“Charge! Send all those heretics to hell!”
Waaaah!
The great army of the Isla Empire rushed forward under the command of the Dark Elf general.
Seeing this scene, the allied forces of Christos and Katorikus entered battle formation.
“Do not fear! The Lord is always with us!”
Waaaah!
Apostle Jaime’s firm declaration boosted the morale of the troops.
“Everyone, raise your shields!”
Following the knights’ command, Christos’s soldiers raised their shields and lowered their long spears.
They could see the fearsome Isla army charging through the gaps, but no one showed signs of fear.
They believed that God was with them.
The Isla army, galloping at full speed, finally reached the allied forces.
KWAANG!
They collided.
“Kill all the heretics! Deus is great!”
“Long live His Sole Prophet Mahomet!”
“Fight back! Everything is for Luke Christos!”
“Lord, protect us!”
The fierce battle continued on both sides.
As the battlefield grew increasingly heated, both sides’ leaders began to intervene to change the tide of the battle.
“Who will stop this Aziz?”
An intangible blade grinding through soldiers. A Dark Elf wielding a spectral blade appeared on the battlefield.
Kuung
The blade stopped in mid-air.
“Hmm?”
A human woman from Katorikus raised her hand and used telekinesis to snatch Aziz’s blade.
Aziz gave her a sneering smile.
“Apostle Iako. You wield telekinesis, do you? Should we see whose telekinesis is stronger?”
Iako silently stared at Aziz.
In the next moment, the two telekinetics clashed.
Uwoooow!
A ragged golem made of countless corpses rose on the battlefield.
On top of the golem sat a Dark Elf golem master.
“By the Sultan’s command! Clear the way, filthy heretic!”
KWAANG!
As the golem slammed the ground, the soldiers on the battlefield were knocked back.
“Crush all the heretics!”
Following the golem master’s command, the ragged golem slammed down both arms.
KWAJIK!
But from somewhere, a mechanical golem appeared and grabbed the ragged golem’s arm, tearing it off.
“Did you make my golem like this?”
The golem master’s arm shone as mana converged and restored the ragged golem’s arm.
The golem master gazed at Cardinal Cronia, who was atop the mechanical golem.
“I never expected to meet you like this, Cardinal Cronia.”
Cronia did not respond.
Behind her, numerous golems began to emerge one by one.
“Yes, that’s how you should come out!”
From the ground behind the Isla golem master, a tremendous number of golems made of bones and flesh crawled forth.
“Words of the heretics who opposed us! We’ll create you heretics like this too!”
“…Who do you think you are?”
Cronia clenched her fist tightly.
“This time, I won’t repeat the same mistake as a century ago.”
KWAKA-WANG!
Hundreds of golems began to collide chaotically in the center of the battlefield.
A massive battle raged at the Bijatine plains.
“Ahhh!”
In the middle of it all, there was someone assassinating the knights.
An assassin completely wrapped in cloth, not revealing any skin.
Having just silently assassinated another knight, she was moving towards her next target when a knight blocked her path.
“This can’t go on. You hurt our precious knights.”
The strong figure, clad in gleaming armor, caused the assassin to take a step back into a combat stance.
“…Cardinal Meiru.”
A youthful voice flowed from the assassin wrapped in dark cloth.
“…Do you know me?”
“Aimpersonator of the false god. The sister of Luke Pulsreino who deserves to die and vanish. Heretic.”
“…Ha. You insulted our Luke. This won’t do.”
Meiru’s shimmering blade ignited with a fiercer fire.
“I’m not the foolish me of the past anymore.”
Chwalararak!
Dozens of swords lifted beside Isla’s shadow assassin, forming a line.
“You will die here.”
“Will that be the case?”
As Meiru swung her blazing sword, she jumped into the shadow assassin’s realm.
KWAANG!
“The battlefield is flowing according to the original plan.”
Lydia spoke as she surveyed the battlefield.
“Yes. While we hold back the Isla commanders, we concentrate the remaining power on Mahomet.”
Simon responded.
“What remains is when Mahomet reveals himself….”
Kuung.
At that moment, the mood of the battlefield changed.
