Chapter 457: The sword of Clan Adrasteia.
"That's bad, my father has hurt their egos, and now they are attacking with more intensity. If it continues like this, they could reach our village..." The Alpha's son muttered as he looked at the images of the fight.
"...I have no choice, I will release types 4, 5, and 6." He clicked a few times on the strangely futuristic yet medieval console, and soon the image of various sleeping monsters was seen.
The first type of monster was a bipedal monster covered in dark green scales, it had large wings, and its sharp claws had a 'liquid' dripping from them. On top of the cage was written in the native language.
[PREDATOR] Type 4
The second monster looked like a centipede, they were massively large, totaling 30 meters long.
On top of his cage was written the name:
[HUNTER] Type 5
In the last cage was a four-armed gorilla. He was 10 meters tall, horns were protruding from his head, and four golden green eyes could be seen.
On top of his cage was written the name:
[DESTROYER] Type 6
"Luckily, my rank is high enough, or I'd have one of the Gods tracking me right now..."
Looking at Type 7's cage, the Alpha's son bit his lip.
"It's a pity I didn't post it high enough to release this little beauty..." He sighed a little, then turned to look elsewhere and saw his father flying on top of one of those abominations.
"I hope you stay alive, Father."
Soon the Alpha's son clicked the button to release the cage.
And the moment the cage opened, the deafening roar of the monsters was heard.
...
"Thanks for the food..." Judy burped a little.
"That attack remains ridiculous as ever." Juliet muttered as she unleashed arrows of power at the monsters.
"Yeah, but it's a shame I can't use it often." She spoke as her transformation wore off, while her deagles returned to normal, and everyone could see small flaws in the weapon, the weapon itself was hyperventilating a little.
Proof that the weapon couldn't handle Judy's power output.
"The blacksmith will be angry when he sees this." Judy muttered.
"Yes..."
"How many times can you use that until the weapon breaks?" Rose asked.
"I can only use it twice more." Judy replied.
"Save it in case another Behemoth horde appears or some superior monster appears."
"Commander Rose, think they will send higher level monsters?"
"It's likely... As long as a Titan Class doesn't show up, we'll be fine, I guess..."
"Do you think so? It's rare to see you in doubt."
"I don't have a choice, okay? With that man in the group, our range of actions has been amplified by a very large margin, and it is even unfair to the range of this man's powers." Rose commented while frowning and looked towards the clouds.
Rumble, Rumble, Rumble!
Judy looked at the sky in the distance that was more active than usual, suddenly she heard Victor's voice:
"Kirin!"
ROAAAAAAAAAR!
A thunderous roar was heard by everyone, and when they looked up to the sky, they saw the large head of a lightning demon beast descending to the ground in the midst of the monsters.
"What the fuck…"
"This man is ridiculous..." Julieta spoke her honest thoughts.
"Well, all Vampire Counts have attacks that can destroy a small country. They wouldn't be called walking atomic bombs if they didn't have that kind of power."
"Wrong, wrong, I can cause that kind of destruction too-..." Judy was going to say that she didn't fall behind in terms of destruction, but Rose interrupted by saying:
"The terror of Vampire Counts is that these powers of mass destruction don't make them very tired."
"...."
BOOOOOOOM!
When the attack hits the ground, more than 80% of the Minions are eliminated.
"See?" Rose laughed when she saw Judy and Juliet's shocked eyes.
'This power is not part of the Fulger Clan's techniques, that is... He created this technique himself.' Rose couldn't help but be surprised as she looked at Victor.
'So much potential... So much power... So strong...' She felt her insides contract a little.
'Maybe it's time for me to have a child?' She thought with a little blush, but soon her face darkened as she unconsciously heard a mad laugh: '... No, that's a bad idea. Scathach will kill me if I have a child with him before her... Maybe after her?'
Rose visibly shook her head.
'Stop thinking with your lower body! It leads nowhere!' She was a little embarrassed with herself now. She wasn't like that, okay? It's just that she had a high standard, just like all strong older female Vampires, and that man served her every interest.
Not to mention he wasn't arrogant like most male Vampires.
"Ugh." She grumbled to herself and forced herself to withdraw those thoughts.
"Tsk, annoying pest." Victor muttered when he saw that the monsters were regenerating, but that was what he wanted. He wanted to disable them all, so the rest was easier.
