Swinging his spear he hacked and hacked, slaying multitudes of knights, taking down about 20 knights at once nonetheless, they kept on swarming up on him.
They were weak yet their numbers overwhelmed him greatly, he looked to the left and to the right, only to see no one else standing with him - for they had fallen.
...
ALLIANCE
•Rovan Whitewood( Title: , Rank: )
•Kiula Yew-wood (Title: , Rank: )
...
Reviewing his system alliance tab, the two allies of his had their names grayed out, all their titles and ranks had nothing there - proof of their demise.
Even though he could barely believe it, his battle tab confirmed that.
...
BATTLE
•ARMY(Clan)
•Dijo (Title: , Rank: )
•Gawu (Title: , Rank: )
•Das (Title: , Rank: )
•Yukan (Title: , Rank: )
•Huja (Title: , Rank: )
•Taui (Title: , Rank: )...
...
He scrolled down as much as he could yet, to his surprise there was no name on the large list which wasn't grayed out.
He had lost everything and everyone, from his loyal allies and silver generals to his weakest knight.
Loghark stood alone, but he was not dying yet till everyone on that battlefield had no life in them.
"Photonic Blast!"
A burst of energy exploded from his body destroying everything 30 yards around him.
...
(-200 photons)
•Photons: 1000/7808425
...
A system pop-up appeared.
Ignoring it, he stood upright and scanned the entire area - a valley full of enemies with him at the center.
He clutched his large black axe tightly, having a razor sharp edge, made entirely from the hardest wood - blackwood.
He held onto his people in his hands and as a Chief, his people were his strength.
The BLACKWOOD Clan was the strongest and it would forever be and he Loghark would prove that, even if he were to die with his people being found and wiped out. The name Blackwood, would be engraved on this soil and their plank skulls for eternity.
Charging forward, he swung his axe releasing a bolt of black energy from it which sent about 40 knights flying.
Taking a look at Loghark, his blue eyes had turned pitch black with a malevolent aura lingering around them and if one stared into them, they would be drawn into its inky blackness.
Engulfing him slowly as if it was eating him up was a certain black substance, it built up on him a type of covering which seemed to shield his dark skin.
Soon every part of his body was covered with the black substance, giving him the appearance of his own shadow wielding an ax.

He could feel the surge in power, he had never felt as powerful as he did now, but even though the cost was great, he never aimed to live after this anyway.
"Total Bind!"
"Windstorm!"
"Ice Rain!"
"Granular Impact!"
Loghark used his skills simultaneously, causing chaos and carnage all over, his enemies were either having their lives swept away by the winds, trying to outrun incoming projectiles of solid ice, being swallowed up by the earth or bounded by strong blackwood branches awaiting a piece of his axe.
The smell of death filled the air, darkening the clouds and soon the rains were unleashed to pacify the battlefield.
Bodies piled up all over, however Loghark was in no way satisfied with the large numbers he had just taken down.
Simultaneously using all elements to deal with ranged attackers while engaged in battle spoke of his unmatched skills and ability.
Using the back of the axe's handle, he bashed in the skull of a knight ending his life in an instant, grinding forward something caught his attention altering his attack path.
Drawing closer he had confirmed his thoughts as before him was an old friend, one he had considered as a brother back in U.O.T.
Yet now he was just a life which had to be wiped, the past was something to remember, but now his death would quench his thirst for revenge.
Eyrik Redwood a young tree with fiery eyes and a well trimmed black hair on his dark skin, kept on using skill after skill from his. He tried to negate those of Loghark, and could be seen at the center of a thick shield wall.
A few knights had died not by shedding blood, but rather by the destruction of their source of life -The Life Root.
Their death, was their transformation into a stiff, immobile tree full of branches and leaves- usually occurring to old aged trees. However, it could be seen all over the battlefield and even among the knights in the shield formation.
Loghark had killed Urk and Mapai on the battlefield, not with his own hands but rather his random skill attack had done the job.
Urk the Chief Of The Ashwood Clan, a distant relative of Loghark had joined in alliance not for any piece of land or a few Leafs, but because he wanted the Blackwood name out of the Darkwood Kingdom.
However, Mapai was Chief of the Malowood Clan, a clan which probably was from a Kingdom unheard of to Loghark.
In all, their death had not just caused their men on the battlefield to end up in such a sorry state, but every tree in their clan to face the same fate wherever they were.
Grinding his way towards the shield wall, the knights became much more difficult to deal with, as the time limit for his skill drew closer - so did his end.
Drawing closer, he leaped into the air with all his might giving the ranged knights a chance to attack as waves of powerful arrows came at him.
"Photonic Blast"
A burst of energy exploded from him snapping the closest incoming arrows 30 yards away,
giving him enough time to do what he planned.
Descending towards the shield wall, a dark energy formed before him and from the ground one would see a dark spear head descending.
"Elemental Spear"
Few meters above colorful bolts of energy merged with the dark spear before landing an earth shattering strike on the battlefield.
The impact and shockwaves from the strike not only destroyed the shield wall sending the knights flying and dead, but took away life from everything on the battlefield and beyond.
The forestland of immobile trees had become a wasteland, the trees uprooted and branches deprived of its beautiful leaves.
The city of Unwaver, now bloodied from the battle wasn't spared by the shockwaves either.
Its strong battered walls made of blackwood crumbled down into nothing, the heritage of the clan gone.
Beyond and far away from the battlefield, the impact was felt by a group of knights and warriors traveling south, the youngest among them being a nursing child.
The child was held closely by the leader of the group as she valued this child, more than the very life she had.
For the child was not only her life, but the lifeline of the entire Blackwood clan and it's remaining clansmen.
Even though the earth quaked wildly under their feet, it didn't cause them to blink nor stop in their tracks.
They had a goal ahead with something to protect and to do that, they had to get as far as possible.
