Chapter 41: A battle through Hell itself ~The Final Battle: Part 1~
"THE WINNER AND NEW QUEEN OF GAINOS! ALL HAIL QUEEN ALDRA!"
"ALL HAIL QUEEN ALDRA!"
How long... How long has it truly been? I remember nothing and everything at the same time... Visions dance inside my mind... But there is one that lays bare and brands itself into my eyes... The face of that man... That Demon. Delmore appeared to me one day as I felt lost and afraid for my dare sister was missing. A voice told me non stop to run... As the cry of baby was heard echoing through my ears with that voice. Who are you? Who are you? Who are you? Those questions keep rooting itself farther into my mind... I should know this... This person's voice, her face and touch made me calm with ease. Who are you?
You know who she is.
I don't...
Yes you do.
This discussion only goes nowhere everytime I think of it... Who are you?
Who are you?
Me? I'm... Aldra... A housewife to my dear husband.
No... WHO are you? What are you?
Aldra... I am Aldra... Who are you?
I am Aldra.
Strange... This feeling is... Familiar... This is my blood.
Our blood... Underworld blood that we were given...
Given from her... Our mother...
Yes... Do you remember?
I awoke to the women from the church who was looking after me... Then my body began to move... Everything was warping into twists and turns but my feet kept walking... Darkness only covered my vision as I could only hear the sounds of a baby crying but I could hear the sounds of a demon roaring. Light took my vision from me until I saw the outside... The Swamp... I could feel something was there right in front of me...
"ALDRA!"
"LADY ALDRA!"
"PLEASE WAIT!" Three voiced called out to her as she finally snapped out of her daze. Right in front of her was the view of the Swamp, the darkness from her magic rising every single second.
"What are you doing out here?!" She turned around slowly to face the tree of them, but their expressions held their fear. Melpha covered her mouth, but the other two gripped the handle of their swords.
"Aldra... Do you...?" Leina asked about to unsheathe her sword.
"Yes..." She answered as tears began rolling down her cheeks. "I remember..." She answered placing a hand on her head. "I used to be Queen of Gainos thanks to the power of Delmore, but it was due to him I lost my little sister...!" She tighten her fist as blood started to seep out. "My mother made us run away and took our newborn baby brother somewhere else..."
"Your brother?" Melpha asked her.
"Yes." She nodded. "However, I can't remember anything else beyond that. I know my body carries the blood of the underworld."
"Just like Annelotte and Eli." June commented. "Anything else?"
"No... I apologize."
"MADAM!" Both the demonic stuffed dolls came out from the top of fortress to her side. "We've been looking for you!"
"You suddenly disappeared out of nowhere."
"Belphe... Dogor." The former Queen spoke causing them to shake in fear. "We are going to battle against the Swamp Witch, if you plan on crossing us... I will personally kill you." She told them as she walked past the demons and up to the King. "May I please take back my blade?"
"Are you sure?" She asked making the Demonic sword appear in her left hand. "I'm kinda afraid this will cause some bad memories for you."
"I'm not afraid, not anymore." The Nephilem handed her weapon as she took it with grace, holding the blade up as she gained a nostalgic feeling to it. "We are nearing the Swamp." She told them looking down at the land. "I will prepare myself. Belphe, Dogor, come." She commanded making the two follow.
"Those two have a wicked aura..."
"Trust me, I know." Her husband told her. "I don't trust those bastards for a single second."
"Come, let's get some rest in the mean time." All three of them walked back inside, but the King continued to stare out to the wild. She couldn't help but have a smirk on her face before using her finger like a gun and shooting at the castle.
"See ya tomorrow." She went back inside with the others, wanting to get enough sleep as possible. On the other side of the fortress, The Swamp Witch was busy gathering up her army, seeing thousands upon thousands of demons in front of her throne.
"My Lady, I have counted and with one hundred percent certainty that the Rebellion will be demolished." Mime told the Swamp Witch who only held an unsatisfied look to her face. "My Lady?"
"It would be wise not to break the Swamp Witch's concentration." A chill and calm voice told her, causing her spine to tingle. Looking behind her, she saw one of the 9 Knights of Hell with his arms crossed. His steel armor was frozen as his breath seeped out of his helmet. On his back he wielded a massive blade made of ice, powered by the sins of betrayal. "She is deep in thought of the War tomorrow."
"I-I see..."
"Mime," The Swamp Witch spoke not even looking at her. "Where is Airi?"
"S-She's checking on the process of your new body, My Lady." She answered in fear only to receive a strange but gentle feeling on her head. It her was hand before taking it back as she tapped her fingers on her throne. "I-Is there anything else, My Lady?"
