[VRMMO] Chaos Doctor-Chapter 444 - 443 – End of holy empire – Part 3.

"…"

"Huh…. That…. This isn't…"

"…"

"Something is off." – said "Kid" as he stared down at the city while still being inside of the Sky Behemoth ship.

"Em… What is it? From what I can see, we are conquering the city way faster than we had thought?" – asked the vampire noble.

"Yes. That is the problem. We are conquering the place way too fast." – said "Kid".

"Even if the Daughter Of Mercy was taken out before we got here, there are still 3 more children."

"And all 3 of them are monsters."

"Will is a tactician."

"Loyalty is a buffer."

"And Justice is straight up monster."

"Even if the holy empire did lost a huge chunk of their power, they still should have a lot of power in reserve."

"The fight should had taken entire day, but at this rate things will be over in less than 12 hours."

(We had been like what? Fighting for 3 hours since we had gotten inside the city?)

(We had already conquered entire outer ring of the city and before long we will counter the middle ring and then the very middle one.)

(The holy emperor is no doubt still in the city.)

(…)

"Sent some forces outside the city."

"?"

"Excuse me?" – asked confused noble vampire.

"You heard me. Sent some forces outside the city. There is a good chance that the children of the holy emperor are trying to escape." – said "Kid".

(The divine parasite.)

(According to the information that the Elizabeth Kar and Thanatos provided, the holy emperor is a parasite type being that created a fake clones for himself that are used when emperor dies.)

(He takes over the "child" and gets reincarnated.)

(Is the holy emperor planning on having his children escaping?)

(Then again…. There is also Arthur and his party... Is the information they told us correct or not?)

[Meanwhile: Holy Castle]

"JEANNE! MAGDA! RESPONE THIS INSTANCE!" – shouted the holy emperor as he held two pendant totems.

"…"

(Why are they not responding!?) – thought alarmed emperor.

(I can feel their presence in the city! That means they are still alive!)

(So why are they not even responding?! They should at least try to communicate!)

"!"

(Wait! The Mercy signal is gone?!) – thought the holy emperor as he realized he could no longer sense Daughter Of Mercy anywhere.

(Shit! She is fucking dead!? I've thought…. No! The organization wasn't working with that traitor Arthur according to these two.

(Does that mean he failed at protecting her?)

"Fucking useless shit!" – said annoyed pope as he stormed out of the throne room and quickly headed to the massive ritual that was being held.

"What do you mean you don't have enough power?! Pour more!" – shouted elderly priest as he was surrounded by the completely worn-out priest.

"S-sir…. We straight up used everything we had…. We also used up potions…. We are really out of everything…" – said the mage before then losing conscious.

"No progress?" – asked the holy emperor as he sneaked behind the elderly priest.

"Y-y-your holiness?!" – said terrified elderly priest as he turned around.

"…"

"What of the ritual? Why is it becoming unstable?" – asked visible pissed off emperor.

"T-the….We…."

"SPEAK PLAINLY!" – shouted the emperor at the elderly priest who couldn't muster up any words.

"E-energy! We don't have enough energy to activate the ritual!" – replied the elderly priest.

"Just finishing up the ritual used up way too much energy and now we don't have enough to activate it!"

"…"

"I see." – said emperor as he approached the giant magical circle.

"…"

"There is a way."

"Gather up every single person we have in the castle."

"Servants, warriors, knights, paladins, priest and even saints."

"Gather those who were also dispatched to protect the inner circle as well."

"Now."

"Y-yes!" – replied the elderly priest as he ran off.

"…"

*Sigh*

"This will definitely be messy."

[Meanwhile: City]

"S-shit! What the actual fuck is this!?" - shouted the priest player.

"SHUT THE FUCK UP AND JUST SHOOT IT! SHOOT IT!" – shouted the mage player as a large group of players started firing their skills at something, bombarding the entire area as the dust started up covering up their vision.

"D-did we get him?" – asked elven player.

"IDIOT! DON'T RAISE THAT-"

A giant claw suddenly swung down, crushing and slaying several players all at once, before moments later a giant creature emerged from the cloud of dust and smoke.

"Is this all you have?" – asked Phantasia as he towered over the players in this third monster form.

"W-what the fuck is going on here!? Did that bastard evolved or some shit?! Why he looks like that?!" – said terrified player as Phantasia started going on the total rampage, smashing anything around him while consciously unleashing a plague mist from his mouth as well as firing off poison type skills.

