Chapter 23: The Beginning of The End!!!
The god of the air nation moved in front of the crowd of air nation soldiers.
The wind element danced in his presence.
The soldiers were all floating easily as if they were one with the wind, moving at an insane speed towards their destination.
Lord Paige Kalliester floated slightly behind the god but in front of the soldiers.
The other generals were stationed at either side of the battalion, floating with an intense gaze on the back of Paige Kalliester.
Within 3 days, the team arrived in front of the water nation, everywhere was eerily silent with no one in sight.
The god stood behind this time, allowing the soldiers to surge forth.
The soldiers got close to the sea cautiously, checking all the angles, but as soon as they stepped on the water surface, it grabbed their legs.
As this continued, it had swallowed the first 10 air soldiers whole, leaving no trace of their existence.
A while later, 10 dead bodies floated out of the
body of water.
"Fall back"
Lord Paige Kalliester shouted, lifting his rod,
"Get in formation,'
He said again,
The soldiers understood what he meant, after fighting together for so long, they could almost always understand his every command.
The first unit of 100 soldiers arranged themselves in an arrow-like formation, every single person had the same stance, and they moved their hands in such a manner that it was like they were being remote-controlled.
"Wind slash'
Lord Paige Yelled,
They moved their hands and created a huge wind whip that seemed to gain tangibility out of thin air.
It moved with such speed, following the movement of the hand of the soldiers, and slashed against the sea, spreading its attack across the surface, but there was no reaction.
Even Lord Paige was surprised this time.
As the attack continued with no reaction, the soldiers got complacent.
But all of a sudden, water arrows flew out from the sides, impaling more soldiers on the spot.
By the time they knew what was going on the first 100 units of the air soldiers were entirely killed.
Lord Paige was the only survivor,
"My luck this time...."
He muttered to himself as the next 100 units joined,
"Wind formation, Tornado strike"
Lord Paige yelled.
The soldiers got into formation.
Lord Paige muttered to himself
"l will show you what makes me different from last time.'
He said looking at the calm sea ahead.
The soldiers do not understand the 'Tornado strike formation' since they had never used it, but they simply followed Lord Paige Kalliester's movements.
He got into a meditative state calling on the power of the scroll that he had just obtained, in order to utilize the unlimited wind technique.
Then he lifted both hands and swung them around, causing the wind to pick up and start to gain momentum.
The earth shook vigorously and there was a terrifying wind blow.
It blasted everything in its path as it moved towards the sea.
The momentum was so huge that as it got to the sea, the sea itself entered a state of distress.
It swirled vigorously to the actions of the wind,
Almost immediately after, about 50 dead water nation soldiers floated out on the surface of the sea.
At that time, Kendra had arrived with anger etched on her face.
She had told Lancelot to only make an appearance when the situation was beyond redemption so he hadn't shown himself yet since they were still in control and had much fewer losses compared to the air nation.
"Leave Paige Kalliester to me"
She said before appearing from within the sea.
on see her, Paige was stunned for a few minutes,
"So you're alive, Kendra I have nothing against..."
Before Lord Paige could complete his sentence water cones shot out and impaled him, his face changed as he grimaced from the pain, his orifices started to drip blood, and he couldn't mount any form of attack before a final blow landed on his forehead and he died on the spot.
'Lord Paige Kalliester is dead"
The soldiers of the water nation cheered from behind Kendra as they appeared one by one, during the confrontation between Lord Paige and Kendra.
The two Generals had prevented the soldiers from joining the attack, hence there was no one to provide a backup for him as he was killed miserably.
The god of the air nation noticed this and moved, melting into the wind and arriving in front of Kendra, he turned back to the two generals and spoke;
"I'll deal with you both later"
Then he faced Kendra, and cracked a smile,
"You've finally got your revenge"
He walked a few steps and was standing just before Kendra,
"But you're not my match, in any case, I'm not here for you, call out the main man and I can take my leave after killing him."
Kendra cracked a smile and unleashed water icicles without hesitation.
They flew and passed through the air nation god as if he was the wind but they injured some of the air nation soldiers, behind him.
The air nation god moved his hand in anger and smacked her with the wind.
She flew and landed like a pile of wood, she got up again but didn't stop her intention and act of assault, she immediately started to freeze the sea,
"You might be a god but I will show you the power of the seas"
Kendra muttered.
Kendra looked to the seas and close her eyes,
"Power of the seas, aid me, god of the water nation, lend me your strength",
She became one with the sea as her essence spread in every direction.
Behind her, Xanthu rushed to Lancelot's side,
he had run out of options and the only thing he could do now was to turn to the rival he hated;
"Please don't let her go through with this, she may not necessarily gain the upper hand against the god of the air nation, but she will surely die after that level of energy consumption, it's sacrificing soul for power"
Lancelot was stunned upon hearing this, he didn't hesitate but rushed to the side of Kendra, appearing as if he came from nowhere.
An illusory element wall was formed by
Lancelot, it obscured his presence and that of other sea soldiers, as it stood behind Kendra so that no air nation soldiers or anyone could see that there were people behind Kendra.
That was why even though the air nation soldiers were standing before Kendra, they still couldn't see Lancelot, but as he stepped out of the illusory wall, he became visible. "Finally, some actual challenger,"
The god said with a smile.
Lancelot held Kendra on her shoulders, then he spoke, to stop her;
"Please don't"
Kendra froze unable to do anything else.
He then looked into her eyes,
"trust me",
He said as he caressed her chin.
"You better not die,"
she said through gritted teeth.
'l wont'
he replied with a smile.
