Bell POV
I heard a horn blow and saw that the army was attacking. Just watching the Draguers run was disturbing. These muscles contorted and they looked like puppets with all the jerking they did. The first ones to breach the walls were the nightmares but they were easy to kill considering they were just a floating eye. Second, came the draugers. Of course, they just jumped because it would be too easy if they didn't.
Seeing one jump in front of me I quickly thrusted my spear into it. That didn't seem to kill it however so I had to let go of the spear to avoid my head being cut off. I quickly summoned another one and hit it on the ground. Causing the spear lodged into the drauger to explode making it turn into tiny bits. Three more draugers then appeared right where the first one was standing. With a combo of thrusts and swings, they were dead.
"That's four for me Ottar" I yelled over to him.
"Pick up the pace I'm already at 22" I heard him yell back.
"Show off," I thought to myself before 20 more draugers appeared.
I then threw my spear at them multiple times causing outlines of where the spear used to be. Hitting the ground with my spear again I caused a chain reaction of explosions. Realizing that things were getting close quarters I put the spear away and brought out my axe. After hacking and slashing for hours.Limb after limb. Head after head flying off yet they still kept coming. Ottar and I were holding. But for how long. After decapitating another drauger I saw more and more of them coming. All of a sudden I felt the ground shaking beneath me. I nearly lost my balance if it wasn't for Ottar grabbing me and keeping me steady.
"Their actual assault begins now," he said.
"Oh great. Let me guess they just wanted to probe our defenses" I said. Ottar said nothing but shook his head. That's when I saw it. The reason why the ground was shaking was because a troll was charging right at the wall. I didn't have time to react as the troll impacted the wall shattering the part it hit completely. Unlucky For me it was right where I was standing and got hit by the troll's shoulder and sent flying.
I couldn't hear much my ears were ringing but I think I heard Ottar shout after me. Everything was blurry in my right eye so I shut it. I could see perfectly fine with my left. My head hurt and everything felt like it was spinning. But the one thing I was able to see was the wall destroyed and the army breaking in. I then felt someone harshly grab my shoulder and lift me to my feet.
"Get ready they're coming," Ottar said steadying me.
Thinking quickly I put my hand behind the blade of my axe and pushed it forward. A beam of pure ice came out of it hitting the draugers and patching the hole in the wall.
"Fixed it" I panted.
However, that victory was short-lived as 10 more trolls knocked the entire wall down.
"GODDAMNIT" I shouted before Ottar and I charged forward. Now, this was bad. For three hours they had been toying with us. Trying to tire us out so they could pick us off, and it worked. While Ottar and I are fine who's to say the rest are? No time to think about that now gotta fight if I don't I'm dead.
Genya POV
I had been firing my rifle for hours. Just pull the trigger and reloaded when I had to. But there just seemed to be no end to them. The rest of the archers were running out of ammo so I had to produce those as well. Good thing I'm an unlimited ammo supplier. The bad thing is I have to focus to make it. So I kept shooting and creating. Over and over again for hours. Then I heard another horn blow and saw a troll destroy part of the wall. I fired two shots at its eyes blinding it then saw Ottar kill it. Then right after I saw a beam of ice patch the hole in the wall sealing the breach. I felt hopeful seeing the breach being plugged but that hope was shattered when I saw the whole wall come down.
"GET READY THEY'RE IN THE CASTLE" I shouted knowing our job just got a lot harder. So we fired and fired and fired again. This time I don't even know how long. However, I was pulled out of my trance by a voice.
"Well done young man and young lady. You two are remarkable shots" he said.
I quickly turned around to shoot him but he was right in my face in a second. I didn't have time to blink before my gun shattered and I felt all my ribs break. Feeling that my legs couldn't support my weight anymore I started falling but not before the figure grabbed me by the collar of my shirt.
"Oh for someone who had a weapon that can break the sound barrier you sure are slow," the man said sounding disgusted. But now that I got a better look at him I knew he was no man.
"Oh, you're not an average adventurer you're a demon slayer aren't you? Tell me do you know who I am" he asked. It was then that I finally got a good look at him and for the second time in my life I felt pure unadulterated fear.
"Oh, so you see the number in my eyes. So now you know how fucked you are weakling" upper moon three said to me.
I don't know what happened next all I know is that I bit his arm and then felt like I was flying. Wait I'm now flying I'm falling.
Nezuko POV
Everyone in the tower was dead. This demon came in and killed all the men leaving the women alive. Yet that didn't mean the draugers were the same. Thanks to losing half our number we were soon overwhelmed by them. I was making my way to the top of the tower to get to Genya but when I got there I saw the demon throw him off.
"NO" I shouted as I knew my friend was probably dead. The demon hearing me turned around and looked directly into my eyes signaling his draugers to stop.
