《The Devil's Parcel》Chapter 15: The end to a war
Advertisement
The army charged forward toward freedom or death. Abel leads the charge, jumping in the middle of the army.
He lands.
Abel swings his scythe, lifting stones from the earth, and with an encantation, he explodes them, scattering all the soldiers.
Amaya uses a condensed gravity field that keeps only the enemy soldiers in place.
Taking their opportunity, Lillith, Lillia, Gord, Samael, and Benjamin all storm the city killing anyone who tries to stop them.
Abel, along with Amaya, encompasses the city in a barrier that won't let anyone enter or leave.
"Amaya, go help the others. I got this here."
Amaya followed Abel's order and left to help.
Lilith runs around the city looking for the empower, killing enemy soldiers along the way.
While running around, Lilith spots the Emporer being escorted to the city cathedral.
She charges the Emperor.
She swings her blade aiming for the head, but she is stopped by a knight in ruby red armor.
"Long time no see." The knight says
Lilith doesn't reply. She tries to land an attack on the knight, but he dodges and counterattacks with an impact of his own.
Lilith slams against the building across the street
"My king, stay in the cathedral. I'll take care of this."
The king rushes inside with the rest of the knights.
Five knights linger to help the red knight, but he tells them to stand down.
Lilith gets up and immediately rushes the knight. She tries to land her knee on the knight's helmet, but he catches it.
Lilith swings her sword, but he dodges all the attacks.
The knight throws Lilith back,
Lilith lands and plans her next course of action.
The knight suddenly appears in front of her and swings his staff; all blows connect with Lilith.
Lilith falls.
"Seems the queen of Sol isn't as strong as I heard. Well, time to end this fight," The knight goes to slam his staff down straight through Lilith's head.
His attack is suddenly stopped by Gord.
The orc is infuriated. "What are you doing to my daughter."
Gord grips the staff hard and shatters it.
The two stand face to face.
The knight tries to land a strike on Gord, but it fails miserably. Gord sidesteps and lands a kick to the side of the knight's knee, instantly shattering it. Gord lands a solid blow to the knight's face breaking the titanium armor like glass.
The five knights jump at Gord.
Gord draws his sword and evades all the knight's attacks. Gord decapitates the knight in blue and dismembers the knight in purple with just his sword.
Gord goes for the last three knights, but his attack is stopped by the knight in red.

"You're much stronger than your daughter."
"Hmph. Your healing magic is impressive."
"I just wanted to test your strength. And it truly is something to behold. Also, the girl is all yours, like I promised."
Gord looks toward Lilith and sees a cloaked figure standing over her. Gord leaps at her, but she teleports away. Or at least try to because the barrier is preventing her. Gord's blade is about to land, but the red knight is too quick, and he blocks it.
Benjamin comes out of nowhere and jump-kicks the red knight pushing him away. Benjamin turns and slams the witch with his war hammer shattering her arm. Benjamin jumps at the witch and destroys her other arm; he then removes her cloak, revealing who was hiding underneath.
It was Erin. Lilith jumps at her and stabs her sword through her chest.
Erin's body decomposes instantly, showing only a skeleton.
"Wow, Lilith, is that how you greet a friend?"
Lilith looks up to see Erin.
Lilith goes for Erin's head. Erin responds by spawning a barrier around herself.
"Why do you hate me? It's not like I'm the one who killed Leon."
"Make no mistake, Erin, when I kill you, I will thoroughly enjoy it."
"You enjoy killing? Get real, Lilith."
An attack comes from behind Erin, but it too gets blocked
"Wow, Lillia, how cold."
"Not as cold as this."
Abel comes flying through the air and slices Erin's hands off.
Abel lands and extends his palm outward, revealing A runic pattern. He burns the design onto Erin's wrists.
"How did you get through my barrier?"
"You mean that thin piece of paper that surrounded you?"
Erin is sweating hard now; scared, she tries to fly away, but as she tries to activate her magic, the symbols on her arms light up and burn her.
"What did you do to me?!"
"Every time you try to use magic, it'll be canceled out, and your soul will burn more and more every time you activate the seal."
"You bastard!" Erin tries to attack Abel, but she is stopped by Lilith.
Lilith thrusts her sword into Erin's heart. Lilith swings the blade to the left, causing it to rip through Erin.
Erin falls to the floor.
Erin laughs with the little life she has. "You know, Lilith, you won't stop the other witches just because I die here. Our plan will still go on."