"No. Get some rest... You are of no use to me when you're tired."
"Yes, My Lady." She bowed before exiting the room, leaving her with the Knight.
"We are ready to serve you, Mistress." The Knight bowed to her as she continued to glare in front of her. "My men are ready aswell."
"I will let you in on a warning," Her tails silthered towards the Knight's neck before it spiked up almost dealing a killing blow. "If you so ever fail or betray me and I will make sure your death is more painful than they will ever deliver." Her eyes glared at her pawn before taking back her tail and continued to look in front of her. "Aldra, Annelotte, Elijah... Her kin have grown strong in such a short time."
"And what of the King?"
"The Son of Michael and Anna... He is truly troublesome." She gripped the arm rest of her throne. "I will never forgive how he was able to take away my curses. He has many tricks up his sleeve, so it's best if we take him out quickly."
"I will have three of my men take his life, when they do..."
"His head will be my trophy."
The knight snapped their fingers as three pairs of foot steps came behind him. "Prepare yourselves... A battle will begin shortly."
"Yes, Master." One of them answered before turning away.
Soon, the morning came with everyone lined up and ready... June rested her hands on the helt of her sword, being stabbed on the ground. Everyone could barely breathe as they saw the army in front of them... "That's... A lot..." Yuit gulpped before making a quick prayer.
"That only makes it more fun." Shizuka smiled.
"Captain," Eli pointed to a section of Queen's Knights he commanded. "Looks like they've got all the help they can get."
"I can't believe we've been commanding demons for so long..." Elina felt sick thinking of it. "Eli, are you sure you can fight?"
"Don't worry, thanks to you I'm in tip top shape." The youngest of the Vance family blushed before grinning. "Ready?"
"This will be a fight unlike any other we've faced before." Annelotte glared at the army in front of her.
"Knowing them they will have the last 6 Knights on their side." Sigui felt a cold sweat on her brow.
"Nothing we can't handle." Echidna smirked. "We've killed 3 of them so far, we can kill the rest." The Wild Elf spun her weapon playfully then catching it.
"Are you ready, Claudette?" Leina asked her sister who smiled.
"Being able to fight with my family by my side once again, I could not wish for anything more."
"I'm by your side, Lady Tomoe!" Izumi puffed out her chest while gripping the sheathe of her katana.
"Show me what you've learned through your journey, Izumi." Tomoe smiled while also unsheathing her katana, the beautiful light revealing itself once more.
"We'll have to take out as many as we can." Irma gently touched the scar on her cheek before taking out her blades.
"It does seem that way..." Nyx stared at the endless army with a cold sweat escaping from her. "But I have faith we can win."
"We will." Melpha told her, standing by her side with a smile. "There's nothing we can't do."
"God will guide our way through this hell." Sigui stated causing blue flames to appear from her staff. "And we will escape it."
"Ready to get to work?!" Ymir asked her cousin as they both were pumped.
"Hell yeah! With the two of us together, we can do this!" Eilin raised massive hammer to the air. "For the glory of Gem Mountain!"
"And the Pride of Iron Mountain!"
"Mirim," Melona came to the armor clad girl, placing her hands on her shoulders then hugging her. "It's not too late... You can still run."
"No. I'm not gonna run from this!" She told her thinking back to her family. "I know I'm not strong enough, but now that I'm here with everyone I won't go back!"
"I see... Then let's give it all we got!" The slime grinned at their enemies, knowing that their spirits were up at an all time high.
"Captain, I'm happy."
"Nowa?"
"I'm happy that we get to fight together once more." She smiled at her, that same smile that always kept the elf motivated. If she never found her all those years ago... What would it be like now? If it wasn't for Nowa, she wouldn't be like this.
"I feel nothing but joy, knowing I'm with you." She smiled back before the two stared back at the army. "I will grade you, so you best be prepared!" The half-elf only nodded at that, feeling pumped with her blood rushing as Ruu could only dance in excitement.
"This looks like too much..." Luna Luna said to herself, but looked at the King with a smile on her face. "But, if I can beat more demon than anyone else, then Juan Honey will for sure love me more!"
"Oh, I'm sure I can love you just as mu-AGH!"
"Sorry, he gets like that." Menace apologized to the Dancer, seeing how she elbowed the staff. "But, Juan has enough love for all of us. I promise, after this it will be the best night of our lives~!" She was thinking nothing but lewd thoughts.
"Hey Naomi, how about a contest?" The Bandit suggested causing the housewife to be confused. "The one who kills the most buys the other a drink."
