Will of chaos

I always try to keep the number of victims to a minimum, luckily I managed to win in the first two cities without any innocent victims, but life is not a fairy tale where good always wins evil.

Unfortunately, we lost this battle, all we could do was see a city have its entire population killed, today we failed, but the fight is not over yet.

That Rogue said 5000 enemies are about to be summoned, plus we’re stuck here with them.

Even if we lost this battle, we still have a war to fight, if we are stuck here that means the enemies are also stuck with us and there are no more innocent people around to worry about.

While I was distracted with a lot of things going through my head, I get a slap in the face, when I look up I see it was Vanessa.

“I’m sorry for the slap, but you didn’t seem to be listening to what we were saying.” (Vanessa)

“I had a lot to think about, we were taken by surprise this time.” (I)

“We have to decide our next course of action, master.” (Ivan)

“First of all, we need a little more information.” (I)

“Rakan, do you know how long it will take for the summoning to end?” (I)

“Do you know how long the barrier around the city should last?” (I)

“Do you know the strength of the enemies being summoned?” (I)

“I need the answers to these three questions now.” (I)

“…” (Rakan) ．𝘦𝘵

“RAKAN!!!” (I)

“I’ll…I’ll check…” (Rakan)

Just from Rakan’s expression, I can see that it affected him greatly, these magic circles were things he worked on while in the hands of the Demons.

Rakan must be feeling responsible for what is happening, in his mind, the death of the population of this city must be his fault.

Unfortunately, I don’t have time to comfort him or explain that none of this is his fault, it will have to wait until we are all safe.

Rakan took ten minutes that seemed like an eternity in this situation before coming to talk to me after he had studied this magic circle for that long.

“The barrier will only last for 1 day, so it will be the least of our worries.” (Rakan)

“The magic circle has already started the summoning process, we have 30 minutes before the enemies appear.” (Rakan)

“Can you discover the strength of enemies?” (I)

“The summoning magic circle that was used is something they gave me 10 years to perfect, to use that specific magic circle one has to have a magic summoning skill, this is not a normal summon, they are force teleporting people that have been marked by the summoner thus far.” (Rakan)

“This sort of thing can be prevented if the target of the summon refuses to be summoned, but if that’s part of the enemy’s plans, then that possibility doesn’t exist this time.” (Rakan)

“The enemy’s strength will be below the summoner’s strength, at least that I can guarantee.” (Rakan)

“But how am I supposed to know this woman’s strength now that she’s dead?” (I)

“She had SS Grade strength, I could measure her strength by her reaction speed and speed, we were lucky she seemed to be out of mana since she was supposed to be specialized in magic.” (Elsari)

“With that then can we assume that the strength limit of the enemies will be Grade +S?” (Vanessa)

“Yes, even with that kind of giant ritual magic she wouldn’t be able to summon on top of her own skill, this magic ritual only served to increase the number that will be summoned.” (Rakan)

“What should we do now?” (Ivan)

“There are many enemies, but we have people who are individually stronger.” (I)

“We have no choice but to fight, if we don’t finish off these enemies then they can later unite with King Makari, if that happens it will be much harder to fight in the capital.” (I)

“We must take into account that King Makari must already be activating the capital city’s magic circle.” (Elsaris)

“That would take twenty days, as I said before the magic circle they are using to summon Dragons of Destruction is not something that simple to use, that’s why I wasn’t worried about them using it before as we would have time to do something, but against my expectations, they are doing it in this city…” (Rakan)

“How many days to travel from this city to the capital?” (I)

“Last time I looked at the map it would be 18 days by carriage, if we were to walk in a straight line as we have been doing then it would be around 14 or 15 days.” (Ivan)

“That’s not fast enough, considering he started a week ago after he heard about the second city we attacked, that leaves us with 14 days, so we’ll have to be stuck in that city for another 1 day, that leaves you with 13 days to reach the capital of Makari to stop the summoning.” (I)

“The enemy already knows about us, so let’s stop hiding and fly straight there, if we go through the sky it should be faster.” (Nix)

“It should take around 10 days.” (Ivan)

With that, we already have a plan that we will have to put into practice immediately after finishing here.

