==========
The heavy infantry approached the first wall to gain entry into the kingdom. They at first baffled how they were wall built when records from 200 years ago had foretold the description of the walls and seeing the state of it made them rethink their plans.
From the records 200 years ago, the previous invasion of the Mirg Shield nations that was utter failure had told the destruction of the wall.
They couldn't wrap their head around it considering they only know that undead are mindless and couldn't be tamed due to their mind being twisted after death. Therefore they couldn't have the coordination to build it.
The ghouls that an brought wouldn't be able to build the wall that has the size of a titan wall. However, they quickly recomposed themselves and continued their invasion.
"Well it's about to start…"
Ryuu muttered standing at the middle wall using [ Byakugan ] to see the whole place having a ranging number of several thousands of soldiers. He turned to see the sun had started to set and even though it was still early, the sun was blocked by the tall mountain range.
He then focused his attention at the third wall where Van showed himself to the army, making every single one of them bewildered by his action.
He then brought out a spear which was Ice Age, a weapon made the strongest metal of Orichalcum, a magical metal of the gods, which is even harder than Adamantite and possesses greater anti-magic properties than Mythril. It boasts the greatest physical and magical defense of any material in the world.
It once housed a clone of the god of ice, Yupeon and the weapon wielded by a A class adventurer hero, Mikhail. The weapon was treated as the national treasure by the Mirg-Shield nations that was now snapped in half by Vandalieu.
Though it was obviously a fake one made of iron since breaking even molding a Orichalcum is only a mere dream. Van broke using the Golem transmutation skill that he had and At that moment, the entire stronghold fell silent for a moment before exploding with outrage.
"Damn you! How dare you do such a thing to our country's national treasure!"
"There is a limit to the insult we can endure! I swear on my honor as a knight that I will slay you!"
"You piece of shit! That Ice Age was supposed to become mine! You… You… I'll slaughter you!"
Riley swore, he was one of the group who hunted down Vandalieu's mother but had since left the part since Heinz, the leader of Five-Colored Blades had a change of view in life and left Amid Empire but still devotee of Alda faction, though a more friendly faction that was on the opposing empire of Amid Empire called Orbaume Empire.
Though, even if Heinz has a change of heart, he's a naive fool who tries to hide what he had done.
Every single soldier was livid from Vandalieu's action, taking a huge blow to their pride even when they realized it was fake. Soon the Van leaped into the second next Ryuu as the first wall collapsed close to the heavy infantry.
"It's funny how fast they become chaotic from your little show." Ryuu said.
"That was great! Wish I could do the same with those old fossils." Gojo added.
"I'm also surprised it's working quite well. Those books help a lot." Vandaliue replied.
"Are you going to follow the story?" Ryuu asked. Van understands that everyone won't happen exactly as it is but doesn't mean he won't use it as a guide or outline of things.
"Yes, for the most part but knowing the S class Thunderclap Schneider is my ally and not seeing him participate is reassuring."
At first the army tried recruiting Scheinder for the war but fortunately or unfortunately declined. It would be messy if he joined the war and ruined his reputation at the Amid Empire by acting as some sort of spy.
"Also, I'm still weak but I did acquire a mission on my own to defeat this army."
"Oh what's the reward?"
Ryuu thought that he was the only one who could complete the mission since Shinobu never acquired one.
"It's Gravity Magic."
He raised an eyebrow and wondered what it was. Ryuu is slightly frustrated that he is unable to use appraisal to see what the magic is like then it clicks on him.
'Well I'm stupid….I could use the shop to see it!'
Ryuu hadn't been using the shop because most items are extremely expensive and he only uses them to transfer skills. He then opens the store and checks what the magic is like.
[ Gravity Magic ]
[ Description: Users are able to use a form of magic that is related and based on gravity. For example, one can use this magic to gain access to gravity-related abilities or gain the ability to use magic and cast spells using gravity or gravitational forces. ]
[ Cost: 70,000 ]
He wondered if the manipulation of gravity using magic includes velocity, inertia or even the magnetic field of an object. Ryuu could only imagine Van using it to easily crush his foe.
Putting their attention back to the war, Van soon used the Trebuchet to launch several stone golem that started slaughtering the army left and right. Though these golems were easily defeated, Van could easily revive them back and continue the fight.
"The disease seems to be quite effective."
