Chapter 153 - 153: Battle In The Sky / Flaming Zombies. (2/2)

Ruby would need to leave many nobles behind to defend the fleets.

Since their parents, most of the older nobles stayed behind to defend the Kingdom, they had even less than before the war started as a few had died.

The total number of young nobles remaining was a little over 50.

Each and every one of them was a special card to play in the battle field, they couldn't be moved around aimlessly.

For they were more gifted than the commoners and had the power to turn the tide.

”Thank you, I shan't disappoint, your highness.” He responded with a smile and a bow

”We've been granted permission.” Said the Duke as he put on a pair of black gloves.

”Took you long enough.” A feminine voice responded.

A yellow and black, around the edges, haired lady stood in his path. Her arms were crossed, and a pair of gauntlets resting on her hands.

She wore reinforced leather armour for not only defence but mobility and glared at him with her piercing fiery red eyes.

”Get the others, we can take three more and sorry I'm late, Marchioness.”

”We have no time to waste, this isn't a simple battle like fighting the humans was.” He continued.

Delta's figure walked alone through the flames.

She was surrounded by the darkness of her flames as she scouted the surroundings.

There were countless burnt corpses, engulfed and being constantly consumed by the flames which rampaged around.

The innocent, the soldiers. Neither were spared.

Delta winced as she saw this.

This all happened while she was away... While she was busy enjoying the festival, these people were dying.

Self-hatred began to bloom in her heart as she continued her walk.

'The number of corpses aren't as much as I thought... Did they manage to escape? Or were they captured?' She questioned as she peeked in through the rooms.

”Grah...” A groan came from behind her.

Startled, Delta unsheathed her sword and turned around only to meet eye to eye with the burning skull of a being charging at her.

She leapt and watched as even more of the flesh of the being was burnt off, despite that it continued to move and lunged at her even.

It's groans filled the air, mid-leap.

It was a zombie, an abnormal mutated one at that.

Being inches away from her shoulder, the zombie bit down after completing it's leap.

*Clunk*

To it's surprise all it ended up biting down on were it's own teeth as Delta's figure disappeared, leaving behind a trail of dark flames.

The flaming zombie stopped, and looked around ignoring the burning of it's own flesh.

There Delta stood, just a few steps behind it.

[Dark Flame Blitz.]

Without looking back, she sheathed her blade and the Zombie's head fell off of it's neck.

She looked around only to be left in surprise as the sound of more groans resounded around her, zombies came rushing through the fire.

There were more zombies on the loose charging right at her.