"Oh come on, no contest." She remarked causing the both of them to laugh. "How about this, the one who gets more has to watch the kids while the other gets to have an all week vacation with Juan?"
"Now THAT'S getting me motivated!" She smirked with a crack of her knuckles.
"Quite a crew she has," Liliana couldn't help but give a hearty laugh. "But it's NOTHING compared to my crew mates! READY MEN?!"
"AYE CAPTAIN!" They all gave a hearty cheer, their weapons raised to the sky.
"You ready?" June asked the half-demon wife who could do nothing but stare at the blood red blade.
"My mind is telling me that this fight will help me unlock the rest of my memories... So I have a duty to see through." She pointed the demonic blade at the Swamp Witches castle. "She knows the answers."
"Then that's all I needed to hear." She smiled. "Once we go through, there's no turning back..." The King took a deep breath before having both of her eyes a different color. "LET'S GOOOOOO!-!-!-!"
She screamed causing the Fortress to move once more before taking out many of the army infront of them before the whole Rebellion jumped off Bligh as all of them began charging forward with Annelotte taking out three with Yuit coming from behind on Vante's shoulder! "TAKE THIS! AND THIS AND THIS AND THIS!" She shouted launching nothing but missle barrages powered by powerful gems that Ymir gave to her. "GET TO THE CASTLE!"
"Watch out!" Irma shouted throwing a bundle of daggers at horde of incoming demons throwing themselves at the small elf, only to be killed as each of Irma's daggers hit them on their mark.
"Thanks!"
"There's more where that came from!" Tarnyang called out drawing her blade as Sainyang took a spiritual charm causing a forceful push causing many of the army to fall. "Not bad!"
"Tarnyang!" Her sister warned her only for the one in red to smirk as she did an amzing flip while also taking off the demon's head then kicking it like ball at some in front of them.
"Don't hog all the fun you two!" Luna Luna scolded as she transformed her tentacles into weapons breaking through their defense once more, only to be thrown back with a group of the Queen's former Knights appearing in front of them about to slash her insides out!
"No you don't!" Mirim shouted slashing the wind that caused an wave of energy to appear causing the knight to be cut in half. With an opening, the Dancer took the axe of that belonged to the knight before throwing it at one of the others to cleave its head in two. Tarnyang and Sainyang dodged a massive swing from another almost missing by a hair with the sister in red stabbing it in its side and Tarnyang to push it back with her charm.
"Gotta say, these guys are good!" Risty said kicking a group of them while admiring the efforts of the Rebellion. "Hey, Naomi we gotta step up our game!"
"Right!" Naomi agreed placing her back to Risty's seeing the army in front of them. "I'll hit them high..."
"And I'll hit em hard!" The two went straight to work as Bandit punched one of the demons straight in jaw causing it's head to fly off before kicking it through the crowd. Two were coming at both sides of her only for her to grab both of their heads and slam them together as their blood covered her palms. "Gross... Oh well, guess that's what happen when you're having fun!" She smirked before jumping into the army with a powerful punch to the ground causing the very Earth to shake! Rocks formed around the Bandits causing a massive circle of cracks to appear before her... "What? Is that all you got?" She taunted only for them to still come at her. "Good... THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT!" She gripped the mace at her side before swinging it with terrifying power that crushed their skulls like fruit! Needless to say, Risty was having a ball of her own.
"Disgusting bastards, GET OUT OF OUR WAY!" She shouted punching every demon in her sight until a group of them grabbed her limbs! "Damn!" That's when she saw one of them about to pierce her with a spear, only making her angrier.
"NAOMI!" She looked to see June coming down with her guns out. "GET AWAY FROM HER!" She shouted raining bullets on the ones surrounding her before finishing them off with her blade. "Naomi! Are you okay?!" Her hands were shaking only to be squeezed.
"Don't worry, I just got careless." She told her husband. "BEHIND YOU!" She pushed the King out of the way before roundhousing what seemed like a feline demon with it's skull out and a snake for a tongue. More came by as they began circling the couple then getting closer and closer with everyone movement. "So they hunt in packs."
"Normally I'm an animal lover..." The King drew out her pistols once more before firing them at the horde with the bullets only grazing them. Two jumped straight at the King with their jaws open to take a bite of her flesh.
"BAD..." Naomi flipped herself over June as she landed a kick on one of the demons. "DOG!" The King slashed the other one that was coming at her, slicing it in half with it's body turning to ash. However, more of the group of hell hounds were circling them once more causeing them to think of plan. That's when the housewife finally had a great idea! "Let me see your sword!"
"Huh?"
