I looked at our enemy, Alphon city was found in a clearing, surrounding it was a dense forest. The enemies started emerging one by one

The sentry on in the watchtower rang the bell and everyone started to arm themselves

I noticed a man riding a horse approaching Alphon city, he carried with him a white and red flag, a messenger

I left the wall and headed in front of the gate in order to meet him

"I bring a message from the first prince" He kneeled as he presented me with a letter

I took it and read it,

[

Give up and don't resist unless you want to suffer and be tortured for the rest of your pathetic lives

]

Very direct if I say so myself

I crumpled the paper in front of the messenger's eyes, my reply was obvious. He stood up and left

I was still standing in front of the wall because I noticed a strange movement in the enemy army, 3 warriors rode a horse to the center, they eyed me and beckoned me

"That's a challenge" Brunhilde who was wearing the nexus armor walked up and stated

"A challenge like a 3 versus 3?" I asked

"I don't know, you and them can disgust it there" She replied

"Alright, call Reina, the two of you will be coming with me" I stated

"Got it" Brunhilde left and soon after, she returned with Reina

"Let's go" I stated as the 3 of us rode the 3 horses that Brunhilde brought with her

We arrived at a clearing in between Alphon city and the attacking army, there stood 3 warriors covered in armor, a man stepped up and spoke out

"We want this war to be of no bloodshed since the army here needs to fight the demons and invaders instead of some poorly built and pathetic excuse for an army" He arrogantly stated

I ignored him and looked at the other two behind him before asking

"So what do you propose?"

"Fucking look at me you motherfucker!" The man earlier roared out as he pulled out his sword

"Easy Rand, he's just a weak level 81 Knight" From the two knights, a woman's voice was present

I will at least not kill you, I stated in my head

"Aira, let's just do this and fight him, a 3 versus 1" Rand stated

"How did you even know my level" I asked

"Heh, we managed to find Aegis too bad they escaped, but they did leave a book that noted all of your levels" Rand smiled

"The Guildmaster's book? I knew you guys were low but I didn't know you would stoop this low" Brunhilde stated

"This voice? Brunhilde? is that you? why did you defect to his their side?!" Aira asked with anger

"This is my choice" Brunhilde stated

"I see, then you will leave me no choice but to kill you after we kill him" Aira pulled out her sword

Nope, not gonna show mercy, I'm going to kill her. I changed the previous statement in my head

"So Mr.Royal Knight, a 3 versus 1 match" Rand once again asked

"That's unfair" Reina jumped in

"Bitch, we outnumber you 10-1, I'm not negotiating, I'm ordering!" Rand arrogantly announced

"Step back Reina, I will massacre them, don't worry. Brunhilde, are you close with that woman?" I asked just to make sure

"She's someone I used to know" Brunhilde gave me her ok

"A 3 versus 1 then, come at all at once, maybe you'll last longer" I arrogantly remarked as I crossed my arms

They all got mad and charged at me

Rand was first to slash but I moved to the side and dodged it, Aira and the other guy glowed green, they seem to have enhanced their speeds. They started to move faster but far enough from actually being a threat to me, Aira moved in front of me while the other moved behind my back and finally Rand vanished but Lilith kept track of him through thermal vision

Aira and her companion thrust their sword but I only spun around and pinched both of their swords before breaking them, I quickly grabbed the falling blade and stabbed the other guys head, the blade penetrated his steel helmet. He collapsed on the ground with blood flowing down the holes of his helmet

Aira was shocked, she immediately backed away, I blocked an incoming attack on my left side, it came from Rand. His sword couldn't even leave a scratch in my armguard, I punched his stomach before grabbing him and throwing him at Aira.

Rand stood up immediately and saw the dead man on the ground

"What the hell?! how can a level 81 knight kill a level 100 knight?!" He asked

"Are you dumb? anyone would die if they had a fucking sword lodged in their heads too bad there's nothing inside your head to even destroy" I mocked

"You motherfucker!" He raised his arm and shot a small and pathetic fireball up in the sky

He wanted to damage me then he should've shot it in my direction instead of the sky... unless... it's a signal

I was ready to shoot out a signal myself when 2 mages emerged from their formation, they started floating before flying to our direction. After 2 minutes, they arrived. I did nothing during that time, I was a bit curious as to what these two mages will do

"MELDY! MAG! Help us kill him!" Rand shouted as soon as the 2 mages arrived

"You did say it was 3 versus 1, oh well,4 versus 1 won't change a thing" I stated

'Zeno... can you please try to spare Meldy? she's a female mage, she's a close friend of mine, I believe she will join us if I ask' Brunhilde requested using the radio

'Alright, but if she doesn't?'

