The battlefield was already a graveyard.
The twelve Paladins with their appointments and units had reached their designated empires and kingdoms. Some had gone to the Spade Kingdom, the Leaf Kingdom, and the other kingdoms across every continent. The Holy Empire had deployed Paladin regiments and their artillery everywhere.
But the situation was worse than they could have imagined.
The Holy Knights who had been sent before had many of them killed or were struggling against the monsters. Dead bodies were spread like someone had poured out rice in many places. There was not even a place to stand because the roads and lanes were filled with dead bodies. Those who were lucky enough were safe in the bunkers, and the defense orbs that had been mass-produced in the magic towers of Presia and Ephor kept them safe. The orbs had been sent to every kingdom and empire with the help of the Holy Empire.
The knights were getting frustrated because they were seeing their partners getting killed in front of them. Some were eaten alive. Some were eaten while they were struggling to run. Some bodies had half parts missing. Some had only hands left. Some only had the upper body. It was the most brutal scene they were witnessing.
Some of the knights were shouting and crying.
"Has Goddess Aria left us to die like this? Where is the so-called Warherald? Her chosen warrior? Why is he not stopping these monsters? Why?!"
They rampaged. They jumped to kill the monsters. But the monsters were just toying with them plucking every body part one by one. First the right hand, then the leg, and like this, the whole body.
The Holy Knights were also struggling. The Holy Knights Artillery Division was giving their all by firing the holy ballista known to be the most powerful weapon the Holy Empire had. But it was just tickling the monsters.
As soon as the Holy Paladin of the 12th Regiment arrived in the Spade Kingdom his name was Nicholas Jade, a powerful spear user of the Holy Knights he couldn't believe his eyes what he was witnessing. He had just one word in his heart.
What the hell is this?
Goddess Aria, how can we fight these monsters?
Then he saw a monster roaming. It was massive a towering behemoth of twisted flesh and bone, its body covered in jagged plates of obsidian armor. Its limbs were too long, too many, each one ending in a claw that could tear through steel like paper. Its face had no eyes just a gaping maw filled with rows of serrated teeth, dripping with saliva. From its back, tendrils of dark mana coiled like serpents, pulsing with malevolent energy.
The monster ran towards the arrived knights. A Holy Knight came forward to kill it, but the monster just poked him in the stomach. The knight's stomach got a hole, and he died on the spot.
The Holy Knights started running for their lives. It was hard for even them. With every minute and second passing, the kingdoms and empires were filled with just monsters not humans. Only monsters who were killing and eating humans.
As all this went on, a warning started from the Shadow System to Roman.
Warherald. The situation is going bad. Don't hold back. You have to use the Fallen God's Blessing now, Or else and it stopped.
It just stopped.
The warning confused Roman. It depressed him. It made him think what the hell is going to happen now?
He shouted in panic.
"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING TO HAPPEN?!"
