Chapter 78

I don't want to fight anymore. It's hell and I'm no fighter.

They beat me and I have scars on my back from when they whipped me when I refused to fight anymore.

I hate it so much. 

My baby!!! Has anyone seen my baby boy??!!

MAMA!!! MAMA, PLEASE WAKE UP!!!

I lost everything: My home, my wife and my family.

He….he died right in front of me and I couldn't do anything about it.

Enough, Arya thought, I saw and heard enough devastation already. It's time to put an end to that.

After stepping through the portal, Arya found that everyone was waiting for her.

She took a look at her new surroundings.

They appeared to be in a forest that looked dead and lifeless in winter with bare trees that looked like skeletons and white snow that coated the grounds and everything in sight like powdered sugar.

It was eerie and quiet and Arya couldn't see anything with this thick and heavy snowfall that only added to the gloominess.

Then she saw something moving in the heavy snow. Not something but a whole rainfall of arrows coming down at them.

"WATCH OUT!!"

Arya unsheathed one of her swords and a bright green aura covered it as she channeled her aura into it.

She unleashed the aura and manipulated it into a glowing green arc of pure power that sliced through the arrows and cut them in half. The arrows fell down onto the ground and crisis averted.

The attackers showed themselves.

Werewolves. Goblins. Demons. Strange and ugly monsters that looked like monstrous hybrids of normal animals.

And leading them as their commander was Kakia, that demon bitch herself.

The armies faced off against each other. 

The sounds of fighting and war filled the air.

The pink haired girl was busy punching and kicking away at the monsters that came at her, landing blow after blow, her kicks powerful and strong. One by one, the freakish-looking humanoid zombie beasts were sent flying into the air, blasted away from her by her raw strength.

A boy with whitish-blonde hair was busy fighting three opponents at once. One of the opponents attacked him, hand balled into a fist, punching at the boy's head, but in a blink of an eye, he vanished into thin air and appeared behind it, sword in hand ready and cut off its head. The other two humanoid monsters looked scared and worried.

He vanished in a blink of an eye and cut off the head of the second monster.

The last one sensed him coming and was able to dodge the blade just in time. It launched into a counterattack, throwing punch after punch at the boy, but the boy was too fast for it, a blur of black and white as he teleported behind the monster to catch it off guard. He cut off its rotting head with just one swing of his sword. 

Ezekiel summoned bolts of lightning that came falling down from the ceiling on his opponents. The bolts of bluish-white lightning flickered and crackled as they fell down from above. A flash of light and three centipeetle-humanoid monsters were roasted badly by being caught directly in the bolt. The other six were quick enough to avoid the powerful bolts of lightning. 

Ezekiel was ready for that.

He summoned all his lightning and condensed it into a small ball in his hands. He then unleashed all the power he condensed. A small explosion of lightning took place, waves of that bluish-white lightning exploded and went flying in every direction in a 20 feet radius around the Crown Prince. The whole ordeal only took a matter of seconds. Arya could feel the power all the way over on the other side of the battlefield. The powerful wave of lightning burned the ground and reduced the nearby trees to splinters of wood and ashes. The burning smell assaulted Arya's nose as the smell of burning bodies of centipede-humanoid monsters and other monsters hit her.

Ezekiel made sure that only the monsters and the memories he targeted would get burned by the electricity.

…

Kakia laughed and snarled when she spotted Arya.

She threw a finger across her throat as a threat.

Arya returned the gesture by giving Kakia her nastiest glare she could muster.

Kakia attacked first by throwing a spear at Arya but Arya stopped it with her telekinesis.

She then turned the spear on Kakia by throwing it back at her.

Kakia dodged and the spear lodged itself in a tree behind her inside.

Kakia came flying at her, preparing to do a flying kick that would have hit her in her face, but Arya caught her by the neck, green light wrapping around her neck.

Arya then slammed her into the ground with her telekinetic powers so hard that the ground shattered and cracked.

Kakia coughed up blood as the full impact of the slam raced through her body.

But she was prepared for that.

She could take the abuse.

Her leg shot up and her foot caught Arya in the stomach. Kakia kicked Arya away from her as she got right back into her feet.

Arya unsheathed her swords just as Kakia aimed a punch at her face.

Arya blocked the blow with the blade of one of her swords and the sound of metal clashing together rang through the air.

Kakia had turned the skin of her hands into metal so it was like she was wearing a pair of gauntlets.

The two traded blows, Kakia punched and punched away while Arya blocked and parried the blows with her twin swords.

How was she taking on her swords with just her bare hands? Her hands must really have been turned into metal.

Kakia growled in frustration and slashed down at her with her glowing red claws. Arya dodged in time but she heard a loud thud and crash behind her.

Arya risked a peek behind her knowing that she was leaving herself vulnerable to Kakia.

An entire row of trees had been sliced in half as if they were cut down with aura.

Wait…Arya dodged and nimbley avoided the attempts Kakia made to claw her to shreds as she observed her claws emitting a red glow.

So was she using aura through her hands and not a weapon? Clever.

Two could play at that game.

Arya dodged the next slash and then brought her left sword down on Kakia's right arm.

The aura coating the blade made cutting it off even easier.

Her arm hit the ground cleanly and quickly with a soft thud and Kakia screamed and cursed.

"MY ARM!! YOU BITCH!!"

She used her remaining arm to slash at Arya.

She was so quick and fast that Arya almost didn't dodge in time.

The slash which would have allowed her claws to rip through her throat and killed her instead left a small cut on the side of her neck.

Arya repaid the favor by slicing off Kakia's head with one of her aura-coated swords.

As her head hit the ground along with her body, Arya pressed a hand to the cut and felt it healing on its own.

But the headless body of Kakia started to twitch and move, her head slowly reattaching itself to her body as she was being resurrected.

A huge pillar of fire erupted under the demoness and burnt her body to ashes in seconds.

Arya turned around to see Kanan panting and sweating from a distance.

He was the one who burned the body of the demoness and prevented her from resurrecting.

Arya smiled to thank him and he smiled back.

The sound of fire burning and lightning crackling told her that the monsters and beasts were being prevented from being resurrected as their bodies were completely destroyed.

….

"My king, those humans are coming, the scouts have reported that they have already mostly defeated-"

The werewolf soldier told the king the bad news but the king looked surprisingly calm and relaxed after being told that his soldiers were on the edge of being defeated. But he had a blank look in his eyes and he seemed lifeless and empty. All of the soldiers had this look as they were under the full control of the king.

He smiled.

"Let them come to me. I have more surprises waiting in store for them as they come for me.They know they need to kill me in order to bring an end to this war. As long as I'm alive, my army is immortal. "
