《EEPOS: from rags to godhood》Battle of fire, ice and monsters part 3
Advertisement
Edward was evenly matched with Anezka. Both wielded their respective weapons masterfully and took down many enemies during their chaotic melee if they tried to intervene.
The great ball mace of Anezka created fireballs that made craters and made the earth shake when it hit the ground. Edward's sword swing cut down trees around him and his projectile strikes had started to get more and more accurate.
"You really remind me of your father. I am truly happy that I have a new rival to share the battlefield with," Anezka yelled.
"The only difference is, this is not a rivalry. This is an execution," Edward said and shot his projectile attack at her.
With ease, Anezka stopped it by destroying it with her ball mace but was caught surprised when she saw Edward right in front of him. He was taken back by how fast Edward had closed the distance between them.
She tried to defend herself but Edward then slashed her chest cutting it open forcing her to fall.
"The other difference between me and my father is that the other one is dead and the other one is alive," Edward said looking down on the marshal who was bleeding badly.

The army of the nation of Sparv was being rolled like a carpet and tunneled into a certain area by the black yak cavalry. Namri was leading his tribal warriors and with great fury controlled the enemy soldiers like a dog that herded sheep.
"GLORY TO THE GREY SKINS! GLORY TO THE FAIRFAX NATION! GLORY TO RUFUS!" he yelled.
When enough enemy soldiers had been rounded up into a small plateau, loud cannon shots could be heard once more. As the soldiers looked confused, tired and baffled as to why the cavalry was not chasing them anymore they started once more hearing a whistling sound.
They then were fired on by an enormous bombardment by the cannons that had taken aim on the plateau. Thousands of soldiers all died in mere seconds with even the nobles being unable to protect themselves.

The morale of the army had been lost completely with every soldier either surrendering or fleeing.

Queen Sasha was being cut apart and being pushed back by Yosef, Joan and Haley. She was a strong divine person but even for her, the three of them were too much.
With her femoral artery punctured her leg was bleeding a lot. She knew she was about to lose.
The queen started to flee with Joan and Yosef's puppets giving chase. She looked around at her grand army that was being destroyed and pummeled by a far inferior force, or so she had thought. Neither had she ever experienced the charge of the black yaks or the power of dokkaebi cannons. She had thought that the Fairfax kingdom was not united and weak from its last civil war revolution.
She saw that the iron cage that was still intact and undamaged though collapsed on the side of the road. The queen saw that Anezka was very close to it and had a chance to open it.
"Anezka Novak! Open the cage! Release it" the queen commanded her marshal.
Anezka then got up, threw her weapon at Edward to distract him and started to run towards the cage. Edward instead of even trying to give chase rested his sword on his shoulder and waited for what was she up to next.
She got to the cage and took out a key and opened its heavy vault door. From inside a humanoid creature stepped out with no eyes, nose, ears or mouth. It had high muscle density with veins popping out from the biceps to the abdomen. It was completely naked and didn't show any genitalia.
Edward, Joan and Yosef stared at this creature that seemed so strange to them.
Many eyes and three mouths formed on the creature's face from underneath its fleshy face. Anezka then smiled and stared at Edward like she knew what was about to happen next.
It then punched Anezka with a hook that decapitated her head in a split of a second.

Edward readied his weapon fearing it would attack him next.
The creature instead flexed its muscles like it had not moved in years with its head turning 360 degrees and elbows bending over what a normal human's elbows could.
The creature then spotted the queen and smiled with its many mouths. It appeared in a blink of an eye in front of her and stared down at her unaffected by the queen frost divinity. She tried to defend herself by hitting the creature with her black ice mace, but the creature just grabbed it and shattered it with just a squeeze of its grip.
The humanoid creature then raised its hand at the fear-stricken queen. It licked its eyeballs like it was enjoying the moment and was finally getting its revenge.
As the monster was about to kill the queen its attack was halted by crystals that engulfed it up to its neck.
The queen saw her chance and started to run away as Edward plunged in trying to cut off the head of the beast.
The head fell off with one swing with Edward smiling thinking he had killed the thing. The headless torso of the beast then walked toward his severed head breaking its crystal restraints with no struggle. It then grabbed his severed head and placed it back on its neck. The head was quickly connected back and then turned backward creepily and stared at Edward.
Edward again tried to strike at the beast with his blade but the creature dodged and followed with a kick that sent him flying high over the treetops.
~~
Joan caught up to the queen who was running away from the battlefield and from the monster. She pushed the queen down placing her blade yet again on her neck. The queen was completely exhausted and was too tired to try and resist her like last time.
"Tell me! What the hell is that thing?" Joan yelled.
"It is an experimental weapon that has been raised since my grandmother found it," the queen said.
"What do you mean raised?"
"My grandmother found a raxnas that had taken hold of a human and devoured two others. It was still not strong but saw it as a potential weapon. She captured it and put it inside a cage in the capital that was reinforced with heavy and unbreakable steel plates. She knew that if a raxnas kept eating the same species as its original host it would get stronger. She hoped to tame the beast and make it her personal weapon.
It was then fed prisoners that were supposed to be executed. For many years we did that and even though it was never publicly admitted, rumors of the beast of Sparv had started to spread in the nation. The experiment was continued by my mother who then deemed the experiment as a failure since it could not be tamed or killed. But I still saw potential in it. It was only half a failure. It still could be used and it had become truly insanely strong and now I have unleashed it upon you," the queen explained while looking at Yosef and Haley who were struggling with the beast.
"How many humans has it devoured?" Joan asked with eyes wide open.
"Oh, I don't know. Maybe around at least a couple a week since the time of my grandmother. Now that my creature has been unleashed it can not be stopped. It will now destroy you as you have destroyed me. It will then decide to either head east or west. With the same odds as in flipping a coin, one of our countries will be destroyed by it," the queen said and laughed.
