Crazy Pumpkin Head Part 8: Orario Side.

Day Time.

Eastern Outskirt of Orario.

Zeus and Hera Familia Headquarters.

In a vast farmland extending for hundreds of square Km, sat huge twin mansions, these two were the Familia headquarters of Zeus and Hera Familia.

The entire place was surrounded by large-scale barrier magic that could block an attack from a level 10 below.

A beautiful and sweet-looking girl was sitting in the shade watching the people working in the farmland.

This sweet girl has long white hair, green eyes, fair skin, and a slim figure, she wears a blue gothic-style dress. This lovely girl was Materia, Mother to the future Hero Bell Cranel, Wife of Logwin Cranel, sister of the Silence Alfia also known as Monster of Calamitous Talent Alfia and Member of Hera Familia. Meteria and Alfia were nearly identical, the only difference between them was their body shape, hair, and eyes, Meteria's body shape was slim while Alfia's was voluptuous a body for a seductress, Alfia's hair was silver while Meteria's was white, Meteria eyes are green while Alfia was heterochromatic green and blue.

Right beside Meteria was her older sister Alfia, she sat elegantly while reading a book, her beauty was equal to a goddess, and her long wavy silver hair that reached to her waist moved through the gentle breeze, her heterochromatic eyes of blue and green hidden in her closed eyes, fair skin, and a voluptuous figure.

The two siblings enjoying the silence and pleasant breeze when suddenly interrupted.

Alfia suddenly felt a presence appearing a distance from them.

Without Looking Alfia spoke, "Captain how's the meeting?"

The presence in question was The Captain of Hera Familia known as Empress, She recently came back from the meeting using teleportation Magic, and she was now dressed in a white outfit revealing her beauty.

Empress has long straight silver hair that flows down the way to her knees, red eyes as red as blood, naturally red lips, jade-like skin, and a curvy and well-shaped body.

"Good news, We found it," Empress said with a smile.

Meteria shows a bright smile and hugs her aloof sister Alfia.

"Yes finally, hahaha," Meteria shouted while hugging her sister, tears started to fall From her eyes.

Alfia with a tender smile, hugs her sister back.

Zeus Familia Mansion

Training Arena.

Maxim who just returned from the Meeting immediately went to the training arena.

When he arrived, he saw two figures engage in a mock battle.

The two figures were Zald and Bell Cranel.

Zald is an executive of the Zeus Familia, a Famous hero, and a farmer at the moment, Zald has dark brown hair, brown eyes, and scars on his face, at the moment he wears a gray shirt, brown pants, and he is wielding a large wooden greatsword.

Bell Cranel is a member of Zeus Familia but it is only temporary, when he reaches the age of 15, he will leave the Familia and create his path, he is now 14 years old, and he is the Son of Logwin and Meteria,

Bell has white hair and red eyes, he is cute and often compared to a rabbit by her mother and aunt, right now he is clad in a red shirt and black pants, and he is wielding a wooden knife, at the moment he is desperately blocking the attack of his teacher.

"Hey Zald, Prepare we are going to roll out."

Hermes Familia Home

Basement.

Large underground warehouse.

"Lady Asfi are you sure to bring this thing, I think this is unnecessary," A cute female dwarf said, this cute dwarf looked like she was just a 12-year-old kid but in fact that is only her physical appearance, she is 26 years old.

"Yes, I am sure, I felt that we needed this," Asfi.

Behind Asfi and the cute dwarf was a huge cube made of platinum, at the surface of the cube there were countless runes engraved on it. The runes glow with blue light, adding an impression of mystery.

A few hours had passed, and the Hermes, Zeus, and Hera Familia were all gathered in a wide-open field just outside the western side of Orario.

"Mr. Maxim, why are we waiting here, are we not supposed to go now?" Asfi.

"How old are you miss?" Maxim

Asfi frowns after hearing the question but she answers it anyway.

"21," Asfi.

"21 huh, you were not born at that time then, that'd explain a lot," Maxim.

Empress who was just right beside Maxim shook her head.

"We're here because someone or should I say something would pick us up," Empress said.

"What do you mean?" Asfi.

"You'll know later."

A few minutes later.

Darkness Sanddenly falls the entire Orario and its surrounding lands like it is nighttime, many of the Orario citizens panic shouting along the lines, "Monsters are coming," "The world is ending," "The demon lord of darkness was resurrected," and many more.

The situation started to escalate, but before the situation got out of control the veterans and old folks and the gods who knew what was going on intervened calmly stating what they knew and calming down the current generations. Even the guild also intervened.

Guild Headquarters.

Pantheon.

Front door.

Sigh! Eina Tulle one of the Guild employees sighed while gazing at the sky.

Eina Tulle is a beautiful half-elf, with a slim body, shoulder-length brown hair, emerald-colored eyes, and fair skin, she sports the standard guild uniform and she always wears her Silver frame Eyeglasses, which is important in her work that always involves paperwork.

"Wha, wha, what is that Eina, run, we will die," Misha Flott said with a teary and frightened look. This beautiful woman was Eina's friend and colleague.

Misha Flott or Misha for short was a beautiful human with a slim body, fair skin, shoulder-length pink hair, and pink eyes, she wore the standard guild uniform.

"Misha, try to visit the library often so that your resistance to shocking things would amplify a bit." Eina.

"How could a book help us in this situation, I doubt the books there could deal with that iron behemoth, no that floating iron island fortress," Misha.

