Chapter 2 Two hundred years later. Part 3

The commander, and his knights, stopped in front of the thing that had made them laugh so far.

She was a beautiful woman, standing like a statue in the middle of the road or the place that was a road in the old days.

She was dressed in a full suit of shiny ornate golden armor. Which has been professionally made, like a masterpiece of great beauty.

Hanging below her stomach, a crimson cloth, rectangular in shape, reaching just below her knees. She had two swords on either side of her side; In golden sheaths studded with sparkling jewels.




Behind her, a scarlet cloak fluttered, on which was engraved a ten-headed golden star.

She was in her late twenties, with long chestnut hair hanging down her back. She folded her arms over her chest, her eyes closed.




They stared at her in a mixture of astonishment, admiration and amazement. She was of outstanding beauty, and her golden armor, glowing and shining in the sun like treasures. However, the captain quickly recovered from his stupor, and smiled mockingly at her gaudy clothes.

Which he had never seen.

                     

It looked really luxurious. Even a Sacred Emperor wouldn't be able to wear like her. However, to the commander, it was excessively decorative in appearance, and of little use on the battlefield.

The woman was standing bravely in these lonely ruins. The problem, however, was that it was a woman. If he was a man, he would be admired and praised. The commander hated women warriors, and loathed them fiercely. 




As he insisted that the woman's place is in her home. in her kitchen. To fulfill the desires and requests of men. Instead of doing men's work. Turning to his followers, he said with frank irony:

"Look at her, she is by herself, and no one is with her. That is true courage."




He burst out laughing loudly in his heart. Then he looked back at her and said:

"You woman. You should go home, or go to a prom in these clothes.. Maybe you've found a good bride for you. Damn, the The Dreaded  Mikur was right, I made armor for fighting, not for a prom.. Now I get what he meant."




"Eyyy!!"

One of the men, who turned out to be the deputy commander who had arrived late, shrieked with a vile shriek, stared at the woman with eyes as wide as saucers. In a fleeting moment, he slipped through them, and fled on his feet. 

Then everyone burst into laughter at this scene, which they had never seen from the Vice Commander before. And they all thought that a vice-captain would not suit him to be a man.




"Maybe it was a woman who had the shape of a man!"




So one of them said, which increased their laughter.

The commander did not care about his deputy, the woman who was whining on the run. And he wanted to make the woman tremble before him, so that she might know the difference between her and men like himself. 




Perhaps he will strip her after that, so that she will return humiliated and humiliated to her despicable kitchen, and she will never come out of it. 




Of course, after they have a little fun with her, this beauty cannot slip from their hands, without paying them their manly dues. Especially in this barren place.

The great commander had to reward his loyal knights. This woman wasn't the first, and she won't be the last. Such was the reality of the world.

The strong take it all, and the weak weep under their feet. And he began to wonder to himself as he stared at her: What sound will she make of that ? And Russo 's sparring set to work.

-" you !!"

The commander shouted in a loud, sharp tone filled with strength. His strong, roaring cries were enough to terrify the enemies on the battlefield, make the mightiest men tremble, and the children weep.

  However, the woman, as she was, did not care about him as if she was asleep.




The commander narrowed his eyes, and stared at them contemptuously from under his thick eyebrows. How dare you ignore me . And this insult, which he had never been accustomed to. He spat on her golden shield. He looked around her. Sweet and graceful, she must be prettier under these things.. But, why doesn't this damn woman answer? 




"Woman, I am Russo  . Commander of the Sun Corps!! Introduce yourself? .. I speak to you as a woman !!"




The woman answered without opening her eyes. In a disgusted voice she said:

"Oh, this musty stench!. Don't you know the word shower? There's no doubt that this is your natural smell.. rotten creatures!.. you never learn. So what do you want? Will you tell me, you spitting carrion?"




The commander's face was distorted with extreme anger, as no enemies dared to speak to him in such a despicable manner, let alone a woman. He thought that he would cut off her neck at that moment, as atonement for what she had said. However, he




needed information about her before that. He grimly said : 

-"What a rude, disrespectful woman you are. You must introduce yourself first of all. Then tell me what a woman does alone in this place? What is the story of these funny clothes you're wearing?!".