Now we have to focus on priority, we have to finish off the enemy who will be here in minutes.

“We don’t have much time, so let’s do what we can, in these moments of despair we must go back to the origins, the plan will be…” (I)

Pov of an Extremist Demon:

I was on my way to yet another business meeting where I would have to be surrounded by inferior races, until when I have to endure this humiliation.

As I complained once more in my mind the symbol on my shoulder lit up, at that moment an involuntary laugh came out of my mouth.

This is the invocation symbol that that Vampire woman left on me, it means that Makari’s 50-year plan is in place, I no longer need to worry about appearances or hide that I am against the current government.

I spread my wings and fly back to my house, I will take everything of value I own with me then I go to the meeting place, the others must do the same, we have a little over 40 minutes before we are sent to the Morror Continent.

It took me only twenty minutes to arrive, but it seems I was one of the last, most of my companions are already there, they are also arming themselves.

I go to a platoon leader to find out why they’re arming.

“Why is everyone arming themselves like this?” (I)

“In the last message we received from Makari, he said that the plan would start in 1 month from today, for him to be calling us ahead of schedule means something has happened.” (platoon leader)

“We were already hoping that at the moment of the final steps of our plan someone might notice what Makari was doing.” (I)

“Exactly, that’s why we’re getting ready in case we need to fight as soon as it appears.” (platoon leader)

“I’ll arm myself too.” (I)

“How many more to arrive?” (I)

“Should be a little over 230 to go, I hope they are out of the way of other people’s eyes, we don’t want them to know what we’re doing so fast.” (platoon leader)

“No matter if some find out, we have been preparing for decades for the forbidden rituals, we also have enough evil seeds.” (I)

“When the foolish government of those Demons who have forgotten our superiority as a race find out what we are doing and go to the Morror continent, it will be too late, they will no longer be able to fight against us.” (I)

“This is what we’ve waited 50 years for, our desire to bring the Demon race back to its place as rulers of all races is close.” (platoon leader)

After that conversation, I started to change clothes and put on armor and weapons that I haven’t used in over 20 years since I started working as a merchant to raise funds and materials for our cause.

After a long wait we all get ready when the symbol we carry in our bodies starts to light up brighter and brighter until a wave of energy covers us, none of us can resist as we let ourselves be enveloped in that energy.

Soon several magic circles appear on everyone’s feet and I feel something pulling me, I’m disoriented for a few seconds when I suddenly appear inside a room with the stench of Humans.

“Hahahaha… it worked… this must be the Morror continent.” (I)

I look at the ground where a dead corpse is, I smile and step on top of him making him turn to dust on my feet.

I break the window and go to the roof to get a better view of the surroundings.

“What is it?” (I)

I look around and am happy to see other of our companions appearing in the surroundings, but what caught my attention was the energy dome in the sky, I looked and realized that it covered the entire city.

“Is that a barrier?” (I)

I started to think about the reason for having a barrier around the whole city, but when I looked closer there was something written on top of the barrier.

“Enemies are inside the barrier.”

“…” (I)

When I understood the meaning I pulled out my two axes and started paying more attention to my surroundings.

Boom! Baaammm!!

BOOMM!!!

Soon I started to hear explosions, when I looked in the direction of the explosions I only saw the bodies of my companions on the ground, it was then that I saw another Demon walking on the street until a magic circle appeared at his feet, then bone spears came out of the ground killing him, I looked in another direction where I see a Vampire being crushed by tentacles that emerge from the shadows and I see a Demon that was flying down to the ground making a magic circle appear over his feet causing an explosion that shatters his body.

“BE CAREFUL, THERE ARE TRAPS EVERYWHERE!!!” (I)
