Chapter 23 How To Drive A Knight Mad
Chapter 23 How To Drive A Knight Mad
The humans on the farms knew that even the kingdom won't be able to charge this sort of weapon more than two times before they ran out of Mana crystals!!
A communication circle appeared at Floid's ear and he heard Rizis voice echoing out to him.
"At your order, master. The weapons are ready,"
Floid squeezed his hand down on the balcony railing to stop his smile from breaking too wide! He was too excited! Calm down, Floid! Floid said this to himself but he couldn't even calm down a little as he immediately spoke.
"Fire,"
A great humming sound louder than anything that Floid has ever heard before echoed out through the entire field before the two cannons turned towards the army in the distance and fired! A gigantic blast of pure energy flew out from the cannons and flew right towards the army!
....
Ignorant of their fate, Aura and her army were still in high spirits as they moved toward the demon castle. When Aura saw Pyra standing in their way, she smiled. She was happy that there was at least one demon here! And it is an orc! Orcs are usually very strong so if I bring this woman's head back to the castle then I will get even more praises! Aura didn't know a thing about what was coming for them!
She brought out her sword from the scabbard and prepared to charge for Pyra when she heard a loud sound echo through the entire valley! Aura was still far from the castle so she didn't know what the sound was! She looked around and wondered if there was some sort of explosion that just happened!
Ha. If only she knew! This cannon was about to ruin her whole career!
Ka-Boom!!!!!!
Aura was standing a little bit far from her army since she was leading them so she was lucky enough to not get caught in the explosion. But the entire thing was a shock to her! She was just walking towards victory at one moment and at the next moment, Aura suddenly felt intense heat against her back and the screams of her comrade echoed in her ear!
Aura turned around slowly with wide eyes and a frightening shadow fell upon her face when she saw the absolute carnage that has become of her army!! What the hell is this!? They were all dead!! Out of the three thousand that she brought here with her, not even a hundred remained! The cannon created a wide circular explosion that killed everything inside that circle! Only a few lucky people that were outside the circle managed to escape the attack!
Aura came down from her horse and slowly trekked into the middle of the circle of dead bodies. It was a lie! She was in a fever dream! That is the only explanation that Aura could give for this sort of thing!
This is meant to be her moment! This is supposed to be her victory! She is supposed to use these men to take over the demon's castle and increase her reputation! So what is this!? Who can even do something like this!? It didn't even take a second for them to die!!
Tap! Tap! Tap! Tap!
Bam!
Squelch!!
The sounds of footsteps behind her made Aura look back. She saw Pyra moving towards them at last. Pyra rose her mace and brought it down on the head of a man there. The man tried to stop the mace with his shield, but the mace easily broke through the shield and squashed him to human paste!
Just like that, Pyra kept on moving through the remaining survivors like a phantom. She picked up the pace and started to run for each of them! The humans were realising that this was not a battle they could win and they were trying to escape! Pyra couldn't have them do that! Not one of them can survive! She has to show good results to her master!
Pyra ran through the numbers of remaining survivors and caught them like they were pokemon! Just a smash to the head was enough to make any of them go and meet their ancestors! The humans there ran and ran, but Pyra would not even give them a chance to go far! While all of this was happening, Aura just stood and watched. She brought her hand up and looked at it with dazed eyes.
This is a dream. There is no way this is rea! Her army of three thousand. They are being killed like ants. Ha! Hahahahaha!! Hahhahahhahahahhahah!!! A dream! A dream! This is definitely a dream!!
Aura went mad from the shock of it all. Just the thought of this being real made her lose herself and she decided that this had to be a dream! Pyra heard the laughter coming out from Aura and she frowned in disgust. Is this all it takes to break a member of the human army?
She was stalking after a man that was trying to crawl away and she finally decided that she was bored of him. He stretched his hand out to the distance and tried to grab onto a weapon, but Pyra just brought her mace down on his head and a loud 'Squelch!' echoed through the valley!
Once she was done here, Pyra finally went towards the mad knight! Aura was still looking down at her hand and wondering if this was all a dream! She heard footsteps coming her way and she turned to see Pyra walking towards her! Pyr was covered in blood from head to toe! Even her mace was bathed in blood!
Aura frowned! This is the woman that caused all of this! Is she the one that put me in this dream? Then I have to kill her right? Yes, I have to kill her! Aura brought her feet back and put her hand on her sword and Pyra was surprised. Pyra didn't think that Aura would even have the mental capacity to know that she was about to die.
"Are you the one that started this dream? If I kill you then the dream will end?"
"I have no intention of entertaining your madness, worm. Just die for master,"
Pyra rose her mace into the sky and brought it down on Aura but she was shocked when Aura dodged it! Aura frowned as she ducked under the mace before shooting towards Pyra! She has to kill this woman to end this dream! She has to wake up!
Clang!
Aura's sword flew out of her scabbard with lightning speed and it made a loud sound as it collided against Pyra's mace! Pyra still had that blank face as she defended against Aura! She felt Aura pull back to try and make Pyra unbalanced, but Pyra managed to flow with the move and dodge the slash that Aria sent at her! Pyra and Aura danced around the field of blood as Aura tried her best to cut down Pyra and Pyra just kept on dodging!
No matter how you look at it, Aura is an SS class knight! Even if she is completely lost in her madness, that will not take away from her skills at all! She was able to survive this long against Pyra and that is already extremely impressive! But Pyra was not someone that an ordinary knight can challenge!
All this time, Pyra has only been dodging the attacks that Aura sent at her! She hasn't sent an attack because she was a little shocked at the intensity that Aura was using. It was like Aura was a mad dog fighting for its life! But Pyra was done playing around!
Clang! Clang! Clang! Bam!!
It only took four blows!
