The Male Maou Demon God
Ch 6: Emergency Quest: Stampede 1
Disclaimer: I don't own Arifureta or Monster Girl Encyclopedia characters or their respective universe
This chapter will contain a world explanation, Dialogue heavy, hinted sexual themes, character introductions, Lemons/smut(maybe), uncomfortable themes, dark themes, nudity, blood, gore, and a short chapter
As well fixed the dates a bit on the last chapter as it suddenly became the 14th second half of the chapter. When it should've been the 13th of April instead. That is when Hajime goes and meets Eros/Ishtar as well as their little scene together for a brief period. As all of that should've still been on the 13th not 14th. So just wanted to get that out there in case there's some confusion.
We okay? good Also a Second MGE poll for this Story will be up on my profile for you guys to vote on. As the first poll has ended with the final results being shown below.

Monster Girl Encyclopedia World, Divine Realms, Valhalla's Front Entrance Gate, April 13th, 409 N.O 11 am Hajime, Kremhild, Brunhilde and Unkown Pov
It didn't take long to reach their destination, instantaneous even as he looked up to the massive white walls and massive gate entrance looking to be made of dragon materials. Looking up he could see Valkyries and their heroes flying beyond it within this version of an afterlife where those deemed by Valkyries to enter. Likly not just heroes here those over the ages. Who believed in the Norse or Celtic Pantheons and through their brave actions of some kind allowed them to go past these doors.
And yet he'd likely be the only one to come here while alive judging from the other Valkyries on guard duty. But likely didn't do anything seeing he had Kremhild and Brunhilde behind him. Even if they were a dozen feet apart, the shocked and disbelieving expression of the other Valkyires was cute as he heard Kremhild and Brunhilde speak up
Kremhild "Now then Nagumo Hajime, one of the many chosen heroes by the goddess Eros,"
Hajime "You mean enforcer but carry on" he merely said and slightly stressed the enforcer part with a smile
Brunhilde "Right...Just give us a few minutes to explain to our shocked younger sister there of why. We've brought someone still living here and once we're done, we can get to the crucial part. Of seeing whether or not that whore of goddesses was being truthful or not,"
Hajime "Of course, wouldn't really wish to harm your sisters, if they'd attacked me out of nowhere," he simply said with a smile as he looked back to the gate being blocked by two valkyries.
Yet the walls suddenly filled with Vakyires, heroes of old, as well as brave yet powerful individuals. At the ready for battle while the sky itself was slowly being covered by untold Valkyries ready to launch spears of light. All looking to be outfitted with the same set of armor with only the color scheme of some changing here and there. Instead being the assigned color of dark blue with a golden outline being a different set of armor. Compared to what Brunhilde and Kremhild were wearing. More revered yet still made you desire them in your bed wanting the one-to-one to remove their armor to expose themselves to you.
Kremhild "You'd think you could take on Valhalla and its residents yourself?" she asked with slight amusement yet doubt
Hajime "Not think, but a fact and one I'm certain I'll come ontop on despite the glorious battle and destruction it would cause," he simply said with a slight eager smile having Donner & Schalg in his hands.
Brunhilde "Guess we'll have to disagree on that Nagumo Hajime. Despite you being powerful, a minor god, or an Overlord in your right, I doubt you could take our home. Without it costing your life with myself or Kremhild dealing the final blow," she said in honesty yet a bit serious tone as well as getting in front of him as Kremhild did
Kremhild "Even so, you've made your point and all of us here wouldn't wish needless bloodshed to spill. We'll be seeing you in a minute or so Nagumo Hajime,"
Hajime "Just call me Hajime considering we'll be together for a long while considering I doubt I would perish from old age,"
Kremhild and Brunhilde merely smiled at his words before walking toward their younger sisters to explain what was going on. While they were doing that Hajime merely made his weapon disappear back into his treasure trove. Minus Black Blade beside him as he sat upon the sliver yet dark blue paved road that lead passed the gate. As ell Looking behind him down into a large village he could see other divine beings.
