Endless Winter's
Chapter 3: The Fault

From the west side, it was clear that the Undead army was already lined up and ready to attack. There were about 1,000 Undead and two Undead army commanders.

Not wanting to linger, the five heroes including Aris directly attacked the Undead.

"Yeah...Justice Slash's! Shouted Akemi who slashed all the Undead before her.

Others don't want to lose either...

"Fire Ball!" The attack from Akane crushed the Undead in front of him.

"Piercing Arrows!" A powerful attack from Riyo that pierced through the back row of the Undead.

"Why did they mention the name of their own attack? Let the enemy know?" Said Aris who was astonished to see from afar.

However, the purple-haired girl just kept quiet, and did not help her struggling friend.

"Hey, your name is Hinata, right? Why don't you help them?" Aris said to Hinata.

"They don't need me, they can do it themselves." Bad answer from Hinata.

"Hey, Slave! I need ammo!" Shouted Riyo who ran out of arrows.

"Think fast, gray man!" Said Aris who threw the ammunition hard.

"Awwww...! Damn slaves!!!" Riyo was angry after being hit by a throw.

"Huhaha...!" Laughter Aris.

When the Undead were about to perish, their commander appeared who entered the Battlefield.

"I saw their new commander appear! This is my chance!" Akemi said with big ambitions.

"Akemi don't!" Banned Akane.

Akemi paid no heed to the surroundings, her gaze fixed on someone who looked like a witch by raising both of her hands like casting a spell.

As Akemi approaches, the Commander finishes the spell and a huge fireball appears, but this is very different from the others.

Too late! Even though Akemi was aware of it and was able to avoid it, the fireball seemed to have a mind of its own. The fireball turned and hit Akemi from behind.

Akemi's body burned violently, and thrashed the heat on the ground. It was fortunate that the original hero had come and swiftly saved Akemi by putting out the flames all over her body.

"You okay?" Ask the Hero.

"Yes, I'm fine." Answer the limp Akemi.

Then, the hero took Akemi to safety with incredible speed.

"Ninu... The medical team is coming!" Said Aris who was followed by Hinata from behind.

Aris gave Akemi healing potions, painkillers, and bandages.

"You're such a fool! You're too rash to make a decision. It's like this. Fortunately, it survived!" Advice from Aris.

"I don't need any slave advice from you!" Akemi looks angry.

Meanwhile, the conditions of the battlefield were starting to heat up...

"How could he cast such a controllable fireball spell?" Akane was astonished.

"Miss, you didn't know that he was one of the demon commanders, the Abyss Pyromanchers! The fireball that was released was not magic, but rather Fire Wraith." Explanation of the original hero.

"Oh so..."

"Sir, are you a real hero?" Ask Chika.

"Yes right, I was a hero long before you guys showed up. My name is Cleive!"

They were too busy conversing, until they did not realize that a new demon commander had appeared.

"Ah...that!" Said Cleive who was suddenly frightened.

"Why Cleive?" Ask everyone who is confused.

"I~tu it was the demon commander who had been defeated first. No one could match him at that time other than Hero Alex of Vigilo. Abysswalker has reappeared!"

"If anyone ever beats him, maybe we can too." Said the arrogant Riyo.

"Don't be silly of you! Don't you repeat the snot boy's act!" Cleive said scolding Riyo.

"If you do not resist, the kingdom of Venzonia will be destroyed! Do you want this to happen the same as Vigilo?" Akane Assert.

"If you don't want to come, it doesn't matter!" Said Chika who was preparing to fight.

"Initially it came with a cool and epic scene, now it's even fuzzy with fear. What kind of hero is that?" Syndic Riyo.

"You guys are so stupid! Better just run away from me, than die silly!" Said Cleive leaving the Battlefield.

_______----------_______---------______

"You can't fight anymore! You're not fully recovered!" Hinata's words forbid Akemi.

"A bad girl like you knows what it is about being willing to sacrifice?" Akemi's heart-wrenching words to Hinata.

"Rather than you stay here, you better come with me to bet your life! This is an order!" Akemi's speech activates the command magic from the necklace that Aris wore.

Aris was forced to advance to the battlefield with makeshift weaponry. He only carried one arm-sized sword.

"Let's go ahead and attack him! This is an order!" The order once again from Akemi.

"Sih...it's a hassle, boy!" Inner Aris.

Aris went straight to attack the Abysswalker without any plan. However, the Abysswalker did not just stand still. A small burning sword started to appear behind him.

Aris was hit by so many attacks that he fell to the ground.

"Aaaargh... This first time I felt pain!" In Aris's mind.

Seeing that, the heroes undo their intention to attack the Abysswalker. Then, the Abysswalker started attacking using its ultimate attack.

All the flames on his body, and the flames from the Abyss Pyromanchers were also concentrated on his greatsword. When fully charged, the size increases and the attack power also becomes strong, then he immediately took a plan to smash and earth scorched everything in front of him.

Aris who was near the Abysswalker also burned all over his body. He felt an incredible heat, the skin covering him chipped out revealing his true form.

"Jlee....!" Aris who got up then pierced the Abysswalker's hard armor using only his hands.

At that time, Aris's form was no longer human, but a killing machine that would be ready to destroy anything that stood in his way.

Then proceed with breaking the Abysswalker's protective helmet. His steel hands pierced through the helmet and pierced the brain, killing the Abysswalker instantly.

After finishing the affair with the Abysswalker, it was now the turn of the Abyss Pyromanchers. Previously, the hand of the Abyss Pyromanchers raised which showed fighting mode, was now lowered and chose to flee using Teleport magic.

The others could not see Aris' action because of the thick smoke from the Abysswalker fire.

"Lohs... It's not hot anymore! The smoke is also thinning!" Akemi.

"Yes, that great fire scared me half to death, like hell!" Said Chika who was creeped out in fear.

"Let's find that boy!" Riyo.

They saw that Aris, who was once thought to be a mere slave, was now a terrifying bundle of steel.

"That's Aris, right? How is it so different?" Akemi asked her trembling body

"I think it was him. However, his gaze was more intimidating than before!" Said Riyo who was starting to get scared and nervous.

"Look! He's coming towards us!" Akane said as she pointed in the wrong direction so nervous.

The step by step that he pitched made the hearts of the heroes beat even faster. The sound of engine friction and ground pounding added to the killing aura. The look of both eyes is red which indicates you will be the next target.

Now Aris was already right in front of the five teenagers. The necklace he was wearing was miraculously not burnt at the time, but it was easily broken and crushed.

"A-a-a-b.... Forgive us! Please forgive us! Don't kill us!" Suddenly Akemi prostrates and begs for mercy.

"Yes! We also ask forgiveness from you! Please don't kill us!" The others are the same.

"Eh...? Why on the bow of these boys? I'm just showing you my little trick, Lo!" Inner Aris.

"We'll do whatever you want! Most importantly don't kill us!"

"Oh so apparently, then I just want my clothes back! That's all I want!" Ask Aris.

"Yes.... We'll return your clothes! We promise!"

"Yes good!"

They stood up and wanted to take Aris back to Venzonia Kingdom.

"Wait a minute...!" Shouted Aris in a high tone.

"Haaa.... " They're both scared.

"Don't let your mouth leak my true identity! If that happens, I will hunt you down one by one!" Said Aris in a threatening tone.

"Yes, we understand! We'll sew our mouths up if it's necessary!" Akemi said she was nervous

"Ah.. that's not necessary!"
