222 Golden Valkyrie (1/2)
---
While Paul, Mark, Ellen, Anne and Luna were establishing their reputations in the battlefield. Raven went towards the Western Walls with a carefree expression on his face.
All the way from his location, he was able to feel the residual fluctuations of Southern Battlefield. A smile appeared in his face as he recalled their brief reunion earlier.
”They were all holding their Growth Weapons.” He murmured, ”Nine-Layered Black Tortoise Shield and Soul Piercing Snake Spear for Paul. Twin Lightning Serpent Swords for Mark. Vermillion Bird Sword for Ellen. Annarosa's Bow manifested for Anne and my girl had Golden Light Spear.”
”They must showing off right now.” Raven chuckled to himself, ”I would've liked to show-off with them, but I gotta take care of some worms trying to take advantage of the chaos.”
”I have to finish this quick. The earlier we finish this, the sooner I can play with my sisters.” Raven felt giddy as he increased his speed, turning him into a flickering shadow as he made his way out of the Western Walls.
It didn't take him long before he was able to step outside of the walls. He received no hindrances as he was deliberately hiding himself as he made his way out. He activated his Crystal Sky Eyes as he observed the possible openings for an ambush.
Raven then saw the some shady individuals spying from the dense shrubs not too far away from the walls. He then promptly disappeared from his location and reappeared in front of the unsuspecting spy.
Raven's sudden emergence scared the living daylights out of the spy, the guy tried killing him by slitting his neck using a dagger. Unfortunately, his attack hit nothing but an afterimage. The spy then felt something move behind him and tried to turn around but as soon as he did, his body curved upwards as he received a heavy punch on the stomach from Raven. The spy felt his head being grabbed by what felt like a metal clamp. He then screamed as he felt a deep seated pain coming from the depths of his soul.
The spy struggled like fish out of the water, but the grip was to strong and all of his flailing around was only hurting himself. After a few seconds, the spy could been seen dead in Raven's grip with white foam coming out from the corners of his lips.
Raven unceremoniously threw the corpse on the side as he patted his hands. His head then turned sharply towards the Southern Battlefield as he felt a strong and repulsive aura. He thought for a bit and whispered…
”So, the moving rocks finally arrived huh?” Raven kept staring at the south, debating to himself for a bit. After a moment of hesitation, he scratched his head and said: ”Eh, I'm sure they could handle it. I can't go there, the guards here won't be able to handle these worms so I have to do it.”
”I'll just finish this quickly and go.” After saying that, Raven disappeared from his spot once again.

”Crap! What's that?”
One soldier exclaimed as he pointed out towards the very back of the Beast Horde. His voice was loud enough to alarm the people around him.
Without any exceptions, everyone present on the battlefield felt the ground beneath them quaking fiercely. All of them turned their heads towards the beast horde and some couldn't help but gasp loudly as they saw the incoming monstrosities.
If these things sit down and hug their legs, they could surely pass as a mountain by how big they are. Even the soldier that had the worst eyesight could easily see them from Southern Walls.
The Golden Knights who were in the fore front of the battlefield had their countenances change as they saw the five hulking monstrosities making their way towards them.
”Damn!” Old Lee spat harshly, ”How did those things manage to get here! Weren't they supposed to be in the very depths of the Red Zone?”
”Why the hell would they join this beast horde!? It doesn't make sense!” Leona roared.
”Little Stone Titans.” Morel harshly spat, ”This is going to be a hard battle.”
The Little Stone Titans. According to legends, they are literally stone mountains that experienced Demonification and became cognizant creatures.
