Chapter 96: Sacrifices

We charged in and warp right above their heads, we were killing anyone that approaches us, slashing and hacking till they fell.

-Man, there's a lot of guys here, we're either gonna tire out or not destroy these pillars in time before people are sacrificed for a demon or a weapon whatever-

I then control the blood that was flying around and shoot them towards the enemies killing a few.

-Well you you guys show all your cards then you guys might be able to take them down, but many people will see you as threats afterwards- Dabria replied

-They already are!- Ace said as he shot out wind blades killing a few of their guys

-I can't use void of eternal dreams now, it'll also tire me out, shit!-

I then use 'Presence' to get people to pass out or die on the spot, Siege also joined in.

-Siege, don't use it yet, wait till I can't use it anymore then you use it to get more enemies-

Siege then turned the ability off and continued killing the onslaught of enemies.

Albert was at one of the pillars fighting alongside Lucas and Cecily.

"And here I thought today was going to be okay, but nope!" Lucas said as him and his raven were fighting the enemies "Besides where's your dragon?"

"Be more careful please." Cecily shouted as she healed Albert "I can only heal so much, my mana capacity isn't that big!"

"Aenon is going to one of the towers by himself!" Albert answered as he slashed a person down

-I'm killing so many people, but I don't know what else to do- Albert said

-We have no choice, Albert, right now we should stop them from whatever they're planning- Helena replied

-Do you need me to come back?- Aenon asked

-I'm fine, please focus on yours- Albert answered shakily

"Where's Perseus and Eleanor when you need them?!" Lucas shouted as he dodged a slash coming towards him

"Eleanor's a princess, remember?" Cecily replied as she shot a spell at the person targeting Lucas "She was probably forcefully evacuated, as for Perseus, if I'm right, he will be at one of these pillars too"

"You guys talk too much" a familiar voice said as he joined in the fight

"Liam! What are you doing here?!" Albert shouted in surprise

"Same as you, now stop talking" Liam replied "I also found help along the way"

"Never thought we'll fight together in this type of situation" Elliot shot bolts of lightning, electrocuting the enemies

"You evildoers will not touch my people" Caleb laughed "You shall now repent in front of the goddess, Helena!"

From a distance, a few huge crumbling sound was heard, 2 pillars fell and 2 dragons was seen flying out of the ashes. Knights and mages were also heading toward Albert's group helping them fight against the invaders.

-I'm moving on to the next one- Aenon informed Helena and Albert

-We have a chance!- Albert was starting to have hope

-There's too many!- Diana reported in -I can help out more if I'm not in this form and in my original form instead-

-Don't do that- Damon replied quickly -You're not only a rare beast, but also a mutant one-

-I know, I'm trying to do the best I can- Diana responded

-We're not fairing well either even with help from these knights and mages- Siege joined in

My eyes were starting to have these sparks within them.

-My eyes are choosing a weird time to act out right now-

-Well supposedly it's an ability you got from me, it should help you if you can unlock it- Dabria replied

-Nova seems to know what it is, but he wouldn't tell me though, he only ask me to play chess afterwards-

-Why did you turn your ability of?- Dabria asked

-Well we can't kill our allies now can't we?

It took us a very long time and there was only one of the pillars left. Everyone was heading for it to help out. But the purple lights was started to shine and by the time we got to the pillar.

-Shit, we're too late-

"We only got one pillar, we can't summon a demon like this!" Owen shouted

"I know" Silas replied "With only one pillar, the ritual of sacrifices won't work, but we don have enough time for a weapon with the power of the gods, isn't that right Milo?"

"Yes, the people who are killed during the fights are enough sacrifices for it" Milo replied "But the weapon won't last long considering we only got a handful this time"

"Well it should be enough to take over 2 kingdoms, and we can just always try this again" Silas chuckled "Too bad Leona got killed, this sight would've been amazing"

The 3 kneeled and started to chant a prayer, Silas then entered a dream like state, he was standing on air in a black void, he then heard a clap to which he turned to see an old man. The old man is around 180cm tall, spiky light blue hair, blue eyes, has a light blue beards that has ice tips, he was wearing a blue robe with a majestic looking spear by his side.

"I didn't think you could do it, Silas" the old god smiled

"Colden, the god of ice, I have followed your instructions, your chants and everything, will you now help us accomplish our goal?" Silas asked with his hands out

"Not a lot was sacrificed, with what I'm about to grant you will help you long enough to take down a kingdom at most" Colden responded

"I can always do it again later" Silas replied "Now, the spear?"

"Of course" Colden smiled as he grabbed his spear and chucked it through Silas body

"Wh-what the-AHHHHH" Silas was shocked as Colden then pulled the spear out

"I-I followed your instructions" Silas stuttered

"Well sorry I lied, I even broke the rules by telling you the ritual today, the other gods will be after me" Colden smiled coldly "I'll have to make a grand escape after this"

| I just had to put it there, I'm not wasting that chance, Ice god? Coldly? It was meant to be |

"I'm gonna need to borrow your body for a long while, take your well deserved rest" Colden then finished him off

Silas or Colden in this case then opened his eyes that was now blue in color.

"Silas, where's the weapon?" Owen asked

"Yeah, I thought that we would receive it after the ritual, Colden told us himself in our dreams" Milo added

"Ah nice to see you 2 in person" Colden chuckled "But I wouldn't be needing you any longer"

Colden then summoned his spear and slash both their throat in one swipe

"This was the weapon you all wanted, but since I'm in a mortal body, it's not as powerful as it's supposed to be, it's not even as durable as it should be" Colden then finished them off "But it should be enough to deal with mortals, this should be fun"
