Saintess? Not Anymore! I'd Rather be a Destroyer-Chapter 52 - 39: War 3

After a while the Arch Dukes came back smiling, King Boborous watched the disaster horrified as he muttered, "Our sources never said they were this strong..." He gripped his hands tightly and glared at King Girsal smirking.

Suddenly an extremely beautiful brown-skinned woman with six large, black wings, and a pair of empty dark eyes appeared. Her pupils were white with black crosses in the middle, she had an evil grin as she looked at the mortals.

[ This war has received interest from the god of war and goddess of games. ] 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

All the soldiers on the battlefield were shocked as they stared at the Angel. Everyone immediately knelt down in sign of respect. Aurianna looked up to see the woman, King Girsal muttered, "A heavenly angel of the god of war..."

[ The god of war has asked me to announce that the winner of this war will be granted 10,000 magic coins and the land and resources of the other kingdom. They will also receive the gods acknowledgment thus gaining their sponsorship. Remember, kings aren’t allowed to interfere with battles until the third round. So let the second round begin! ] commanded the Angel her voice spreading over the battlefield.

A screen then popped up before them [ the god of war and goddess of games are watching ]

"We mustn’t lose this battle, this round fight and slaughter them all!" King Boborous yelled as his dark knights marched towards the battlefield, carrying all sorts of intimidating weapons.

"I’ll send my children," King Grisal said. "All of you, destroy them!"

"Yes, Father," the children said coldly, walking towards the battlefield.

"Did they really bring kids to the war? Since they want us to kill their heirs I shall gladly oblige?!" A dark knight sneered as he charged a little girl who looked around 15 with green hair and green eyes, he raised his long axe and slashed down at her. Unfortunately, his head was immediately sliced off and she sheathed her katana.

"Kill them all, Leora!" Emirie yelled out loud, cheering for her daughter who blushed slightly. The battle had begun.

Aurianna smirked as she was surrounded by dark knights, "Seriously, level ten knights?"

"Aurianna, every adult human is level ten." Eva sighed, Aurianna snickered, "Then Sandeph seems to be a breeding ground for geniuses...or the best batch was wiped out at the start."

Aurianna immediately summoned her rifles, killing them all. She then dashed toward the thousands of incoming dark knights.

"I can’t believe there was an insignificant fool who actually thought they could attack Sandeph, the kingdom of magic, and survive," Aurianna said with a sinister expression before crushing a knight’s face with her bare hands.

Aurianna continued to rampage, she summoned her hover gun and shot a massive blast eliminating over thirty knights in one go.

’My movement feels faster with these boots,’ Aurianna thought as she noticed an increase in her speed despite part of her power being sealed. She twisted her body, her hands touched the ground and propelled her body upwards allowing her to land a kick in a dark knight’s face, blasting their head off. She used his body as a platform to propel herself upwards to land a drop kick on the broad sword of a knight, causing a crack. The dark knight tried to catch her but she summoned her rifle and shot his eyes. After blinding the enemy, she kicked him in the face, turning it to mush. She then jumped off his body twisting herself to make a spin kick and slashed four knights coming towards her. Their bodies split into two, releasing all of the guts and blood to spill as they slumped to the ground.

Despite the notifications Aurianna was receiving she ignored them and continued her slaughter. She summoned a sniper gun and smiled as she shot down some dark knights from afar.

King Girsal stared at Aurianna with a slight grin but suspicion filled his eyes, ’So that’s the strange weapon. A gun...’

[ Ace Kick ] Aurianna kicked a dark knight’s head off, causing blood to splatter everywhere.

’I never knew killing weaklings like this would be so much fun,’ Aurianna thought, not noticing the sinister grin creeping onto her face.

"She’s just a kid, let’s capture her and hold her hostage. We can’t beat those monstrous Dukes," a general who sat on a drole ordered his subordinates. The other dark knights looked at him, afraid to move, "This infuriated the commander and he yelled once again, "Charge, for wealth and glory, run if you wish to face the king’s wrath!" This motivated the knights, battle cries were heard throughout the war zone as soldiers started advancing towards Aurianna.

