BOOM! BOOM!...

BANG! BANG!..

Sounds of swords clashing, explosions, and gunshots were heard throughout the Spade Empire as it become a battlefield

Bloods were spread, Lives were Lost, cries resounded in the battlefield as the war continues,

Black with red stripes and death skull with fiery red eyes insignia badge uniformed soldiers fought with bravery against several soldiers on the enemy sides despite being at disadvantage in both numbers and strength and resources,

Some of the enemies wore either, blue, yellow, silver, purple, red, green, and golden colored uniformed,

But one thing is common in them that is the insignia on the badge on their shoulder, the insignia formed a sword and shield interwined with seven stars around it

It symbolizes their alliance, that's right seven empires formed an alliance called the Seven Star Alliance

Their main objective is to annihilate the soldiers of Spade Empire and to end the life the Crimson Devil,

Crimson Devil, the Supreme General of the Spade Empire and also the current Monarch of Spade Empire

They depicts him as a cruel, merciless and a greedy individual who will stop at nothing just to conquer the whole world.. his real name remains unknown both for his allies and enemies alike except for his closest comrades but those who truly know him can only be counted by fingers

Each of their expression differ from each other in the seven stat alliances sides hope amd joy filled in their faces as if they found their salvation

While the soldiers of the Spade Empire sides looked at them fearlessly for a moment then turned to look at the main palace where their supreme general and also the emperor resides with sadness and worry in their eyes

…

The one in Golden Uniform, Emperor Edward step forward and shouted

"COME OUT AND FACED YOUR JUDGEMENT EMPEROR OF SPADE EMPIRE, CRIMSON DEVIL!!" his voice carried murderous intent that resounded throughout the battlefield as a strong aura burst out from his body suppressing and silencing every soldier present..

…

Tap! Tap! Tap!

Sounds of footsteps is the only thing that could be heard in the silence battlefield

A man in black and crimson color uniform and a black robe with skull with raven wings symbols on his back and wearing an Ashura like Mask walks out of the main palace with his hands on his pockets,

He looked at the seven individuals with unknown emotions,

"I applaud you to have come this far"

"For almost 3 years in my position I was able to conquer ¼ of this world, but.. to think it will probably all end like this…"

"Truly unfortunate, but.. if you think that I will just hand over my life to you without fight, then your wrong, even if I know that I will lose,

"I WOULD NOT DIE WITHOUT TAKING AT LEAST ONE OF YOU DOWN WITH ME!!!" Boom!! Fiery crimson aura flared out from his body that his greater than the previous one

"FROM NOW ON IT'S NOT THE BATTLE BETWEEN THE SEVEN STAR ALLAINCE SOLDIERS AND THE SPADE EMPITES SOLDIERS, NOW IT IS ME AGAINSTS ALL OF YOU!!!" He declared as his aura increase

"SOLDIERS OF SPADE EMPIRE, FROM NOW ON YOUR JOURNEY AS THE EMPIRE SOLDIERS ENDS HERE, LEAVE THIS BATTLE AND CHANGE YOUR LIFE, YOUR OBLIGATION NOW ENDS, HERE YOUR FAMILY IS

NOW FREE! YOU ARE…NOW… FREE!" as soon as he declared his order, the soldiers of Spade Empire are all enveloped in white lights teleporting them for who knows where, but one thing is clear they will now be able to meet their family again and be free from their Cruel Emperor….

….

After all of them were teleported, The Spade's Emperor turned to look at the direction of the alliance emperors, "now its only me and your alliance" he said in calm tone

"Soldiers of the Seven Star Alliance Retreat! This is not a battle you could handle leave this to us" ordered by the Empress Alexia, while maintaining her eyes to the crimson devil being alert on his possible attack

Moments Later after their forces retreated

"I don't know if you are being arrogant or what, you let our forces retreat, which could possibly advantage for as we will not be able to used our full strength but, now we can now finally.. RUN WILD!!" Emperor Augustus shouted..

"Well, you see It won't be fun if I only fought you lot with your restricted strength so why not since I know this is probably the end for me so…, LET'S FIGHT!!"

Violent aura burst out from his body as he took of his hand from his pocket and clenched both of them as his hands burst darkish red aura, then he move

Flash!

His speed skyrocketed towards the seven of them,

The seven of reacted bursting out their aura their color similar to their uniformed as they sped towards the crimson devil, facing him off in a hand to hand combat,

Then the two sides met and clashed with their fist,

Boooooomm!

Buildings and houses were shattered from the impact as

Violent force burst out from them as their fist make contact

[Meanwhile at the main palace]

A man in his mid 40s is in the hall as he stand up from his sit as he raised his glass of wine towards them as a sign of respect to the Supreme General, his General and gulped down the glass of an expensive wine

"It's truly the best, but its unfortunate as this will be the last drink we had together" the man said with sigh as tears slowly starts to formed in his brows as he close his eyes to reminiscence their last drink and the words he left before heading out to fight, "live on my friend"

He opened his eyes, and looked towards the back of his Supreme General and also someone he considered as a Friend,

Tears fell down from his eyes, and saluted for the last time as slowly disappeared into darkness and saying some words…

"To think the once a cheerful and innocent boy would become like this, it is truly a pity.. if only there is no war then… perhaps it will not be like this.…"

"Tragedy could truly change people"