"Just let me see it!" She grabbed the blade before stabbing it in the ground. "Now jump!" She ordered making the King do as she told with a tremendous jump that launched her high in the air! So got a glimpse of what she was doing, and Naomi was balancing her self on the hilt of the blade with the winds of her Tormenta Grieves causing a wind to appear before her. It was almost like a tornado.
"I see." She couldn't help at her plan as he king brought pulled out her pistols and aimed them at her legs. "Ready?!"
"NOW!" The King spun her body like a twister while firing down at Naomi, only for the bullets to ricochet off her grieves and towards the demons surrounding them. Soon they were finally cleared out with a massive open around the two as June came down with Naomi jumping off the hilt. "Still a lot more to handle."
"Let's clear out as much as we can until we can regroup with everyone." The two nodded before charging in at the incoming horde.
Others were having the time of their lives, especially with Melona and Menace who were letting out their anger within to the Swamp Witch. Menace summoned a pair large hand made of holy light as she began punching demons that were 3 times her size, causing them to be blown back by massive power! Melona used her secret techinque that caused massive explosions to appear upon what ever she gazed at. "This is too much fun~!" Melona giggled before cleaving a demon in two while stabbing another behind her.
"I know what you mean. We'll show her just whose she's messing with!" The Queen of Amara cracked her knuckles with the summoned hands doing the same as her. Soon a massive demon that was taller than the rest appeared before her, only causing her to smile. It roared at the two violently as it charged in with its horns out. The Queen of Amara couldn't help but smirk as she prepared herself, both feet apart and ready! As soon as it came even close to her she used the pair of summoned hands and grabbed it by the horns! She slammed it hard on the ground with all of her might before she started wailing on the demon causing it to stammer back leaving it open! "SHINING..." She ran towards the beast as the holy light surrounded her. "PYRAMID!" A massive pyramid of light appeared before that hit the demon directly on it's body!
"MENACE! TOSS IT OVER HERE!" Melona shouted with her arms out.
"Okay~!" She gripped the demon by its head once more before tossing it up in the air as she brought Setra to her side.
"W-WAIT! MILADY! THIS ISN'T A GOOD-!"
"MELONA! CATCH!" Surrounding her living staff in her holy light, it turned formed into a massive club as she swung it with full force causing the demon to be fly above their heads. The slime counted the second it would take for it be close to where she wanted it...
"Bye bye~" She eyes flashed once more causing a massive and even bigger explosion to happen then any she had ever made! The bigger a target was weaken, the bigger the impact of the explosion! Not only did it cause the Swamp's army to shorten, it also helped clear a path! "Menace, this way!"
"Got it!" The Queen turned to look at her friend then back at the horde in front of her. However, something caught her eyes... A ghost from the past, or a demon in disguise. "Melona... You're there..." A cold sweat escaped from her brow before turning back to see the remenant of her past. "Then that's..."
"What are you talking about?"
"Melona, go without me!" She shouted before pushing aside the demon horde while chasing the person. "It can't be... No way... It can't be her!" Her eyes kept getting glimpse of her silver hair, a giggle that she was all to familair with. She passed by the two elves who took a quick glimpse in confusion.
"Menace?"
"Nowa! Focus!" Alleyne scolded as the half-elf was taken by surprise when she saw a demon with bloody red claws about to slash her only for her to dodge at the last second as she stabbed the demon with her staff before flinging off.
"S-Sorry, Captain!" She apologized as she charged in helpping out the elf taking down an even bigger monster in front of them! It took a massive swing at the elves as they dodged it on time, only for the demon to have its fist stuck in the Earth. "Let's go, Ruu!" The half-elf immeidately ran up its arm, going for its right eye as she punctured it straight through!
"NOWA! WATCH OUT!" Alleyne shouted seeing the demon aiming his other fist straight at her as the half elf jumped out of the way, leaving her staff in the eye. She landed right beside her Captain who grouped up with her. "That was too reckless!"
"Don't worry, its blind in one eye now." She told her. "We can use that to beat him down."
"In that case, I'll take care of the other eye!" The elf need to make sure the demon didn't know what they were up to. If they can obscure that damn thing's vision then this will be easier. "Ruu! To me!" The monkey happily climbed onto her shoulders as she started running to the side. "GO!" Ruu leapped off her shoulder as he landed on the demon's body then began to climb up at good pace. With it, it began to attack the elf with great strength but she was able to dodge it with minimal effort.