"Fuck! Hey! Can't you do something about that smoke!? We can't get close to him!" – shouted a knight player.

"We are trying! But he is spreading this stuff around nonstop!" – said the priest player before then getting blasted with railgun, which just vaporized the man.

"Ah…. This is fun." – said Phantasia.

"Squashing people like you with overwhelming strength and filling them with sense of fear and inferiority."

"!"

"Are you fucker calling us inferior?!" – shouted pissed off knight player before moments later Phantasia instantly destroyed the distance between the two players, terrifying the knight who tried to raise up his defenses.

"Yes." – said Phantasia as he instantly crushed and destroyed the knight player, right in front of everybody's eyes.

"Hey. Are you playing with your food again?" – said a giant slime girl that suddenly appeared from behind a building.

"?!"

"Another fucking giant?!" – said terrified elven player.

"The fuck is this?!"

"Well, I do wanted to enjoy myself a bit…. But I guess these bastards are less enjoyable than I've had thought." – replied Phantasia.

"So, I guess I will be just exterminating them normally." – said Phantasia as vampire soldiers and the mad scientist monsters showed up, surrounding the isolated players.

"Oh…. What the actual fuck is this?" – said the paladin player.

"…Yea…. I think I want to go home."

The city defenses were crumbling.

The first outer ring of city has already been completely conquered by the organization.

And right now, the middle ring has been completely conquered by the organization.

To make matters worse, as the more parts of the city were conquered, as more people gave into the and as more people abandoned their faith, the power of the heavens in the city weakened…. Resulting in the obvious outcome.

Total destruction.

The forces of the holy empire were getting now completely destroyed…. And while that was happening, the children of the holy emperor were nowhere in sight as well…. Which obviously made people question if the heavens themselves have abandoned the empire?

However, even when all of that chaos was happening, the holy emperor did not gave up as he suddenly ordered all forces defending the castle and the inner ring to gather up.

"What is the meaning of this?!" – shouted the paladin.

"Why we were ordered to return to the castle!? We are meant to protect the people!" – shouted pissed off paladin.

"Silence! This is the order from the emperor himself!" – shouted the elderly priest as the people started questioning why they were recalled.

"!?"

"Emperor did!? But why?!" – the people gathered started whispering.

"Did he abandoned people and wants to protect his own hide!?"

"Shit! What the hell is he thinking?!"

"…"

"But…. Why did he also ordered non combatants to gather here? These are servants there, right? They can't heal or fight."

"Yea…. This is weird…"

"SILENCE!" – shouted a holy knight.

"The holy emperor has come to grace you with his divine presence!" – shouted the holy knight as the holy emperor entered the ritual site where the people gathered.

"!"

"Your holiness! What is the meaning of this?!" – shouted the paladin as he forced his way through the crowd of people.

"Why did you ordered all forces to be recalled?! The enemy are about to storm at the inner circle!"

"There is no need to worry." – replied holy emperor.

"Since soon the army of the heavens will descend down and smite the heretics."

"?!"

"Y-your holy majesty?! Are you thinking about using these people energy to supply the ritual?!" – asked worried elderly priest.

"F-forgive me for speaking out…. But it won't work."

"True. We would be able to easily do that with this amount of people."

"But now we are cut off from our source of divine and holy power! We don't have enough po-"

"Yea I know." – said the holy emperor as the giant magic circle suddenly activated, alarming everybody.

"?!"

(It activated?! But there shouldn't be e-)

The elderly priest realized that something was wrong…. But right in the very next moment, a tendril like blades made out of light started emerging from the middle of the circle, alarming everybody.

"The ritual is working?!" – said tired priest.

"But how?! We couldn't activated it after-"

And just in the very next moment, the blade like tendrils pierced several people bodies, before then dragging them right into the middle of the circle, where their bodies would end up being devoured by the magical ritual, making their bodies turn into nothing more than light particles.

"…Eh?" – the people stared dumbfounded upon witnessing the bizarre scene…. And before even they could process what just happened, even more tendrils started sprouting from the magic circles, which then instantly started attacking everybody, killing everybody and devouring everybody.

"?!"

"Y-your holiness!? W-what is the meaning of this?! What are these things?! Why is the circle being acti-"

"Shut it already." – said the holy emperor as he pushed away the elderly priest with his hand, before in the very next moment the tendril of light pierced the elderly man's body and then just dragged him away.

"In the name of the heavens."

"You shall die, so I can avenge you."

"And bright the hammer of the justice upon these heretics."