Eina sighed again and said, "Did you even hear me?"

Misha ignored Eina and ran inside the guild while shouting, "The Iron floating fortress is attacking Run for your life."

When Misha went inside, a beautiful red-haired werewolf girl walked out.

The werewolf girl is Rose Fannett, she is Eina and Misha's friend, she is a cold beauty who only shows little emotion, she is like this because of her painful experiences of being an Adventurer advisor for many years.

Rose Fannett has long red waist-length hair, red eyes, fair skin, furry and red werewolf ears with soft white fur inside, and a red werewolf tail with a white tip, she wore the standard guild uniform.

"What happened?" Rose.

"Misha panicked seeing that," After saying that Eina pointed at the massive construct floating in the sky.

Rose looked upwards and saw it.

"Oh, A war machine from the hunters," Rose.

"Yes, it was Se1-57, a world-destroying Aircraft if I am not mistaken," Eina.

Rose shook her head and said, "That is not the case, I think it is greater than that."

After saying that a certain memory enters her mind, which makes her tremble a bit from fear.

Rose and Eina watched the massive aircraft Se1-57 in silence, while their colleague was frantically trying their best to calm the city down.

Western Field.

"What's that," Asfi said with a shaky voice.

In Asfi's eyes, she saw a wedge-shape massive flying Construct, this wedge-shaped construct was an Aircraft, the aircraft was triangular with no visible fuselage or tail, and the surface appeared smooth and uninterrupted, likely for stealth capabilities or just esthetic purposes. It also lacks traditional elements such as stabilizers, a cockpit canopy, or a visible engine, it has a wingspan of 20 km, a length of 7 km, and a height of 2 km.

"That's the Se1-57, The world-destroying Aircraft of the Hunters," Zald.

Empress shook her head at Zald's words.

"What?" Zald asked in confusion when he saw Empress shaking her head.

"Nothing, I thought that you were a muscle brain," Empress.

"Thank you I guess?" Zald

Empress deadpan.

The massive aircraft Se1-57 deployed a dozen cargo helicopters to pick up Zeus, Hera, and Hermas Familia then departed afterward heading toward the Fortress City Blue Rose.

Night time, at exactly 8:00 pm

Blue Rose City.

Battlefield, West Gate.

The Hermes Familia was assigned here along with hundreds of thousands of knights from different factions and kingdoms, and a small number of hunters to be precise there were only 30 hunters, 2 of them are 1 star hunters and the rest were professional hunters.

——————————————————————

In the organized sea of knights, adventurers, and hunters. Asfi stood in front of her Familia waiting for the war to start.

Her aqua eyes reflected the thousands of knights and adventurers forming a defensive formation, protecting the city gate.

On the opposite side was a vast plain of grass, and 5 km away from them was the edge of the nameless forest that formed a wall of large trees dividing the grass plains and the forest.

Soon countless monsters of horrific origin walk out from the shadows of the trees, revealing themselves to the gentle glow of the night, presenting their grotesque appearance.

A large horde of monsters that represent the horrific aspects of monsters finally emerged from the forest, in the very front of the horde, there was a monster who stood out among the horde, this monster was the Ambist Lord the leader of this horde.

The horde brought fear and despair the moment they appeared, however, it didn't last long.

Thousand upon thousands of Subsonic Missiles carrying tons of explosives fall from the sky like a meteor, turning everything to ashes and rubbles.

In this destructive onslaught of the Sub Missiles, only a few remain, only the powerful monsters had left from the horde of Ambist.

With rage, the horde of Ambist charged Ford towards the Army of Allied forces, while the Army responded in kind.

Night time.

Blue Rose City.

Western Gate Battle Field.

Battles are everywhere, the roar of Ambist and shout of Man resounded, and clangs of claws hitting against metal spread throughout the area.

Asfi leads her Familia valiantly, barking orders and throwing powerful explosive magic items, and when I say explosive magic items, I mean literally.

"Captain, 2 Ambist are trying to flank us!" Falgar.

Falgar Batros has brownish-blond hair and eyes, along with brown-colored tiger ears and tail. He's also a tall man with a very muscular physique, this man was the vice-captain of Hermes Familia.

(Falgar Batros image).

"Gather all troops and form a circle!" Asfi.

"Here," Asfi.

"What is this," Falgar said while looking at the round magic item on his hands.

"My new magic grenade, this is more potent than usual so make sure that you throw it far away," Asfi.

Falgar nodded his head and ran toward the two Ambists in the Flanks.

Asfi flew in the air with her magic boots and then threw hundreds of grenades at the enemy.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The explosion shattered the ground and the Ambist was torn to pieces, the ground shook creating a small-scale earthquake, its potency is almost equivalent to a missile explosion.

In the distance far enough to watch the Hermes Familia battle.

On top of a boulder, a young man dressed in an orange cloak, a pumpkin head, and a huge great sword hanging on his back. This pumpkin head was clad in an orange cloak was none other than John.

He was watching the Hermes Familia while healing all of his self-inflicted injuries on his body, his right arm was gone, and his left hand was bleeding through his exploded veins, the bone in his feet was shuttered to pieces hence he couldn't walk right now, John took out a healing potion in his Storage space and drink it, slowly his injury was visibly healing, now he was waiting to fully heal.

Sigh! "The Endless Gate of Breathing is still painful to use," John remarks while coughing blood.