As well likely the souls of the dead who weren't worth entering Valhalla, or didn't believe in the Norse/Celtic faiths, or just happened to be part of the village. Simply because they perished in Norse or Celtic cultured territories down in the mortal realm as it were. They weren't Valkyries but he did spot a massive Mosque there with other Massive Churches there. Belong to the order there meaning they had tiny attachments to this divine realm though not to the extent that Eros probably had.
He could also see the mountainous ranges and other roads likely leading to other divine realms here. As well as the massive Yggdrasil branch covering the entire village in the center of it. Likly lead to the nine realms of this world or dimension and were likely where the reaming Norse pantheon goddess resided. He would say gods but he'd doubt there were any of male kind left having been TS'd by the current Overlord when she took power. Much like she did to the Chief Goddess who once was called the Chief God.
But as he'd wondered that he'd sensed Kremhild and Brunhilde coming back to him. So he stood up again looking over the very nice yet beautiful view take a picture of it with his Smartphone artifact. Before turning back to face the two in question as he pocked his smartphone into his coat.
Hajime "Everything is good to go?"
Kremhild "Yes, though much like myself and my elder sister they have doubts you could open the gate,"
Hajime "I understand, so do I have to just place my hand upon it?"
Brunhilde "You could do that but the Gate would open itself if it deems you worthy to pass through. To reach where those deemed by us to be worthy heroes or champions. As well as brave individuals be they men or women who never ran in the face of death. Or did something impressive enough for Valallha itself deem them worthy beyond its walls? Be it grand or small such as risking your life for nothing more than the desire to save the person or creature in front of you. Or sacrificing yourself in a last stand to save your comrades against an army," she continues
Brunhilde "I could continue by giving examples but you'd get the gist. Those within the walls of their females become Valkyries having acceded as it were. While the men all become our male counterparts being Einherjar. Though I have no doubt if any of them descended into the mortal or demon realms. They'd transform over time if not immediately into a female. Luckily that hasn't happened again since the rise of the new overlord as we have a few female Einherjar left. A dozen or so(13) considering they were the only serving Einherjar left after the war against the previous Overlord,"
Hajime "So they don't become Valkyries then since they're females?"
Kremhild "I can see why you'd asked that but no. Their entire separate race compared to us Valkyries and the moment has finally come to terms with being the opposite gender. Much like I and Brunhilde along with our closest younger siblings being the top 13 strongest. They are currently the strongest 13 Einherjar we have simply called the Old Guard. One is called such a thing as their the oldest of the current generation of Einherjar and two pay respect to the previous Einherjar generation. That they were part of, who fell in battle with their Valkyrie partner or partners,"
Kremhild "As such the new Einherjar by their chosen Valkyrie or Valkyries and by the Old Gaurd. Have been forbidden unless absolutely necessary for them to decent into the Mortal or Monster Realm. As such they could only go between the various divine realms we have around here and even then it's still a risk for them. Seeing as we have monsters or divine beasts before who would desire to have them. As their chosen partner or one to use to increase their numbers as the father of their eventual children. As you could imagine my younger siblings aren't too keen on having their hero or rather husband taken away from them,"
Hajime "I see, so then what plagues the world below affects here as well then?"
Brunhilde "The current Overlord and her Hero husbands have been very thorough in making sure nothing escaped their eyes. Or senses as all were transformed even the gods themselves becoming goddesses. The ones that weren't goddesses, to begin with like Eros or Ares,"
Hajime "I guess I was wrong in thinking the afterlife was spared from the chaos afflicting down below. Along with the fact I won't have to alter the gate itself to allow myself gain entrance to this place," he said the last part in confidence as with slight smile he began to walk towards Massive Gate entrance about 130 meters tall and 50 meters wide.
He didn't have to wait long as he and everyone saw the Gate itself ring out claiming yet welcoming melody. While it glowed its light blue glow mixed with his crimson mana aura. That if he had to guess was doing everything it could to register him to be able to come and go. As on top of the melody they heard it unlock with a loud click as it slowly opened up to reveal what was behind it.
