Chapter 868 War Comes To An End
Chapter 868 War Comes To An End
Cloaked mages cast their most powerful spells on the retreating troops of Dushkarbor.
The beasts were defeated but the magician couldn't be, hence the troops were trying to save their lives and get back into the fortress.
The battle was heated with the mages showing the real capabilities of the demonkind.
This was team Alpha of the demons, a strong squadron full of mages with monstrous prowess. They were not to be trifled with and could easily fight even in the lowest concentrations of magic.
Chonky was hence surprised to find them in the battle, and that too at such an early stage. The war had only just begun and they shouldn't waste their trump cards like this.
However, as Chonky had thought things to be, they were happening exactly like that.
Team Alpha had suppressed everyone on the battlefield and the battle was in their favour initially, but then…
An anomaly took place.
"W-w-what… Don't h-h-hit me!" A clumsy purple-haired teen shouted while dodging the many fireballs being thrown at him.
The dodge pattern of this teen was really random and the step he would take next was highly unpredictable.
This was what the anomaly was. This teen here, despite being really clumsy, was actually the best person suitable to fend off against the mages.
His clumsy moves would sometimes take him to the mages in the hotspots and attack them by accident, making members of Team Alpha fall ever so slightly.
He was the reason why there had been no casualties so far and also only the reason why the mages were having a headache.
The chaos that the clumsiness brought was something even the strongest of demons couldn't handle despite doing their level best.
On the other hand, the purple-haired teen was merely confused and trying to understand as to what was happening while dodging the fireballs coming at him.
Looking at this from the watchtower, Lith thought to himself, 'My intuition was correct.'
This was a great call and a fruitful interaction. That teen was going places with his clumsiness and was really sought after.
His clumsiness was due to the innate chaos that resided within him. There were people who had such a strange thing within them and the only reason for their existence was to bring further chaos into the universe.
They were cursed to become harbingers of chaos and would lead a life of misery, but at least they would be alive at all times and survive through the toughest of hardships.
Such types of people were extremely rare finds as they usually stayed hidden. They were hunted and had big bounties on their heads, which made them all go further underground.
Lith never would've guessed that he would find someone like that over here, but now that he did, losing them would mean taking a big loss and that was something he couldn't afford.
Nevertheless, the battle continued on with the purple-haired teen distracting the mages and hurting them a bit. It was a stalemate for now and everyone was keeping a distance and watching.
The stalemate eventually broke the demons sending in more people, but once again became the same after Lith made more troops go to war from the fortress.
Such a thing went back and forth for a while. The demons were finally fed up and sent their trump cards while Lith also did the same by whistling loudly and signalling people.
The climax of the war was here with every single person of Dushkarbor coming to fight.
The demons too had gone all out and it was Chonky who was greatly shocked among everyone to find this out.
Chonky had never thought that the demons would have someone rival them so soon in their own star system.
This was truly a shocker and his respect for Lith increased by leaps and bounds.
There was no denying that this was the toughest war the demons had ever been to and winning didn't seem easy.
Any of the two could win this war and it was yet to be seen what more there was left.
The demons thought that the demon king would come in a clutch when they needed him the most while the residents of this world knew there was no one coming to rescue them, hence they fought as if there was no tomorrow.
It was a great bloodshed all around the world with casualties finally appearing on both ends.
More and more hidden experts popped out and among them, the tavern girl Lith had seen previously was standing out.
Lith had his gaze locked on her and as expected, she indeed was somebody special.
This tavern girl showed a bossy, bitchy attitude to the ones around her and killed them all easily with her techniques alone.
She seemed like a great martial artist and leader, someone capable enough to handle big tasks.
She was multitasking and in her command, the squad she was leading was emerging to be the best of the best.
This girl was highly sought after and in Lith's vision throughout the war.
Things were getting hectic after some point and it had become unbearable for the demons.
The residents of this world were doing a good job in sending them away but being cruel as well, they didn't let the demons simply escape.
The necks were being cut and the demons barely managed to escape away alive.
War was ugly and this was just one side of it.
Deep into the war, as the hunting continued on, Chonky could not take things anymore.
He couldn't watch his own species die out like this and somehow managing to become his real self for an instance, he gave them the command to return back.
Lith was well aware of this thing by now as he was watching. He didn't comment on it and let the demons escape.
In the meantime, as the demons went back, an atmosphere of joy was starting to sprout up in various different parts of the world.
People were happy to have fought against powerful invaders like this while most were just happy to have survived this:
A feeling of respect rose for Lith in everyone's hearts as he was the one who pushed for a lot of things and got many things done that acted as help in this invasion.
He was the person who should be respected and revered the most, thought the residents of this world and began preparing for it.
Word travelled from one end of the world to another about Lith's achievements and overnight, a legend about him was created that even mothers would use to motivate their kids before sleep.
On the other hand, the demons were completely flabbergasted and wondered about what the fuck went wrong. They had everything with them, strength, quality, quantity, you name it… they had it.
Then how could they lose, that was the question.
The demon court had a meeting once again to discuss the problems. As they all gathered around and were about to start the meeting after paying their respects to the King, they realized the King wasn't even here.
Thinking that the King might be busy with something war related, they continued on with the discussion anyway.
Meanwhile, the King, aka Chonky, was actually standing in front of a lying figure and staring at it with a serious gaze.
This lying figure seemed domineering and the looks were completely out of this world. Chonky knew who this figure was… It was none other than he himself.
This green-haired figure is how Chonky actually looked as an adult. He was a mighty demon king and people revered and respected him.
One fine day, he stumbled across a wizard whom he had underestimated and challenged.
This challenge turned him into a kid and what happened to the throne was completely unknown.
To find answers to that, Chonky had to kidnap some demon court official and in reality, he found no trouble doing so.
As the official was kidnapped, Chonky began rummaging through his memory and found an imposter to take his place.
This really angered Chonky as the throne was his, but he continued to suck on the lollipop Lith gave him and see what else was there.
Nothing much of note could be found other than an imposter taking his place. Who this imposter was, Chonky wanted to find out.
He slapped the adult him appearing figure awake and as this thing gained consciousness, Chonky, in his child-like voice, asked with great seriousness,
"Who are you?"
The figure was totally confused as to what even was happening.
Firstly, he wondered about where he was, and secondly, why was there a child asking such a thing?
The figure didn't take Chonky's question seriously and was about to shove him aside and get up. However, he felt a sharp sting all over his body and warm on his face.
Feeling dumbfounded, his vision focused at present and he saw Chonky slapping him.
Confused and frustrated, his two emotions immediately turned into anger and looking at Chonky, he asked, "You… What the fuck do you think you're doing?"
