It was night time so Pete was sleeping,
The strand of dark energy got out from his body and entered the sword,
The night passed and the sun rose,
Hundreds of knights riding Pegasus arrived at the city,
They started patrolling the city and some stood on the city wall as soon as they came,
They only let the children, women and old people escape the city and kept the people who can fight,
They also stopped the thugs from looting the abandoned stores and houses,
Pete and Leona have closed the door and windows of the house they were in,
They were sitting in the dark with their weapons ready for any situation,
Pete said,
"We can't even go out "
Leona said,
"We have food for a week but after that we have to go out "
Pete nodded and said,
"Let's worry about that when the time comes "
Most of the citizens have escaped the city and the remaining ones were escaping,
The knight captain was standing at the city gate helping people escape smoothly,
One of the knights said,
"Sir, why did the kingdom send us here when most of the citizens have already escaped? "
The captain said,
"It's because of the mana stone mines. "
"The kingdom would have sent more knights, but they need them in case of the dwarves and elves decides to attack. "
The knight nodded and said,
"Sir, what about the hero "
The captain said,
"Don't engage with him even if you see him."
"The holy sword in his hands is dangerous "
The knight then said,
"Sir, when do you think the demons would attack "
The captain thought for a moment and said,
"According to the calculations, they would most likely attack in seven days "
Couples of miles away from the city,
Thousands of monsters were gathered at one area,
A tent protected by five demons was at the side of the area,
Inside the tent, An elf and an dark elf women were sitting on two luxurious chairs,
A demon entered, kneeled down and said,
"The army is ready my queens "
The elf turned towards the dark elf and said,
"What do you say, when do we attack sister? "
The dark elf smiled and said,
"They are expecting us in a week so let's surprise them "
The elf said,
"What about that hero, he has killed two of our sisters "
The dark elf said,
"They must have dropped their guard when fighting with the hero "
"Don't you know, these heroes are extremely lucky"
The elf nodded and said,
"Then let's attack tomorrow with the sunrise and make their life's sun set "
The monsters began to run towards the city,
Only the flying monsters stayed behind with the demons,
In the city,
The citizens were still fleeing,
The day passed and sun sets down,
A knight in a Pegasus arrived at the city and shouted form air,
"The monsters are marching towards the city... get ready "
All of the knights gathered at the city gate with the soldiers and the remaining citizens of the city,
They hastily began to prepare to defend the city,
Pete and Leona also heard the knight,
Leona said,
"What should we do, flee or help this city? "
Pete said,
"I will not run away, there are many citizens that have not fled, and we have to protect them "
Leona said,
"There are only two of us... how will we to protect them "
Pete said,
"I don't know how, but I know I can so I will protect them "
Leona smiled and said,
"I knew you were a good guy... let's rest for now and prepare for the battle"
After couple of hours, at the midnight,
The knights could hear the sound of trees falling,
The sound first came from one side but soon spread around the whole forest surrounding the city,
The monsters were surrounding the city,
The sound of trees falling and monsters stomping continued until the sun rose,
With the rising sun, the sound completely stopped,
But now the monsters could be seen through the trees,
The flying monsters also arrived and surrounded the city with the ground monsters,
The elf and the dark elf women were hovering above the monsters and watching the city with the five demons,
The elf chanted a spell with a strange language and filled the sky with dark clouds,
The dark elf also chanted a spell and turned the clouds a little greenish,
The knight captain looked at the sky and said,
"These are poisonous clouds... "
The adventurers and mercenaries also gathered at the city wall at that moment,
Pete and Leona were also with them wearing a cloak,
The elf ordered one of the demon,
"Let the ground monsters attack"
The demon bowed and whistled,
The monsters all rushed toward the city as soon as they heard the whistle,
The ground was shaking with the stomps of the monsters,
The knights manifested aura swords and aimed at the monsters,
First rate adventurers and mercenaries also manifested aura weapons,
The whole city wall was shinning with the aura weapons,
They shot the aura weapons as soon as the monsters got close,
The thousands of aura weapons penetrated thousands of monsters,
Some of them died while some of them were injured,
A smile came up on everyone's face in the city wall when they saw the frontlines of monsters dying,
The knights captain shouted,
"Prepare for the second attack "
All of them manifested aura weapons again and shot them towards the monsters,
The aura weapons again killed thousands of monsters,
A demon said to the elf,
