TBATE-ALLIANCE

Chapter 19

3rd Person POV

Caera and Sevren charged forward with the rebel forces behind them. They closed in on the next set of barricades with a heavy amount of loyalist forces standing on top and behind them. The loyalist forces on top readied their spells and arrows before firing a volley toward rebels.

"Shields!" Sevren called out.

The rebel forces stopped their advance, and several mana shields formed in front of and above them. The spells collided with the shields, exploding with explosions corresponding to their elements, while the arrows buzzed as they bounced off the shields.

"Seraphina!!" Caera yelled, looking up at Seraphina, who was flying above. "Take out that barrier!"

Seraphina screeched before nose-diving toward the barricade. Several loyalist soldiers looked up and grew wide-eyed, seeing Seraphina advancing on them.

"Look to the sky!" One of the loyalists yelled.

"Fire!!" Another loyalist yelled.

Several loyalists fired spells or arrows at Seraphina, who just maneuvered around the attacks. Seraphina leveled out and flew above the barricade, blanketing it in a tsunami of fire. The loyalists screamed at first as they felt the intense flames wrap around them, but their screams soon died down as the barricade collapsed, and nothing was left but a pile of ash and charred bone.

The loyalist forces who stood behind the now destroyed barricade looked at the pile of ash and charred bone with anger, seeing their dead comrades.

"Charge! Kill them all!!" One of the loyalists yelled. The loyalist forces yelled battle cries as they charged forward toward the rebels.

"Disperse shields!" Sevren commanded, and the shields around them dispersed. "Casters! Fire!"

The rebel formation's casters fired a volley of spells at the charging loyalist forces.

"Shields!" One of the loyalist soldiers yelled, and mana shields formed around them.

Seraphina flew over the charging loyalists, dousing the shields with fire. The raging flames destroyed the shields, and the rebel spells collided with the loyalists with different explosions, thinning their ranks heavily.

"Charge!" Sevren yelled.

The rebels yelled and charged forward toward the loyalists. Sevren covered himself in lightning, and Caera coated her ruby sword in soul fire. Both forces readied their weapons, and the sound of metal colliding with metal reverberated through the air as the forces clashed.

Severn dashed forward like a living bolt of lightning, moving between the loyalist forces. Severn closed in on one loyalist, shoving his dagger into their side before ripping it out of their back. The wounded soldier fell to their knees, Sevren plunged his dagger into the top of their head, and their eyes rolled back. Sevren pulled the dagger out before kicking the soldier's back, knocking them to the ground.

Caera fell to her knees, sliding under a sword as a loyalist soldier swung his blade at her. Caera slid behind the soldier, hoping to her feet, and quickly spun around, swinging her sword down in a vertical slash. Caera's blade cut through the soldier's armor and back, and they dropped their sword and staggered forward in pain. Caera lifted her ruby blade and swung it horizontally, cutting off the loyalist's head.

Caera turned around, and her eyes fell on two loyalists charging at her. One held a spear, while the other had a two-handed axe. Caera's eyes darted between the two soldiers, and she got into an attack stance. Suddenly, Sevren dashed in from the side and plunged his dagger into the axe wielder's neck. The spear wielder stopped their advance on Caera and turned toward Sevren wide-eyed. His face contorted into anger as he readied his spear, glaring at Sevren.
