Hey hey hey! What's up people? I'm sorry I've suddenly stopped updating again out of the blue, my interest in this story has just been coming and going these past few months, but now I'm currently more motivated than ever before after season 5 dropped. If you still haven't checked it out, you're definitely missing out, sh!t's about to get real. I'll power through the Rakian Invasion arc and then immediately proceed with the next arc as things actually get more interesting from there on. I've regained the mood to write stories again so I'll be here for a while longer hehe. Once again, I'm sorry for taking so long to update, I'll try to be more consistent with things though I can't guarantee a schedule of release, I'd say a chapter or two every two weeks? But don't count on that, it still depends on how busy I am with life, and my volatile interest. Anyways, that's all I have to say for now, let's proceed with the story! Please don't forget to leave comments and suggestions about the story, I love reading through the comments, it keeps me motivated to keep going with the story. Thank you to every single person who took the time out of their day to give my story a read and review.

I do not own Danmachi

Third Person POV:

The entire area of the battlefield just outside the protective walls of Orario was shook with a powerful tremor

All who were present at the location immediately found the atmosphere to be tense and heavy as the Prum Captain of the Loki Familia unchained the dormant beast within himself

Many of the surrounding Rakian soldiers simply fled due to their senses being overwhelmed with fear for their health and safety on the instinctual level, this was how terrifyingly strong and dangerous the Prum's power increase made him

General Walthers did not only notice his opponent's dramatic increase in power, he could feel it. His opponent was nothing like earlier, he now currently enjoyed at least a profound increase of stats tantamount to a level up

His blood was beginning to boil from excitement and bloodthirst in anticipation of letting loose with such a powerful opponent

"Finally! I was just starting to get bored!"

He wiped a stray streak of blood that fell from his nostril, not paying mind to the stinging pain of his broken nose

"I was just about to wrap things up with you lot and then go on a rampage against the remaining enemies"

His smile became maniacal as the fire in his eyes grew. Finn's eyes became blood red as his atavistic rage focused on the lone target in front of himself

"Well it still won't be enough to beat me! Though it will make things more fun!"

Taunting his enemy, the General did not wait for his enemy to make the first move as he rushed forward

Without his sword in hand, he opted to have a fistfight with his opponent

Finn though was not thinking the same, at least not initially as he still clutched the handle of what was once his perfectly good spear that had been broken during their fight earlier

With the least amount of warning, Finn rushed forward himself to meet his opponent halfway

Raising the handle above his head for swinging, he let out a mighty roar as he unleashed his attack

But the attack had been prematurely stopped by the General catching the handle mid-swing with both his arms

This had been Finn's intention as he let go of the handle as allowed himself to fall onto the floor and launch himself off and unleash a powerful hook right onto his opponent's abdomen, severely denting the armor and bypassing the General's defense.

Though rendered less cognitive by his magic, he still possessed an adequate amount of reason and cognizance to scheme and strategize

"AUGH!"

The General grimaced due to the pain and had sent a swat at the Prum in retaliation

But despite his impressive speed due to his heavily boosted stats, he still proved insufficient in speed to actually hit Braver as he wasn't the only one that enjoyed a dramatic increase in his stats

Barely avoiding the swat, Finn cocked his arm once more, aiming for another precise blow toward the larger man

This time, it was sent toward his face with full force

It would've been a clean hit had it not been for the General blocking the punch with both arms as Finn clenched his jaw in frustration

He would've tried for another go at the enemy but the General didn't allow him to take the initiative once again. Tightly grabbing ahold of his arm, he swung the Prum onto the ground, knocking the breath out of Finn as he hissed in pain at the very likely dislocation of his arm

Still holding onto the Prum's arm tightly, Walthers pressed his boot onto the Prum's chest as he screamed in pain, unable to do anything as he struggled to not be crushed under the formidable general's boot

"Do tell, is this the best of what Orario has to offer?"

The General smiled in a cordial manner, but his actions couldn't be further from that

He was growing ever stronger in the midst of the fight, so much so that even after receiving such a dramatic power boost, Finn was still at a disadvantage

"GHHH!"