Kremhild "How?" she asked out in shock yet had a very large grin
Brunhilde "He's still alive so why is it opening!?" she may have yelled out but like her young sister, she had a very large grin on her face as she wished to laugh out in madding tone
But compared to all of their younger siblings and Einherjars's shocked or disbelieving expressions. They wanted to cry with joy despite the fact it was Eros who had introduced him to them.
Brunhilde (I thank you oh goddess of love for having the being in front of us be our partner. I hope you don't regret it later on when you and every other deity are left in this place. Baring a few expectations are on your knees begging for your miserable lives to be spared! For playing and messing with lives for your pleasure, entertainment, or whim for oh so long. The Era of Man is finally able to come into effect after almost succeeding oh so long ago during the King of Heroes Era. We'll make sure unlike back then when all the deities,) she'd counties to internal say with glee and a bit madding excitement as bit of sadistic yet excited smile made its way onto her face
Brunhilde (Came together to stop Gilgamesh and their rouge weapon Enkidu in a last desperate attempt. As the two had created never before seen peace with the Overlord at the time. As they faced him and his forces in a great war lost to time) She thought with glee yet madness feeling her face flush and her whole body swell with lust. As she'd felt the corruption once more expanding within her but still didn't make her fall
The same could be said for Kremhild as she'd looked upon the back of their new partner. With the weapon in her hands suddenly felt in shock and surprise feeling its hold vessel expanding. Not by much but it was there as it also looked to the reason why this was happening after so long
Balmug Kremhild (I see so that is who will be our sheath and reason for our existence. Wait for us Nagumo Hajime) it thought in surprised maddening loving matter knowing her vessel. Was swelling with lust and excitement wanting nothing more than to just have their way with their future husband. But stubbornly was holding itself back from doing so.
Hajime seeing the gate fully open wide for him seeing beyond it had a very large smile. Considering he may as well looking at his retirement home or if he wanted to use this place. A grand and luxurious vacation spot where he could relax and not worry about anything else likely having his home. Already come into existence within this warm and merry place that goes on for miles and miles in every direction.
Thus turning around after transmuting a Gate Hall within this holy place to see Kremhild and Brunhilde bending a knee towards him. But not showing him their faces though if what he smelling off them was true, then he understood. Why they didn't wish to show him to their faces when they were exploding with lust? Perhaps on the verge of having an orgasm where they stood but didn't understand why to would be the case. Even so
Hajime "Alright then, since I've proven myself worthy of entering this lovely and beautiful place. Honestly, I wouldn't mind living in it for the rest of my time, but alas, shall we head back to the battlefield that awaits us?" he merely asked them to their kneeling figures
Kremhild/Brunhilde "As you wish Hero Hajime," they both said to him with respect and a slightly warm tone as they still kept their heads down as they activated their teleportation magic again
After all, well he was pretty certain all and any suspicion of him died. As the entire force saw three pillars of light descend from the heavens in an instant. As he stood side by side with Kremhild and Brunhilde in hand. In turn, raising the morale of the troops as they shouted screams of joy seeing his arrival with Valkyries in toe.
A few days later Anti-Monster State/Religious Kingdom of Lescatie, 40 miles east of the Trading Town of Cast, Open Plains/Battleground, Commanders' Tent April 15th, 1 pm 409 N.O Multi Pov
It didn't take them long before they'd run into the stampede that was just 5 miles away from them. And that sadly ment in all honesty any hope for the villagers or the escort detail. Much less those parts of the caravan are likely gone for the most part and by the reports coming in. It seemed they'd increased in size as now they were staring down an army for the most part. Filled with mostly Slimes and Goblins for their rank and file but a few other extra monsters not mentioned before or much sighted this deep in Lescatie. After all, you expected those in the frontline or deep within the forest. Well, save for a few where they could only come from the frontline.
Rank E adventurer #290 "And that's all most of our recon and intel gathering we have on the stampede guild master," she said to her in a casual but honest tone as she stood informing pretty much everyone in the tent. Though, everyone could easily tell she was a bit nervous but was understandable facing such a large force.
