shadow who used a scythe, and Noddra himself, the others were not lagging behind either, they did not let themselves be preceded by their colleagues under any circumstances!
The only shadow soldier who had still not started anything was the so-called lazy mage who had not yet moved, to the point of making Alvine furious against him.
"Oh my god! This simulation is so realistic. If we had these kinds of soldiers with us, we wouldn't have to worry about this war." Liliana exclaimed in shock after witnessing such massacres.
"..." Noddra's expression became red but solemn at the same time. It was so contradictory that it became unrealistic. The reason was that he was embarrassed because of the words of his Highness but thinking himself that what was happening before him was real, his jaw trembled several times not knowing how to explain the current situation to the queen.
"Hmm, but this beast looks like two drops of water to the divine beast that caused us more headaches during our first war. Sigh, fortunately, this monster no longer exists." She continued without noticing Noddra who was becoming redder and redder until his ears of shame.
*AHEM, your Highness, this is not a simulation, but an ongoing battle that takes place in the forest hundreds of kilometers from us; according to Lord Dragnar. * He finally succumbed to shame by announcing her by telepathy.
*Eh? What does this mean? Alvine clearly said that it was a simulation. Why would he lie to me about something so important? *
*Sigh, I think it's because he wants to focus on the current battle. In any case, if I may, I will explain it to you in detail later. But you should rather focus on how to explain previous events to him. I know I must not say that, but with all due respect, my queen, you must not take our customs lightly. I hesitated at first to know if it was a good idea but now, I'm sure, he is worth it to you. So don't linger too much on it. Without your explanation, nothing will advance; he still does not know why I address him with honorary titles that are given only to the kings of our race. It's a bit embarrassing to address him this way while he thinks I was doing all this for your well-being. * Noddra, who was supposed to explain her, current events... Had turned away from the path and announced what he had in his heart in the end.
"Urgh, you know how to use words just when it suits you." She says these words aloud capturing the attention of Alvine and Sylvia unintentionally. "Eek! I speak alone, don't pay attention to myself." She urgently justified herself when she saw Alvine's questioning look.
'Sigh, I don't know if she likes to chat unnecessarily or if she's just crazy. I can't identify this girl's personality, no matter how much time I spent with her.' Alvine concludes briefly in his thoughts before focusing her attention on the ongoing battle.
But Sylvia was the only lucky one who could read everyone's thoughts including the little discussion between the queen and Noddra; hence the reason for her mischievous smile. 'My poor lady Rina, I wonder the expression you will have when you learn of the revenge I have prepared for you for locking me up in the castle for millennia. I would make sure to bring as many girls back with us as possible, be sure that, I won't let you get out of it as easily. Wanting to monopolize him is the worst decision you have been able to make even though you know its nature.' She said to herself with bubbles of excitement and impatience that burst in her stomach.
-ROARR!
The thunderous roar of the Wyvern that had remained stand-by from the beginning resonated throughout the forest followed by an earthquake at magnitude 10 that was larger than the earthquake than the most powerful earthquake ever recorded in the history of planet earth; fell on the forest of the planet Kelspies. The trees and dozens of emperor beasts closest to him had not been able to survive the power of his aura and trembling at the same time.
"I am surrounded only by the incapable!" He thundered looking with contempt at all those who were in front of him. Alvine's men and his own subordinates.
His shiny scales suddenly lit up with a scarlet glow as he prepared a breath of burning fire.
-Wrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
After only a short moment, Alvine was dizzy! Because of the phenomenal loss of energy he had just suffered by a single breath from the Wyvern. 'By the Pope's beard! He made me lose more than twenty percent of my energy by a single attack on his part! Were divine beasts still so scary?!' He exclaimed inwardly when he saw the burning hell that had just come out into the mouth of the Wyvern.
But his astonishment was nothing comparable to the face of the shock of Noddra and Liliana.
Is it a real battle? If so, then who are these people who didn't seem to be normal beings? And why does a Wyvern that is stronger than the previous Wyvern appear in the forest? He is not a problem but I strongly doubt that he is the only one. The situation couldn't be worse than that!' She stammered these words for herself by looking at the inexpressive faces of others. 'Apparently, I was the only one who did not understand the seriousness of the situation.' She continued.