Clenching his jaw until it hurt, the enraged Finn struggled to free himself from the iron grip of his opponent

Walthers' falsely congenial smile suddenly turned bloodthirsty as he applied more pressure on the Prum's chest as Finn began vocalizing his agony

The pain-filled screams of the Captain of the Loki Familia only served to further the Rakian general's bloodlust

Until they stopped as the Prum who had been supposedly writhing in agony moments ago smirked and launched a fistful of dirt he clenched with his free arm right toward the face of the General, which he did not see coming

Blinded by the assault on his sense of vision, he now in fact could not see anything coming

"GAHHHHH! YOU LIT-"

In the midst of his livid exclamations, he had felt the Prum stick a knife through his leg, bypassing the armor with the stab

Forced to move his leg away due to the sudden sharp pain in his leg, Walthers then felt his jaw crack from the force of Finn's uppercut, launching him into the air as blood and sputum were forcefully ejected out of his oral cavity

"RAGGGGHHHHHH!"

Disallowing the General any respite, Gareth violently collided with the falling body, putting all of his power behind the attack and sending the enemy crashing some distance away with the landing resulting in a loud and large crash that threw dust and soot everywhere as well as caused a large tremor around the area

Gareth made sure to launch the enemy far away from where most of the action was currently taking place, for they sure didn't want any collateral damage caused by what was about to come next

"AUGH! That hurt a lot...!"

Walthers snarled due to the pain he felt all throughout his body, his collision with the dwarf most definitely broke a few bones here and there

Barely able to get himself up to a sitting position, he could only do nothing but watch as a powerful magic blast was sent toward him

Too weak to evade, he could only brace himself as the blast hit

The resulting explosion rocked the entire vicinity and even briefly lit up the night in such a way that it seemed to become as bright as daytime for a few seconds

Riveria had gathered a formidable amount of magical power and launched it right at the enemy, free from any worry that her attack will cause collateral damage thanks to her dwarven comrade

All who happened to have been glancing toward the direction of the explosion as it happened were temporarily blinded

Due to the ferocity of the explosion, pretty much everybody had stopped to fight to see what was going on

"Hmph, I was starting to think that ye were actually getting yer ass handed to yas, Finn"

Back to the three High Executives of the Loki Familia, Gareth huffed as he teased his friend who smiled at him, his magical spell still in effect

"Had to make it as convincing as I could or he wouldn't let his guard down like that"

The blonde Prum smiled sheepishly as they looked toward the large smoke pillar billowing toward the sky in the distance

"But it's still unexpected that he'd let his guard down at all, I guess we shouldn't have expected much since he was just a level four as he claimed to be"

Riveria sighed as she walked toward her two other comrades, Gareth gave the high elf a look

"Riveria... ya actually believe what the guy was blabberin' on about?"

The high elf closed her eyes and nodded solemnly

"It's not out of the realm of possibility, it doesn't strike me as impossible that Evilus could create such a device, but only if they had the resources to do so..."

Finn's eyes widened at what she implied

"Where do you think they'd be getting the funds from?"

The Prum asked as they all held a grim expression

They would get to the bottom of this once they fend off the Rakian Invasion, they'll be asking any and all captured soldiers many questions afterwards

It seems Evilus was once again increasing the frequency of their activities after years of inactivity, Finn's thumb began to ache as his mind remembered the many unfortunate events during the Dark Ages Orario experienced more than a decade ago

Pushing those thoughts aside for later, they then turn their attention back toward the site of the collision earlier as the dust began to clear and a lone figure could be made out

The heavily injured and unconscious figure of General Walthers lay on the ground, his armor had been completely destroyed by the explosion as extensive burns littered his body. Some Rakian soldiers nearby rushed toward one of their Great Generals in order to tend to him, but it was no use... he was down for the count.

"G-G-Great General Walthers is down!"

One Rakian soldier shouted, which sent many into a panic as demoralization crept through the ranks

Many soldiers simply gave up then and there and ran away straight back to the enemy camp set up in the distance, to report, or to cower in fear at their inevitable defeat and capture, or both

But there were some that; despite this demoralizing development of events, refused to back down without a fight. Seeing their fellow soldiers turn tail and run away filled them with anger as they started swinging at any and all of the running soldiers that they saw

"COWARDS! YOU ALL DARE TO HUMILIATE THE KINGDOM OF RAKIA, ITS KING, AND GOD?!"

One soldier screamed bloody murder as he cut down any deserters his eyes witnessed

Slashing one soldier in the neck for his treachery, he kicked him down as he left him to bleed out and lashed out at another soldier rushing to the base

Grabbing another deserter by the neck, he prepared to strike him down as he begged for mercy

Fortunately for him, mercy did come... and struck down the berserker soldier about to end his life

A level boosted Mikoto struck him at the back of the head as he fell down unconscious

Despite the level boost only giving her the abilities of a high level three, she was able to overcome the level difference and knock the enemy out due to him being vulnerable as he cut down his fellow soldiers

"T-Thank you for saving me..."

