The Raid End
On the balcony at the keep of the black castle, the only remaining base of the Old Satan faction in the Underworld, Shalba Beelzebub was still in denial as he muttered to himself in the air like an insane person without paying attention to the current situation, while Creuserey Asmodeus looked down at the unknown force that was currently charging towards the castle with a horrified expression.
"Tsk...!"
Creuserey quickly came back to his senses and then immediately cast an attack spell with the intent of halting the unknown force's advance, but his six magic circles that just materialized in the air suddenly went out of his control because the anti-magic missiles' mana disruption effect was still in the astrosphere, resulting in a very powerful explosion that sent him flying through multiple walls of the keep until his body finally stuck to the wall inside of the castle's library before he slid down the floor in a sitting position as he leaning on his back against the wall with a dumbfounded expression.
"Uuahhh..."
Creuserey, who suffered a third-degree burn on his exposed skin and a concussion, moans out weakly without moving a muscle, as he was too shocked and doesn't quite understand what just happened to him. His ears were ringing constantly, and his sight was blurry, with traces of red in his field of vision.
"What just..."
He was so bewildered by the sudden turn of events that he didn't even feel the burning pain on his skin or where he was.
He guessed that the enemy might have caused Shalba to not be able to use his clan magic, but he was not expecting that normal magic would also be affected, and he was paying the price for it now.
"Impossible..."
÷×÷×÷
"Damn it all!!"
Back to Shalba, who suddenly screamed out in anger after he was startled out of his denial of the reality state by the loud explosion nearby. He doesn't even care about Creusere's well-being as he turns his bloodshot eyes towards the Liberty force.
"It must be them...!"
He grinds his teeth while he watches with hate as the God-Raiders pull back from the front after demolishing the walls with missile salvos and letting the God-Takers from behind come forward to clear the path inside the castle grounds.
The GTs then speed up to Mach 4 as they charge at what remains of the castle's walls with their battering rams and dozer blades that are cutting through the air, making sharp whistle noises.
And then, just like a car going through a piles of cardboard box, the GTs bulldozed through the rumble and piles of rocks with ease before they crashed into any devil guards who were unfortunately enough to be present in their paths as the GTs sent those devils flying in the air with broken bones and twisted limbs.
After bulldozing through the rumble and devils to clear a path to the castle grounds, all of the GTs then immediately screeched to halt, not even giving the devils any time to react since the turrets on top of all the vehicles immediately opened fire to the devil guards, who were still stunned by the series of events.
"Arghhhh?!"
"Take cover...!"
The devils were screaming in confusion and panic as the white beams from the turrets of the GTs shot out like a machine gun at all the visible devil guards in the castle grounds, ripping and popping their bodies and limbs apart while they ran for cover or inside the buildings.
"What the fuc...?!"
"Guahhh...!!"
Some devil guards that try to fight back also find themselves ending up like Creuserey as their magic circles explode, much to their confusion and horror. Some of the devils also ended up killing themselves with the powerful spell that they were casting.
"Hahahaha!"
"Crush all of them!"
Then the situation turned from bad to worse for the devils as the GRs finally caught up as the devils could see Zeno and his girls leading the riders inside the castle grounds, passing the GTs with their energy blades on the sides of the front wheel already activated with the intent to run anyone over.
"Ahhhh?!"
"Shit! Run-guaargak?!"
The GTs immediately started wracking havoc as they drove through the walls, obstacles, and devils alike, their lethal energy blades cutting through the fleeting devils legs and torsos with no visible resistance, causing them to become even more disorganized.
Meanwhile, inside one of the GTs, 50 Geborgs were lined up neatly inside the enlarged passenger space as they awaited the signal to disembark from the vehicle silently while the gunner was busy shooting all of the devils outside.
"Move! Move! Move!"
Then, finally, the light at the back entrance suddenly turned red with a loud siren sound before the Adamantium door opened up as the Geborgs quickly disembarked from the GTs to the outside as they searched for targets to shoot at while separating into ten teams with five units each before they started the search and destroy mission that was assigned to them.
The carnage intensified as the Geborgs joined on the battlefield, and the devils became helpless since no one was so physically strong amongst them that they could put up a fight against the Geborgs, who have the combat capability of the high-class devil at the minimum.
÷×÷×÷
"Fucking useless...!"
Seeing the chaos raging below him, Shalba was lost as to what to do. The situation seems lost as the devil guards can't even put up a fight before they get killed left and right by the deadly white beams, or something worse, such as one of the devil guards who is currently getting pushed against the wall by the front wheel of the GT as the spinning wheel, tearing off his face's skin.
"Wait, that one...!"
Shalba then finally noticed something particular as he saw one of the unknown force's riders, who was currently brutalizing his victim against the wall with the warbike's wheel.
The rider was unique as he was a tall and muscular man in a bodysuit with a red cape and a golden helmet, clearly different from others, possibly a high-position individual.
With a cruel smirk, Shalba then immediately flew toward that man, not knowing that it would be the worst decision of his life.
÷×÷×÷
After crushing the unfortunate devil's skull against the wall, Zeno is driving his warbike at one of the escaping devils and cutting through his legs at the knees with the energy blades, and then he makes a u-turn as he mercilessly runs the down devil over, crushing him beneath the wheels.
Then he gripped on the break as the GR screeched to halt before he took a look around him, as most of the devils outside were already dead.
"Be careful, Zeno-san! Someone is heading toward you!"
