All the abyss easily spent Mara swinging her sword easily as if it was light but she cut everything she attacked, Manes pointed towards the enemy long range, enemy enemy, Kelly from a distance snuffed out a dangerous enemy from a safe distance.
It was a total massacre to the abyss, it took about 1 hour to exhaust the entire abyss, after all Aradia came to Kirill who had just gotten off his horse.
"can I know your name...? Knight lord" Kirill nodded "my name is Kirill silver lance", Aradia nodded "call me wing of salvation... I saw everything, your manufer... Your courage and also a very good flanking from a distance, if you will join me to the celestial world to receive courage"
Kirill shook his head "all this is not my strategy... But my master planned all this", "really ? Who is this master of yours ?"
"mr Aldric... She is the coach and the brains behind this action of mine" Aradia was a little surprised "and where is this master of yours ?" Kirill nodded "you should be able to find him in the fortress he fought with the archers"
Aradia nodded seriously "alright... Thanks for the information" Kirill nodded "no problem" on the other hand because all the enemies had been dealt with Kelly began to descend into the former battle of the corpse of the abyss that began to turn into a small crystal ashes that were carried by the air, he picked up some arrows shot by the castle archers and realized each arrow was different and even he only found 2 normal arrows among the 10 he found.
"hey Mara come see this", "hm ? Found something ?" Kelly nodded while showing the arrows he picked up "see how many special arrows the gatekeeper shot"
"...! The quality is good too... Does Aldric produce all this in his town?", "i think he bought all this don't forget his town is a trade route 3 states surely he got a lot of income"
"but there are too many.... Maybe we'll get an answer when we go in and see if there's a special dart factory like the gospel or not" Kelly nodded "all is done ? Then let's head towards the city gate" Mara nodded in agreement.
Manes appeared on the side of Kali who was outside the battle "the situation is safe you can enter", "well thank you~, let's hurry to the fortress must be a lot of wounded"
Kali instantly summoned a white horse out of nowhere and rode it towards the gate of the fortress and the Manes floated at the same speed by his side "i am surprised this city can survive the attack of the abyss" Manes looked towards Kali while looking around only the corpse of the abyss started to crystallize and disintegrate.
"you're right... I'm surprised the soldiers in the castle didn't lose their morale seeing this many abyss troops" Kali nodded "abyss only used the numbers to destroy morale... But if a high moral army even 1 in 10 abyss would lose" Manes nodded "but how do they have this high morale ?" Shaking his head "we'll know as soon as we get there"
Kali and Manes arrived at the gate they were immediately let in Kali who entered with his white horse immediately raised his staff and the staff gave off an extraordinary holy light.
Instantly the injured began to heal who thought dead began to realize even though the dead were still dead, The time there closed and healed all the wounds of the troops easily even though the arrow wounds had to be handled by 3 cleric or more depending on the place it was a miracle for those who saw it.
Everyone cheered in joy at the victory and the heroes who had come in some happy tears at having survived, some mused at the sight of their dead comrades.
Mara and Kelly came in following "all restrained here ?" Manes and Kali nodded to Mara, and Mara sighed with relief "thank you then"
Leier came to Mara "thank you so much for coming... You're not sure you can exhaust so many enemy troops" Mara nodded "what are you leading here ?" leier shakes his head "no leader here is Mr. Aldric.. I'm here only as a knight escort"
Mara looks surprised "...! Where is he really now ?" leier looked worried and looked at the nearby temple "I'm not sure about his condition but he struck three arrows... He refused to be secured until the battle was decided to win... He was unconscious after that.... The cleric and his guards took him to the temple to be cleaned"
Almost simultaneously Kelly and Manes said with a worried expression ""I'm coming""" Mara looked confused and Kelly was flustered for worrying about Aldric's condition as much as Manes "um... Listen Aldric is my friend okay... I just want to know if he's safe or not" Kelly said with a brick.
"s-same... The boy was too careless j-if he hiduo I want to reprimand him" Mara then nodded "yes already let's come then Kali you have no problem in staying right ?" Kali nodded "hand me over"
Mara, Kelly, and Manes headed towards the temple quickly as they entered they saw Aldric's body floating in the sacred pool with an arrow already floating by his side, many people looked worried there and the Celerics were endlessly trying to cover their wounds with magic.
Mara swiftly drained her mana until all her wounds were covered when the pool-covered lukanua turned blood-red the cleric looked into a wild belakanh and saw the three heroes "sukurlah goddess Eda still loves our leader"
"how's the condition?", he's fine at the moment but he's losing a lot of blood... Haaa.... We have to quickly take her to the medical room to mount the blood crystal to speed up the production of blood in her body" Mara nodded "I'll take her there"
Manes patted Mara's shoulder "let me take her there... You check out another temple like you said before", "don't let me just be sure the rest of the temple is safe"
"so far from where do you know?", "all the abyss has been destroyed I'm sure all is well" Mara and Manes begin to argue over who should take Aldric's body to the medical room at the town hall.
"hey you two, let me just you guys must be tired of fighting earlier right ? I'm still fit to just shoot a few bullets so let me just take Aldric there" Kelly said, trying to make a middle choice.
""no !"" mara and Manes shouted and now the three of them were arguing over who should take him to the medical room but suddenly they heard the sound of the temple door opening and closing and Aldric's body was gone "eh ?"
One cleric explains "um-... Uh.... He's been brought in by his escort... Don't be afraid he's trusted so you can check out the remaining 3 temples right ?"
Mara with a disappointed expression inside her helmet "yes I'm leaving now", Manes muttered "shit he got kidnapped" Kelly sighed before realizing she was clearly doubtful to the two of them she was afraid to create an image that she cared too much for Aldric and hurt Mara's feelings.
They went to the rest of the temple and Vermut took Aldric by piggyback ride, Astra, Aradia, king, Credric, Celestia, and so on, and Seraphina entered the gate after making sure outside the situation was safe and they were surprised by the moral state of the fortress being so high and they questioned the situation to Kali, who was the one who was in the first place, and surprised by Aldric's circumstances but they are also relieved the rest of the heroes came to check.
Aradia walked among the troops and asked the guards there she asked them continuously to different people and the question was always the same 'what did Aldric do during the attack' and the answers were varied but the point remained the same Aldric fought on their side until the battle was over.
Aradia then saw the catapult that was about to be pushed somewhere "what is this contraction" he asked the leier troops "ah... Mr. Aldric named it catapult... I don't know when he made this or how... Actually it's been from last week and this is just part of the prototype... Not yet finished"
"...! Really ? But this was really effective in battle" the soldier nodded "whether what lord Aldric would do with this catapult to make it more effective but I'm sure it would be surprising... She was filled with surprises" Aradia nodded.
Not long ago Aradia came towards Astra and the king who was discussing something "lord Allen I have got a witness from your youngest son's army and I would like to ask... Would you like us to take him to the Celestial world to be honored ?" The king looked surprised "!!! What do you mean ?" Aradia looked towards the catapult and the Aldric troops who were tidying up the chaos.
"just ask them or see the re-creation later in the celestial world, Dawnbreaker where is Radiant?", "he comes home first" Aradia said "then we go too come on", "eh ?... This fast ?" Aradia looks confused "hm ? What are you doing here?", "nothing" they flew to give the goddesses good news.
