Chapter 169 - 168 – Mysterious Man?

Within seconds the only remaining soldiers had spread across the plains and the tornado lost its strength. The tornado left an enormous trail of destruction.

The ground had become infertile wherever he had passed. Huge holes were also drilled in the ground where he passed. Nearby villages were destroyed and Southlein's army had lost all its strength.

What was left was just pieces of wood, pieces of bodies that hadn't been swallowed, and a lot of blood all over the floor from the rain of blood created for a few minutes.

After everything was finished, the armors that were miles away deactivated the magic.

The weather had returned to normal, the winds had disappeared and all that was left was destruction.

When the magic was turned off, the armors nearly fell to the ground without force, leaving the soldiers who could see them worried about what had happened.

The commander who noticed this ran to the front lines.

"So what happened? Is it all over?" He asked with a worried expression, but none of the armors said anything. They didn't seem to be able to speak, so one of them just nodded.

"Really?" The commander said again as a smile spread across his face. He started bouncing around like a child.

"EVERYTHING IS OVER, WE WIN!!!" He yelled this over and over again. The soldiers who were previously worried started to do the same thing.

They squealed happily as they bounced and hugged their companions. What brought them the most happiness at the moment was that they wouldn't have to battle and risk their lives.

"Thank the goddess."

"Fortunately."

"Thank you."

Some of them even started to kneel as they thanked the goddess for all this, but their hopes of making it back to the house alive were dashed.

The commander, who continued to bounce happily, let out another battle cry.

"NOW LET'S MARCH DIRECTLY TO THE CAPITAL OF SOUTHLEIN AND LET'S CUT OFF THE KING'S HEAD!" He stated this as if it were no big deal.

The soldiers who were previously celebrating were speechless as they stared at the commander in disbelief.

They had already won, Southlein's army had already been destroyed. Why would he want to march to the capital of Southlein to destroy everything? The soldiers didn't want something like this to happen.

The soldiers wanted to go home and rest.

"WHAT'S IT? WHY ARE YOU GUYS SO DISCOURAGED? THIS IS OUR CHANCE TO DESTROY THE ENTIRE SOUTHLEIN IN ONE TIME." The commander began to get even more excited, making even the Vice Commander start to question his sanity.

The commander was almost starting to drool as he shouted these things, he didn't believe the commander was sane.

"COME ON, LET'S MARCH DIRECTLY TO THE CAPITAL. WILL YOU GUYS NOT OBEY ME?" The commander withdrew his sword from its scabbard. As his eyes rolled back and his face turned red, he began to threaten his soldiers.

The soldiers knew he was strong, and now that he was beside himself he was even more dangerous.

"YOU GUYS WILL OBEY ME, ARE YOU?" He looked directly at his army as he took slow steps and his eyes rolled back and went completely white. It was a terrifying scene for anyone watching.

"YOU GUYS ARE GOING, NO?" He said again as his eyes turned completely black and his arms started to shake.

The soldiers withdrew their swords and were prepared to face him if necessary. Even the Vice Commander who respected him so much had already withdrawn his sword to protect himself.

"WILL YOU GET AGAINST ME? YOU GUYS WILL DON'T OBEY ME?" He said as his body shook even faster and his skin turned red.

After a few more seconds, his body began to shake even faster as his eyes spun. The sword that was in his hand fell to the ground and then he knelt.

"AAAAAAARG~~" After he knelt, he put his hand on his head and let out a squeak of something in agony. Everyone looked at that scene while they couldn't understand what was happening.

The commander started to roll on the ground as he held his head and his skin grew redder and redder. After a while, blood started coming out of his eyes, nose, and ears.

Within seconds a pool of blood had formed as the skin on his body peeled away revealing a red husk.

His armor and clothing were ripped off by himself. No, his armor was torn like paper even though it was iron. It was a scary scene.

At this point, all the skin on her body had been peeled off and had been replaced with red skin or scab. It was skin very similar to that of a lizard, its skin now red as blood.

"Aaaarrg~~" Her hair and animal ears fell out, little black horns grew on her head and her hands and feet now had much longer claws than before.

Also, her tail has been replaced with a thin red tail.

Most impressive were her eyes that turned black and a white ball that replaced her iris was formed. Also, within his iris, three colors began to circulate. Green, red and blue.

Her eyes were strange and had everyone mesmerized.

Before long he had turned into a monster never seen before by any of the soldiers. The eight armors were also looking at him who had now fully transformed.

His pain seemed to have disappeared, so he was silent and stood up.

Confused by what was happening, he looked down at his hands and then began to shake when he noticed the sharp claws and his skin that now looked like a lizard and was completely red.

He ran a hand over his head and noticed his horns.

After that, he started to shake even more and looked like he wanted to cry, but his tears weren't coming out.

"Ababa, awaa." He tried to start speaking but only his tongue that was now split in two moved, but no words came out of his mouth, it was as if he had forgotten how to speak.

The soldiers were terrified of it.

The commander suddenly turned into a disgusting monster in front of everyone's eyes and without any explanation.

But while the commander looked at the soldiers to try to communicate, he forgot about the armors.

"Awaa, abaaa, awaa, aa-" The commander who had now transformed began to see the world upside down, he didn't even notice that his head had been ripped off with one movement before falling to the ground lifeless.

The soldiers were even more horrified as they watched the commander's strange head fall to the ground as he released dark green blood.

"Looks like he got caught." The armor that had approached and ripped his head off said.

"Do you think it was the work of enemies?" The soldiers who heard this thought they were talking about Southlein's army, but the armors were thinking of other people.

"Perhaps. Only they could turn someone into a demon-like that. But what was the purpose? They know they can't kill us just by creating an inferior demon."

"I don't know either, but we should talk to our master."

"Yes, we must."

"But what about the other soldiers? Are we going to let the remaining ones flee?"

"Don't worry about them, most of their army has been destroyed, we'll soon be sent to the capital of Southlein and we'll be done with it."

"Right, so I think it's time to go away."

"Yeah, before you leave, get rid of this guy's body here, and get rid of the remaining monsters as well."

"All right."

Then began the retreat of Beastled's army. One of the armors incinerated the commander's body, another armor quickly got rid of the rest of the monsters, and the other armors were already marching directly to the capital of Beastled.

The entire battle had been over in an instant and now they would return to await further orders.

After finishing all the cleaning, they withdrew carefully while arguing a bit about what had happened.

"Do you think we shouldn't cooperate with our enemy in Southlein to destroy everything?"

"I think it would be a good idea, but I don't think the master will want this."

"It's true, he doesn't like to cooperate with his 'brothers and sisters"

"Yes."

With this discussion, they ran to catch up with the Beastled army that had already gone far enough. After pulling away, a person appeared in the same place their army had previously been.

It was a man wearing a black cloak that blocked his entire face. He stood there for a few more seconds and then a strong wind hit him revealing his face.

His jaw was big like an Orc's and his eyes were big and disproportionate, he had an eccentric look.

Also what drew the most attention were the small black horns on his head that were previously being hidden by the hood.

"I think I should go back and let her know about it." He said as he put his hood back on and ran away.

He disappeared in an instant.
