5 Chapter 4 "An enemy from the south"

In southern continent of Eannys

The army of demons invaded the woods l silence, his mission , get the offshoot of the guard in the depths of the

~! Advance! our goal is near ~

The voices resounded at the orders, the march of the soldiers was only stopped by the fierce defense of the guardian , with each step he took hundreds of soldiers flew out.

Several footsteps were heard in the natural fortress of the forest, the maidens had fear in their eyes, concerned for the health of their mistress.

~ Queen mother, your health is very weak, please don't fight ~

The guardian was one of the oldest beings in the forest, second only to his mother , who protected a small offspring along with hundreds of maidens.

~ Don't worry about me , I wo n't die , at least until I can be a good successor ~

Energy began to envelop her body as a golden armor appeared over her , the passage of time seemed to recede when a mature woman with green almond-shaped eyes appeared.

He touched his sword as he seemed to remember the past, his slender figure seemed to tremble when he sensed danger, swinging his short sword into the air.

~ Ahhhhh! ~

A figure with a missing arm was wailing on the ground

~ You are too bold to think that you could steal my grandson by yourself ~

The killer laughed and looked at the woman in front of him

~ And you are too innocent to believe that I came alone ~

At least five assassins emerged from the shadows starting the battle.

~ Protect my grandson, these intruders should only be a distraction ~

The assassin's head fell to the ground as the Queen lunged at the intruders.

~ Queen mother, an enemy battalion appeared west of the fortress ~

The guards who came were frightened to see the Queen with her maidens , she withdrew his sword from the body of one of the murderers as he wiped blood on it , there had been a long time since arriving and everything s died under his hand.

~ Protect my grandson without mistakes, I will go to battle ~

Putting on his cape, he put his sword away as he prepared to leave the room.

The guards followed his orders and surrounded the offspring, they had neglected their work, they were worried about the punishment that the Queen was going to give them. but she did not turn.

To the west of the site, several explosions echoed in the distance and a group entered the city. The main group were mounted in a coppery red wolves led by a gentleman covered by a dark armor advanced towards the fort.

~ It seems that the assassins failed, it will be that today I will have my revenge with her ~

~ Stop ~

A shrill scream rang out, accompanied by a loud explosion a golden figure appeared in front of them.

~ C omo you dare to break into my kingdom, it seems that the years has made them forget the fear ~

~ Don't be mad Leticia, you will ruin your beautiful face ~

~ Viktor, what are you doing with them, how dare you betray me, no , it ca n't be true ~

Leticia felt her heart break when she saw that a lover from her youth wanted to take the life of her grandson, her confused mind almost made her drop her sword, but her strong will allowed her to calm down. Raising his sword he looked at the man in front of him , he wanted to see his face, but the armor blocked his vision.

~ No one will pass by here, including your Viktor ~

~ You haven't changed anything in these years, you remember the past, you could never beat me when we practiced, which makes you think that today will be different ~

He could only seek to anger the woman he once loved, his situation was too troublesome to explain and he only raised his spear to block the incoming attack.

At the front of the battle, the guardian's armor was badly shattered, in front of him an orc was bleeding from his right eye, a large scar running all over his face.

~ It is ridiculous to think how much you have grown, that I caused you to attack my kingdom, I never did wrong against you ~

The orc did not answer his words and attacked the guardian , each impact of their bodies leaving large wounds on their armor, meanwhile the group in the city began to burn everything in their path.

Leticia wanted to kill them, but every time he moved he was blocked by Viktor, biting the edge she decided not to hold back anymore .

~ I don't know what caused your betrayal, but if I can't defend my kingdom without you dying, so be it ~

Engulfing her sword with energy, the image of a phoenix appeared above her, every time she swung her sword, holy flames appeared where she impacted.

On the ground, a dark armor was lying on the ground, the woman next to him was sad for him , but thinking between the life of his grandson and a former lover, he could only choose his grandson. Approaching toward him , he reached out to take his helmet, but the armor lifted her arm and pulled her hand.

~ Leave me here, go save your kingdom ~

~ Viktor, because you can't tell me the truth, because you don't want me to see under your helmet ~

~ I can't say, but before I go, listen to my request. Never go south, something serious is brewing there ~

With a few last words the armor began to collapse. For Leticia there was no time to lose, she rose in the sky and helped her people to eliminate the rioters, several magicians used water magic to put out the fire, but it had spread too much, they could only save a few places.

~ Queen mother, we have bad news ~

A soldier covered in wounds ran to his queen, with trembling arms handed her a sealed letter.

~ This is my son's seal, what really happened ~

When she opened the envelope, a look of astonishment passed through her eyes, with a gesture she burned the message and she prepared to leave for the battle front, but the soldier stopped her.

~ Queen please don't go, the king already… ~

~ Don't say it, I won't believe it until I see it with my eyes ~

...

On the front lines, the orc held one of his arms as he looked at the man in front of him . Although he was able to hold the fight for a while, the difference in strength was what caused his loss.

~ It seems like I can never win you, but that doesn't matter anymore, I fulfilled my mission

The guardian tried to understand the words of his opponent, but could not find anything strange during their entire fight.

~! Boom -Bah-Bah-Boom-Bah-Bah-Boom-Bah-Bah-Boom ! ~

The sounds of drums were heard all over the place, when looking at the laughter of the orc the guardian could only think the worst, jumping on a small mountain he looked in the direction of the sound.