A being of high caliber emerged.
Just by existing, it intimidated its enemies.
The strongest being of this era.
“Finally showing up, huh?”
“Yes… I didn’t think it would be to this extent.”
An immense energy that invigorated the allied troops and weakened the enemy soldiers.
Mahomet had appeared.
“That won’t happen.”
KUNG!
Lydia slammed her staff to the ground, releasing her energy that spread throughout the battlefield.
Her “Gift” nullified the weakening effects on her allies.
KUNG!
As she struck down again, this time her power enhanced the entire allied force.
The battlefield became balanced once more.
“Oh.”
In the air, Mahomet floated high above, seemingly fearless of any sniping or ambush.
“You have quite the talent.”
As she raised a hand, thousands of swords formed behind her.
“However, death is the only fate for every heretic who tarnishes the glory of Deus.”
As she waved her fingers, a rain of swords began to descend upon the ground.
The sight resembled divine punishment.
“That won’t do either.”
Simon raised a hand, unleashing his “Gift.”
Managing the power of acceleration, he distributed the force to all the swords, causing them to slow and hover in the air.
“Oh.”
Mahomet brushed her chin with a finger, intrigued.
“You heretics have quite an interesting power.”
Mahomet addressed the command post of the allied forces.
“How about giving glory to Deus and converting? Those who abandon your false god, Luke, will be embraced by me.”
“Hah.”
“Who would?”
Yet none wavered.
“I would rather choose to perish than betray my Lord.”
“The Triune Deus, who governs the whole world, is with us!”
“What a pity.”
Mahomet softly closed her eyes.
“I must kill all of you.”
In the next moment, Mahomet found herself before the command post of the allied forces.
“When did she—?!”
“She’s fast!”
Standing before Lydia, Mahomet swung her sword fiercely.
Clang!
“You deflected my sword?”
A man, Andre, who stood between Lydia and Mahomet, deflected Mahomet’s attack with a gauntlet.
“Everyone, attack!”
At Lydia’s command, all the Cardinals and Apostles in the vicinity unleashed their attacks on Mahomet.
Swaarrkk!
Numerous axes arose from the ground targeting Mahomet’s ankles.
Sseaaack!
A sharp gust of wind surged towards Mahomet.
Chaeng!
Swords stabbed at Mahomet from all directions.
KWAANG!
But Mahomet deflected all those attacks.
“How dare a mere mortal think they could touch a servant of this god!”
An incredible aura emanated from Mahomet, pushing away everyone around her.
And amid the chaos, Aurelia revealed herself from behind Mahomet.
“…Huh?”
Mahomet, momentarily startled, had not realized her divine hiding.
Clang!
Aurelia’s sword failed to pierce Mahomet’s body.
Mahomet attempted to grab Aurelia, but had to retreat upon receiving a blow from Hannah’s sword.
As the onslaught from the allied forces continued, Mahomet countered and sustained injuries, but could not finish her opponents before being supported by others.
Due to the organic link of their attacks, Mahomet could not properly eliminate the adversary.
“…This is annoying.”
Growing weary of the dragging battle, Mahomet began to gather her strength.
“I plan to do something!”
“We must stop her!”
“I will sweep you all away. In the name of the merciful and gracious Deus (بِسْمِ اللَّـهِ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ)…”
As the allied forces stuck to Mahomet persistently, she brushed them aside and continued chanting.
“To the Lord of the universe, I give praise (الْحَمْدُ لِلَّـهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ). Proclaiming my domain. Deus is the greatest (اللّٰهُ أَكْبَر)!”
Kuung!
With her proclamation, a black orb radiated from her center.
As it did, her domain engulfed the entire battlefield.
Within the dark sphere, all allied forces looked at her as she spoke.
“Come hasten to me, the battle given to me by Deus.”
*
While rapidly flying towards the battlefield, a massive black orb blanketed it.
Is that… a domain?
Why is a domain appearing?
It’s something you can only use when you reach divinity.
Is a god present there?
This feels ominous.
It seems like if I’m too late, I’ll lose something precious.
Faster!
I must reach that place as soon as possible.
