50. Aftermath 3

A huge explosion was the latest memory the Hyuman commander remembers as he feels pain all over his body, but what he and the other survivors won't forget is the lady with giant purple limbs and two palms holding her up in the air as she casually swung her sword downwards.

" Hahahahahaha! Perhaps this is how we are being punished for our foolishness. I hope this will bring changes after a long time of corruption that has been seeping in our hearts."

At the fortress stela the demons are recovering and reorganizing as they also have an explosion happened on their side as well, a demon soldier with two horns on his forehead took down a demon who is clearly under the effects of Tomoki's Charm and Lona the Tactician killed the other one who blatantly declared that their Demon King should also serve his Tomoki-sama.

She told the soldier that they are dispelling the hero's charm though it was done slowly.

Then she approached the huge charcoal colored egg and kicked it, " Hey, wake up!" then the black egg cracked and the skinless face of Io appears but it was regenerating steadily as more black shells are being removed from him.

Io says " ... She really did it huh... Navarre was it? I'll remember her name."

" I know it would take more to kill you but on the other hand, our attack on Limia has failed."

Lona's words shocked Io as he says " Even with that monster accompanying them?"

Lona nods and says to Io " That Goddess made a desperate but a foolish move, and the one she sent took advantage of it and announced that she represents a Third faction. This will changes my future plans and strategies Io, I hate to admit it but his Majesty will not and cannot have a direct confrontation against that Raiden Shogun."

Io looks down and mutters, " I hope we won't need to fight that Third faction."

" You got that right, we lack information about them and we'll be stretched thin if we foolishly fight them while there's still Gritonia and Limia with their heroes still alive and will become more of a threat in the future. I will urge His Majesty to have at least a friendly relationship with the Raiden Shogun, it was clear from her speech earlier that she's annoyed with the Goddess."

Lona sighs then look up to the sky.

Back in Inazuma, the people were celebrating as their Lord announced their existence to the world and more importantly they are fully acknowledged as one faction or nation to others. Their Lord's words still ring in their ears and her form and the way she stares at her enemies gives them shivers of excitement especially to the Inazumans who are hardcore fans of the Almighty Raiden Shogun. There are even some of them commissioned painters to paint Raiden Shogun's portrait and sculptors to make her sculpture and place it on the center of their village, while the members of the Grand Narukami Shrine are happy that more people are entering the shrine to give their prayers to the Narukami Ogosho.

All in all, a huge merrymaking happened throughout Inazuma.
