Nox Ghul’s artificial night was pierced by the sharp sound of alarms, and the city's residents hurried to secure their homes. Explosions from the nearby countries’ conflict reverberated through the underground city, causing the ground to tremble.
Klaus Reinhardt was in his hidden lab, overseeing the chaos he'd set into motion. His attention was fixed on a holographic display showing the progress of the war. A secure line buzzed on his desk, a communication from the organization’s leader. Klaus answered, bowing his head in respect.
"Mein Führer, our plan proceeds as expected," Klaus reported.
Adolf Hitler, now a menacing figure due to the dark alchemical enhancements he had undergone, appeared on the screen. His eyes glowed with an unnatural intensity, and his voice carried a sinister echo. "Excellent, Reinhardt. Ensure that Nox Ghul remains destabilized. We will need the city’s resources and technology for our final push."
"Understood, Führer," Klaus replied, his voice filled with reverence.
Across the city, Seraphina Nocturne was enjoying a moment of peace on her rooftop perch, despite the growing unease around her. The city lights cast a serene glow, and she munched contentedly on her snacks, ignoring the distant sounds of conflict.
Suddenly, her peaceful evening was interrupted by a loud crash. A group of Neo-Nazi soldiers had infiltrated Nox Ghul, their presence marked by a distinctive insignia and advanced weaponry. They spread through the city, sowing chaos and fear.
Sera sighed deeply, her serene blue eye and fiery red eye scanning the chaos below. She reached into her bag and pulled out an unexpected item: an old-fashioned revolver, a gift from a friend who insisted she needed some form of defense.
You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version.
"Guess it’s time to do something," she muttered, checking the revolver’s chamber with a practiced motion.
She took to the skies, her mismatched wings flapping gently as she glided over the city. Below, she saw the Neo-Nazi soldiers harassing innocent demons and cyborgs. With a reluctant wave of her hand, she used her shadow manipulation to create illusions, confusing the soldiers and causing them to stumble into each other.
Sera landed gracefully in the middle of the street, her presence commanding despite her laid-back demeanor. One of the soldiers, a brutish figure with a scar across his face, spotted her and raised his weapon.
"Who are you supposed to be, angel?" he sneered.
Sera smirked, raising her revolver. "Just someone who wants a quiet life," she replied, firing a shot that disarmed the soldier. She followed up with a burst of fire conjured from her demonic side, sending him running.
As she moved through the city, Sera used her dual nature to her advantage. She healed wounded residents with her angelic powers and protected them with her demonic fire and shadows. Her lazy nature had not diminished her skills; in fact, her nonchalant attitude seemed to confuse and unsettle her enemies.
Finally, she reached a central square where a large group of Neo-Nazi soldiers were coordinating their attack. Klaus Reinhardt stood at the center, his eyes narrowing as he saw Sera approach.
"Ah, the half-breed," he said with disdain. "I’ve heard of you. Do you really think you can stop us?"
Sera shrugged, holstering her revolver. "Not really. But I can definitely make your day worse."
With a swift motion, she activated her dual nature shift, amplifying both her angelic and demonic powers. She became a blur of white and black, healing the injured while driving back the soldiers with blasts of fire and shadow.
Klaus sneered and activated a device on his wrist, summoning a group of enhanced soldiers. "You’re too late. The war is already upon us."
Sera paused, catching her breath. She looked at Klaus with a mixture of pity and frustration. "You really should learn to relax," she said, creating a time dilation bubble around herself to extend her nap time while planning her next move.
As the battle raged on, Sera found a moment to enjoy a piece of chocolate she had stashed in her pocket. Even in the midst of chaos, she remained true to her nature—seeking peace and quiet, one lazy moment at a time.