  The woman sighed and said softly:

-"The same questions every time. It's been two hundred years, and you still ask the same questions. Well. Every time I insist that you answer my questions, therefore, I think I'll answer you, though I don't understand why I say my name to dead bodies."




The captain smiled as if he had heard a funny joke and said:

"Cadavers? Us? Don't tell me you're going to do it? That would be too scary!"




The wind blew, and the dust scattered.

The woman's cloak behind her fluttered like a gigantic fire. Everyone held their breath as the woman looked like a great hero.




"My name is Blander, one of the founders of the Clan of Vintos , one of the great leaders , and loyal servant of Emperor LINIAS Vintos , ruler of the great fortress of Vintos . And this land belongs to the Emperor."




-"What, are you mad?! What are you saying. This is the kingdom of Verna . What you say is ridiculous, and who is this LINIAS Vintos !"

  Blander opened her eyes.

"A petty person like you does not deserve to know!"

  After those words, after which she did not say anything, she only opened her eyes. Screams erupted from the warriors, and the horses squawked frantically.




- " Devil . Satan . It's Satan !!. Prepare for battle!!"

The soldiers cried.

They quickly turned around, holding swords in their hands. Some drew their bows, some raised their wands, muttering strange words.




The captain jumped off his horse, smashing the ground under his feet, saying:

"These eyes do not belong to humans."




Blander 's eyes were all as black as the night sky. She looked like a black jewel placed inside her socket, and in the middle of that pitch black, a crimson dot like the fire of a dancing candle.

Blander moved those two scarlet dots to the people around her, like a wild beast staring at its prey. Every time she stares at one of her eyes, the person freezes in place from the intensity of fear.

Even the horses themselves retreat in fright, from those eyes staring at them.

Her eyes were terrifying, radiating death and hatred for everyone around her.

However, the commander, putting his sword on his shoulder, approached her, smiling confidently, as if he were walking in a garden. Not interested in that woman, and her black eyes, who terrified his followers. 

It was a display of strength and courage, a hero's attitude that made his followers scream with gusto and regain their courage.

However. He was terrified of those eyes, which were looking at him, as if he were a stinking cadaver.




His body was pricking him like needles from her stare, and he had never felt this before. However, he cannot show his fear in these moments, as showing weakness and fear on the battlefield means imminent death.

He had fought terrifying monsters before, and this would be one of those monsters.




He activated his enchanted sword abilities as he approached her, and the sword glowed with a white light. He gripped his sword firmly, preparing to carry out his sudden movement to end the fight quickly. And he thought: 




I've never seen a demon like this before...I might have used some illusion or magic to make it look like this, but what terrifying demon made these shields. No. It must be both. But this demon is really stupid.. She does nothing but stare . 




The leader stopped in front of her. A meter separated them, and that distance was within the effective range of his attack.

  He stared down to look at her, and Blander stared up, looking into his eyes, which were several times taller and larger than her.




  The captain said with absolute confidence: 

"It is really unfortunate that a woman of such beauty is a demon, but you don't look like a real fighter. You shouldn't have let me get so close to you without drawing your sword, or even taking your hands off your chest.




Well, not everyone who wore armor became a warrior, and I'm really sorry about that, but, I can't leave a demon like you alive. It is our sacred duty to cleanse the world of heretics after all."




  Blander stared at him silently, not understanding what the man in front of her was doing, and why he had called her a heretic .

The commander smiled in his heart at her stupidity, as she facilitated his task. sternly said:




"I regret your stupidity in the hereafter!".

He quickly swirled around himself like a hurricane in a fleeting moment as he grabbed his sword with both hands, using all his strength and momentum

.

It was an attack as fast as lightning, and it couldn't be overtaken or evaded from such a distance or even made a reaction.

Indeed, the woman in front of him, standing completely stunned, was unable to show any response with such inhuman speed. Those were his most powerful , sudden, and surprising martial attacks, from which no one had ever escaped.

shout says:   

"Die!!!".

And he hit her neck at that moment. The blade of the sword passed through her neck quickly, as if her neck was made of dough.

