Chapter 47: Harvesting Aether From The Gate Massacre: Save That Goddess For Me
Screams tore through the front of the city’s wall as fifty soldiers fell on the spot under Senna’s hands with blood streaming from them like a manmade river.
Just as two guards dashed toward the left flank of Senna, Lyra Ashveil vanished from her spot. She reappeared at the front of the guards in a blur of midnight-blue steel with her longsword sparkling in front of their faces. "Wanna flee?"
With a single horizontal swipe, forty guards fell to their knees with blood dripping down from their torn right arms in a millisecond. She continued to wipe them out in twenties while moving her body like a ballet dancer.
Senna Drae grinned and shoveled through the guards like they were rice that needed to be plowed. Blood dried on the dark dagger’s jagged blade whenever she melted into the walls’ shadows and began slicing through throats.
Wet growling sounds echoed as bodies fell to the ground, one after another, dead.
Loud howls erupted as the crimson-winged beast carried the carriage forward and stopped at the front of the bloodied ground.
A sweet whistling sound erupted from the transport as its obsidian door swung open. Strands of brown hair swept through the old copper coin and rotten iron air when Levi stepped out.
"Wow..." He tucked his hands in the pockets of his trousers and nodded at the guards that were being slaughtered under the hands of his beloved assets. "Just as I imagined it to be like from the very first day."
His eyelids widened when he shifted his gaze and saw the deadly look Senna was wearing, but closed his eyes when he turned and focused on Lyra’s hellish expression.
The blue panel shimmered before his eyes when a trail of blood swung through the air and tugged at his left cheek.
[Aether Generation Active from Vanguard Kills.]
[Current Aether Pool: 200... 400... 650/1000.]
[Rank: Mid-Tier Master.]
’Nice.’ Levi nodded with a grin, then closed his eyes with a sharp inhale. ’So, their kills increase my worth as well. That’s adorable.’
The sound of cloth and boots clicking erupted as he walked through the rampage with a smile on his face.
Wet plopping echoed beneath him as he began stepping on the corpses one after another. "Oops!"
Two guards that had isolated themselves charged toward Levi, but he just looked at them with a saddened countenance and smiled when the blade of Lyra’s longsword flashed before his face and chopped the heads of the guards off.
Lyra smiled when Levi winked at her and gave her a thumbs-up. "Good job."
Her cheeks reddened with the thumbs-up still reeling in her head even as she charged after two fleeing guards. ’Ohh yes...’
Sparkling white glows followed Levi like dual suns as Mother Beatrice and Saintess Lilith began following his path.
They exchanged warm glances then spread their arms sideways. A wave of golden light dashed out of their veins and flew through the drifting air of the holy central city as they combined their energies.
Debris began raining on the silver streets of the city as structures began collapsing upon coming into contact with Mother Beatrice and Saintess Lilith’s holy powers.
Stone tower walls began to hum, while weak stone peeled itself away as a high-pitched frequency shot through their mouths and forced every charging mage in the city to dribble onto their knees the moment they closed in on Levi.
’Oh, why didn’t they tell me there are sweet chicks here?’ Levi’s heart plummeted calmly in his chest when he saw ladies with spectacular, lewd bodies that any human wasn’t supposed to possess.
Saliva snaked down his throat when he saw a fully grown lady with three huge breasts and a body like a goddess kneeling among the mages. ’Who...’
Sparks ignited in the air as he stepped onto a fallen sword and turned toward Mother Beatrice. He pointed toward the three-breasted lady and tilted his head downward slightly. "Save her for me."
Mother Beatrice’s eyes dulled for a second when she glanced at the face of the Baroness and nodded with a bit of jealousy in her eyes.
Crimson feathers drifted through the air above Levi and the two holy assets as the crimson-winged beasts flew the vessel to their center.
The kneeling guards’ eyebrows widened with shock when they saw the crimson-winged beast.
’The Crimson Sovereign is free!’ The same statement lingered through every watching eye as the obsidian door of the carriage swam open. ’The servant isn’t as bad as he has been described.’
The sharp clicking sound of heels echoed as Maya Sirius stepped out into the open and turned toward the kneeling mages and the junior Battle Mages as if they were abandoned family. ’I’m here to make sure you’re all free, just as I am.’
Her crimson cloak rumbled at her sides as she took slow steps and stopped at Levi’s side like his wedded wife.
"My King." Maya Sirius lowered her head and leaned on Levi’s left shoulder. "The Empress and the entire council of the capital city are not here."
Her face flashed when a wave of heated energy seeped out from Levi’s skin and shot through her skull like a love potion.
Maya Sirius drummed her fingers on Levi’s chest while the energy rattled through her bones and veins like a spreading wildfire.
’The council? So there is a council here also.’ Levi glanced once at Maya, then winked at each of the kneeling mages he was yet to get in touch with.
His chest heaved calmly when he took in Lilith’s welcoming gaze and smirked.
Lilith placed her palm on her chest and nodded with a smile. ’Why is master glancing at me with that look?’
She kept her eyes locked on the silver ground for a moment, while her eyeballs played hide and seek in their sockets. ’I will go crazy and lose control if he looks at me with that same presence again.’
Saintess Lilith closed her eyes and composed herself before cracking them open. The strands of her long, golden hair cascaded down her face like liquid light as she straightened herself.
Mother Beatrice drew her energy back and squinted at the main imperial avenue closer to the golden, glowing dome of the Duke’s tower.
A faint smile appeared on her face when memories of her years in the Holy capital flashed in her head. ’They must be hiding in the inner sanctuary.’
She closed in with Maya Sirius, then bowed to Levi. "Master, I know where they are."
