Villain's Journey Towards Destruction

Chapter 44: First Fortress.

Second Volume - Crimson Journey

_______________

4 Years Later.

In the City of Charity.

A massive bottomless pit was located in the Southern Area of Charity, but the area around it... Was mesmerizing. Buildings after buildings have been rebuilt, and Charity looks more beautiful than ever before.

The Western Area, which has been barren wasteland only 4 years ago, is now beautiful green grassland with massive parks and beautiful lakes.

Since Main Government confirmed that there weren't any toxicity levels in the air. Charity's business bloomed.

Chris and Ariane perfectly worked together and brought Charity to the level which seemed impossible only 4 years ago.

There has also been a massive change in the Heroes Association in Charity.

Chris reached 9-Star Hero Rank, and he is currently the Highest-Ranking Hero in Charity, his influence unrivaled.

But there is one who is even above him in terms of fame. It is Ariane; she reached 6-Star Hero Rank and is now widely known as Saintess of the West.

Charity's crime rate decreased, and it is the lowest it has ever been.

Heroes' standards in Charity also became higher; they have eight 8-Star Heroes, seventeen 7-Star Heroes, and twenty 6-Star Heroes.

But there is one thing Chris wanted to remove from the Charity, and it was the bottomless pit. It is currently impossible to remove, and there is also another thing... Jack became the Symbol of Injustice. Most of the Heroes evil deeds were brought out, and it became like a witch hunt.

Even in other countries, people started finding out about Heroes' evil deeds, and more and more Heroes were jailed or became Villains.

But something more major happened.

The war in Death Continent... Began.

It was mostly kept secret, but the war became so big that everyone in the end found out.

The 4 Continents who teamed up against Death thought it was an easy mission; they were very wrong.

Even getting in the Death Continent borders cost them over 1 million men and two Super-Star Heroes!

When they finally reached the Death Continent, their situation became even worse.

They couldn't even break through First Fortress!

The Battle of the First Fortress lasted 4 months! But the Alliance of the Continents didn't manage to break through, not even with the help of Hero-Star Heroes.

The first battle was a total failure, but the war didn't stop there.

Even after 4 years, it is still going.

Alliance has lost a lot in this war, but so has Death Continent.

Both sides haven't shown their strongest cards yet, and it seems like Death Continent is waiting for something or someone...

Lucifer and his Sins haven't made any moves, they are controlling the war from the shadows, and with their brilliant strategy, they managed to guard First Fortress.

Alliance forces have been hiding their trump card, Champion-Star Hero, the only one in Paradise who has reached the Mythical Realm.

There have been rumors that Lucifer has reached Demon-Moon Villain rank, but there have been no proofs... yet.

The War is only beginning, and the citizens support the Heroes with all their might and hope that the Heroes defeats the so-called Demons.

The Main Government of Kindness also received unexpected help.

From Raizo and the Villain Association.

Raizo and his 9 Fingers will be pardoned if they help with the war, and their proposition was accepted.

That news also came to the public, it gave mixed reactions from everyone, but this way - the Main Government can't back out from their deal.

After Villains Association joined ranks with Main Government, more and more Villains decided as well.

Some of the 8-Moon or 9-Moon Villains have already died in the War.

There have also been casualties within Villain Association...

The Third Finger Ank died in the hands of Disaster-Moon Villain from Death Continent.

But the one who killed Ank shortly died in the hands of Raizo.

Even at this moment, the war is happening.

...

Death Continent - First Fortress.

*CRASH*

*BOOM*

''ICE WORLD!'' Entity roared and froze thousands of soldiers from Death Continent.

From the First Fortress, a man with black hair pointed towards Entity and shouted, ''Sun's Death!''

A massive black-colored fireball appeared in front of the man and shot it towards Entity with a speed of 1500 km/h.

Entity leaped into the air, dodging the fireball, but the shockwave of the attack made Entity fly a few kilometers away from the First Fortress.

The man snorted, and the black flames disappeared from his body.

He is Commander of First Fortress, Calamity-Moon Villain - Black Death.

He is the main reason why the Alliance forces haven't managed to break through.