The Rakian soldier whose life was spared bowed as she nodded and gestured toward the Rakian encampment with her sword

The soldier got the message as he continued running away from the site of the battle

"RAGHHH!"

She turned her head toward the sound of the scream and saw that Welf and another livid soldier were locked in a sword duel

"How could you slash at your comrades like that?! Are they that dispensable to you?!"

Agitated that his opponent could care less about his comrades, Welf put every bit of strength he had in his swings which had significant weight with his level-boosted status, giving his opponent a difficult battle

"HOW COULD YOU POSSIBLY UNDERSTAND?! TRAITOR!"

The man spat venom back toward Welf as he retaliated with his own powerful swings against Welf's own

The Hestia Familia smith's eyes widened as he heard his opponent's words

His surprised expression confirming the soldier's suspicion, he continued

"Yeah, I thought so, Welf Crozzo the traitor to the Rakian Kingdom!"

Gritting his teeth, Welf gave it his best but they were evenly matched and thus one did not gain the advantage over the other

The fight would have continued on like this if it were not for an arrow flying right into the soldier's eye slit, striking him dead

"Master Welf, please refrain from dragging the fight out unnecessarily!"

The high-pitched voice of Lily shrieked in annoyance as she reloaded the ballista she had installed on her arm as a weapon

"I wasn't dragging the fight, pipsqueak!"

The smith rebutted her accusation as Lily sighed and then turned to the Renard of the Familia currently casting her level-boosting magic behind her

"Lady Haruhime, can you still keep up the boost? We'll still be needing it for a while longer to help the others"

Haruhime nodded

"The spell should be active for a few more minutes, we must make haste"

Lily nodded at her words and then looked back at the others

"You heard her everyone, we need to make the most of her spell and help as many people as we can. Only after that can we regroup with Master Bell"

The rest nodded at their Vice Captain's plan

"Well come on then, enough dillydallying"

Welf charged ahead of the group as he rushed another foe who struck at any deserting soldier that came nearby, with the rest following closely behind him

"Kid, you have exactly five seconds to let go of my arm before I put you to sleep..."

The Rakian General named Alexander narrowed his eyes dangerously as he stared down the unwavering form of Bell Cranel, who remained unprovoked by the threat and only tightened his grip further on his opponent's arm

"Make me"

These were the only words that left Bell Cranel's lips, but that was all it took to enrage the General in front of him

Quickly letting go of the elf he held onto, he went for a swing aimed at the boy

Who reacted faster than he could see and deftly dodged the quick attack aimed at him

With him in an awkward position, Bell took full advantage of his agility and delivered a powerful slug aimed right at the man's solar plexus, which dented the armor but otherwise didn't do much but knock the wind out of the General a bit

Bell's eyes narrowed at his observation

'He's probably as strong as Mr. Ottar!'

He thought back to when he and the rest fought Ottar during the War Game

Truth be told, Ottar was much stronger than this foe right in front of him with his ability of beastification, but it did not mean that this enemy was to be taken lightly, he was still as strong as around a high level seven

"Gah! Good one, kid..."

Alexander commended as he inspected the fist-shaped dent that was now present right in the center of his breastplate, eyebrow raising

"Not bad at all, you are indeed a strong opponent!"

Bell's eyes narrowed and anxiously studied his opponent's every move as he continued to compliment him

"But... it's nowhere enough to beat me!"

As soon as he said that, he disappeared and moved at speeds nigh-imperceptible to Bell Cranel

Bell's eyes widened as he just barely made out the fist rapidly rushing towards his face, narrowly dodging it

But he wasn't left completely unscathed as the attack was powerful enough that it was able to cut his cheek and draw blood

"Kuh!"

Bell clicked his tongue and jumped a bit away to make some distance between them, but Alexander wouldn't allow the boy even a sliver of respite

He sped right toward the boy like a bullet, ready to tackle him into oblivion

Bell however had better plans than that

"FIREBOLT!"

