Chapter 120: Arrival.
1058 Words
Before the attack in Jonathan's Place occurred. The center of attention right now. Where the center and the edge of the walls are... The Castle of Arstury.. A Steampunk looking building. It's not looking like a normal castle like Rhea. But it is a castle...
Outside the gates is a massive army of homunculus. Approximately, there's Five Hundred and Sixty Homunculus. And currently, there's A Hundred and Eighty Four personnel from Jonathan and Alfredo side.
Four of them is from Alfredo side. Only four. And yet, the one who stands in the very front is David, Yuri, Daniel and Margaret. They're out with their own weapon and stances. Looking at the Homunculus army..
They're just preparing for the worst right now. They didn't know when is the War begun. Yet, The Four Crews is ready to rumble at any time...
Yuri fingers is twitching really badly right now... She is very excited to unleash her Raimei to initiate the attack. But as Alfredo told them. They have no chance on winning this battle if they're attack first.
Since Alfredo said that The rest of the army that is with them is not competent enough to go against a Homunculus. Especially if the amount is Five hundred and Sixty Homunculus. David and the others will be able to thin them out. But if they do that, the Homunculus would go out of their way and kill the weaker one first. And then overwhelm them with numbers.
"David... When should we Move?"
Daniel asked while cold sweats are going down his forehead. He's definitely nervous. He's not used to actually fight against this much amount of things... In fact, Only David seems to calm... Margaret is also nervous... Even though she look calm. Her breathing is a bit unstable...
"... We wait. It's easy to read when they're going to make their move. As Captain explains. These Homunculus will move as soon as the main homunculus attack Captain's and his acquaintance..."
"How would you know that they're getting attacked, David?"
"It's pretty easy, Yuri. You should know that if something is attacking Captain and his acquaintance. It is the best possible homunculus that is going to be sent out. And with that, the attack is going to be strong. Hence, Anything that is attacking them are going to send a shockwave toward us. And when that happens. That's when the war started!"
David speeches impressed everyone... And of course... The rest of the army calm themselves down... But eventually...
A massive shockwave comes from the ground... And with that... All of the Homunculus started moving... The battle officially begun.
"ANCHOR WALL!!!"
David gather all of the Homunculus attention... And after that, Yuri uses her Raimei to shock everything around. But her Raimei doesn't work well against Homunculus. Because they are not a living being. Hence, nothing can stop them if it's a thunder attack...
They are always grounded to the ground because they specifically made with Earth Magic Stone. So, Thunder won't do anything.
"Okay.... Raimei has no effect... Sorry everyone! I will rely on my swordsmanship alone!"
"That's fine! Remember what Captain told us! Always support each other!"
Daniel immediately told Yuri that it's fine if she can't use her Thunder... And it lightened everyone moods instantly. Though, the army was a little bit scared. And it's not their fault that they're scared. Their equipment aren't that good against Homunculus in general. So, it's going to take a lot of lives if they want to hold the line so that the strongest duo arrive...
They keep fighting... Until finally... Everyone was being shock by the heat that is coming from Alfredo's Brilliant Blaze. It's so big enough that the heat reach them. And that heat alone is enough to make them stopped fighting to focus on regulating their temperature. Even the Homunculus can't fight in that much heat...
Basically, the heat is enough to melt ice in an instant. And then scorch that ice into nothingness... It's that powerful...
Of course, Yuri, Daniel and Margaret retreated. But David stays in line because Alfredo has made his armor to have a temperature regulation with wind and water. So he's fine because he has a regular body temperature...
And with that... David take his stance once again.
'That is captain's Signal! A Flame blazing through the sky! It's Vice Captain Rising Sun!'
Last night. The two of them had a talk regarding what is going to happen today. And Alfredo told him that the Signal is Mashura Rising sun... The signal tell David that he's going to go help them.
But that plan seems to take a better turn. Because Mashura didn't know about this plan... She forces Alfredo to go all out. Hence, Alfredo was forced to use a Fire Spell that can tell David that he's coming. So, he uses the Brilliant Blaze. Although, Alfredo seems to want to try his Gaizen as well...
But now that the Signal has been sent by Alfredo... David uses his Spell.
He put his hand together. And he press it hard against each other. Making a really strong Wind Vacuum from his palm.
"Gathering Wind!"
David release his hands and then immediately, a really strong wind pull everything toward David... The Homunculus seems to be the one affected by this...
And then David retreated back toward where everyone is. He watches as the Homunculus being pulled to where his spot once was... And then... David just cool his arm down and then stated.
"We have won this battle."
The other crew nodded in agreement. They let out a really big smile and a really deep sigh... While the other army is a bit confused on what they're talking about. They're also wondering how could they be so calm...
Because now... The fire has died down. The Homunculus is started to loosened up by David Gathering Wind. Everyone panics. Other than the Crew of course... Because finally...
"Good job holding out."
A Resounding cold toned voice pierces through their ears. And that voice comes from Mashura. Their Vice Captain... Both of them already arrived at the sky of the area. And now, they're ready to annihilate the Homunculus...
Alfredo, smiled softly... And then... He just raises his arm...
"Gaizen. Come out."
And the weapon that he calls. Is the Weapon of Mass Extinction.