It is also because of the cunning strategy of Lucifer and rest, but with the strength of Black Death, he managed to hold this Fortress all by himself.

He has been staying in the Fortress for 4 years! Fighting every single day.

''RAA!'' The soldiers yelled on the battlefield, and countless soldiers died every second.

Everywhere in a 5-kilometer radius, there are soldiers. Soldiers from Alliance are trying to get rid of the Death Continent soldiers so that their heroes have an easier time approaching the Fortress.

But Death Continent's soldiers' average strength was way higher! They have been preparing for this war for over 200 years! Countless generations have been training since birth.

''Commander!'' An anxious sound came from the bottom of the Fortress.

Black Death turned his head.

''Commander! King Lucifer is calling you!'' The soldier shouted.

Black Death nodded and landed effortlessly on the ground; he went towards a nearby building and grabbed the phone.

''Yes, King.'' Black Death said respectfully.

A sound came from the phone, but only Black Death heard it.

''I understand, King.'' Black Death said, and the phone call got disconnected.

Black Death turned his head towards exhausted soldiers and shouted, ''ONE MORE MONTH!''

''YEAAAAA!'' The soldiers instantly became more energetic!

They have been in Fortress for 4 years, away from their families, from their wives, and away from their children.

Every day they could die, and now they need to survive one more month.

Black Death leaped back to the top of the Fortress; he looked at the incoming soldiers from Alliance.

He was starting to feel more relaxed, but then... Something unimaginable happened.

''COMMANDER, LOOK!''

Black Death looked towards the distance and narrowed his eyes.

The dead soldiers suddenly started moving! Their bones cracked, and like dolls, they stood up; their faces were pale and dead-looking.

The soldiers from Death Continent weren't frightened, they had hardened their emotions a long time ago, but this sight is creepy even to them.

Black Death looked towards the distance and saw a lonely-looking middle-aged man walking while being surrounded by the previous dead soldiers.

''Godly Assassination Association's Chairman... The man who can bring dead back to the living... Calamity-Moon Villain, Necrovon!'' Black Death said.

Necrovon was a pale-looking man with long white hair and exhausted-looking eyes. He was a tall man with a height of 200cm and a very skinny body, his bones almost visible.

Necrovon pointed his finger towards the Fortress, and instantly the thousand dead-looking soldiers around him started running towards the fortress, killing every soldier in front of them.

He was currently working with Main Government, and he gets pardoned if he helps to defeat the First Fortress; usually, it would be unimaginable for Necrovon's crimes to be pardoned because there were thousands of them!

He was one of the scariest individuals but also one of the strongest in the entire Paradise.

His dead-looking soldiers killed everyone on sight, even the Alliance soldiers; he didn't care; the more people died, the more soldiers he got.

The soldiers who died at the hands of Zombies stood up as well and started running towards the fortress; they became zombies as well.

''RETREAT TO THE FORTRESS!'' Black Death shouted.

Death Continent soldiers instantly ran back to the Fortress.

Black Death now could see the amount of Zombies; there were already over 5000!

He pointed his finger towards the Zombies and said, ''Begone.''

''Death of Undying!'' Black smoke left Black Death's body and surrounded the battlefield.

Once the Zombies touched it, they became normal corpses once again, but this time their corpses started rotting with visible speed.

Soon the 5000 Zombies fell down on the ground, and only Necrovon was left.

Necrovon smirked and snapped his fingers.

*Snap*

Soon the 5000 Zombies again stood up; their bodies were still rotting and flesh melting away.

But that was not all.

Hands started appearing from the ground, and from there, Zombies crawled, increasing the amount of Zombies significantly.

Now there were over 20,000 Zombies, and all of them started running towards First Fortress.

Black Death didn't change his expression; he again waved his hand, ''Death of Undying.''

Soon the 20,000 Zombies fell down on the ground lifelessly.

Necrovon smirked and started snapping fingers.

*Snap*

*Snap*

*Snap*

The Zombies stood up creepily, but they didn't move.

Black Death looked towards the distance; he narrowed his eyes and saw tens of thousands of Zombies running.

Previously there were only 20,000 Zombies, but now.... There is 120,000!