Her head flew into the air, her chestnut hair, fluttering behind her head like a flag, and then fell and rolled to the ground, her mouth wide open, her eyes blinking ceaselessly. Uncertified what happened to it. Blood spurted out of her neck like a bright red fountain, and her body started to dance, as if he couldn't comprehend what had happened to him at such an incredible speed. Her body shivering fell to the ground like rubbish

.

Or this is what the man imagined to happen!

His hands were numb from the force of the blow. He felt his sword colliding with a huge steel plate. I turned around quickly to see what had happened. His eyes widened like two bowls, as he could not believe what he saw with his eyes. 

- "Impossible!!! This is crazy!!!".




Blander was standing, arms folded over her chest, as she had been from the beginning. 

The commander's huge sword was pressing on her neck, without causing her anything. Panic screams erupted around him.

The commander was stuck in place, his brain had stopped working and analyzing what had happened.




-"Are you serious about what you're doing?"

So said Blander softly, as if telling him to get up from his tan, and wipe that silly look from his face.

  The commander regained his focus from those words. He turned himself in the opposite direction, faster than the previous one, aiming at her neck again.

However, the scene in front of him was like a dream.




The sword slammed into her neck so violently, there was no blood, not even a wound, or even a simple scratch. Confusingly, she did not move, but did not even blink her eyes. The only thing that moved was her chestnut hair and cloak as they fluttered from the wind force generated by the savage sword strike. 




The captain jumped back, away from her. He no longer understood anything. It was then that three knights of his followers appeared behind her.

The commander made movements with his sword, as if preparing to attack. To get her attention.




His followers did not miss the opportunity, and jumped over it like ferocious beasts. They stuck their swords in it. One was behind her neck, and the rest had their swords stuck in the joint of her knees, which was the weak point of the armor. However, they did not feel that they had penetrated her flesh, however. They did not stop what they were doing. They hit, and they hit, as if they were carving rocks. 

"Don't you know, that fondling a woman in this way is considered rude."

Blander said without turning to them. As if they were disgusting worms wriggling on their shields.

Their faces turned pale. Their strength evaded these words. However, the commander was flying to it like an arrow, taking advantage of this moment, while carrying his sword in front of him like a spear. Using his full speed, propped up with all his massive body, he plunged his sword into her throat

.

This attack, which was enough to pierce a huge demonic tree, and pierce hard rock, was useless, it didn't pierce her neck, didn't even shed her blood, and didn't even push her back.




The leader cursed in his heart this demonic woman.

The commander had a hunch that she wouldn't act on it. It was a hoax, taking advantage of her inactivity. As soon as the sword touched down her throat, it activated one of the abilities of the Enchanted Sword. Austral !




The sword was embedded in her neck and upper chest. Like being in the water. The sword came out from the other side at that moment.

It was Austral . It is one of the magical spells, which transform weapons into intangible things such as light, thus bypassing armor and all kinds of protection. However, it is not completely harmful as long as it is activated. That is why the Commander used it on this Demon. 

As soon as the sword passed through her neck, the commander turned off this ability. And the sword turned into a solid state, which is embedded in it. It was a hellish plan. The commander, and all his followers, smiled, and they began to feel relieved.

The commander said in a triumphant tone:

"You were such a strong opponent, I'll remember your name for a few days. What was your name again?"




And he laughed sarcastically. He continued by saying:

"I don't need to know your name, you motherfucker... well. I must draw the sword, and the despicable red rain begins.

Oh!. I forgot to tell you, my sword is equipped with a special magic, which is to cancel the healing magic. Therefore, you will not be able to heal yourself with anything. 

do not worry. I will watch you till the last drop of your damned blood bleed like a sheep. And then. Well, you don't need to know what will happen to you next."




  Blander was staring at the huge man in front of her softly as she stood like a mountain. She was disappointed with this man, and said, starting to get bored:

"Is that all you have?"

Those words froze his blood in his veins. A gigantic sword was embedded in her, yet she looked eerily calm.

The leader said, and fear began to creep into him:

-"You must die"

He grabbed the sword with a trembling hand and pulled it out, but the sword did not come out, it was still stuck in it. The commander pulled him hard, with both hands, and he did not budge. He pulled him screaming and moaning. Until the veins of his face swollen tight ropes.

