Rise of the Inquisition (Arcs 7-9)

Chapter 181: Time and Fury

On the Inquisition's side of the Battle for Aria. Messiah and Lady Athena both charged forward together, both of them gripping their weapons tightly in their hands. Behind them, both soldiers from House Athena and Wolves followed. Ashley, charging in from behind held out both of her hands, and fired multiple ice spikes at Legionnaires charging forward at them. While at the same time, Delta flew over and spewed down green flames upon the Legionnaires. Coating them completely in green flames. As a group of Legionnaires push forward, Messiah punched the first Legionnaire he saw in his throat, while Lady Athena held up her sword vertically, parrying the Legionnaire's sword while she used her other hand and fired a firebolt at the Legionnaire's chest.

"The Legion of Death is getting brutally fucked!"

Moments after Messiah yelled, he swung Duumholt around him and split open the chest plate and chests of six Legionnaires who had him surrounded. Causing them to fall over, with their lungs and internal organs hanging out. Lady Athena on the other hand charged forward, holding out her left hand she blasted a Legionnaire with a firebolt, before proceeding to pierce into the neck of a Legionnaire that charged from her side. At the same time, another Legionnaire charged forward and she quickly parried his sword, then proceeded to kick the Legionnaire in his crotch and pierced into the heart of the Legionnaire as his defenses were lowered. She then watches as two more Legionnaires charge at her, and she holds out her left hand and sends a flurry of firebolts at them. The firebolts repeatedly hitting them in their chests, and a few of them are sent crashing onto the ground. After all the fighting, Lady Athena was breathing heavily.

"Damn... it has been a few since I've last been in a fight like this."

Messiah cuts down a Legionnaire who charges at him, before he proceeds to nod his head.

"I can see that Lady Athena, you're already breathing heavily. Maybe if you spent less time in the bedroom with Paladin, you would've been more prepared!"

Lady Athena couldn't help but chuckle and shake her head.

"If anything Messiah, those times we've spent together have helped with endurance. But listen Messiah, I still have a lot more fighting left in me, so let's keep pushing forward!"

Messiah chuckles as he nodded his head.

"Then show me the fight left within you, Lady Athena!"

Paladin, still standing at the gate with the Frostarian General Zelox, cleared his throat.

"General Zelox, what is the status of your Frostarian Military."

General Zelox walked over to stand adjacent to Paladin, and as he interlocked his hands behind his back he turned to look back at his army.

"Lord Inquisitor, at the current moment the Frostarian Military is not at its full might. Of course, this for the obvious reasons. The military still needing time to get organized, a good portion captured or abandoned in the western regions, and some trapped inside Frost. With all of that said. Lord Inquisitor, I do believe the Frostarian Military combined with your Inquisition can push the Legion of Death out of Aria. With your dragon, and assuming you have brought an army with you. I believe that even as the others have not arrived, we can still save this city."

"Glad to hear it General Zelox, I too believe we can still save this city."

"Indeed Lord Inquisitor. Now, what did you have in mind for pushing the Legion of Death out from Aria?"

Paladin placed his left hand on the bottom of his chin. He proceeded to look at the ground, as he thought about his strategy.

"Well... we have an army pushing behind the Legion of Death, and I intended to put the Legion of Death into a tight pinch. No matter what strategy we use General Zelox, Aria cannot be lost."
