Chapter 202 - Double Slicer

Considering that they were flying so fast to the point where they couldn't even keep their eyes open, it didn't take long to arrive behind the Army of which from the looks of it was at least 2 Kilometers away from the Kingdom. The Army really didn't take a risk, I suppose they were left traumatized by damage the two Fire Controllers blew above their heads.

After that messenger got Torched, the Fire Blasters arrived behind the Army a bit over 10 minutes later with a lot of effort put in! Mogranius used a lot of his Stamina throughout the way due to the intense maximum speed required for this task, he won't be able to provide a long lasting contribute in battle compared to the Grand Master and the Electus.

To avoid detection, they landed nearly a hundred yards away from the Army, just in time too. Because they seem to be slowly marching down towards Pameres Kingdom, they either kept moving at this speed throughout their entire journey and sent a Messenger to dash towards the Kingdom. Or, they might have taken a hint that the Messenger obtained his foul fate.

Either way, King Michael's idea is Golden. Because if they waited for the Army to arrive all the way near the Walls, it would be tremendously difficult to hold them back and there would be barely anything stopping them from attacking a lot of innocent Civilians once they broke through the Main Gate.

The Fire Controllers landed on the ground as light as a Feather to avoid detection. Being so far away from the Army, Eric was convinced to start attacking now since they would deliver a lot more damage while they are out of Steel's reach, he is more than right about range but not on proper use of their position. Right before he was about to attack, King Michael grabbed Eric's arm and loudly whispered. "What are you doing?" A bit angry about such a careless move no doubt, he got confused of such irresponsibility coming from the Kid who risked so much to protect his own before. That Crown on Eric's head is supposed to grant some perks in his brain capacity, but what he tried to do is quite stupid.

"What? Isn't this why we are here for? Let's roast these Bastards!" I'd like to say that such wordplay came from Mogranius, but no. It came from Eric, I guess he is a bit more comfortable using impetuous language when there aren't any ladies around. 

"We are." Assured King Michael with a loud whisper, displeased of Eric's approach too but not enough to express it by word. King or not, he is only 15 years old after all. "But if we shoot from here, we won't be able to do enough damage and just waste Stamina."

A bit embarassed of his dumb choices, Eric decided to cooperate with 312 years of Wisdom. "Oooh. Yes that makes sense."

"Most likely." Responded King Michael with a smile and afterwards in a more calm approach he clarified. "Don't shoot until I tell you too, we need to leave a large impact here instead of just setting a couple Soldiers into a Blaze."

Tip toeing their way towards the Army, they managed to get as close as 50 yards near the Enemy without being detected. But even now, King Michael doesn't see it as the appropriate time or distance to attack. I mean Common, the Army has occupied the entire Road and spread far wide around it too, they are basically sitting ducks at the moment, targets easy to hit. Why would he want to approach closer?

Eric is getting anxious no doubt, they are so Vulnerable now to Spears and Arrows. If the Army turns around and charges towards them, they won't be able to do enough damage without being forced to retreat or possible receive damage too.

To Eric's preference, sneaking was no longer an option past the 40 yard mark. Because a Soldier just casually turned his head around and found out that they are being followed, he didn't spare a second with Alarming the rest. "Fire Demons are behind us!" Of course he can't know that without seeing any of these three burst out Fire, but there were two common pieces of logic the Soldier managed to put together. The people behind them are Ignites and they weren't there before.

"Well. Looks like we need to attack now." Added Mogranius in partial intended Sarcasm but also because he didn't want to waste time when there literally are Soldiers charging towards them.

Without waiting for King Michael's Command, he made a small jump before he unleashed what he has been holding back. Landing on the ground first and forming a half sumo squat after, he blasted the first Fireball which blazed in wind breaking speed. Taking only about 7 Seconds before it hit its first target, or targets. The Fireball spread about 6 feet wide, a big one considering that he doesn't have as much stamina compared to the other two, but this will just be a quick attack and he isn't planning to stay here forever. This isn't a Picnic.

The Victims were first blasted 5 meters back until they forced nearly 20 other people to tumble over as if this was a Domino effect, this impact was worse than being kicked by a Horse. The ones that tumbled down barely got burned, but the ones who got victimized were missing their upper body mostly and some of their lower body too. 

Imagine it, he attacked from 40 meters away. What if he was closer? Do not underestimate an Expert(Level 4) Fire Controller. Some of the closeby Soldiers covered the trail of blood with their afternoon lunch once they saw how disgusting a burned Human looks like.

There is nothing nice about seeing a human hip with little flesh on it, bones would take a lot more to burn I suppose. Anyway, this attack isn't enough against an entire Army, he only managed to torch 5-8 men and heavily injured several more.

"Oh they noticed us!" Eric pointed out the obvious. Basically being sarcastic a little bit, quoting King Michael's battle strategy.

"I'm aware!" Swiftly replied King Michael, ignoring the wordplay. He dashed about 6 feet in front of Mogranius and showed once more what he can accomplish.

Clapping his hands to connect them, he placed them near his shoulders. A move you've read Mogranius doing a handful of times so far but this one has a bit of a twirl, literally! King Michael spinned once as fast as the eye can blink and a thin formation of Fire made its way towards their enemies.

Well I stood corrected, two thin rays of Fire were unleashed. One when he started the spin with his hands swiftly moved downwards his hip and the other when he finished the spin and moved his hands from his hip back to his shoulders. It just happened too fast for an eye to capture entirely. 

"Damn! The double slicer!" Gazed Mogranius in amazement. Of course this power move has many names, all linked to its result of course. But the "Double Slicer" is used on half of the cases to describe it.

"What's the Double Slicer?"

"Watch!" Just when Mogranius finished his one word sentence, the double slicer reached the Army who was already running with aims to end these "Fire Demons."

One double slicer stretched about 5 meters wide and the second stretched 7, but they were blasted out narrowly which only would manage to split a few heads and shoulders. If it was blasted horizontally, it would end tens of lives.

The first one managed to hit one Soldier from the middle of his upper waist to all the way near his neck, split the head of a closeby Soldier's on the right and cut off the leg of a nearby soldier's on the left. And continued victimizing more men after about 6 rounds before it vanished into mid air. The blast was so impactful that it pushed each victim 1-4 meters back depending on where they were hit.

The second slicer was around 2 feet away to the right from the first one so it managed to victimize another 4 rounds of men. Its durability seemed a bit lighter likely because it is longer in size, an effect much like a Sword but it sure dealt damage as well. This little attack victimized a bit over 30 men! That's 30 less to worry about. 

But it won't stop this entire Army who seemed to have adapted to the fact that they could for sure get killed even though they are wearing thick heavy Iron Armor. They ignored the quick death of their Brothers in War and continued to run towards their enemies in full speed carrying Iron Swords mostly while Eric spotted Arrows high in the air coming towards him and his two other companions.