Disappearing from the clouds, he appeared on the battlefield, and with the Odachi in his hands, he assumed an IaiJutsu stance.
And at inhuman speed, it sliced around him.
A second passed.
Two seconds passed.
Three seconds passed.
Soon time returned to normal, and all the monsters that were hit by his old attack were cut in half. Then, in the next second, cuts appeared all over the monsters' bodies.
"..." Now it was Rose's turn to be shocked. She didn't see anything. Just how fast did he move now?
'Actually, he didn't even move? How does this attack work?'
Victor suddenly turned his face to the side, and he saw another horde approaching, Minions, Ogres, Behemoths, and aerial monsters.
"Just how many monsters do they have? This is getting ridiculous." Victor was seriously cutting off the possibility of these monsters being produced by normal means. There's no way that's natural.
"Hmm?" Victor looked even further and saw another horde of monsters.
"What the fuck is that?"
"A gorilla? A centipede? And a horde of invisible bipedal monsters."
The warnings in Victor's head went wild as he looked at the gorilla and the centipede, his instinct screaming danger with those two monsters.
"Girls, two hordes are coming!"
"A horde of minions, ogres, and Behemoths, and the second Horde is Predators, and a gorilla monster, and a bipedal monster-." Victor suddenly stopped talking when the Gorilla suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Wha-" He quickly tried to run away. With his reaction and speed, it should have been easy, but he found he couldn't move.
BOOOOOOOOOM!
"Victor!?"
"I'm fine, worry about the Alpha, he's here!" Victor spoke as he looked at the Alpha, who was behind the centipede, ignoring the injuries on his body that had already started to heal, as his attention returned to the gorilla.
ROAAAAAAAAAR!
"What monster is this!?" Ju
The four-armed gorilla roared towards Victor.
Having a 10 meter monster suddenly disappear left all the girls shocked.
"Girls regroup now, two new types of monsters have appeared, and a predator horde is on the way!" Rose ordered as she looked into the distance. She didn't have Victor's ability to see longer distances, mostly because of the trees blocking her view, but she could see the giant centipede, and Victor's warning was very clear.
"Yes." Eleanor's group quickly ascended to the skies and drove away from the horde.
The gorilla hit his chest twice, suddenly disappeared from where he was, and appeared next to Victor.
"What the fuck-" Victor again found himself unable to move, which was ridiculous since he could move many times the speed of sound in this form.
Yet he can't move.
BOOOOOOOOOOOM!
Another fist hit Victor's body, and he sank into the earth.
Cough.
'What's up? He's not moving, and the feeling is the same when Natalia uses her powers. He's jumping in space... Teleportation? And when he gets close to me, I can't move. It's like time has stopped...' Victor's eyes widened.
RUMBLE, RUMBLE.
Forcing his body, he disappeared from the ground and appeared on the surface again.
Deciding to test his thoughts, he points his palm at the gorilla.
RUMBLE!
Lightning shot out of Victor's hand and flew towards the gorilla, and the next moment something strange happened, the lightning stopped in midair.
Victor observed this strangeness.
'The lightning has not stopped, it is moving, but only very slowly...'
Again the gorilla disappeared, but Victor would not fall for the same trick again.
RUMBLE, RUMBLE.
He disappeared, leaving streaks of lightning behind.
'Let's learn about you, monster.' Victor's smile was huge. How could he not be happy? A worthy opponent was in front of him.
Victor appeared behind the gorilla, and when he was going to attack, the gorilla suddenly disappeared and appeared with his body facing Victor.
Victor quickly disappeared again.
'His reaction time is very good, and even in this incredibly slow world, I feel like he can watch me...'
While Victor was fighting a troublesome opponent.
The girls weren't idle.
"Eleonor, make the terrain difficult. We can't deal with them in the open." Rose spoke as she watched Victor and the gorilla fight.
'A monster capable of dealing with the Fulger Clan bloodline... And to think that these monsters could evolve so ridiculously.' In Rose's vision, the only thing that appeared was a streak of lightning and the gorilla teleporting around, trying to hit that streak.
A high-speed fight and space manipulation were taking place there.
"Yes!"
Eleanor put her greatsword on her back and clapped her palms together.
"Creation!"
QUAKE, QUAKE, QUAKE.
An earthquake, even more ridiculous than the previous one, began to hit these lands.
