The sky was filled with mana arrows raining down on the human soldiers,
The soldiers put up their shields and the knights attacked with aura swords against the mana arrows,
The mana arrows and the aura swords clashed but the sheer number of mana swords overpowered the aura sword,
The mana arrows then rained upon the soldiers killing hundreds of them,
The elves then launched fireballs towards the humans,
The knights again defended with aura swords but the number of aura swords was lower because of the exhaustion,
Human mages were also exhausted so they can't do anything now,
The rain of fireballs fell upon the human soldiers, burning them alive,
The dwarven king ordered his soldiers,
"Fire the cannons "
Magic stones fueled the cannons and the dwarves shot cannonballs,
Even the aura swords of the knights weren't able to stop the cannonballs,
The cannon balls even exploded after hitting the ground,
With the cannonballs, the elves also shot fireballs and mana arrows,
The human soldiers all started running away,
The king said,
"We have magic cannons too, attack with them"
Humans have only about a hundred magic cannons, and they looked quite old toobut the y loaded the cannons and shot them,
But to their surprise the cannonballs didn't even get past the mana barrier of the elves,
More then half of the human soldiers were killed in just couple of minutes,
And a quarter of them ran away, even the adventurers and mercenaries ran away,
The mages were exhausted so they also ran away,
A general said to the king,
"Your majesty, if only you didn't exhaust the mages before the battle even started "
The king has a bright smile on his face and said,
"It's all for master "
The general asked confused,
"What master are you talking about, your majesty? "
The king said,
"You will know only if you can survive this war. "
The king then infused aura in his voice and ordered his soldiers,
"Cover your nose and mouth with cloth and charge towards the enemies "
The king then gave some of the soldiers the tiny dark poison bottles and said,
"Throw these bottles at the enemies "
The human soldiers all looked at each other with fear in their eyes unwilling to charge at the enemies,
The king saw this and said,
"Your families will be their next targets"
"They will kill your parents and children, force you wife and daughters, so choose wisely "
The kings words ignited a spark in their hearts,
Some of the soldiers shouted and their shout acted as a trigger for the soldiers,
They all covered their nose and mouths and started running towards the elven and dwarven army,
The elven and dwarven kings were confused but then the elven king sighed and said,
"They are choosing death instead of life "
The elven king then ordered his subordinates,
"They are attacking, this means that the poison has lost its effects. "
"Put down the barrier, charge at the enemies and crush them "
The elves puts down their barrier and more then half of the dwarven and elven soldiers ran towards the human soldiers,
The barrier then again put up for the remaining soldiers,
The human soldiers ran through the dark poison,
Their nose and mouths were covered so the poison didn't affect them instantly but was entering through their skin and even sticks on their armor,
The poison entering through the skin was slow, but it gave the soldiers enough time to clash with dwarves and elves head-on,
Both sides clashed and the humans were getting massacred because of the difference in physical abilities of different species,
The dwarves were strong and the elves were fast and agile,
This put a smile on the faces of dwarven and elven kings,
But their smiles soon vanished as the dark poison started taking effect on the soldiers,
The human soldiers that died spread the poison on the elves and dwarves,
The human soldiers have even thrown the poison bottles in the back of their army,
The humans, elves and dwarves began to die rapidly,
The elven and dwarven soldiers tired to get back into the mana barrier but the elven king didn't allowed it,
The dwarven king said,
"Was this your plan all along... do you want my soldiers to die here?"
