Chapter 387 - Fighting the army of Great Astley Empire

Seven kilometers away from the barrier around the Listen Wastes...

A group of three people was looking at the gigantic barrier that enclosed the whole country.

The man at the center has a short black messy hair. He was wearing a white shirt and black pants. Also, there was a grey colored fur coat hanging on his shoulder. Even though the wind was strong the coat didn't fell off on his shoulder. Well, it was because his mana wasn't letting it fell easily.

At the back of his fur cloak, a lion symbol was carved into it. It was a symbol of the Zodiac Leo. This man was one of the most wanted criminals in the whole world. The Zodiac Leo.

"So the demons have finally arrived..."

He muttered as he grabbed the mask above his head and put it on his face.

The two beside him were an old man and a beautiful woman who looked like she's in her mid-twenties.

The old man was wearing a butler suit. He had white hair, beard, and mustache which was trimmed perfectly. He had a collar on his neck.

"A war already started. The demons already sent out a god-level powerhouse. But why did they suddenly launch an attack without even talking to the people of this continent." The old man said as he c.a.r.e.s.sed his beard.

"Not just here, they've also arrived on the God's Continent. The powerful forces there such as Olympus, Heavenly Palace, and Asgard started to move." The woman said to the old man. She was wearing a tight brown pants with chains around it. On her upper body was a white long sleeve partnered with a leather jacket. Black and red linings were present on the surface of her jacket and it seems like it was pulsing.

"Just what is the goal of these demons. They surprisingly launched a very violent attack the moment the great barrier weakened." Leo said as he closed his eyes.

The woman looked at him and asked, "What are you going to do?"

"I'm going to gather the rest of the Zodiacs and start my plan but before that, I want to see the little goblin that I've found in the Hebrei Kingdom," Leo replied to her.

"The one you're talking about. The goblin who knew soul arts?" The woman raised her eyebrows.

"Yes, I want to know the details of soul arts. It will greatly help me in realizing my dream." Leo said as he lifted his head and looked at the sky.

...

Boom!

The entire Blackrock City experienced a powerful earthquake. Everything shook heavily as if it were going to collapse.

"What's happening?!"

Souta narrowed his eyes as he balanced himself. Isabella and Lydia were surprised too. They didn't think that this would happen and it interrupted their conversation.

'Several mana fluctuations suddenly appeared in the city. Be careful, I can sense hostility from them.' Saya's voice sounded in his mind.

"Enemies?! They are here." Souta said as his mana burst out of his body. He then crashed through the ceiling of the room and went to the sky.

Boom!

Lydia followed him too as she released her mana and jumped into the sky.

Isabella just simply turned her head to Yuko. She couldn't follow the two because she knew that her strength was still lacking. She couldn't do that.

Souta and Lydia were on top of the mansion. They were looking at the south part of the city where there's a huge pillar of light that pierced the sky.

"Just what is that thing?"

Souta muttered while narrowing his eyes. He felt ominous just by looking at the pillar of light.

"That's a transportational gate that I'm talking about. That will help you go to another world."

"If that's here then I'm sure that an army will come out of it."

Souta said as he glanced at her.

"Yes, it's the reinforcement. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers will come out of it. Just how unlucky am I? To think that this would appear here out of all the places in the world."

Lydia said while gritting her teeth in frustration.

"Oh? That's really a problem. Hundreds of thousands of enemies can pose a problem to me. It's the reason why I haven't gone straight to Condifan Empire." Souta was amused while looking at the pillar of light. "They had a huge advantage in terms of numbers but we had a huge advantage in terms of individual strength so why do you think will win, Lydia?"

"Stopped playing, Souta. Can you see the people in this city are panicking? We have to do something." Lydia said as she looked around. "We couldn't protect all of them at this time. We had to deal hundreds of thousands of enemies at the same time."

After a few moments, three huge sh.i.p.s came out of the pillar of light. Gigantic metals objects were floating in the sky above the city. It was made using magecraft combined with science.

It was floating because it had a flying spell or floating spell. It was a combination of different spells that made it like this. Using a battery that was filled with mana as a fuel to all the spells inside it makes it easier to sense and detect.

Souta narrowed his eyes as he felt the large amount of mana coming from the three giant sh.i.p.s.

"It's time to fight..."

He muttered in a serious tone as he slowly pulled out the vajra sword from its sheath. Fighting hundreds of thousands of soldiers wasn't easy and he understood it. That's why he will seriously fight this time without holding back.

Shiing!!

The sh.i.p.s in the sky opened its door and a large number of people wearing black armor with red linings came out of it. They landed on the ground with a loud "thud" sound.

Souta gathered his mana on the blade of his sword and he swung it.

[Crimson Moon]!!

A red slash flew out of his sword. It shoots straight towards the ship in the center but before it could hit the ship, a force field appeared and blocked the red slash.

Boom!

"Oh? It blocked my attack..." Souta raised his eyebrows when he saw this. He should've expected this to happen. The ship was huge and was an easy target so they have placed a barrier to protect it from any attack.

Cannons appeared on the lower part of the three sh.i.p.s. It seems that it noticed Souta and Alice who were standing on the top of the mansion so it aimed those cannons at them.

The cannons fired huge white beams at them. A loud sound erupted as it tore the winds and flew towards the mansion at a very high speed.

"Yuko, protect Isabella," Souta said in a loud voice as he jumped in the air. Lydia jumped to the side to avoid the white beams.

Boom!

The whole mansion exploded. Even the structures around it were caught in the explosion.

[Air Walk]!

Souta jumped in the mid-air and gathered his mana on his sword. He looked down at the three sh.i.p.s before he flew towards it.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

People wearing black armors still kept jumping off the three sh.i.p.s. Their numbers were so enormous that it surpassed the total population of this Blackrock City. An overwhelming number would destroy this city and Souta knew that he couldn't protect all of them.

So he should focus himself on killing the enemy as much as he could.

He landed on top of one of the tallest buildings in the city. It was one hundred meters away from the three sh.i.p.s and the enemies already spread in this area. He tightened his grip on his sword and slashed it.

[Crimson Moon]!

[Cross Moon]!

The buildings around him were cut into pieces along with the enemies. In that two attacks, he instantly killed more than a hundred enemies. They were too stacked up so it was easy to kill them using wide-range attack.

"Let's go down."

Souta muttered as he saw the three sh.i.p.s aimed their cannons at him once again. He jumped on the ground and faced the enormous numbers of enemies that were rushing forward.

"Ahhh!!"

The soldiers of the Great Astley Empire were rushing at him with a fearless expression. Their battle cry resounded in the whole area.

Souta pointed his sword at them and his mana fluctuated. A magic circle formed underneath his feet and a black ball of energy formed on the tip of his sword. The black energy spun widely like a whirlpool and sparks were appearing around it.

"Accept it."

[Dark Shooting Ray]!

The black energy contracted and when the enemies were closed to him, it expanded quickly and shoots a huge beam.

Boom!
