BXBX NOVEL Chapter 160: Commander Of The Valkyrie
Despite not saying anything, there was palpable tension in the air. In the trajectory of their gaze, nothing could be seen, only the severely destroyed landscape.
Just then, the loud, thunderous sound of hooves pounding on the ground broke the silence.
"It's coming, Commander!" a blonde-haired woman announced, her eyes filled with burning resolve, her voice filled with determination.
"It seems their entire army has decided to arrive," another woman commented, her fingers drumming against her thighs. She looked at the confident back of the one known as the Commander with a spark of reverence in her eyes.
An army that had brought down several cities and nations was approaching, yet there wasn't even a semblance of fear. Her posture was as straight as a sword.
The Commander stood at the forefront of the army of over 500. Just like the others, the woman possessed a fit build, chiseled for battle, yet it didn't hinder her beautifully endowed curves that couldn't be hidden by her black armor. Her raven hair whipped about her face, and her beautiful dark eyes, far darker than normal, burned with an inner flame.
In her grasp was a sword whose blade glinted under the glare of the sun.
The Commander gripped the hilt of her sword firmly and shouted in a commanding voice that easily cut through the noise generated by the approaching hooves.
"Formation!"
As soon as the order was given, the army scattered and reformed into a majestic curved line, resembling a crimson moon with the Commander at its center. The heavy infantry, clad in dark-steel armor, formed a shield wall, their long spears and swords at the ready.
The strong gust of wind generated by the approaching beast horde caused their hair to whip about their faces.
At the middle of the formation, the Commander's eyes flashed sharply as she grasped her sword firmly. Its blade, etched with runes, shimmered with a soft lunar glow. Soon, the enemy's army was reflected in her dark eyes.
Contrary to their expectations, it was no army.
But a single entity.
Immediately upon seeing this entity, the women felt a collective shiver down their spines and instinctively shot a glance at their Commander, whose fingers were twitching slightly.
Confusion crossed her face, and her eyes trembled. She had perfect control of her emotions, as displayed since the beginning, but this was an entity that was far beyond their league.
The entity was a monstrous wolf, over 5 meters tall. Its fur was dark, and its eyes blazed with an otherworldly glow. The wolf's massive paws glowed with faint light as it approached the now-trembling army.
This beast was none other than the Apocalyptic Wolf!
They had initially prepared to face its army. Who would have thought the leader would come to the battlefield himself? A beast that was just one rank away from Sovereign Tier!
Under the menacing presence of the Apocalyptic Wolf, the brave warriors were beginning to falter, their faces filled with uncertainty because their Commander had yet to give any command or make any move.
Sensing the unease, the Commander turned to her subordinates. Her black eyes seemed to peer into the soul of everyone as she said in a loud voice:
"We have two options." She stated, returning her gaze to the approaching monster. "Run back like cowards or weaken the creature before our sisters arrive."
Everyone listened intently, the uncertainty slowly fading from their faces.
The Commander nodded in satisfaction, a rare smile curling up on her lips as her eyes burned intensely. Without them saying anything, the Commander could already tell where they stood in this fight.
Then she raised her sword and shouted in a booming voice:
"Valkyries, hear me! Today we fight, not just for victory, but for our right! To protect our realm, our people dear, we'll face the darkness, and banish fear!"
The Commander's words were like a highly intoxicating drug… from her speech alone, everybody felt their blood boiling. The uncertainty completely faded from their faces.
Now, Death strangely seemed enticing.
Badump! Badump! Badump!
Countless hearts beat in unison, and the warriors raised their weapons to the heavens and roared in a booming voice:
"SKÅL! SKÅL! For Goddess Aurora! For the Valkyries! We'll conquer darkness, with hearts full of pride! SKÅL!
SKÅL! For honor! For glory! We'll stand as one until victory's story!"
The collective voice struck fear in the Apocalyptic Wolf's heart, but it shook the fear away. A malevolent gleam returned to its eyes.
"For honor! For glory! We stand as one! Against the Devourer, our hearts are won! With steel and shield, we'll hold the line, for our sisters, our brothers, we'll make it shine!" the Commander chanted, approaching the beast, a fierce expression on her face.
"FOR VALHALLA!"
"Ahhhhhhhh!"
That single sentence was like a button that detonated the bomb, and the warriors charged in.
A few hours later…
"We failed…" The Commander staggered, a pool of blood beneath her, her armor broken in countless places. Strewn across the battlefield were her… sisters.
Yes, she was the only one left.
Though they had made up their minds to die here, the Commander still felt a pang in her heart. She glanced ahead at the creature who had single-handedly massacred her army.
The enormous beast prowled toward the Commander… with every step it took, the ground rumbled as though an ancient leviathan was approaching.
The battlefield seemed to hold its breath. The Commander locked eyes with the beast, her sword arm trembling, and her heart beating wildly. Like an unstoppable force, the beast gradually closed the distance.
It was now just 5 meters away.
Time seemed to slow down.
'All my sisters… all of them killed,' the Commander thought, her eyes, once full of sadness, now flashing with defiance as she thought back to the sacrifice of her comrades. These were people who had fought in countless battles with her.
But today, they were no more.
She was the only one left. your m,v,l,e,m,p,y,r story
Was there even a need to keep on living?
"Not like I can survive this calamity." She chuckled, a bitter look in her eyes, as she held her sword firmly in her hand. A pulsing purple glow descended from the sky and slammed into her with a thunderous sound.
The Commander's eyes became ablaze. With the sword securely placed on her shoulder, she started to stride forward, her eyes shining with an intense purple glow.
"You evil vermin, I shall cast you back to the treacherous hellhole you came from," her voice boomed in all directions as if it were the voice of a divine being about to give judgment on the mortal plane.
The giant wolf's glowing eyes flashed with a hint of fear, but this fear was only brief. The ravenous gleam returned a split second later. Saliva dripped from its mouth as it charged forward, leaving a supersonic speed trail behind it. As it disappeared, a relatively deep crater was left in its wake, plumes of smoke rising into the air.
The beast and the Commander locked eyes, and the air grew heavier. There was no fear in the Commander's eyes. She was ready to sacrifice her life to bring down this calamity that shouldn't exist.
"Die!"
With her sword glowing like a purple inferno ready to destroy the world, the Commander's blade flashed through the air. Simultaneously, the beast's claws, glowing with an eerie green light, slashed forward, ripping through the air. However, before the attacks could land, the world seemed to shatter into countless fragments.
At the same time, a beautiful girl with vibrant dark hair, neatly tied behind her, opened her mesmerizing dark eyes as she was jolted from her bed with a startled cry. Beads of sweat accumulated on her temples, and confusion crossed her delicate, beautiful features.
