30 Chapter 30: The war part 2 (1/2)

The entire battle paused as everyone's eyes focused on the battle between Caesar, Richard, and Anna. the black mist escaping from Caesar's body was very ominous and eye-catching Causing everyone to hold their breaths.

”What the hell is this evil feeling” Richard whispered under his breath and looked at Caesar with fear in his eyes.

Caesar put his left foot forward and raised his spear above his right shoulder, he pulled his arm back and threw with all of his might.

*WHISH*

The spear pierced through the air and aimed straight at Richard.

”RICHARD, WATCH OUT!” Anna yelled anxiously

Hearing Anna's shout Richard finally broke out of his stupor and evaded to the left… but the spear traveled to fast, dread flashed in Richard's eyes.

*puch*

The spear directly pierced Richard's shoulder and exited out the back, blood started to continuously flow out of his shoulder without an end in sight.

”R-RICHARD, ARE YOU OKAY?” Anna cried out in shock.

”You have no time to worry about others little girl” A cold voice suddenly rang behind her, she tried turning her head in shock but it was too late.

All Anna could see was a pale white hand with beautiful long nails inches away from her face… just as the black mist was about to touch her a white light blocked Caesar's hand.

”The church told me to only use this power in dire circumstances, I suppose this is dire right? Haha” Richard said in a cheerful voice from behind Anna.

A white light circled around his hand, it was the exact opposite of Caesar's ominous presence, the white light made everyone feel calm and peaceful.

Richard placed his hand that was illuminated by the light on his shoulder and the wound started to visibly close.

”H-Holy affinity!” Anna and a few other soldiers around them called out in shock

Caesar's eyes squinted dangerously as he rushed towards Richard, this time he controlled the black mist to condense into a single spear… He stabbed the spear in the direction of Richards' heart.

Richard also enveloped his sword in the white light and stabbed out with his sword.

*CLASH*

The two weapons clashed together causing a huge amount of wind and tremors within a large vicinity.

The stalemate only lasted for a few seconds before the darkness around Caesar's spear started to eat away the light.

”Even light cannot escape the darkness,” Caesar said lightly as he pushed forward.

”H-HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE, I HAVE THE STRONGEST AFFINITY?” Richard howled out in disbelief.

Anna quickly raised her hands to send out wind blasts to stop Caesar but to no avail, they didn't even make him move an inch.

*CRACK*

The sword in Richards' hand started to crack and giant fissures appeared in the middle of it, ”no..no..no..NO, THIS CAN'T BE” Richard's voice contained fear.

*PUCH*

The black spear broke through the sword and directly punctured through Richards abdomen… Richards eyes nearly popped out of his skull in shock.

Richard's body which was once full of vitality slowly withered at a visible rate, his once colorful hair soon turned white and his tanned skin turned pale… wrinkles started appearing on his face.

In seconds his youthful body turned into that of an old man, but the withering didn't stop. His old body soon turned into just bones and collapsed.

*crack*

The bones fell to the ground and cracked, the entire battlefield was enveloped with silence and fear.

”R-Richard?” Anna called out with sorrow

Caesar stepped away from the corpse and looked at Anna ”you should have never attacked my kingdom if you didn't have the resolve to lose everything” he said quietly

”Y-YOU MONSTER, HOW DARE YOU KILL RICHARD. YOU TOOK MY FATHER, MY BROTHER AND NOW MY LOVER?” tears started falling out of her eyes.

Caesar watched this scene quietly… ”you have killed many of my men, they had families and lovers just as you did. When you marched here with your 10000 elves did you ever think about how many families you were going to destroy just because you wanted revenge for yours?”

Caesar slowly stepped towards the desolate girl ”you are not evil little girl, If I had met you in a different situation perhaps we could have been friends… however, because you are my enemy I will show you no mercy”

With Caesar's words the rest of the battlefield continued, the knight's pushed forward and the enemy soldiers constantly rushed at the knights.

*step*

”All of the sadness, fear, and anger… Let it out” Caesar said quietly as he slowly walked towards Anna.

Nearby elves immediately rushed to the front of Anna Shielding her, they looked at Caesar warily.
