Blood on the Snow Part 7: The Results of the Daemonic Surge, and the Upcoming Duel

(General POV)

Location Nord Sector, Eldar World-Ymir, outer snowfields of the Mountains of the Shi'lanorai/Battlefield Carnage Forces Vs. Loyal Shi'lanorai

While Laharl was admiring the carnage happening all around him, he felt his avatar was hit by something...

Turning his head slightly, he saw through his Infernal Destroyer's eyes as the ornate full-armored Shi'lanorai that he immediately recognized as the shi'lanorai king, Emrril Shik'Adammine, was laying and grouning on the snow.

The Infernal Destroyer, slowly turning his body, avoiding to alert the feeble mortal beneath him as his Avatar's wings remained still and the tail sway in the air, as he watched the frost eldar struggle to stand, and not noticing him...

The king struggled to stand, still feeling the pain from the previous impact he suffered a little while ago.

But then, as he stood, he felt a very malignant and powerful entity behind him as he realized he was launched against this creature, King Shik'Adammine tightened the grip on his Frozen Dragon ready to strike at this being.

Steadying his breathing, as a puff of cold breath escaped his helm, he spun to his right to deliver a horizontal slash at his enemy only for the sound of clanking echoed as his sword met with a massive black sword, so huge it was three time his height, before he could strike again Emrril he was grabbed and lightly crushed in the monster's left claw.

Laharl lifted the little king, fitting easily within his Claw of Hades, as well as slowly and smoothly started to crush him as the avatar spoke through telepathy, "So this is the once bloody warrior king of the Shi'lanorai?" giving a brutal, short squeeze causing Emrril to scream in pain as Laharl lessen his grip and kept on speaking, "All I see...is a coward. A warrior killed by peace, fear of conflict, and unwillingness to cause needless bloodshed. You deserve the most painful death imaginable. Your soul...the souls of your race is mine."

Before the Infernal Destroyer could either crush or slash with his sword, the Dark One heard someone calling out to him.

Turning towards the snowy field, he saw his daemon queen-to-be walking towards him with her great ice-axe, the Skathi low on her side with a serious look on her beautiful light brown face.

Her eyes of turquoise, silver, and violet as the Ymirian wind blew through her silver long hair and violet tinted Ymirian Bear pelt over her shoulder Laharl saw her beauty, bloodlust, madness, darkness and so much more.

Once, she was a few feet away from the Dark One she kneeled and rested her right hand on the pummel of her Skathi, lowered her head to him in a show of respect and admiration.

She said to him, "My dark master, Alka'lkarnak. Please...allow me to kill this coward that has ruined my race. Let me present his heart to you and kill him before you." this made Laharl chuckle as he turned his gaze from Crystallyl to the king captive in his claw and said, "An cowardly insect isn't worthy of being killed by a Dark Go." tossing him aside as the king skip on the ground a few times, and to insure this duel to the death isn't interrupted by the battle around them, Laharl summoned his heralds both the slaughter and spectral variants.

They all circled Crystallyl and Emrril, forming a makeshift, an arena between the former father and daughter, the Dark One he psychically commanded his high-daemons to not let any interrupt the duel and also not let the king escape alive, nodding to their Dark God and the shi'lanorai king finally on his feet the death battle between him and Crystallyl over the fate of the Shi'lanorai has begun...

As this duel was starting all over the battlefield, it was clear that the Carnage forces were dominating and also the ones that were winning, especially with the lesser succubi charming and slaughtering majority of their male warriors.

The slime girl Ruu viciously and almost child-like murder and consumption of their forces, along with now spawning and commanding over a hundred daemon slimes that only the Cryomages and witches were able to harm, they have only managed to take down a few before the slimes overwhelmed them.

Then was Ragna, she personally had murder hundreds of shi'lanorai warriors with her bare-hand, her pure black skin bathed in blood along with her white flame like hair, golden armor and white leotard.

She crushes all in her path every time they harm her she became more powerful, brutal, and fearsome, and when she struck at her victims she healed either a bit or a lot from all the previous damage she's suffered making it like an endless loop which soothed the Rampaging Queen.

Ragna was sitting on top of a huge pill of beaten and crushed corpses, having become bored of not having a worthy challenge amongst the mortal, then she was joined by her sister that plupted beside her munching on a light brown skinned, shi'lanorai arm.

They were about to talk when they noticed a force of around a hundred shi'lanorai ice warriors charging at the two Daemon Queens/Lesser Chaos Goddesses that's when Ragna sighed and asked her sister, "You or me?" Ruu swallowing a chunk of the arm responded, "Ragna, I know you want to crush these toys alone. Besides, I'm busy "cleaning" up your mess." as she finished with a giggle, as Ruu went back to eating.