Neither the sword nor the woman moved from her place. Then the leader lost his cohesion from these strange circumstances.

-"What madness is this... damn you, Satan!!!"




He threw many punches, kicks in the face.

He grabbed her head with his hands, and smashed her beautiful face, with his huge knee, armored with nails, once, again, third, fourth, fifth, sixth and tenth, crying out like a madman : 

"Die!!, Die!!, Die!! .Damn you!!!"




The spectacle was comical or perhaps even horrifying to them, Russo , who looked like a giant in front of the woman; And that woman who seemed tiny and fragile, would shatter from the beast's punches in front of her. However. She was looking at him wearily. It was as if those attacks were made of blades.

It was a horrific reality that made the seasoned knights shiver like children.

But. Russo did not stop his attack.

This time he grabbed his sword and snatched it away. Perhaps she let him slip out of her body from the intensity of the pain, which she felt from those brutal kicks and punches. A single kick from the commander could lead to death. The strange thing is that there was no hole in her chest, but Russo argument did not care, for she was a demon, and everything is possible with heretics . He raised his sword high and landed on her head, using all the strength of his body, the muscles of his back, his stomach, and the strength of his arms. Scream like a thunderbolt:

"Haaaaaaaaaaah !!!!!!" 

It was this blow that severed the dragon's neck, turning its flesh into dough. The succubus was undoubtedly split in half by this savagery and had become a mashed mass of gruesome red paste. But Russo  was fed up with the fertile fantasies of his brain, and waited with bloody eyes for what would happen.




His deepest fears came true as the sword hit her head, and the sword made a strange sound as though it was wailing in pain. The sword trembled in the commander's hand, smashing his fingers. His sword slipped from his hand. The captain groaned in pain. But he turned away from her as he jumped back several meters, and took heavy breaths as he looked at her. 

The three ran after her away.

  It was Blander , standing up without a single scratch. She was completely healthy.




The commander cried out in a mixture of fear, horror, shock, and pain. His mind could not comprehend anything of this madness.

-"This is impossible!!!. It can't be real. This sword rips a dragon apart. You can't be real. You are a damned illusion. Yes you are an illusion. Even magic has its limits..

Why don't you die? Why don't you get hurt?!!! Why don't you move? Why don't you speak? damn it !!!!! ".




Blander looked at the sword lying in front of her, and kicked it at its owner with boredom, as if to say: Try your best. Russo never cried in his life. However. He seemed to be on the verge of tears at this moment.

-" What do you want ?!" .

She said coldly:

-"What an effeminate man! You attacked me without any reason, without even answering my questions. Now you ask what I want.. Well, I want answers this time, that's why I didn't do anything to you, but I'm really starting to get upset about this. What are you doing? here ?!"




-"We are here to investigate this country, to find out what happened there, and the reason for the people's disappearance."

Blander said , as if speaking to herself:

"Hmm..so then, the previous people like them might have wanted the investigation and the information too. I didn't know that. Damn, they died so fast before he knew anything of them..if you knew that what would you do?".




The commander replied:

We will inform our superiors of this.

-"Okay, my next question. Are you really a man?"

-"what !"

The commander cried out in confusion as he hadn't expected such a question.

Blander continued :

-"Well, you know, there was a bet between me and my deputies, that you were a man or not. That's why... I was standing there doing nothing for you, to see what you really were, but. It seems to me, you're a effeminate after all ." At that moment, women's laughter rang out from the bells around them.

There was no one around them, however. Laughs were ringing in their ears like silver bells.

This was scary. The commander took his sword from the ground, and retreated back to his squad. Ignoring the sounds of laughter around him, his followers panicked And he looked at his sword




He could feel the sword ricochet in her neck, it was real. He looked back at her wondering: did she strengthen herself with magic, but magic is not absolute. A person may be able to use magic on himself, to protect his body from certain influences.

However, the magic will disappear after it is used.




For example, if a person casts a fire protection magic on themselves, and is attacked with a fire magic, the magic they cast on themselves would cancel the attack, and vanish at that moment. Because the fire protection spell had been used at that moment.




