Chapter 109: There Will Be No Mercy For The Wicked!

-----

“RAAAAHHH!”

“OOOOOHH!”

“GRAAAAHH!”

The rallying roars of all factions echoed at the same time as the War Games began. Orcs, Thralls, and Beast people gave their loudest shouts and roars, and their weapons rose into the sky, lifting upwards and downwards, a way to show their respect to their God of Battle and Bloodshed.

Meanwhile, my faction remained silent; there was no need to scream or shout like monsters. Not even the loud cavemen said a word. Most of them had also grown pissed off that their foes brought little kids to fight, finding them dishonorable trash.

“They brought children... dishonorable trash! Do they want children to fight? Monsters!” Fiery Hair was ferociously angry, her hair waving like flames. “Bing Bing! What do?!”

“Calm down, dear.” I patted her shoulders. “I’ll save the children; you take care of whatever gets closer. Those with weird, dark auras... kill them. The rest, just knock them out.”

“Okay! Fiery Hair trusts Bing Bing!” She roared, her tattoos glowing brightly as her hands generated flames. “PEOPLE! WE FIGHT!”

“OOOHHH!”

The cavemen cheered behind her as they charged forward first. The other three factions didn’t even bother fighting with one another, quickly rushing towards us.

Well, several bastards instantly moved to kill the children, though. Weak and defenseless, they would be easy kills for their damned points.

These children had no points themselves, though; if they get killed here, they can’t revive.

And I cannot let anybody touch children as long as I am here!

“STOP.”

With a mere word, I unleashed a shockwave of light and electricity everywhere, all at once. Divine Photon Essence wrapping around the bodies of countless bastards and electrocuting them.

“W-What is this? Uuaaaggh!”

“Magic?! Is this magic- UGH?!”

“W-Wait, I wasn’t...! AAAHH!”

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

No mercy!

Those bastards, who ever considered killing a child?

They deserve no mercy, even if they were not even from this world.

Even if they weren’t cultists.

NO MERCY!

Their bodies exploded into countless pieces, and the children were terrified by the scene of blood.

“I’m sorry, but I had to do this; forgive me.”

I spoke to them as they noticed the Photon essence wrapped around their bodies, creating protective barriers.

I created over 150 barriers to protect all children within seconds.

It's nothing hard for me to do.

The barriers were further reinforced as I fused my Cosmic Relic Creation into the barriers.

“Stay there, and wait... You’re safe now, I promise.”

The children were confused, looking around at the bright barrier.

“W-We’re saved?”

“What... happened?”

“Mommy?! Is that you?!”

“I want my dad... Where is he?!”

“Buaaaah!”

Most of them were either asking for their family members or crying.

Poor, innocent souls.

I shall become your shield, forever and ever.

I won’t let harm come to children ever again!

Never... again...

I swore back then that I had made an oath to the last person who ever cared for me genuinely.

I promise that for as long as I lived, I would fight for every child I met and for every child I saw.

And that I would never hesitate to punish those who would dare bring harm to them either.

I promised that to you, Granny Zhi Hui.

“Now that’s taken care of.”

I moved at lightning speed. I incapacitated every warrior I met that wasn’t my target with a zapping strike of electricity and photon essence.

ZAAP! ZAAP! ZAAP! ZAAP!

Until finally, I found some of them.

“YOU! How dare you incapacitate those warriors and protect those soldiers?! You dare go against our God’s entertainment?!”

“Really?!”

“And these are so tasty-looking!”

“Full of divinity, gryahahaha!”

“Maybe you’re not too bad, boss!”

Demons of all shapes and sizes surged from the dimensional crack, viciously taking away the souls of cultists and devouring them. Belze took a couple herself, eating them as the souls screamed in agony.

“You’re quite the generous boss, actually,” she said, smiling. “I thought you were a goody-two-shoes, but you’re up for some mischief, eh?”

“These are all the souls of monsters undeserving of mercy,” I said. “Do whatever you want with them. Just obey my words, and you shall be rewarded with even more delicious meals, alright?”

“Sure!” Belze nodded. “You heard her, brats! We better work for our food!”

“YEAAAH!” they roared while laughing maliciously.

I wasn’t too fond of cooperating with these creatures of evil, but if they were sealed and imprisoned by beings that were even more corrupt than them, then it meant they probably were worse... or better.

And I kind of liked Belze; she seemed like a good girl.

“Do we offer you support? We can curse and stuff,” she said.

“Sure, just don’t kill those I don’t want to kill; can you do that?” I asked. “If you ever dare disobey, the books where you come from will get burned.”

“We get it, yeah! We’re your contracted demons anyway!” she laughed. “Let’s do it, fuckers!”

“Then let’s go!”

I charged forward, unleashing my electrifying attacks; any soldier that came close was electrocuted and knocked out instantly. The demons right behind me covered for those I had not paid attention to, cursing them and making them drop almost dead.

Sometimes they struck their heads very hard, making them almost bleed to death. They were brutal, but they obeyed my commands. Breaking a few bones in the process or giving them brain damage by striking their heads wasn’t out of the question.

As long as they don’t kill, yeah.

“There!”

I quickly sensed more of the participating cultists. They were gathering around the generals. All while my friends rushed to target them. I saw Urbosa and Merkite rush to fight Leos, Mursha target that shadow man, and lastly, Peperina went alone to confront Infernos.

I wasn’t too sure about Peperina’s victory, so I kept a close eye on her and would assist her if she needed further help.

But the rest? I was sure they would win.

“You demons can also sense their Auras, right?” I asked them. “Members of the Cult of the Barbarian God possess strange Auras packed with his malefic divinity; find them and kill them while I search for more.”

“Understood!” Belze said, spreading her wings out and flying into the skies. “Found a few!”

She smiled, descending towards them while four other demons accompanied her. She materialized a huge spear out of her own flesh and bones, which grew from her own arm, and then unleashed an attack.

“W-What are those things?!” one of the cultists panicked.

“D-Demons?!” The leader of their group screamed in horror.

“Hello, my meals~!”

Her spear pierced through their bodies within seconds, impaling them countless times and splattering their blood, flesh, broken bones, and shredded internal organs everywhere.

CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!

“More souls, yahoo!”

“Gimme, gimme!”

“Mine!”

The demons rushed towards the floating souls, but Belze stopped them, pointing her spear at them.

“Excuse me? I killed them; these souls are MINE,” she said. “If you want to eat more, kill the targets, got it? Don’t leech on me, bastards!”

The demons panicked as they stepped back. Belze was good at showing her strength and not letting others take advantage of her, I see.

She devoured the souls, feeling stronger.

Well, the skill itself also felt stronger; by letting the demons grow, the Skill itself also grew stronger, and its unique energy also grew in power and quantity.

This black and dark red energy, which seemed like a fusion of many evil energies, converged and is now flowing through my hands.

“So this is Primordial Demonic Heaven Essence, huh?”

“She’s there!”

“Stop her!”

“Kill her now!”

Suddenly, I found myself surrounded by even more soldiers—not all of them were cultists.

It looks like they quickly hired a lot of mercenaries, huh?

“Enough playing around, woman.”

And then, a tall orc stepped in, a hybrid between red and green orcs, whose skin was brown instead, with a few tattoo-like patches of green and red resembling flames.

He was over three meters tall, exuding an enormous quantity of Divinity from the Barbarian God, another Avatar, and a strong one at that.

“As one of the strongest Avatars of our God, I will not let you sully his battlefield anymore with your filthy righteousness!”

He quickly summoned two enormous swords, wielding them as he imbued them with green- and crimson-colored energies.

“Hah? Good, I wanted to try out this new energy’s power anyway.”
