Watching the destructive light clear, I studied the new valley before me as various explosions sounded from the ground. Debris of dust and smoke clouded the air like a miasma forming multiple mushroom shape clouds. The last three explosions were not as deadly as the first, but they did the job perfectly.
"Send in the airships. Kamikaze when we run out of ammo or take too much damage," I yelled as ten ships covered the air space above my head. A ruthless gleam filled my gaze as I watched hundreds of enemy soldiers rush out of the rubble, screaming their war cries. Some were missing arms and legs, while others had bones protruding from their bodies as they howled for their god... for the whore they call Ashna.
With a cold sneer, Lilith spoke out, "Fire, what the hell are you all waiting for?" she bellowed as my ships suddenly opened fire on the ground below. Raining down beams of death endlessly.
"Keep firing; we will keep this up for a day," I yelled, knowing that there was more to this. Ashna herself had made an appearance. She must have something up her sleeve.
The forest of Domo was all but covered in ash and dust as my ships rained hell fires upon the land of Ashna, but one thing that had me worried was Grey. Ever since he arrived, I had not heard a whisper of their battle.
"Eroma, do you know anything?" I asked aloud as he appeared in a flash of light.
"No...but Arsene, did you really do it?" He questioned with sadden eyes.
Giving him a side glance, I sighed, "Why ask the obvious, Eroma. I am now an enemy of Asterion. I decimated their capital."
Clenching his fist, Eroma released a hollow chuckled, "You really are a bastard...You have a few hours, Arsene. After that, they will come, Romga, Godwin, and Asterion. All of them will be out for blood. Congratulations, you may have just ended this war."
"Are you ready?" I suddenly asked as Lilith turned to Eroma. A hint of annoyance and heartbreak could be seen as she patted his head.
"Return to the Snows. I have given all of you a one-in-a-million chance. Learn as much as you can within the Celestrial palace. Time moves differently there, so forget or remember it's up to you, but always understand this was bound to happen whether Arsene did it or the Holy Legion. Once you ascend, you will understand or maybe not. It's up to you.
With a slight nod, Lilith and I shot towards the decimated valley, the ringing of death echoing throughout our ears as screams of anguish and hate filled our minds. I could see a man around my age clenching his missing jaw as his flesh began to melt. Blood oozed from his eyes as he fell to the ground muttering for his mother. Yet all that followed was a beam of light piercing through his skull, turning his entire body into a pool of gore.
"So this is war; it's different when we were killing demons, huh?" Lilith questioned to my side.
Looking at hundreds of men and women being turned into a mist of blood or have their limbs rain over the battlefield, I shook my head, "No to me...Whether it's demons or devils. It's all the same. Although humans scream a lot more. "
A reluctant gleam flashed through her Amethyst eyes as she shook her head, "Arsene, do you enjoy killing people?"
Stopping, I turned to Lilith, the sent of sulfur present in the air as I smiled, "I do...An one day, you will be just like me. Together we will bathe in a river of blood. We will make love on a battlefield like this. YOu will scream my name and I yours as we experience every together."
A heavy blush filled Lilith's gaze as she licked her lips, "...so...are we going to do it here?"
"Huh?" I blurted out as she crossed her legs, smiling brightly as she drew closer, playfully biting the tip of my lips as she pulled. "Do you want to do it here?" she repeated.
A slight moan sounded as Lilith glimmered with lust; my dragon was already hard as it quivered against her garden.
With a mischievous gleam, Lilith suddenly laughed as she pushed me away, "Got you," she yelled before rushing off.
"When did she learn that?" I questioned to myself, feeling the dragon roaring for more. "Who is the real succubus here."
Chasing after the girl, we did not engage in combat as most people were preoccupied with dodging the beams of death from my ships or my soldiers. Blood quickly filled the scene as three of my ships suddenly fell from the skies. Their explosions were almost similar to the formation I used to create this decimated valley.
Grabbing Lilith, I created a large shield from my darkness as a destructive shockwave echoed out. Desimateing everything within a five-kilometer radius. Blood oozed from my nose as Lilith gently held my head. A soft emerald light consumed her hands as I felt a comforting sensation mending my vessels.
"This is known as The Elven Force, A powerful qi that the elves use to heal and fight. It's primarily found in royal princesses in Alfheim." Lilith explained as all of my injuries vanished within seconds. "We need to be careful; friendly fire is a real thing on the battlefield."
Pushing up, we continued further before we stopped at a massive underground cellar. Signaling to my hidden guards, we leaped down into what seemed like a laboratory from my past. It was filled with computers and various beakers and another tech, all seemingly operating on their own. I could see over ten scientists frantically typing as they ignored my existence. Their faces filled with fear as they cursed.
"Hurry up! We need to upload these documents. Our base in Greum will continue where we left off." One of them screamed as tears rained down his shirt, "For Ashna."
"For Ashna," they cheered.
So I was not the only one that used people with weak cultivation. I may have to give credit to Ashna, or did such an idea come from someone else.
Summoning Dragonsbane, my arms suddenly flickered as six heads flew high in the air. Filling the entire room with the scent of blood. A terrified hue of crimson light flashed through my eyes as they quivered, "...It's you YOUR THE SOU..."
Not letting him finish, Drgaonsbane plunged through his skull, showering the person behind with brain matter. With a flash of horror, the bloody scientist shivered as he summoned his sword, his arms trembling as he stared me down. Albeit a little too late as my black flames shot deep into his eyes.
"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHH" HE roared as his very being began to age and burn. In a matter of seconds, the young scientist was dead. His body turning into ash that flew away with the wind.
Suddenly bright white flames began to rise from their bodies as they shot deep within me. A heavy heat filled my physique as I moaned in pleasure, feeling my body growing stronger. What really blew my mind was that the feeling of pleasure never faded as I eyed the enchanting body of Lilith up and down.
"Sene?" She called out with her seductive voice that made my mind shutter...I wanted to bang...Damnit.
Biting my lips, I shook my head priorities Arsene...THat can come later. "It's fine just thinking of what we could do tonight as a celebration.
"Oooh?" Lilith suddenly hummed as she licked her lips, "I will be waiting...have you decided what Lilith will be doing."
Hearing her passionate breath against my ear, I quivered as she stepped away, looking at the computers. A frown seemed to mask her face as she turned to me, "How many more times can you fire that formation?"
"Seven or eight," I lightly said as shadow materialized behind me. His face was solemn as a heavy presence filled the air.
"I will handle it, my lady." He said, looking at the various data present.
