Outside the walls of the Capital city.
“My king, the army has destroyed three towns and are vigorously approaching the populated areas.”
A soldier reported to Miko who was laying on a lawn chair outside of the walls.
“I see. Call for the squadron leaders.”
Miko took off his sunglasses and replied.
“As you wish, my king.”
The soldier saluted and quickly went to carry out his duty.
Miko remained on the lawn chair as if he didn’t have a care in the world.
“Miko.”
That’s when someone called out to him. He looked around and saw that it was Momo who had arrived with everyone else that was a part of his team. All except for Raven, Ravel, and Edward.
Just to note, Miko later gave his mother and sister personal weapons and items from inside the treasure vault, that he had picked for them.
“Yo, right on time.”
Miko waved at them as they approached.
“We heard that we’re being invaded.”
Said Rin.
“What’s their numbers?”
Krul asked.
“Around 200,000 or so. No big deal.”
Miko replied.
“No big deal? That’s a lot of people.”
Said Ren.
“Really? When I fought in my first war that wasn’t even quarter the amount of enemies we had to face.”
“Please, don’t remind me. I’m getting flashbacks. Ugh! I just remembered getting stomped in the ground by Kilo.”
Said Momo, as she grimaced.
“You guys must have been through a lot?”
Said Sylvia.
“You have no idea.”
Miko stood up.
“Unfortunately, I don’t think this war will compare to that one. But if it does that would be a fun surprise.”
He laughed and said.
“Oh, the squadron leaders are here.”
Miko looked behind the others and saw a group of people swiftly approaching him.
“Your highness!”
The soldiers all stopped in front of Miko and saluted him.
“Be at ease.”
Miko responded with a smile.
The soldiers all stood with their hands at their sides, awaiting Miko’s next words.
“I will now give you all your orders.”
Miko said.
“You all will accompany us to battle, however you will only attack on my signal.”
Miko then showed a serious expression.
“When I give the signal, you are to attack the enemy and destroy them completely. Show no mercy, no matter the situation. Got it?”
“Yes!”
Miko nodded in approval.
“I see. Then go and relay my orders to the rest of your party.”
“Roger!”
After saluting again, the soldiers quickly left to pass on Miko’s orders and prepare to depart for battle.
“So, what are we going to do?”
Ace asked.
Miko turned around and faced them.
“It’s been a month since I’ve granted you all imperial gifts.”
There was a beastly look in his eyes as he spoke.
“I believe it’s time for you all to try them out.”
If you encounter this story on Amazon, note that it's taken without permission from the author. Report it.
He then looked towards the direction the army was marching from.
“And we coincidentally have the perfect test dummies marching towards us.”
Couple dozen miles away.
The Aloe Kingdom’s army was steadily marching towards the capital, with its commanding general Rico in the center.
“General, Generals Timon and Rashad have just destroyed their fifth town.”
A soldier reported.
“Hahahahaha! We’re this deep in and that brat still haven’t confronted us? He must be shitting his pants!”
Rico arrogantly laughed.
“Sir, General Timon and Rashad are reporting that they have yet to meet any civilians, and are requesting we march with caution.”
The soldier went on to say.
“No need. That brat must’ve moved the civilians to the capital when he heard our war drums in the distance. If we continue to March, we’ll surely encounter some civilians around the areas surrounding the capital. When that happens order them to kill the weak ones and capture the strong ones. They can be sold as slaves in the slave markets. Oh, be sure to save some beauties for me.”
He replied.
The soldier looked at him weirdly before replying.
“Yes sir!”
But on the inside he was thinking that Rico wasn’t worthy to be the commander of the army. If it wasn’t because Rico’s father was the highest ranking general in the kingdom, he surely wouldn’t even been in the army because of his recklessness and crude actions.
Rico had a happy expression on his face as he rode his mount, looking towards the capital.
“After this victory, I’ll gain a promotion. When that happens I can leave the military and live in wealth.”
He started laughing again.
“Hmm. So that’s the commander of the army?”
Miko and the others were a couple miles away, observing the army and their actions using enchanted items.
“Looks like a rich heir who reached his current position because of his daddy and mommy.”
Said Al-Shura.
“You’re right. He looks like he spent his entire life playing with women and stuffing his face. I’m so envious!”
Shouted Sora.
“So what are we to do now Miko?”
Gizmo looked at Miko and asked.
“Just leave them all to me! I’ll roast that pig real good.”
Kouta said while cracking his knuckles excitingly.
“……….”
“Mikky?”
Seeing Miko remaining silent Hina called out to him.
“This…..This is gonna be fun.”
Miko suddenly said with his eyes bloodshot.
“Miko?”
This time it was Luka who called out to him.
“Sigh…..Its happening again.”
Momo suddenly said.
“You see, 4 years before Krow’s war Miko had entered a trance state.”
