Vengeance of the Returner

Chapter 215: The end of war (1): a godly presence

Two godly men were fighting a gigantic blue beast that was soaring in the sky. It could be more appropriate to say that they were getting dominated by the otherworldly being that was emanating coldness throughout the entire war field.

"Ahh!"

Nate growled falling towards the ground from over 1000 meters altitude along with Feroz khan.

"I believe we'd die if we fight any more than this."

Feroz khan declared as he was falling.

Well, that was a celestial being that was very close to reaching its prime level whilst those demigods were nothing but mere children compared.

The war was fiercer than ever as there were literally places burning furiously. Dead bodies were around in every direction possible. The war field was wholly dominated by winged beings who are known as devils and angels.  Everywhere one could see was filled with blood.

Slowly a huge red rift appeared had the white snow continually fell on the war field. From which emerged a red burning stone. It was a meteor. Something about over twenty meters straight towards the army of Corruptists. The one who cast that spell was the witch of seven sins.

Her army was a fierce one. The Ruilo Magore had weapons that were built with metal that were hard to obtain. The master weapon forger has absolutely done his job with his full dedication along with Vikil, A prodigy the likes who would only be born 1000 years once, a rare talent who fell into darkness.

There was Rachael, Rafila, Yumeko, and all the others from the Transgressors. And there was even the production team that contained Vikil, Daisy, and Aizen. Each had a unique weapon they had chosen. Some things were made like guns, thanks to daisy who gave the blueprint to the Dwarf weaponsmith and Vikil. 

The combination of modern weapons mixed with magic had now been introduced into the battle. But, sure there was surely one predecessor who'd have already constructed such things. Since there were towers and mechanical walls that protected Theemai. From Nix's truth eye showed it was made by some unknown mechanic.

He might as well surely made such a thing. The problem is one needed materials that could stay stable. For now, they had made use of the Thermantite that can absorb and release mana. 

Overall, it had its flaws. The metal cannot be used over a continuous course of time. It can be still used fully as such in the Outsiders that where Nix's clan members were armed with machine guns that use mana.

There are things like weight class which will surely put short people that weigh lesser than the opponent as weak. This can be overcome by skillfulness but, if the opponent is as skillful as they are even better. Then they'd be utterly defeated.

But guns? They do not need skills. Skills in means, even an amateur who does not know to fight can kill a man built like a beast with just a shot. Nevertheless, the bullets should contain magic that can pierce their armor.

Well, there are swordsmen who can even cut the bullets but, that is someone who's very well versed and skilled. So, it might not be needed to fight petty soldiers. 

"What type of sorcery is that?" Asked Raes Henil standing in a very long distance as the bullets continuously pierced the foot soldiers. 

The other races were dominating with their unique prowess as well. First the interference of the beasts and now this unknown bunch of hoodlums that came carrying some weird toys. Apart from all that, there was a woman who was casting a spell that could destroy an entire battalion.

The meteor began to burn fiercely and quickly sped towards the western battalion that was led by an unknown man who was holding a katana. He seemed to be an Outsider that had transmigrated from japan as his armor resembled that of a samurai's. 

He closed his eyes as a huge green layer formed around him and his sword. It was a high concentration technique. In the next second, he swung his katana the meteor was split in two halfway before it could land on the battalion.

He began running towards and jumped towards the sky and began to slash his sword that continuously pierced and shaped the meteor into nothing but fragments of rocks that rained on the soldiers who were shielding.

"Haha, It's not like only they have powerful people. But, who is he?"

Raes henil asked his knight.

"Yamamoto Sukuna, the slaughterer of thousands."

His title surely contained a heavy meaning. He was a slaughterer who once slew thousands of swordsmen in the name of a challenge as a sole man. A main character who possesses a story similar to the likes of Nix. But, he's an evil one, unlike Nix.

As mentioned, there are several individuals that wander Empyrean who possess talent and power that could put down many ordinary folks. They are gifted by nature since their birth. One can say they are inborn as such. Perhaps they are destined for greatness but sure the world is unfair. Where the gifted trample the weak.

If a normal person learns how to crawl after several attempts. These destined ones literally learn to crawl in their first attempt. They are monsters who do not know the unfairness and do not care about it either.

They simply don't look down from the height they had reached. And such a blinded person was Yamamoto Sukuna.

He was made to enter the Southern continent over a month ago accompanied by some talented Outlaws. This was a secret that even the Royal dynasties didn't know. The same goes for the side of Ralugerists, there were hidden individuals with great prowess. 

Not to the extent or comparable to Yamamoto but, they'd be able to fend if they stood together. And such individuals slowly began to show themself.

A woman in a kimono, a Japanese attire holding a Katana walked forward accompanied by another woman who was literally a copy of her. To be precise they were twins. 

They pierced the air as they dashed towards Yamamoto. It seems they have a rivalry. 

Apart from all that the whole coldness slowly faded.

At that very moment, the whole war field noticed a shift in the air as a chill ran down in each and every one of their spines. It was a Presence of a literal god. Something that was beyond the nightmare.

Though they did not stop to such mundane effects. Since their opponents would not stop either. They continued pursuing their fights. In a given moment if they slack even a minute they die by the hands of their opponents as such they cannot turn towards such distraction.

Meanwhile,

'What was that? I saw something dashing through the sky. In any case, I am rather thankful.'

Nix thought as he drank few sips from the barrels that fell from the sky.

"Soldiers! You all stay here and rest. I'll take a few of our soldiers and return with reinforcement."

He declared and mounted the Krigon along with Nagendra and several others. All Mutinos have been killed all that was left were Krigons. Rather it has already been a while since they have taken some water.

For some reason, Rosalie appeared to be quiet and she seemed pretty anxious as well. Even though she was directing them.

He didn't ask any questions. Just a few hours of traveling could let them reach the middle of Ranrak which connects to every other path to go to other cities.

As they rode their Krigons towards the middle of cities sound and cries of soldiers entered their ears.

"War?"

Nix said looking at Nagendra.

Now he clearly remembered the scene. The sky had darkened as the countless cries echoed. The cold air seeped through his nostrils. A unique feeling that made his heartbeat wilder. 

Yes! This was the war where Dark Nix awakened Ethereal shift. This was where Rebecca sacrificed herself.  The blood war where he fought a devil to his death. 

This explained why Nagendra came with a group of people, Riding Krigons.

A huge devil that was battling along his kin and Outlaws shifted his eyes as a huge group as once again arrived.

Boom!

A magic spell fell in their direction.

"Nix... We do not have a choice but to fight."

Nagendra said glaring at him whilst riding the horse borrowing a word from his subordinate.

Nix nodded and raised his word.

"My comrades, I know you people need rest. But, we have reached the battlefield once again. Fight in order to survive."

He drifted his eyes and looked at Rebecca.

Fate is something very hard to escape. If that's true. Rebecca will die here. He thought things would change but, everything was the same even the battlefield and the location. Nothing had changed. 

If he wanted to pay the debt he owed. It is for now. He needs to struggle to shift her fate. The Devil seemed like something thrice stronger than the Horse devil, meaning something that is stronger than even Nix and Nagendra.

[Class ability: Berserk havoc activated]

His eyes gave out a red glint as he began to twirl the burning, chains of resentment on the air.

It was literally a fight between a true Devil versus a man who was similar to one.