[ Death Magic: Gunners Despair ] Aurianna muttered, making fifteen rows of machine guns appear around her; they started shooting at the enemy knights. Despite raising their shields the bullets penetrated their defenses and pierced into vital arteries and organs.

Wielding two rifles and shooting down every enemy knight in her path, she wasn’t the only one doing the slaughtering...

Freed created massive flowers that bloomed out of the enemy knights, turning them into disfigured and mutilated gardens.

Husae caused the enemy’s body to erupt while draining them of their blood. The blood gathered up in the sky and immediately turned into a huge water ball. The ball then morphed into an array of over a thousand spikes and crashed down onto the knights killing over two hundred of them at once.

"Please perish," Helto stated and the knights rushing towards her all fell down dead. She was a teenager with short brown bowl cut hair and a pair of mesmerizing emerald eyes. She wore a long black dress.

’Helto I almost forgot about her. Her magic [ death speech ]. If she tells someone to die they’ll die but it depends if the person has a lower level than her,’ Aurianna thought as she passed b y Helto adding a girl who looked similar to her. Her little sister Leora.

She then spotted the others and found Nigie being protected by monsters. They were like humanoid beasts without faces but having large mouths with sharp teeth. All of them that died were immediately replaced by new ones which formed a mob and started to kill the knights. Nigie was a bronze skinned girl with long black hair and a pair of green eyes like King Girsal’s.

Aurianna then spotted Yogi just throwing threads around, mincing the knights into pieces. The Saintess raised an eyebrow as she watched the young child slaughter the knights with an innocent smile as though she was playing a game.

Aurianna watched the battle unfazed after Queen Amber and the concubines went on their rampage and the enemy’s knights were panicking. Even though there were people killing each other, it was one sided. Because all the Vanluad children were slaughtering King Boborous’s army.

Aurianna spotted a knight whose eyes glew red with rage as he lunged at her but missed. His sword shook as she pointed it at Aurianna. "I will not die like this..." He gritted his teeth as he swung his sword at her again, Aurianna shot him in the head causing his brain to explode, the fluid gushing out of every hole.

As Aurianna finished killing more knights she spotted someone and her gaze turned cold...

Ralph was beaming with ecstasy as he wielded his twin sabers connected by a gold chain and slashed the dark knights who attacked him into minced meat within a few minutes. As a knight tried to sneak up on him, Ralph used his finger to touch the knight as he did a flip in the air turning the enemy into stone then to ash. The other knights stared at Ralph warily before attacking once again.

"Your coordination is pathetic!" Ralph sneered as he spun his blades, clashing with the knight’s weapon, theirs gave out and Ralph sliced their body in half in one fell swoop.

Aurianna stared at Ralph coldly gripping her rifle as she shot several knights approaching her. Their movements, as always, seemed slow to her, so she could easily predict their actions and attack them at their vitals.

She then looked back at King Girsal and his mistresses. She locked eyes with him for a second and immediately looked away. She glared at Ralph one more time before picking up a sword from a dead knight and throwing it towards the knights attacking him.

Since Ralph was too busy fighting the knights his reaction was delayed and he barely dodged the sword, this gave a dark knight a chance to slash his back, Ralph yelped with pain before killing him. He looked around to see from where the sword came to find Aurianna grinning at him before dashing off. Ralph’s vision got blurry but that didn’t reduce his fighting prowess. Electricity sparked around his hands and he electrocuted the knights. He was fuming as he schreached, "Aurianna!! You’ll regret this!"

"I was sure you were going to kill him," Eva stated in Aurianna’s head.

"I wanted to, but I had to think rationally. One of King Girsal’s rules is to not kill each other. And I knew he was watching me. He probably saw me throw that sword, but I didn’t hit Ralph," Aurianna shrugged. "It would have been a wrong move. I’m not strong enough to endure the consequences of killing Ralph and facing King Girsal’s wrath, yet...even though I’m impatient, I must think of the disadvantages first."

"Yeah, that’s some smart thinking there," Eva praised.

"I’ll just continue to kill these knights to appease my anger," Aurianna smiled.

All of a sudden everything turned dark as she appeared in a black empty space. "Wasn’t I in the battle field?" Aurianna thought looking around. Just seconds later, she caught a pair of eyes staring her down...
