POWER: A Tale of Greatness

Chapter 88: The Resolves of the Opposing Blades

A few minutes before Gordon defeated the Gorge and his serpentine monstrosity, James and Hiro were also facing their own battles, fights they have nothing to do about, yet still chose to pull their weapons out and fight for those who cannot.

Nearby the evacuation area...

"Shoot them down!"

"Bullets aren't worki–"

"Stab 'em!"

The demons surrounded the City of Thor, slowly moving inward, aiming for the Bifrost inside the pyramid. Dark clouds started covering the whole country, an upcoming downpour is imminent.

BANG! BANG!

As hordes and hordes of demons pushed in, their overwhelming numbers started to suppress the human soldiers who can do thing but defend themselves.

"Buddy!" a soldier exclaimed at another soldier who is about to get pounced by a demon. "Behind you!"

"Sh–"

SLASSSHHHHH!!!

"Idiots..." a kid filled with blood slashed the head of the demon. He breathes heavily, as if he ran a marathon for days endlessly. Trembling is visible on his hands and legs, weakened, but his aura remained sharp and firm. "... don't get too close."

Before they could even reply, the kid disappeared out of thin air.

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

"They kept on coming..." Hiro smirked before sheathing his swords and leaping up in the air. "I can't lose... I can't stop... I have to show that fishman that I am greater than him."

"Tsk! This plains dwellers kept on blocking my way... Get out of my way as I am helping you... Idiots!"

...

The evacuation of the people is still on going, but the waves of demons devastating everything, almost endless, making the evacuation more challenging. A heavy downpour showered from above, almost making everything difficult.

"Take the civilians to safety! Quick!" A higher ranked soldier ordered.

"But Captain Ox, there's too many of them! The demons also kept on interrupting!" The soldier named Armsway exclaimed while rapidly shooting the opponents.

"Then take half of the platoon and guide them, the other half go on the frontlines and kill those demons!"

Rifler yells from behind, running to the frontlines, "Sir, we can't do that! Even a whole platoon cannot do anything against the–"

"Just focus on the de–"

A powerful gust of wind blew passed them. In an instant, the demons on the frontlines fell. It was a glimpse, in a blink of his eye, Ox saw a figure before it disappeared in the air.

"What the?" Flemming spoke.

"Focus on the civilians' evacuation." Captain Ox ordered.

"But, sir, the demons–"

"Just do it!" He exclaimed. "We're not fighting for the enemies to be defeated. We are fighting for the lives of the innocent to be saved."

Hiro continued to dash around the Bifrost, slaughtering another horde in seconds, adding to more than tens of thousands he just took down within ten minutes.

"But how can are we going to do that, Sir?" Flemming asked.

Hiro leaped and slashed, and bolted then dashed farther and farther away.