His sword was equipped with magic that eliminates magical defenses. So... what's going on here?! Was it an unknown charm? Or it was high level magic.. if that was true then there was no point in fighting, no one would be able to defeat her. 

This is ridiculous, it cannot be true, in this case, it will exterminate entire armies, without being wounded. Even if she gets tired, it won't matter because she won't get hurt at all. 

No. That's impossible, she might have reinforced herself with many defensive magic spells. Her immunity must end with a constant attack on her.

A white head appeared like a ghost, over the commander's shoulder, interrupting his thoughts, saying:

"What should we do?!".




The commander trembled, and was about to scream in terror. However, he recovered himself at the last moment. However. His eyes looked blank, as if they had died of despair. 

  The leader said while looking at the woman:

-"Kill her. Kill this damned one!!.without approaching her!!"




Horror, fear arose among the warriors, and they started screaming as if they had lost their minds.

" how !!!" . 

"We can't!!!" .

"You couldn't even hurt her!!!" .

"That's impossible!!!" .

" Not possible !!! ".

"This land is cursed!!! " 

"We are going to die!!"




The captain said in his voice, which sounded like the howling of a sick dog : 

-"Don't be afraid. It's a diabolical trick to spread panic in our souls. She used many magic spells, so we need to attack her with many attacks to finish her defenses!!" 




The arrows shot straight at the nightmare in front of them. However, the arrows would fall as soon as they hit their target. Like hitting a wall. even so. The arrows did not stop. They fired, they fired. One by one until the arrows ran out of them.

Their hearts slipped between their legs. The reason for their increasing fear and despair was the behavior of that woman, who was completely silent, looking at them, as if she did not care what was going on.




If she was screaming or defending herself or even protect her face. This would have brought back some of their courage. However, what they wished for never happened.

-"Use magic!!!!!!. You idiots!!!!!!!."




Commander shouted. In response to that. The group split in two, leaving ten people to advance. They raised their wands to her, and muttered inaudible words, and in an instant. Huge flames exploded, swallowing the entire woman in a beautiful golden vortex.




The fires died out quickly. The demonic woman, however, remained as she was before. Even her cursed hair was completely intact.

Blander said with a rigid face devoid of any expression. As if what you are doing is nothing but boring work:

" I think it's my turn." 




She walked towards them with soft steps. static. graceful. beautiful. The clicking of her golden shoes seemed to play an infernal symphony, signaling the beginning of the madness.

-"Shoot her. Don't stop, you idiots!!!!!!"

Many kinds of magic colors shot out, and rained down on them.

[Lightning!] [Radiant white spears! [Ice Arrows!] [Fire Arrows] [Fusion!] [Purification!] [Deafness!] [ Madness!] [Bright White Lights!] [Crash! ] [ Paralysis ! ] [The greatest death! ] [Drift!], [Freezing] [Personal Charm]




The woman stood before the leader, magic spells falling on her like rain , and said: 

-"I didn't use the magic or defensive spells you're talking about, your attacks were weak, and useless. That's it."




The captain who was standing, dumbfounded, trembling, frightened before her. He said :

-"I get it, I know you, I've heard about you. There was a great demon that controlled many powerful demons, they lived in the dark forest since ancient times. I've heard stories about it. That demon... must be you !! "




  Blander closed her eyes and said in a sad voice:

-"A demon?...You say of him as a devil. He was a great and pure man, kind and loving, who just wanted to live in peace."

At that moment, the veins swollen all over her face. Like the branches of a dry tree. She opened her eyes, which had turned crimson. It was as if there was a burning forest inside. Blander shrieked like a raging dragon:

-"But you. You, lowly human beings, attacked him and killed us. You destroyed his peaceful life. You made him sacrifice his life for us. We are back great mighty, but our master is not anymore.. All because of you damned humans, I hate you, and I loath to see you!! !!!!".




Ayeeeee !!!! The captain let out a panicked cry. Russo jumped out of this nightmare. But Blander approached the captain with lightning speed, and held him tightly by the throat, as though she were squeezing him from a lemon.




Putting her arms firmly on the ground. Unable to bear that crushing force, the commander collapsed on his knees like a wreck, choking, floundering, punching her in the stomach, hitting her strangling hand, like a baby.

