*Tin*!!!

*Tin*!!!

*Whooshh*!!!

.""Attack him from all sides!"".

A green eye skeleton stood calmly as it easily and casually deflected and destroyed the group of 12 magician surrounding him."You are all quite pitiful for the supposed greatest of this country."He said as his eyes flared.

*1 Hour Ago*

~~

Quickly the split off two groups that went out to help number 11 and 12, all gathered back up together with everyone, they were all now discussing how to approach the Aarav state and take on the last threat.

Aoimi calmly stood before the other's."Now, everyone I suggest we do an ambush, as we enter the perimeter of the state we should begin preparing some large scale magics before hand."She said seriously, she glanced at Number 9.'it is better to be safe than sorry, isn't that right Master.'

.""Leader I think you are taking this caution thing a little too far, just preparing those types of magics alone takes energy, why waste it for no reason?"".Number 2

Number 6 nodded."Number 1, I agree with him, we together should be more than enough to take on a mere undead, all the other's went down easy enough."He said layed back just chilling.

.""I agree with Number 1.""Divy said with his usual serene expression, he of course agrees with his disciple, he taught it to her.

Number 8 sneered."Of course you agree with her, you always do with everything, tell us why oh great and wise dog."He said mockingly.

."..ok, it is simple, it is better to be safe than sorry, we go in unprepared and something happens, the first thought would be "I should have", we should always give our all, should we meet our end, we would know there is no more that could have been done."Divy said slowly, calmly and crystal clear.

Everyone but Number 8 seemed to nodded at that thinking it made sense, Number 8 just grit his teeth in silence.

."So I suppose everyone is in agreement, good, after all this time we should expect that the entire state has either been exterminated or evacuated, so we will swoop in and hit hard from the get go, let's move out."Aoimi said serious as she floated up in the air, the Aarav state was just next door.

Everyone flew up after her disappearing like stars, Number 8 grumbled under his breath but he flew along as well.

They all prepared their magics.

They were taking on some serious speed, in almost no time at all they closed in on Aarav state, as they got closer they slowly started to frown, Aoimi got soleme.

As they arrived at the state, outside got darker like night, they could see nothing but clouds of smoke rising up, fire ravaged the land, no sight of humans could be seen, only the dead.

They inevitably got a bit nervous, out of everyone, the only ones that kept truly calm were Aoimi and her former master Divy who still had a serene expression.

Undead run rampant in the streets, destroying everything living or inanimate, now that the state was clear of life they just destroyed the buildings and corroding the land, meaning nothing can no longer bear fruit and no life can prosper.

In the center of all this is a lone undead, same as the others yet different, large arms made of flesh, green eyes unlike the others red, a war hammer in his hands looking directly at the 12 humans in the sky."Human heh.".

Instantly everysingle one of them was hit by cold sweats, even though outside was hot from the fires, number 10, 11 and 12 were trembling shaking in their boots.

Divy was the only one really holding up good against this unknown pressure they were feeling in the air, but he too was sweating just a bit.

."What the hell is this, this can't be, how can something like this exist!?!?."Number 8 spoke with a trembling voice, his hands shook like a leaf in the wind.

Aoimi gulped as rain spilled on her face."Mast-number 9, is-it, this the thing you mentioned?."She asked him clenching her fist.

."..yes, all I can say is prepare to die here, but I will try my best to make sure you don't."Divy said calmly as he looked right at the undead General catching his eyes.

The undead general's mouth opened in a grin."Human, you have kept your word, you've returned with help, I waited for you, I knew you would entertain me."He said raising his war hammer behind his head till it touched the ground, then swung.

*Whoosh*

*Fhh*

*Fhh*

*Fhh*

With ungodly speed and force the undead general threw his hammer at the 12 magician, Number 8 instantly move out of the way without hesitation.

Aoimi's eyes widened."NUMBER 3 THE WALL.!."She shouted to number 3 who was frozen still.

Hearing that shouted broke numbed 3 out of her shock, she quickly reacted.""Barrier Magic:Elemental Wall!!!""."She spoke out as a magic circle appeared infront of them bringing with it four layers, a black rock infront, a fire wall after, a water wall behind that and a wind wall pushing it all forward.

*Swoosh*!!!

*Boom*!!!

*Crack*

*Whooshh*!!!

The giant hammer wiz pass them after just barely being slowed down by the Elemental Wall, Number 3 breathed heavily with sweats, that was her most powerful Magic, usually, even the leader would not be able to break through a barrier like that.

Aoimi's eyes flashed."Quickly, now that he lost his weapon, attack from all sides!!."She bellowed out summoning her own magic circle above her creating lightning archs in the air.

