War
"That's overkill."
"Let me report to the Guild, you arrest them. After all—I've lost my fighting spirit."
Captain Rough stood up, he was carrying Erisa's corpse, immediately ran towards the surface.
The Abyss was a terrible place, in a few once in a while, this would happen. But it will usually be characterized by some very striking characteristics. As the number of monsters outside was increasing, even terrible anomalies appeared-wait.
'Anomalies, monster upgrades and changes in the increasingly aggressive nature of the monsters. We should have realized this.' Elysia came to her senses-they had all been negligent.
The war that happened 20 years ago is coming back. This is not the second time, but hundreds of times. But this was the first time they ignored the sign.
"Be prepared, perhaps the Guild Master already knows what steps to take. We will fight here, at least until the forces of the Kingdom and the Conquerors arrive."
"Everything feels like—a deliberate coincidence." Cleon didn't care about Hestia's words just now.
Before, everything was fine, but when Cleon and Hestia arrived, the monster attacks only intensified. Like intentional. But, this is not a hereditary fairy tale that problems always happen to the main character,
'Yes, I am not the main character in a fairy tale.' Cleon got ready, he ran towards the crowd of monsters that gave off heat. Terrible.
Just a terrible word they can say. This was the first time Cleon had faced so many monsters, he didn't know how many there were. The monsters kept coming from the connecting holes of the Abyss floor. Or it can be called a black corridor.
The pounding of the feet of the numerous monsters made the ground shake a little. But it did not make the three conquerors whose lives were threatened lose their balance.
"Bloodfallen."
Elysia opened her attack, she slashed 3 Monsters vertically, from bottom to top. Blood splashed everywhere, wetting their bodies all over. But the blood that was still in the Air did not just fall off.
When Elysia says "Activate." All the droplets of blood that were in the air instantly turned into solid cylinders. It rained down on the monsters-punching holes in the bodies of those in the front row.
'It doesn't mean it's over.' That's what Cleon believes. The monsters couldn't have been wiped out by that attack.
And sure enough.
. "We must retreat." Suggested Hestia. But her two comrades did not want to compromise, they still lunged. In fact, Cleon had a scratch wound on his hand. But still, he advanced.
Never mind.
"Knight Technique: Exterminator." Cleon jumped up, his foot was so strong that the hard ground he stepped on was crushed. Once in the air Cleon activated his skill, his Mithril sword lit up-glowing brightly at night like the light of a torch. It slashed from the air, slashing towards one of the many monsters that came-emerging from the darkness.
Waves of energy shot out from his sword, slashing the monster's body until it split. Blood boils because of its heat energy.
"Cleon, don't waste your energy here." Scolds Elysia
"understood, Hestia, step back." The only person who is most wasteful in the use of Mana is neither Cleon nor Elysia. Yet the only Witch of the Saaxira race, Hestia.
She has powerful magic, but powerful magic has a high fee to be able to use it so it is not good if it is used constantly.
Hestia's strength will be the key for now because it could be that they are cornered, which is when Hestia will save them.
The shocks are getting stronger. From within the darkness, a giant foot came out, one by one. A one-eyed creature with a large mace in his hand appeared.
The body is green and similar to a round-bodied human. Its lower canines stick out upwards. The only eye he had was glowing red.
"3rd floor Monster, Orc."
Elysia doesn't seem to be afraid of that creature anymore. Se was more afraid of the monsters that Cleon had told her about earlier.
"GHHAAAGHH!!!" His loud voice made the ground tremble. That's when the monsters run around, more and more brutal.
"He—he's the leader, Elysia, Hestia. Focus the attack on him, I'll hold them off!" Cleon ran, he drew another sword. Spinning like a windmill that chopping up the bodies of the monsters.
"Understood!"
Hestia flew higher and higher, casting magic to help Elysia to finish off the Orcs who seemed to be leading the attack of the monsters.
Somewhere else.
Captain Rough still hasn't arrived. But he had already crossed paths with one of the guards, he had reported it.
"We will prepare food for you. As for the report, it was delivered to the Guild by one of us on a horse. It won't take long." He calmed down Rough who seemed depressed. "They will die.. please.. they.. will die.." His gaze is getting worse. He's not like Captain Rough that Cleon saw earlier. His mentality has been marred by harsh reality.
Where the people who were his friends and subordinates died horribly-before his eyes.
"If that person is Elysia, then your guess would be wrong. Conqueror respected him very much. He was a role model for all of us, there was no way he could be defeated by a horde of monsters." The armored soldier patted Captain Rough on the shoulder.
"No, there is a monster that came from the 6th floor, it was he who killed this girl. I'm sure.. Elysia.. Cleon, Hestia too--!"
"Stop It, Rough! Trust everything. They've arrived."
The cavalry is visible from behind. They carry torches as lighting.
"We will kill the monsters before they kill us. Get up! First secure your subordinate who has calmed down. After that, fight! For them!" He brought Captain Rough to his senses. His actions are one example of stupidity that is completely unacceptable to common sense. He gave up just because of this.
"My Knights! Draw your swords! Don't be daunted by the monsters that attack, just like 20 years ago."
The man in black armor and red robes brandished his sword as high as possible on his horse. His sword reflected the light of hundreds of torches.
"Soldier, get on the prepared horse in the back row. You will join the battle."
He is the commander who was once Cleon's superior.
"Yes, commander!"
he lifted his sword up in front of his face, and sheathed it. That's how they show respect to their boss. He rode the horse in the back row.
"I left this horse for you." Tell him when the team is ready. One of the horses behind him. That's a spare horse in case something bad happens. "Captain, Cleon was my friend when I was in the Royal Army. We trust him."
The warrior instantly spurred the horse he was riding at high speed, towards the Abyss. The troops were already trembling, they hadn't fought with monsters for a long time—no, even many of them were new troops so this was the first time they had fought against that many monsters!