Inoa(From Chikara Aru Succubus wa Seiyoku o Mitashitai dake series by road equals road) Former S rank "Good work and make sure you alongside your party get some rest, I doubt we have long before battle commences," she said in a commanding but warm tone giving her a smile
The adventure after that merely excuses herself before running off back with her party and the others. Seeing her leave he spoke up looking at everyone's varied expressions
Hajime "Best ask this now but do you believe we'll be able to survive until reinforcement arrives like we'd thought before this new information came?"
Leon "We had a shot with your two valkyries but, not when they're going to be occupied. In fighting off against the two Zombie Dragons they have there,"
Vault "Not to mention the extra 20 or so lesser succubuses added to their force,"
Griffith "Nor the fact we have to be fighting two Dark Mages, Two Witches, their Familiars, Four High Orcs with two squadrons of Red Caps as well. And to top it all off have a Manticore and Chimera in their mix as if the situation wasn't as grim. We're just lucky the priestesses haven't become Dark Priests unlike now where they're just lesser succubuses,"
Inoa "So your all saying this is a losing battle?"
Vault "That mostly depends on how quickly Hajime's valkyries could defeat the Zombie Dragons alongside you Guild Master. I would take a crack at myself but that would mean all of us B-rank parties. Would have to join that fight leaving the rest of the force undefended or without overarching leadership. Even then we'd be out of our league since even we know currently none of us have the means of fighting the Zombie Dragons. Not without the two valkyries anyways,"
Inoa "Okay, so we can't win this battle without taking a huge risk in hoping myself along with the two valkyries. Take care of the two Zombie Dragons within a certain timeframe. That only assumes that High Orcs, Dark Mages, Witches, and Red Caps are dealt with by you guys within a certain timeframe. As well so that our adventures, priests, priestesses, and knights aren't overwelled. By the succubus and the rest of her stampede force as that was already bad enough as is,"
Leon "I'm sure all of here are in agreement with that assessment Guild Master,"
All other B-rank Leaders "She's not wrong," they other say in agreement
Inoa "I guess the only choice is a fighting retreat back to the Cast's walls and be under siege till reinforcements arrive, damm it!"
Hajime "I'm sure all of us feel the same way as you do thinking we'd had a good chance at winning. We do however that would just waste the lives of all other adventures. As we will likely lose at least half of the parties here should we try? That's not even counting we may just lose all of the Orders priests, priestesses, and knights here,"
Griffith "Then the best course of action would be is eliminating as many as we can. Before doing the fighting retreat back to town with hopefully not too many losses in doing so. While we may not like it, the walls will certainly give us the needed time for reinforcement to arrive,"
Inoa "Guess that's the only course of action then, inform everyone of the plan. We start in being the assaults in 30 minutes so do your last round of checkups. I hope we all see each other just like now,"
All B rank Ledaer & Hajime "Likewise," they all said in unison
Anti-Monster State/Religious Kingdom of Lescatie, 40miles east of the Trading Town of Cast, open plains/battleground, April 15th, 4 pm 409 N.O Narrator pov
It was silent besides the seductive giggles or cat calls from the monster side of things. As the only thing that separated both was 5 miles of open fields where all the monsters were coming towards them. Either flying or on the ground they were approaching fast with the Zombie Dragons in front of the stampede. They were outnumbered 10 to one but that didn't matter to Inoa or everyone else.
Since most of the forces were weak monsters with a few heavy hitters here and there going to be taken care of by the B rank parties. As well as the Guild Master as she order everyone within the formation to charge as varied spells began to ring out. Only a variety of darkened(Purple, Pink, Red, Black) magical shields began to appear. Likly has been cast by the Succubus, Dark Mages, Witches, and the Lesser Succubuses that were once Priestesses.
To counteract their magical artillery barrage but that was within expectations. As explosions of ice, wind, or other elements detonated hitting the shields covering most of the monster force. But not all were unscathed as a few slimes and goblins fell in that barrage. Sure enough Inoa after being given a rune of flight by Brunhilde to join her and her sister. All three flew into the sky and charged straight ahead into the incoming Dragon Zombies initiating their battle in the air as the shock waves and winds reverberated down below.
