Chapter-17 Invaders

“Move fast, we are nearly there” A man wearing a mask instructed his teammates, the man is tall and with a fine muscular he was wearing a black and green gear the same pattern which army soldier usually wear, all the people following were also wearing the similar gear they were as well equipped with military SMG at the same time.

While running across a passage which looked like part of underground chamber, they all stopped upon instructions of a certain someone in the team.

“Wait; here is the lace we are right below the place.”

“Roger, that”

“Make the preparations right away”

Upon hearing the commands, all the soldiers formed a circle enclosing a certain area, five of the soldiers picked out some of the explosives out of their bag packs and started planting them on the roof above them, they planted the explosives in a regular pattern, they didn’t made any marking beforehand, they just came and planted the explosives in a way, which they felt was most appropriate, they were expert in their work, they had a lot’s of experience which made them capable of instantly doing their work without any preparations made before hand or a big accurate planning.

The five soldiers finished with their work, they joined the cue with their other mates and waited for the explosion, the bombs which they planted were time-bomb the only thing which they now could do is to wait for the explosion to take place.

Nearly after 4 minutes the explosion took place, the ruins of the place fall between the circle in which they were standing, and above them a perfect circular hole was formed.

“Now, men move up.” –Squad leader.

The entire squad climbed up the chamber through the whole which they blasted open, they all climbed and stood in a line with their squad leader being in the centre, they all took a thorough inspection of their surroundings, they were all present in a place which could they literally consider as a slum, it was filthy, it stink like a real slum, the only difference was that there was a roof above it which could protect its poor inhabitants from rain and sun both.

“All of you we are from revolutionary army, we are here to escort you out of this miserable place.” -The squad leader

“What, anyone reply now.” After some time he yelled again, seeing no one answering him, he lost his composure and become more aggressive.

“We won’t come with you” An old lady stepped out and replied, the woman was fragile and weak, she looked like as if she was in her late 80’s, her skin was all patchy, her hair were pale white and density was very less as well, her voice was shivering just like her old skinny hand.

“We, won’t come with you” she repeated, looking straight into the eyes of the squad leader she spoke “We all are here to serve the gods who rule over this land, our life is been given to us by them so they have right to choose what to do with not us, if we are given a bad life then it is because of the sins which we have committed in this life or our previous incantation.”

“Oye, old lady, do you know there is a fine line between serving and slavery and that line is already been crossed over years ago, you are no servant to god here, you all are just slaves of some selfish people who hide themselves behind the name of gods and harass you, they are not the gods which you pray to, they are just some humans like you who hide behind their name.” –Squad leaders.

“You sure are young aren’t you, that’s why you cannot understand true meaning of karama.” –Old lady.

“Yes, I can’t a demon like me can never understand this karma, the only thing which I can understand is humanity, and you people are not living like humans here, that is all I can see.” –Squad leader.

“You don’t get it son, ones you are under god’s shelter you don’t need any of those basic requirements, and we all people fell the same thing.” –Old lady.

“You don’t get it do you, you filthy revolutionaries” a strong and clear voice echoed the entire underground chamber, a tall shadow slowly walked down the stairs, spouting out the most cruel words “the people whom you are fighting against are the descendants of those who fought to give you all a future, a place to call home and you pitiful beings are standing against them.”

The man who spoke the words was a tall man someone over 6 feet in height, he had a humongous muscular body, he was wearing a red coat over his black trousers, which were decorated with medals and honoured with the name of army.

“Everyone, take your positions and fire, it’s General Kunamora.” The leader of squad instructed them, they all took their positions and started firings the bullets, the whole place were sounded by the sound of bullets, the empty shells which were dropping down from the guns.

“What is it some sort of joke I didn’t knew only weaklings were going to assemble here.” Kunamora walked out of the gun firing, he was completely unharmed, all the bullets didn’t had any effect on him, and he was standing there as if nothing happened to him.

“Damn, he is an elementist, there nothing we can do.” A soldier screamed, his legs were shivering from fear, he was not able to hold onto his guns, he knew if he stayed here he would die, he tried to escape from the place, he jumped into the hole in the ground in order to escape from the hopeless situation, when he was hit by a huge rock of magma, which diluted his body, the magma, completely erased his existence and sealed the hole at the same time, which left no way to escape for others.

“Now, die you all” Kunamora jumped on a random soldier with his fist converted into a lava, his had was now not made up of flash and bones but of molten rocks extracted from seas of hell.

His punch was so warm that it could even melt people without even touching the person, he aimed for a random person and attacked him, but suddenly that feeling vanished it was nowhere near hot, it was just normal room temperature, he opened his eyes and saw the general being imprisoned in a magical force field from all direction.

“Who are you calling weak, are you blindfold or something.” A man among the soldier moved towards Kunamora, he was wearing a heavy golden knight armour, which suits perfectly a brave and strong warrior like Ichijo one of the revolutionary army leaders, holding a huge spear in his arm he warned Kunamora.

He cannot look more magnificent like he was currently is, huge body wrapped in a gorgeous armour, long shiny black hair, green eyes which had no fear in them, a calm and relaxed expression.

“What the hell, you coward, you trapped me here so that you can run away, where you were even hiding? Bastard.”—Kunamora spit out words of anger.

“Don’t sweat the details, I didn’t have any means of fighting you an elementist so I decided you to trap in here, you cannot expect a fair fight as long as you are an elementist, my dear enemy.”--

“Sir, Ichijo thanks for your assistance.” The squad leader thanked the man who saved them, while posing a salute to Ryler.

“Don’t worry about that I am here to escort people out of this place, I didn’t do a favour to you, I just did my job.” Ichijo who has been hiding himself among the Soldier revealed himself.

“Now, all you people I’m giving you a two choice, either come with us willingly or get yourself dragged out of here.” Ichijo made a suggestion to all people held by the King, more than a suggestion or offer it sounded like a threat to all people.

A woman walked out of the crowed towards the revolutionaries, her face was pale and eyes were dead, she was a beauty but she wasn’t attractive, her expression showed the sorrow within her hearts.

“What are you doing Hiyori?” The old lady yelled at her.

“I am going out of here.” The women said in her thin voice.

“Are you betraying your own gods, you foolish little girl.” –Old lady yelled at her.

“Shut up, there’s no god in here, they are just some lustrous beasts, and how can you call those monsters gods? They are the one who killed my Husband and raped me for years and when they were bored of me, they dropped me here like a trash, do you call them gods, if people like them are gods then this world is doomed.” The women spoke in a cold shivering voice, even while speaking words of hatred her voice couldn’t become harsh and express her, her cold voice didn’t changed. The emptiness within her had made her forget how to express her.

“Yes, the world is doomed if there are gods like them, but don’t worry those gods have already left the world.” Ichijo spoke to the women.

“Curse you all, do you even know what sin you have uttered, killing a god do you know what will happen to you people.” –The old lady cursed Ichijo.

“NO, old lady, even if judgement from the real heavens falls we all together will stand victorious, walking on the path we believe is correct.” -Ichijo.

The mission of revolutionary army was near to getting over in country of cancer, they have assassinated the royal family who were even the gods here, they have rescued the slave which were held by them, and all that remained was to escort them to the safety.
