The Guardian gods-Chapter 256

The mage general waved her hand as the chained book hanging on the waist floated up, with the chains breaking apart, A Murmur like chant left her mouth as blue light fell upon the plague bearers.

The flying female general waved her hand as troops evolved for flight quickly moved in grabbing hold of the plague bearers as they took to the sky.

The appearance of the aerial troop caught the attention of Erik and his army, they were surprised as they truly think they have driven the troops back but it seems like they haven’t given up.

Erik meanwhile was frowning the whole time, he knew something bad was about to happen but what exactly, he didn’t know so immediately he commanded "Raise your shield and be ready"

The aerial troops like a Jet bomber, quickly flew above the sky on Erik’s army dropping the plague bearers. The mage and archers reacted quickly to take down whatever was flying down at them.

The plague bearers facing this attack all died mid air before they could even land, Erik’s spear appeared in his hand buzzing, warning him of danger and covering him in a shield.

His premonition happened as the bodies of the plague bearers fell on the dome created by the mages before exploding into a heavy green gas.

If that was all, the mages wouldn’t mind, but the gas was Magical in form as it ate away at the dome, as more bodies fell and exploded the more it wore away at the reserve of the mages.

The mage general seeing that, began glowing blue as she floated up from the horse she was sitting on, following behind her were the mind reavers who were also covered in a blue psychic aura.

An invisible wave of pure psychic energy shot out, guided by the female mage, impacting the minds of Erik’s side.

Screams of pain echoed as the mages clutched their heads, the lack of concentration weakening the dome as the green plague broke through. The archers, though hit by the psychic attack, managed to move and quickly grabbed nearby mages, retreating from where the plague was spreading.

Some mages weren’t so lucky. As the plague hit them, they fell to the ground, screaming in agony. Pus grew out from their skin, accompanied by a distinctive smell, soon followed by them spitting out blood.

Erik’s heart pounded, as he saw the small advantage he had gained quickly disappearing. Looking at the mages, Erik clenched his spear, ready to throw it.

Suddenly, he stopped as he looked to the sky in disbelief. He almost couldn’t believe the thought that sprang into his head, but the hot approaching aura made him believe that it might be real.

From the sky, a figure with wings of flame fell like a pillar of light at the center of where the plague was. Almost as if the plagues met their enemy, they quickly dispersed, allowing the mages who had been screaming in pain to relax before passing out.

The smoke covering the figure was slowly swept away as the figure unfolded their wings. Finally, the appearance of the intruder was revealed—a tall man clad in gold armor with long red hair flowing behind him.

The figure seemed to sense Erik looking at him, so he turned, his blazing eyes aflame, and smiled. "This is our first time meeting, King of Humanity."

Erik got down from his horse, taking a step forward and appearing in front of the figure with his hand stretched out for a handshake. "I wish we met in different circumstances, but it’s great seeing you, King of the Sun Kingdom."

Edward looked at Erik before laughing and taking the handshake. "You seem to be having a hard time."

Sighing, Erik nodded. "Indeed we are. Silas’s aerial troops are proving to be a significant problem."

Edward’s wings unfolded behind him as he laughed out loud. "I can’t leave my kingdom unguarded, but I have brought some backup with me, so you can leave the aerial troops to us."

Erik said nothing, a look of confusion on his face, which Edward picked up on. "You are wondering why we are willing to help, right?"

Erik nodded to Edward’s question, who sighed before answering. "The daughter of our god and her children requested that we offer help to you. You have had a hard time with Silas, and Silas winning is a situation we don’t currently want on the continent, especially with the upcoming wave of problems."

Erik’s eyes widened in realization. "The daughter of the Sun God?"

Edward nodded. "Yes"

Erik felt a surge of hope. "Then we fight together."

Edward smiled, his fiery wings flaring out majestically. "Indeed. Let’s show Silas that even in our darkest moments, we stand united."

With Edward’s reinforcements, the battle took a turn. His flaming wings sent waves of heat and light across the battlefield, bolstering the morale of Erik’s troops.

Edward’s warriors, elite soldiers of the Sun Kingdom, descended from the sky. Edward, with a graceful yet powerful leap, took to the sky once more. His flaming wings spread wide as he targeted the female general who had been commanding the aerial troops.

Silas, meanwhile, had a frown on his face. He had entertained the possibility of the kingdoms working together to fight him, but the chances had seemed small. Yet he had still had the confidence of winning. But seeing the wings on Edward’s back, he knew the advantage he had was gone.

Raising his hands, Silas’s eyes glowed red as he spoke. "This was supposed to be a surprise gift for Erik, a gift that would bring him despair, but it seems many are eager to share this gift."

Silas’s eyes met Erik’s before he spat out, "Devour!" Hearing his command, all of Silas’s troops began moving differently. The corpses of their fallen comrades were taken as meals, and the soldiers began eating, growing stronger.

Erik, Roland, and a few soldiers who had experienced this knew what was happening. Erik quickly barked out, "Don’t let them get to the bodies!"

Too bad Erik’s words were drowned out by the charging form of the general riding a boar. The general was quickly making his way to Roland.

Roland, surrounded with lightning, saw the figure and had no plan of letting the giant come close to his soldiers. He turned into lightning and shot out from the formation to meet the general.

In Roland’s eyes, with his speed, everything was slow. As he got to the general, he swung his sword at the giant boar to cut it in half. Roland was met with surprise as the boar suddenly disappeared from its position.

Roland noticed a huge shadow covering him. Looking up, he saw the boar mid-air, and the general riding it, swinging a huge hammer at Roland.

Not planning on meeting that head-on, Roland quickly distanced himself as the hammer impacted the ground where he had been, followed by the huge sound of an explosion, like a bomb had been dropped.

The dust cleared, revealing a sight that almost made Roland squeal in surprise. At the position where he had been, a huge deep pit had formed.

"If that had fallen on me, I would have been nothing but a stain on the ground," Roland thought to himself as he gulped.

His attention was brought to the boar, huffing and glaring at him. "How did the boar move so fast that I couldn’t see it jumping?"

Roland’s lightning reflexes kicked in as he ducked, noticing the boar and the general once again casting a huge shadow above him. Even though he ducked, the turbulence caused by the swing of the giant threatened to knock Roland off his feet.

Erik’s attention was drawn to the exchange once he heard the explosion sound. "The monster riding the boar has an unnatural level of strength, and the boar is very unusual," he thought to himself.

Just then, the boar disappeared, appearing close to Roland who ducked again. "Teleportation!" Erik realized. "The boar can teleport."

Looking at the giant, Erik found the combination of the two brilliant. The monster had immense strength but was hindered by a bulky body that limited movement and speed. However, with the boar’s teleportation ability, that disadvantage was nullified.

Turning his attention to his other general, a female figure moving fast with her troop in formation like an assassin, Erik quickly formed a plan. Holding his ear, where a small magic circle bloomed, Erik immediately gave her an order, "Saga, break the formation. Roland will need your help dealing with the monster he is fighting."

Saga received the order and immediately spoke to her lieutenant, who took over the command. She was then covered with wind that quickly propelled her towards Roland.

Roland, still evading the giant’s attacks, noticed Saga’s approach. She moved with the grace and speed of a predator, her wind magic allowing her to maneuver effortlessly through the battlefield.

"Saga, perfect timing," Roland shouted, his voice filled with relief. "This boar can teleport, and the general’s strength is overwhelming."