Ryuu muttered, witnessing the soldier start coughing with the few exceptions where his "Evolved" infected. He evilly smiled seeing their suffering especially Gordon, The Vampire Hunter and the one involved in Van's Mother death.
At first they assume it was poison considering this is a clever tactic in war but unfortunately they have poison resistance to combat this. However, it was just their luck; it wasn't poison, but rather a disease.
"Shall we start the carnage?"
Ryuu grinned wickedly as he leaped from the battlements, his body twisting in mid-air. Twin handguns, formed from his own flesh, materialized in his hands—twisted abominations born of his [Bone Magic] fused with [Disease Magic], each bullet a harbinger of death.
The earth trembled as his boots hit the ground, the impact reverberating like a death knell. From the shadows, Vandalieu's subordinates and his lover emerged, summoned from the abyss. Ryuu's smirk deepened as he cocked his guns, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
"Slaughter them all!" he commanded, his voice echoing like a battle cry.
"Rise, my shadows!" Trese roared as she summoned her monstrous army: Rank 4 shadow raptors, Rank 5 shadow tri-horns, a Rank 6 venomous wyvern and hydra, and finally, the colossal Rank 7 shadow brachiosaurus. Each beast was a nightmare made flesh, tearing into the enemy ranks with savage fury.
Beside her, Kie's hands moved with blinding speed, casting spells that infused their allies with immense power.
"Greater Protection! Greater Resistance!" she chanted, weaving enchantments that bolstered their strength and resilience a hundredfold.
The darkness swirled around them as the shadows closed in. The darkness user, her Baruka daggers and personal blade Sinag gleaming with lethal precision, danced through the chaos. She moved like a phantom, her figure vanishing and reappearing amidst the carnage, cutting down soldiers before they could even react.
The enemy, already weakened by Ryuu's insidious disease magic, tried desperately to fight back, activating [Surpass Limits] in a futile attempt to stave off the inevitable. But their efforts were in vain. Their strength was sapped, their bodies betraying them as they succumbed to fatigue and despair.
The slaughter had begun, and there would be no mercy.
"KILL THEM AAAALL!"
"Protect the children! Slaughter the intruders!"
"Don't you dare set foot in our nation again!"
The morale of the Ghouls and Undead, who had been waiting in the suffocating darkness beneath the earth for hours, surged as they emerged into the fray. The blackness that might have unnerved others was their natural element, a familiar shroud in which they thrived. This wasn't just any battle—it was a fight to protect their home, their very existence.
As they rose from the depths, a wave of terror rippled through the enemy ranks. Some of the soldiers, sensing the hopelessness of their situation, tried to retreat. But escape was impossible. Strengthened by Kie's magic, the Ghouls and Undead tore through the fleeing soldiers with ruthless efficiency, their claws, teeth, and weapons all fueled by a relentless, unyielding resolve.
Kie, though unable to continuously maintain her powerful spells, poured everything she had into supporting her allies. Each surge of her magic pushed them forward, turning them into an unstoppable force. Even as her energy waned, her determination did not falter; she would do everything in her power to protect those who depended on her.
For the Ghouls and Undead, this was not just a battle—it was a stand for survival, and they fought with a ferocity that only those defending their home could muster.
"Kaa-san, you should rest and leave the rest to us! Blue, let's go!"
"Roar!"
Nezuko burst onto the battlefield atop her monstrous pet, a fearsome creature whose every step shook the ground. Her eyes burned with fierce resolve as she unleashed her near-perfect flame control, her flames spiraling outward in torrents of searing heat. Soldiers clad in thick armor, once confident in their defenses, were incinerated in an instant, their metal shells offering no protection against the inferno.
The flames danced and roared, licking the sky as they consumed all in their path. Those who might have withstood the onslaught in rare Mythril armor were nowhere to be found—such a metal was a treasure too scarce to be wasted on common troops. And so, the soldiers perished, their screams lost in the crackle of Nezuko's relentless fire.
With each sweep of her hand, she carved a path of devastation through the enemy ranks, her pet trampling those who dared to stand in their way. Nezuko was an unstoppable force, her flames turning the battlefield into a hellish landscape, a true testament to her power and fury.
"Bang! Bang! This is really fun!"
"....I feel like I became a horrible influence."
