Will of chaos

Pov General Theodore:

I was in the campaign tent at the gates still looking at all the information we have on the battle after the strategy meeting ended a few minutes ago.

“Something isn’t right…” (I)

I looked at the magic maps with the simulation of enemy troop movements and their approximate numbers.

“They pushed too hard to approach the city, this is basically begging for a defensive battle, why?” (I)

I couldn’t understand that, even if they had reinforcements the situation wouldn’t improve, a defensive battle could last for weeks and our allies are closer, they could arrive in days.

I don’t understand what they’re doing, no matter how much they’re underestimating us, no General or strategist would be so foolish as to come up with a plan like that, there must be something behind it.

“This is driving me crazy, I need a bottle of Infernal Alcohol.” (I) 𝒷𝓮𝒹𝓃ℴ𝓿𝓮𝓁.𝓬𝓸𝓂

“You and those awful drinks, you old bastard.” (Rodrick)

“You idiot, did you get a new arm yet? Make sure you don’t destroy this one too fast.” (I)

“Here, you left this horrible thing with me last time.” (Rodrick)

“Wonderful, you are my savior, I will hire you as my butler or Knight or whatever… ha hahaha…” (I)

“I’m fine as a mercenary, besides that bottle was just gathering dust, alcohol has to taste good and not just be too strong.” (Rodrick)

“You and your childish palate, always enjoying that ridiculous sweet stuff, could drink barrels of that and not get drunk.” (I)

“I don’t have time to waste with you, I need to get myself another suit of armor, take this letter, Adventurer Mary asked me to bring it to you.” (Rodrick)

“(If I remember correctly the only Adventurer in the mercenary squad is the support and information specialist.)” (I)

My face becomes serious as I take the letter in my hands and that one-armed Oni leaves the tent, as I read the letter my eyes grow wide the more I read, suddenly everything makes sense, a smile spreads across my face as I think of marry my grandson to that beautiful young Adventurer, that is if she wants that useless.

“CALL THE HIGH PRIEST OF WAR!!!” (I)

“If they want to go all out then I’ll let him go, the One Man Army was tired of just waiting anyway.” (I)

————-

Pov Enock (One Man Army):

I was waiting for this from the beginning, I was in a nearby town looking for people with potential to become Warrior Priests when the war started.

I helped with the evacuation of small villages, protecting the common people in a war is a priority at the start of a war and I couldn’t help but help with that.

Soon I received orders from the Temple of War to continue where I was, from where I am I could help in emergency situations since the Temple is supporting the Black Empire in this war.

I was impatient to see valiant Warriors and soldiers dying in battle without being able to join the fight.

After days, the permission that I had been waiting for finally came, moreover, I found out that I would have a worthy opponent that filled my heart with happiness.

I waited silently until she revealed herself, when the light spears of the Inquisitors of Light’s magic ritual was used, I knew she had arrived, so I looked up to Celestina above the clouds using her Aura shovel to aim the ritual at the army below, she wanted to make a surprise appearance to take the city with this pincer attack.

“You really showed up, Executioner of Light.” (I)

“< Temple of Victory >”

I was overjoyed as I raised my Halberd with one of my hands and used my Aura along with an area of effect holy spell making my Aura and his balance neutralize both along with the Aura of anyone below our strength level.

I look at the black-skinned Celestina woman with gold tattoos, and white and gold wings, wearing silver armor with white details designing along with her body silhouette, armor tailored for her with the Crest of the Church of Light.

“Enock, I didn’t know you would be here, why is the One Man Army in this place?” (Andreia)

“This is a war, my brothers in arms are everywhere, but I’m lucky you’re here, Executioner of Light.” (I)

“You are Human, why fight defending these filthy races?” (Andreia)

“The prejudices of your Church are foreign to me, the only thing that matters to me are allies or enemies.” (I)

“Breed differences are too small a thing to worry about so much.” (I)

“If you stand in my way I will crush you along with this city.” (Andreia)

“Yes, everything I wanted to hear.” (I)

“< Magic Distortion Wave >” (I)

As we were talking, she was preparing a way to cancel the spears of light, someone like the Executioner of Light would not hesitate to fire this gigantic magic even if it hits her allies, the only thing that matters to her is winning.

That’s why I’m using all the mana stored in my clothes that I leave as a reserve to activate one of the spells imbued in my Halberd, this spell uses pure mana to interfere with other spells if only a very skilled Mage could keep control of his magic, but something of this scale needs the cooperation of dozens at the very least, they wouldn’t be able to keep it under control enough.

A surge of mana goes in all directions, it should disrupt those on the battlefield below me, but they’ll have to endure it.

The surge of mana passes through the spears of light that go out of control, a chain explosion ensues destroying most of them as the force of the explosion causes a shock wave which the Light Enforcer uses to get at me.

“< Tide Splitter >” (I)

“< Holy Blade >” (Andreia)

Her sword meets the blade of my Halberd, in a contest of strength I would win and she knows it, that’s why her sword was not meant to hit me, he forced me to use my halberd while his wings become rigid with Ki of the light element running through its feathers, so it tries to cut it.

“< Hardened Body >” (I)

My body becomes hardened with one of my skills, it increases my total defense much to the liking of my speed, but I laugh as her wings brush across my skin leaving only white marks without managing to make even a scratch.

Thus began our long battle that lasted all day, our fight took place inside the Temple of Victory, a Skill that creates a battlefield where none of the Auras can be used in combat at the same time that creates a powerful Aura Field preventing our struggle interfere on the battlefield.
