Let's stop this thing! And Have a good read!

Lilith PoV
They disappear over the horizon. It's finally the time to finish my experiments with the last few parts I had get to understand about the female body.
I was working on it for about two weeks and I couldn't get any results! It's frustrating that I can't understand this... 'Should I ask them to catch a pregnant woman too? But it will be suspicious... Y'allaer would probably start to doubt why I would want one...' AH!
I thought of making some other studies on the subject and some other prototypes would help. "I need to use this time now to finally get to understand how this thing works... I got almost everything I wanted from the human before opening her and studying her dead body.”
Y'allaer PoV
We walk for six days and I order a stop. The place was so deserted... No one had found any signs of live during our journey.
"Whoever has a flying drone, send it out. I want to see what we can find out by looking at their city." I tell them and all assassins send out their flying drones from their storage pocket thing or something like that. They had taken out nearly 200 flying drones, with that we could get some good info.
“Make sure that the humans don’t find them. And if possible try to gather some information on how many mercs they have already gathered, and if see if it’s possible to find any kids with high mana capacity.” I look to them. “Now! Go! We will wait here for a day. We need more info about them before we raid this place!” How tiring. But I got some hints of how to handle it and it is a little less tiring… ‘But I want to stay with Lilith! And I need to hear what she wanted to say before...’
Without any need to give out the orders they prepare a camping site. We didn’t light any fire because we could make our presence known.
At dawn we continued on our way. They had gathered the info I needed, just few mercs had accepted… around 1000 in number, and the number of soldiers are over 7000… ‘We have to win against over 8000 men!’ I grinned at that thought! That army will be exterminated in no time by the efforts of my team. The first thing I’m going to do is to get the king’s head! Let’s see what they will do when they find out that their “commander” died!
“We’re going to enter the city from the main gate. Don’t break a sweat, I think they will send someone to talk to us… just… kill that guy.” I grin to them. Their face shows some smiles, we all are a bunch of bloodthirsty warriors. “Mages, you all start to chant wide area magic, but please… try to spare any kids younger than 3 years.” They nod.
“Everyone, make sure to show them how powerful we are!” I could feel it again! This excitement! This thrill! I want to create a hell on the earth! ”Hell’s Gate: OPEN!” It was nothing more than an expression but it had really flared all their spirits. ‘It was what they really needed.’ A mad grin appeared on their faces. Now we are prepared to win this battle.
“FORWARD!” We march with tidy steps. No one faster than the other, like a single entity now, the army were one body and the leader their heads.
We get to the human city after lunch, they had closed the gate when they had seen us getting closer.
“It looks like we’ll not need to wait… LEADERS! NOW WE START THE OPERATION! MAKE THEM FALL AND SHOW THEM HOW POWERFUL WE TRULY ARE!”
“YES SIR!” They all answered with a shout!
“May the God of Technology guide our way! Atem! This victory is for you!” I shout a message that Lilith had sent me two days ago.
With that the leader #1 punch the gate. It gave in without any resistance.
I soar after that. What I see is the human army already preparing to engage in combat, but some of them got washed away by a big wave. Number 7 and 2 worked together.
Continue with your work. Don’t stay together and make sure to close all the gates! I don’t want to see any human running away!
YES, SIR!
How powerful! Thankfully the human army appeared all together. I fly to the pig’s palace. It would look great… If I didn’t know that Lilith’s one was way better. I wanted to make a great show so… WHY NOT?
Cladding my hands, feet and wings in fire I descend on the palace entrance. I burned the stone in the ground. They were getting hot and black as I start to walk without minding the gazes I was drawing. ‘I wanted them to see it, why would I mind it?’
It was then some soldiers ran to stop me. With a cold glare I look to them. “So, what have we here? Some worms that thought they were big enough to win against my Queen?” I giggle to them. “Really? She is powerful enough to kill all of you alone, but no. She wanted to show you all what despair looks like!” They had circled around me… “Well, well, well.” I swing my wings sending fire towards their bodies. They all fall while screaming. Without even minding the dying I proceed onwards, stomping my foot on someone's stomach and it gives up… the blood and guts and fluids got burned faster than they could ooze out.
The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
“Ah, I forgot to ask where the king is.” I shake my head. I could hear the commoners screaming in fear. They started to shout and run in all directions wanting to get away from the beings that had killed their protectors.
“Well, let the game start!” I grinned, and with steady steps I enter the castle while burning the door and the floor.