The reason she was convinced that the Wyvern was not the most powerful among her invaders was related to her intuition. 'During the first great war, the Wyvern was the master map of the beasts that had only come out once the war was at its peak. But seeing him at work when we have just started the war is only possible ss because of the order of a superior who had ordered him.' She concludes.
-Plop, plop, plop...
After the burning embers, the ten shadow soldiers who had not had time to avoid the attack of the Wyvern began to regenerate from scratch. Three seconds, it took them only three seconds for them to return to their original states!
"..!!" The indescribable reaction of Liliana and Noddra resurfaced in the presence of this.
'Their regenerations are faster than when the monarch fought with them by his side, why?' Sylvia wondered with a frown.
Darka who had avoided the attack of the Wyvern handily gave a kind of signal by raising his sword that was impregnated with the flames of Gehenna towards the sky.
His action would surely go unnoticed by others, but not by Alvine who shared a link with them. He himself was suddenly affected by Darka's murderous intention, which had just exploded like a bomb. He was not overwhelmed by fear, but rather it was the thirst for the Darka slaughter that itched him and gave him the impression that he would lose his head if he did not join them to participate in the Barbarian festival.
"Calm down, master." Sylvia placed her hand on her shoulder while she let flow some of her primordial energy that was intimately connected to her concept in her master's body when she noticed the brutal aura that was beginning to come out into Alvine's body by loss of control.
"Huff... thank you, little Sylvie." He replied briefly by placing his hand on Sylvia's. Even if Sylvia's aura caused him unimaginable pain, he had not changed his expression. He knew it was necessary to keep control.
As Darka communicated with his squad with unknown words, they all became like beings burning in the black flames of purgatory! One after the other, Alvine could see her reapers using their skills.
Darka's shadow, which could not differentiate itself from his own body swayed and let out about twenty shadow crows that were more numerous and faster than last time.
Caw! Caw!! Caw!!!
The crows dispersed from the moment they went out in the shadow of Darka, and went straight to the magic beasts without worrying about the Wyvern while Darka himself was like a black flash in front of them!
'What?! Can he use this skill while fighting at the same time?! What is this inconceivable spiritual power?' Alvine exclaimed internally when he saw something he had never thought possible until now. Normally, Darka definitely had to remain in the dimension to massacre the souls who will be sent by the crows. But why could magical beasts no longer wake up when they are touched by crows through their shadows? Alvine could not understand this anomaly by watching Darka continue her massacre by being in the real world while her crows were also killing!
But he had not had time to dwell on this mystery, for the ruthless girl who had a large sphere of blood like a miniature sun suddenly let the bloody sphere hit the ground that immediately spread to the ground like a small lake under her feet forming a kind of domain.
Splash!
Daggers flew everywhere and aimed at the stained glass organs of emperor beasts that were inside this strange domain. In just a second, she had taken the lives of the twenty magical beasts in an instant. The worst thing was that the pool of blood followed her regardless of her speed and she always stayed in the middle of the small lake that was ten meters from the radar!
The shadow with the Scythe was by no means late in several butcheries. His handling of the scythe even made Alvine envious not to mention that the size of his scythe had significantly increased by more than five meters but despite everything, he handled it as if it were a simple stick.
'I now understood why Darka and the others did not use their skills, it's because they patiently waited for the right time to do so. I can't believe that Darka, who doesn't have too much common sense, is so good at strategies. Even if it may be a coincidence, it's so successful that I shiver with admiration and respect for this non-chatty guy.' He concludes with this sudden awareness that hit his brain hard.
'There is too much for it to be a coincidence, the timing is too perfect for this hypothesis. If that happens, it is rather me who had not yet discovered Darka's hidden talent. If my hypotheses are true, then this Wyvern will die in his hands; I am sure and certain.' He concludes by sipping his wine with perplexed feelings.
But Alvine and the others were not at the end of their surprises. Because a greater surprise awaited them all and that will be beyond their expectations!
