The Adrift Oath

Chapter XI: Yet So Inspiring

Yuna stood on the mud that was helped by the rain to hamper the soldiers' footing, but it didn't matter as she knew no matter what happens she will die in this battlefield sooner or later

She gazed forward and she could see the Aralian soldiers forming long lines in front of their fortress, they too were ready for war, and just by seeing their huge army Yuna understood how outnumbered she and her men were

But she didn't care a single about, she'll take as many of them as she can and then she'll die, so be it

And as she turned around to face her men, all their faces had the same expression she had, they were out for blood, if the gods failed to give them the justice they deserved, they will do it themselves

It was so cold, yet the longing for vengeance warmed her heart, and boiled her blood

"Our ancestors are smiling down on us men!" Yuna screamed with her hands raised high

"For tonight we will dine alongside them in the halls of eternity!" She exclaimed loudly as her men cheered right after

"Drown the air in Aralian screams! Drown the earth with their blood!" She furrowed her eyebrows as she yelled, both she and her men were as bloodthirsty as hell's hounds

She unsheathed her sword, the steel was of a void black color, absorbing all the light it could as it seemingly fed on it, Yuna knew what power she could gain by feeding it Naginata blood, she was dead anyway, morality didn't matter anymore

And then all of a sudden, Yuna slit her wrist with the sword's edge letting out a groan while her eyes were shocked, the blood that came out of the wound wasn't liquid, it was in the form of energy that went on towards the blade of her sword, covering the black steel in a dark crimson color

Her breathing quickened while her senses sharpened, she could feel it, the inviting power of the sword called out for more of her blood, in exchange for the power that would help her do her bidding

Pointing the cursed sword to the sky, Yuna screamed with all her might

"CHARGE!" And so her men did, and she too ran towards the enemy

She could feel the sword becoming a part of her with each droplet of blood that came out of her wrist to feed the beast

As she approached the first line of the enemy she could see spears delivered to greet them first, but her sword guided her, the dark power told her of what she finally was capable of

The running Yuna looked at her blade, seeing electric static that caressed the surface of the dark crimson blade

She held it as tight as she could, her legs ran as fast as they could and when she neared enough, she sliced the air with all the strength she could muster

And seemingly out of thin air, an energy slash came out of her sword with the color of burning blood that soon smashed into the first line of defense the Aralians had, blowing the spearmen into pieces

"KILL THEM ALL!" The blades screamed, smashing against the Aralians with all their might through the hole that Yuna made in their defense

Yuna raised her sword against the first Aralian she met, and she cut him down just as quickly with her sword cutting the plate armor like it was butter

As she pierced their line, she pushed further and deeper in, clashing with another that wanted to strike her with a downwards slash that she dodged at the right moment before thrusting forward and stabbing him in the stomach, pushing him down and twisting the blade, and no matter how agonizing his scream was Yuna had no mercy left