Suddenly, Himiko cried out with some worry as she warned him through the comlink as she saw Shalba flying toward him while he reached out his hand with the intention of grabbing Zeno from his warbike.
"Don't worry, I already noticed him."
Zeno was still not showing any concern, as he reassured Himiko softly while turning his head to look at the descendant of the original Satan, who was making quite a predatory expression as he almost reached Zeno.
"Dream on~"
Zeno said playfully with a smirk, and then a white pillar-like beam suddenly slammed on Shalba's side from the sky as he was propelling by the beam to the building nearby and crashed into it while howling in pain from the unexpected attack.
"Arghhhhhh!!"
The beam is very powerful, as Shalba feels his skin burn, his blood boil, and his bones crack from the impact while being pushed deeper and deeper into the ground by the white beam as the building and area around him explode into a cloud of dust.
At the other end of the beam up in the sky, White Dream could be seen aiming and shooting her large white sniper rifle at Shalba until the beam began to shrink and fade away.
The shot just now was the two-minute charging attack, as the beam is 1200% more powerful than the normal shot. Its power was comparable to that of a peak Ultimate-class' serious attack, which Shalba who was weakened from the anti-magic effect just experienced firsthand.
"Nice shot, girl."
Zeno chuckled as he looked up at White Dream in the sky with pride before reaching out his right hand in the direction of the building Shalba was crashing into and casting a powerful gush of wind from Touki magic to clear up the dust, revealing a deep crater in the middle of the destroyed building with the burned and heavily injured Shalba who lost the lower half of his body at the bottom of the crater for all to see.
"Too bad, there's no epic fight for you..."
Zeno muttered with amusement as he got off his GT and walked to the crater while thinking that this raid was about to end soon.
Zeno jumped down to the bottom of the crater, where Shalba was lying half dead below, before he looked down at the miserable form of the original Satan descendant breathing weakly on the ground with indifference.
He then leaning down to grab Shalba's neck and lifting his body up from the ground as he stared into Shalba's almost lifeless eyes with his unreadable white symbiote eyes.
"Do you fear death, mister Beelzebub?"
He asked the half-dead devil with his deep, distorted voice as he tightened the grip on the devil's neck. Shalba's face is beginning to turn anguish and desperate, as he doesn't want to die. He still needs to restore the old glory of the original Satans and exterminate all the traitors! How can he die by the hand of some nobody?!
"It seems you are, but well, too bad."
Zeno whispers with a smirk before his hand that was choking on Shalba's neck, morphing into a Symbiote head and quickly swallowing his entire body whole while he has not even realized what is happening to him.
"Crispy..."
Zeno muttered as he then flew up from the crater while White Dream rejoiced him once more.
"Alright people, let's clean up and leave quickly!"
He commands in the main channel through the comlink as the other also replied back in affirmative.
÷×÷×÷
Meanwhile, Noa, who was searching for some devil to fight inside the keep, is currently strolling down the hallway with only a lightsaber in her right hand, along with five Geborgs following behind her.
(AN: Noa is the clone of Raynare. )
"There is no any devil around. Should I head back...?"
Noa mumbles to herself, annoyed, as she seems to be wasting time searching for someone to fight in the keep that should have had a lot of guards but no sight of any for a while now.
Maybe they are all dead outside... Noa thought while kicking on some kind of gold decoration that was lying around.
"Hm?"
Then Noa noticed a man who seemed to be quite injured limping out from the intersection down the hallway. The man was Creuserey in tattered and burned clothes, with some burning wounds on his face.
"That guy looks familiar..."
Noa tilted her head as she tried to recall where she had seen this man before, while Creuserey also noticed them as he made a distorted face with anger in his eyes. He then quickly rose his arm as he wanted to cast a spell to attack them by instinct, but he remembered what just happened to him and stopped himself in time.
"Tsk...!"
He clicked his tongue with an unpleasant feeling in his chest; he never felt this powerless in his life.
"Oh! It's that Asmoduchy guy!"
Noa finally remembered where she had seen him before and smirked as she quickly walked towards him menacingly with the Geborgs while she activated her lightsaber as the red energy blade humming to life.
"Well, now what do we have here?"
She said to the bitter Creuserey as he started to take a step back from the approach group since he was really in a bad spot right now with little power to actually resist.
"Tsk! You think you-guha?!"
When he was about to speak his villain line to buy himself some time, Noa, who doesn't even bother to listen to his nonsense, already disappeared from her place with great speed before she reappear in front of him with her foot digging in his stomach and sending him flying against the wall.
"Ugh!"
Creuserey slammed his head and back against the wall as he flopped down on the floor with pain and a concussion.
"Damn... you...!"
Creuserey is weakly cursed out with difficulty as he tries to get up from the floor. He was both angry and humiliated by his predicament.
"You talking a lot, aren't you?"
Noa said with a bored tone before she shoved Creuserey's head against the wall with her foot violently, causing him to almost lose consciousness, and then she stomped on his chest with the same foot, or more precisely, she stomped on his rims, breaking three of them in the process.
"Arghhhhh...!!"
Creuserey was screaming in pain at the broken rims, and before he could do anything more, Noa suddenly backed off from him as she moved away. He weakly looked up at her with anger and was about to insult the woman in front of him for such a humiliation as a last act of defiance, but Noa paid him no mind as she turned her head towards the Geborgs behind her.
"Bring him along."
"Yes, ma'am!"
The Geborgs give her a salute in unison, and then two of them walk toward glaring Creuserey before one of them knocks him out with the butt of a Lasgun to the face.