Everyone was already ready so they just summoned the Magic circles and fired without needing to gather it up, they were lucky their leader was over cautious.

.""Elemental Magic:Elemental Blast!"".Number 3

.""Fire Magic:Raging Flame!"".10

.""Sky Kings Treasury!"".12

.""Forbidden Wright:Weaken Bone!"".Number 6

.""Alchemic Rune:Planetary Hunger!"".5

.""Alchemic Rune:Sword Of Judgment!"".8

.""Light Magic:Chains Of Binding!"".2

.""Plant Magic:Tree Of Life!"".11

.""Black Magic:Corrosive Hand!"".7

.""Light Magic:False Holy Light!"".4

.""Lightning Magic:Heavens Lightning!"".1

.""Mrtyu ka lakshy punarjanm hai(The Goal Of Life Is Death)"".9

*Fshhh*!!!

*Shhh*!!!

*Wooshh*!!!

*Swooshh*!!!

*Pew*!!!

*ZIIIII*!!!

*Om*!!!

*Wah*!!!

With the undead general being the center, a storm of magic rained around him, from a hundred swords coming at him to a beam of holy light, the sky's lit up brightly.

Even from below, vines rose up to bind him and the ground opened to swallow him up, for any other undead it would probably be over.

."He he he, You are all quite pitiful for the supposed greatest of this country, do you believe this enough, I will show you, humanity can never reach the supernatural realm."The undead general spoke calmly, he pulled his fist back to his side and clenched, upon clenched a ghostly aura surrounded his arms, it looked like spirits flowing around it.

.""Dead Magic:Vampire Ghost"".

*Shhhh*!!!

The undead general summon a pitch black magic circle, out of it 12 hungry ghost like beings flew out of it headed straight for the 12 magicians not even bothered with the Magic.

*BOOOM*!!!!

All the combined magics of the 12 hit the undead general head on, there is no way he could possibly survive that or so they hope, it exploded, making a cloud of dust rise.

Aoimi was deathly pale."Ignore these Ghost, we have to make sure that thing is dead, master-nu-number 9 please."She said sounding a bit worried.

.""Yes!"".

They all teleported to behind the Ghosts, they raced down, some of them were on their last energy, some had none but they could still throw a punch or two.

As they arrived they were struck by a sense of imminent death, in the dust cloud a pair of green light was watching them."Got ya."The undead general said as he reached out his hand and grabbed one of them by the foot.

Number 8 was the one that was caught, his heart jumped, he looked at the other's with terrified eyes."No..no..BIG SISTER SAVE ME, SAVE ME PLEASEE!!!."He screamed out at the top of his lungs as he was dragged to the undead.

The other's stood frozen in shock as they could only watch on, even Divy Antardrshti number 9, he was barely able to position his body infront of his disciple Aoimi.

.""...no.."".

*Crunch*!

*Spurt*!

The undead general bit number 8's head clean off his shoulders as blood spout out, his eyes still open and his expression scared.

Piss came from his body after he died as the undead released it letting it hit the ground with a tud.

Divy's expression was terrible, for the first time in a long time his mood had changed, he was..furious."...Aoimi..listen to me..take the other's and run, run as for away from here as you can, run to another country if need be, India is finished."He said looking at the undead washing itself with the blood.

Aoimi snapped back to her senses."What do you mean by that master, are you planning to stay here, out of the question, I'm not leaving you behind."She said not taking no for an answer she flew over to him but suddenly froze.

Divy glanced back at her with warm eyes instead of being frustrated, like a father to his daughter."Please, let me, do this, we can't all make it, allow this, Oldman, a worthwhile death."He said with eagerness in his eyes and a determination of youth that doesn't fit his aged body.

Aoimi was in silence as she saw this spark in her master's eyes that she had never seen before, she sighed."...please becareful master."She said hold back her tears, she nodded to the other's seriously.

They too catch back themselves, they all bowed in the directions of divy, they know they did not have the courage to stay behind and face certain annihilation.

*Shhhh*

After they disappeared into the distance, Divy turned to the general with a calm expression."I wonder, why did you wait until they were gone, I'm sure you could have taken them all out in an instant."He said rolling down his dharma robe, revealing his scrawny old body.

."Hmm interesting."The undead General's eyes lit up liking what he sees.

Divy's old body was not just old and filled with the presence of death, it also had the memories of life etched into it as well, his body was covered in so many scars, it was almost impossible to see clear skin, stabs from swords, small swords and big, punctures, slices, one was from his shoulder to his abdomen.

