Chapter 5: When All Hell Breaks Loose

Sero and the other adventurers were still shocked by shining figure in the air calling out to the dragon, calling him a so called god.

Suddenly, the dragon started to shift and morph. Its wings retracted, its arms and legs becoming more like a human's, shrinking in body size, and the head becoming more human-like until the dragon transformed into a person. However, this human was now in completely black armor with black wings coming out from the back, although they likely weren't needed as they didn't flap. This was because the man in the dark armor was also levitating, just like the figure in shining armor. The black knight lifted its huge sword, pointing the tip at the figure in white.

"You? A mere pawn? You do not have the power to destroy me. You are no better than your pathetic creator, who merely escaped my grasp due to luck and is now too cowardly to face me," it said.

"Do not speak of the father in such a way with that filthy, disgusting mouth of yours. It was you who ran away when the father came back to fight you," the angelic entity said.

Suddenly, a bolt of bright yellow light came crashing down. The demonic figure barely managed to dodge the beam. However, because of that, the beam headed straight down to where the humans were. It was so fast that Sero and the other adventurers did not know what had happened until the beam hit a group of adventurers, who barely had any time to react before being vaporized to, well nothing.

"Huh? What's going on?" Sero asked. He then noticed the place where the beam had hit and took him and everyone else a couple of moments to process. Then, all hell broke loose from its shackles.

People were screaming and running away as the two figures above fought each other, bring more and more stray attacks towards them.

"Why are they attacking us as well?!" Domfan cried out, desperately trying to run away from the battle.

"Think of running away first before questioning!" Ellie shouted back at him while trying to dodge the incoming attacks.

Suddenly, they spotted even more figures descending from the sky, all in the same armor as the one fight the dark one.

"So, you brought reinforcements to try and win against me? How naive of you to think that so little of you all could defeat a mighty entity like me!" it shouted as it fought.

"Oh, they will be more coming. Also, these knights aren't just for you," the armored knight replied.

"What do they mean by that?" Sero asked out loud.

One of the knights in the air suddenly came down from the sky and stood in front of their way. The others joined and stood in front of all the exits that where in the town. These figures seemed small as they were high up in the sky, however when they came down and blocked the people trying to escape, they notice how ginormous the knights actually were. These figures were at least 18 feet in length and 9 feet in width.

One of the adventurers said to one of the knights, "Hey, move out of the way! Can't you see we're trying to esca-?!"

The man's head rolled right out from his neck just before he was able to finish that sentence. The armored figure drew back his weapon, which was now covered in the man's blood.

The crowd of people around instinctively backed away, as they did not want their heads to be chopped off in mere seconds.

Finally, the knight said, "This is an direct order from the father; he has ordered us to take you weak and disgusting humans as our slaves and worshippers. He said that you disgraceful humans have been consumed too much by sin and therefore cannot be saved, so we are to use you until you either die or used in some other way. If you are wondering about what is happening to other humans that are not here, do not worry as they will soon meet the same fate as you."

Of course, this took a couple of moments for the townspeople and the adventurers to process, however when the words got through their brains, well, they broke. Of course there was people crying and those trying to defy by attacking the guards to try and escaping, however it was all in vain as they were instantly killed.

Sero tried to escape and find the others, sneaking away from the crowd and trying to regroup with his friends. He entered the alley (damn these guards are powerful but shit at their job XD) and tried to find his party members, however it seemed like other people were thinking the same, as he saw other townspeople and adventurers trying to escape. Sero started to look everywhere, ignoring the fact that there were those gigantic guards everywhere that could likely wipe him out in an instant. As he was running, he suddenly saw something from the corner of his eye; a black figure with a black aura just staring at him. It also seemed like it was...glitching? Sero quickly turned back to see who that mysterious entity was, however the entity had already disappeared. He then heard a loud boom, indicating that he probably needed to find his friends quickly and come up with a plan to escape. He kept on sprinting until someone else collided with him head-on.

"What the?!" a familiar voice called out.

"Domfan!" Sero exclaimed. "Finally I found you! But where is Ellie?"

"I don't know man, I was escaping with her until suddenly a loud boom happened and when I turned back, Ellie was gone," Domfan explained to Sero. "Damn it, I should've been behind her instead of in front, or else I wouldn't have lost her!"

"It's alright, we can look for her together now. Two pairs of eyes is better than one, right?" Sero assured Domfan.

"Alright, but what about the others? Fragmo and Alegriso wouldn't have made it so far, especially with Amayako critically injured," Domfan asked worriedly, which Sero rarely saw.

"Don't worry, they're likely far from here. We'll group up after finding Ellie and try to escape these so called 'angels','" Sero told him.

"Alright, lets go then," Domfan said.

They did not even take one step before they noticed the terrifying and familiar gigantic build of the white armored entity as it drew its shiny great sword from its sheath.
