At morning the group sat down to make a plan, they were all hungry because there were no monsters to hunt in this city.
They planned and prepared throughout the day and by next night it was time for another member of their party to evolve.
The night was tranquil and peaceful, all the drones and robots went back to the factory, so there was no sound to disturb the silence... Except near the factory, it only just started to make a new batch of mechs.
In the night sky 3 forms flew, each holding a bag with somethings inside it. The moon came out of its hiding and was currently shining down on the three individuals.
It was the middle of autumn, the nights were getting longer everyday, the temperatures were still quite warm, but soon it will start getting closer to 0 degrees. Of course these things were a bit mundane for evolved like Sera.
Still it was something she couldn't fully ignore, only at the rank of stellar will she be able to ignore any human problem, like hunger, thirst, sleep, feeling hot or cold, etc.
Need less to say she was very far from that, but evolving is a start... Which was also still far away.
They started to get closer to the factory. The lights were already in their view, they heard the machines, the buzz of drones... They broke the calmness of the night to pieces, but what they will do was going to be even worse.
The three of them flew high in the sky, way above the drones or the scan range of Death Dealer. When they were right above the factory Sera spoke to Lucy and Hellfire, because the wind was really loud up here, she had to shout.
"YOU KNOW THE DRILL RIGHT?!" Both of them nodded.
Sera went above the place where they found the army, this was her area of attack. Hellfire was above the main assembly line and Lucy was above the soul crystal maker.
The three of them opened the bags and took out the device within. Clockwork spent the whole day working on these, only he knew how they worked.
Flying in one place Sera looked at the device, it was the size of a medium sized box, there were wires running in and out of it. After turning it around a couple of times, she looked at the others... They were waiting for her next move.
She looked down at the device, then reached out her hands and thought.
'I really hope this works.'
After taking a deep breath, she released the device and watched it disappear from sight. The others did the same as well.
Sera asked Hellfire what kind of monster dropped this item. He said it was a small drake that could breath fire, it was a rotten of the 3rd tier. At first he wanted to use it, but the fire couldn't be stacked with his own... Which made it useless to him. Sera on the other hand happily took it.
The drones were rapidly approaching. Sera looked at Hellfire, he was in full armor with his burning halberd and wings. Lucy was in her eagle form and there was an armor on her, it is also one of the new items. It wasn't anything really special, but she could use it as an eagle and that made all the difference.
In Sera's hand the three meter long odachi appeared and with a thought the huge blade ignited with dark flames. In reality she didn't know how to use and odachi, but luckily against these drones, she just had to swing.
The first of the drones came near her and she moved towards them. Her weapon cut through the chassis of the drone like it was made of paper. She killed three with only one swing, then another two with the follow up.
There was also a reason why she chose this weapon style for the battle. The flames wouldn't really help much on their own, since her weapon could easily cut through all these robots with ease. But with the curve of the blade and a fast enough slash, she could shoot the flames for a couple meters farther.
It meant that every swing shot a projectile that killed a drone outside of her swords range.
The drones opened fire on her, but non of their shots could penetrate her armor or hurt her wings, which was the only unarmored part of her.
With each swing of her arm drones fell out of the skies in pieces, some were cut into two, some were melted from the dark fire and some very unlucky ones, she just grabbed and through it at another one.
After a minute or two her kill count was already closing on hundred, but there was just no end of the drone army. Even worse there were some with better railguns, those could shoot past her defenses, which meant she had to prioritize those.
A bullet moving around 20000 m/s grazed her shoulder. It didn't really hurt and the armor quickly covered it, but it put her off balance. She recovered just in time to see the previous railgun point tight at her face... But it didn't shoot.
Behind her helmet Sera smiled in relief... 'Thank god that worked!'
Suddenly about two dozen drone fell out of the sky around her. Physically there was nothing wrong with any of them, it was like they just gave up on life or were scared to death.
Using her ability on maximum power and on so many things at once really put a drain on her essence, but the battle was far from over. So she went back to ripping and tearing these robots apart.
Through the fighting she lost all sense of time and reality. Everywhere she looked there were just more drones and in her mind there was only one order... Kill them all.
Her odachi moved and the robots fell. Every swing was a death sentence, every slash sent a wave of fire and every move dodged a bullet that could've ended her fight early. The reason she fought and stayed alive wasn't for her family or anyone... It was that deep hatred she felt against the Archangel of Despair.
She didn't know if it was because of her unstable hormones or just simply because these drones were that annoying, but Sera loathed them so much that she became very disappointed when the drones began to fall out of the sky...
All of them were dead.
