The battle wage on as the moon shines brightly piles of dead bodies are seen on every street and destroyed establishments, within six hours half of the city has fallen, this was not possible in any rational thinking seeing a city with 4 million people crumble so easily.
Ramiel was heading toward his target when Laerdya communicated with him telepathically and explained they were able to find a solution for the chemical that turns any living organizing to explode by carefully diluting it first in a liquid solvent, then slowly adding it dropwise in a diluted solution of sodium hydroxide but because this is also harmful to living organisms,
the second option was being exposed to sunlight, the chemical composition of the explosive potion was a perfect match to Nitroglycerin, and exposing it to sunlight rapidly inactivated it.
Ramiel thanked Laerdya for the information and decided to use the sunlight method as it was safer and more efficient, and continued on his mission with a sense of relief knowing that he had a solution to neutralize the explosive potion.
While surveying the current situation, Ramiel would encounter an enemy and even help those warriors that participated in the tournament as they fought and helped the civilians as they all gathered inside the coliseum. He saw a few responsible nobles taking part in alleviating the situation by providing treatment and giving out rations to those who survived and were affected
Ramiel quickly assessed the situation and realized that the enemy was not their only problem. The shortage of resources and medical aid for the survivors was also a major concern that needed to be addressed immediately.
Laerdya informs Ramiel that the nobles who were his guests at Arcane were aware of the situation in Avarel City. They asked if they could help out because they had some extra resources and medical aid that they could provide to the survivors, and Ramiel decided to reach out to them for help. With the enemy still a threat,
Ramiel knew that time was of the essence in getting aid to those who needed it most. Rmiel was hesitant concerning their request, but Laerdya relayed to Earl Reeve Gallien that they just couldn't stand watch while they were all having a wonderful time in his domain, and many were now suffering. Ramiel understood their feelings, but he wanted them to promise him they would never compromise their safety
Despite thousands of Symbiote serving him, a full-scale attack to defend 4 million residences is still a difficult task, so he needs everyone's assistance, with this he quickly coordinated with the noble and arranged for a safe passage for their aid to reach Avarel City, Ramiel also mobilized his troops to provide security and assistance in distributing resources and medical aid to the survivors,
Opening the transfer gate simultaneously in different locations might exhaust his energy, so Erbamel and Laerdya suggested using the transfer scroll that they created for this scenario, The transfer scroll would allow them to open the transfer gate without exhausting his energy. It was a wise decision to use the scroll,
as it would ensure their safety and success in opening the transfer gate simultaneously in different locations. The same also applies to the scroll; you can only open a location that the user has personally visited before and has a certain amount of information on the landscape and not accidentally open a transfer gate in the middle of a hazardous area or situation.
Furthermore, the scroll also provided a layer of security as it required a specific set of hand gestures and incantations to activate, preventing unauthorized individuals from accessing the transfer gate. This ensured that only those with the necessary knowledge and skill could use it.
while this was happening Ramiel was waling while hordes of monsters continued to ravage the city's residential streets, he was communicating while engaging a monster that he accidentally encounters on the street,
seeing all of the skirmishes that were happening all over the flat residential district of Avarel was like a scene from a movie it was chaotic and unbelievable to the point most of the people and survivors could not even explain themselves, different groups running around hunting and killing escaping, screaming, crying, defending were happening everywhere all at the same time,
until Beta was seen travelling with the young nobles that personally accepted Lā mǐ'ěr orders to destroy all the six summoning artefacts, as they ran across him Beta just wave at him and smiled confirming everything was going according to plan, and just not show his real feelings toward this mass genocide,
when Laerdya open a transfer gate and few people were with her as they emerge on the streets of Avarel that were still being cleared by Hell Guard commander Gamma, this specific area was the main street entering the commercial district where most retail shops and merchants transactions were being conducted,
the guild hunters and staff personnel who first reached this area were having a hard time clearing the stores because the owners refuse to leave their livelihood unattended and unprotected, especially when those thick-headed and narrow-minded shop owners saw an Army with a coat of Arms they doesn't recognize nor acknowledge to be true.
The Sound Crystal's functioning state allowed for the repeated announcements to be heard clearly throughout the city of Avarel, reassuring the people that they had powerful allies in the Black Battle Mage and his soldiers. This helped boost morale and provide a sense of security amidst the chaos of war.
However, some of the citizens of Avarel were skeptical about the Black Battle Mage's true intentions, as they had a reputation for being ruthless and power-hungry. Some even believed that they were using the situation to gain control over their city, but not all of them saw their action in a negative way because some relatives of the residents came from the village of Stratford,. These people, who assuredly were the Civilians who got caught in the middle of this terrible incident, believed that the Black Battle Mage was truly an honorable being.
