While the war was beginning to get hectic in the Jura Forest Front. Meanwhile in an Unknown place.
*Boom!* *Boom!*
Explosions boomed as an unknown kingdom was besieged by demons. All of them had a distinctive yellow colour on some part of their bodies either it be their hair, eyes or even just clothings.
Up high in the sky, a small figure lazily floated as her fingers occasionally threw nuclear magic down below uncaring of whether it might hit the demons or humans.
"*Yawn* This is too boring. I had hoped boss would give me an exciting first mission. This is just lame." Thaleia sighed out in boredom.
There was nothing fun for her in this kingdom. This unknown kingdom was so weak that one of her underlings could demolish this whole place easily. She only participated because there was nothing else to do.
"I wonder what those two might be doing.."
She thought as she guessed their plan of actions based on their personality.
"Blanc..or Selenia would have just allowed her subordinates to deal with these weaklings. As for Calypso, she might have taken the political route."
The three demons sisters as they are referred to now, were given free reign over what to do with their targets. As long as the final result was the complete annexation of the kingdoms, it didn't matter what the process was.
The only catch was that it had to be done before this war ended, which might take a few months. Which was a lot for primordial demons like them. Even a day was enough.
"Heh, never thought that I would be able to freely destroy a kingdom. I wonder what Guy is thinking." As her thoughts wandered of she looked down to see that the invasion of this kingdom was done.
"Welp, four more to go and I can have that Cupcake those chefs make."
--------
Back to the Jura Front.
"How are these monsters so strong!??"
One of the Eastern soldiers screamed as he quickly deflected a sword strike from an Dragon Knights only to be slashed by another.
"Let me ask you a better one, Why are they so strong!!?" A companion of the soldier screamed in as he jumped in before the Sword slash holding his shield.
But the slash was too strong for them as they got knocked back a few feet. The heavily armoured Dragon Knights showed unnatural speed as it quickly approached the two soldiers and slashed them, ending their lives.
Such scenes was happening throughout the vast plains as in the night sky, illuminated by the Moon light and the roaring fire of the burning camps, the dragon knights fought off two or three of the eastern soldiers at once.
With their B tier strength and speed enhanced by the Runes and powerful weapons upon them, the exerted strength onpar with an unorthodox Special B rank.
The dragon knights had undergone a serious training regime and we're induced with a dragon serum that made them stronger the more longer they fought. Their bloodlust would rise and their Magicule production would also be doubled with no side-effects like Beserking off mindlessly.
The battlefield was a complete slaughter.
It was a fact that the Eastern Empire were experiencing. While the middle was relatively clean with the Dragon Knights quickly finishing off the enemies. It couldn't be said the same for the two wings.
On one side, the Beastmen ripped their opponents apart as they savoured the blood and gore. Finding pleasure in the screams of suffering their victims let out for the fleeting moment before they ultimately got severed in half.
While on the other side, the Undead killed their victims as they too transformed into Zombies, Skeletons or Ghouls. This caused far more panic and confusion in the ranks as the Soldiers struggled to attack their former fellow soldiers.
The magic tanks of the Empire were also involved in the battlefield but they were quickly matched with the Golems that Orion had. With the help of the mages, the tanks were getting dismantled.
Swiftly the battlefield was getting evened out. While a few minutes back the Eastern Empire had doubled the amount of Soldiers compared to Orion's. Now, the number advantage was quickly dwindling, not that they had any advantages to begin with.
On the other hand, Orion was quickly gaining more fighting Power in the form of more undead as they suffered relatively low casualties with the mages' rapid healing spells.
What about the leaders you'd say? Well they are currently in a perilous situation. Currently they have become entangled in a barrier with the Ministers of Orion as they got themselves played with.
The three were under a barrier that quickly drained the Magicules of the target as it transferred the Magicules to either the one casting it or is used in other uses.
Tatsuya and Gadrim were relatively uninjured but Calgurio had already perished under Elizabeth's Holy Strike Spell.
They didn't even have the time to question how a vampire could use holy magic, their only thoughts being how to escape this barrier.
The one who cast it was Adrigal or rather the Rotating Cube beside her was responsible for this troublesome Barrier. A construct made by the efforts of Isabella and Rhombus' magical and scientific capabilities that allowed one to cast a Large Barrier capable of even trapping a True Dragon although for only a few minutes until it eventually would quickly get destroyed.
Besieged by Adrigal, the strongest attacker of Deudenia's Guardians, Elizabeth, the All Rounder Battle Maiden it was simply a matter of time before Tatsuya and Gadrim too perished. It has been a long time since they became an S rank Individuals, along with the experience gained from hundreds of years and Bael's Divine Dragon Aura saturating them made them awaken into Special S ranks.
"Sigh, I really wished I asked for more personels..." Tatsuya sighed as he looked at the two females ahead.
He regreted not bringing all of the Imperial Guardians. It was infact foolish of him to think he alone be able to clear a path to the capital of Orion. Yes, their now dwind army were merely scouts that would be used to cut down the fodders before the real war would be staged.
But still...
"Hahaha, I too would have liked to fight and maybe die by the hands of that Lion beast man. He was strong...they all are...I am sorry Kondou, I failed you guys."
At first Gadrim made a jest as he expressed his real feelings at the moment. It was because of him they decided to rush out directly to the main bosses, thinking only one of them were Special S rank. But as it turns out three of them were special S rank and the other already reaching it.
"Don't you apologise Gadrim. We will surely get out this, alive...Calgurio I am sorry, we failed to amsave you."
As Tatsuya admonished Gadrim for giving up so early he also made a silent prayer to the one whose soul and body both were disintegrated into the Sub-atomic particles.
"Enough of this, we are still alive. We die or not today, it doesn't matter. We live for the Empire and we will also die for it!!" Even though trapped in the barrier, his voice echoed throughout the battlefield as the Empire's soldiers gained a bit of courage as they too rallied, striking more harder and fierce than before.
"But it is already too late...." Bael spoke as he got up from his throne.
"Are we moving to the next step my Lord?"
Medusa asked as she saw Bael walk in the middle of the throne room.
"Yes." Was all he needed to say as Medusa got to work, using the Console provided by the Throne to order the NPCs into moving.

I really wished I knew someone who could do justice to the battles of known Characters. If you didn't know I am a noob at battle sequences and choreography.
With the way I am doing, I might just write off the summary of Bael Wining against Michael but that would be boring so I am now watching Yt videos about Michael and Feldway's Power and effects.
Anyway this is all an excuse for me to say that the next chapter will be released late.
