Chapter 148 - Chapter 148: Hepta The Ghoul Queen

[Demon's Campsite, Concave Cliff]

Some time has passed since the front line troops decided to heed the Hero's suggestion of putting five flintlock user on the far end of the valley while provoking the enemy soldier by constant threats of attack

During times they manage to fork it out with some Demon's troops that are foolish enough to go out wild in the open only to be slaughtered

Two days have already passed since then and yet, they're target the Ghoul Queen never even made a move

For the third time in the third day, the troops started to move in to their places as five birdman soldiers checked their flintlock, with their race that has the advantage of a trait that can see farther than the others, the birdman race managed to become flintlock users upon the requirements of the beast race hero

As the flintlock users got to their positions, dozens of cat race that are mages and and archers stood out behind the gunners with a task on providing cover when the gunners are actually busy reloading

Patching the atta k of mages and archers to make up for the flaw of reloading intervals, the beast race hero managed to create a continuous assault for the enemy's

For now that is the method the hero uses until more guns or flintlocks could be made

As for the dog race that serves as a knight for the group, they stayed vigilant upon the surroundings with a task to protect the attacking unit

As the attacking unit closes in,some of the soldiers already went to their ambushing spots and waited for the right time of attack

Due to this many of the foolish demons died in that valley that cause distress among the campsite, with this in mind the Demon commander's that are stationed unto the campsite together with numerous Demon captains held a strategy meeting for this moved that was done by the enemy unit

As they discussed hardly upon the matter that almost gave them stress, they even begun to shout out loud and ridiculous ideas just to bypass this type of Cor wrong attack from the enemy

Hepta the Ghoul Queen, one of the four vassals of the demon king, we're leaning against a pole inside the meeting room quietly listening to these of commander's rattling about the matter

Since she really don't have any Interest in the military stuff, she just normally let such problems off towards the experienced to solve it, but some of the ideas of the commanders really made her chuckles she felt that such idea would only cause casualties on their side

With her well toned slight mascular slender body, coupled with her black skin tone and black braided hair with deep black eyes, she looked quite a beauty if not for the weapon beside her that has the same height of 5'8 as her

The weapon however was personally given to her by the Demon king which is called harbingers axe, such axe however was exquisitely quite compatible to her transformation that has the same effect of Belial's Magna form

After some thought the leading commander of the Demon army finally slammed the desk out of frustration, with his rough breathing and angered face, he almost look like he was about to explode until one of the Captain's suggested something that broke the pride of some proud Demon's

"How about we let madam Hepta join the battle? We all know that the Demon king's vassal is no merely just a title, the four of them has the power to overturn countries into ruins and if such statements and rumors are true then shouldn't we ask for their help? After all we are the same race"

Hearing that some of the logical captian's and commander's agreed nonchalantly in this matter, as for the proud Demon's they just gritted their teeth as they couldn't help but agree to what the captain said

Glancing back at Hepta who just casually listens to their plea, the Demon commander that serves as the head ordered her without respect at all

"Hepta! One of the four vassals of the demon king, I adhere you to atleast please point out your deduction towards the matter... . . As the commander we will try to listen to what you have to say"

Seeing that the commander still stick to his pride, Hepta couldn't help but shook her head in disappointment

"And who the heck are you to order me around? Do you even know how far both our positions at? Don't be cocky!!!" Taunted Hepta

With this the demon commander got himself humiliated as he gritted his teeth in anger and howled

"Who cares! Your just a vassal! One of the lowly type of Demon's! Who do you think you are trying to act like a strong creature? I'm a freaking high demon! A high demon I say...."

Before the Demon commander manage to say his last words Hepta already held his face up with one hand as she lets out her killing intent which made the temperature inside the room drop a lot

"Such cockiness just being a high demon... . . Who cares of what your status of type is... . . Your just trash who relies on his troops to do his bidding, remember! Among us demons... . . Strength is all that matters"

As she said this the Demon commander on her hand tried to shake her away but failed to do so, as Hepta actually showed such a display of strength by lifting him up with one hand

"You dare... . . Touch a high... . . Demon! Inconceivable!"

With his muttering words Hepta actually felt disgust, and without further ado she threw him right in front of her and hacked the commander in half with her harbinger causing it's blood to spray out profusely

In order for her to let out some steam, she herself suggested something that was out of the idea for the commanders and Captain's inside the meeting tent

"I'll handle those enemy scrubs... . . I'll show you that such strategy and formation is useless in front of overwhelming power" said Hepta as she stride out the tent

*****

On the valley as the flintlock users checked their weapons as they talk nonchalantly and wondered how many they could kill, a shout came from one of the scouts as he shouted

"Enemy! Enemy ahead!"

