5 Truly Horrifying Warfare (2/2)

Just as the Emperor began pushing back the tides of the silver angels in the sky, an ominous, eerie wind that was hard to describe in words blew in from somewhere behind him.

Auras powerful enough to send a shudder down his spine rushed in. Emperor Alexander temporarily disregarded the enemies to his front and looked behind him. Two ginormous curtains of light had been generated in someplace far behind the mist.

Their sizes didn't lose out to the ones floating up in the air. And from these two curtains of light, two disparate groups of monsters poured out in droves.

On one side, beast-type creatures are being led by a Lion the size of a mountain. And from the other one, knights and soldiers rushed out with countless banners proudly announcing their clans being waved about in their midst.

Kael's eyes grew wider and wider.

”Huh...?”

”These are the armies of demonic clans of Carreau's, Carnivale's, Oeillet's, Rosier's, and even Rosier's. Those crests belonged to the aristocratic clans of demons that were part of the Empire of Chaos but they betrayed us and joined the war against Chaos Demons partnering up with the Demonic beasts and Archangels of Heaven,” Adone explained again.

The beasts and the demons began attacking the Black-armored soldiers together as if they had a prior agreement. The backline of the Black-armored Soldiers was immediately torn to shreds from the combined assault of the two monster armies.

That wasn't the end, however. Their front was occupied by the angels in the sky, still alive and ready to battle. These silver-clad beings changed their strategy and began striking back once more. The soldiers of the sky to the front and armies of beasts in the back surrounded the Black-armored Soldiers in a pincer attack and closed in on them. The flow of the battle had changed once more.

Kael's gaze slowly shifted towards the Emperor, Alexander changed the direction of his mount away from the army in the sky and towards his rear.

His black horse kicked to the ground and rushed forward. The ensuing battle was truly intense.

Corpses formed mountains.

Blood formed oceans.

This conflagration called 'war' created by countless soldiers swallowed up every single life form still standing on this land and continued on its horrific path of destruction. But, even then – this stubbornly persistent battle that didn't seem to end was slowly marching towards its inevitable conclusion. Not too many remain standing on the battlefield now.

The Emperor, Alexander, lost his mount during the battle. He wasn't hindered in the least, however. He cut down two demon knights blocking his path and stood before the demon in command of the armies of aristocratic clans of demons previously under him, breathlessly panting away as it leaned against a bizarre rock formation.

The demon's face was hidden behind its helm, but Emperor Alexander seemed to know its identity as he glared down at his feeble prey.

”We could have ended the war with angels today but, why did you betray me?” Emperor Alexander asked.

The demon weakly faltered its head, but it forced himself to look up. It had already suffered grievous wounds and it seemed unlikely it'd be able to survive its injuries. ”So.... regrettable. We could have ended you for good today, but....”

The voice coming out from beneath the helm sounded precariously close to being cut off.

Emperor Alexander's voice became even icier as he asked again ”I said, why did you betray me?”

The demon's shoulders trembled as it painfully cackled before it raised its head again. And then, it tried to say something.

”I....”

But before the demon could say something he was killed by a silvery-white light that came out of the curtain of light and stabbed him in the back.

Only after the demon's body collapsed lifelessly on the floor was Kael able to see that the silvery light was an angel and it had six pair of silver wings on his back, unlike others who only had a pair of them.

”It's an Archangel” Adone introduced.

Soon, the battle between the twelve wingedArchangel and Emperor Alexander started.

It was easy for even a normal human, like Kael to understand that Emperor Alexander had an upper hand in the fight but just as Alexander was beginning to force the twelve winged Archangel back three more silver lights rushed towards him from his right, left and back.

Before he could see what the result was, he felt the same feeling of crossing an endless tunnel at a speed very close to that of infinity.