Ryuu murmured to himself, his gaze fixed on Nezuko as she unleashed devastation across the battlefield. Her flames consumed everything in their path, leaving behind only ashes and scorched earth. Despite the chaos and bloodshed, she moved with unflinching precision, using minimal resources yet showing no hesitation.
As he watched, a thought crossed his mind. He wondered if the [Harem System], with its mysterious and often misunderstood mechanics, played a role in shielding their minds from the emotional toll of such relentless slaughter. Was it the system that kept them focused, unwavering in their resolve, even as they bathed in the horrors of war?
The question lingered in Ryuu's mind, but there was no time for answers. The battle raged on, and there was still much blood to be spilled.
"I won't let you get away with this!"
A soldier, his face twisted with desperation and fury, let out a primal scream as he pushed himself forward, charging directly at Kie. His sword flashed in the dim light, his technique honed by years of training and desperation. With a final burst of energy, he closed the distance, his blade arcing toward Kie with lethal intent.
Kie, focused on maintaining her spells, barely had time to react as the soldier's sword came hurtling toward her. The steel gleamed, promising a swift end. But even as the blade descended, her eyes locked onto her attacker, and she began to brace herself for the impact.
"I'm sorry but I can't let you do that!"
In that crucial moment, Mitsuri, positioned a short distance away, sprang into action. With lightning speed, she unleashed her sword whip, which extended with a snap and coiled around the soldier like a serpent. With a powerful flick, she flung him away from Kie, buying precious seconds. Without hesitation, Mitsuri activated [Shundō], her movement becoming a blur as she closed the gap in an instant.
Accompanied by her specialized breathing technique, she sliced through the soldier with surgical precision, her blade cutting him cleanly in half before he even realized what had happened. Blood sprayed the ground as his lifeless body crumpled, the attack executed with effortless grace.
The [ Job System] had enhanced their abilities to such an extent that the once-difficult feats now felt like second nature. Magic and techniques flowed through them seamlessly, requiring little thought or effort.
Most of their sword techniques had already reached Level 10, and they could sense that with the right catalyst, those skills were on the verge of evolving into something even more powerful—a superior skill that could change the tide of any battle.
"I feel sorry for these people but knowing their intention, the gods and the evil vampire behind them are to be blamed."
"We're lucky, Muzan didn't do something like that."
Kanae moved with a graceful yet deadly precision, her eyes reflecting a mix of determination and inner conflict. She summoned a whirlwind of ethereal petals, each one a razor-sharp blade inspired by Byakuya's Bankai.
The petals swirled around her in a beautiful yet lethal dance, slicing through the approaching soldiers with ease. As they fell, Kanae felt a pang of guilt—she was not a natural killer, and taking lives, even in battle, weighed heavily on her heart.
But she steeled herself, knowing that these soldiers sought to destroy everything she and her comrades were fighting to protect. Their intentions left her with no choice, and she pushed her guilt aside, focusing on the harsh reality of the battlefield.
Meanwhile, Shinobu watched the carnage unfold with a sense of relief. She silently thanked the heavens that Muzan's arrogance had prevented him from using humans as pawns against the Demon Slayer Corps.
The thought of having to fight fellow humans, those they were sworn to protect, was a nightmare she was glad to avoid. It would have torn at the very fabric of their resolve, complicating an already dire struggle. As it stood, they could fight without that moral burden, channeling their full strength into defeating the true enemy.
"Yeah he's a dumbass!"
Justine leaped into the air with a fierce battle cry, her gauntlet-clad fists hurtling toward the ground like a meteor. She crashed into the battlefield with explosive force, the impact sending shockwaves through the ranks of the enemy soldiers. Her gauntlets smashed through even the toughest armor as if it were paper, and she shrugged off their retaliatory strikes with ease, her body a fortress of unyielding strength.
With each blow, she reveled in the thrill of combat, her adrenaline surging as she tore through the battlefield. There was a wild grin on her face as she moved from one opponent to the next, leaving a trail of destruction in her wake. The soldiers who faced her were quickly overwhelmed, their weapons and tactics proving useless against her sheer power.
To those watching, Justine appeared as a blood-soaked tyrant, her form covered in the crimson stains of her enemies. Her presence on the battlefield was both terrifying and awe-inspiring, a force of nature that could not be stopped. She embodied the chaos of war, and nothing could stand in her way.
"I guess it's phase two huh? Show yourself my dear servant! It's time to feast!"