Divy clenched his fist."I will say my name once again, this one's earthly name is Divine Insight(Divy Antardrshti), Great Master Yogi, in service to his majesty Lord Shiva."He said as his white eyes turned pitch black.

."I see."The undead general got serious, he created a tendril of magic, he sent it out into the distance quickly retrieving his war hammer.

The Oldman now calling himself Divine Insight took a step forward."Let you show you the way to the truth.""The Goal Of Life Is Death""."He said as his hand shun brightly in gold punching to the general.

*Shhh*!!!

*Boom*!!!

The undead general responded with his hammer clashing with the old man's fist, it created a loud and powerful Shockwave that blew away the surrounding buildings and dust leaving them in a wide open area and killing many of the undead around.

."Hehehehe YES HUMAN, GIVE ME MORE!!!."The undead general opened his bone mouth with a grin, he raised his hammer swinging horizontally.

*Whooshh*!!!!

Divy ducked dodging it, he swiftly placed his hand on the general's chest burning it with the golden light, the general grunted and was surprised."Huh, is that..pain... heh..heheheheHAHAHAHAA. YES THAT'S IT!!!."He shouted in greater excitement, he gathered his magic into his hammer, he swung way faster than before.

*Whooshhh*

*Booom*!!!

.""Agghhh!"".

Divy tried to dodge but was too slow this time, he was hit square in his chest knocking the wind out of him and making his cough blood, he held his chest on the ground.

."Come on get up, you don't want to disappoint your people, you sacrificed your life for theirs, wanting to die honorably."The General said walking to him with his hammer on his shoulder.

As he got closer Divy on the ground eyes flashed, he disappeared appearing back on his feet, he put his gold energy on his feet and kicked the general's chin.

*Boom*!!!!

The general's head merely lifted in the air but he wasn't sent flying, that was because he was tightly gripping his war hammer, it is heavier than one might think.

*Boom*!!!

The General didn't even looked he kicked out hitting Divy Square in his chest the exact place once again.

.""Agh *cough* Agg*puke blood*"".

Divy was truly hit hard this time, he couldn't just play it off like before, he was full of internal damage, his face paled more and the deathly aura around his fragile body strengthen.

."Come on now, that is nothing, I didn't even hit you hard, is that all it takes to bring you do..w..*haa*."The Undead General's green lights pointed like needles, he slowly brought his hand to his bone face and felt for his jaw that was no longer there, it had turned to dust on the ground.

.""Hahaha"".

Divy laughed with a joyful radiance."I've never felt more alive, this is the greatest day of my life, I've managed to badly injure a being of your level, I can die in piece now."He said with a satisfactory smiled, on his face as he closed his eyes, he knows what's next.

The Undead general's eyes flashed bright was a monstrous look of rage, he life his hammer and swung.

.'My disciple, I hope this was enough to buy time for you to escape, goodbye..'.

*Splatter*!!!

Divy instantly died like a bug, it seems he knew it too, that the undead general was merely playing around with him for fun.

Divy's body turned to a liquidy mess of mist as even his bones were pulverized, he never stood a chance, not one from beginning to end.

."How dare you interrupt my speech."The undead general spoke without his jaw, he touched where it was with a feeling of lost, his creator gave that to him.

Far away from the Aarav state the now 10 Great Magicians were heading back to the Magic Council head quarters for evacuation as suggested by Divy.

Aoimi who was leading the group suddenly trembled as her heart skipped a beat, she didn't make a sound but tears silently rolled down her eyes, she could feel something went wrong.

