On the right, there was an hourglass figure with a mask on her face, her eyes were visible through the mask but it emitted a cold, chilling aura. When her eyes carried an aura, she has dead eyes looking at the army she was currently facing.
On her left was another female. She had a petite figure but her eyes were very assertive. She has fire eyes and for some reason, maybe for the same reason, as the figure on her right, she was angry. She carried a small cauldron-like thing hanging on her waist, someone might think that it was just an ornament or toy, which she carried because she wanted to be an alchemist, but those who know her, know that the cauldron is a bona fide cauldron which is used in alchemy. She usually changes the size of the cauldron so that it's easy to carry it around wherever she goes.
On the extreme left, there's a tall, muscular man with rough, tanned skin and a wild, unkempt mane of black hair. He wears a patchwork of leather armor and carries a wide array of weapons on his person, and same as the person with the cauldron, there was a small hammer on his waist.
Zorin had a pale face because he knows the three people who are standing above his army. They are the members of a new mercenary group that rose to power in recent days. The mercenary is called "The Summoned". No one knows why the name of the group is summoned, some speculate it's because it signifies that whenever hires them, they respond to the call extremely fast as if they were summoned by a summoner but not by a contract. The three members that are in front of him are the 10,000 Armanent General, Firestorm, and Aokigahara. No one knows their real name no one knows the real names of any member of the mercenary group and all of them have a nickname that almost every higher-up from any galaxy or organization knows, and a fun fact is the nicknames were given to them by the onlookers.
The man on the left got his nickname when he faced a 10,000-man army on his own by using various armaments which the onlookers think he made himself. Yes, it is suspected that his profession is a blacksmith, and despite that fact, he possesses that much power.
The same is said for the woman with a cauldron on her waist. She was doing one mission on her own when a rich, handsome second-generation person came to propose to her, to which she declined and then the rich second-generation person started pestering her. Little did he know that he was sending his entire family to doom. Irritated by his pestering he taught that person a harsh lesson and deformed his face temporarily. But the matter didn't end there and the family behind that person started to ask for compensation and demanded that she has to marry him because he disfigured his face. She ignored those remarks, noticing that nothing was working the family decided to interfere in her mission, and in doing so she failed in her mission. Later on the day she failed on her mission she went to the place the family resided and make a huge firestorm, one that destroyed the family and killed almost 90% of the family. And from that day on she earned herself the "Firestorm" nickname.
One might think that Firestorm was the most ruthless person but that's incorrect. The most deadly person among the three is one who has dead-pan eyes. The way she was looking at the army is as if she looking at a dead army. People speculate that she is an assassin, on one mission she killed the patriarch of a sect, and once the people of the sect found that out they chased after her to avenge the patriarch. They saw that she went inside a forest and planned to trap her in the forest with the elders and sect members. But they didn't trap her with them, they were trapped in the forest with her. After setting up the formation they entered the forest to search for her. The forest had dense foliage, and a chilling breeze was streaming through the barks of the tree. Many people including several elders had an ominous feeling, but they ignored that feeling because if he were to retreat now then in the future no new people would want to admit to that sect. But they should have retreated because after that incident that sect was destroyed because 90% of people died in the forest. No one knows how they died but they found all the deceased bodies inside the forest with a slit on their neck and no one showed any traces of struggle. From that day on, the surviving people of the sect gave the "Aokigahara" nickname to her.
Zorin composed himself and asked.
"What brings me to the presence of the three Lords?"
Firestorm spoke, "Do you want to kill yourselves or do we have to do it ourselves?"
"Can I ask how I offended the three Lords?"
"You should not have attacked this galaxy."
"I can play 10 times more than the money the people of this Galaxy are paying, please spare us."
"We are not doing this because of any contract, it's our Master's wish. Now either kill yourselves or DIE!"
"Can we not negotiate?"
"Aoki please handle the commanders and this filthy person who is speaking to me and General please handle the warships. I will handle the rest."