Behind the mountain, the entire plain was covered by warriors who marched to the beat of the drums, various machines advanced alongside them and some small dragons flew over them.

~ It was all a hoax, they don't just want my offspring, they want to destroy the whole forest ~

With a determined look he approached one of the messengers, handed him a letter instructing him to pass it to his mother before turning and leading the battle to defend the forest.

The young man took the letter and quickly began to run in the direction of the city, he had already gone far enough when he felt his skin crawl.

~! BOOM! ~

A giant mass of fire exploded covering the entire battlefield, the shock wave generated spread for several kilometers, knocking the young man down and causing serious injuries. His mind was agitated, when he could look up he could only see a sea of fire in front of him , fear almost dominated his mind when he saw the letter in his hands, taking what little courage he had he began to run to deliver his message ...

~ Why are you so agitated? ~

A small voice was heard in the sky, next to her a young woman was flying at full speed to get to where her heart indicated, the voice of the light trail wanted to scold her friend for not answering her question, but something else attracted your attention.

~ Mmm, we must be near the forest of silence, what do we do so far from the human realm ~

~ Little Leticia must be here, she was your apprentice , why don't we greet her? ~

Eleine was sad, now that she almost had all the gems, Aurora was able to keep her shape for a few minutes, being able to talk to her, she only lacked the energy of one more gem to be able to talk forever, but she did not know its location. I was thinking of answering when Aurora spoke

~ This is bad, I see fire burning the city of Leticia, I also feel that its energy is decreasing ~

The young woman stopped in midair, she wanted to continue her journey, but she could not let her apprentice die, as a ray of light advanced in the direction of the city, only to find a great mass of warriors in the direction of the city.

~ What will we do, if those thugs come to town they will all die ~

Aurora felt powerless for not being able to do anything, she hoped to see what Eleine would do, the young woman stared at a point on the ground, descending she approached a charred body.

~ It seems that he is still alive, Aurora , do you think you can heal him? ~

~ Yes I can, but that will take more time ~

~ I think he is Leticia's son, as long as we find the last gem we can be together, but he doesn't have that time ~

The source of light smiled inside her and began to cast a spell, the burned skin of the body began to peel off, a new one appearing under it.

~ That should be enough, as long as they take care of him he can recover, but I don't think he can be a warrior anymore ~

~ That doesn't matter, I'll take care of the rest ~

Eleine raised her rapier and focused her energy on her body, as she rose into the air she looked around her, thousands of brave warriors had been slaughtered. She looked in the direction of the attacking army and apologized.

~ Only this I can do for now ~

Wielding his rapier he released the energy from him and a ray of light covered the entire sky, the fire spread throughout the ground and an abyss of more than a hundred kilometers long separated the forest from the silence of the kingdoms in the south. The damage to the soldiers was uncountable , in just one second more than a third of their army had disappeared, they would have lost everything if not for the barrier that the magicians raised in exchange for their lives.

~ Too bad that the fire spirit appeared in this place, the master will be disappointed with our result ~

The commander ordered the withdrawal of his army , he did not want to waste the lives of his soldiers when facing an elemental spirit.

~ Wait, I can ask the teacher for help, he is not afraid of that unclean spirit ~

A small man, dressed as a jester , laughed, covering his mouth with one of his sleeves.

~ I think it's a good time to try one of my master's inventions, if we win tonight they will have fun with the body of an elemental spirit, they have told me that she is a world-class beauty ~

The commander was tempted, if the jester failed he would flee without hesitation, but if not he would spend the night with a beauty of only one chance in life.

Feeling the lust in the commander's eyes, the jester laughed at how stupid they were, my puppet will not be able to beat the spirit, but it will be a good way to test his strength.

~ Ennis - sora… ~

The commander watched as the jester began to chant a spell, a doll next to him moved as he listened to the words.

~… Kove-nibere ~

Pump pump… pump pump …

Several beats sounded from the puppet , like a vacuum cleaner began to absorb the corpses all around, the commander wanted to ask what was happening, but I knew that this buffoon to what he wanted, the teacher had in high esteem.

The puppet rose into the air, his body began to enlarge due to the volume of the corpses he ingested, when he was satisfied in their sockets, a pair of yellow feline eyes appeared.

~ Have fun with her my little one, there is your food ~

RRRRRROOOOOAAAAAAARRRRRRRR !!!!!!!!

The puppet roared like a furious beast flying towards Eleine, saliva staining his clothes from his mouth, along with his deformed body he had a deranged appearance.

Eleine looked a little curious at the attacker, she could feel a great energy coming from him , but there was no trace of life, chanting a spell of a decade fire sword over the attacker's body.

Feeling the temperature rise, the puppet looked in the direction of the fire sword, feeling that he would soon be close to him greed appeared in his eyes, after licking his lips he spread his arms and swallowed his expectant saliva .

Eleine felt that it was very strange for the monster to act in front of her, she did not want to avoid the attack by seeming to feel safe, but when the sword was about to touch the puppet's body something unthinkable happened.

Not being able to hold the puppet's belly any longer, it spread like a great bell, a crack appeared in the center dividing into a giant mouth that swallowed the sword, the creature began to dance alone without stopping looking at Eleine, he believed that she would give him more things to eat.