She clenched her teeth and bared it in silence, she was the leader of the Magic Council, she has a duty to fulfill.

~~~

Back over in the underworld, Haile was back in his room after the little get together in their now Main Alliance Hall, he had a smile on his face as he rubbed his hand together looking like he was plotting something.

Sona sighed rubbing her temples."Haile, you really messed up big time, or is this all apart of your grand Master plan, now we will be in the middle of a war."She asked him with a voice that said she gave up.

."Heh yes I destroyed them and blamed it on the Hindu, when they start fighting for real it will inevitably affect the other mythologies and the people who worship them, by then they will have no choice but to try to stop this, but what if more than one Pantheon starts fighting amongst each other, Chaos."Haile said casually as he rubbed his chin.

Everyone looked at him like he was going crazy, Aika chuckled."You really planned it out huh, if just two Pantheon are fighting then when the other's try to stop it, they can choose one side bringing the other to ruin, effectively stopping the war, but if they are multiple different fights taking place, no one will know where to turn, truly, an evil genius."She said touching her own glasses.

Now everyone except Guhna and Xenovia was looking at Aika a bit strange, Tiamat looked impressed."The Pervert is actually quite smart it seems like, I guess I have to rethink my opinion of you."She said genuinely.

Aika had a tic on her forehead."What is that suppose to mean, I was always smart can't you see the glasses."She said puffing up her chest with pride.

."Hahaha alright now don't start a fight, so anyway who wants to go with me to visit India, just to have a look, only 3 Koneko not included."Haile asked them, he looked around as he pat Koneko's head.

."Me me I want to see."Aika raised her hand in the air, she was very interested in going to look at the destruction.

Akeno of course without question wanted to go."I want to try my curse magic on something moving, I think it will be fun."She said licking her finger as lightning sparked in her eyes.

Rias shook her head."I'd rather not, plus me, Sona and Tsubaki had already made plans, we will be thinking up some ideas for our Efficient World Domination Scheme."She said excitedly, though she would not admit it, it was really fun.

."World domination Scheme, you even came up with a name for it, I guess you all can have fun with that."Haile said with a pleased smile, he's glad their working so hard to help him, he watch them leave.

Tiamat got up."I want to go, very much so, but I haven't had a good sleep in a long time, infact I haven't been awake this long in an equally long time, so I'll be going back to my mountain till you're ready for me."She said teleporting away.

Now the only ones free to choose from were Hera, Melody, Nalisa, Serafall, Xenovia and Guhna, out of them Guhna was the most eager but she did not want to seem clingy.

She had an exact dream about that, she was too clingy to her beloved master and out of everyone he got tired of her first, she did not want that to happen to her for real.

."Are you sad about something Guhna, come tell me about it."Haile said surprisingly seeing Guhna not wanting to go with him.

Guhna went over to him, she put her head on his chest and hugged him."Master since I came back I just felt like there is a distance between us, I just feel like, if I cling to you too much you will become annoyed with me."She said softly wiping her eyes with his shirt.

."Distance, maybe because you have been away for 5 years you feel that I may feel that way but don't forget, for me it was only a few days since I last saw you, don't cry, I would never say such a thing to you."Haile said gently kissing her lips tenderly, he didn't used tongue or anything, he just allowed it to remain pure.

Melody licked her lips involuntarily as they began to feel dry, Serafall looked at this scene almost drooling, she wished it was Sona kissing him, then he asked her to join in..

Hera look to have pouted slightly before she realized what she did and made her face straight again.

Xenovia just watch everything naturally play out, she didn't even raise a brow, but on the inside, she was a wet sloppy mess, with countless imaginary children with Haile.

Nalisa on the other hand had a more innocent heart, she just wished it was her, not to take away from Guhna just for her to feel what it's like to be loved, she never had a boyfriend before, or even just a sextual partner.

.""~Mmm~""

After kissing her face a while Haile rubbed her cheeks gently with his finger."Are you feeling better now?."He asked her just as gentle and tender as he could become.

."Mm..."Guhna nodded with a hum of acknowledgement, her eyes dreamy, she forgot all about why she was worried in the first place, all the lost time of 5 years was instantly made up for in this single moment.

Haile looked at the other's in thought."Man whatever, all 9 of you can just come with me, it's not a big deal, though we may run into a few Gods on the way, *sigh*."He said casually, he was just trying to avoid as many unnecessary problems as possible.

The ones going with him now were Hera, Melody, Nalisa, Serafall, Xenovia, Guhna, Koneko, Aika and Akeno.

."Darling Haile do you think they will be any magical girl skeleton's Mm Mm Mm."Serafall asked as she ran small circles around Haile in over energized happiness.

Haile raised an eyebrow."How would I know, not like Hades will just send out skeleton with magic girl costumes on...probably, Mm would he?."He asked, now curious in the matter, he looked to Hera who knew him best.

."No, he is to serious, though he does have a strange fetish for overly large breast, I don't know what that's all about, he can't even do the deed, being dead and all."Hera said calmly as she shrugged.

Haile smiled with a nod."He seems like an intelligent man of wisdom, having a liking for the great breast is not a fetish, that is a natural, indigenous to the male mind."He said with sagely words of wisdom.

