Chapter 78: Second Fortress Part 9.
''Oh, Daniel died.'' Greed said without caring much, but then he looked towards Pride and smirked, ''That was the guy you chose as General, right?''
Pride's face morphed into anger, and his body started glowing in red.
''Incompetent bastard!'' He roared angrily and pointed his finger towards the battlefield.
''Calm down.'' A calm voice echoed in their ears.
Pride lowered his hand and bowed, ''King Lucifer.''
Pride bowed, his Pride Incarnation doesn't allow him to bow down to anyone, but Lucifer is different.
It was like his natural instinct to bow.
Other Sins and Black Death bowed as well.
But Lucifer's figure was nowhere to be seen.
He was still sitting calmly in his Throne Room, but his voice alone can travel hundreds of miles.
''I can feel it... This battle will determine the winner of this war... Losing isn't an option.'' Lucifer's calm voice echoed in their ears.
''Yes, King.'' They said simultaneously.
After those words, Lucifer's voice and presence disappeared.
Pride stood straight. His pride didn't get damaged even slightest because he knows that Lucifer is the Apex Predator, someone he can't defeat.
But, still, a voice rang in his mind, ''Do not submit!''
Pride clicked his tongue.
Of course, he doesn't want to lower his head, but only death awaits if he doesn't.
Greed was also getting annoyed.
He is getting back pain for bowing too much.
Lucifer is old fashioned King.
You need to lower your head when you see him, but Sins has gotten more disobedient lately.
The only reason why Lucifer hasn't punished them yet is because he needs them.
And the Sins know it.
Black Death is different from them— he always acts respectful in Lucifer's presence.
Unlike Sins, he isn't very liked and respected.
Even though he is the sole reason, the First Fortress was standing even after 4 years of fighting.
Even Lucifer is doubtful of his loyalty.
Which made Black Death's loyalty almost nonexistent, he still feels grateful, but he is not going to fight till death for them.
Lucifer has been trained to be the best possible King since birth, strong, calm, merciful, and ruthless when needed.
But he lacks one critical thing needed for King. Loyal subordinates.
His subordinates are the strongest he could find, but because they are so strong, their loyalty is shallow.
*CLANK*
*CRASH*
*SWOOSH*
The battlefield was filled with bright lights, arrows, and screaming men.
There were few soldiers with flashy superpowers, like one managed to make his skin glow, which made him obviously the primary target, and he soon died.
Why did he use it? No one knows.
Most of the soldiers have E and F-ranked superpowers, while few has D.
Most of the soldiers counted on their weapons because only a few soldiers had offensive superpowers.
Alliance Forces soldiers felt more spirited than ever before because Incarnation of War is on their side!
Ray danced around the battlefield, already reaching the body count of 1000.
His blade was the scythe, and he was the reaper.
Finally, the stronger Superpower users of Death Continent targeted Ray.
''RAAWRRR!'' One of the Death Continent soldiers turned into a giant gorilla!
The gorilla was around 10m tall with brown fur all around his body.
Ray felt his survival instincts screaming for him to jump backward, and he did as he was being told.
*BAM*
Gorilla's massive fist crashed on the ground where Ray was only a second ago.
The punch alone killed about dozen Alliance Forces soldiers.
''YEAHHH!'' Death Continent soldiers started cheering.
Soon, the war went into a stalemate.
Alliance Forces soldiers was behind Ray, while Death Continent's soldiers were behind massive Gorilla.
Gorilla growled and looked with his mad-looking eyes towards Ray.
Heroes and the Sins looked at the scene.
They now know that the one who wins this upcoming battle, their side will probably win the battle between armies as well.
''Go, Ray!'' Lust cheered loudly.
''Why are you cheering him?!'' Pride shouted angrily.
Lust pouted, ''I can cheer whoever I want!''
''Y-Y-You imbecile!'' Pride was fuming in anger.
''I am not imbecile, I am smart person.'' Lust said proudly.
Pride clenched his fist, ''I swear... After this war is over, I will show you that the only good thing about you is your body!''
Lust sat down and crossed her arms, ''You are a meanie.'' There was a massive pout on her face, with tiny teardrops appearing on the corner of her eyes.
''Why did Lucifer send her and not Envy?!'' Pride roared angrily.
''Even Sloth is better.'' Greed quipped.
Killian heard their conversation with his great senses.
''They are fighting between themselves,'' Killian said with a smirk.