Ruu had then climbed to the top of its head where he had obsecured its vision, causing it to violently lash out at whatever was surrounding it. It wasn't until it decided to aim a punch at the monkey until he quickly dodged it with a flip, seeing that it punched itself as it stammered on one leg. "Captain! Now!" The two elves charged in with enough force to deliver a powerful double kick as it caused it to the ground! Nowa saw the chance as she took back her staff as she gave a nod to her captain.
The two jumped with insane air before diving straight down at their target. "EAGLE TALON!-!" The demon only got a glimpse of both of the elves coming straight down before its other eye was taken away along with its life. Soon, it's body withered away until it became a skeleton with more demons becoming attracted to it... "This is quite unfortunate..."
"What do we do now, Captain?" Nowa asked before seeing the Elf whistling loudly. Soon, the majestic White Wolf of the Forest appeared from the Fortress, howling to the skies above before jumping off into the horde! "Good thinking!" The majestic beast ran straight through the army where the two elves awaited.
"Jump!" She commanded as the wolf didn't stop its pace, even for a single second. Leaping onto the side of its body while hanging on its fur, as they went to regroup with the others.
Passing by another two were Nyx and Elina who were busy doing two things. "Careful were you swing that, servant girl!"
"Speak for yourself to uptight whore!" Nyx shouted back as a shield made of flames protected her from Elina's attack. "You trying to pick a fight?!"
"No I'm trying to kill you!" The two butted heads, glaring at the others with fire escaping from the both of them. "WHY DON'T YOU JUST GO BACK AND SERVE TEA CAUSE THAT'S ALL YOUR GOOD AT?!"
"HOW ABOUT YOU JUST SIT ON YOUR FAT ASS LIKE YOU KNOW HOW?!"
"WHAT DID YOU SAY?!"
"YOU'RE A LAZY, SPOILED AND SELFISH LITTLE BITCH! WANT ME TO SAY IT AGAIN?!"
"I AM THE CAPTAIN OF THE GUARD! HOW DARE YOU SPEAK TO ME LIKE THAT YOU FILTHY PEASANT!"
"HA! THAT'S PATHETIC! MY HUSBAND IS THE KING OF GAINOS, SO YOU CAN BOW DOWN AND KISS MY FOOT! I'M YOUR QUEEN!"
"MY SISTER IS THE QUEEN SO WHAT YOU GOT IS BULLSHIT!" The Master of Flames couldn't help but smirk.
"When you think about it, that also means she's my sister in law."
"W-WHA?!"
"And Leina too. Oh Leina~ How I love caressing her body~ The sounds of her moans and her heart being in my control~"
"YOU BITCH! LEINA IS MY BIG SISTER SO THE ONLY ONE WHO GETS TO TOUCH IS ME!"
"Not anymore~! I remember her just screaming, "OH NYX~ RIGHT THERE~ RIGHT THERE~" every night."
"I'LL KILL YOU!"
Little did the two know, the army of demons were completely confused by this scene... Do they attack or just watch? One of them pushed one of tiniest and weakest of the army to them, who was in complete and utter fear. Seeing the two glare at each other as lighting struck down at their side, flames surrounding the two... What were these humans?! As it got close, the two turned to the tiny demon with glares. "What do you want?!"
"You wanna die you little ugly freak?!" She asked as the demon couldn't help but dropped its weapons and began to cower in fear. Its hands raised in surrender, only for Nyx to slam the heel of between Its eyes as it laid dead under her.
"Shit... I got blood on my shoe." Taking her foot back, she witnessed the army in front of her. "We'll settle this later."
"That's the smartest thing I've ever heard you say." The two ran in opposite directions with Elina using the steel wire whip to her use. Like girl playing hop-scotch, she was able to jump over a great distance while using their heads like a spring board until she landed gracefully into another spot. All of them turned around to face her where she only gave them a laugh until flicked her wrist. Large gashes appeared around their bodies until she yank the wire hard, causing multiple heads to fly off as she only laughed at their demise. "You might aswell surrender your lives!"
Nyx slowly walked towards the horde with her hands gracefully spinning her staff. "Now then, who wants to get set a blaze?" She asked as the phoenix appeared once more behind her. It let out a battle cry with the horde charging in all at once, but this only made her smirk. "A fruitless effort." With a snap of her fingers she summoned walls of fire that blocked their attacks until she pushed it away from her, causing their flesh to burn. However, that didn't stop an incoming horde from marching forward causing her to think of a plan. She chanted a spell to her staff before small flickers of flames appeared around her, with a glyph the size of a ball room surrounding her.
