The Story of the Wind Wanderer
The Dark Forces Have Arrived #143

A very remarkable natural phenomenon occurred in the Southern sky of the Zephyra region. The sky looks very dark even in the morning, with a cloud of dark gray, vertically rotating, very large and thick size standing upright in the sky with a deep center. So large was the scale of the cloud, almost the entire sky in the South was covered by darkness and storms brought by the cloud.

Just under the dark sky that was still reluctant to stop the lightning and heavy rain, saw the movement of troops numbering in the thousands who were moving towards the North. The troops were like ants when viewed from above, under black banners, and numbered so many that they touched the thousands. The soldiers in it also seemed various, or rather tended to be strange. Various kinds of creatures large and have a very terrible and disgusting shape are in the ranks of thousands of troops. Their number is also not less than many human soldiers and demons who are on land and air.

The troop's footsteps sounded very clear, and would destroy the courage and courage of anyone who heard it. Especially in the army there are large monsters with strange shapes. There was a herd of giant creatures that were tapped like dogs but had three heads and a pointed tail tip as sharp as a needle. In addition, it is also seen a collection of giant creatures with two legs and four hands, fat bodies, have one eye on the head, and have one eye on the head, and always carrying a big gun in the form of a hammer with the end of a hammer there are a lot of hot sharp iron.

Not stopping the slightest step, the large number of troops continued to move even though the raging nature seemed to be trying to stop them. Many times lightning struck to the ground, burning the hills they passed through, even had hit several companies of soldiers. But the black banner army continued to advance.

Right above those numerous black banner soldiers, a man with black armor and robe floated above them. The two irises of the black-haired man's eyes looked blue, and more beautiful and lit up with the heavy rain and storm that hit.

Astaroth looked very calm in the midst of the storm that was currently crashing. Not only crashing, the sky seemed to want to drop it with his lightning strikes many times to Astaroth's body. But all the lightning that struck was repelled very easily by a transparent shield that surrounded Asta's body.

"Nature can never stand in my way, it can never ...!" astaroth murmured with both irises of his eyes that seemed to light up.

Astaroth's two hands slowly extended forward, with both palms open as if they were about to grab something. Without casting a hint of a spell from his mouth, both of his palms slowly glowed light blue, and in an instant turned every drop of rain water around him into small-sized grains of snow and ice.

Both of Astaroth's hands were lowered again, and he closed his eyes in a few seconds. The black-haired man seemed to grin later, slowly reopening his two irises which had already turned into a fiery red color.

"Zephyra, will it be turned into a sea of snow, or a sea of fire ...?" muttered the black-haired man, continuing to float quietly above the movements of his thousands of troops. Astaroth suddenly laughed haughtily after speaking to himself, "this is interesting, very interesting!" yells.

Standing on one edge of a sharp wooden fence, King Aiden and his knight Kenan looked towards the South without concern even though his entire body was currently drenched due to the storm that never subsided. The sound of thunder did not stop blaring. The sky in the South was extremely dark, pitch black like a night sky covered by clouds. In stark contrast to the sky that is currently above the Pearl Region, it still looks gray even though it is getting darker with the intensity of the rain getting thicker.

A few seconds had passed, and the king was still silent there with a watchful gaze. As far as his eyes could see, nothing suspicious had been reported. Everything was just a dark scene and the ferocity of a very heavy storm, even to the point of cutting visibility.

King Aiden stood there with a pretty complicated feeling. Undeniably, stored enough fear in his heart just like the other soldiers. But still with his calm demeanor, he seemed not to be daunted by anything that was behind the dense storm in the South.

"Light the warning beacon, and prepare all the altusistas we have immediately ...!" the Decree of King Aiden to Kenan and Franz.

Franz immediately went to one of the towers, and gave the code to a witch who stood on top of the tower. The white-robed man up there instantly understood, instantly swung his magic wand, and ended up with a red-colored light floating above the sky.

All the soldiers in the Pearl Region could see the warning beacon. They immediately armed themselves, and immediately docked to create a lot of rows of warriors along the hills. Various weapons such as cannons, throwers, and balistas were also directly deployed filling several positions on several hills. Kenan also intervened to give instructions to the soldiers who moved all the weapons.

All the soldiers were prepared, marching gallantly, and standing along the border fence. Swords, spears, and archers were all deployed to deal with all possibilities.

"Everything is ready, Your Majesty. But the armies of the West, East, and North have not yet come. On the other hand our current number only touches about 990 warriors, and that includes the royal witches." Kenan returned to King Aiden after preparing all the war weapons, and reported it to the king.

"Our forces as well as the forces of Victoria and Lagarde are still divided, and everything is still on the way from the capital to here" continued Kenan.

The view of the king is still fixed, can not be separated to look at the South scenery is very terrible. The lightning there never ceased to strike, even to the point of creating an enormous and widening range of branches on the dark horizon and filled with storm clouds.

Not long after, slowly looks like a very large number of ants, out from behind the hills to the South. Dark forces had been spotted, and they were already tens of kilometers away from the Pearl Border. Both eyes of King Aiden can also see the existence of various large creatures, and creatures that fly above them. Everything still looks small because it is adrift by a distance that is still very far.

"But no matter what happens we have to keep fighting here, Kenan. If this border falls, then the darkness will enter Zephyra very easily," said King Aiden, ready to grasp the handle of his sword which was still hoisted hanging from his waist.
