33 Chapter 33 : Undying Pledge(2)

The supreme ruler who fought against the demon had already vanished before they could catch a glimpse of him.

A while back, news of havoc across some areas were reaching the authorities ears which made them remember of their buried history.

Missions were issued on their boards for students to complete and gain points. Freya had doubted back then on the demon lord's awakening based on the havocs.

And, that day, when the intruder tried to trespass her kingdom, it was clear to her that the demons have stepped out from their long silence and was waging war through their destruction.

Freya, continued as she said, "You can't be the lord. The lord won't be stupid enough to attack kingdoms as soon as he awakens."

Lyndel narrowed her eyes at the masked girl as she chuckled darkly, "How daring of you, a puny little human address our king! I, Lyndel, will teach you a lesson on behalf of the lord."

Jinha could feel the tension in the air increase as he waved his hand behind him, signalling the archers.

Zeno on seeing the signal softly ordered the archers to take their positions.

"May I ask, why the sudden attack on us?"

Lyndel smirked as she said, " Because I'm bored."

Her answer made everyone's shade darker as they listened to her mocking, "We, mighty beings, had to seclude ourselves for decades before we could finally wage war against you weak humans. We wanted to warm up before the main event."

Adam followed her as he said, "You people should be lucky to be treated as stepping stones for our victory."

Right after he said that he tossed the head towards them, spraying the field red.

Jinha screamed at him furiously and leapt forward to take their captain's head safely.

The head landed squarely in between the two groups, creating a red pool around it.

Hak screamed in agony and turned his gaze savagely at Adam who was laughing out loud.

Liz watched with tears flowing out uncontrollably as their captain's head was crushed into smithereens by the death troop launched against them.

A loud crunch was heard amidst the snarls emitted from the troop.

Jinha who was nearer to the troop, fell on his knees as he stretched his hands out helplessly. His cavernous eyes stared at the spot while he clenched his fists tightly.

He let out a blood-curdling scream, "AAAARGHHHHH !!!!!" which sent shivers down everyone's spines.

He stood up instantly and wiped out the first row of the death troop with his spear making a clean space before him.

His eyes flashed in pain, anger, hurt as he mercilessly slashed against the troop who seem to not crumble down despite the heavy wounds laid upon them.

Zeno screamed as he shouted at his archers to shoot down the demons, "DRAW YOUR BOWS AND ATTACK."

The first row archers aimed at them while the second-row archers drew their arrows simultaneously. They changed their order consecutively as they attacked the demons.

When the arrows rained down on them, the area surrounding the demons was soon covered with dust from the ground.

There was silence before they heard the cruel laughter behind the hazy vision. They watched as the dust slowly dispersed from their view.

There they stood without a single injury, as they looked at the humans mockingly.

Eve laughed, "Desperate much?" before she ordered the five reapers, "Show them what real power is."

The reapers moved in order as they stood in front of them with their scythes.

Freya's expression changed as she said, "Protect yourselves with your mana, NOW!"

Hearing her order, everyone did as she said but Lyndel's laugh echoed in her ears, "It's too late, mask girl."

Reapers wore a dark cloak around them, covering their face and only their skeletal hands were visible as they held the huge scythe. One of them swiped the scythe in front of him and Freya watched in horror as one reaper was enough to wipe out her front lines, disrupting their formation, thereby creating a huge blood fall.

"Undying Pledge." she heard it whisper.

She watched as her soldiers resurrect from death as their bodies filled with dark energy. They stood up unsteadily as they turned towards them, snarling at their fellow mates.

The archers continuously aimed at them, failing to crack their shield which was protecting them from the arrows.

Zeno narrowed his eyes as he held his hand up. He summoned his wind energy as he aimed at the shield.

There was something different in the way he was summoning his energy as the tip of his hand had a small ball of white energy which soon formed into an arrow.

He let the arrow out and the white arrow shone brighter each second before it touched the shield.

Adam raised his eyebrows as he saw a small crack form on the place, the arrow attacked which eventually shattered the shield leaving the demons in shock.

Zeno smirked evilly, "We will show you, what hell is like"
