~Chapter 44: Declaration of War~
As Eve was discovered by the others, Altera and Hamel are at war once again. This time, the kings of the kingdoms will also participate in the war. Hamel's White Colossus VS Altera's Nasod King. Leader of Guardians and Founder of Nasod.
Both leaders of each kingdom clashed once or twice before commanding their army to fight. Hamel's White Colossus slammed his fist against the hard armor of a soldier on Altera's side, shattering the armor before flinging him into the air. Ignotum rushed in and slammed his body against Hamel's White Colossus. Both of them rolled down a hill as both began to fight one on one.
The Destroyer was slammed into the ground, and a strong force with an ammo released from it sent Ignotum back. However, Ignotum recovered in a second, pushing on his heels and sliced his opponent across. Thanks to the hard armor, the damage was lessen.
As the kings continued to fight, both armies were losing its men slowly as time passed. The battleground was filled with dark red blood that were splattered everywhere. Severed limbs, heads... Internal organs.. Much more bloodshed. It was a war... A war that can't be avoided at any costs. And this war... Will be the bloodiest and the final one between Altera and Hamel. It'll end everything.
Back to Elsword and the others, Chung was washing Eve's injuries and making sure that it wasn't infected. Chung knew of the war that's going on currently as they rest. Time was running out. It was a race against time.
'With Eve injured... We won't be sure of the passage in Wally's castle. And that engine Echo talked about... It'll be after Hamel. The war.. The engine must be for putting Hamel in ruins, but.. Echo had said that the first target would be me.. What does that mean..? An engine..'
Chung was in deep thoughts as he wrapped the bandage around Eve's bare stomach and chest a bit too tight. Eve bit her lips, holding back the small sound she's going to make out of pain. Chung snapped out of his deep thoughts and stared at Eve as she tried to ignore the pain. He immediately loosen the bandages in panic and Eve giggled softly at Chung. Her hand grabbed his and placed it on her chest. Chung who wasn't blushing at wrapping bandages around her upper half that is topless, was finally blushing deep red as his hand touched Eve's bare chest.
"E-Eve! W-W-W-What are you doing?!"
"Nothing. I was just wondering if you'll be... Hmm.. What would be a good word..? Aroused..?"
Eve slyly smirked as Chung looked at her in shock and a flushed face. It was perfect revenge for Eve. Chung was always slyly teasing her, and now was a perfect opportunity to get revenge. And at the same time, it was to distract Chung from nonsense.
"Chung... Our relationship.. You want to move further, right..?"
"Eh...?"
"Didn't you say that you want to make a children with me..?"
"I-I-I-I.. Um.. Uh.."
"I'm just joking. We're too young for something like that. And.. What if you don't take responsibility? Also.. Don't worry too much about the war. It's too late to stop it, but I believe that the only way to stop it is by one side surrendering.. I... I don't want to take part in this war. Altera may be my birth place, but Hamel is where I want to live with you and make a family with you. I'm on Hamel's side, and.. Because of Ignotum, tragedies were caused by him. I'm sure... Ignotum will receive his punishment.."
In Eve's eyes, there was a hint of comfort and confidence. Chung stared into those golden eyes until his arms slowly reached out for Eve, hugging her gently. Chung's mind was now calm, as he no longer think of the war or the consequences.
"Thank you... Eve.. Oh and... I will take responsibility."
Chung smirked lightly before Eve faintly blushed, sticking her tongue out before softly slapping him.
Elsword watched Elsa closely as she swung her blade, clashing it against Raven's. It was a simple spar, but Elsa was able to learn a lot from it. Elsword clenched his fists as he narrowed his eyes at Elsa. He grabbed a blade and intervened Elsa and Raven's spar.
"I'll take over from here."
Elsword's voice obviously showed no room for a talk-back. Raven sighed and stood back, watching the Red Knights spar. Elsa lowered her form and readied her blade. Elsword raised his blade in front of his blade, and flipped it in his hand for a moment before both sides clashed.
"Sword Fall!"
"Spiral Blast!"
Four aerial Cornwells were summoned and slammed down against the ground where Elsa stood. Elsa rolled forward, invisible for a moment before slashing her blade followed by a burning flare blast. Elsword was flung back, however at that moment, he stabbed a Cornwell into the ground, creating a magic circle, allowing mini Cornwells to erupt from the circle.
"Rage Cutter!"
Both siblings fought on equal ground with much caution of each other's attacks. Elsword thrust his blade forward as he dashed towards Elsa, stabbing her slightly, summoning three Cornwells behind him to pierce her as well.
"Sword Blasting! Phantom Sword!"
"Armageddon Blade!"
