With both commanders now absent, each of the armies fell into chaos
Trizian Slaves rebelled against their masters, and they managed to take control of their formations and pointed their swords at their rulers
It seemed that they had planned for a long time to free themselves, and they even chose one of the slaves to be a commander
His name was Rovi: he was the prince of the former kingdom of Ibris, now in control of Trizia
These slave soldiers, some in the middle of the battle, some at the rear position, took the death of Sovol signal that they were all waiting for
There were around two thousand soldiers now killing their own masters
Now, the Trizian army was dealing with both armies single-handedly
In fact, they were still outnumbering their enemies, but their lack of command and lack of mobilization...they were losing a lot of soldiers
Empires legion somehow managed to gain their consciousness... one captain of the legion chose to command the army... leading the front himself
"CHARGE, DON'T LET THEM GET PAST YOU'RE POSITIONS"
Even tho legions managed to repel some attacks of the enemy, it was still not enough
Enemy flanks managed to drive back the parts of the legion
Legions without a proper command start to dissolve
Fear and sorrow began to appear in Legion's flanks
Some former slaves attacked the legion for a simple reason...
If the empire had won, they still would have been slaves no matter what
Eryme is no better from the Trizian Empire... these legions are ruthless nonetheless
So the battle now involved three armies against each other.
pain
sorrow
and fear
For hours, there was nothing but the battle of Despair; no one knew who would be the winner
At the center of the battle, there were piles and piles of bodies, which prevented troops from confronting each other
It was getting dark... the sun was finally going down
But at the end of full dawn
sun looked like it stopped
A man appeared in the air looking like god
This was none other than Hilus
light of the sun shone down on his body
He looked like some kind of divine person coming down from heaven
ALL THE ENEMIES OF TRIZIA BOW DOWN TO YOU'RE DEMISE
I'm HERE TO BATHE THE ENEMY IN MY FLAMES
Legion knew that this meant one thing: High Marshal was defeated
In disbelief, some troops fell to their knees, praying to divine light
But some of the captains of the legion still took the strength they had left and managed to attack the general with spears and swords, with fire inc
In an instant, Hilus melted the weapons with fire sparks in his hands
EMPIRE NEVER LEARNS WHEN TO GIVE UP
YOU'RE TIME IS GONE, THE DOWNFALL IS CLOSE
ALL OF YOU WILL BE SLAVES OF TRIZIA
In fury, Hilus merged both his hands, making a fireball of gigantic size
He threw a single one at the single legion
The formation of the empire was blown off in an instant
Hilus made sure to keep doing the same attack over and over again
explosives so big that one fireball was enough to eliminate one legion
Trizian army suffered some losses in the process
heads and body parts were blown off, and fire spread inside the lines of formation
In the midst of chaos, nobody knew who was on their side or who was their enemy
Hilus didn't stop the attacks; he didn't even spare his own comrades
He liked fire...no...he loved it....he loved the smell of the burnt body
He loved fear in the eyes of a man...
He loved the chaos and despair.
In the pains of others, he found happiness
He never showed emotion until now... he lifted his chin and smiled
....HAHAHAHAHA.....AHAHAAHA.....
YEEEESS I LOVE IT....SCREAAAM SCREAAAM MORE
I WILL BURN DOWN THE WHOLE WORLD WITH MY OWN HANDS
NO MORE LOVE NO MORE HAPPINESS NO MORE PEACE...ONLY FIRE
His headband burned down, showing his face
which was covered in the burnt scars
Red eyes....he clearly was not thinking straight
This human has only known killing and killing...nothing more
He rose into the air, looking at the sky and gazing down at his own chaos
...
But something seemed off
The fog was still there
It was closing back on the troops of Trizia
why?
He defeated Vyre; his ability should be gone by now
The fog cooled down some of the fire that ignited on legions of the empire
In the midst of chaos, he appeared wearing torn clothes and armor
sword still in his hands
Hilus could not believe his eyes...he seemed different than before
But Vyre was still alive somehow
*flash*
A slash of frost was already on his face.
*explosion of ice*
from the fog, Hilus fell to the ground, but before he did
He used his soul ability to draw Sun's fire to his hand and throw it at the enemy
Vyre used his sword as a shield and repelled the attack
(Hilus) I see you're still alive somehow...even tho I smelled you're death earlier...it seems I missed it by a tiny bit
(Vyre) Do we really have to do this, Hilus? Remember what the trizia did to you're family, they tortured you and your whole village for weeks, and after that, they burned alive each family in their own houses... You're the only Survivor of Enidor village... why don't you seek revenge on those who did that to you? Do you still want to be their slave after that...huh?...why are you fighting us?