Arnold PoV
I was here gathering some power in my city to stop that creature that I awakened. How could I leave such a monster alive? It had discovered more minerals in that ghost city than us in all the years we used to live there!
And when it wakened it tried to kill me! But I got scared and had forgotten that I could use my own military to kill that cursed being… But now I had used almost all the money in the country to raid that place. I hired some mercs from some nearby groups. And got back all the soldiers I had trained and left in the cities of my country!
It was a week before we walk to that cursed place that I receive intel about our men spotting some of those things walking this way. They were following a kid. But the strangest thing was the feeling they were releasing.
The guys that had seen it said that they looked like they had come directly from hell. I hurriedly order them to close the city gates. Just for it to be blown away!
“What the hell are those things?!” I listened to the reports and then it appeared. A shadow had fallen before my castle and dreadful screams started to rise after that.
One soldier appeared after that. And just made a quick bow. “Your Highness, we found a kid walking while emitting fire inside the castle. It’s better to run away now.” He was fearing that kid?
“Use your numbers to kill him! Don’t leave that thing alive!” I yell to him. ‘How is this possible? I had made sure that no one would be able to enter this place!’
“Yes!” He ran away after a short bow.
I gather my wife and my five kids. We run while I was hearing shouts and a mad laugh. I could feel it… My back was being covered in sweat. The thing was humming a song. I could hear it.
Entering the room with the secret passage, I saw it. A boy with an innocent smile, with blood all over his clothes and face. I didn’t know how he got here but I could see his face brightening up.
“YAY! I finally found you! I was looking for you.” A juvenile voice came out of his mouth. “Oh, and I see that you have your family with you! Very thoughtful of you, trying to run away while your men are fighting to the death and your citizens scream in fear! Your daughter looks cute, too, my Queen would probably like her as a pet. But it's strange, she has considerable mana capacity and yet you have let her live? Isn't that really selfish? It's a shame she's clearly older than 3 years old, else she'd be able to live among us as a person rather than a toy.”
I couldn’t open my mouth. My family had stopped and no one could move. I didn’t know what happened. How did he know my daughter has magic? Her results were faked and everyone involved was killed. No one should know I spared her from our laws against magic. It was then that my younger son started to cry. He had passed one year old half a month ago.
“OH! And I see that we will even have a member of royalty among the kids my Queen requested!” He said with a happy face. “Give him to me.” My wife walked to him, as if she was been controlled, and handed my crying son to the boy while shedding her tears of her own. “How wonderful! Look at how much mana this kid already has!”
With some slight movements he stopped crying and fell asleep in the boy’s arms. “A lovely kid he is.” How can someone so evil like him have such an innocent smile?! “Now, now, little baby. You’re going to have to wait a little while your awesome uncle slaughters the bad guys…”
It was then I felt the world press me down. I couldn’t move. It was like some force was pushing me down.
“Let’s see…” He started before stopping and he then made a strange face… “Really? Ah, come on Lilith!” He looked displeased. “Old man… You’re lucky… you will be able to see how this kid will become better than you.” He then goes and puts my son on the ground near me.
I could move my mouth and head… but everything else had been paralyzed. “What do you plan to do with my family?!” I shout to him.
“Me? I want to make a show!” A mad laugh escapes his lips. His hands change to claws, his face transforms into that like one of a lizard and is covered with scales. “Let’s play a little! It will be a show for everyone in my country!”
He goes to my youngest daughter and lifts her up using only one hand. “*Tsk* 4 years already… Well. Can you understand what I’m saying?” She nods her head. “Good! But sorry kid, you’re going to die today.” And then he stabs her eyes with two of his claws. She screams and slowly he continues to press his claws into her skull until she stops moving.
“She died so young… and it is all your fault. You’re the one who wanted to destroy my new family, my loved ones. So you need to pay, you now?” His face smiled, not a happy one, but a sadness that pierced my own heart.
‘How does he have such a smile?!’ I wanted to shout, but he had already tossed my daughter to my feet. Lila was dead… her face covered with her own blood.
“Who wants to be next?” He asked them. Rage and fear… I was feeling it when he started doing all he did. But now I couldn’t feel any rage against him or his army. I just felt fear… this young man has so much power that he could enter my castle while humming some strange music and then kill all my family! What had flourished at the bottom of my heart was DESPAIR!
“I know, how about you?” He then grabs…