From his outstretched arm roared a beam of fire that shot toward and directly hit the General's face, as he was unready for the boy's short-chant attack

"GAH! WHAT THE HE-"

Before the man could recover from the disorientation of having his face almost burnt, Bell capitalized on the chance and rushed toward the enemy, his arm cocked back and glowing with the power of Argonaut

Bell then unleashed a ferocious five-second Argonaut charged hook, which connected with the General's face

The attack so ferocious it bypassed his opponent's defenses and bruised his cheek and caused him to spit out blood and sputum as he staggered backward a few steps

Bell allowed himself a moment to become surprised that it didn't do more damage than it did, he had underestimated his opponent's durability...

No, that wasn't quite right...

'He's gotten stronger than earlier...!'

Bell's eyes widened in realization so his body sprung to action

He needed to follow up on the opening he just created or he would lose this chance

Readying another punch, he charged up Argonaut again as he rushed the disoriented General

Or so the General made it seem

As soon as Bell got within striking range, Alexander suddenly righted himself and threw a powerful hook at Bell, who was in no way prepared for such a sudden attack

Caught off guard, he instinctually crossed both of his arms to protect his head from the strike

The resulting strike inflicting severe fractures in both his arms as he was sent flying due to the power behind the swing

"BELL CRANEL!"

Alicia screamed out in shock as she witnessed her savior get beaten back after initially having the advantage

Bell's injured figure crashed onto the ground a small distance away, throwing up dust

"Past your bedtime kid, lights out!"

The general tauntingly said as he spat out a bit of blood left in his mouth

Now that that was taken care of, he turned his attention back toward the distressed elf still on her knees

"Now... where were we?"

He tried to seem harmless with a smile, which proved ineffectual as Alicia shook in fear

But the smile immediately became a frown as he intercepted a strike from both Tiona and Tione

"You're not laying a finger on her, buster!"

Tiona grit her teeth as she put as much pressure she could in her attack

"Now you'll be facing off against us!"

Tione smirked as she along with her sister engaged the fearsome foe in combat

...

"Ack!"

Bell winced as the sting of Lefiya's healing magic could be felt, working tirelessly to remedy his fractured arms

"Please just bear with the pain a bit more, Bell..."

A very concerned Lefiya looked at the wincing face of her nascent friend, she could tell that he was in a lot of pain

"Is he going to be fine Lefiya?"

The low voice of Ais Wallenstein asked as she crouched beside the two, helping Bell onto a comfortable sitting position while Lefiya focused on healing him

Lefiya nodded without taking her eyes off of the glow emanating from the palms of her hand right onto Bell's arms

"He'll be fine, the damage he incurred was bad but nothing that can't be healed and I'm almost done completely healing him..."

She kept at it for a few more seconds until she noticed his breathing stabilize as he slowly opened his eyes and saw the figure of Lefiya and Ais in front of him

"L-Lefiya... Miss Ais...!"

Bell groaned in greeting as he uprighted himself, pushing himself off of Ais and into a proper sitting position

"Goodness Bell, you should be more careful! The opponent isn't even down for the count yet you would've been if it weren't for us"

The elf beside him scolded as she got up and dusted her dress, giving the boy a look between a glare and a concerned look

"S-sorry... he caught me off guard for a second there..."

Bell sheepishly smiled as he bowed at the elf

"Thank you for healing me, Lefiya! I owe you my life twice now"

He chuckled as he thought about it. The elf in question looked away from the boy with a generous amount of pink dusting her cheeks as she coughed awkwardly

"W-Well, as long as you're more careful in the future... that's what's important"

Her eyes darted between the confused boy and the ground, cutely averting her eyes every time they make eye contact

"Lefiya's right Bell... you need to be more alert... never let your guard down even after the enemy is beaten, anything can happen"

Ais Wallenstein walked up to and then past the two as she unsheathed her sword, walking toward where Alexander and the Hiryute sisters were currently engaged in combat

"Come now, we'll beat him if we all fight!"

She rushed toward the fray as Bell and a blushing Lefiya followed behind her

...

"ORAAAA!"

With a mighty roar, Tiona swung her Urga right at the General, who blocked it with the sword he 'borrowed' from a nearby Rakian soldier, which in actuality he demanded be lent to him as the poor soldier did and then was shooed away

Both grit their teeth as both refused to give in to the strength of the other, but it was clear that Tiona was the one at a disadvantage

"RGHHHHH!"

Struggling with all of her might, it was nevertheless futile as the General began to overpower her

"Heh, you're pretty good, little lady!"

The General gave compliments where it was due, but this particular one didn't seem to strike the Amazoness off as a compliment, it actually had the opposite effect

"Little... Little?! WHY YOU?!"

