The moment the gate broke, it did not simply fall—it exploded inward.
Iron bars twisted like paper. Wood splintered into a storm of shards. And from the cloud of dust and screams, they came.
Not beasts.
Monstrosities.
Bears the size of houses, their muscles writhing beneath torn flesh. Wolves with elongated limbs and jaws that split far too wide, dripping with blackened saliva. Their eyes glowed with a sick, corrupted hunger—as if something inside them was still alive... and suffering.
The first roar drowned the battlefield.
Then came the slaughter.
-----------------------
The royal guards charged, unsheathing their swords and coating them with their mana. They marched forward.
But they didn't stand chance ~ A wolf-like beast lunged—too fast. Its jaws snapped shut around a soldier's torso. A scream came but it didn't last long.
"Aghhh.!"
A crunch echoed and then the upper half of man vanished. Blood sprayed like a rain. Man was cut in half like how Gojo died in JJK~ one half down and other in the beast mouth.
Another guard struck a bear's leg—his blade shattered on impact. The beast didn't even flinch. It raised its paw and brought it down.
The man becomes nothing more than crushed armour. His flesh smeared into dust and his blood splashed onto the streets of Rigour town.
Screams filled the air. Blood fells like a rain and fleshes were teared like a paper by those beasts.
The hope was filled with despair.
------------------------
"Agah..., let's go", A voice cut through the chaos. The scream, the despair.
Eren steeped forward like a messiah.
"Blessed authority < Divine armour>", He spoke in a low voice.
and moment he spoke a radiant plates started forming over him like a living god of war, more like a warrior.
A beast lunged. Its jaws clamped onto his arm.
But~
But he didn't react.
Silence spread for a moment and then he narrowed his eyes and with his free hands, he drew his blade, drove it upward, slicing through the beast's skull from jaw to crown. The creature's head split open, its body collapsing as Eren tore his arm free, drenched in blood.
Besides him, Oryn moved like a phantom.
The true hater of a curse child moves as he slashed beast one by one by his sword. It was just a one slash and then~
"Blessed authority < blood explode>", He said and then through the slashes the beasts explode spraying the blood more and their lungs, small intestine, liver flew in every direction.
Truly disgusting but he didn't stop.
He moves and moves slashing more and more. His cheeks, his forehead, his clothes covered with blood. The smell of blood hovered from him as he kept his pace slashing the beasts and exploding them.
-------------
Lisa moves.
"Shit... disgusting creature.", She spoke as she makes an expression which normal human make when they smell something dirty, but her expression was not the only thing.
Her white angelic or to be said her devilish white eyes glowed as mana starting surged around her. Her advanced mana possession twisted the air itself.
The bear like beast charged at her~
But it never reached. The space around it crushed inward
, bones snapping, flesh folding unnaturally as if the world itself rejected its existence and with a flick of her hand—
the beast shattered into pieces.
" Blessed authority
His gaze moved ahead of time itself. He steeped just as wolf appeared where he had been.
The Stok vanished in a instant or to be said he went in blind spot. His blade flashed once, precisely where the beast would be.
The creature ran straight into its own death, its head severed before it even understood what happened.
"Oh shit... You are predictable", He smiled as he slashed through the beast.
A true power of an angelic soldier, not just a royal guard.
Then~
Draves steeped in chaos.
In his front stood many beasts glaring at him as their prey but little they know he was a hunter.
"Blessed authority", He spoke.
And then as he looks forward his eyes change. His vison change. At his front remains a line which was only visible to him. An indivisible thread passing through the beast showing trajectory of how he can slash through them perfectly.
Cutting through their flesh.
Cutting through their atom.
Cutting through their time itself.
Cutting through their existence within the universe.
And then he marched blinking his eyes for one second, he stood looking towards his sword which was cover in blood. He gazes towards his hands in red.
He turned back and saw the beast who were glaring at him just a moment ago vanished. Some were lying but their body parts were missing like some beast heads, Legs and upper- lower parts were missing.
Their guts, their torso, their small intestine spilled onto the ground like a leftover food.
--------------------
"Sir Draves", A guard came. "Please handle the monster which are outside. We will handle the monster inside.", He said as a advice to Draves and he agreed.
Draves stepped outside the gate. Following him came Lisa, Oryn, Eren and Stok.
They were silent but their thinking was same.
Where is that beast of corruption.
Where is that motherfucker...,
Their thought was somehow aligned.
At front of them marching a large amount of beast and in a moment they stood.
In moment, it emerges.
A colossal serpent, its body forcing its way out of the earth in a violent eruption. Scales the colour of rotting iron scraped against stone, each movement producing a shriek that pierced the ears. Its sheer size eclipsed the battlefield, its coiling body stretching endlessly beneath the ground.
But it wasn't the body that froze them.
It was the mouth.
The serpent head rose.
Unfolded to eat everything alive.
Layer after layer peeled apart, revealing a nightmarish structure of interlocking jaws, more than a creature should possess. Rows of teeth spiralled inward, grinding and shifting like living machinery, dripping with thick, black saliva that burned the earth on contact.
It emerges opening his mouth.
"What the heck is this!!!", Lisa screamed as she saw a mouth of a beast opened to eat them as they flew upward and it pushed itself forward to cover all of the Arcanists to...
To eat them alive with their blood... With their flesh... With their mass...