"Then we'll stop them," says Abel as he walks over and puts his foot on Erin's face.
A damnation circle gets seared upon Erin's face, and Abel breaks her skull underfoot.
Erin opens her eyes and sees fire burning all around her, and all she can hear is people begging for mercy.

"Welcome to hell, Erin."
Erin looks forward to see Abel.
"Enjoy your stay here."
Abel disappears, and a twisted demon appears with a rusted knife and chains.
Erin lets out a painful scream as the demon plunges his knife through her chest, pulling out her heart and organs.
The demon wrapped them on a chain around Erin's throat.
Erin tries to gasp for air, but the chain around her throat doesn't allow her to breathe, not that she can since she has no lungs.
Erin could feel her organs burning and aching, but she could do nothing because she was chained to a wall.
Erin started to cry, but the demon wasn't having any of it, so he put his arm under Erin's throat and pulled her tongue through.
There Erin would be left for eternity in constant agony.
Gord was still fighting the red knight when Abel appeared and landed a solid attack on the knights abdomen, breaking the armor.
"Go with Lilith Gord. I got this."
Abel goes on to fight a three vs. one.
Abel rushes the red knight and goes for a kick to the face, but the knight in green blocks the attack and gets sent flying backward with the red knight.
The knight in black goes to cut Abel in half, but instead, Abel turns and cuts him in two.
The green knight runs to Abel. Abel raises his arm and shoots a fireball
"Such a weak spell won't stop me!" says the knight
The knight tries to cut the fireball, but it melts the sword and goes through the knight, killing him in an instant. The red knight appears behind Abel and tries to land an attack, but Abel is too fast.
Abel smacks the knight with the blunt end of his scythe, sending him flying to the other side of the city.
Abel walks over to where Lilith is.
As he did, he felt a sudden burst of magic. Abel looks at the other knights and sees their bodies start floating and disappear.
"RUN! That knight split his body into fragments, but he's collecting his strength back." The others had no time to run.
The knight came flying in. Abel blocked the kick with his scythe; the shockwave sent everyone flying back except for Abel.
The knight was dawning a set of beautiful white armor with the design of an angel on it.
The knight disappears and reappears underneath Abel; he goes to land an uppercut, but Abel dodges it and lands his own blow.
The knight gets on his feet quickly and rushes Abel; Abel and the knight have a 'sword' fight in which they are evenly matched.
Abel gives directions to Lilith mid-dodge "Kill the emperor."
The white knight tries to kill Lilith, but he is stopped by Cerberus.
"Let's kill this guy Abel."
Lilith runs into the cathedral with the others, and together they kill all the enemy soldiers.
Lilith rushes to kill the Emperor.
CRASH!
The front of the cathedral is destroyed, and the white knight goes to kill Lilith, but the combined might of everyone stops him in his tracks. Abel gets the knight in a chokehold, and Cerberus pins down the knight's legs.
Lilith goes to kill the Emporer.
The white knight seeing this, makes his armor self-destruct and goes for the kill on Lilith.
Abel seeing this says, "Alastor, lend me your strength."
Abel summons chains from the ground and binds the knight.
"Those are chains from hell. No one can escape from them."
The knight tries to break free but can't.
Abel notices a binding circle on the knight's neck, which causes him to destroy it.
The knight falls over, only being supported by the chains.
"Do it, Lilith," Abel commands
"Wait, this war was just a bit of horseplay." The Emperor starts begging for his life
Lilith swipes her head and kills the Emperor.
Thanks to Samael, the whole thing was broadcasted, and the nation of Zen surrendered.
Lilith falls over and exhales. "Finally, it's over."
"We still have a lot of things we need to do, Lilith."
"I know"
Samael broadcasted Lilith's following words. "The Nation of Zen will merge and become one with Sol. Any who disagrees will be exiled. I Offer all a peaceful land to live in. I want no more fighting, but any who wish to fight for my people's land be warned that we will defend that land with our Lives, for we are The Nation of Sol.
The others walk into the broadcast and look straight into the souls of any would-be tyrants.
A week after the war
The Nation of Zen agreed to merge with sol to become a land of peace.
Citys are being built where the empty borders once were, and as for the white knight, he was under a forced bind by the Emperor.
The knight was set free since he was under control. He also decided to hang around with Lilith and be one of her personal guardians.
Lilith was hanging out with the white knight, whose name was Michael. When she got excellent news from her nurse. "Lilith, your egg is hatching."
