66 Intruders. (1/2)

”What is that?!”

A limitless orange haze struck his very sight. Killing Intent aimed right at him and the wall that has stood for thousands of years!

”R-report!!”

Panic and confusion galloped in the man's mind as he staggered to the side of the wall and pushed his hand against a small array. A gentle light lit, and as a small shine entered the sky and flew towards somewhere far away, the man breathed a sigh of relief.

Yet...

”Holy...”

His eyes widened till they seemed to pop out, where that original hazed orange in the horizon had transformed! Its size rivalled mountains, and the shape it took was that of a Cannon.

It was aimed right at him, or more specifically, the entrance of the wall!

”S-set up the defensive... Procedures...”

The man's face was covered in sweat as he attempted to send out a command, but the killing intent coming from that cannon made it excruciating.

*GRRRRRRRRRRR*

A growl shook the sky and the earth as a dim blinding light began to take form inside of the cannon. Its rumble, though closer than whatever that thunderous strike was, resounded just as loudly in his ears.

Despair writhed, and he could only mutter out a sentence...

”May the Heavens bless my family...”

*SPEWWWW*

An all-engulfing beam of orange pierced the air, and in a matter of an instant, it had already arrived! A barrier attempted to form but it was already blitzed out of existence beneath the beam's slicing aura!

An illusionary silhouette of a sword slashing the sky seemed to take form, striking the wall!

*SLASH*

The man disintegrated without being able to even utter a cry of helplessness. With this, the massive gate that stood and separated two worlds got parted by an undying, orange slash...

Arcs of thunder wept across the earth as this happened, where a whole hundred-mile portion of the wall collapsed! Deafening booms of pummelling rock and strange minerals fell from the sky, seemingly announcing the death of the heavens!

”CHARGE!!”

A cry brimming with battle-intent roared from the horizon as a limitless number of black-clothed swordsmen charged! In no time did they reach the pitiful rubble of that once magnificent wall, where excitement bubbled in their hearts.

The commander, flying above them, smiled as killing intent clouded his eyes. But, just as he was about to issue the command to begin the slaughter, a second terrifying rumble reverberated outwards!

*CA---TCHAAAAAA!*

The sound seemed to be above any other noise as it became the only thing that growled in everyone's minds. Their very souls seemed to shiver, causing an abrupt pause in their intense, unrivalled momentum.

The commander's eyes lit with solemn light, where he didn't even put the rumble in his eyes and roared once more!

”Keep going! No matter the obstacle, slice it!!”

The reignition of their battle-intent erupted, and they all shook that feeling out of their system and charged through the broke rubble! Some flew through the air whilst others remained on the ground, but they all had the same burning desire.

The desire to kill!

...

...

...

*CA---TCHAAAAAA!*

”What's happening?! This is the second time!”

*WHOOOSH*

Inside of a room the size of the basketball court numerous third circle mages scampered around with pale faces. A faint rumble shook the room they ran in, seeming to contain an aura of sharpness that made their skin tingle.

”We're being invaded.!!”
