Chapter 15: War
The battle between the two kingdoms could be seen as nothing more than a bully, on one side hundreds had already been slayed and on the other side just 2 had been killed.
In the army of the winsberg's there were a few who stayed behind, they seemed to be circling around something or rather someone.
*Clang*
*Splash*
Swords collide blood flow it continued In the same pattern until a pound sound was heard, it came from one of the soldiers of Diastreia, holding the horn on his hand, the whole army fell back, regrouping to take a simple formation.
"What's this? is it a battle strategy, no matter! the outcome would still be the same. It seems the king was worried for nothing."The captain of the winsberg army said with a loud proud voice as the rest of the army cheered.
It was at that moment that they started to feel a tremendous amount of dark energy, those who had been in the palace that day had immediately recognize it, it was the Convoy of the Diastreia kingdom.
"Everyone stay calm! we can surely kill it if we walk together, it's just one of it!" The captain said giving most of the people who felt the mana motivation. The army of the Diastreia soon created a wide space as they separated their formation in two.
The dark energy soon began to gather at the centre as a gate formed from dark mana appeared, this alone gave the opposite army a bad feeling as they spotted the bony hands of a wraith push the door open revealing the domineering figure whose mana instantly enveloped the whole bloody plains.
"My god! is this real, I'm scared!"...
It wasn't over, the wraith who opened the door stood slightly beside it as If waiting for someone else, two figures soon walked out of the portal, they were no other than Lady Trisha and Sir Mikel. who inturn stood still after coming out before kneeling on one foot with their head straight up.
"What's this, who are they waiting for, who could it be....I can tell the person would be really powerful to have such a grand entrance." The army of Diastreia couldn't help but cower in fear as they watched the scene unfold.
It was at that moment that the last person finally revealed his presence to the crowds, he wore a silver long robe decorated with golden patterns with an insignia of a wolf and a fox forming a circle with a star at the middle, the purple necklace he wore on his neck reflected the rays if the blazing sunlight, with his pupils shinning with a silver blue reflection, his silver hairs followed the flow of the wind as he stood with a calm but dangerous aura around his body.
"That's it, he's just some teenage boy....oh right he must be the new king....Listen up folks! there's only one thing to fear in this battle and that's the undead bastard, so let's kill it and win this war."
"No!" A voice was heard from within the army, it was at this moment that the person who sat in the circle of soldiers finally came out, He had long red silky hairs like that of a woman reaching his waist length, twin coloured pupils as his left pupil was purple his right was blue, he wore a jet black robe with two silver stripes from top to bottom at the front while the insignia of a serpent with two sword crossed at it's head.
"For some reason, this so called teenage boy could very well be the one to end this war.... No matter what don't give up nor fear cause if you do." The man who was refered as Damian Lillard the strongest man in winsberg said while only ending his words half way.
With a synchronized pattern the whole Diastreia army fell on their kneels while greeting their king. "Greeting king Neil."....
...."Rise, you've all done well! I'll take it from here."

"Dark magic! Dark cloak." A thin layer of darkness enveloped the body of Neil, as his aura sky rocketed with dark pressure, this was the power of the level 4 dark magic, without using his own mana the force of the dark magic pressure could already send some on their knees.
A pair of wings formed directly of pure dark magic created by the dark cloak appeared at his back as he slowly took off into the air. "I king Neil played nice with a peaceful offer but you declined my offer and as such I won't play nice any more." Even without shouting his voice was heard all over the plains as every body who stood against him started to have a hint of fear on their hearts.
"you're still having hope of achieving victory because of your numbers? Then guess again! Dark magic full army of the undead." With that single sentence of his, the hint of fear in the minds of the soldiers erupted significantly as their whole body was shaking in fear for what happened right before their very eyes, An army of undead groups rose up from the soil, each group having their own significant trait and power levels, their sheer number alone was over three hundred thousand and that alone drove the army of winsberg out of their senses.
Even the captain of the army who was a platinum knight knew that in the strongest group of ten, only three could wipe out half their army.
"Seeing that I'm a man of honour and forgiveness those who surrender would join my army and be spared, those who do not will face instant death, this is an opportunity to redeem your self."

Swords could be heard dropping on the floor as people started to deviate from the army. "Don't loose focus! how can you trust the words of an enemy, stick with me people!" The captain cried out but it was to no avail at the end only a little more than one thousand were left standing behind the captain, he couldn't help but smile at those who stood by his side till the very end..

The force of the soul invasion was so powerful that everyone it was used on ended up dying.
"This guy is really a monster, just as I thought. for some reason he just got even more stronger... Nah I won't stress myself in battling him, from the aura he's releasing he might have surpassed me already maybe the same level with my dad!" Damian said to himself as a few was also able to hear.
"You have proven your loyalty to your nation and because if that, I shall end it quickly. Menace."
*Ding*
<Demonic unique skill: Level 3 Menace has been activated.
In that split second everyone but three people of the Winsberg nation died, there was a surprised look on his face after seeing that three actually survived but he soon shoved the thought aside to focus on the next feast.
<Soul of the dead, a powerful Dark magic that allows the caster to absorb the souls of the dead and turns it into spirit energy...The power of the spirit energy depends on how long the soul has been dead, and the power of the soul. Spirit energy can inturn be used in almost all things magic related such as, replenishing mana, levelling up skills, increasing mana capacity, increasing physical ability, enhancing weapon, forcefully bending the will of nature and most especially for the summoning of Spirits and Fairies.
Looking at the amount of dead bodies before him, a warm smile broke out from Neil's face as he casted the magic absorbing the souls of everyone present...
..."Once again, he has gotten stronger."
