Will of chaos-Chapter 910 Cap 908: The Executioner Of Light Part 1

Pov Mercenary (Oni):

Damn, I keep trying to use my right arm for another 1 hour, little by little it moves better and better, there is still some discomfort in its response time, but what to expect from a cheap prosthesis.

Sigh

"That should be enough to fight." (I)

The delay time has improved a lot, I think that only during combat I will be able to adjust better, it was like the previous prosthesis too.

"How's the arm?" (Mary)

"Awful, but I can't afford a better one." (I)

"Magical engineers don't come to the battlefield, but if you do well, you might get something better as a reward." (Mary)

"It would be nice if that really happens, I had to stop being an Adventurer to become a mercenary because of that arm." (I)

"The Guild doesn't expel people for having prosthetic limbs." (Mary)

"I did this because I'm a combatant, facing monsters is harder for me, unforeseen events happen more often, their resistance is higher, they have fewer weaknesses and have a lot of vitality." (I)

"Killing people is easier and as a mercenary, I'm more likely to earn money by fighting people than as an adventurer." (I)

"That is if you don't think too hard about who you're fighting for." (Mary)

"In a normal war, there is no right or wrong side, I just don't fight against my nation, that's why I'm on that side." (I)

The participation of one more person doesn't make much difference, it's not like the side I'm fighting for is going to win just because I'm participating, but this time I'm fighting for my house, I'm going to do what I can.

"..." (Mary)

"What's wrong?" (I)

Mary is an Adventurer, I don't know why she is in our squadron where almost everyone is a mercenary, but she is very friendly with everyone.

She is a smart Adventurer who thinks strategically, I'm sure someone in her family is a military man in some army, she is from the Runic Race with a contract with a Wind Spirit and an Earth Fairy.

I look over at her noticing that her face is a pale pit and her eyes are thoughtful, as we talk I notice that she seems a little distracted, it's clear to me that she's thinking about something.

"Come on, tell me what's worrying you?" (I)

"I need your help with something, I hear you know the General." (Mary)

"Yes, many years ago he was a mercenary like me, when I started he helped me a lot." (I)

"I need you to give this to him, don't let anyone see it, and don't look." (Mary)

"(It seems to be something important for her to deliver directly to the General.)" (I) 𝗳𝒓𝙚e𝓌e𝚋𝙣𝚘𝐯𝙚𝙡.𝑐૦ｍ

I take the letter she hands me after she's left the tent where she was out of town, I'm tempted to take a look, but I won't, whatever's in here doesn't interest me.

So I get up and go out to deliver the letter.

-------------

1 day later.

The city was surrounded, and reinforcements from another Kingdom arrived carrying the flag of the Church of Light across the city.

This happened in the middle of a battle outside the city gates, and because of that half the army had to separate, to make matters worse a Floating War Ship was trying to reach the city, but the Tamers are using their aerial monsters to keep the Ship Warfloater busy with the assistance of most Mages.

"< Blade Charge >" (I)

"< Earth Lunge >" (I)

"Ugh!" (I)

I was outside the city gates, I'm a melee fighter and would be useless in a defensive fight on the other side of the city, so stay here fighting to kill as many enemies as possible.

I wave to other Mercenaries who make a line side by side and then all use a charge skill pushing enemy troops back leaving a clearer path for our troops to deploy in a more orderly fashion.

Soon after I use it and two others use area attacks to be able to retreat safely, I use my great sword in the earth making swords of rock come out of the ground in a cone-shaped area in front of me.

It left me exposed standing in the same place for a long time, an arrow surrounded by a cyclone hit me, and I try not to resist to be thrown back, it lowered the arrow's damage at the same time it threw me back away from the rest of the enemies.

"Damn, what is this!?" (I)

"□■○●●■○■?●■?■"

No time to think when I looked up, thousands of spears of light covered the sky, I could hear countless voices that seemed to come from all corners mixing in words I didn't understand, but with each word the glow of the spears of light seemed to intensify.

I felt an Aura invade the battlefield, this Aura was of a power that I couldn't see the end of.

This Aura was extremely aggressive and felt condemning as if I was being condemned without even having a chance to be judged, a tyrannical Aura that smashed down on me so hard that I had trouble moving.

I noticed from the corners of my vision that the enemy army was not being affected by the Aura as they advanced towards us with weapons in hand, meanwhile the people near me were in an equal or worse state than I was, there was even a Demon in the ground frothing blood at the mouth as it writhed.

"You really showed up, Executioner of Light."

"< Temple of Victory >"

Suddenly a male voice appears along with an Aura full of will to fight, this Aura as powerful as the other seemed to push the other Aura away while leaving me focused again on complete, I took 10 magic items in the form of triangles and threw them in the high.

"< Activate >" (I)

The magic items open releasing a dense fog of poison that causes paralysis and hallucinations while the fog itself is also obstructing vision, I take this moment to pick up the Demon on the ground and run back to the city.

What I did is a signal to retreat, everyone already took the antidote in the morning, and as soon as they see the fog they will retreat at the same time as the remaining archers and mages will rain attacks on that area, that's why I ran without looking back while carrying that one more next to me who was unconscious.

"Damn, damn, damn! What's going on!" (I)