He and other Heroes were standing on top of a small hill while thousands of tents were behind them.
William was in the middle of the base in the huge tent.
He was clutching his chest in pain while sweatdrops trickled down his face and dropped down to the map.
The map had only one color.
Black!
William knew that the monster who was making him feel immense pain was nearby!
''W-We will lose... W-We will lose...'' He gritted his teeth in pain, he had a phone only a meter away, and he could call more reinforcements.
But then his pain will never end.
Jack and Lilith was sitting on top of the massive mountain.
Jack was thinking about his next course of action while Lilith had her nails digged inside her palms.
She was biting her lip with enough strength to make it bleed.
She was looking at the scene of others making fun of Lust, who was almost crying— she also heard everything.
'You poor thing...' There was a visible blush on her face and small hearts on her pupils.
She was wearing her pink-colored dress, which she used when she first time met Jack, and it perfectly showed her curves.
Her breasts almost popping out, while her smooth legs were visible.
'Men are scum...' She thought hatefully while looking at Pride and Greed joking around and making fun of Lust.
She hates most of the men— the only exceptions are Jack and her followers.
The reason why she doesn't hate Jack, because there isn't any sign of lust while he is looking at her.
There was reason she wore a very revealing outfit, to see does Jack get any reaction.
But Jack went past her expectations.
He only looked at her's eyes, nowhere else.
She can also feel if the people are lusting after her with her ability, and the only people who aren't lusting after her are Jack and her group of followers.
She could feel that Lust is similar with her, lonely...
'You won't be lonely anymore... I will be with you.' She thought with a bright red face.
She thought of a few lewd scenes which could happen between her and Lust.
'I am a bad girl...' She covered her face and squirmed around.
*Ding*
Jack raised an eyebrow and took a phone from his pocket.
He saw a message coming from Ariane.
The picture was of her being on a beach in a very revealing bikini.
Jack's cheeks dyed in pink, he put his phone back in his pocket.
'Wait... Is she alone there... What if some bastards are looking at her...' Jack's eyes glowed in crimson.
But what Jack didn't know was that the 5km area around the beach was completely empty.
Ariane was all alone on the beach with a calm smile, while a picture of Jack was in her hand.
Of course, she doesn't allow anyone to look at her body— it is only for Jack!
Ariane giggled and kissed the picture, ''I wonder if he is worried about someone seeing me?''
Back in the Death Continent.
Jack was clenching his fist and biting his lip.
It was quite of sight of two individuals acting strangely.
Lilith was squirming around with a blushing face, while Jack looked extremely worried and angry.
Back in the Battlefield.
Ray started running towards the massive Gorilla.
His speed wasn't that great, it was even below average, but the Gorilla didn't underestimate him.
Ray's forehead was drenched in sweat, he had been fighting many opponents, and his stamina wasn't that great.
That might be his downfall in the end.
The Gorilla reeled in his fist and did a straight punch towards Ray's incoming figure.
Ray used all his strength in his legs and jumped.
He barely jumped over the fist and landed on the arm of the Gorilla.
Ray started running on his arm and soon appeared in front of the Gorilla's face.
The Gorilla growled menacingly— he opened his terrifyingly big mouth and took a large bite.
But... He didn't feel like he ate anything.
Ray suddenly appeared on top of the Gorilla's head.
''RAAAA!'' Ray roared and stabbed his two swords into the skull of the Gorilla.
''KRAAAYAAAH!'' The Gorilla twitched in agony— he started stomping the ground, accidentally killing few of his allies— he tried to grab Ray and crush his tiny figure.
But Ray barely dodged the massive hands.
He let go of his swords and jumped off the massive head.
He was about to land on the ground near Alliance Forces soldiers who had massive smiles.
They already thought that Ray won.
But then...
*SWOOSH*
An arrow pierced through Ray's figure!
''?!'' Ray widened his eyes in shock— he fell down on the ground and spat mouthfuls of blood.
''GENERAL!'' Few of the Alliance Forces soldiers screamed— they quickly started carrying Ray and retreated all the way down to the last row of the soldiers.
They put Ray gently on the ground who was still spitting blood.
His eyes were filled with blood, and he saw the soldiers' pained faces.
They already lost hope of Ray surviving.
Ray looked at the arrow tip on his torso— the arrow pierced through his body, but only barely, and only the tip of the arrow exited his body.