The elven king said,
"My soldiers are dying too. "
The elven king clapped after that and around thirty elves, some wielding swords and some were wielding magic wand jumped on the deck and stood behind the elven king,
"These humans are too cunning, they are using poison that I have never seen before "
"Half of my army was killed by the poison and a quarter of them are still getting killed by the poison "
The dwarven king looked at the elven soldiers on the ship so he also said,
"Come now "
Around thirty dwarfs carrying large hammers jumped on the ship and stood behind the dwarven king,
The elven king saw this and said,
"Don't worry, these are not to attack you, I called these to destroy those human cities and eradicate their species "
The dwarven king said,
"Let's eradicate these humans together then "
The human king was still smiling after his whole army was killed,
The general said,
"We should surrender your majesty "
The king said,
"Only a handful of us are left on the battlefield, do you think they would let us surrender "
The general said,
"It wouldn't have happened if you hadn't stopped the nobles to come in the battlefield "
The king said,
"What difference would they make if they came... they would have competed against each other and would be defeated without doing much damage to the enemies "
The king then pointed towards the elven and dwarven army,
"Look, more than half of their army has been defeated "
The general bowed and said,
"I am sorry, your majesty "
The king smiled and said,
"If only master was here "
This confused the general again,
The elven and dwarven kings both shook hands,
The elven king said,
"Half of the human kingdom is yours and half would be mine "
They then turned towards the elves and dwarves that had jumped on the ship,
The dwarven king said to the dwarves,
"All of you are hammer masters, ten of you stay here with me and others go to east and destroy those human cities but first capture that king "
The elven king also ordered his soldiers,
"Five sages and fives sword masters will stay here and others go to west and kill every human but first go with dwarves and capture that king "
The dwarves and elves bowed and jumped down from the ship,
Pete, Leona and the butler reached the battlefield riding horses at that moment,
They saw the thousands of human soldiers corpses,
Anger took over Pete, he then saw Amira holding Luna with the king,
The butler said,
"Thank god we bought horses from that village otherwise we would have been too late "
Pete got down from his horse and ran towards Amira,
Before Amira could do anything, Pete took Luna from her with lightning speed,
He then gave Luna to Leona and said,
"Take her to a safe place until I return "
The elven and dwarven masters has now stopped because of the dark poison in their way,
Pete looked at them and unsheathed the dark holy sword,
The dark poison in the battlefield flew toward the dark holy sword and was absorbed by the dark energy in it,
The power of the dark energy rose with the thousands of souls brought back by the dark poison,
And with that the dark poison in the battlefield was all gone,
The elves and the dwarves also noticed that the poison has gone,
The elves unsheathed their swords while the dwarves lifted up their hammers,
They all manifest master aura weapons,
Pete anger subsided as he got overwhelmed after seeing about 16 master aura hammers and 17 master aura swords,
Amira said,
"Run away Pete, you cannot win against those "
Pete turned towards Amira and said,
"Why do you suddenly care about me "
Amira said,
"I don't care about you... I only care about the body my master lives in "
Pete smiled and turned towards the dwarves and elves,
He then channeled his aura into the dark holy sword and manifested master dark energy sword,
But to his surprise, two dark master swords were manifested,
Everyone in the battlefield was surprised by this,
The elven king said,
"A half sword grandmaster... but why is his aura black "
The dwarf king said,
"It's the same as that monster "
The elven king's eyes widened as fear took over his face,
His hand began shaking as he said,
"Is that monster siding with the humans "
The dwarf king took out a telescope and saw Pete and said,
"No it's not that monster... but I think his power is related to that monster "
Pete was also surprised by two dark master swords,
"How come there are two? "
The power of the dark energy rose to a whole different level due to the thousands of the souls,
The elven king said,
"We have to capture him alive to question him. "
The dwarven king nodded and ordered his soldiers,
"Do not kill him, capture him alive "
The dwarven hammer masters then bowed and the elven king ordered his soldiers the same,
Two hammer masters then shot the master aura hammer towards Pete,
Pete saw the hammers coming towards him and shot the dark master swords at the hammers,
The dark master swords and the master aura hammers clashed with each other,
The dark energy quickly started consuming the aura hammer and within few seconds completely absorbed the hammers,
The elves and dwarves were surprised after seeing the master aura hammer just disappear,
One of the dwarves said,
"How is this possible.... "
Pete then shot the dark master swords towards the elves,
Four elves shot their master aura swords at the dark energy swords but this time they were consumed even faster,
And now the dark master swords are heading towards them,
The elven sages quickly put up a barrier around them,
The dark master swords then clashed with the barrier,
The dark energy entered the barrier and started consuming the mana,
The elven sages used more of their mana to fix the barrier but the dark energy was consuming the mana the same rate as the elven sages were pouring it,
One of the elven sword master said,
"So this is the power of a half grandmaster... If only his majesty hasn't order us to capture him alive, we would have attacked at the same time "
The sages were rapidly running out of mana,
One of the sages said,
"How is this possible... we have poured more than half of our mana into the barrier, but the mana is just disappearing? "
"It feels like we are filling an ocean with our mana "
