Arc - Rise of the Dawn Arc
Chapter - Destruction of the Azure Village
'Things are worse than I thought on the west side of the village.' Vincent thought as he cutted down a six arm bloodied banshee with his black blade. These creepy looking ladies were crazingly strong and fast. Moreover, they were able to turn into a pool of blood, which makes them almost untouchable. Black moulds like tentacles came out from the ground and from Vincent as well. Many Blood Banshee were caught by it. Before they could turn into a lump of blood, they were consumed by the mould. Thus, finishing them on the spot. These black tentacles were like messenger of death for any undead creature. People consider it some kind of ancient and variant martial soul.
"Hurry up! What are you doing? Run towards the portals."
When more than half of the people had evacuated and the situation got better, as due to his involvement, many monsters were wiped out. Vincent gave a few orders and went out from the spot. The North side was attacked by giant undead insects. But due to the defences, most of them were killed in masses. Many forces of shinobies were deployed on the south and east side of the village. They were able to manage the situation. And just as Vincent ordered them, they left the underground passages open on purpose. When the intelligent undead creatures started to move through the underground path. The [First Formation Wall] was activated, and it had also greatly damaged the enemy forces.
The 'Dark Lord' had become very notorious in the world recently. He was crushing the people against him like insects. If someone didn't stop him, then a great war between the Spirit Pagoda, Tang Sect, and Shrek Academy against the Dark Lord would take place. They were able to retrieve some information about him and his undead army. Likewise, Dark Lord also didn't underestimate the Azure Village, which is a bad thing for them. That's why such a strong force of his undead army attacked from the west side. If he comes here alone, then they are able to lure him to the centre of the village and trap him from all sides. Thus, ending the battle before it was going to start. But the 'Dark Lord' had underestimated Vincent and his capabilities. At first, using his new ability was painful and hard. But he mastered it with time and experience.
This whole plan was made by Vincent and Greyson. They were going to use every tactic and strategy in order to remain dominated in the war. The main objective of the plan was to run. The village was already destroyed from the moment 'Dark Lord' came here. This isn't the main army of the 'Dark Lord'. The Azure Village was located somewhere inside the Azure Mist Forest. It is one of the most deadliest places on the planet, Valesthia. The stronger the individual, the tougher the forest becomes for him or her. The 'Dark Lord' can not bring his whole army, especially the powerful one on his will. It will give them enough time to escape successfully. The next phase of their plan was to spread across the world silently. They will going to unite after a certain passage of time.
The three-fourth population has already passed through the portals, leaving only the shinobies behind who are still fighting with their will and martial soul. They are also entering inside the portals in groups. The only problem left was the 'Dark Lord'. If Greyson Salen, the [Ghost Monarch Douluo], was able to defeat the [Dark Lord Douluo] on time. Then, both of them were able to escape on time. Otherwise ...
Also, there is a very high chance that the members of the [Dark Redemption] organisation came here to help the Dark Lord. They also can not be underestimated. So, the time for them is low, but the enemy is strong. Vincent gave the final order to his comrades,
"I order you all to leave the village right now. You already know what to do. Follow the plan as well as the shinobi code."
Many shinobies hesitated to leave their commander as well as chief alone in the war. But when they heard about the shinobi code then they understood that there is no room left for negotiation. They followed the orders as they were said and started to leave the village through the portals.
"BANG!!! BANG!!! BOOM!!! ... BANG!!!"
The village that was thriving with life an hour ago was now littered with dead corpses, blood, and destruction. Vincent wasn't going to leave his father alone, even if it meant to break the shinobi code. He knew that he cannot able to do much in the fight between Titans. But a moment of distraction is enough for his father to deliver some fatal blows to that vile monster. When all the people left through the portals. The portals are destroyed automatically into dust. There is still a hidden portal through which Vincent and Greyson can escape.
The fight between Greyson Salen and the 'Dark Lord' was like a blur. They were moving too fast for a naked eye to observe. The black Kunies of Greyson were glowing with white light and and the 'Dark Lord' was using black spiky mould gauntlets in the fight. Yes, the 'Dark Lord' also had the [Shadow Mould Physique]. Both of them were skilled, and none of them were able to hurt the other at this point. Just as Greyson was about to hit him with horizontal slashes, the other defended himself using his gauntlet. The 'Dark Lord' tried to perform the counter attack, but it failed as Greyson turned into a blue mist and appeared away from him.
"Let's end this here and right now, Greyson Salen!"
The eyes of the 'Dark Lord' were violent in colour, and then his iris turned red and split into two tomoes. Greyson gritted his teeth and said impatiently, "Valour! You have gone too far!"