They believed that the Black Battle Mage forces were trying to protect their city from an unknown danger and that his actions were necessary for the greater good. However, others were doubtful of his true intentions and feared for the safety of their loved ones. especially rumor's have spread that the Black Battle Mage has a hidden agenda and may not be as benevolent as they claim. Some citizens fear that their assistance may come at a steep cost.
Despite the hearsay, the Black Battle Mage troops have continued to provide aid to those in need and have not shown any signs of malevolence. However, some citizens remain cautious and are keeping a close eye on their actions. and just refuse to move or leave their property to be freely looted by anybody,
Leilatha Atinen with the rest of her team was fully armed and with them were Count and Countess Mirielis, Earl Reeve Gallien, and Viscountess Hilas Ugrihron wearing clothing created by the Dwarf Erbame to ensure to hide their faces and to create a political backlash for this unwanted assistance, Laerdya gave them a communication device that could receive voice transmission and could communicate to one another,
they were still baffled by the technology that Arcane was creating even Laerdya herself was amazed at the thing their king stored in his mind, he calls it blue tooth, but she still cants understand why its called that way the fact it was not even made of the tooth,
but because of the Sound Crystal, it was much easier to develop, and with this, they can easily gain vital information on the field in real time, Laerdya took the liberty to develop this when she finally gain her real form back with the help of the Symbiote to give the rest of his regular soldiers and executives direct communication link toward him,
This innovation proved to be a game-changer for their operations, as it allowed for quicker decision-making and more efficient coordination among the troops. With the Sound Crystal, Laerdya's army was able to achieve greater success in their battles and strategic maneuvers.
because only a few executives have a mental link to his majesty,
these were those people he personally selected and like the white Orc tribe that Finbor commands, the Dwarfen Forge masters Muldrulir clan, Hellmane clan, and some of Lady Laerdya Galadhiel trusted family members, These selected individuals were granted special privileges and access to the king's inner circle, allowing them to advise him on important matters. Their loyalty and trustworthiness were highly valued by the king and played a crucial role in his decision-making process.
Viscountess Hilas Ugrihron was still envious of her friend Laerdya, knowing she was close to her beloved Lā mǐ'ěr, Those few hours of conversation were only focused on the things Laerdya could share; further than that, she didn't see anything that might anger Ramiel, Despite her envy, Viscountess Hilas Ugrihron tried to hide her feelings and maintain a friendly demeanor towards Laerdya. She hoped that one day she too would have the chance to get closer to Lā mǐěr.
Viscountess Hilas Ugrihron knew that jealousy would only drive her further away from Lā mǐěr, so she focused on improving herself and finding ways to connect with him on her own. She believed that if she worked hard enough, she too could earn his trust and friendship."
As for now, they need to follow the plan, just act like they are part of the Arcane Kingdom, and just help in any way they can. Ramiel saw them at the cross-section of the main commercial street district as he waltzed toward them and just evaded his symbiote army from getting into their main task, which was to hunt and rescue.
While walking, Ramiel would cast a few spells as civilians ran away from the onslaught of his forces and the enemy to help out as he got closer to his new vanguard volunteers.
"Phantom Venom."
"Mystic Divine Healing."
" Controlled Arcane Barrier,
"Paralyzing Flame."
He greeted them warmly and expressed his gratitude for their willingness to assist in the rescue mission, was impressed by their composure and bravery in the face of danger, and he knew that they would be valuable assets to his cause, Ramiel welcomed them warmly and briefed them on their mission, and assigned them to different teams, reminding them that they must remain vigilant and cautious at all times
Viscountess Hilas Ugrihron was a bit hesitant to come near and talk to him but Laerdya already know that her young friend liked Ramiel and just came up to her and told her to go for it" because life is too short to hold back on love and that she should take a chance and talk to him.
"huh! Ah! Is it that obvious?"
"yes! Remember, among the three of us, you are the youngest, I have no intention of getting between the two of you, but remember you have a lot of competitors in line."
"So don't waste time; it might get snatched away from you!"
It's important to act fast and make your intentions clear if you really want to pursue a relationship with him."
" Don't wait too long, or someone else might come along and steal their heart."
"rather than regretting it later."
"Before it's too late."
Hilas Ugrihron walk up to him and greeted him, Lā mǐ'ěr excused himself and politely ask them to proceed with the plan, he looked at her and ask if there is something wrong,
" can I please see what you really look like?"
Ramiel Symbiote's mask suddenly moves as if they agree to her request and show his real face, she was speechless and could only say a few words
"you truly have a face of an angel,"
and she just gather all her courage and gave him a light kiss on the lips and just said
" thank you!"
and just turn around and ran along with the rest, when Laerdya tap him on the shoulder and smile at him and just said
"Your mother would be proud, seeing that his son also won against her greatest rival."
Ramiel was confused but was a bit happy, and went toward his targets
