Chapter No.21 The Storm Before the Calamity

(AN - Finally, I am (almost) finished with this volume, creativity pulled a dip on me, but I can finally post this, it's surprising to find out how hard it is pulling stuff out of your ass trying to find bronze and silver, sometimes the occasional gold)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*Sigh

(Deep breaths, no need to be nervous, this is gonna go according to plan, no need to worry I can do this)

"Ya nervous leader?"

My thoughts got interrupted by Sor

"A little, it's the first time I actually lead an army into war"

I responded embarrassingly

"Come on, first time for everything, I belive in you"

Sor supported me

"You say that, but the calm before the storm is always the worst for me"

I retorted

"Well that's too bad, it's about time for us to start, blow the ceiling open!"

--------------------------Auric Pov--------------------------

(It is about time for use to go to battle, according to our discussed strategy, we spread out and release the smoke inside our bodies and take down our enemies in the cover of it, to deal with the airborne there are some of us who have ranged skills, there I could also throw swords created with <Lightning Sword>, when we have cleared out the area we are to build a wall to keep out the cultists, thankfully some of us also have Earth Magic)

*BOOM

"That's the signal go up and spread out! Kill cultists on sight! Protect the prisoners! Spread out and release your smoke!"

--------------------------3rd person PoV--------------------------

Suddenly an explosion occurred behind the Stronghold out of which a bunch of Aurmours emerged, three explosion followed said explosion, to the front right and front left of the castle out of which even more armours emerged from, the fourth explosion occurred in the middle of the broken village, out of which black smoke proceeded to emerge spreading through the village, out of which Lightning Swords and Lightning Arows struck airborne cultist, meanwhile the cultists within the smoke cloud never emerged

--------------------------Feru PoV--------------------------

(Everything is going according to plan right now, but I still can't shake this feeling about the stronghold...)

"Okay, we've cleared out the area it's time for the stronghold, Leader"

Said Sor bringing me back to the battlefield

"Alright, half of the armours stay outside and start building the wall! The other half will go inside the stronghold with me and Sor!"

I Yelled and started counting

"We go in on Three"

"Two"

"One"

"Rush the gates!"

--------------------------Back to Auric--------------------------

(For now everything is going according the plan, while we haven't located the prisons yet, it's just a matter of time before we have cleared out the cultists, and are able to spend the rest of our time locating it...)

*Shink

the sound of a sword being drawn was heard in the distance as Auric turned to it, knowing no ally was nearby, turned to the sound, summoning his <Lightning Sword> with a thunder

"KeHeHaHuEhAkAhI ThErE SeAm tO Be rAtS In tHeSe hOuSeS... GuEsS It'S TiMe fOr fIrE KuHeUkAkEhOh"

was a crazed voice heard from the direction Auric pointed his sword at, as a multitude of swords were heard as well, when Auric saw the man, he could only say that a madman experimented on him, or that man was the madman that experimented on himself, it was a considerably high man, he was almost two third the size that Auric was, with wearing the cultist robe, around twenty arms emerged from his back, each holding a sharp surgical equipment such as scalpels, needles, scissors, syringes, enlarged to a great degree, as if he was going to operate on a dragon, his entire face was removed, leaving only his mouth, which wore an insane smile, then the man proceeded to attack, he threw his right arm in a downwards manner, signalling his other ten hands to attack, as it was easily dodged by Auric, with how obvious it was, the man continued with a left hook, as his other ten left arms followed, nearly piercing Auric, but was promptly parried, but when he swung at the arms, not a scratch was left by his sword

"KeHeHaUhEkAeH, LeT Me dIsEcT YoU, I lIkE YoU YoU'Re iNtErEsTiNg, I WoNdEr hOw yOu'rE BoDy wOrKs, yOu'lL MaKe a fInE AdDiTiOn tO Me, jUsT AbAnDoN ThAt lOwLy mUt"

rambled the madman as he continued repeating the same attacks, but that was also the first response he got from Auric, his blue eyes turned red

"You may insult me all you want, but insulting my master is a death wish"

he said as he activated <Intimidation> and <Lightning Discharge> targeting his sword, now if you payed attention in science class, you would know the human body is extremely conductive, and this was also Auric attacking the cultist, which had a "human body" If you would call it that, that should result in the cultists brain frying, if it hasn't already, is what you would expect

"WoNdErFuL, WoNdErFuL, WoNdErFuL StImUlUs, i wAnT YoU, KaKaKaUhAhEuHaHa"

The man stood there, with a hole in his chest, and Lightning bouncing of of him, the result was the man's skill <Aptitude Absorption> which allows him to absorb attacks with elements, but he needs to discharge the absorbed energy before taking a different element

but Auric didn't know that, so he slashed at the man, from his left arm, across his chest, down to his right, but the lightning sword broke, being absorbed by the man, and with Auric making a fatal mistake, the arms, with sharp weapons in hand, ripped his breastplate off, even though he could quickly regenerate using the Demonshade's property of shape-shifting, he was maddened nonetheless, for such a foul being to damage the precious body that his creator made for him, it was as if spitting in his creator's face

Auric grabbed his breastplate before it could fly of and absorbed it back into himself, now that he knew the lightning had no effect, he shape-shifted his arm into a one edged broadsword, with a curved tip

"KeHaHuKeKaHeHa yOu mAkE Me wAnT YoU EvEn mOrE"

And so Auric slashed, it was blocked by an arm, he cut through, he slashed yet again just to be blocked again, just to cut through another arm, he repeated until the cultist had no more arms left, and there is where the cultists had to cut his losses, as he was cut in half, multiple times, not to mention the hole in his chest

--------------------------Feru PoV--------------------------

(we stormed into the stronghold and killed all the cultists, what was in the stronghold, for that I can't say much, all I felt was an ominous presence across a door, I had everyone protect the stronghold while I would go confront it, is what I thought I would do but this fucker is a complete counter)

"Oh the little wolf still can't find his pray?"

was a mocking voice heard across the room

Whenever I spread out my <Magicule Area> I would locate him, is what I thought, but

"Oh, too bad, you hit another decoy"

"COME OUT AND FIGHT ME YOU COWARD"

"Now why would I do that, I mean you can't get out of this room, without defeating me, so this was the plan to capture the enemy leader, but I thought, "What kind of fool would fall for such a dumb trick", but to my surprise there are so many fools in this world"

his annoying word made my veins pop, and his annoying skills, and his annoying voice, and his annoying being

"Fuck it, Bomb"

"Bomb?"

and so I concentrated a ridiculous amount of magicules into a bomb

"Oh no, we can't have that"

And so a small something was fired at it, and dispersed it before it could explode

"Found you"

I fired at the spot that fired the something

"Nope, a Decoy"

"Fuck you you bastard!"

"Nope, do it yourself"