Letting the Manticore, Chimera, and other 15 lesser succubus not defend the forces with shields. Pass by them or rather didn't have the wiggle room to do so as a counter barrage of pink and purple light was shot at their force. Obviously, their lightened shields( White, Blue, Green, and Yellow) were deployed as well to counter this magical barrage. And this continued for a good 5 minutes of shields and counter barrage on both sides with the Monster force getting closer and closer. Losing a few numbers here and there but not enough to decimate their force.
As for the adventures side of things just barely holding one trying to feed off the magical monster man barrage. Not having lost anyone yet as arrows, magical shots, and bullets were being shot. At the lesser Succbues, Manticore, and Chimera flew in the sky always diving for attacks. But missing their mark or blocked by B-rank parties to deal with a few attacks here and they. Before they flew up and dodged or blocked the attacks only to repeat the processes time and again.
The Manticore and Chimera are being kept at bay by the other B-rank parties with the Knightly Roses, Black Dogs, and White Falcons. Maintaining the line being mostly melee-based classes besides a few of their members. Who was directing alongside the other spell casters the second line while the healers and support classes were in the rear of the formation? Providing buffs and the main ones doing the barrier spells to cover the entire force saying energy for the midline to continue. Their barrage bombardments upon the massive monster force. Slowly chipping away from it but all knew wasn't going to be enough.
Sure enough, the order to charge was given with the spell-casting classes falling back a bit behind the melee types. As they met mid-way with the monsters in question battle cries and loud glee rang out. Hajime himself had stayed behind with the healer and support line alongside the weaker knights and adventures to protect them. Or needed to bring up supplies like healing potions or whatnot. Along with the fact the last line of defense when the retreat would inevitably be called. And finally, rotate out with the wounded or tired adventures as fresh troops as it were. While the wounded or tired would rest a bit before they would join the fray to repeat the cycle.
It was chaos, to say the least as a battle of legends was being fought in the air with Brunhilde, Kremhild, and Inoa. Clashed hit or dodged attacks from the two Dragon Zombies who had. incredible teamwork like the two valkyries that it was a tough fight knowing to never take serious hits from Kremhild or Brunhilde's weapons. Or they dodge some of the rune spells being directed at them or curses. At the same time never give Ioan too much of an opening to strike and vice versa. As loud booms always ranging out when their claws or fists clashed with one another or parried.
Yet not even five minutes into the battle wounded adventures would start to appear retreating with Hajime. Giving out orders to a few people to move into the frey while he and others went to escort them back to camp. While dodging stray attacks or spells of course but still not a good sign. Its explosions, clashes, and battle cries rang out through the battlefield.

The battle had started going against the expeditionary force taking their first losses over the course of two hours. As B rank Gramson and his Tea party had fallen in battle as it were. Alongside another B-rank party called Angel with their leader Ismia being lost. To the Manticore, Chimera, and a few goblins that they were fighting off and haven't been seen since. The only solace was, for now, that group of force wasn't anywhere to be seen either.
They were the only casualties though as you could see through the battlefield of monsters having their way to fallen adventures, or knights. Not caring battle still raged on with their pleas to stop or the monsters' moanful glees being drowned out by the constant fighting. But it did affect morale though as people were either trying to rescue them or trying to put them out of their misery. With the monsters in question fighting even harder in preventing such a thing. Having gotten a second wind and more ravenous likely knowing. They could get a husband or at least have some fun.
The only good news would be that all four High Orcs were dealt with but the combined efforts of Knighlty Roses, Black Dogs, and White Falcons. But were badly "wounded" and a few members were suffering next to nothing mana. Unable to get up needing to be carried or dragged by a few other members. It was at this tie that Hajime and a few others including priests joined the fight proper. Being the next wave as it were yet making sure their comrades were led to safety.