(Hilus) hahahaa...those who did that are already dead...next month I burned all five hundred man alive...in their camps....I was ten years old back then, but now...now I've got nothing to lose or gain
I JUST WANT TO BLAZE THE SUN EVEN BRIGHTER AND BRIGHTER SO THAT ONE DAY IT WILL EXPLODE AND ERADICATE ALLLLL OFFFF USSSSS
A fire broke out from his back...it looked like some kind of wings
In an instant, Hilus was already at the face of the enemy
inside of his palm was a single dot of yellow fire...he pointed at the Vyres' head from below
"Sun core"
A big line of fire blast went from his hand
But he barely dodged it...it made such a big blast that the clouds disappeared in the sky
a single line of fire but very destructive...if it could hit a person, no doubt he or she would be dead
Vyre took the distance far from him
Hilus noticed that he was scared of this ability
So he now uses it from the side
Vyre tried to deflect it with his sword, thinking that he could tank it
But the sword broke, and it made a hole inside of it...luckily, the sword made the blast go in a slightly different direction
Now he jumped in the air, aiming at Vyre
"Sun waves"
The blast now made a wave of fire...it looked like water at first, but it was blazing fire
The wave hit some of the troops...soldiers were all vaporized in an instant
*fog of death*
Vyre used Frost Wave to defend against its attack
Both attacks made such an impact that troops were getting knocked out from the pressure.
(Vyre) What is it that Trizia is after, huh? answer me hilus
(Hilus) I don't know what they want....and I don't care to be honest...I didn't even wait for their orders...I was so excited... I left with my army in a hurry... the blood of the enemies should be spilled quickly, don't you agree?
(Vyre) So you're saying they are preparing to attack us with more armies?
(Hilus) Again, I don't know a thing...and you're still talking in the middle of a fight
*Core**Core**Core**Core**Core**Core*
Hilus used his blast ability multiple times, making unavoidable explosions
It made a big impact that almost made a hole in the mountain behind the battlefield
Earth started to move because of these explosions, and with it, cracks began to appear in the field
This was a man-made earthquake that shook the armies of all parties, but mostly the Trizian
because their number was vast, their troops began to fall into the depths of the earth
Again in the distance, it can be seen...the smile...the only smile in a war
The sun began to move down... it seems Hilus used too much power, so he cannot stop the sun's presence
With the sun gone, he remembered something.
<<<<<<<<<
Time: year 748 (20 years ago), 9 days before invasion
In a certain house in the village, two people were sitting on a bench not far from the house.
There and then, there was dawn....the sun's warm light was shining on the lone house standing on the hill.
(...) moom? Where the sun goes when it goes down
(...) hmmm, it goes to sleep, just like you....it gets tired after a long day, so it needs a rest
so that in the morning he will shine even brighter than before, it will warm our house and garden....
Night stands now...with the sun gone, fireflies appeared...igniting the night.
(...) Where is father mom? Why won't he come back home?
(...) ...he is far away, son...he is fighting evil monsters that lurk in the night. He does so to defend our country and our village... our house...
(...) So in the night, monsters will appear here, too?
(...) No son, you're father is there to defeat them... even now.
The boy at the bench, now with the mother's embrace, began to drift into deep sleep
eyes shrinking, yawning, not a care in the world...ooh to be a kid again to have the loved ones at you're side to be in the comfort of the normal sleep, to eat your mother's meals to play with the village kids.
I would do anything to experience that again, but... It's just a dream
Nine days later, everything that I knew before would be destroyed...
A Trizian army invaded our village, which was very close to the border between the two countries.
Soflar Army was defeated, which meant one thing: my father was dead
Behind our house, there was a little basement that would go down to the cave, which was small enough to only fit one person, so my mother decided to hide me there
Instead of me, she ran to the other villagers, but Trizian Troops caught her
I would hear her screams for the next few days without a stop
I remember when those screams stopped, it meant one thing
So in rage, I picked up a nearby stick that was lying beside the basement
and left in a hurry for my house
But once I got inside, everything was on fire, and the soldiers were already gone
And there she was, lying cold, without response
I screamed and screamed, but to no avail
fire began to slowly burn down the house
In fear without a thought, I left her lifeless body and rushed outside
As I stand on the hill, tears in my eyes, I see blazing houses around the village
all the grown-ups I knew and the kids that I played with...they were all gone
But something happened in the moment all the flames began to circle around me
In my eyes, there was only hatred for those who did this; they have to pay for this
they have to die...they have to die...they have to die...
flames became part of me, part of my soul, part of my emotion
Their souls of torment were part of me
In days to come, I would only eat berries and nuts that would happen to be in my way to their camp.
They were not long gone after the raid, so it was easy to spot them since it was a large army.
They made their first camp not far from the border
So in the night, I sneaked into the middle of their camp
With the blazing fire, I engulf their camps in an instant
I could hear them scream...it sounded so amusing, with excitement, my body started shivering. It was a beautiful song, all of the Wretch, they were singing beautifully
In a couple of hours, the place was empty, and none survived
The sun appeared again, warming my shivering body with light
I remembered something
It was before the raid, at the bench, my mother and i.... before I doze off
(...) Remember, son, Sunshine is my sign of love. As long as the sun appears, it means that I will always love you
But....but.....how can there be love in this cruel world? Monsters took away my mother, my father, my fellow villagers, they took away everything that I had...
Tears won't come out anymore...only hatred, only hatred for those monsters
So that's how I lived my whole life, living amongst my enemies, secretly killing them, using them to get more info
But that also lost its meaning.
In time, Hatred was turned into the pleasure of hurting others, no matter who it was
ahhh....I killed so many innocent...so many with no reason.
It was all the purpose I had...
all I had....
Time: Now
Location: Battle of Solobi
I'm Sorry, Mother, it seems I lost my way.
