《Empress' Evolution》59. Plan E
Advertisement
[Marked Teleportation], a skill which, in Lilith's eyes, was one of the strongest and versatile skills a daemon could have.
There's only one way to use it, and that's by leaving a mark on any surface and then teleporting to said mark. Though the markings disappear after some time, it was still valuable for many reasons.
The user of the skill can have anyone teleport to the marking or use it for herself. The user can also bring someone with her.
Self-teleportation is easy to do, but sending someone or something to another location was different, especially if the one you would be sending was a large item.
In the eyes of many, it should only be used by sending items from one place to the next. Or, at most, send an army to a battlefield and create a surprise attack.
However, Lilith saw the skill's potential, and what she came up with was Plan D, or otherwise known as Drop a fucking Boulder - on the ships.
Using a branch marked by Sylva and then utilizing the minimap as the tracker of the courier's location, this particular explosive-less bomb.
And with a boulder that weighs more than 500 tons, dropping from more than 30,000 feet, was nothing short of catastrophic. It was a massive threat that can decimate an entire city.
This asteroid was moving fast, and in thirty seconds, it shall reach the ground decimating the force of the forces of the humans.
'Now, how are you going to deal with such a massive threat above you?'
Lilith watched with great interest in how the humans would react in front of such a danger. The humans reacted how humans would respond to something they could not understand, bombard it with massive firepower!
"Use your skills, don't run away; it is useless. If we want to survive, then our only choice is to grind that thing to dust!"

"Dammit, what is it with this place? First, it was the appearance of that silver light, then we got bombed by Harpies, and this time it's raining Boulders? When can we get some rest?"
"Shut up and just bombard it! Warriors, go and mount the other Mana Cannons. Use every mana you can!"
It was a festival of explosions. A plethora of light emerged from the two ships and flew out to the boulder! Their intention was clear, destroy the damn thing and see the light of the next day!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
They all roared as their determination to destroy the damn thing ignited their will to live, just like any other being who about sees the end of their lives.
They are about to kick the bucket, and just like how humans found themselves at the top of the food chain, they gritted their teeth and gave it their all!
"AAAHHHHHH!" Their roars echoed around the area, and as the reverberation of their desperation for life melded with the cannon's roar to destroy the boulder, they saw cracks appear on the boulder's surface.
"JUST A LITTLE MORE IT IS ABOUT TO BREAK!"
Upon seeing the damage that they are causing, the humans were celebrating. Their smiles blossomed, and they poured more mana into their fight against the boulder.
'Just a little more, come on, break, break, break!'
And then, finally, it happened, the boulder cracked, and as their smiles blossomed, it soon disappeared as the fractures of the boulder were still as big as ten meters each.
"We messed up. We only divided it."
When they saw this, their despair heightened, many fell to their knees as they realized their situation. Their mana flow stops, and as they were too tired to even move and escape, they just watched the oncoming boulders!

However, one man by the name of Jericho stood up. He was a B+ Rank Mage Hunter! He looked at the boulders and gritted his teeth. Once again, he prepared a spell!
He gathered everything he could gather from the core of his being. The surrounding mana ignited to a glorious blaze, and under his command, all of it coalesced into a massive ball of flame.
His body took the toll of such an act, but Jericho did not care. He held on his staff, and soon, the creation of thirty meters large Magic Circle hovered overhead!
"BLAZE INCINERATION!"
The Fireball passed through the Magic Circle, and when it came out of the other side, a cannon-like explosion reverberated across the area.
BooM!
Many saw this and then heard Jericho shouted aloud!
"Stand up! Ready the cannons! We can do this! Push yourselves and burst through your limit. We can't fall here! We must live! There are people who are awaiting our return! Stand up and don't give!"
The more they despaired and the more they fall into the abyss, but once light appeared, it will lead others to go against fate itself. Jericho's words became a beacon of hope. The exhausted humans began standing up one by one.
They stood their ground and looked at the oncoming fractures. All of them laughed as they realized how much of a coward they were being.
"Hehe, Jericho's right. We can't give up, stand up and fight destiny!"
"YEAH!"
Their cries echoed in the ears of many. They looked at the fractures and laughed mockingly at themselves.
They stood their ground and began climbing to get the light of hope and live to see the next day!
Jericho laughed at the sight of his friends and companions coming together. He was ready to face the oncoming danger with them.
He smiled as he saw a thread of hope being lowered.
However, the more they focused on hope, the more they got blinded by hope, the more narrow-sighted they become. Thus they didn't see the tiny loli of despair!
Bang!
A red sphere landed in front of Jericho, and with a broad smile still plastered on his face, the red sphere did its job!
BOOM!
The High-Tier Magic Bombs exploded, encompassing a three-hundred-meter radius blast damage.
The ground shook, and the waves seemed to have evaporated due to the intensity of the explosion.
That should be enough. Wreckage could already be seen, but Lilith was far from being satisfied,
The smoke settled, and the warships reappeared. The only thing Lilith saw was wreckage. The humans should be dead by now, but then, the falling fractures followed, burying the remains.
Lilith smiled at the sight of this.
'Welp, for a hasty Plan E, the result is not that bad! I still have a High-Tier Magic Bomb to spare. How lucky is that?' she thought while quickly changing to different forms to fairly distribute her level to each form.
The warships had been decimated, killing every human on board!
The war is finally over, and from above, Lilith announced.
"Sweep the entire Island, find and kill every human that remains!"
Just a few days ago, the humans were the ones hunting the escaping demons. But right now, Lilith had ordered for their death!
And Lilith achieved such a wonderful victory by quite literally bombing the hope out of them.