The 10,000 Armanent General spoke, "Sure, I wanted to try some new weapons".
Zorin realized that the talk has backfired and he roared, "Everyone! Prepare for war, and kill these 3 people!"
The moment he finished speaking he saw he was not looking at his army he was facing the warships. He was confused and from the corner of his eyes, he saw the back of a person with bone armor facing his army decapitated. He realized that he has been decapitated.
The army which was preparing to launch an all-out attack on the 3 infiltrators saw that the general was decapitated and they instantly lost all their morale. So they panicked and tried to run but they saw their doomsday ahead in front of them. They were surrounded by a wall of raging fire and in a short amount of time the entire army was reduced to a handful of ash floating in the void.
When all this was happening the General took 3 canons from god knows where and pointed them to the 3 warships in the distance and fired. The shoots were accurate and for a short moment the void was lightened as if there are three suns and then it returned to darkness but there was no sign of any warship.
Shortly after the general was decapitated, the commanders prepared themselves for an ambush but they saw no one. Vira was behind everyone and she saw everything. She saw some red fountains erupting from the places where the rest of the commanders stood.
She was frightened, she kneeled in the void and pleaded, "Please spare me! I was doing all these because I was ordered to, please spare me."
She heard a voice from behind her, "Please tell this story to the king of Hell. I was going to take a mission to erase this Legion of Void, so I did some research and I know what the truth and what are lies. You guys just hastened your doom by attacking the galaxy where our master resides. Good Night!".
Those were the last words Vira heard.
After they destroyed the army they regrouped a small distance from where the army stood and there waited another woman and beside her, there was a portal.
"Let's go, you guys took some time.", said the mysterious lady.
Firestorm while pointing towards Aokigahara said, "Someone got a bit talkative and wasted some time." Saying so she went in.
Aokigahara said nothing and went into the portal.
While walking inside the portal, General spoke, "I think it was fast."
"Anything.", said the mysterious lady.
The portal closed after the mysterious lady went in.
On the other side of the portal, there was a palace that stood grand and imposing, its walls and spires reaching toward the sky as if trying to touch the heavens themselves. Its grandeur was evident even in its state of disrepair, for though it had seen better days, there was an undeniable aura of majesty that lingered within its walls.
The passage of time was etched onto every surface of the palace, from the weathered stone walls to the cracked and crumbling pillars that supported its grand arches. The once-bright colors of the frescoes that adorned its halls had faded into muted tones, and the golden accents that had once glittered in the light were now dull and tarnished.
But despite the wear and tear of centuries, there was still a sense of awe-inspiring beauty in the palace. The intricate carvings and delicate details of its architecture were a testament to the skilled craftsmanship of those who had built it. The towering columns and soaring ceilings spoke of the power and wealth of the rulers who had once called it home.
As one walked through the halls of the palace, they could feel the weight of history pressing down upon them. The echoes of past footsteps and whispered conversations seemed to linger in the air, and the whispers of secrets and scandals seemed to echo through the corridors.
In the end, it was the palace itself that stood as a testament to the passage of time. Its grandeur and beauty had not been diminished by the centuries that had passed, but rather enhanced by them. It was a symbol of the enduring power of the past, a reminder of all that had come before and all that was yet to come.
Inside the palace, there was a man at the doorstep of the king's room admiring its beauty he noticed that the portal has closed. So he asked, "How was it? Anyone got hurt?".
Firestorm spoke, "Hah, what can they do to us?".
As if agreeing with her statement Aokigahara's eyes were flickering as she looked at the man who stood in front of her. General was nodding his head as well.
Looking at the three people, the man nodded and opened the gates of the King's room, and behind him stood around 30 more people who were emitting the same strong aura, if not more than, as the new 3 people.
The man walked to the throne and sat there and looked at the people who were now inside the King's room and kneeling.
The 30 people and the General, Aokigahara, and Firestorm said in unison, "Master!"
This is a scene from the future of the man who was sitting on the throne.
The Legend started from the time before he was born. And this is the story of his rising.