Ragna chuckled as she thought that her childish sister was right, despite not being a big challenge, she had fun crushing skulls with her hands, so she stood up and circled her right arm, knocking out the kinks in her arm as she walked down the corpse pill with a sadistic smile on her face.

In other areas, the Bloodstained Snow Beasts have tripled in number, killing and dominating the older generations, calling themselves warriors as well the carnage daemons were butchering soo many of the loyalists, while majority of the souls were fed to their Dark God, a few were granted for them to torment and devour in the Warp.

This was generosity of their Chaos God, earning more loyalty from them to the Dark One.

But amongst these daemons, one of them that has the highest kill count was Beelzabub, who was currently swarmed by hundreds and hundreds of fly drones, as the fly elder daemon walked through snow and corpses.

He had his huge pair of sickles sheathed on his back, as he was eating full shi'lanorai bodies, and melted gore of sludge made from the victims of either the elder daemon or his children, speaking of his drones several of them were skittering and buzzing over the corpses turning them into more sludge with their acidic spew, when he was enjoying his meal he sensed some of the frost eldar archers (Crystal Wraiths) trying to sneak up on him, and fire ice arrows at him only for some of his drones to fly in between the arrow volley, protecting Beelzabub.

Beelzabub slowly spread his wings and started to fly surrounded by an agitated swarm of giant flies, once again, he unsheated his sickles as his multiple red insect eyes focused on the few remaining mortals resisting against them, Beelzabub spoke clearly focusing his words for the archers, "More morsels for me..." as he pointed one of his claws at the crystal wraiths direction and order his drones, "Kiiiiiillllll...bring me their inners..." and immediately when Beelzabub gave the command, the flies swarmed forward like a giant buzzing cloud of death.

Shortly after the fly elder daemon followed behind his children, all over the still loyalists shi'lanorai were being massacred to the last by the forces of Carnage.

Already, Ragna was slaughtering the ice warriors that dared to challenge her and Ruu.

She stomped on the head of a downed ice warrior, crushing his skull in a sick crunching splat, as she struck another shi'lanorai twice on the face followed by a rising cross that slice his face and throat killing another, Ragna felt an ice-spear pierce her belly making her bleed and even cough some daemon blood but this only served to enhance her [Berserk Aura] as she grip the spear pulling it out of herself.

The ice warrior tried to retreave his weapon, but Ragna's highly enhanced daemonic superstrength prevented this as the daemon queen laughed, showing her jagged teeth as she punched the ice warrior in the ribs soo hard that she felt several of them snap over her fist.

He coughed up blood, as the damage that he caused to Ragna was starting to heal as the intense pain and struggle to breathe overwhelmed the shi'lanorai, as he released his grip on his ice weapon Ragna grabbed his neck forcing the suffocating ice warrior to look at her, as her garnet red eyes as they started to glow a deeper color before she fired three lasers from them, burning through the ice warrior killing him painfully.

As the body went limp on her large clawed hand, Ragna scuffed tossing the dead shi'lanorai over her shoulder onto the pill behind her.

Ragna heard her sister Ruu clapping and cheering for while she still sat on top of the pill of corpses, and ate cheerfully, and she spawned a couple more Daemon Slimes that joined her in eating the loyalists shi'lanorai remains and she kept on cheering for her sister that continues her brutal rampage.

Many loyalists, ice warriors, snow hunters, crystal wraiths, and cryomages/witches witnessing these horrors and atrocities happening all over have chosen to run and live, abandoning those still fighting and dying, many which were the stubborn royal guards.

They chose to run, which Laharl sensed this as many, many souls were getting further, and further away from the battle.

So, in response to this, he ordered psychically his c'hartari along with Jar Zera'val, snow beasts, flesh horrors,stalkers, and slaughter calvary to hunt down and kill these cowards for daring to appear in a battle and running instead of dying against his daemonic subjects.

Immediately upon hearing this mental order from their dark master, they chased after these fleeing shi'lanorai before they could actually escape them, with Jar Zera'val being the most excite and eager to please her Dark God in hopes to earn more favor and notice from him but all these emotions and desires that Laharl sensed made him laugh as his Carnage Champion's desperation, envy, and lust were still amusing to him, as the Dark One got comfortable for the upcoming fight he saw as the gobos have joined the circle clamoring for blood making the Dark One laugh as they are exactly like his dear wife Jade.

As from within the Infernal Destroyer, Laharl watched as the duel between his future eighth queen and the coward king began their battle.
