The boss was the strongest in a horde and noticing the sheer number of Abyss that crawled through the streets and everywhere else, they would be commanded. And a slightly capable boss could not maintain control of all those numbers. That glinted at a possibility at least that this one sole humaniod monster could potentially be a C-rank Abyss. As such, letting it go could be detrimental to the counterattack.A repeat of past events, the Knight would disappear like before as if she turned invisible. What was not clear from that point was that she would not let it escape. Up until then, the boss felt like a lesser individual that grasped at straws but now, a feeling of being trapped like a plaything before receiving a fatal strike became its reality. Suddenly, the boss felt a painful sensation as if its limb was being crushed. It was not an attack, but a hold over its left arm. The Knight once more appeared from thin air to the left side.Obviously, her power was unmatched. She used
With the head, the leader of the horde of Abyss, the boss defeated the proceeding underlings it reigned over would scatter in every direction. Abyss gathered into a single formation known as a horde but due to their animalistic traits, they sometimes strayed from said formation to essentially do whatever they desired. And not necessarily to execute their role of being soldiers or guards since Abyss could care less about what occurred to their brethren. If they found prey to fill their stomachs, everything else was a bother.Except for the boss, the remaining monsters were ruled over. With an iron fist and understandable power in hand, the boss acted as a beckon, a sort of antenna that coordinate all movements in the horde and initiated for their formation to consist of the outer layer and mid layer for the purpose of fighting and pillaging enemies and prey, but still leave enough room for it to not be in the firing line. In that sense of train of thought, it was a strategist feigni
Miraculously, countless Knights grasped the proceeding space and fervently emerged from thin air above the female Knight. Certainly those could be reinforcements from other Legions that could have finally reached the battlefield to offer some much needed support.They came after the climax already reached peak and now just helped in cleaning up the scraps left. Scraps of the defeated horde when compared to the initial force when the first 5 Legions entered the fray still posed a threat if they could run hurriedly and unchecked. And also, the citizens who lived there obviously wanted to return to their former homes and lives.Following that, the female Knight’s lips opened.“Clean it up.”Immediately, all gathering forces diverged into different directions as if they cut through the air like bullets. At least one thing in common that they did was head over to the Abyss soldiers.The Knight’s eyes peered into the distance.{Master of the Legion of Shadow, S-rank: Isui Setra.}***After
The vanguard of the Legion of Shadow proceeded forward exactly as other smaller Legions would, with only a difference of the indefinite actions that were superior in terms of coordination and the individual combat capabilities of their Knights. Additionally, the swiftness of their actions caused an apparent decline of the Abyss’ numbers within moments after they trailed through. After all, one of the strong Legions would have obviously encountered and fought Abyss of a difficult rank exactly like this one or maybe a horde much more fierce. “…” To that area, at the outskirts, he gazed far and wide while gliding through the air. Accompanying him from behind being other Knights in the same squadron, unlike the rest, they showed particular interest in locating Abyss and identifying their characteristics but would not intercept them. Catching an appearance of what they were tasked with, a large Abyss reeled in the distance. Its size and height, that being tall enough for surrounding
The eerie perception over my very flesh, prompted motion of the scorching flames dyed of a myriad of shades that wrapped about my form as armor, and the semblance of a view of the Earth appeared beneath my very feet as I trailed off.Crimson light sat upon my eyes, smoldering with a fixed glare that pierced through the blackened void stretching infinitely, and the lambency of innumerable jewels adorned my gaze. By a piercing sensation derived from my chest gesturing for immediate attention, my back was enshrouded of the army of beings veiled by raging flames, incalculable and innumerable in their elite forces. And as I gazed upon the openness of my palms, those unseen memories trickled off…***Recalling a maidenly voice, Inoyva found a small backpack, small as his self be riddled with various items. Preferably light snacks. With the body of a 10-year-old, he witnessed the bus’ doors open when detecting a corresponding command from the driver.“Have a lovely day!” As the world would
By those spilling voices drawn from behind, Inoyva detected a sudden movement of pig. Strangely enough, through a malfunction perhaps caused by the slight tremor, the doors opened a wide gap. “And where are you going?”Also, detecting unusual movement from the one pupil, the driver of the bus asked. Clear as day was his tone deeper in order to halt him from going away further.Inoyva followed in pursuit. He was in an estranged position towards the only person he could possibly hope of conversing with. “Pig…” However as his unyielding gaze and voice reached, he took notice of the drastic expression displaying nervousness. Beads of sweat raced crazily down. This was a probably a panic attack, Inoyva thought to his self. Still, what kind of advice would be able to impart? “Pig…” SMASH! SPLAT!It was in that moment, before the echo of Inoyva’s voice reached a slightly unnerved peer, there was a sickening sound of “something” smashing “something.” “Hahh…”Having obliterated the so-cal
The darkness of night enshrouded all things in sight and a silent cry disappeared with a whimper.A freedom formerly held was rather stagnant. With blood dripping from his head thus drenching his hair, a young boy caught sight of a defying event while contemplating his fate. His gaze turned cold and unmoving. The subject of his gaze, that being the horrid monster standing with its head held up high. In its monstrous hand, it clenched tightly to the blood ridden body of a woman. Thereafter, it took out its thick tongue, a gaping hole opened from the mouth and it enveloped the woman’s body. The boy caught entrapped, saw to it that the woman passed through and was entirely enveloped by it, she was devoured. When lowering its jaw, something snapped. Blatant as it were, the deceased woman was decapitated even while void of life. And her head rolled over the barren land, devastated. “…” Panting with a rather calmed tone, the wounded boy made looked towards anywhere, but there. He slowl
Scorched and decapitated, the soldiers’ existence was steadily being erased but not be surprised, that was their duty. The prolific “soldiers” of a horde were “born” as the lowest in the hierarchy. Being the lowest meant that they also were the weakest of the bunch. Still, Isui never wavered as the rate of movement decreased, finally laying waste to all of them. *** Blood ran down that ground as a gaze caught fragmenting bodies. Not a single emotion of remorse was left, leaving an impression to the Knight. Those nerves of steels never allowed for a weakened state of vulnerability towards the sight of a massacre. However the main objective still remained, “find and dispose of the horde’s head, the boss.” Isui promptly swung both swords, cutting through air to remove pungent blood off the blades. The blades’ durability would not be ruined by filth. ’Thirty one. Weren’t there thirty two of them?’ In that moment, slight movement was noticed when Isui made eye contact with another Aby
