The rain continued to pour down on the forest, creating a gloomy atmosphere. Moirai tried to put back on his previously damaged armour, although the pain from his injuries made every movement difficult and painful. Even so, he kept trying to stand up, while continuing to endure the piercing pain. because the movements made by him also made the sleeping Flaming bird awaken by Moirai's movements.
With lot effort, Moirai finally managed to stand up. Although he was very weak, he went to walk back to the village. However, the Flaming bird that saw his situation immediately created a small wall of fire that blocked Moirai's way.
''flammiel... please... please get rid of it," Moirai asked hoarsely, looking at the flammiel with an exhausted gaze.
The flaming bird chirped softly, as if trying to communicate something. Moirai, who was beginning to understand what it meant, realised that Flammiel did not want him to continue pushing herself in such a weakened state.
" sighhh... flammiel... can you tell me how long I've been asleep?'"
Moirai said in a firm tone, though her body was trembling.
'"You think I don't know?... I've wasted a lot of time here... I need to get to the capital as soon as possible... so please my little friend... get rid of this fire, now"
the flamming bird finally dissipated the wall of fire and began to dissipate itself. the flammiel fire light that shone before then disappeared. leaving moirai in the darkness of the storm.
moirai continued his journey in the rain. step by step he went through. the forest that previously looked calm now looked gloomier and darker. in addition, he found various corpses on the road. moirai continued his journey while enduring the pain he suffered.
not long after, moirai found a knight's corpse that was cut into several pieces. his armour and body were shapeless, but the sword he was using still looked decent. he turned the sword he was holding into a necklace and put the necklace on his neck. he then began to pick up the sword and cloak that were lying on the ground.
"This should be enough..." moirai said as he put on his cloak.
The lightning that was striking signalled that it wouldn't stop anytime soon. the wind was getting stronger and the rain was getting heavier, making the situation a little dangerous.
moirai continued his steps towards the village he previously visited. the sound of footsteps among the mud plus the sound of thunder that was increasingly heard accompanied moirai on his journey.
The longer moirai walked, the more battle trails were left. the closer he got to the village, the more corpses were lying on the road. what happened on the road could not be compared to what happened in the village. when moirai was at the village gate, corpses were lying around. human body parts were separated into several parts. the smell of blood and corpses was so strong that crows appeared in various places despite the bad weather.
'"What a cruel fate..."moirai said as he passed by the pile of corpses.
Suddenly, the sound of someone groaning in pain appeared. moirai looked towards the source of the sound and tried to get closer. step by step, the groaning sound turned into a cry for help.
'"Please.... .... help me...'"
'"This hurts!"
As moirai approached the source of the voice he saw a human without legs crawling towards moirai. having a corpse-like smell and pale skin made the human look like a corpse.
Without further ado, moirai immediately stabbed the human. the sound of the sword piercing the flesh and the droplets of blood that came out made the crows that were around immediately fly over.
Suddenly the corpses that were lying down woke up and began to surround the moirai. the corpses of soldiers, ordinary citizens, and even demons got up and began to approach him.
"This is why priests are needed in war" as he pulled his sword from the corpse.
"O lost soul, the wheel of your destiny has come to an end and the promised day has come, end your wandering and return to the arms of the goddess..."
"so that the destiny promised by the goddess... can be carried out'"
moirai walked towards the undead, preparing to swing his sword. the undead immediately ran around moirai. as the undead approached moirai quickly slashed the corpse in half. the sound of flesh being torn apart and also the undead's echoing made several undead start walking towards the source of the sound.
Swing after swing, the foul blood began to reminisce where moirai stood. one after another the undead approached, he quickly swung his sword continuously. one by one the undead fell. With precision, Moirai finished off the undead with a single swing of his sword.
among dozens of corpses, one of the undead from the demonic army began to approach moirai. with his armour attached he charged at moirai who was busy dealing with other undead. quickly moirai swung his sword at the demonic undead. the sound of the sword hitting the armour echoed in the rain. the attack did not have enough effect to kill the undead. so the armour was only dented and made the undead fall to the ground.
Without wasting time, Moirai took the opportunity to stab the undead right between the slits of the helmet he was wearing.
The other armoured undead had begun to approach. he looked around and realised that he was surrounded by undead.
"What a cruel world," moirai said as he pulled his sword out.
"if everyone didn't hate each other from the start... maybe it wouldn't be like this,"
With a determined look in his eyes, moirai chose to strike first. quickly moirai aimed his sword straight at the neck of one of the undead. his sword easily pierced the neck and made the undead die instantly.
While moirai was stabbing one of the undead, another undead started attacking moirai. with a mouth full of blood he tried to bite her. quickly moirai immediately pulled his sword and started slashing his head.
"I hope this ends your suffering,'" moirai said as he swung his sword to clean the blood off.
the undead began to walk closer and closer, the mass of undead that had been piled up was only a small part of those in the surrounding area. at the same time moirai also took a combat position while preparing to strike at the approaching undead.
The crows are gathering on the ruins. The rain is getting heavier and lightning is striking. The undead are beginning to emerge from all over the village towards the source of the sound of battle.
with a sure step moirai ran towards the undead. with one hand he swung his sword vertically splitting one of the undead in half. organs were scattered and blood oozed out of his body. quickly moirai got into position and stabbed the undead that tried to attack him from behind. the sword stab pierced the rotten body but the undead was still able to move. instantly moirai drew his sword and slashed the head and made it fall.
The rest of the undead did not stop. step by step without fear, without a soul. the walking corpses continued to approach without a care of anything.
Moirai who saw that chose to fight back without any fear. with a cold face he swung his sword as if he was dancing in the rain. every step, every movement was so effective and precise. every swing of his sword was so perfect that his attack made the undead die with a single strike.
swing after swing and the blood that continued to flow, the long battle finally ended. the undead no longer appeared. tens to hundreds of undead were piled up in various places. the blood that remembered and the singing of the crows that feasted on him among the pile of corpses made the atmosphere of the village already like another world.
"That should be enough...," moirai said as he threw away the broken and dull sword.
As Moirai looked around, there were only piles of corpses, blood, and ruined houses from the battles that took place.
"Everything starts from nothing and returns to nothing..." Moirai murmured, her voice soft.
"Thank you for living the destiny you were given, thank you for living in the world."
"oh poor soul...,"
"In the name of the goddess acashic the manifestation of destiny, I offer my prayers and wishes to you for a blessing that will help you on the promised day,"
'"Krygst ashlyn dreau...,"
