Chapter 1122 Facing Rokarn's Army
With everyone now ready, Shiro opened a portal to the space station and transported everyone away from Asharia.
Looking out the window of the station, those that had never gone to space couldn't help but watch in awe.
Despite all the harm that had befallen the planet in the last few months, it was still a beautiful sight to behold.
"It's beautiful." Li Jian muttered as this was the place that he's been trying to protect with his hidden sect.
"It is. And Rokarn seeks to destroy it. Let's stop that from happening." Shiro smiled as Li Jian nodded his head.
Waving her hand, masks appeared in front of everyone.
"These are the masks that will keep you alive out there. They each have their own charge of Grace but it's only one charge. It won't activate until all other charges of Grace have been used up, it also doubles as a tracker so that I can teleport you back should anything happen. Unlike Earth, if you get hit hard, you will drift into the dark beyond. If I don't have this tracker, I don't know if I can find you again so you must keep it on. If it breaks or fractures, you can insert some mana and it'll fix itself." Shiro explained while putting on a mask herself.
"The main station housing the 20 charges of Grace will be camouflaged so don't worry too much if you see one of the weapon stations being destroyed. They're mostly decoys. There isn't much else to say other than I hope that everyone will keep their guard up." Shiro smiled as they all nodded.
Putting on masks, Shiro led them to the airlock and closed the door.
"In space, just fly as usual. But you don't need as much mana to propel yourself. Too much and you'll go flying, just remember that. Try to adapt first before going full power."
Giving them one last reminder, Shiro opened the hatch just as the barrier surrounding the moon faded.
Seeing the countless portals that opened up, the party couldn't help but swallow their saliva nervously while Syradil could feel her blood pumping in excitement.
"God Slayer! I have given you enough time to prepare! Are you ready to face my army?!" Rokarn's voice boomed out as they could see a giant illusionary figure clad in black armour towering over all of them.
Without hesitation, Shiro released her own aura as golden lights wrapped around everyone.
"While I do wish I had more time Rokarn, this will be your burial ground. I've slain gods before and you too shall fall to my blade!" Shiro shouted back.
Summoning Silvanis, golden runes appeared on the blade as a red aura erupted from her body. Pulling back her arm, she slashed towards the portal and destroyed tens of them in a single swing.
"Charge!" Shiro shouted out as both Li Jian and Koji dashed forward.
Tier 6 magic circles wrapped around their body as black and gold armour materialised around them.
Summoning his sword, Koji looked towards the army that was spilling forth from the portals like black mist. The sheer number dwarfed any war he was part of in his prime.
'Darling, I'll look after our daughter in this fight. If they wish to slay her, they'll have to do so after killing me.' Koji thought to himself as he took a deep breath.
"FACE ME YOU MONSTROSITIES!" A pulse of energy exploded out as all of them turned towards him.
Charging forth, energy condensed towards his sword.
Conjuring up his avatar, he swung his sword and cleaved a bloody path through the ranks before the blade was stopped by a muscular monster that wielded two giant axes.
"Don't get too eager now! It'll be more work for the Silvia lass to keep us alive!" Li Jian shouted out as he dashed along Koji's blade.
Materialising an avatar for himself, he carried a greatsword on his back while golden energy wrapped around his fist.
Punching out, an oriental dragon shot out and slammed into the body of the Berserker. Swallowing him, the dragon continued to ravage through the ranks before exploding in a shower of energy that burned anything it touched.
With the two of them leading the charge, Silvia was given more than enough time to finish her chant.
Slamming her staff down, hundreds upon hundreds of tier 6 magic circles appeared around her as the party was powered up by her buffs.
From the distance, the mages of Rokarn's armour launched spells towards her but before they could hit, Revel intercepted its course.
Blocking it with his wing, lightning surged through his body.
"FEAR ME! FOR I AM THE STORM LEVIATHAN! HEAR MY THUNDER AND QUIVER!" Revel roared as lightning shot out from his body.
*BANG!!!!!!
In a single instant, a large chunk of Rokarn's army was incinerated before the gap was refilled.
"B*tch please, when were serpents and dragons better than Phoenixes. You see dragons all the time but when do you see someone like me?" Yin laughed as she flew high into the sky.
Black energy wrapped around her body as a set of wings unfurled themselves.
[The Lord of Gluttony reveals herself.]
Seeing the system notification, many within the ranks of Rokarn's army felt their hearts stop as there were few who would warrant a notification such as this. Seeing the giant form of the phoenix reveal herself, they could not react before darkness swallowed them.
*KI!!!!!!
Letting out a cry, shadows swallowed monster after monster, turning them into streams of energy that surged towards Yin who's aura grew with each kill.
Behind her, Lisandra appeared with her wings unfurled and two golden swords in her hand.
"Normally I would tell you to eat less big sis but this is a banquet!" Lisandra laughed as her lips curled up into a smile.
Transforming into an orb of light, her figure enlarged. Giant angelic wings unfurled behind her as some were black but it created a strange balance. Yin and Yang, darkness and light.
One of Lisandra's swords was black like the void while the other was radiant like the sun.
Combining both into a greatsword, she cleaved through the army like a butcher. Whenever one of the units was about to explode, a needle would suddenly appear in their place, halting their self destruction.
With everyone revealing their flashy moves, Shiro controlled the battlefield and allowed no harm to reach her allies.
Her eyes darted from place to place, analysing and reacting to every little thing that happened.
Besides her, Misu had her eyes closed. Tier 6 magic circles stacked on top of one another as howling souls swirled around her.
Usually, she would avoid having to go such lengths with her power. After all, she used to be a cleric. Summoning the undead was considered heresy.
However, if committing heresy means saving the peace that Shiro had brought to the millions of people that live in Asharia, she was ok with that.
Slamming her hand down, black and green mist exploded out with her in the centre. Within this mist, the souls slowly faded away before being resurrected as Skeletons or powerful undead such as liches.
"Heed my word army of the dead, charge forth and bring an end to the living." Misu commanded coldly as black runes engraved themselves onto their bodies, wiping out their consciousness so that she could use their souls for the power they hold.
With an undead army now following behind them, the numbers were slowly balancing out.
Watching everything happen, Rokarn still had a frown on his face.
The God Slayer was not performing as he had expected.
When he sent the army, he had hoped to see a hail of holy fire that shredded everything to pieces. He so dearly hoped that he would see her former radiance but he was left disappointed.
"Show me your power God Slayer! Or else I will consume all in chaos!" Rokarn shouted out.
Summoning his greatsword, a tier 8 magic circle appeared above the battlefield as a magnified version of his blade slammed down towards Yin.
*BANG!!!!!!
Crashing against a barrier that Shiro created, Yin took this time to get out of the way.
*PING!!
Shattering to pieces, the barrier didn't even last a second as the blade slammed into Misu's undead army, slaying those that had died for a second time only for them to reconstruct themselves.
Meanwhile, cold sweat dripped down Shiro's face as Rokarn's attack had almost reached her through the mana she used to construct that blade.
Had she kept it up for longer, a sword wound would no doubt appear on her chest.
"Silvia, give me and Syradil a buff, we're charging in." Shiro ordered as Silvia nodded her head.
Closing her eyes, she started to chant her strongest buff while Shiro dashed besides Syradil.
"Let's go."
Without saying anything, Syradil transformed herself into a flaming dragon while Shiro activated her Soul Maiden skill.
Using the element of fire, the two charged through the army unhindered as one of Rokarn's commanders appeared before the two of them.
