The Chronicles of Neoubert

Chapter V : A Ray of Hope

The Mistress could not stay calm. She is worried about her kingdoms fate and desperately requires reinforcements. Her people rushed into shelter themselves, Guards hastely went to their positions and defense turrets are loaded with large bolts. The Mistress ran to the top of the palace's skyhigh towers. Flames are visible faraway, demolishing massive trees to form a path for the Legion. She estimated that they would arrive in less than 3 days. She is hoping that her distress call would arrive to her allies. Lieutenant Jacquelyn and Glorie immediately prepare themselves after receiving the letters and brought a third of their men to help the Mistress. The same goes for the other free batalions. However, Neoubert did not know of the situation and is still in the dragon's cave with Jamie and Chen. Meanwhile in the North, the Elven companies rushed back. They stopped at nothing and even smashed their way through cities in order to arrive earlier. As darkness falls in the evening, the residents cannot sleep well. Anxiety and fear conquered and some even considered to turn away against their own kin. Elders and important officers are gathered and escorted to an unknown place. Women and children's safety are prioritized and weapons are given to every man capable.

Brenda stood infront of an altar. Praying silently of her peoples safety and opened a locked crate hidden under one of the nearby statues. She took out some ancient books and scrolls to access and flicked a miniature switch. The crate rearranged its form and presents the Garguan. An ancient sword once used by her father in pass battles and contains hidden powers which only can be used by royals like her. As she examine the blade, An explosion occured. The Legion immediately attacked after arriving 40 metres from the defensive walls. Necromancers summons demented corpses to overwhelm the main gate. But their attacks are easily countered. Undead knights raided the available openings made by catapults and destroyed the walls supporting frames. Finally they managed to penetrate through the walls, ravaging everything they see. Casualties increased by the second, Elven troops flee back into the palace. In the Commander's view, the Mistress is seen on the rooftop. She wields Garguan and thrusts it into the floor. A pulsing orb appears which defends the palace from every attack. But it consumes Brenda's spiritual energy. She hoped that her reinforcements could arrive before her energy is depleted.

Back in the cave, The dragon finally came out and spread it's wings majestically. Its size it three times the size of trebuchets and can unleash devastating flames of up to 3000 degrees fahrenheit. Neoubert and Chen rode up the beast while Jamie insisted on following them with her stallion. As they finished arguing, They went to the city of Ruzomar to meet up with the others. Rapi, Hafiz, Lee and Alex on the other hand dashed back to the palace. Lee's enhancement of increasing their movement speed helped a lot that even scouts are overtaken. Soon they would arrive to help but no one hoped for the beat as they are once again facing the wicked Commander. As Neoubert and company arrives, they were surprised by the update given by a soldier and changed their route back to the palace. Back in the palace, The Commander summoned his strongest right hand, Chaw to destroy the Mistress's shield. It's force of impact is so strong that Garguan's blade shows signs of cracking. The Mistress poured more energy into Garguan but is still pounded by Chaw. He hesitantly and mercilessly smash the shield with brute force. With a final devastating blow, the shield shattered and made her weak. The demons shouted their warcry. First company attacked but they were stopped by a barrage of arrows which pierced their armour.

A scream from the skies is heard, with his blade piercing the clouds. "BJOLR, HOWL!!" Hafiz shouted and with that a thunderstrike struck the demons and ended with a devastating blast. a figure in the dustcloud aims his sword in front of the Elite regime. "Scorching Cypher, Black Nebula Inferno!". A thick black fire massacred the entire frontline. As vision regained, the black flames incinerated everything it came in contact with. The demons retreated back as the being steps out. Dressed in black and torn cloth combined with silver armour and a demonic mask to cover his face, Rapi's pupils turned bright red as he stared at the Commander. Alex and Lee immediately asked the Mistress to run from there while Hafiz work on the civilians. The Commander and Rapi had gazed each other, making every second more intense as it is. As everyone have evacuated, Rapi unleashed his supressed strength and the clash between them began.

The clinging and slashing of blades can be heard throughout the area. Every encounter between Rapi's blade and the Commander's are so powerful that even towers nearby are shattered flat. Brenda was amazed at how he withstand the Commander's assaults, reminding her of her father. As a swing seperates both 20 metres away, Rapi rose his blade and whispered "Inferius Blade Technique, Scorching Arrow." His blade emitted a blackish white glow and fired a black explosive projectile which hit the Commander's left arm. Sizzling hot pain is felt as the Commander's arm slowly turn black and later exploded. He screamed of pain and soon fell.
Rapi sighed of relief. Thinking it was over, the Commander rose up, mumbling about how he defeated him with such a 'weak' blow. He began to scream of rage and tore his torso, taking out his black heart and proceeded to eat it. He shivered uncontrollably. Wings started growing on his back and his height increased as well as his buffness. His horns suck out the life force of every demon at the area and soon became a terrifying demented monster. Pandemonium shattered and morphed to a massive sword. Rapi was surprised, but he kept calm and went into his stance. Suddenly Hafiz, Alex and Lee came into help him. "You're not the only one who wants to kick some curvature." Lee said. Rapi smirked. The necklace he got from the Skeleton brightly lit. As a bright flash emerged, Heroes of the past who had died valiantly are summoned to help them. And as they were in awe, a pat on the shoulder surprised them. Eric with a smile raised his sword proudly besides his friends. And in a minute, Hundreds of warriors lined up to destroy the monster and sent it back to Hell. This war shall end now.