While up in the skies at least it was looking in Inoa and the valkyries' favor with the Zombie dragons looking very wounded but still able to fight. Starting what may as well have been stage two of a boss fight. As both Zombie Dragons were backed into a corner thus unpredictable on what they might do next having nothing to lose. Yet bot valkyries and Ioan were getting dangerously low on mana and panting heavily. But still pushed on to the fight with Kremhild and Brunhilde looking for the right time to unleash their attacks. Or rather get the chance two as always when they were about two the twin Zombie Dragons. Would always make sure they didn't either with their breath attacks or spells of their own.
Even so, the whole battle wasn't looking in their favor it was looking like the first line was going to fall. Despite the fact of numerous dead monsters around, there were still a lot of them. Hajime's presence there didn't matter even if was pulling his weight as were as struck down goblin after goblin, Slime girl after slime girl, or even a few lesser succubus.
Said lesser succubuses unfortunately being what once were the priestesses comrades. They once fought alongside him against these creatures before falling in battle with only himself and Blake making it out. Seems he had been the reason for their unfortunate physical attraction turning into forceful and twisted love. Having to strike them once they came for him. Having slaying three of them with their last words being simple I love yous or saying Next time. Should they come back into the world they wouldn't fail. He didn't love them but still made his blood boil desiring to go for the Succubus in charge of this operation.
He would win despite the fact she was being protected by the still-alive Dark Mages, Witches, Familars, and two minotaurs. But that would expose him to being more capable than naught. Which would get him sent to the frontline despite the fact of having Valkyires around. As both Brunhilde and Kremhild said they only came with him saying he might be a potential hero in the future. Hence they would be his valkyries to see if that might be true, hence he was still an adventurer, not a hero.
Thus he wouldn't do that and just leave it to the others if they can cut the snake's head as it were. As those around him saw him fall back to where more allies were and attacked them as a group being a ten v ten as it were. With Hajime having to fight the minotaur that was part of said group

The battle for the most part if they were intending to win didn't occur but that wasn't the aim anymore when the Zombie Dragons and the other higher-ranked monsters appeared. The battle was lost as they sounded the retreat with the third line sprung into action trying to hold the line. Making sure the major got away a good distance before retreating. Assuming they could retreat for that matter as all knew this would likely be their last stand if not for the majority of them. Hence the case of each of them having a deadly poison on them.
To take it that way they wouldn't have to suffer the expected fate before them. With Hajime and his valkyries staying part of the third line seeing as earlier Inoa and the valkyries had finished off the twin Zombie dragons. With evidence of the battle being all over the battlefield but by then it was too late for them to make a difference. Having taken heavy casualties or said casualties turning into the enemy via monsterization.
However, they've achieved their aim of culling down th numbers of the stampede to reasonable numbers should they have to defend the town. All the dark mages, witches, familiars, and minotaurs had perished in battle. Along with other higher-rank monsters such as the company of trolls and Orcs. Blood, gore, semen, and juice littered and covered the land. Practically drinking it all with dark miasma staring to form looking to terraform into a monster realm or rather likely will.
With still sounds of moaning could be heard by their fallen comrades who numbered more than half. The majority of the B-rank parties were lost minus the Knightly Roses, Black Dogs, and White Falcons. The Knightly roses were knocked out as they were being carried away with Black Dogs having lost the majority of their members. With just Vault and one other member left from their 10-plus party with the same being White Falcons. Only Griffith and Casca survived as both leaders and now vice leaders organizing the retreat. Alongside the exhausted Guild master Inoa for the remainder of the tired and wounded force.
Thus it was just Hajime and his sub-leaders alongside the team leaders of his group only numbering about 22 in total. If you counted Brunhilde and Kremhild as they were against only 200 goblins from 1000, 100 slimes with two slime queens left out of 50, 17 lesser succubus that are former Order priestesses, and the succubus herself. One of the powerful ranks is a Duke in terms of rank thus making her at least A+ rank bordering S on the monster scale. While the remaining lesser succubus are former order priestesses. So they'd be strong than civilian or guard succubus being D or C rank, no instead they were likely B rank in terms of scale.