Hearing that they begun to position themselves on the trenches that they made and look ahead of the enemy

Surprisingly only one enemy this time headed out of the camp, and that particular enemy was actually a well toned woman

Due to the weapon she's wielding with one hand, the troops finally recognized the enemy as the Ghoul Queen of the Demon army which is feared among those who knows their existence

Immediately the magicians and archers shooted out their spells to force the enemy to charge forward without any remorse bringing her towards the flintlocks range

As they started their attack Hepta however smiled at their attempt to lure her and couched down unto the ground like a cougar, concentrating all her strength unto her legs, her muscles suddenly popped up upon her calf's as veins showed up indicating the stress she's inputting

After taking a deep inhale, she shot herself off the ground causing the earth beneath her feet to shook and explode due to the force she launched herself through

With her speed she managed to dodge multiple spells and attacks from the enemy troops archers and magicians bringing herself closer to the enemy

Seeing the monstrous speed the beast race army however started to activate more milder and faster spells rather than long and distant-destructive spells to cope up with her speed while the knights started to blocked her way of path undeniably trying to protect the back line

Due to that continoues explosion rung up on the valley as the troops actually rained numerous spells unto the speeding Hepta

Unfortunately Hepta's speed was inconceivably fast causing all of the spells and attacks useless in front of her

When she entered the flintlocks range, the gunners unhesitatingly fired the first round of bullets towards the Ghoul Queen unhesitatingly

Noticing this Hepta adruptly brought her feet forward causing her to slow down for a bit and used it's force to actually make her spin while slashing the ground in front of her causing it's earth and sand to shot up from the impact and serve as both cover and shield against the gunners attack completely blocking the bullets

"What!"

"Impossible!"

"!!!"

As the gunners react by that inconceivable reaction, they started to reload their weapon as they attempted to rain her with the second round of bullets

Taking this interval as a chance and not minding the cover up of both the archers and magicians, Hepta gripped her harbinger on her left hand as she used a long distance spell and slashed from behind the cover

"Critical slash!"

After sending that attack at that exact interval, it successfully hits it's Mark as it actually bisects ones of the gunners inside the trenches with no effort at all

Seeing that she succeeded on that attempt, Hepta couldn't help herself as she begun to feel excited and aroused by the cries of the fallen soldiers in the battlefield and realized one thing, "she was born to be in the battlefield"

Thinking herself as a battle junkie,a smile crept up on her face as she madly dashed forward towards the enemy

Surprised by the sudden death of their comrades the gunners immediately held their flintlocks and aimed as they send another round of bullets

This time however Hepta swings her axe as she maneuvered her harbinger with one hand and actually blocks all of the bullet

Without minding it's failed attempt the gunners immediately reloaded, as one of the gunners finished quickly he aimed immediately at the enemy, but suddenly as he aimed the muzzle, it actually got redirected somewhere else as Hepta instantly appeared in front of him and held it's guns muzzle

Unable to response quickly Hepta unhesitatingly bisected the gunner right in front of her and followed it by his king another one beside it

Quickly she killed another one that tried to fire the gun and grabbed the foot of the other birdman and slammed it unto the ground causing it to spill out blood from the impact

Without further ado she stabbed the birdman right through it's throat after ripping it's wings off

Surprised by her appearance the knights scowled in fury as she killed the gunners and charged at her, while the magicians and caster's now tried strong but shirt distanced attacks on her

Pulling out her harbinger hepta immediately swept unto the crowd and slowly slaughtered the troops like a flock of sheep's

After hacking away the knights Hepta jumped up from her position and smashed down unto the middle of the enemy troops as she activated another spell

"Ground shaker!!!"

With that the ground about 10 meters from her exploded and sunk down killing some of the enemy's troop

As for the archers and magicians that tried to stand up again, she undoubtedly killed all of them as the once advantageous valley for the Beastman actually turned into a slaughter house for one of the Demon king's vassal

With her alone she killed all of the stationed troops on the valley leaving the ambushing troops completely in a daze unable to retaliate due to her strength

Licking the blood near her lips, she placed her hand of her cheek as she shivered from the experience of killing the enemy troops after a long while of being docile

At last she was finally able to quench her thirst for blood as she spreads her hand and mocked the ambushing troops that are too afraid to retaliate

"Come on out! I know your out there!!! Is this what all you can do? Pathetic! That wasn't even a warm up! Come out! I still want to feel the thrill of the battlefield!"

Due to fear the beast race troops immediately backed away retreating back to their checkpoint leaving the Demon army high on morale for this turn around

Disappointedly Hepta pouted back towards the camp as she wished that "if only the enemy she fought was the people that Belial fought, just how much fun would she experience"

"It's not fair! How come Belial's enemy that time sounds brave and exciting than my fight here that seemed child's play?... . . I want to fight that human Hero and that kid that can control the nature's elements!!! They seemed excitingly worthy to be my opponent!!!" Complained Hepta as she felt envious of Belial

Inspite of that complaining she still dejectedly returned to her post, waiting for the army's next move

******

When the beast hero arrived few hours after that retreat, he was quite surprised on how strong the vassal are that showed up on the recording screen that was transmitted by the satellite from above

As he observe the enemy more and more, he begun to feel interested upon the enemy that it made him feel that he wanted to acquire her

"This is great! She's great! I want her! I want her! I'll try my best to charm her! She's the exact epitome of strength! With her strength combined with my experience, nothing can stop me" he muttered happily as he examines the recording over and over again familiarizing himself of her movements

With that in mind the beast race army came up with one retaliation, and that is to attack the enemy head on when they least expect it