"It's coming, it's coming! The city is coming!" Dorothy was quite excited.
"Shut up, Dorothy, let Eleonor concentrate." Alexa spoke
Using the previous pillars as supports, a structure began to be created underground.
Stone pillars were coming out of the ground, trees were destroyed, stones, minerals, everything was being changed, and the land was being molded to Eleanor's will!
Eleanor opened her blood red eyes:
"Order: The city of Babylon."
FUSHHHHHHHHHH!
An entire structure came out of the ground towards the surface, a castle designed for defense, wrong. An entire city designed for defense.
"Hahhhh..." Eleanor took a long breath as she collapsed towards the ground, but Rose quickly grabbed her arm.
"Valkyries, spread out, take up your posts. It's time for a defensive war."
"Yes!" x5
The Valkyries disappeared at close range and spread across the city while they assumed their stance as if they were used to the sight.
"...Ugh, this technique is still very taxing..." Eleanor looked paler than usual, completely worn out.
"Rest a little."Eleanor dropped and sat on the floor.
"I'll take care of her, Rose, deal with them." Anrietha, who was the only Valkyrie left, spoke as she pointed at the approaching horde of Minions, Ogres, and Behemoths.
"No, I need to deal with predators. If they invade the city, the situation will be confusing." Rose spoke as she slowly withdrew her sword from her waist sheath.
"... That's true." Anrietha spoke after some thought, then she crouched close to Eleanor and began to heal her fatigue.
When Rose withdrew the sword from its scabbard, her whole atmosphere changed, as a thin, sharp aura began to emanate from her body.
With her long burgundy hair floating in the wind, Rose looked at the group of Predators, and even though they were invisible, she knew they were there since she could hear their footsteps.
Rose was now a sword… A sword with a single purpose. To slash her enemy.
Identifying her enemy, her burgundy eyes were slowly turning a dangerous red.
She took a step, and disappeared.
She appeared on the city wall.
The second step, she appeared on a Behemoth's head.
On the third step, she appeared behind the first horde.
And, on the fourth step, she appeared in the path of the Predators and the giant centipede.
"Rose Adrasteia… Will you fight alone? Aren't you being arrogant?" The Alpha asked in disdain. Had she forgotten what happened earlier?
"Three moves..."
"Huh...?"
"Three moves is all it takes to wipe your existence from the face of this planet..."
Veins bulged in the Alpha's head, and soon a high-pitched noise was heard.
The order was clear.
Kill that bitch!
"First move..."
Rose's face was serene, so she spoke while casually swaying vertically:
"...Dawn."
.
.
.
"... Was something supposed to happen-"
FUSHHHHHHHHH.
As if the law of physics was overdue to record what happened, the air, the land, the clouds, and everything in the area Rose used her technique was cut horizontally.
Everything, nothing was spared.
More than half of all predators were gone!
'...This is bullshit...Isn't this on the level of our gods?' He spoke while looking at the monsters that were cut. The cut was clean, not even the blood was coming out, as if the body had not registered that it was separated. It was only a few seconds after the body fell to the ground that the blood started to flow out.
'Only that group can do techniques of this level, and to make matters worse, she doesn't even look tired!'
Rose took a step back, and something hit the air in front of her.
She took a step to the right, and the air seemed to be 'cut'.
She took a step to the right, and the situation repeated itself.
'She's dodging the attack as if anticipating them! This is ridiculous!'
"Second move..." She whispered as she dodged several acidic needles coming from the centipede.
She stepped back and appeared a little ways away from the Horde.
She swings her sword horizontally.
"... Hesperus."
Just like before, the world seemed to have a delay in registering what happened, but unlike the previous time, Rose didn't wait and simply appeared in front of the Alpha.
"Third move..."
'There's still more!?" The Alpha's skin started to heat up and attacked Rose's face.
Rose turns her face to the right a little and dodges the attack.
At that same moment, Rose's previous attack was registered by the world, and an air pressure exploded, killing predators, centipedes, trees, and earth.
Everything was cut horizontally, even a mountain several kilometers away had been cut in half.
Feeling a bad feeling, he quickly tried to do something, or he would die.
"...Nightfall."
This time, the Alpha couldn't even see Rose's sword swing, he couldn't register anything.
The only thing he thought before his existence, and the existence of all predators and centipedes literally disappeared, is that these invaders were just too ridiculous.
...