- "Haha! Hey! Hey! Heyyah !!" He was asking for mercy, begging for his life.

She was a monster. Only fools make this woman angry. He realized at this moment, that he was one of those fools. Tears erupted from his eyes. Russo cried in terror for the first time in his life. And between his legs icy water flowed.




Blander stared at his red, swollen eyes.

-"Are you saying that you smell musty? Yes. It is musty and stinky. I hate your smell and can't stand it. Disappear from my face, you rottenness!!!!!" 




She threw a kick full of anger, pure hatred in the stomach; So fast that no one can see it.

The commander's entire body exploded like a bomb. He scattered the intestines, entrails, and blood over his followers like rain. Even his enchanted armor became like dough.

She threw his head behind her like garbage. She looked at the rest.

- "So do not blame your luck, that you have trampled on this land!!!!!!"

Screaming and crying broke out among the knights, as their brains could not comprehend what had happened.

Their intestines were lying on their chests, entrails strewn across their faces, and blood in their hair and eyes. Their leader fell to his knees. Suddenly, everything turned red in their eyes, yet they saw something unbelievable.




The leader's head was hanging from the demonic woman's hand. And then they realized that the meat crushed on top of them belonged to their leader.

- " Run. Save your life!!!!!!"




So someone cried. And there was madness in the place as the horses panicked, and started jumping and kicking the air. The knights fell off their backs, and some were crushed under the horses' hooves. Blander watched this madness and said: 

-"There are missing horses..why?!"




At these words, she vented her wrath upon one of the knights, who was writhing on the ground with his legs smashed by a kick from a horse. He crawled beside her. Blander crushed his head under her feet. The man could no longer feel the crushing force of her leg, as his eyes came out of their sockets, and the bowels of his brain were scattered like a rotten duck.

-"There is a missing horse?!".

- "No aaaaaaaa!!!!!. Mercy !!!!!". Another man's head exploded under her feet. Then another.

-"Haaaaah!!!!!!"




And they started jumping on their horses. They scattered everywhere like terrified rats.




But Blander , she did not like the corpses to go, with their heads on their shoulders. She issued the verdict, to take their heads when she said: 

"Kill them all!!"

In response to those words, four beautiful women like flowers appeared beside her. They were wearing military armour, matching her golden armour.




One woman, who had golden hair in a bun, said:

"All with their horses?"

Blander said : 

-"No. Leave them..mmmm, and what's wrong with this smile?" .

The woman said:

"I want to kill them all with their horses!"

Blander said : 

-" no no no. Leave the horses behind." 

"But I want to kill them with their horses."

  Blander said :

'Are you mad?' I said, 'Leave them. ' Angus told me , that he needed some horses, to give them, to the people he had brought here! .

The woman said:

"Okay, well, don't get so upset. So...how about keeping one person alive." 




Blander narrowed her eyes.

-"You're asking to keep someone alive. You, no... that's impossible, now you want to kill horses, now this. I don't think that's really what you're thinking, it sounds crazy as usual, but. Tell me what you mean by that?"




The woman's eyes shone brightly, as she said:

-"Oh. How do I say this, mm..yes. Well, listen carefully. We will let one man come back, after we tell him what we want, and of course we will tell him the truth. And after his superiors know about it, and the information spreads to the rulers or the kings or whatever they call themselves with it.

They will surely invade us with a large army, because we are monsters or demons as they always call us. And after that.. we will kill them all with their horses! ".




The woman smiled sadistically, looked at the fleeing warriors, and imagined the sight of blood, heads flying, meat chopping, and the earth turning red like putty. 

Blander said :

-" Liliana , you're still crazy as I knew you. What's your story with horses anyway?!..it doesn't matter."

Blander smiled savagely.

"But I really like your crazy ideas." She pointed her finger at the Vice-Captain, who looked like a white dot from afar:

-"This. This madman who runs on his feet, but let the horses and run them!"




Liliana smiled happily.

-"Heard obedience"  And she drew her two golden swords like the sun, by her side, and the rest of the women did the same. They ran like arrows after their prey, laughing like devils.

Chapter end
