Chapter 365: Chapter 365
Vitar's Point of View
Capital of Vithari - Dwardew
"Get back to the palace!" I ordered my mother. The source of this content is N0veII_bIn
She had taken someone's hammer to use as she slammed into another one of the cloaked invaders. "Do not think to order me around just yet, boy!" My mother's response was firm but forced from her exerting herself. "You're not king quite yet." Then she raised the weapon high. "We hold here! Do not let the falling of our defenses be our demise! Make them regret-"
The Queen of Dwarves was cut off when the forces in front of us were crushed into the sand, horribly mangled. Bodies also started to fall from the sky. We all looked up to see Arthur floating above. This surprised me since I was certain I saw him get torn in half earlier. My mother was a huge boost to morale, which was definitely needed, but this Arthur Pendragon was giving out hope in droves.
"Their numbers are too great, even for you, Arthur." I told him. "There might be close to a hundred thousand enemy combatants."
"That Wraith is the only issue. Keep your people inside the gate. Ruined thought it may be, I will not be held responsible for anyone who comes out to help me." He told us firmly. "Do not leave this city, Ventari."
My son looked at me and clearly wanted to say something, but I stopped him before nodding. "You have my word I will keep them all inside. I'll make sure to inform the Druids as well."
His head turned toward the gate, but his eyes stayed on me shortly before flickering forward. "Good." Arthur then rolled his neck slightly as he moved toward the enemy forces. "I'm going to enjoy this far more than I should."
He continued to walk toward them without drawing his sword or showing any concern. However, it wasn't until they charged at him that things escalated far more than I expected. The enemies just started to be torn in half. It was so unexpected that many of us stepped back from the sheer power shown as Arthur continued to walk on like nothing was happening.
Blood rained down from above as the upper torsos of the bodies landed with dull thumps on the ground. Many of the enemy were barking out orders, but when dozens of them were torn in two simultaneously, everything turned to chaos. Spells from Elves focused on him, only for them to be redirected somewhere else, deflected, destroyed, or held in place. Creatures, much like the aforementioned Ghouls, started to appear.
"By the gods..." The words left my mouth in a whisper.
And all we did was watch as Arthur merely walked out into the desert. At least, until a few crept inside from behind him or flew in from above.