The General's confident smirk faltered as he was suddenly starting to get pushed back by the enraged Amazoness, who apparently thought the General was making a comment about her bust size

"Tch!"

The General clicked his tongue as he was now put on the defensive as the pissed-off Tiona wantonly swung at him with even heavier attacks

And unfortunately for him, things did not get better as Tione smirked and joined in the fray, putting the general even more at a disadvantage

"Hmph, seems you need to watch your wording there, pal"

The more voluptuous Hiryute sister smirked amusedly as she also unleashed a barrage of attacks that complemented her berserker sister's furious swings

Their teamwork rivaling that of even the Bringar, they gave the General a run for his money

"RAAAAGHHHHHH!"

Having had enough of being on the defense, the General unleashed a powerful swing that forced the Hiryute sisters to block and abandon their onslaught, allowing him some breathing room

"It seems you two fine ladies want to dance with moi this fine evening!"

Agitated and bloodthirsty, the General shot right toward them in a burst of speed that surprised them

The Hiryute sisters had little time to react as the beast of a man reappeared right in front of them and had his sword raised high up, ready to be brought down

Deciding that it was too risky to strike preemptively, they opted to lunge on opposing sides of the general to evade his blade, which was brought down with such force that it carved out and destroyed a large chunk of land in front of him

"HAHHHH!"

Tione swung one of her Kukri knives right at the man's head, which would have killed him were it not for him deflecting her attack with his sword, leaving her vulnerable to an attack

"Like hell you will!"

Before he could capitalize on his chance though, Tiona unleashed another attack which forced him to shift his attention to her

In the same moment, he deflected her attack with his sword and unleashed a swing each at the two sisters which both connected with their abdomen, forcing the wind out of them and launched them away

"HAHHH!"

Before the man could run toward the sisters and follow up on his attack, his momentum was broken by a flash of gold that appeared in his sight, forcing him to block as a stab of Ais Wallenstein's rapier almost pierced his body

"Oh? Another fair lady wishes to dance with moi?"

The General smirked as he parried her attack and unleashed a kick, which forced her away from his personal space

Somersaulting and landing herself gracefully, Ais kicked herself off of the ground as she renewed her attacks at the General, not intending to give him even time to breathe

"Goodness, how eager you are!"

The General mocked as he continued to evade and deflect her attacks accordingly, which proved to not require too much effort on his part even with her wind enchantment

"RAGHHHH!"

Focused on the golden-haired sword user in front of him, he failed to notice the incoming fist aimed right at his breastplate

Capitalizing on Ais Wallenstein's distraction, Bell went for a thirty second Argonaut charge and unleashed a swing so powerful it managed to completely bypass the General's defense and made him grimace in pain at the sudden and unexpected intrusion during their battle

"GAUGHHHHH!"

Groaning from the pain, he turned his angry gaze upon the belligerent who dare attack him

"Can't sleep, boy?!"

The man's angry expression turned into a malevolent one as he swung his right leg at the boy as he was forced away

"Alright! This time I'll make sure to tell you a bedtime story!"

More furious than before, he rushed both Ais and Bell as they prepared to engage

"ARC'S RAY!"

Thankfully, they did not have to face the berserker General as Lefiya with her quick thinking, unleashed a magical attack right at the opponent fixated on his enemies, failing to notice she was there

"GAHHH!"

Alexander could do little but scream out in pain as he took a powerful magical blast right to the face, which wasn't enough to cause serious damage but still stung

"Great going Lefiya!"

Tiona and Tione nodded at her as they reappeared, capitalizing on the General's momentary incapacitation to make their comeback

"You won't get us that easily!"

Tione put out a powerfully precise slice that connected with the General's outstretched sword, splitting it in half and rendering it unusable

"TAKE THISSS!"

The other half of the Hiryute sisters unleashed a devastating attack with all of her strength behind it. Bringing down her Urga on their opponent

The blow knocked the air out of the man's body as he was brought down onto the ground, forced into a groveling position

"ACK!"

So effective was her attack that general Alexander's vision became blurry as he spat out a mixture of blood and sputum

"If you wanna sleep, do it somewhere else!"

Tione kicked him onto an upright position as the General groaned in pain, staring daggers at her

"You're very well the feistiest woman I've ever met! And I've met many feisty women!"

He smiled a toothy grin, his teeth splattered with blood as both Tione and Tiona's eyes narrowed in disgust

"Would you stop talking and go to sleep already?!"

