No matter how hard the white army was charging toward the mist, no matter big the army was and how high their morale was, they all ended up as corpses falling to the ground!
The Black Totem Snake rode the mist and stared at the Silver Skyruler proudly. He did not even bother looking at the army of White Magic Falcons that was charging at him. Thousands of White Magic Falcons had not inflicted any damage to his domain. He reached out his tongue and hissed at the Silver Skyruler, as if he were mocking its idiotic decision of sending its people to death.
The Silver Skyruler realized that its people were dying for no reason. It quickly ordered the White Magic Falcons to back off before firing its sharp feathers at the Black Totem Snake.
Half of the feathers had been burned into ashes by Councilman Zhu Meng’s fiery pike, thus the attack was not as powerful as before. The Black Totem Snake stood above the mist. The sharp feathers only left some markings on his scales. The Black Totem Snake simply stood there and stared at the Silver Skyruler, as if he were waiting for his opponent to attack with all it had.
Suddenly, the Black Totem Snake lunged forward like ray of purple-black lightning. The dense domain of feathers failed to stop him as he struck the Silver Silver Skyruler, bit its wing, and hurled it down to the ground.
——
Many civilians at the edge of the city were fleeing into the city in panic. Every city had a protective formation that would activate when being invaded by demon beasts. It was the refuge center for humans when their settlements were struck by calamity.

The protective formation could only cover a limited space. Usually, a city would only have one. Therefore, escaping to safety when a calamity took place was a challenging task, too.
The streets looked like tiny grids from the sky. The buildings and cars were incredibly tiny, let alone humans.
The people were like tiny black dots from afar. They were only visible when a crowd gathered together. The black dots were too slow compared to the speed of the army of White Magic Falcons. If it weren’t for the barrier of poisonous mist at the edge of the city, they would have become prey for the White Magic Falcons.
“My God, what on Earth is that?” A few students in the midst of the crowd being evacuated saw a silver creature falling from the sky.
The silver creature was covered in feathers. As the sharp feathers reflected the light of the rising sun, it looked like it was wearing armor. Its feathers were the first to land on the ground. A huge area of the low-rises were crushed into pieces. The dust from the impact billowed through the air several streets away!
The city’s west did not have many people left. After the Silver Skyruler slammed onto the ground, it rose to its feet furiously and patted the dust and debris from its body. It seemed to value its cleanliness.
It slowly gathered itself. Its massive size resembled the typical gigantic monsters in movies. The buildings, streets, gardens, hospitals, schools and bridges in the area were like toy models to the demon bird.
The humans had withdrawn far from the area, but when they turned around, they could still see the giant demon bird extending its wings, despite being half a city away. It was a devastating visual impact to the crowd, bringing terror into their hearts!

Inside a school, a female teacher who was helping the students with the evacuation screamed and pointed at the sky. “Something else is falling down!”
The people could easily tell it was a black snake while it was still falling from the sky. As it descended rapidly, they realized that its size was even bigger than it seemed!
The Silver Skyruler was already a gigantic monster, and yet the snake was double its size!
The streets of the city were instantly destroyed by the impact as the snake landed on the ground. The dust swept up high. The people could not believe their eyes!
Humans considered Magic a power that surpassed everything, yet the two gigantic beasts were on a completely different level!
——
Still on top of the Black Totem Snake, Mo Fan and Lingling faces were extremely pale, and they were utterly terrified!
The big guy did not even remind them before he started fighting the Silver Skyruler. He should at least have put them down somewhere. Did he really need to be so violent?
The Black Totem Snake was indeed hot-tempered. He was fully focused on the battle with the cold-blooded Silver Skyruler. Luckily, he still had some conscience, wrapping Mo Fan and Lingling in a few layers of scales to protect them. Otherwise, the collision between the two Ruler-level creatures alone was enough to break them into pieces!
The Black Totem Snake did not give the Silver Skyruler any chance to catch its breath. He swung his tail as the Silver Skyruler was trying to fly into the sky…
The snake tail whipped at the Silver Skyruler as soon as it left the ground, right in its face.
The Silver Skyruler was struck down once again. It let out a furious shriek. A terrifying, destructive sonic wave was unleashed!
The sonic wave traveled toward the Black Totem Snake. Everything nearby was shattered into pieces. Even the snakes sturdy scales began to crack slightly under the destructive force.
The Black Totem Snake was not bothered by it. He lunged forward and flung his tail at the Silver Skyruler once again.
The tail swept past the sonic wave and landed on the Silver Skyruler’s opened beak.
The Silver Skyruler was like a singer being slapped in the face because its voice was too terrible. The sonic wave came to a stop as the demon beast staggered a few steps backward, crushing a toll station under its talons.
“The big guy is so ruthless!” Lingling exclaimed with glistening eyes from their hiding place inside the Black Totem Snake’s scales.
Mo Fan nodded beside her.
When they first rose into the sky, Mo Fan had witnessed how the Silver Skyruler had beaten the crap out of the five Super Magicians.
However, when the Black Totem Snake joined the battle, he first gave the Silver Skyruler a chance to attack with its domain. He then bit its wing and flung the demon beast to the ground, before giving it two great slaps to the face with his tail. The previously disdainful Silver Skyruler could not do anything apart from crying out angrily!
“So many people are watching!” Lingling turned around and saw countless people watching the battle from the center of the city. They had gathered at places and on top of buildings which provided them a better view.
Both the Silver Skyruler and the Black Totem Snake were too enormous. Even from half a city away, they could clearly see the battle between the two creatures!

For King and Kin: A Fox's Journey
Two fox-kin siblings set out to serve a human king, hoping to secure ties with the royals that had formed in times of war. Yet, much is demanded of them as their father's reputation precedes them. They find the King struggling to keep his vassals from breaking the terms of the armistice. With reports of smuggling increasing and the nation's strategic resources at stake, their father is sent to oversee the border. The king, fearing for his own children, hopes for six more months. Meanwhile, tavern brawls turn bloody as a cry spreads across the land, "Loyalty? Or bread!". What to expect: - cold steel weapons with magic- colonial-esque era- elements of strategy (including logistics)- powerful mages that can't block a crossbow bolt. Except for some earth mages.- realistic depictions of violence. I don't care to focus on it. - other races introduced eventually, if they fit. - Australian english, except when I slip. Not much slang though, I reckon.

Aeternalis
One born of nothingness. A world born of everything. To return all to nothing. Or surrender to everything. A man born into an infinite world, trying to find his path to the top. Trials and tribulations come from friends and foes alike until all bow before him. ------------------------------------- Author here! This is my 3rd story on RoyalRoad, the other two having long since been dropped years ago. They were a mess of ideas and had no real substanence to them, leading me to begin hating writing them and eventually just stop writing altogether for about a year and a half. Finally, after reading hundreds of thousands of pages of novels, from low fantasy to sci-fi litrpg's to thousands of pages long xianxias, I finally feel ready to write a real story that isn't a cesspool of ideas blended together. I plan to see this out to the end, as I already have the first few major arcs planned out unlike my other stories where I thought of ideas as I wrote. This story takes place in a world with a litrpg system, as per tags. This isn't a VRMMO or Reincarnation story. The main character exists in and is from said world. There are some differences from other litrpg's which will be explained in author notes in the few few chapters. I plan to publich 6-7 chapters a week, each 2-3k words long. If i fail to do so I will create a back-log I have to eventually make up but as of writing this it's the summer for me so I'll have plenty of time to write. Enjoy, and welcome to the world of Aeternalis.
