The man That was Cole Night did not seem like the kind of person anybody could ss with. Jero was just a simple soldier anyways, an orphan too for that matter, so in the end he didn't have as much stake in this battle as everyone else. Of course then there was General Soron making everyone feel like they were invisible, with their blood pumping to an all ti high.
But it was Cole Night who had the day….or rather the night. As General Soron spoke, Jero was observing every look on the face of Cole Night, the couldn't read it, but he couldn't lie, an individual with such power and grace made him want to rush headfirst into any danger that ca his way. Sierra Corp had made sure to broadcast every aspirants adventure from the very mont the incursion started and they could visit the other universe.
lightsΝοvel Cole had been studied, observed way more than the Raen could or would ever know as his secrets, skills and tactics were analyzed. Of course his stat page was kept secret always, so no one really knows how powerful or dangerous Cole Night really was. As Jero watched him, the Raen floated into the air, red and black lightning dancing off his body as he reached a height of ten ters.
He was right in the middle of the massive plaza on the first district, not too far from the gates that was still thrown own For refugees to make their way into or out of the city. Though mostly they were leaving with many of them camping outside the city proper to wait for the outco of this war. Either ways the gate would still be like that for a while, hopefully there was no enemy in the rear hoping to profit from all this carnage, but given how chaotic Te Boreas has been recently, Jero would not put such a situation past them.
*Boom!*
A powerful shockwave was released from Coles body as it spread out to the surroundings. Jero shook a bit from where he was standing as he felt an intense chill run up and down his spine. He held tightly to the spear in his grasp as he looked around his surroundings.
He wasn't sure he was the first to notice it, but soone brought everyone's attention to the shadows surrounding the plaza. Every shadow whether they be from the buildings or any other structures down to living things were pulled towards Cole. Another shockwave was released along with a wave of energy so thick and viscous Jero almost couldn't breathe.
Then the shadows coalesced into sixteen 50 feet tall, 30 feet wide gates. They rippled with shadows as Cole Night's eyes were completely pitch black, as if the shadows had swallowed everything that he was, everything even the chaos itself was gone and all that was left was the sheer endless epheral darkness that was shadow.
"Move out!"
"Charge!"
"Go!"
"For Te Boreas! For The King! For Our COUNTRY!"
The war cries of the generals reached them all, as they rushed forwards, weapons at the ready at the all consuming gates of darkness that was right in front of them. It was so much worse for Jero who was right at the front. His advancent was required to give morale to the people behind him. But he was not too ashad to say this massive gates of darkness scares him.
But was there anything to be done about it, it was already too late. By this point all that mattered was the fight, and that was all that mattered to Jero. Orphan? Yeah sure, but he also ran his local streets and was a tyrant many people were scared of. He only felt the power he had gained there, on the streets were superficial so he joined the army to get real power and sate his love for battle.
But here he was afraid of a simple teleportation skill. Perhaps it was not the skill itself, but the sheer scope of it that shocked him. A pathway through the shadows to take people instantly from one place to the next, and much more than that it had to he thousands of people at a spot. The individual this scope or rather range of ability belongs to was terrifying, because Jero would never in a million years doubt what he was seeing right now….this was real power.
*Swoooooo!*
There was a sound of rushing wind as they made their way through the shadows. Fear did not let Jero stop moving forward, and the mont he had crossed into the gate, everything had turned black and white for a second, as his eyes caught a glimpse of a wasteland of black and white horrors, and then he was out in another plaza, right behind the backs of an adventurer's guild force, with three Anichs.
Heart still pounding Jero took the first strike, raising the spear in his hand, or rather if you took a closer look your realized it was a javelin he was carrying, very different from the rest of his fellow soldiers. Jero too a stance as he pulled his arm back, the javelins in his hand coming alive in a blaze of runes and flas as he shot it forwards.
*Boom!*
The Javelin left a sonic boom in its wake, which was what alerted the enemies to their arrival, but by then it was a little too late as the Javelin dug into the back of a crane like Anich and then proceeded to explode, the explosion powerful enough to catch the other Anichs in its radius, but enough to bring them down completely.
Jero did not rest on his Laurels as two black blues went past him and the wolves transford to engage the other two Anichs, the third was already down for good, Jero had four stats in the Gold rank. He was second in command to General Soron and above all he has been trained as an Interceptor. An elite secret group of Te Borean military, trained specifically to neutralize and take down Anichs. It was a unit with a lot of casualties, which was why only the absolute crazies and battle hungry yet still talented individuals were taken there and trained.
Either way, just bringing down chs was not the only thing Jero could do. Now that the Anich was down, it was ti to put his talents to so use sowhere else.
