Cursed Thrones
Chapter 7 - Expedition

Deep within the Frostbite region, amidst that extremely cold snow and ice, hundreds of warriors were seen lined up neatly.

In front of them was a forest with heavy snow. It is not white, but rather dark red.

All of that was due to the massacre that had just been carried out by the 6th Holy Commandment that arrived at this place.

"Miss Aeryn, the entire low-level demon has been exterminated. But there are still 3 Hecate heir demons who still managed to survive" said one of the Knights while kneeling before Aeryn.

Hearing the report, Aeryn clasped tightly onto her sword. His face was also visibly irritated by the situation.

"Where are they?" aeryn asked briefly.

"They fled to the North. Some squads are still trying to...."

"Take the wounded and prepare to return." Aeryn replied briefly as she pulled the sword on her waist.

The sword had a reddish-colored hilt with a form like the mouth of a dragon. The blade of the sword was straight and bright white in color.

"Miss Aeryn?"

With the pace getting faster, Aeryn only replied briefly.

"Let me take care of it myself."

In an instant, Aeryn sped up very quickly. It was as if it just disappeared. Leaving his army in the middle of this snowy forest.

In the distance, precisely around the frozen river region, three demonic figures were seen trying to escape.

They ran as hard as they could, because right now their own lives were at stake.

"Damn it! That fucking knight!"

"It's all your fault! Because you're trying to hunt cattle in human territory!"

"Huh?! My fault?! Then who begs someone to find their child food?! You are! I just want to help you!"

"Shut up and speed up your footsteps!"

The three demon heirs to Hecate's power were seen arguing with each other. Throwing mistakes at others.

The knight who was trying to chase after the three of them seemed to be in trouble. Not only was it losing fast, but the extremely cold environment in this Frostbite region was further restricting their movements.

"Look, we've come a long way. Now we just need to hurry to hide" said one of the devils with horns on his forehead while looking back.

But suddenly....

'Stamp!'

A Knight with silver hair tied up was standing right before them. The female knight raised her sword and pointed it right towards the three Devils.

"Give up, Devil. Even if you carry some of Hecate's power, you have no chance of winning from me" Aeryn said with a flat face.

Aeryn immediately made the horses by grasping the sword using both hands.

His position was ready to swing his sword.

While the three Devils just now could only be surprised to see the sudden appearance of Aeryn.

"Well! You think we're gonna give up?! Even more so for female Knights like you?!"

"See this! We have a portion of the Demon King's horn! Don't think that you...."

'ZRAAAAAAT!!!'

In just a single slash from a great distance, Aeryn managed to decapitate the three Devils with her sword.

The extremely powerful airwaves from his sword swing were able to pierce through the thick necks of those three Devils. Without the slightest difficulty.

'Sreeett!'

Closing her eyes, Aeryn sheathed back her sword at her waist.

He walked slowly towards the bodies of the three Devils. Both of his hands began to move, as if he was drawing in the air.

In an instant, a large magic circle with a bright white color appeared above the thick snow.

"Scrios.." said Aeryn, jumping back a few steps.

From the center of the magic circle, a very bright white light appeared. It can even blind anyone who sees it directly.

The light soared to form a pillar. The hot temperature of the light was even able to easily melt the entire ice within a radius of 10 meters.

The Knights who saw the incident from a distance immediately realized, that the light pillar that was the embodiment of that high-level magic....

None other than their commander, Aeryn. The leader of the 6th Holy Commandment group.

"Well.... Again we depend on Miss Aeryn." said one of the Knights who saw the pillar of light in the distance.

"Then, the three Devils had just been exterminated, right?"

"of course. No demon can escape from it. That also makes him a commander." replied the other Knights.

Immediately, the group of Knights turned around and returned to the main force. Prepare to leave Frostbite as the entire Devil in this place has been successfully annihilated.

As for Aeryn herself, she still used some other destruction magic. All of that was done to ensure that the remaining body parts of Demon King Hecate were completely wiped out.

Preventing other Devils from being able to take advantage of it, both to strengthen themselves....

Or even resurrect the Demon King Hecate back.

......***......

...The Ruins of the City of Baltmore...

Behind the towering wall, there was a city that was once very magnificent. The city that used to be the center of trade in the Luvelia Empire.

But since the battle between mankind and the Devil nation, the city of Baltmore collapsed to almost nothing.

The population that used to reach 800,000 more people, now there is not even one person in this City.

"Welcome to one of the largest dead cities on the continent, Baltimore!" cecilia said while showing off the walls and gates of the collapsed city.

Brian could only stare towards the ruins of the city with a feeling of awe and astonishment. His eyes were wide open and glazed.

"Hmm? Wh why? Never been the city dead before?" cecilia asked curiously towards Brian.

"That's how. This is the first time I've seen a city die in person." Brian replied.

"You know? I'm curious about the world you came from. Is it a very peaceful world?" cecilia asked as she brought her face closer to Brian.

Brian began to think after hearing the question.

And after a while....

"No.... I think the world I came from was also filled with wars. Might.... Much worse."

"intriguing. One day you can tell me about it. But now, come on!" cecilia shouted as she pulled Brian's arm into the dead city.

Debris filled the destroyed streets. Make their journey more difficult.

Still, both are still searching.

Lifting the rubble one by one, to see if there is something behind it.

Unbeknownst to him, the sun has set. Evening day came.

And after working all day....

They both found nothing.

"Cecilia, aren't you there any magic or anything that can detect the existence of the Demon King's powers?" brian asked with a body so dirty from the dust from the debris of the building he moved.

"Eh? If anything, the Demon King devotee would have already completed their mission a long time ago."

"Damn it.... So how long are we gonna dig up these ruins?" ask Brian who is starting to despair.

Looking around the ruins of Baltimore, Cecilia replied.

"See our current speed.... Maybe 2 or 3 more months?"

"What's right?"

At that moment, Brian's hopes were completely dashed.