The demons kept marching forward wanting nothing more than her blood. She took a deep breath with her hands clasped together as the glyph began to highlight. The demon that a head of the rest was close with blade in its hand, coming straight down at her to take her life. That's when she smiled at it before a massive pillar of fire rose from the ground where it swallowed the entire horde that surrounded her. When the flames died down, the sword that belonged to the demon dropped, stabbing itself into the ground. "Child's play." She simply stated before turning around where Elina stood ontop of a hill demon corpses. "Let's hurry and meet up with everyone."
"Don't give me orders!" She shouted with a hmph as the two left their area. Until they saw a strange light appear to their left. "What was that?!"
"That must be Melpha, I know that light like the back of my hand."
"Sigui must be with her if that light can do that." Elina stated as she continued on their path. "Come on, they can take care of themselves."
Nyx hesitated at first, worrying over the Archbishop... "Please... Stay safe, Melpha..." She gave a prayer to her, until Elina shouted over at her.
"WOULD YOU HURRY UP ALREADY?!"
"SHUT UP!" She shouted back as the began arguing once more.
Where the light came from, wasn't untrue. "PURIFICATION!" Melpha shouted at the causing the light to appear in front of her as it caused many of the monster in front of her disappear. "Sigui, are you okay?!" She shouted over to see the Sister summoning the Holy Flames from her staff as she caused a vortex of fire to appear in front of her. The horde that stood in their way soon became nothing but ash.
"Don't worry, I'm fine!" She called out to her as she jumped away to where Melpha stood. "Although, it looks like we're surrounded." They had their back together not letting any one of them out of their sight. "Lady Melpha, do you have a plan?"
"Yes but I need your help." She told her. "Nanael isn't here to help us at the moment, so please help me with this."
"Anything."
"We must perform the Holy Pose: Justice." She told causing her to almost drop her staff. "It will help us get out of this predictiment."
"I-I see... But I don't believe I'm strong enough."
"Don't worry. I truly believe that you are strong in both your faith and heart." She turned around and extended her arm out. "Help me, Sigui." The Sister looked at the hand for a moment as she nodded. When she grasped her hand, Melpha pulled her down to the ground as the two began to sync with each other. "L-Like this?" She asked unsure as she wrapped her right leg around Melpha's left as she did the same.
"Yes, now come closer." She ordered. Soon, both of their crotches were touching one another, causing both of them see a warm and beautiful light. The Holy Pose: Justice must be done by a pair of two people with great faith to God. Once the two are leg locked and touch, the two most grind against the other to show both of their love for the Lord and it is said a miracle will happen. "A-Almost there!"
"L-Lady Melpha!" The horde began to fear the light in front of them as one of the demons shouted to run, but it was too late. Both holy maidens shouted to the Heavens as a light erupted from the two that swallowed everything in its path. Screams of pain swallowed them as they began crumbling to dust until the light down died. Every inch it shrunk, patches of beautiful green full grass was seen escaping from the light as both Melpha and Sigui were seen breathing heavily with sweating escaping from their brow. "A-Amazing..."
"Shall we regroup with everyone else?" Melpha asked as she stood back up as she took a deep breath. "Everyone is waiting for us."
"I will follow you. Please lead the way." The two left their area as they both felt the darkness coming at them stronger and stronger with every step. "My shoulders feel like their being pressed down..."
"Indeed, the Swamp Witch's evil grows stronger. It's best we enter with caution from now on." Both of them agreed to that. Everyone was out here fighting for their lives, and fighting for a purpose.
"Spirits begone!" The Priestess shouted throwing a handful of ofuda seals at the horde causing them to become ash. A giant orge like demon came at her like a bull swinging its axe straight down that made her dodge in time.
"Hey, big guy!" It looked to its left only to catch a blur of the Grandmaster Ninja as she cut off its head like butter. "Lady Tomoe?!"
"I'm alright! Where's Izumi?!" She asked blocking a blade coming at her before cutting her attacker in half while stabbing another one behind her.
"Get off me, you jerks!" They followed the voice to see the ronin fighting off with some skill that they have never seen before until now. "Take this!" She slashed down two of her enemies before hopping onto one of the demons shoulders where she thrusted her sword with great force.
"Not bad, Izumi!" Shizuka said jumping to save her from another once about to pounce her. Tomoe was able to save the silver haired woman as a blade almost came to her back while Izumi dealt the finishing blow. The three women from Hinomoto saw how all three of them were surrounded by the horde... "So, anyone got an idea?"
"I think I got one!" Izumi reached to the conch shell horn on her hip, blowing it loudly to summon only one creature that she knows. A strange sound began growing louder as it got close to them. Many of the Witch's army began to fly into he air until they finally saw who it was. "DIO! OVER HERE BOY!" She clapped calling him over as the beast stopped in Its tracks. "Sit boy! Sit!" The Behemoth obayed. "GOOD BOY! WHO'S A GOOD BOY?! WHO'S A GOOD BOY?!" She began betting the Behemoth as it gave a low howl of happiness.