."So basically all men are perverts at heart is what you're saying darling."Aika said looking smug at him.

Haile's smile freezed."*Ahem* how could those two things be compared, it is simply an admiration for the exquisite sacred geometry of the universe."He said with his hands behind his back turning away from them.

."Sacred geometry, what is that suppose to mean master???."Nalisa asked, she couldn't hide her curiosity, she had never heard that term before, she was a seeker of magic knowledge.

Haile looked at her with a tilt of his head."You've never heard of sacred geometry, well I'm sure one of the other's will volunteer to hel-."He said looking at the other's pausing.

They all had embarrassed faces except Koneko who as usual wasn't easily flustered, even though she also doesn't know what it means.

."You all can't be serious, most of you have been in school for years and one of you is a goddess from birth the rest of you at some point had access to huge amounts of information."Haile said not believing what he is seeing, that is something everyone should know, he looked at Melody.

Melody looked away."I'm sorry I just never cared about things like that, I had bigger fish to fry and I only had a small pan."She said explaining her.

."*Sigh* I see, Hera I'm disappointed in you the most, you were a literal Goddess, but it seems you were spoiled, but worry not, I will rectify this problem, take a seat."Haile said feeling happy to be able to explain, even though he was complaining.

Aika smiled at this, she could see the eagerness in his eyes.

.""So *ahem* Sacred Geometry is in a sense, the correlation between, Patterns, Matter or Atoms or energy if you want to call it that and vibration and frequencies, everything in existence has its own unique vibration or frequency that keeps its form together"".

.""Example, if I were to tune your body's frequency to match mine, you would look like me, or an example about how it works, is Invisibility ability, you were to go invisible, as I said before everything has its own unique vibration, so the reason i can't see you is because I do not know the vibration of your Invisibility spell of what's not, or do not possess a vibration high enough to override it completely, which can happen if I am way stronger than you, understand?"".

.""Umm"".

Some of the girls looked pretty confused and lost, Serafall was just about ready to pass out, the only ones who seemed to understand a bit were Aika, Hera and Xenovia.

."Lord God, I actually think I heard something like that when I was at the church, though I was only interested in the sword so I kinda blocked it out."Xenovia said now regretting it a bit.

Hera nodded."Me too kinda, I was talking to a ruin master one time about a weapon and he was boring me going on and on about runes, I imprisoned the bastard in the Crescent, he's probably still talking to this day and probably still alive."She said getting irritated just thinking about it, he went on for hours.

.""*Sigh* that was pretty stupid on your part, that is valuable information but yes runes are a fine example, to make a rune you need to understand sacred geometry, pattern geometry, every pattern has its unique vibration, that's why it so hard to create magic runes with specific functions"".

.""Say you were trying to create a fire ball Rune, it's patter was an upside down triangle with a stripe in the middle, to make this Rune work, everything must be perfect or it automatically fails, so the stripe in the middle must be a certain size and everything"".

.""Say it was represented by Hertz, 100 Hz, if the stripe is a little to long it will go to 101 hz and it fails, if it is a little to short it will go to 99 and it failed again, it has to be exact to reach 100 the frequency of a fireball"".

.""Ohh"".

They were starting to realize, Hera was stunned."So the transformation magic, you are basically unknowingly matching the frequency of the thing you are transforming into, like duplication, to duplicate yourself take some of your energy separate it from yourself then match that vibration to the vibration of your physical body to make a copy of yourself."She was actually amazed by that.

."Yes now your getting it, it is exactly like that, it is what I did to create Melody's new body, though I kinda cheated, I don't know her body's frequency so I just commanded the material to vibration in the frequency of her original body."Haile said rubbing his chin, they were all smart women, he knew they would catch on fast.

Akeno rubbed her hands together with a nefarious smile."So Darling, how does one go about finding the frequent of something."She said staring at him.

."Hey, you're moving a little to fast, but to answer your question, there is none, every frequency is unique so it cannot be felt in the same way each time, though in existence they are some born fortunate enough to have unique abilities to without knowing vibration or anything to instantly copy someone's appearance, abilities, voice, etc."Haile said thinking of a few right at the top of his head.

Before they can ask questions he stopped them."We can discuss this another time, that is enough lesson for the day, let's be on your way to India."He said getting up stretching a bit.

Though they were disappointed they nodded, Hera was the most."I can't believe I lock that man in prison for trying to educate me, Maybe I should pay a visit, he must be crazy by now."She said feeling sorry now.

."Well maybe another time, let's Go."Haile said casually creating a teleportation circle under all of them disappearing.

*Afternoon*

*Shhh*!!!

Haile and his girls appeared in a random place in India, they all looked around."Hm it's dark, smoke and ash huh."Hera said as she looked up at the sky's.

*Crunch*

."Hey look at the ground, are all of these bones, some looks to be pure bone probably from the undead and others still has a bit of flesh on them."Akeno said curious as she pick one of them up, it looked to be the hand bone of a child, it was so clean.

Nalisa looked uncomfortable, she felt bad for the little children, they were so small and innocent and knew no wrong.
