Chapter 274 - 273 - Chaos In The Rustlands II(Part 4)

Point-of-View: Belia Lasmodeus

———————————————————————————

Well, this is off to a great start. Battles are raging all over the Rustlands, there's a lot more blood being spilt than last ti at a much faster rate...which is to be expected, since we have twenty tis the number of Silvland pawns this ti, plus the fact that the Rustlands has also increased its numbers in the sa way, using Corruption Magic...though we still outnumbered them by about five to one.

I an, what's the point if we don't cause more death and destruction than last ti, right? Repetition makes for poor chaos, gotta change things up. Now, then, let's see how things are going...I used my Observation Magic to check up on the main players on both sides...looks like plenty of juicy clashes are underway already.

I'd given Hacte a certain task, looks like he's about to get started with it. Speaking of my sidekicks, I had to withdraw Gela a lot earlier than I'd expected...then again, given her volatile and erratic nature, this was very much on the cards...her unpredictability can keep things interesting, but it looks like sotis, like today, she ends up being a bit anticlimactic.

Hm, what else is going on...oh, looks like one of the summons is dead! Ren, huh...wow, talk about bad luck, running into Azyl is basically a death sentence for most. Interesting, the ownership of his weapon is now with Rion Xester...I can use that to stoke the anger of the other summons and have them build up a genuine hatred for the Rustlands, nice!,

Now, then, let's see where HE is...ah, looks like he was in the castle, he's leaving from there and flying away...good, now's my chance to carry out my part of this plan. I won't be doing much fighting this ti around, no, I'm going to be sowing so seeds of chaos in the Rustlands for future benefit...

I opened a portal with a smirk and walked through it...erging in the Rustlands' throne room, where their king was, along with a few others and a bunch of Adventurers. Looks of alarm appeared on their faces, as the Adventurers surrounded with their weapons drawn and Elental Magic attacks charged up.

"Aw, how cute...," I laughed, before trailing off and adding with a dark, slight smile, "Did you really think that this pitiful force would be enough to stop ?"

I then ford an ice blade and opened small portals all around , before slashing at the portals...while opening connected portals by the necks of the Adventurers surrounding , slashing all of their throats with a single swing and killing them all.

"Damn it, what do you want!?" Exclaid the king, looking terrified for his own life.

He's not who I'm here for though...ah, there's my target...Erhtaph Ragiu...

I sunk into a portal behind , before reappearing right behind him, he reacted quickly and turned around, before springing back and charging up a fireball, pointing it at .

"Tch, I am not afraid of you!" He snapped defiantly, firing the attack at , which I countered with my Weathering Magic, wiping out his flas before striking him and aging him rapidly...and turning him into dust within a few seconds.

"Well, that's stupid...you definitely should be afraid of . Or, well, should have been...why am I talking to a pile of dust?" I sighed dramatically, before dropping the act and shifting my gaze to the king with a smirk.

"Wh-what do you want!?" Exclaid the king fearfully.

I looked around to see who else was still left...a few advisors and...Agatha Silvland, the main fuel in the fire of hatred that was motivating the Silvland troops. I'll leave her alone, she needs to stay alive for a while yet, since she's the main driving force behind the fury and motivation of the Silvland pawns.

"Oh, I just thought that I ought to give you a fair warning...our main target is Kuro, if the Rustlands continues to back him, we'll keep attacking again and again, got it? We'll leave you alone if you exile him though," I remarked with a smirk.

"Y-yes, I have actually been considering that for a while now, I will exile him!" He replied without hesitation, "S-so, can you cease this attack now?"

What a fool...

"Hm...sure, in a bit, it'll take a while to withdraw all my troops. Let's see...at most, we'll be gone by half an hour or so at the latest, 'kay?" I replied with a smile.

"O-okay, but a-at least...could you at least guarantee my safety?" He asked nervously.

Wow, this turned out to be a lot easier than I thought it'd be...what a spineless, pathetic human...

"Yes, of course! I an, I haven't taken down the barrier that's placed around the castle, so my troops won't be able to enter anyway."

"B-but, then, how are you-...?"

"I don't 'die' in the sa sense that you humans do, this barrier has no effect on whatsoever," I responded with a laugh, before opening a portal behind myself and sinking into it, "Don't forget what I said, or next ti...you'll be the first one to die."

I erged outside the Rustlands and let out a satisfied sigh...yes, this should generate so amazing chaos further down the line, sotis humans can be such fools.

Hm, maybe I'll give myself one fight a few minutes before I withdraw the troops, I think I've earned a treat after that! Now, then...let's have a look at how things are going elsewhere right now...

Tch, I should have killed him when I had the chance...this is really annoying, what a troubleso new enemy to deal with.

"Those attacks of yours are really annoying," I growled, flas swirling around .

"How dare you, my Blessed Obliteration was achieved with help from Lady Belia herself...I, Druj, shall kill you for your insolence," He replied, forming a small orb that was swirling with black and white.

He'd been solely using that attack this whole ti...and it was a real pain to deal with. He then flung the orb at , I sprang away from it, as it struck the ground and rapidly expanded in an instant, leaving a crater in the ground where I'd been standing, in the blink of an eye.

He's just about strong and fast enough to evenly match in my normal state...fine, then, I've had enough of staying on the defensive anyway. Ti to unleash True Anima Mode...

I let out a roar as a shockwave of flas burst out from , black fur sprouting all over my right side while orange fur appeared on my left side, my nose and mouth extending forward into a snout as my third eye opened on my forehead...most of my Demonic powers had fused with my True Anima form, so when I transform, I'm can even keep up with Azyl and Kuro...though I can't quite beat them, admittedly.

And I'm only ranked below Fuo because she's stronger when she absorbs sunlight and maintains it without using it up till the moon appears on a full moon night, but that's only once a month, I'm slightly stronger than her the rest of the ti.

But the specifics don't matter, the point is that I'm now more than strong enough to take this weakling out. As he ford another swirling black and white orb and flung it towards , I raced forward at top speed, evading the orb and leaping towards him while forming a lava arrow in my right hand and driving it towards him, piercing through the middle of his chest before he could react.

I then coated my left hand and arm in flas and extended my claws before swinging it towards him, striking his chest and leaving three deep gashes as I sent him flying back and crashing onto a wall, eliciting a cry of pain from him as he coughed out blood. Ti to end this...I ford a large lava arrow and pointed it towards him.

As I fired the arrow at him, a portal suddenly opened below him and he disappeared through it, my arrow blasting onto the ground as he vanished. Another portal then appeared...and Belia Lasmodeus appeared through it.

"That was close, do you have any idea how incredibly rare soone with both Light and Dark Magic is? I-," She began with a sigh of relief, before I cut her off by rushing forward at my absolute top speed and the instant I closed in, I leapt towards her and slashed at her face with my left hand and arm coated in intense swirling flas, violently tearing and ripping her head off her shoulders before she could react.

As I landed behind her, I swiftly spun around while forming a ball of lava, her head suddenly reappearing as I fired it at her at point-blank range, but a shimring portal appeared between it and her, my attack disappearing through it.

"Woah, you're fast, and you made use my Restoration Magic...but I'll fight you so other ti, I need to go heal Druj now, bye!" She exclaid with a grin, before jumping down into a portal.

She's toying with and mocking ...damn it, she gets away too easily with that portal technique! Tch, how annoying...
