Transmigrated As The Perverted Young Master -
Chapter 187 The Unholy Fire!
The Four Border City was supposed to be the most secure place in the entire world, partly due to the Magic Judiciary being the building base of the city and largely due to the Grandmaster himself. But today was a different day, where the pride and might of the people inside the city was shattered as a glass dropped onto the floor.
The night was lit up by fires, huge fires that were eating the buildings alive. The once proud towers of the city now collapsed under the assault of the enemy's weapons.
A lone figure stood at the peak of the highest tree in the cemetery, looking down at the burning city below. "This is shaping to be a good day. I should crumble these folks' pride and security and make as much damage possible," he chuckled and slowly raised his hands, dark energy seeping through them to the ground.
Hundreds of thousands of armored men attacked the city, slashing down anything that is moving with their swords. Their movement was mechanical, and a wheezy sound came from their mouth.
Flaming blue color occupied their eye socket, making them look like they were nothing more than mere marionettes.
Barnie's heart raced as chaos engulfed the Four Border City. He darted through the streets, his armor clanking with every step. The flickering flames and billowing smoke created an eerie backdrop as he desperately searched for his comrades amidst the sea of panic-stricken faces.
The deafening sound of war surrounded him—shouts, clashes of metal, and the anguished cries of the wounded. His mind struggled to process the overwhelming onslaught of information. Buildings collapsed around him, sending clouds of dust into the air. The stench of burning debris and the metallic tang of blood filled his nostrils.
"Shit!" He cursed under his breath as he saw a battalion of enemies coming at him. He turned left and continued his sprint through the narrow streets.
Through the narrow valley between two buildings, Barnie saw a familiar face—Daphne, wielding her enchanted sword, striking down any enemies that got in her way. She was not alone. Some nobles were with her, too. He thought she was protecting them.
He yelled as he ran towards her, "Daphne!"
Daphne glanced at him, her face tense. She nodded at him and rushed towards the enemy.
Barnie gritted his teeth and wielded his sword, joining her. "We have to get out of here! We need to get to the other judicial knights!"
Daphne didn't answer, instead, she thrust her sword into an enemy's chest. She ripped it out and let the body fall to the ground before turning to another incoming enemy.
Barnie noticed the nobles were not useless at all. They were as skilled as he or Daphne was.
"I need to replace my brother," One of the noble ladies said, slashing down on an enemy with her magical sword. The night was not friendly at all, as they didn't even see what happens to an enemy once they were on the ground. Dead or alive, they were swallowed by the darkness.
"We will replace him," another lady said. A fire burning from her open palms and engulfing a nearby enemy. It was the first time he was even hearing his enemies screaming. "We need to make the civilians safe, Dani. Then we can move on to replace your brother. How long can you hold up?" She asked Daphne. "I could destroy them without any problem, but it's their numbers that worries me. I don't think we can win this if we don't run."
"I know," Aurelia replied. "Let's go to the main street. We can take a carriage there. If we stay here, we would be trapped."
Aurelia made her fire bigger, engulfing the enemy in flames. "Can you make a path for us, Daphne?"
Daphne nodded and started slicing down the enemies. Barnie joins them.
"Come on," Aurelia urged her friend to follow her, who was entranced in slicing down every single one of them. "We're moving."
Aurelia and Dani followed the lead, occasionally slicing enemies down. They saw innocent civilians being cut down like a sack of potatoes. Their house burns as they breathe the last of their air.
They saw kids crying in fear, while adults tried to shield them from the bloodshed. But it was futile, as they were killed mercilessly.
They passed by a group of people, all of them carrying children. "The Judiciary building!" Daphne shouted to the remaining civilians. "Take shelter in the Judiciary building!"
Barnie had never seen anything like this. It was a catastrophe.
The screams of the innocent rang in Barnie's ears as they made their way through the devastated streets. His heart ached with each life extinguished, each family torn apart by the merciless onslaught. The city he once swore to protect now lay in ruins, a twisted labyrinth of death and destruction.
They reached the main street, where chaos reigned supreme. Bodies littered the ground, the crimson stains blending with the charred remains of buildings. The acrid smell of smoke hung heavy in the air, choking their every breath.
Aurelia led the way, her fiery powers lighting their path and warding off any enemies that dared to approach. Daphne fought with a ferocity unmatched, her sword slicing through flesh and bone with lethal precision. Barnie followed closely behind, his own sword singing through the air as he struck down any enemy in his path.
Then they suddenly stopped on their track, every single one of them, even the civilians. Their breath caught as they saw the sight in front of them.
"My baby boy," a woman from the civilians they were escorting started to weep loudly as she limped towards the kid, tears trickling down her face.
Daphne tightened her grip on the sword, readying herself.
"Wh-what is that?" Barnie asked, his voice barely audible. He took a step back as he saw the abomination before him. It was no kid. The thing emitted a foul smell. Smell like rotten flesh.
And it was not alone. A bunch of former kids slowly walked towards them, scarring the civilians more.
"Daphne, wh-what is that?" Barnie grabbed and shook her, as a little kid does.
"Dead!" At last, Danielle spoke, her eyes steeled and her hands gripping her sword. "They are undead!"
