Chapter 377: The War Is Over
Woz's voice wasn't loud, but it seemed to ring in everyone's ears.
Everyone was silent, and even the companions around Woz subconsciously retreated, instinctively avoiding the danger of their lives.
"Ahem, ahem......" Woz covered his mouth and coughed violently, spitting out the blood in his chest, and asked again in a hoarse voice, "I ask you, what are you!"
"Traitor! We are Judas the Betrayer!"
In the pool of blood at Woz's feet, a large blood mist suddenly rose and turned into a dense cloud of ghosts. Forty-nine fanatics roared, as if there was thunder in the flat ground!
The tens of thousands of troops of the enemy on the opposite side suddenly found themselves unable to take a single step forward, and all of them seemed to be frozen in their bodiesβthey were all dominated by fear and despair from the depths of their souls.
With a cruel smile, Woz struggled to straighten up and look forward. Because of the large number of enemies in front of him, he had no scruples and wantonly unleashed all the power of the "fanatic believers", setting off a monstrous wave of blood and bringing endless killing!
Forty-nine fanatics, bathed in the blood of the infidels, shouted with joy, chanted the music of the Bible, and chanted His name.
The crimson wave spread forward at an alarming rate, engulfing most of the city in the blink of an eye. The legions of the Albarez Empire are completely overwhelmed!
The blood-colored half of the city was reduced to hell in an instant, showing the world the purest form of slaughter. There, thousands of human beings abandoned all resistance, as if they were killed "willingly". Although their bodies trembled uncontrollably, their faces showed the crazy joy of fanatics, almost jubilantly welcoming death.
A huge army of 100,000 people disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye under the terrifying magic of Woz......
No one dared to approach Wox at this time, and even though no fanatical believer turned back to attack his own people under the strong will of Woz, the instinctive fear in people's hearts still prevented them from approaching the man who had become the "Grim Reaper".
Halfway through the incantation, Woz almost uttered a mouthful of blood - the power of magic came at an equally high price.
The cost of blood magic is blood, in other words, the soul of the magician, Woz, who is overdrawing his life force to keep the spell going.
β¦β¦
"Until...... The day of revelation is over!"
Draining the last shred of power, Woz ended his spellcasting.
The fanatics raised their heads to the sky and let out unwilling screams, turning into a thick mist of blood and rolling back into Woz's body.
The bitter cold wind blew through Harugion, and the smell of blood was so strong that people were so excited that they seemed to have just woken up from a nightmare.
There was a dead silence in the city, and there was no other "noise" except for the breathing and heartbeat of more than a hundred of them.
In front of them, wide streets were covered with the corpses of enemy soldiers. Each corpse was described as a mummy, and it didn't look like it had just died.
Their blood was drawn and sprinkled on the ground, walls, and roofs...... Half the city is stained with blood!
Woz looked at the scene in front of him indifferently, and turned his head slightly to look in the direction of the port.
There and beyond were more enemy troops. But when Woz's eyes swept to this side, the remaining half of the fleet on the sea suddenly pulled anchor and set sail, fleeing into the distance without looking back.
The Albarez Empire withdraws.
Since then, the huge war led by the Twelve Shields can finally be declared over. Albarez, a magical military empire that dominates the world and unifies the entire Western Continent, has declared a complete defeat.
β¦β¦
When he woke up again, Woz found himself lying in a hospital bed. Without opening his eyes, Woz knew he was lying in the guild's infirmary, based on the bitter scent of the disinfectant and the bitter scent of Mr. Polygica's special potion.
After unleashing the Curse of the Zealot to slaughter the entire enemy landing legion and scare off the sea army, memories of this are somewhat blurred. That's when I passed out, right?
I don't know what the situation is now...... Woz was still a little worried. Defeating the invasion of the Albarez Empire doesn't mean the battle is over β at least for me.
The Black Dragon King, Jelf, the chess player, and the ultimate god...... The game is far from over, at most it can only be regarded as the middle game.
"Hopefully I'll not be in a coma for long......" Woz muttered softly, opening his eyes and getting ready to go.
"Rest assured, it's just nightfall, and you've only slept for one afternoon. Mira Jeanne sat on the edge of the bed and looked at him tenderly.
Woz wasn't surprised by this, but after a little hesitation, he asked, "Your injury...... Are you alright?"
"Of course, Woz underestimated the healing power of Satan's spirits!" Mira Jenny said with an angry expression, "Besides, Woz, you don't want Akunorolia to really hurt me, right?"
The clever girl of Bingxue had already seen through Woz's little moves, and she couldn't help but feel a little indignant in her heart: "I said a long time ago that I would fight side by side with you, and I was not allowed to leave me in any way!"
"It's different...... Woz shook his head, "From now on, I'm facing an enemy on another level entirely. β
"But that's what I'm fighting for, isn't it?" said Mira Jeanne, "I'm your only pawn...... The Opponent Lord. β
Woz smiled wryly and shook his head, "Whatever you want." But you still have to make it a priority to protect yourself. I believe I can handle everything, I don't want to be victorious and have no one to share that joy. β
Mira Jenny smiled happily and went up to hug Woz with open arms.
"Woz, you liar!" Mila Jenny whispered in Woz's ear, "you'd leave me alone to fight, wouldn't you?" because you'd rather let me get hurt than let me join you." β
"But with my legs on my own, you can't stop me from doing anything. The silver-haired girl laughed slyly, "There's no way you're going to stop me, Woz, and you're reluctant to really hurt me." β
Then, she heard Woz sigh helplessly.
After a brief rest, the two left the infirmary and went downstairs into the hall.
The guild was full of cups and plates, and at a glance you knew that they had just hosted a victory party.
Although many people died in the war, the dreary and mournful atmosphere was never the main theme of the guild. As long as everyone gathers, even the funeral is a lively and lively carnival - only later, when they go to the grave of their companion alone to mourn, will the elves release all their grief.
For Fairy Tail, being alive is more important than anything else. Isn't the so-called guild a place where everyone can live better?
As a member of Fairy Tail, Woz was well aware of this custom of the guild, so he wasn't surprised.
But at the moment, everyone's atmosphere is a little different. It is not like the joy that follows the victory in the great war, nor the sadness of the departure of a companion. More than that, it's a kind of confusion and trepidation......
"What's wrong with all of you?" Waz asked, "Is there anything else in this world that can be feared by you?"
"Hmph, that's arrogant. Erin commented disdainfully, blending in with the crowd wearing a magical restraint, with Elusa and Brantish watching from the sidelines.
Erin sneered and said, "There really is nothing more terrible in this world. What is scary is the world itself...... Our world is about to be destroyed!"
General Makarov gulped down his wine and said drunkly: "Now Akunorolia is gradually destroying the world, and two principalities have been razed to the ground. It is believed that it will not be long before the entire continent of Ishgar will fall. β
Future Lucy went on to add: "It's not the scariest thing. What's really bad is that the black dragon is nothing more than a tool to destroy the world. The one who really wants to destroy the world of Aslant is none other than our god, Ankselam. The God who created us does not love her children!"
Waz looked at her and asked, "That god, is ...... Right?"
Woz had guessed the true identity of the "god", but the power of the god itself prevented him from saying that name. Or rather, Wox said the name, but no one could hear it.
But Lucy in the future knows what Woz wants to say. A pair of bright eyes looked at Woz carefully and nodded earnestly.
Woz suddenly laughed and walked over to pat her on the head, and Lucy sat down and looked up at him in surprise.
"Don't worry, she won't really ruin this world. Wodds affirmed, "...... As long as you can beat her in a chess game, you'll be fine. β
