Chapter 69
the Viscountess saw and felt the surge of power and felt it was familiar, but she thought this was not the right time, considering there were more pressuring matters at hand, seeing that some of the enemy trolls were able to push and divide her soldiers into small factions as there were forced to face each troll by groups further spreading them apart, as the enemy used this to gain the upper hand and bombarded some units with explosive spells,
meanwhile, as her remaining knights push their way into the heart of the battlezone they could see a masked warrior in black protecting, assisting and healing the wounded as they fight to survive, the knights rode with their battle cry as they face tremendous resistance from a group of warmonger trolls wearing full body armour with their huge battle axe that can cut an adult size person in half,
the growl of each beast could be heard, as the 15 knights faced 6 warmonger troll using those rock shattering axe, while the remaining 3 knights' commanders stood beside the Viscountess on top of a hill overlooking everything, as the knights fought with honour and pride as they attack thinking only victory in their mind when a huge shadow cascaded over their heads, as two knights flew upward because of the grinding force that cut their Sleipnir in half as blood poured on the ground as huge feet crush the fallen animal, fear slowly crawl in the hearts of those two warriors when one of them charge the troll that killed her horse and stabs the troll in the area were no armour could not fully protect, it was the under the arm of the foul beast.
the satisfaction of seeing it bleed was short, as it healed fast, as it swing its massive fist toward her as she block it with her shield but it shattered as the impact broke her arm then after her partner lunged at the troll stabbing it exposed neck with his long sword as it pierces thru the other side,
the victory was at hand, but the troll extended its arm and reach behind and grabs the knight by the head and throws him toward the ground breaking his body and was about to bash him with its axe when multiple flaming arrows punctured its thick armour like it was made of parchment paper and saw a masked warrior in mid-air as he spins and smash the trolls face with 4 rotating hits and with his free hand grab the trolls helmet by the chin guard as he swings around facing it and used the battle mace as a grapple, and then his symbiote mask move and change shape exposing his mouth
"Dragon Flame Burst."
focus flame came out of his mouth it was strong as the head of the troll burst into flame and even melts the armour that was protecting it from their attack, but she felt the mana consumption was minimal because he was still full of agility and stamina to move swiftly, and then after just kicks the enemy backwards as the momentum propelled him and just backflips in the air as he landed next to her and the wounded companion,
"Mystic Divine Healing."
and like that, they were saved as a Huge Gehanna Wolf rush near him and as he grab the wolf mane and ran toward another troll, many of the soldiers saw this and even experience his action first-hand as they were given a chance to take their arms and fight, soon most of the soldier who was saved and healed by him saw the opportunity to follow him as he unconsciously gave them the opportunity to overcome the enemy by presenting the right moment,
they heard his name was Lā mǐ'ěr, so they would address him without thinking the soldiers would just instantly gain strength and just overcome their fear and joined him as he ferociously fight alongside him, they called out his name saying to help them save those who were severely injured, they would gather around him and protect him on the rear as he attacked and heal at the same time, he would only nod and give out commands to rally and gather their comrades' by killing systematically and do not let the others face death in any kind of way.
they were all amazed to encounter such a precise and powerful being, he was mysterious and enigmatic with a massive mana capacity as he cast spells without draining his stamina and agility, and he showed that dying in battle was insignificant if you didn't kill the enemy and you yourself died in the process,
he has already claimed 57 warmonger trolls, he was death incarnate, the trolls who witness this were having doubts to continue their assault but their leader was persistent that they were far more powerful than the enemy, Ramiel and Alpha just continued to attack the Trolls who considered both of them as the biggest treat in their path,
" Arcane Sonar Detection,"
Ramiel orders Alpha to create a wall of fire around the group of Troll who deviated from the main unit and was seen marching toward the city, and orders a few soldiers that can also cast fire spells to assist his familiar, he pointed to the group that need stop to be suppressed immediately because they were the nearest to the city wall, the Viscountess Hilas Ugrihron wanted to join the battle but her right-hand commander advises her to remain because she is the city symbol and a ruling class,
"Lightning Scorn Missiles."
"Flame Scorn Storm,"
"Granite Scorn Storm,"
"Frost Scorn Storm,"
she was thrilled and excited to see a powerful being roaming her territory as he cast multiple spells and physically strike the enemy at the same time without even hesitating with his Bar mace, she wanted to join the battle herself, anxious and envious to see that her soldiers were able to join hands with such a glorious battle, many things were happening as more soldiers even the knights that personally serving the Viscountess banded together with Ramiels plan and ask them to scour the battleground for any remaining soldiers, as he cast
"Curse of Disruption,"
and aided those who were volunteering for this plan, they were more astounded to witness that he can temporarily imbue a beneficial status effect, as one soldier spoke that name they ponder,
"He is a noble Battle Mage!"
" guys! we do not have time to discuss this!"
"if you want to live and win, follow my instructions quickly."
Ramiel suddenly raised his battle bar mace above his head to block a powerful smashing force, one Troll was able to reach their location, and the impact pushed most of the soil that Ramiel was standing on to rise and spread all over the area and push him downward with pressure to make a small crater, the soldiers around him were shoved away as he took all of the blow as the area was filled with dust and smoke and falling dirt, the troll was happy that it was able to hurt him,
when a hand came out of the smoke as it hits the stomach of the troll it fell down groaning in pain,
"Chain Mutilation Slash,"
"Force Explosion Impact."
"Lightning Scorn Missiles."
the soldiers saw his brutality and viciousness while another troll fell dead by his hand, they all recalled what was his orders and just followed the instruction to the dot, he saw that and understood they are volunteering for this
" Controlled Arcane Barrier,
"Curse of Disruption,"
Ramiel ran and dash toward the enemy like a hungry wolf, while Alpha finished her task with the assistance of those soldiers who finish and were able to dispose of the deviated Troll with ease, came to his aid and ask what was his plan, Ramiel told Alpha he needs to secure sufficient energy to use the Devouring Decimation Plasma Wave, he plans to trap all of them inside a barrier to limit the destruction but he needs to save the remaining soldiers from evaporating to dust to the moment he cast this spell,
seeing the two communicating while fighting was surprising to see, the Gehanna wolf movement was in sync with the masked warrior, and their coordination was flawless as each other's attack and evasion would confuse the enemy until it was already too late for it to realize the mistake it made as it just fell dead on the ground, their skill was something to behold, the Viscountess lick her lips showing massive interest toward the Masked warrior,
"Alpha! I need your shadow, so I can finalize my plan!"
"I have killed 26 Warmonger Trolls, and with those kills, I can produce 8 shadows now!"
"good! let us begin, here is my plan."
