Chapter 444 – Mega War (7) : Backstabbing
Mazikeen got serious the moment she tied her hair back. She knew she did not have to Last very long in this fight , hence started to dish out the very best moves in her a.r.s.enal right from the get-go completely disregarding her stamina.
It was an a constant bombardment of tier 4 spells as the entire terrain changed its looks only after 1 minute of her getting started . There were no trees left for miles as the shockwaves cut them in half and splintered them into pieces. While Cervantez was forced on the backfoot just trying to defend.
Aman was in a worse position as he could only survive because Cervantez was blocking most of the attacks for him , else he would be minced meat within seconds .
Although he tried to conjure some spells , he found out that it was lucky enough for him to hide behind his father"s back and be alive. Asking anymore in this fight between tier 5 powerhouses , he was out of his league.
In terms of strength , Cervantez was above Mazikeen , and Mazikeen knew it too. As she could only ascend to tier 5 because of the help of the dark lord . Otherwise with her potential she would have never been tier 5. Hence compared to Cervantez , the genuinely self ascended tier 5 existance , she was nothing.
Even though burning with hatred for the Hazelgroove Royal family for all the suffering she had under their imprisonment. She did not try and attack the kingdom without thought the moment she got free , because she was afraid of Cervantez and the fact that she was not as strong as he was.
But when the prophet a.s.sured the dark lord of the future to come . The vision of blood and carnage of one of the pillars of the light faction , Hazelgroove kingdom and a chance to regain a portion of his supressed powers. Lucifer decided to intervene.
Not only giving Mazikeen and incredible force to challenge the city with . He Mazikeen the capability to conjure a portion of his consciousness into a vessel. Lucifer feared Cervantez and his continued rise in strength and wanted to deal with him at all costs.
Knowing that Mazikeen would fall short , he gave her the opportunity to claim revenge by summoning him to the battlefield. Yet the requirements for the vessel who could hold Lucifer"s soul were very high. And only someone devoid of vitality , and someone whose soul was already on the verge of death was someone who could hold Lucifer.
Hence a necromancer….. Which the prophet prophesized to be prince aman. Lucifer had told Mazikeen before he dispatched her to this war , to construct the tower soo that he could keep an eye on the battle , and wait for prince Aman to show up , after that Mazikeen had to somehow create seperation between Cervantez and Aman and get him to the base of the eye of Lucifer.
That"s her only job , apparently Lucifer would do the rest.
Long ago in the first great war between the forces of darkness lead by Mazikeen and the first Emperor , it was Mazikeen who tried to become a vessel for Lucifer , but the impure lower birth demon was not a suitable vessel for Lucifer who could only excert very little of his strength in her body.
The true reason of Lucifer wanting to descend to the battlefield personally was unknown. Although it seemed like he wanted to avenge the humiliation and suffering of his subject . Anyone who knew Lucifer knew that he was not that type of person , and that he would never do anything that did not profit him.
And that was indeed the case….. As Lucifer eyed Aman , and a seemingly una.s.suming NPC fighting a battle on the battlefield ….. One son of the archangel sariel with divine blood flowing through his veins…..

( Meanwhile on the battlefield )
Rudra had extended his spear of influence to 200 meters , as he had largely regained some form of order on the battlefield with the enemy and undead Line clear from ally line , causing the archers to work at full capacity slaying thousands of troops every second.
Rudra was very satisfied with his work , as he could see the tier 4 paladins from the church and Patricia doing their jobs well in pus.h.i.+ng the enemy back. However then suddenly out of nowhere 10 tier 4 generals joined the fight from the side of forces of darkness , largely equalising the situation , making the fight go into stalemate as the forces of darkness regained some momentum of the battle.
If one would take a moment and a.n.a.lyse the battlefield they would see millions dead , and the entire battlefield dyed red with blood … Cut off limbs being littered all across as the air smelled like iron.
Why was this war being fought ? And who was it benefitting? It were all questions that would surely brainfreeze any sane man trying to think the answer behind it.
But the real answer to it would be undoubtedly the blood merchant organization , and the ma.s.sive eye towering the battlefield. Only they were winning this war , irrespective of who died.
This organisation had everything planned , right from the start , however for some reason or the other their plans kept getting foiled , causing their hostile takeover of the country to fail everytime they tried.
Their plan to keep Aman on the throne as a puppet ruler and slowly change him into a vessel of the dark lord , completely penetrating the heart of the light faction Empire failed when he was exiled from the country and Cervantez came back in power.
But why was the blood merchant organization soo active in Hazelgroove kingdom? And why were they soo interested in this piece of land? Soo much soo that Lucifer had to scheme behind the scenes and be soo heavily involved ?
Just what was the history between himself and Hazelgroove?