Tione cocked back her arm, ready to deliver a knock-out blow to end the fight

But the general wouldn't take things lying down, he went for a leg sweep that caught both sisters off guard

Tiona and Tione were literally swept off their feet and were thus left vulnerable

"How about I tucker you both in ins-"

Before he could finish his sentence though, Bell and Ais reappeared right in front of him. Ais quickly swooped in to retrieve the Hiryute sisters and retreat as Bell unleashed a barrage of attacks at the General, who struggled to barely defend himself due to his exhaustion and the accumulation of the damage that he received

Every blow that Bell unleashed toward the man was either blocked, dodged, or deflected. Eventually though, some attacks did get past his defense as he had to tank a hit here and there

"GUHH!"

Taking a hit right to the jaw, the man staggered back as Bell lunged to the side just in time to evade the incoming blast of energy Lefiya unleashed, which was significantly stronger than the one she sent his way earlier

Alexander groaned in pain as he took the blast head on, his armor had been partially melted and his body burnt. He nevertheless remained standing and unconscious

"Hehe... I can feel it, the life force of the Gods coursing through my body and giving me more strength...!"

The rest felt their instincts for danger flare up as the General gave off a pressure much stronger than earlier. He was now stronger than during their fight and it will prove to be even more of a difficult battle

Wiping the blood that trickled from his mouth, his grin became bloodthirsty

"So... who want to d- EUGHHHH!"

Rudely interrupting the man's words though, was a werewolf who blitzed right toward his face with his boot that was enchanted with fire magic

Bete Loga had stolen the victory as his sudden entrance sent Alexander crashing far away. Limp, unconscious, and jaw broken

"Got the damned bastard back!"

The werewolf of the Familia snarled victoriously as the others could only look incredulously at the unexpected turn of events.

"Well, guess that's taken care of..."

Tione chuckled as the rest nodded

"How are we feeling, Alicia?"

Tiona asked the elf, who was being supported by Raul, Anakitty, and Lefiya

"Cheek's still a bit sore and a bit shaken up but I'll be fine..."

Alicia Forestlight gave everybody a weak smile, but deep down she felt useless for being too scared to jump into the fight again

She grit her teeth, which Lefiya noticed

"Don't blame yourself Alicia!"

She spoke softly yet firmly to assert her point as the other elf looked up at her

"If that were me, I'd also be too scared to move a muscle"

She admitted with an embarrassed smile as Alicia's eyes widened at her

"Lefiya..."

The younger elf's attempt at lifting her spirits worked if only barely as she nodded to her

"Well, I suppose we'll both need to work on that"

Lefiya followed up in a lighthearted manner as the Alicia chuckled and nodded

The rest gathered towards them, failing to notice an approaching figure until he got within less than a hundred meters from them

His slow clapping became audible as they all turned to look at the person calmly walking towards them

"I suppose commendations to the forces of Orario are in order due to the spectacular feat of repulsing our enhanced Rakian forces"

The man speaking had blonde hair, average yet imposing height and a robust build. His youthful looks betray his actual age of fifty two years. He was also clad in armor of much higher quality than any of the soldiers or of the two generals donned.

"It is quite unexpected, despite such dramatic bolstering of our army's ranks, it still proved to be insufficient to stand up to the might of the famed city of heroes..."

Stopping his clapping, he continued

"Though I suppose it is due to the fact that my nation's army is incompetent, from its leaders to each and every soldier... all a bunch of incompetent cowards I say!"

His congenial smile never faltered despite the shift in his tone

"That's why I truly believe that if you want something done... you ought to do it yourself..."

Now his congenial smile turned into a bloodthirsty one as he raised his arms into the air

"I, Martinus Rakia, the glorious ruler of the Rakian Nation alongside Lord Ares, shall make Orario itself tremble under my heel!"

The forces of Orario was now up against an even mightier foe, one that is in a completely different caliber.

Sorry that despite all this time, my ability to write compelling fights has't improved, it still feels like a drag to write fights and action, but they're honestly half of what makes the story worth reading, the other part being the story and the shipping (That's why we're all here anyways). Please bear with it though, things will move forward after this arc, there will be more world building, interesting events and such so I'll do my best not to flop the story. I guess that's it for now folks, please leave your thoughts and suggestions in the comments as they help to improve my story. I also personally love reading through and replying to your comments, it makes me happy that there's interaction with my story and that people are reading it. Stay tuned for more! I'll see you in the next chapter!