"Izumi!" Tomoe shouted as she pointed at the demon army with her blade.
"R-right. Sorry." She laughed until she jumped onto Dio's back. "Alright, hop on! Let's get out of here!" All three of them climbed onto the Behemoth as it bit it's own lip causing blood to seeped down then it took shape into barrier. "FULL CHARGE!" She ordered holding out her blade as the Behemoth started charging through.
"Well, looks like they're having fun." Echidna looked at the three heading to the castle. "Well, guess I better get going." She giggled before hopping off her own mountain of demon corpses. "Something doesn't feel right though... This feels... TOO easy." As she took a step, a small rock passed by her foot... A small innocent piece of stone, but for some reason it made her spine tingle. Slowly she placed her hand on the ground as she began to feel something... Underground?! "W-What the hell?!"
That's when the Earth began to shake violently, causing everyone to stop fighting. "W-What's going on?!" Ymir shouted as she began to trip and fall with her cousin.
"This doesn't feel like a normal Earthquake!" Eilin slowly got up but had trouble keeping her balance.
"Leina, stay close." Claudette told her sister as she shot a blast of lighting at a whole group of demon that incinerated them.
"Same to you. I have a feeling that this battle got a whole lot more difficult." The middle sister of the Vance family tightened the grip of her blade.
"This feeling..." Aldra placed a hand on her chest. "Annelotte we must hurry to the castle!"
"R-Right!" She closed her eyes as the red jewel began to glow once more. "Ambrosius!" She summoned the Familiar as he waited for them to get on. "We can get there faster on Ambrosius! Hold on tight!" The two half-demons rode the hell horse as it galloped at great speed that Annelotte has never seen before!
Soon the entire stopped moving as the ground began to open up. Out of the ground rose a throne made entirely out of earth and stone... Sitting on the throne was a General with armor made of heavy stone, moss and grass covering it as the top of Its helmet was a crown. Resting at Its side was a great mace made entirely of stone with chips to it as if it was used in countless battles. It slowly stood up in front of the Rebellion as the pure size of it was bigger than the Third Hell Knight! Very soon, mist began to cover the area as everyone saw what seemed like water seeping out from the throne.
The murky water formed into a being wearing a cloak as it held what seemed like a spear. It's spear held onto the angered sins of man as the souls of anger kept fighting to reach the surface, but unknown to them the water was like a glass window to them. After that, many holes appeared once after another that surrounded the throne as pillars made of fire erupted like a volcano. Out of them appeared another one of the knights who hid behind a mask made of charred marble and armor made of obsidian. It's breath was similar to the smoke of cigarette or cigar with its eyes blazing in fire.
"3 more..." June said gripping her blade tightly. That is until something cold filled the air around them that almost made it feel like they would freeze to death. They heard something coming to the west as the saw what seemed like a raging stampede. "Wait... Are those-?"
"C-Centaurs?!" Claudette witnessed them armored in black metal, but one of them was bigger than the rest. Riding on one was another Hell Knight with what seemed like the appearance of a woman. Her armor was light yet gave her enough protection from many attacks. She took out a bow and arrow as she aimed carefully into the sky before firing it as it landed right by Leina's foot!
"That's some accuracy...!" Melona felt the fear in her heart. The winds began to pick up as the Rebellion witnessed something flying overhead as they saw a creature like they've never encountered. It's body was similar to that of a reptile, but everything else was completely different. Its wings were as big as a dragon, its tail silthered like a snake but ended like a scorpions... That's when they witness that it wore a helmet with a mask covering Its face, but they could tell that it was staring down at them.
"Welcome." A calm yet chilling voice spoke as the entire army froze in place. "Weakling aren't they? For an army no doubt you would expect more of a challenge?" Coming straight from the castle was the last Hell Knight. The Knight's armor was elegant yet dark, a beautiful ice like texture shining on it. The cape was a darkish blue as it flowed nicely in the wind that it left fragments of ice. They caught a good climpse at the Knight's face... Her eyes a cold and souless white, lips the perfect shade of blue with her skin the the color of ash. There was something beautiful yet horrifying about her that they couldn't understand..."
"So, you guys must be the whole band." June couldn't help but smirk. "Sorry to break it to ya, but we're kinda in a hurry. So how about letting us through?"
