Pov Queen Melissa:
I was on the city walls looking in the direction of the information this Celestina gave me yesterday.
Since yesterday my best mages have cast several trap spells in this direction of the forest, my troops were also ready to mobilize at any time I give the order.
I look at the clouds above the forest, they are hiding in some of those clouds waiting for Gregory to show up, could only wait and see what happens, if I show up from the start it will lower my troops’ morale and I could be falling into a trap of Gregory.
I have to wait until I’m needed and identify the danger level of the enemies so I can take advantage of the element of surprise to finish off the most troublesome enemies first.
“Ma’am, there seems to be movement a few kilometers further in the forest.”
“We wouldn’t have noticed such weak reactions as this before strengthening area detection magic.”
“Any idea of ??the numbers?” (I)
“Reactions were weak even with the magic boosted, but it’s a few thousand at the very least.”
I look ahead and notice the movement of birds changing in an area not too far away, but other than that there’s no more evidence of enemies approaching. ．
With those numbers, they shouldn’t be able to walk in a forest with terrain as uneven as this one, let alone so quietly.
At that moment I remember the information I got from Celestina and my aunt, there is also the report of those who fought against Gregory’s rules.
Gregory seems to have secretly developed an army of Kimeras, this explains the monsters I faced during the Monster Wave, they were all Kimeras of various different types, Gregory was trying to weaken me with that and I didn’t notice.
“For Monsters, lurking silently through the forest is normal…” (I)
I continue to follow the enemies from afar, even if I can’t see them now, it’s ok since I know where they’re going to go in a little while.
Soon they arrive where the traps were set and explosions, large rock spikes, and various other effects happen revealing exactly where they were.
“Attack!” (I)
After that my troops start the attack, I have more than 20000 magic soldiers, and by the numbers, we should be in numerical advantage.
“What is it!?” (I)
Suddenly I feel the activation of a great magic, when I look where it comes from I see a magic circle lighting up around my castle in the middle of the city.
Soon the magic circle rises until it is high above the castle and I was able to identify the type of magic, it was space magic, apparently the teleportation type.
I spread my wings wanting to fly as fast as possible in an attempt to stop this magic, but the moment I started to fly the magic fully activated causing a large metal box tens of meters high to appear above the castle.
It was no surprise the box fell destroying half of my castle, the castle’s defenses were against magic, I didn’t expect a physical attack of this scale.
It took me just a few seconds to fly from the city walls to the center of the city where my castle was, at that moment a part of the metal box was thrown at me while other parts flew in other directions.
“This is useless against me… Damn it!” (I)
Something like that would be useless against me, I hope to get very close to me and when I purple with my hand I put it in a storage item, but I failed to notice the extremely fast attack that was behind that big dented metal plate.
Because of that an arm covered in spikes almost hit me, my speed was just a little faster and with my reaction speed I was able to dodge a direct hit, but just the pressure of the punch was enough to throw me tens of meters before I can stop.
Being further away I saw what that thing had, it had a body similar to that of a fat giant, but it had thick spider legs made of bones, in addition, it had four arms that had silver claws like metal, and it had no head, but it had 2 large eyes on its chest and a large vertical mouth that runs from the top of its chest to the bottom of its belly, it also had six tree-thick tentacles on its back.
This thing’s body was not proportionate at all, some areas of its body had different colors and its body seemed to be coated in these hard.
“How can something so big be so strong and at the same time fast?” (I)
This thing wastes no time, its attacks started without warning, and its tentacles on its back started flailing around the outskirts destroying the center of the city, at the same time the big mouth opens in a way that the body of this thing seems to be splitting in half.
Without letting out any kind of roar or sound, the fire spreads from the mouth burning the city and the castle, everything was so fast that I didn’t have time to react.
All he knew was that this thing was very aggressive, it started attacking the moment it freed itself, also unlike most monsters this thing didn’t make any sounds other than those produced by its attacks.
My capital was already starting to catch fire when suddenly rays of light shoot out of the eyes of what should be the monster’s chest, they seem to have a will of their own as they curve in the air until they reach me.
“< Annihilation Shots > ×5” (I)
I use my pure Demon magic for a spell that creates 10 spheres capable of annihilating almost anything it touches, these spheres are condensed, frenzied Demonic energy.
I created 50 of these orbs that rain on top of this colossal monster for over 25 meters, my orbs make a lot of holes in its body, but the damage was much less than I expected.
The monster seems to feel no pain as it continues to tear the city apart, but this time one of its eyes has turned towards me along with one of the tentacles coming towards me.
I tried to rip this tentacle off, but just like the wounds my energy spheres created, everything was healing at great speed and a new tentacle grows, so this monster turns towards me trying to use its arms to crush me.
“This one is going to be hard.” (I)