'Please don't kill her, I promise she won't betray us in any way possible'

'Okay, I trust you'

"Which one of you is Meldy?" I asked

"I-It's me" One of the robed magicians replied, her voice a bit high and childish

"Meldy, come with us" Brunhilde spoke out

"Brunhilde?! Why are you here?! I was so worried about you when you suddenly dissappeared!" Meldy immediately removed her hood

Meldy was a teenager whose age seemed to rage in between 15-17, she had blonde hair in twintails while her eyes were as blue as the ocean

"Meldy, come with us, leave that pathetic kingdom and join us" Brunhilde continued to speak

Meldy looked at us before looking back at the army, she seems to be weighing the strengths of the two armies but in the end, she shook her head and slapped her face, she ran towards Brunhilde's side

"Meldy you idiot!" Mag fired a fire spear that headed straight towards Meldy's back

I quickly moved and blocked the fire spear with Azazel which was still sheathed

"Meldy! why would you defect to their side!" Aira asked in anger

"Because she's my friend and she needs my help!" Meldy replied as she hugged Brunhilde

"What of your family?! The King will be sure to execute them!" Aira

"A-Ah! m-my family"

"Don't worry... we'll safely take them here!" Brunhilde reassured Meldy

"I-I trust you!" Meldy nodded her head

I commend their friendship and trust, as for the other guy who shot the fire spear, his head will roll down

"Come at me, I will take you all down" I switched to agility

I vanished and appeared behind Aira, I broke her leg before dragging her by the head and throwing her at the other mage called Mag

Mag was casting a spell but he was disrupted and was forced to jump back, Rand shouted out before coming at me with his sword, I was about to meet his attack when the ground split open and out came two earth arms that held me down. I was rooted on the ground but it didn't stop me from blocking Rand's attack and punching him away

"Fool! now collapse under my power! [Thunder struck]!" Mag shouted and a thunderous bolt hit me

'Absorbed energy, allocating stored energy to DK and to the core reactor' Lilith spoke out with delight

'Excessive energy, I advise you to release it through a gamma ray' Lilith once again spoke out

"What?! it didn't work?!" Mag was shocked

"It'll take more than that pathetic attack to damage me" I mocked

"RAND! buy me some time!" Mag shouted out

I was still locked by the two earth arms, I destroyed them simply by just moving

Rand shoot off a light ray that didn't cause me damage but Lilith seemed to have stated that the reactive energy armor deflected something

"DIE!" He shouted as he swung his sword

I grabbed the sword and was about to punch him in the stomach with my right arm but a chain of light shackled my hands, I managed to break the sword as Rand jumped away, he raised his hands as if to grab something as a fire spear formed. I looked back and it seems that the shackles were casted by Aira

He threw it at me but it had no damage

"That's good enough! crash and burn, [Rock fall!]" Mag raised both his arms as Lilith detected a small meteorite heading straight for me

It wasn't locked on and the size of the meteorite was that of a baseball, is this a joke?

I aimed my palms and shot off a gamma ray that instantly disintegrated the small pathetic rock

Mag fell back in shock his hands shaking, pointing at me

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU?!" He shouted in madness

I vanished before reappearing behind him, my hands underneath his chin

"This is for attempting to kill our ally" I shot off a gamma ray, his head instantly blew up

Blood and pieces of brain were scattered, as Rand run away. I caught up with him before slamming his face on the ground, I broke his legs before throwing him back to the corpse of Mag

I raised Rand up, his face was stained with tears and blood, heck, even snot was running down his nose. I switched to strength before throwing towards their army, his body bounced off the ground multiple times

The first bounce left a scrapped off most of his armors and clothing, the 2nd scrapped off the skin on his back along with some flesh that exposed his bones, the 3rd bounced caused his arms to dislocate, the 4th bounced caused his arms to completely detach and as for the 5th bounce, his neck broke before detaching and bouncing off to another direction. He left a bloody trail but in the end, his body (and head) managed to return to their army

Aira looked at me in shock

"M-Monster!" Aira pointed her finger at me, Brunhilde broke that finger

"It's rude to point at someone don't you think?" Brunhilde stated

"*sigh* Let me just end her" I approached Aira

"N-No!" She screamed in terror

"Why? you tried to kill me though" I asked

"It-It was just orders!" She started to beg for her life

"Then it's the same for me, no hard feelings" I unsheathed Azazel

"N-N-NO!!!" She screamed in terror as tears rolled down her eyes

"Relax" I replied

Aira seemed to have calmed down when I said that but I wasn't done speaking

"I'll make your death painless" Fear returned to her eyes as she shook her head from side to side

Meldy looked away as Azazel dug deep in Aira's heart

"At least you have a corpse to bury" I stated as I looked back at the enemy army

I tied the corpses to the horses they used to get here before sending them back to the army except for Mag, he can rot here for all I care

We rode the horses back to the city, Meldy rode with Brunhilde

I observed Meldy and she seems to be afraid of me, Brunhilde chuckled and hugged her friend

"Meldy, he's a kind man though ruthless to his enemies, come on Zeno, don't stare at her like that" Brunhilde stated

"Sorry" I looked away before stating

"Don't worry Ms.Meldy, we'll help your family escape"

"T-Thank you kind sir" She replied with a smile though a little forced, it was a good start
