BZZZTTTT!!!!!!!!!!
I started rushing forward after cladding myself in lightning, and the red knight noticed that I was much faster than before. He jumped very high right before I reached him, and I turned my gaze up because he avoided me.
But the next thing I knew, the fireballs that he made were still there where he stood. Only a few meters away from me.
BAAARRRR!!!!!!!!!
BAAARRRR!!!!!!!!!
BAAARRRR!!!!!!!!!
All the fireballs exploded one by one, and I was able to jump away. I landed my feet on the castle walls vertically, and I kept on running up the walls. The red knight is now floating in the air, so it will be hard for me to approach him from the ground.
So, I'll just use the castle!
"Smart, but a bit risky!" The red knight conveyed while shooting fireballs at the walls, and I hastened my vertical movement.
BAAARRRR!!!!!
BAAARRRR!!!!!!!!!
More and more explosions occurred on the castle as I tried reaching the top, and I nearly got caught at one of the fireball explosions. And after running as fast as I could, I finally arrived at a very high point of the castle. Once I'm there, I jumped off, and I started aiming for the red knight flying in the air with flaming jets on his feet.
"This is your plan? Really?" The red knight started flying away while firing fireballs at me, and I realized that the fireballs were only going to hit me like this.
And now more than ever, I will have to activate it.
Now is the chance. Let's turn things around.
"You're up, Axel." I said while closing my eyes, and my mind went blank. By the time I opened my eyes, my eyes had turned dark. My pupils shined bright white, and I can feel my consciousness fading.
'Ahaha! Finally! After years!' A voice laughed happily inside my head, and my body began to change.
The white lightning that covered my body turned black, and my movement became much heavier. The black lightning lumped together in the air right below my foot, and I used that lump as a stepping stone to leap higher into the air. Because the black lightning is denser than normal, I can step on it and jump.
BAAR!!!!
BAARR!!!!!!
BAAARRR!!!!!!!
My footsteps exploded in the air as I leaped multiple times, and I made my way to the flying red knight in a mere few seconds. And seeing the white lightning turning black, the red knight can only look so confused.
"… What?"
ZRRIIIINNNNNGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I swung my sword as hard as I could at the red knight. And even though he lifted his red blade to defend himself, the power behind this swing is nothing compared to the previous swing I did.
Because black lightning is denser… My speed decreased, but the power behind each attack was multiplied.
With ease, I sliced through the red knight's sword, all the way to his body. His armor also got cut like paper, and he had no chance of defending at all.
"GHAHK---!!!!!!" The red knight coughed blood midair, and his pieces fell to the ground.
BRUKK!!!
As I landed, the two parts of the knight's body crashed to the ground. I took a deep breath to calm myself down, and my hair returned black again. The Limit Break has been turned off, and with the enemy dead, I can be at ease.
"Thanks for the assist. I can't beat that guy without you." I said to the air, not to anyone else, but to myself.
Or rather, the person inside of me.
'It's fine. Looking at his combat style, it's easily the same as facing wind origin, which is something lightning origins suck at.' The voice inside me said, and I nodded in agreement.
"Yep. Although… I do wonder where he got that unique combat style from." I said while turning around, but I noticed the red knight was already dead.
'That prince can't do something like that, can he?'
"Probably not. It's way too meticulous. This red knight must've had a special training to be able to use that." I spoke my theory, and Axel just laughed inside me.
'Then, I'll be disappearing again. Go back now before everyone thinks you're dead.' The voice inside me slowly disappeared, and I just turned around to find the vice general.
With the vice general's unconscious body on my back, I made my way through the castle's interior. I noticed that all the dark republic's soldiers have been defeated in the castle, and it has been fully taken over by the alliance.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Fort Kaos has been taken down." Miss Lenka said from the watch, and everyone cheered from the battle ending with a victory.
The three elite knights, 'Eight', 'Nine', and 'Ten', were all defeated by the academy students and the dark knight working together. And with the four of them working with their flawless teamwork, the three knights stood no chance, even if they were elites.
However, the news that the second division was completely annihilated was heard. Everyone mourned for their loss, but they also realized that the red knight who attacked them was not the same as the one that attacked the castle.
'Three', the red knight that wiped the second division, was eventually found with his body cut in half. When asked who defeated such a powerful opponent, the vice general only pointed at one person.
Me.
"Cheers to the victory!!" Princess Frisena shouted to the large hall inside the fort, and all soldiers here lifted their mugs up high.
"""CHEEERSS!!!!!!""" All members who survived the battle lifted their beers up, and hitting them to one another.
As the knights and soldiers laughed at each other celebrating the victory, one table in particular did not have a single cup of alcohol on them. Sitting on these tables are the children, students of the academy. Odd enough, the dark knight and the vice headmaster are on the table. And soon, Frisena will join after thanking everyone.
Six hours have passed since the battle ended, and apparently things were much better than we expected. We found a ton of beer on the castle, and… somehow, ninety percent of the dead second division came back to life?
For whatever reason, only a tenth of the second division ended up fighting and dying. The vice general was so confused because he thought the ninety percent of his men went to the first division as backup, but apparently it wasn't like that at all.
Someone… purposely spreads misinformation to the rest of the second division. As a result, that guy is being hanged upside down in the middle of the hall.
"Can I have a beer, please?" Hanging from the ceilings is everyone's beloved second prince, who totally Did Not get invited to the battle, and yet still appeared anyway.
And the worst part was, he was the one who purposely told the second division that the first division needed help, which resulted in ninety percent of the second division leaving to the south.
Of course this action caused the ten percent that was left behind to be killed, but I can tell the reason as to why he did it.
He saw the opponent was too strong. No matter how big of an army we brought to that side, everyone will die no matter what. The prince realized that the red knight was so powerful that he could wipe out all of the army, so he purposefully gave the wrong information to lure the rest of our soldiers away.
To save them. He did all of that by himself, without anyone knowing, under the chaotic atmosphere of the battlefield.
He is just…
"Lunatic." Miss Hilda said angrily while sipping on her cup of coffee, and everyone else seemed to agree.
At least thanks to him, ninety percent of the second division survived. As for the ten percent… well, they were already dead to begin with.
I turned my gaze to the man covered in bandages, being hanged from the ceilings, and receiving tons of beer being thrown to his face by the soldiers under him. He looks like he is opening his mouth to receive the beer, and I'm not sure if he is old enough to drink.
"He is… sixteen, right?" I mumbled, and everyone else followed my gaze. Seeing what was happening, the dark knight slammed the table and hurriedly ran to the chaos happening at the center of the room.
VWOOMMM!!!!!!
A dark flame was shot to the boy being hanged, cooking him from head to toe. Seeing the dark flame, all the soldiers throwing Nathan beers quickly turned to her.
"He is underage. Don't give him beers."
Meanwhile, the guy on top of them is still burning.
Because you know… alcohol is flammable.