She explained.
“It apparently happens before a big massacre is about to takes place. He can’t be cured until he begins his rampage.”
While Momo said that Miko had slowly drew his two swords from their sheath. His swords were emitting a murderous glow, especially Ishma.
Deep inside his soul, Augustus was watching everything with a smile.
“This bring back memories of my first massacre.”
He silently whispered.
Miko slowly started walking in the direction of the army.
“I’ll relay my orders now.”
He spoke without looking back.
“Kill.”
That was all he said before releasing his wings and flew off in the air.
Everyone looked as he disappeared in the distance, stumped.
“Kill, huh?”
That’s when Kouta suddenly spoke with a devious smile.
“Hey, Christian.”
“What?”
Christian who was fully awake for the first time in a while, responded beside him.
“It’s alright for us to let loose right?”
“I see no problem.”
When he heard that Kouta’s smile grew even more savage.
“Then I won’t hold back!”
*Boom!*
An explosive electric aura suddenly engulfed Kouta. His blond hair swayed with the electric sparks, and as the aura molded two lightning wings on his back.
“I’ll be going ahead!”
*Boom!*
Kouta then turned into a golden lightning bolt and shot across the sky.
“Sigh. What a troublesome brother.”
After he said that, Christian immediately followed after Kouta.
Following that, everyone started to scatter and flew in separate directions.
Miko was the first to reach the army.
He floated above it and looksd at it with bloodshot eyes. And then-
“Primordial Chaos Lord!”
He activated his God form.
“Let’s see….who should I pick?”
He racked his brain, and then his golden eyes sparkled as if he made his decision.
“Come forth, Lahmu!”
The moment he said that a celestial light flashed beside Miko, and a handsome red hair bearded man appeared. He was the god of the celestials, Star God Lahmu.
“You called?”
Lahmu asked with a smile.
“I’m borrowing your power.”
“As you wish.”
Lahmu said with a bow.
“Primordial Fusion!”
The moment Miko said that, Lahmu felt his power cut in half and his Higher Being status stripped from him.
He then turned into light and entered Miko’s body. The moment he did, Miko’s Class disappeared and his power felt an extreme increase.
“Heh.”
He floated in the sky with a celestial aura surrounding him like he was a star in the day sky.
“Now then, let’s kick this off with a bang!”
He lifted his hand into the air and a bright star appeared in his palm.
“What the?!”
The star was so bright that it drew the attention of over half of the army, that was as vast as the sea.
Miko grinned and threw the star down.
“Star Fall!”
*BOOOOOM!*
The star hit the earth and caused a massive explosion that stretched for several miles.
When it faded there were countless soldiers on their butts quivering in fear. The explosion didn’t hit any of them and stopped just outside of their strike zone. This caused a lot of them to be scared shitless and wet their pants.
While they were ashen, Miko slowly descended with the starry aura surrounding him.
“Good morning, gentlemen of the Aloe Kingdom.”
He greeted the shivering soldiers.
“My name is Gamiko Dragna the third aka Miko. As I sure you all know, I’m the king of this fine country you’re invading.”
Miko spoke with a calm, but chilling tone. Wherever his eyes landed would result in the shrieks of the soldiers.
“Now, now. Don’t be so scared. Yeah, I came here to slaughter you all, but I’m giving you all a chance.”
Miko said.
“I could’ve destroyed a large portion of you if I had used my previous attack as a surprise attack.”
He used his thumb to point at the vast crater behind him.
“But I don’t want that. What I want is a battle where we all can pleasantly put our lives on the line. A one sided massacre would be boring.”
He lifted a finger.
“As such, i'll give you a chance to prepare to fight to the death against me and my crew.”
The soldiers all looked at each other in confusion, but Miko continued regardless.
“Fifteen minutes. From what I can tell, that’s how long it will take before my team starts attacking you all. So if I was you, I’ll use that time wisely.”
He spread his arms and declared in an overbearing manner.
“Contact your Generals! Tell them to give everything their measly kingdom has to offer! Your intel is fake! So don’t hold back because your deaths are already certain! Struggle! Fall! Crawl! Get up and fight again! The only way to live to see tomorrow is to get rid of your hesitation and fear and come at us like a wild pack of animals!”
Miko’s voice caused the blood of the Aloe Kingdom’s soldiers to boil. It was as if he was speaking to his own army trying to hype them up for battle. But he wasn’t! He was speaking to enemies, encouraging them to fight him with everything they got, and it actually worked.
Was this the work of his charisma, or was it his madness spreading to enemies. No one knew for sure, but the fact remains that a bloody and grand battle were both sides battle until only one remains is about to begin.
“War doesn’t determine who’s right, only who’s left!”
Miko roared loudly.
“Now then, don’t disappointment me Aloe Kingdom!”