"I apologize, but I'm afraid your life is forefeit where you stand." She placed on her helmet as a mask appeared to cover her face. "We are the Knights of Hell... And all of you will finally be eradicated!" The aura she gave was powerful enough that it made some the strongest in the Rebellion break into a cold sweat.
"Six of them now." Eli asked himself as he has never felt such a powerful aura before.
"I know, quite the annoyance." The half-demon turned around only to dodge a blade in time before kicking the carrier of the weapon. "Aww... I'm hurt. Is that how you greet a friend?"
"A-Anarista?!" His eyes wasn't deceiving him. The scandoulous dressed silver haired woman stood right in front of him with her usual smirk. Something about her was unsettling that he couldn't help but grip his blade slowly. "What are you doing here?"
"Carrying out my mission." She told him while spinning the blades on her fingers. "This Rebellion has become a thorn in my Mistress' side. If those six don't kill you all then I'll just have to do it... One by... One~!" Her body became covered in terrifying power of Curse Magic, but it didn't scare him! "Don't hate me for this. It's just a contract..."
"You don't gotta do this!" He pleaded wanting not to fight her.
"That's what I find so cute about you~ You always try to go easy on us, but if you don't get serious..." She had on a twisted smirk. "You'll die~!" She jumped at him with amazing speed that he couldn't comprehend for a moment but thankfully he parried her attack. He pushed her off as he jump straight at her with his blade covered in a hellish red energy.
She couldn't help but smile at this as she cut her own hand just deep enough to throw blood in his eyes! Blinding him on the spot as he missed his attack! "D-Damn!"
"Good-bye, Eli." She kicked herself off the ground then back at him once more to end his life. That was until someone else interrupted her... Coming straight from the sky and causing a massive dust cloud to appear between them surprised the Assassin. "What the-?!" That's when out of the cloud came a massive hand made of Holy Magic that she dodged.
Once the cloud had settled down she had witnessed two figures she could make out. One was Eli who stood in a daze, while the other remained stood from the ground before her. That's when their eyes met... Her blue eyes glaring at her own blood red. "You will not harm this boy or anyone else on this day..."
"Oh? Showing some sort of resolve against me?" She couldn't help but laugh. "From what your friends have told me, you've become a Queen for your own Kingdom."
"What it's to you?"
"I find it laughable. YOU of all people could rule a Kingdom?! Don't make me laugh... Princess Menace!" An energy clashed against the two that Eli could feel where he was standing.
"That's Queen Menace to you... Anarista!"
"You two know each other?!" Eli asked the Queen as she held up her staff blocking him from going any further.
"Look kid, if I were you I would get the hell outta here!" Setra the living staff warned him. "These two have some unfinished buisness with each other... If you wanna live, I'd take my advice to heart!"
"Boy, what is your name?"
"Eli Hunter. Knight for Queen Claudette."
"I am Menace, Queen of Amara. My husband is the King of Gainos... So by that you must take an order from me, right?"
"Y-Yes, your Highness."
"Leave her to me and go fight with the others. These are my orders." She looked at him with a fire erupting in her eyes. "Do I make myself clear?"
"Yes, your Majesty." The Knight quickly left the Amara Queen to her fight only to look back once then run back to the others.
"Eli! Over here!" Annelotte called over to him as he saw that she was with Aldra. "Good to see you're in one piece."
"I can same for the both of you." He said as they were covering behind a large rock. "Six more of those bastards... They're most likely stronger than the last 3."
"That's why we're going to break into the castle." Aldra told him as she looked at their surroundings. "Me and Annelotte had just made a plan."
"Juan and the others will get their attention and once that happens will have a chance to get into the castle without them noticing."
"Once we're inside we can get rid of the Swamp Witch, for good."
"I'll help you." Eli told them as he remembered what she did to Aeton. "That Witch... She killed Aeton and used Queen Claudette to manipluate us! I'm gonna make sure she pays ten fold! So please! Let me join you!"
"Of course, but remember it will only be us 3 that enter. No one else but us..."
"That's just how I want it." He told them as the 3 waited for the right moment.
"Are you ready, to face your Death?" The Hell Knight of the Ninth Circle asked the King how began to laugh at them.
"Man... How many times have I heard that? A dozen? A hundred? A thousand?" She began taking a few steps, just then the King's body began to glow until you couldn't see her face. That's when they saw her body becoming taller and more muscular. When the light vanished, The King stood in his original body with his wings spread out. The King stood against at the Hell Knights while having that usual smirkon his face. "Well then, since you asked so nicely..." He quickly pulled out his pistols. "Let's get this party started!" He shouted while firing his pistols at rabid fire! The Real Fight begins now!