"Ah so you're his sister," he said and then killed all the draugers behind me. "He wouldn't want you dead so if you want to live stay here," he said before jumping off the tower and going god knows where.
Ottar POV
These monsters as Bell called them were stronger than normal monsters on the surface. But if I had to put them on a floor of the dungeon I'd have to say they'd be on the same level as Minotaurs. However, this was just their common foot soldier so judging the enemy's current strength would be difficult. My lady's beloved is doing quite well despite being swarmed multiple times. Maybe he will become the strongest one day but that day is far away.
After I few more swings I felt it. There was a powerful presence in the tower and as fast as it was there it was gone. But thanks to my momentary distraction I wasn't able to see the traveler heading towards Bell until it was too late. I watched as it used its great sword to hit Bell and the impact sent him flying to the center of the castle. I saw the traveler pursue and went to follow myself but had to dodge as a blood-red sword nearly slit my throat.
"I didn't even sense him," I thought seeing a man dressed in clothes from the Far East. He wore no armor on it and his sword was blood red with what looked like teeth on some parts of it. It also looked like there were eyes on it as well. I also felt a powerful presence from him stronger than the one from before so my guard was up.
"So, you're the one they call the king. Let's see how well you do" the man said as he faced me. His six eyes peering right into my soul. It looked like there was writing in his eye and when I read it I saw the number one. I said nothing in response to his provocation and readied my sword.
Bell POV
I landed on the ground hard right in front of the tower. I could see the traveler coming towards me slowly trying to build fear within me. It giant sword even bigger than Ottars dragging on the ground. I recalled my axe as I dropped it when I got hit and felt the familiar handle in my hand. When I was about to walk towards it however I noticed a familiar body on the ground near the traveler.
"GENYA" I shouted throwing all caution to the wind as I ran towards him. I slid under the traveler and popped back up behind it. Feeling an immense anger I hit the traveler with my axe sending him skidding into the tower and lodging him into it.
"Genya," I said again once I got to him. He looked like shit and I knew he couldn't fight anymore. But what worries me most was that I didn't know if he was dead or not. That was until I heard him cough and grab my sleeve.
"Up," he said before passing out again. I was confused what did he mean by up? However, I had no time to think as I heard the traveler get himself unstuck from the tower.
"Don't worry Genya I'll kill him and get you somewhere safe" I said activating the frost magic on my axe.
Ganesha POV
"Ganesha how are they doing," Finn asked me.
"Not good we need to hurry they've breached the walls and their generals have taken the field" I replied.
"We're almost there. We should be there by four AM" I heard Finn say.
"Well, what time is it now," I asked.
"2:45 AM lord Ganesha" Shakti replied.
"Hang in there everyone. We're on our way" I thought seeing all the one on ones about to take place.
Nezuko POV
"Who was that demon? Was he one of the upper moons I was told about and how did he know my brother what does he have to do with it? No, no time to think of that right now I'm the last archer and they're gonna need my help" I thought to myself as I picked up my bow again and began to fire. I looked over to the wall holding the gate and to my horror Zenitsu was the last one standing. The gate still held but the wall and its other defenders didn't. However, that didn't deter him as he kept fighting and fighting. So wanting to be by his side I fired an arrow right into a draugers head that was behind him. He didn't have time to look at me but a sudden flinch was all I needed to know. He knew I was helping him.
Akaza POV
Now I heard there was a Hashira here. Oh, where oh where could they be? It was then that I moved my head slightly to the left and a burst of flames went right past me.
"Found you" I cooed inside my head as I sent my fist toward him. He was quick to react cutting my blow right down the middle cutting my arm in half.
"Oh, you're gonna be a fun fight what's your name," I asked him as we both touched down on the ground.
"Kyojuro Rengoku" he replied.
Loki POV
"No why are they there? How can this be monsters and demons working together? No, it looks like the demons have control of them. But how? I thought troubled by the sight of two upper moons.
"No way" I heard Lefyia gasp.
"Lefyia, Loki what's wrong," Aina asked noting both our worried faces.
"It's the upper moons. They're the top demons Muzans personal killers" Lefyia responded surprising me that she knew.
"That's not all" I began and put my divine mirror on Bell. "Bell's fighting a traveler which is no easy enemy either. Hell I had trouble with them and I'm a god"
"Oh my this doesn't seem good then," Ania said taking in all this information.
"It isn't. Damnit where the hell is the rescue team they need help now," I said.
Yes, I know this chapter is kinda rushed but it's like 2 am and I'm tired and didn't want y'all to wait anymore. As you can see the defenders are being pushed back. All their archers except one are dead. One wall has already fallen and a second one is close to and some of the generals have taken to the field. One of which is keeping Ottar from helping Bell. What will happen who knows till next time? And Akaza doesn't kill women if that's why you're wondering why he didn't attack them
Current defender count: 20
Current attacker count: 197,000