All of that versus the 22 of them and as far as everyone was concerned it was an even fight with Kremhild and Brunhilde on their side. It had started off with the monster hoard charging them. When Brunhilde and Kremhild launched their attacks mowing down waves of goblins and slimes. With everyone else providing covering fire for them.
Well, as much they could with arrows and low-tier spells with lesser succubuses and Duke Succubus trying to protect what they could. As they'd gotten n close but soon. Both Kremhild and Brunhilde were very close to running out of mana and couldn't use it all. Else they risk even more monster mana going into their body than it currently was. Making them fallen valkyries at that point and that wasn't something they desired if they could help it.
As such, they all charged the remaining 30 goblins, 20 slimes, 10 lesser succubuses, two slime queens, and the succubus leader in question. In the remaining adventures, knights, priests, and priestesses clashed. Both valkyries were on the defensive in trying to fight 4 lesser succubuses each when normally wouldn't be the case. Same with the fact of them having to fight the twin Zombie dragons as they were more powerful than originally thought. While Hajime was being forced to fight the leader needed to weave or dodge attacks from her. Much less making sure wasn't hit by her use of lewd yet powerful spells.
All tried the best they could to hold the line in whatever capacity they could. Being just lucky the other monsters of the force were occupied in their spoils of conquest with some finding their husband. As such they only had to face the current force engaging them and well they held out long. Way longer than anyone did expect but soon their line was breached. As they began to fall one by one trying to use the poison but it seems the monsters were making sure. That didn't happen again even if they had to break their hands. Something even they could tell they never desired to do even so that just ment they wouldn't die.
As now many would begin to beg to stop or spit curses at the one defiling their bodies. While the monsters giggled and cooed in glee having their turn as their moans joined in with the others. One by bloody one fell just leaving the valkyries and Hajime left standing they began to make their way out avoiding or dodging attacks. They'd ended up getting away after Hajime put a bit more effort into severely wounding the lesser succubuses and succubus leader. Forcing them to stop in their pursuit as all three booked it out o there.
But again even if they'd gotten away, and done great damage to the enemy, they'd lost too many of their forces... the quest was a failure...
Anti-Monster State/Religious Kingdome of Lescatie, 15 miles from battle site open plains/temporary camp, April 15th, 6:10 pm multi pov
There were still many recovering from the battle yet there were very few of them now. A hollow shell of what they'd used to be as only a squadron of knights, the heads of Chruchs within the town. With few followers than before including Blake compare to their previous numbers. Losing many E-D rank parties only four remained. Lost most of their B-rank parties save for Knightly Roses and the remnants of Black Dogs as well White Falcon. They were barely breaching in the high 70s compared to the hundreds they used to be.
It was then however all of them heard a shout from the overwatch detail as all within the commander's tent pushed out. To see what they were calling out and the slight cheering that going on
Vault "I guess I was right that he wouldn't perish in that massive battle," he merely said with a bit of a smile yet red tear streaks could be seen on his face. Likly having cried for the loss of his childhood friends and comrades that didn't make it out.
Griffith "Seems to be the case," he said honestly while also having the same red tear streaks on his for the loss of his comrades and frustration with himself in allowing such failure to happen
Leon "It went without saying," she also said having woken up an hour ago with the rest of her party hearing the news that the quest was a failure. Despite the fact they'd dealt immense damage to the enemy as she looked out to see Hajime being flanked by Brunhilde and Kremhild.
Waving to them as those still able went to go get them and bring them in. But it also went without saying that he and his valkyries walking towards them alone, ment everyone else. Was most likely dead or suffering the worst fate if they didn't get the chance to take the deadly poison. Even so, it was always good to have an extra pair of hands or two no matter how small it may be.
They aren't out of the woods yet as it were until they reached the walls of the town.
...To be...continued...maybe?
Thanks for reading till the end and hope was a decent chapter. Along with hoping the interactions between the characters weren't forced in any way. That said next chapter may or may not have "cultured" scenes. As to when that'll come out who knows but hopefully soon.
Do leave reviews or criticisms if you wished to do so and again the second poll will be up on my profile for you guys to vote on. Should you wish to do so that is. That said have a nice day or nice where ever you have, bye