Elsa's blade was transcended, increasing her overall range of her attacks. An independent blade appears behind Elsword as he points his blade at Elsa. Both siblings rushed towards each other, blades clashing once again. At that moment, Aisha came out with Rena. Aisha was surprised to see the two siblings fight each other. She wanted to stop them, however... Raven raised his blade in front of her neck and stopped her from moving any further.
"This is their battle. Don't interfere. Also.. They're thickheaded. Words won't get through, but.. I believe this battle will."
'Words can't be used in their situation. Only a battle can get through each other. It's best if no one will disturb them.'
In Wally's castle, Echo poured a bottle of alchemy inside a capsule and inside held Aren and the Elsa clone. Wires were connected to their body, making them look inhuman and more like androids when they're not, well... Not Aren at least.
"Their injuries are recovering at a fast pace with my alchemy. I'm sure they'll be okay in a jiff. There's no need to worry. Aren.. Is he really useful to us? After all.. He's still human. Even if we're controlling him, I believe his mind is trying to defy this controlling."
"Echo. You have no need for unnecessary words. Continue with your work. And don't betray me for that wench."
Echo silently clenched her fists and let a tear roll down her cheek before biting her lips and looking up with a cold face.
"Yes, Wally."
~Author's Note~
Okay... What's Chung's father's name...? I've heard that it's Helputt, but.. It's not official, is it? Can somebody tell me...? O; Anyways..
By "Wench" I think you guys know who... Ahem.. It starts with an "A".. *looks away* Anyways... I have exams starting tomorrow, once again! O;
Here are my replies to my reviewers~
Guest(1): You just realized.. And.. Aren is a puppet.
AsianAlex: Eve wanted to collect a few herbs and stuff to create something for Chung, but then she just had to meet Aren along the way. *sighs* Yes! I'll write one for you~ ^o^ After I finish a few other stuff. Oh, Raven x Rena..? Hmm, okay! I might even continue one of my one shots.. For example.. Forbidden Love which is a Raven x Rena. I think my 300th reviewer xEvangeline5x would be fine if I continue it. Don't worry. Chung won't let that happen again. :3
NekoYinChan: Yeah... Eve VS Aren. Chung would definitely rage. It's so expensive.. The cannon for Chung is so.. Beautiful! I have the winner costume drones for Eve, so I don't need it. For Chung.. I must get it for him! I just don't like the hair for Chung, for Eve, I love it, so I bought it. XD If I get something about E rank, then I'm fine and stop PvPing. And.. This story is surprisingly popular now. When I wrote it, i never expected this result. So.. I'm pretty happy that people are wasting their time to read this story of mine and support it all the way~ :) I'm really grateful to all my reviewers, including you. XD
SweetCupcakes: *counts reviewers five times* Congratulations! XD First time reviewing and you got the 450th reviewer spot already. XD Oh, Lento..? :) He's in the story, but.. He won't appear yet. Anyways.. Pairing, plot, and class? Or my own.
Yukiriyuu Acchan: So close to 450th reviewer. Anyways.. I love them too! :3 They're awesome together. Yes... If only Aren wasn't a puppet. Eve is alright, look at that. She's taking her time teasing Chung and comforting him. Next chapter coming soon!
Guest(2): It's cute! It gives me resistance for water. XD And... I have only 50 K-Ching left.
MilkTank: I know.. And.. I really don't want to leave my pet starving. Plus, it's going to be hard. Since it's an adult, 100% affinity with me. I'm trying to make it change to Shy.. And it's my first pet that's an adult, so I'll feel bad for not feeding it. Eve is sexy. Eve x Chung is even sexier.
Sweet Trickster: Aren makes a debut as a puppet! O; The reason is in this chapter, explained by Echo. Elsa and Ara.. His friend/comrade/love interest and his younger sister.. I have a perfect plan for them. ;) I'm sorry, but.. That makes things more exciting. Plus.. You get to make your brain more active for exams and stuff.
Rosamanelle: Aren's a puppet.. Eve won't die. She'll live for Chung! For their promises! :3 It's not rare for you to be emotional. I'm just like you. :3 *hugs*
Konjiki No Yami: Aren is under orders and a puppet. XP
RubyCrusade: *looks for weapons and hides them* Aren and Wally... They're so dead. You converted me to Elsa x Aren. :3 You're welcome for the cake! Of course it isn't Aren's day... *coughs* Something bad is going to happen. Oh! And... I heard its your birthday? ;) Happy Birthday Ruby! :3 *hugs*
Kat Neko983: O; Noooo! Don't cry, Kat! O;
An0n Author: Anon! O; Noooo! Why did you think so much?! Look at what you did! *sighs and gets out broom*
