Atlas: Lightning From The Wild West
46: WAR

WARFARE

Indra had intended to go to the Northern Region to meet with Avalance, for now he had not thought about the Necromancers because he knew. He is still no match for Monter. The Necromancers did not seem to be leaving the Southern Region any time soon either.

Therefore, he intended to ask Avalance to train him. However, because it was midnight. Indra had nowhere to rent any vehicle, forced to walk for several days.

Thankfully, after walking for 14 hours Indra found a horse carriage belonging to a merchant. Indra asked for a ride that was certainly not free, the merchant agreed to it because he happened to also go to the Northern Region. Despite having a ride, Indra will still arrive in the Northern Territory at midnight.

Long story short, Indra and the merchant finally arrived at one of the cities in the Northern Region, in the city of Nacht located under the cliff. Thousands of troops were fighting against an army that seemed to be from the Southern Region.

"Sir, we'd better get going" said the Merchant.

Indra jumped from the carriage and threw a bag of gold at him.

"I have reached my destination, just take the rest" Indra replied who immediately ran to the place.

The troops who were fighting there looked different from the troops guarding Avalance Castle a while ago. These soldiers looked much more formidable, whereas the troops from the Southern Region were not inferior to them.

While Indra was confused by the atmosphere of the place, Tiana came to bring some residents with her.

"Mr Indra .. Mr Indra!!" Said Tiana who immediately approached Indra.

"What's going on, Tiana?" Ask Indra.

"There's no time to explain, sir. We beg you to help Lord Avalance!! He had been surrounded by the southern army!!" tiana replied grumbling while prostrating in front of Indra.

"Only a group of people like them was no match for Avalance. Stand up!" Reply Indra.

"No, Mr. Indra. He was not just surrounded by them. However, Ignis and all his best men were also there besieging Lord Avalance" said Tiana who was still prostrating.

Indra pulled Tiana's arm to tell her to stand up. It was the first time someone had prostrated himself to beg him.

"Is there only her own in that castle?" Ask Indra.

"Only he and the Commander of the Army are there, the rest are enemies" Tiana replied.

"Alright, you just focus on evacuating the people. Leave everything to me" Indra said.

Along with Indra's words, black clouds filled the sky. Indra flicked his finger and thousands of lightning bolts struck simultaneously. All of the lightning struck all of the southern forces at once without any noise. Tiana who saw it herself could not say anything.

"Send them to help another city. Now I will go to Avalance Castle" said Indra who immediately ran towards Avalance Castle.

After a while, Indra was finally able to see Avalance Castle. Sure enough, all directions from the Castle were already surrounded by many troops. Indra can also feel his father's air inside the castle. Around the Castle, black clouds had appeared filling the sky around the Castle.

Indra felt the air of Avalance and Ignis in the throne room. Before he went there, the black clouds in the sky became increasingly dense. Indra raised his palm and right then and there on the entire periphery of the black clouds it had appeared a lightning bolt that formed a cage. Indra then closed his palm and pulled it down, then the cage began to constrict itself, all the enemy troops looked frantically at the sight of Indra's Thunder Cage.

In the throne room, Avalance who was sitting on his magnificent throne was talking to Ignis who brought 9 trusted people including Ignael and Iglea. Avalance only brought one person.

The throne room was very magnificent, the throne chair made of gold looked very majestic combined with glass with beautiful carvings behind it.

"This is definitely a declaration of war" Avalance said.

"You're lucky, your main army just returned. If it's not possible you won't have a fight" Ignis replied.

"DON'T UNDERESTIMATE LORD AVALANCE!!" Shouted someone beside the throne of Avalance. The man seemed to have great respect for Avalance.

"That's enough, Zast. Arguing with him at this time will not change our situation" Avalance replied.

"You will let me live if you surrender the Northern Territory without a fight" Ignis said.

"No way, Ignis. You better step over my corpse" Avalance replied that immediately stood up from his throne, Zast who was beside him also looked ready to fight with his sword that had been released from the beginning.

"Don't tell me I didn't give you a chance, Avalance. You should keep in mind that you will never win against me in the past" Ignis said.

"I'm not who I was" Avalance replied.

Both sides were prepared to fight, Avalance was outnumbered and Ignis had no idea what was happening outside because the room was closed.

Before everyone prepared to fight, a light flashed and something suddenly shattered the glass behind the Avalance throne in pieces, everyone inside looking at the Thunder Cage that had already sealed them off. Even Avalance and Ignis were surprised to see the lightning that did not disappear after the strike.

Indra then emerged from the broken glass by holding the Storm Catcher which was filled with lightning. Ignis and Avalance realized something different from Indra. They realized that the blood of the devil had flowed in Indra.

"Sorry, uncle. However, it looks like your castle will be destroyed" Indra said casually.

"Truly an interesting boy, actually without you here even this place would be destroyed" Avalance replied.

"Avalance, so you even called for help" Ignis said.

"Just relax, I came by chance. You also can't possibly be afraid of a boy, father" Indra replied.

7 the man standing behind Ignis was upset by Indra's words and was about to approach him. However, Ignael and Iglea held them back because they both knew that the only people who excelled from Indra in the room were Ignis and Avalance.

Indra then unceremoniously threw down the lightning absorbed by his sword towards Ignis and his 9 subordinates.

Ignis quickly jumped up, while his subordinates were successfully charged by Indra. The fight has already begun.
