Will of chaos

Pov Templar of Light:

We’ve been waiting days on this tiny island, our supplies will only last a few more days before we need more.

I get up and see the thousands and soldiers occupying almost 70% of this island, staying so long in such a cramped place is not pleasant for anyone, but necessary to catch the Demon we seek.

When he was spotted and escaped pursuit we could see that he had escaped our troops there, so we gathered all the troops scattered across the Grimo Kingdom to decide what to do.

The chase and the attacks our troops made inside that city angered the Grimo Kingdom, especially when it was pointed out that the Heretic did not attack or cause damage at any time.

Because of that, we had to hire people to get information to come up with a better plan next time.

With the information we were able to gather from several suspicious individuals, we saw that in the city of Yrima a large ship arrived with the leader being someone of below average height, in addition, this leader completely hid his body and wore a mask.

The odds of it being him were high, plus this was days after his escape from the city where we’d last seen him.

Of all the places he’s been since before he came to the Grimo Realm that we are aware of, it wasn’t hard to speculate that he was heading towards the Dark Continent which must be his homeland.

That means he’s running away from us, because of that we went around the way to go to a point where he would have to pass to go to the Dark Continent, that’s why we’re on this island.

It’s been days since I’ve ordered scouts to gather information in case your ship is spotted, they’re spread out over miles, plus I keep a rotation to keep surveillance as long as possible.

In addition to me being the strongest being in charge, there are three weaker Templars, including the one who let him escape.

As we avoid passing through any city to avoid alerting him as we realize that he leads a larger group than we imagined, we use the skills of the Horses of Light, the armor of Light that the Holy Church granted us, and magic to allow us to fly above of the ocean, this saved us from having to face pirates or monsters while conserving our strength for the Demon Heretic we seek.

While I was lost in thought I see a faint flash coming from one direction and a smile forms on my face involuntarily knowing what it means.

“STAY READY!!!” (I)

“THE DEMON HAS BEEN FOUND, YOUR ORDERS ARE TO KILL HIM AND ALL THOSE WHO DARE RELATE TO SUCH EVIL CREATURES!!!” (I)

“KILL THE DEMON!!!!!!!”

“KILL THE HERETIC!!!!!!”

“FOLLOW ME TO EXPUNGE EVIL!!!” (I)

“IN THE NAME OF BALDR!!!” (I)

“IN THE NAME OF BALDR!!!!!!”

Pov Zenos:

All I wanted was to have a calm and relaxing trip, not long ago we left Yrima and while talking to Marcos to find out what we could expect from the trip, the idiot starts raising disaster flags talking about luck around me.

Unsurprisingly, at the same moment, he raised the flag the flash appeared in the sky followed by what I can imagine being the scream of one of the henchmen of the Church of Light.

As the glare subsides a bit I look in the direction from where I heard the scream, but what I found was a single soldier riding a horse that was standing in the sky as if there was an invisible platform there while its four legs were glowing with a light white.

Seeing him like this my first reaction was a relief.

“(What is this idiot doing here alone?)” (I)

“Will…” (I)

I look at the light that has almost completely disappeared and then at the idiot’s smiling face in the sky, finally understanding what was happening, he was a scout and Liz is now a warning to the others of where I am.

“But what’s going on?” (Marcos)

“What is a Soldier of the Church of Light doing here?” (Marcos) ．

“I think it might be an appropriate time to say that the entire Church of Light hates me and I’m a Heretic to them.” (I)

“You what!?” (Marcos)

“Besides, he’s probably not alone, so I think you’d better go find Rakan now to activate those ship defense spells.” (I)

“Master, vij9 something coming from the right.” (Nix)

I hear what Nix says and look to the right, with my excellent eyesight and with nothing to obstruct I was able to see a bright white cloud coming towards us, straining my vision I realized they were the army of the Church of Light.

“Damn! They arrived faster than expected, I don’t think I can just kill this idiot in the sky and walk away.” (I)

In a few minutes, the army has gathered in front of the ship while they are a few feet away from the water, they are keeping themselves aloft thanks to the white horses and the magic from what I can see in the rigid wing shapes of light on their backs.

As they approached my companions also gathered from the deck along with me, Rakan was not seen, but when a barrier envelops the entire ship I suspected he must have done something from inside the ship.

“DURING DEMON HERETIC, TURN-IN AND MAYBE GET A QUICK DEATH BY THE LIGHT OF SALVATION.”

I jump and land on top of Ragnar’s back who has returned to his original form, Orion jumps from somewhere returning to his great form and stretching his red wings, and those who could fly like érica, Hela, Lilith, Karina, and Vanessa joined to me, with the troops of the Church of Light at my side facing me.

No one is hiding his appearance, only Nix is ??still in his half transformed form looking just like a Dragonewt variant and Kira is on top of Byakko who is in an even bigger Tiger form than before being bigger than the White Horses than the soldiers in mine front were using.

I look at all enemy soldiers while spreading my Aura mixing it with the environment so that the enemies don’t notice, I do this to confirm the strength of this army, after a few seconds of silence I open a smile showing my fangs, this seems to annoy the Templar who was ahead with others behind him.

“You have the numbers, but you’re too weak.” (I)
