Visitors and Welcome

__________ POV Ashton__________

Well, here I am. With my wings spread above the entire human continent, watching over the slowly approaching sea of monsters.

So closely packed together that it's honestly exciting to see just how many will actually be able to even touch the shores of this continent.

But many of the beasts are actually flying ones. They seem to be just as numerous. My previous estimate of around 2 billion might actually be a bit low now that I think about it... Sea monsters also seem to be joining the horde at all times.

I can feel my tail twirl around in the air, waving to the monsters in excitement. My job? Making sure that many of them die before they are even close to touching the wall of trees around the continent.

The nuclear explosives I've created aren't going to come into play yet. Hmm, what's this?

__________ POV Narration__________

Ashton could feel his senses telling him to dodge to the side, so he decided to listen. His body disappeared from its previous location and reappeared 10 meters away.

With the corner of his eye, he could see many spears aimed at that location whizzing past the clouds and parting them slightly.

"Seraphs, huh?" Ashton looked at the hole in the clouds and instantly recognized his enemy.

The Seraphs were somewhat humanoid beings, usually having three sets of dove wings. They were shaped similarly to humans, but they had no faces, and their bodies were also usually much larger, they also had two sets of hands.

They were known to be able to conjure spears out of their bodies and were instinctively good at throwing them.

Ashton looked in the direction the spears came from, he could see exactly five seraphs. All of them seemed to have different auras, and they were definitely intelligent.

Ashton could feel their hate directed specifically at him.

"Well, well, well... Look what trash the sea has washed on my shore... More gods." Ashton spoke loudly, just enough for the five beings to clearly hear him.

"Cocky worm, you may have defeated the great one, but you have no chance against all of our combined forces~!" The beings spoke in complete synchronisation. It was odd to hear, and Ashton felt like there were dozens of voices overlapping in that sentence.

"So you claim I'm cocky, arrogant... But, have you ever looked at yourselves for a bit?" Ashton appeared in front of the beings, a sickening smile present on his face.

"So much arrogance, to show yourselves here in front of my face with so little strength." As Ashton spoke, the end of his tail opened up and instantly swallowed the heads of all the Seraphs.

Well, he actually swallowed the upper part of their bodies entirely, but their heads were also there, so that counts.

Ashton then whipped his tail into the air, parting all of the storm clouds that were forming. His move revealed just how close the flying beasts were getting to him.

"So many guests! I guess I should greet them properly..." Ashton didn't move, he just looked down.

The wall of trees seemed to expand exponentially growing with more and more flowers, it eventually reached above where the clouds once were.

And then, the flowers all bloomed at the same time. Many would've described the image as beautiful, if not for the danger that these blood-red blooms were representing.

Suddenly, a purplish miasma covered the sky directly in front of the advancing horde of flying monsters.

Ashton stood on the other side and watched the mist with lacking interest. Not a single sign of any beast reaching the other side.

Why? The very second they came into contact with the miasma, two things could happen. One, they were poisoned to death. Two, they inhaled some spores and became trees that swallowed and tangled up other monsters while falling down from the sky.

'This isn't good though... At some point, they will have a staircase of corpses large enough to completely ignore my botanical walls..." The numbers weren't ever going to be useless in a fight.

Especially since Ashton was pretty sure of their intentions. The monsters were likely going to completely surround the whole new continent, then they were likely going to rush in and storm the last human city...

Well, if they managed to reach it anyway. It didn't matter how large the perimeter of the continent was. Ashton only cared to thin out the herd, not to protect all of the continent.

They only needed to focus on protecting the city, which was strategically built to only be attacked from one direction. Having a sturdy mountain on one side, a dome of trees on the others.

The trees were actually tougher than the mountain, so Ashton also covered the mountain in trees. That was beside the large wall of trees that surrounded the entire city.

The defences they had prepared were extensive. On paper, there was no chance for them to lose... But they all knew better than to be overconfident.

Suddenly, Ashton could feel a slight buzz in his consciousness. Flying through the fog of miasma and looking at the sea, he could see a large lightning discharge happening in the middle of it.

"Oh, they found the mines. I guess they will be having fun with them for a while..." Ashton didn't make a set amount of underwater mines. That would lead to all of them just detonating each other and not causing all that much damage.

The mines kept reforming seconds after they were triggered. Ashton was observing them and reforming them with his mind every time.

It kept him busy, but the flying beasts were already of no concern. The ones that flew higher were met with even more miasma, as the wall of trees kept expanding endlessly upwards. Well, at least until it reached a certain altitude that could no longer allow for growth.

Ashton smiled as he could see the numbers of the beasts growing lower and lower by the seconds. But he knew that there were many more to come.

'The miniature sun would've been so nice to have here...'
