Chapter 131: Come, my soldiers... (2/2)
Cinder shook her head. Seemingly having a headache.
Yman on the other hand chuckled. The others stared at the escaping demon with dot faces.
At this time, one [Fireball] made its way to the barrage of [Fireballs]. When it landed on the demon's back.
(BOOM!)
(AAAAAAAAAARRRRGGGGH!!) The demon cried and turned to cinder right away after its loud cry.
Ember had a crying face while hugging his knee and writing something on the ground. His pride was shattered by a Dino mount!
In front of him was Aegor, out of exhaustion, he was currently lying on the ground with his plump stomach facing the sky and heaving deeply. Fortunately, he was able to avoid death. Thanks to Crimson and Miss Cinder's appearance.
(GORRRRRRFF!!)
The Dino arrogantly groaned while raising its head slightly. It seemed to say, ”easy-peasy…” while looking down at Ember.
Dramatic tears fell from Ember's eyes. Even a Dino mount was looking down at him. (Cries!)
”Pufffft!” Cinder giggled.
(Patapatapatapata!)
Tiafel hurried towards Cinder and Crimson. Behind her, Taflas followed closely.
”Miss Cinder, Crimson, thank you for helping!” Tiafel was the first one who said thanks. Then others followed after her.
”No biggie! Good thing we made it on time! If not, perhaps this useless brother of mine was already skewered by the demons!” Cinder replied, and asked, ”What happened to you guys these past two days?”
”Hah~~~!” Tiafel made a long sigh. ”We fought with monsters nonstop until we arrived here. Good thing that you arrived. If not, certainly, we will die,” said Tiafel in relief. Both of them were already exhausted. Especially Ember who made the most contribution in the fight.
”Yes, Tia is right. In any case, how are you Miss Cinder, Crimson? We saw you guys fell into the ocean that time,” Taflas asked. But they noticed the change on her face. Cinder suddenly turned red. She remembered cuddling on top of him this morning.
(SUSPICIOUS!!!) Tiafel and Taflas thought.
”Well, on my part, I passed out for two days and just this morning I woke up in the dark under the two mountains...” Yman said innocently.
”Eh?” They wondered what Crimson meant by it. But they noticed Miss Cinder boiled in heat again. As more fumes came out from her head and her face was already red in a half crying state. 'This guy is so bad!' She thought.
Tiafel and Taflas suspicion from these two's relationship grew stronger.
”Regardless, is that the barrier?” Yman right away changed the topic as he noticed Cinder's embarrassment.
He pointed to the towering shadow ahead.
”We think it is!” Taflas was the one who answered.
Yman narrowed his eyes, this last barrier he could see it was smaller than what he expected.
Without wasting more time, the group continued their advance towards the barrier which was only in their sight.
Just a few minutes had passed when they arrived a few hundred meters away from it. But what they saw stunned them.
”I-Is that a cas—tle?” Cinder muttered a question.
Outside the painting,
”Chuchuchu! Most of our participants had finally reached the last barrier! But—
BUUUUUUUUUT~~~! Everyone, look at the last phase of our elimination round! A towering wall which is heavily guarded by UNDEEEEAAAAAAAAD!!!”
WOOOOOOOOOOOOHHH!
The people yelled in excitement, seeing the towering wall surrounded by thousands of undead, from below to the top.
Not only undead but also demons and different kinds of monsters.
”Chuchuchuchu! This is… the last surprise! The last phase of the elimination round! The CASTLE SEIGE in the APOCALYPSE WOOOOORLD!”
Mr. Faye The Trickster shouted from the top of his lungs. It was followed by loud cheers from the crowd.
Everyone who was watching it from the different cities and kingdoms was wondering if this was the last phase of the elimination round or the last round of the competition.
Who can survive with that many monsters? Did the Empress Elleanna design this competition? Who can survive that?
Everyone thought the same. Especially people from different cities or kingdoms.
However, Empress Elleanna was having leisure time at the moment.
”Aunt, do you think it's alright? Isn't it a bit too extreme?” Beside her, Ella was worried as she asked.
”Fufu, I won't lie that it's a little bit too extreme, but It's fine I guess, it all depends on them,” said the empress.
But her eyes were fixed at the screen where the image of a specific person was being shown.
She wondered if this person was capable.
A pair of beautiful eyes was also staring at the same person in the Human City Zone 7, inside the room of the Academy's Ace.
For some weird reason, whenever she saw that person in black armor, the image of him, the guy she had a crush on, always came to her mind.
Almina bit her lower lip when she noticed another person besides that person on the screen. A beautiful red-haired girl with wolf ears.
In the eyes of Yman and the other participants, the canopy of towering walls reflected on it. Countless undead and monsters were waiting on the ground and top of the wall.
While the others frowned and grimaced at the sight, he on the hand grinned.
”This is exciting…” he muttered. ”Hehe, come, my soldiers,” after saying it, something came out from nowhere. They were all uniformed in black colors, and their bodies were trailing with lines that looked like streams of lava, forming like veins. Their eyes were on fire exuding with power. And Black Miasma was oozing from their bodies.
”WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT!!!?”
All the people who were watching asked in their minds.
