《Devour》Chapter 21: Angel of Dawn
Advertisement
The Midas family didn't sit idly to watch the Blood Moon Cult take their territory. Big top families usually govern land they own and profit from it, and war is good and bad at the same time. The Midas family even sends the only descendent, the next Patriarch of the Midas family, to Dawn City, the merchant city. Most trading companies settled to make a profit in this city, while the Midas family controlled what comes in or out. Aera is not alone since the family assigns two Magus Rank magicians and two Grandmaster Rank warriors to protect her, even giving their lives in the process.

Proximity one thousand invaders from Blood Moon Cult and Nether Sect disciples try to take Dawn city.
When Blood Moon Cult and Nether Sect's leaders prepare the combatant, a bright blazing ball of fire with electricity circulating the star passes the camps. Everyone looks up at the sky and believes this as a good omen, but this wishing star appears to grow every second pass without knowing what comes next.
The person commanding the invasion looks at the beautiful glowing ball in the sky and notices it growing, and there's no sign of stopping or averting direction. He shouts about the impending danger while everyone is dazed by how beautiful the wishing star-like comet is in the sky. When they manage to get back to their senses, this beautiful star hits the ground.
The impact roughly killed one hundred cult members and sect disciples combine and another one hundred people injured from the attack. The people within ten to thirteen meters away from the heart of the explosion turned to ashes. Those who are unfortunate to experience the blast and survive find themselves paralyzed.

They never expect the merchants to attack first.
Two figures stand in the middle of the crater as the dust clears up and notice a lady with white and sky blue armor holding a spear-like umbrella and a man with a half-plate armor while he places his hand around the lady's waist, telling everyone to fuck off.
These two figures are our Goddess of Destruction, Aera, and Mickey, the perverted monkey.
The four assigned bodyguards fall from the sky beside Aera and Mickey as they wonder if these two require protecting in the first place. The Midas Family didn't plan to attack but to defend the city, but Aera decisively suggested her parents to strike without the enemies knowing and obtaining the upper hand.
"You dare attack the Dawn, the merchant city!" Aera shouts.
The rare side of the invaders' formation suddenly broke a fight since the Midas Family set an ambush. Leaving the city with only a few True Magician Rank magicians to defend the city they grew up in; luckily, the wall is protected with magic to hold the enemies outside the magicians cast their spell.
The enemies charge while activating their soul weapon or item, and the magicians cast their magic towards Aero, Mickey, and the four bodyguards. The bodyguards hold the rare and the left, right side while Aera and Mickey keep the front.
While Aera and Mickey are fighting the enemies, the Vice Commander shouts, "The only heir and a true maiden of Midas family... I want you to my collection!!"
"Collection?" Mickey looks at the Vice Commander
This vice commander is also well known to be the "Slave driver" due to his whip and drug that causes anyone to follow his command no matter what he said. He found the soul whip and how to make the drug in ruins a long time ago.

The three naked maidens around the vice commander are doing shameless acts to him that make Aera's blood boils since those three maidens are addicted to the drug he gave to them and have no more free will. Aera is about to charge towards the vice commander but stops by Mickey with a serious yet sad face.
Mickey sees or treats any girl ugly or beautiful, smart or dumb, short or tall, and so on; the only God's perfect creation that needs to be praise or worship by men, but this doesn't feel right; that makes him the angriest person in the war.
"I'll take this one," Mickey said with an angry tone.
His body starts to produce electricity thanks to the soul necklace and Jio's gift, which can store the energy he needs. Electricity covers Mickey's body, feet, and arms as the cracking sound intimidates the people around him.
Mickey charges towards the vice commander, but the three slave maidens cover their master while the vice commander runs away, but Mickey doesn't stop and hits the maiden's chest one by one, straight to the heart as they die instantly.
*Mercy Killing* Mickey thought.
Most people stop halfway since they know that the vice commander is controlling the maidens. He uses his whip to the people around him to protect him from danger; even he sends True Magician rank magicians, the same outcome, and his fate is sealed in Mickey's hand.
*How could this 17 to 20-year-old boy do this to a fair maiden* The vice commander thought.
After killing everyone that the vice commander sent, Mickey cuts the vice commander's right arm and left arm. No blood comes out of the cut-off arm since the electricity flowing in Mickey's arms is so hot that it closes the wound instantly.
Paralyzed on the ground eating dirt, the vice commander saw his legs flying away from this body and watch Mickey picks up a knife from a corpse.
Mickey throws the knife cutting the vice commander's dick as it bleeds.
Listening to the vice commander's screams, Mickey takes the soul whip and related drug formula in the vice commander's universal bag as he destroys it without hesitation.

This is the story of an expanding empire, not understanding its reach, unfulfilled by its goals, and misled by its gods. It follows a group of travellers as they try to expand the empire, and probe the edges of its control. It is set in a world in which power is directly connected to origins, ancestry, and the gods of a culture. It examines the effects of conflict on a people when they can’t be disconnected from their surroundings, and thus true mobility is not possible. The first book will be focusing on a group trying to explore and settle the lands east of their empire. Deciding that a new push is needed, groups are being funded to take and farm the near-empty land, and this group of four is heading out ahead of many of the settlers. The four - Sojo, Mirrel, Eyn, and Brehen - hope to find and chart something of importance in a vast, nearly unexplored landscape, and bring the knowledge back to make their fortune. This story will be focusing on the people that make, inspire, and ultimately shape the course of an empire's ambitions. It is hosted at https://thecorinthianman.wordpress.com/ and updates Wednesdays.