"My queen, half of the ground monsters have been killed "
The elf smiled and said,
"I guess it's our turn now "
The elf and the dark elf both chanted a spell,
In the city wall, Most of the people had a bright smile on their faces,
One of the soldiers said,
"This is too easy... they are dying without a fight "
A few green raindrops fell at that moment,
The knights captain looked up in the sky, covered himself with aura and shouted,
"Cover yourself with aura and those who can't, find a hiding place "
"It's raining poison "
The knights, first and second rate warriors quickly covered themselves with aura,
While the soldiers and the citizens started running away to find a shelter,
But they were falling down from the wall due to the scuffle,
Pete and Amira also covered themselves with aura,
Leona asked Pete,
"Why are you not attacking? "
Pete said,
"They will know it's me if I attack "
The poisonous rain began to pour on the city,
The rain drops burned the part of the body it touched,
Some of the soldiers even jumped from the wall while getting burned from the rain,
The knight captain said,
"If only we had a mage here... "
Soon the poisonous rain stopped but it had already killed most of the soldiers and the citizens,
Above the monsters the elf women ordered the demons surrounding her,
"Go and make a path for the monsters "
The five demons flew towards and city while taking out their weapons,
One was carrying a big axe, one had a spear and the tree had swords,
They all manifested 100 meter tall master aura weapons as they flew towards the city,
Shock, disbelief and Fear could be seen in the knights and others on the city wall,
The knights captain said,
"How is this possible.... not one but five master rank warriors!!! "
The flying monsters also flew towards the city while the ground monsters were getting close to the wall,
Nobody noticed the monsters as their focus was on the five master aura weapons coming towards them,
Pete was also focused on master aura weapons but he noticed the monsters flying behind the demons,
He jumped up on the battlement of the wall and said with aura infused in his voice,
"Focus on the monsters, I will deal with those master rank warriors "
Everyone on the wall came back to their senses with Pete's voice,
One of the knights said,
"I think this kid has lost his mind... he is spouting nonsense "
Pete took out his cape and said,
"I am the hero chosen by the goddess and I can kill those demons "
The adventurers and the mercenaries were surprised when they saw Pete,
The knight captain said,
"We thought you would run away but you didn't "
The knights have anger in their eyes and were tightening their fists,
The knights captain said,
"We would attack you but this isn't the right time "
Pete nodded and turned towards the demons and unsheathed the dark holy sword,
The monsters abruptly stopped in their tracks as soon the sword gets out,
Even the demons have stopped and were looking at the sword,
The elf and the dark elf women were also surprised by the ominous energy emitting from the sword,
The elf said to the dark elf,
"What is that weapon? "
The dark elf said,
"I don't know... I have never heard of a weapon like that"
The elf said,
"What do we do then? "
The dark elf smiled and said,
"I heard that he is the hero so let's exploit the weakness of the heroes"
The elf smiled and chanted a spell and disappeared,
One of the five demons said to others,
"My instincts are telling me that the weapon is dangerous "
The other demon said,
"We have to attack, the queen has already entered the battle "
The demons nodded and one of them whistled,
The monsters began to charge again as soon as they heard the sound of the whistle,
The demons strikes with their master aura weapons,
Pete quickly jumped up towards the master axe and blocked it with the dark holy sword,
But was slammed on the ground by the force of the master aura axe,
The dark energy had entered the axe and started consuming it,
By the time the axe reached the wall, it has reduced to a quarter of its original size,
But it was enough to kill couple of knights and destroy half of the wall,
Pete was lying on the ground groaning with pain,
The other four master aura weapons hits the city wall at different places at that moment,
The wall and the houses that were in the range of master aura weapons broke down,
More than half of the knights, adventurers and mercenaries were killed,
The monsters entered the city through the broken wall and started destroying everything,
The knight captain ordered the knights,
"The city wall has been breached, there is no point in standing guard here "
"Go and kill the monsters inside the city "
The remaining knights, adventurers and mercenaries quickly ran towards the monsters inside the city,
The dark elf flew up to the demons and ordered them,
"Two of you, go engage the hero for some time"
"And the three of you go and capture some children and women "
The demons bowed and two of them flew towards Pete while the other three flew in the city,
Pete was standing up with the support of the sword,
"Damn.... I miscalculated the force of the axe "
The two demons landed in front of him,
