The dark clouds in the sky started to rumble in thunder as if the G.o.ds were angry, right on cue the rain begin to fall from the sky, small bands of rain drops felt warm to Ares as he gets drenched, it's as if he is being hugged by the warmth of the heavens.
Zoilas draws his bow string back to shoot another one of his arrow.
*"Please hear my wish Ares, protect the village"*
*"My daughters can't live a day without me, I will go back to them soon and there will be no further raids from Caracus, my daughters can have a peaceful life unlike me"*
*"You guys are our responsibility, we will go to war with you"*
Ares remembers the words of Alex and Edward and the villagers rus.h.i.+ng back inside his ears as he is exhausted.
Zoilas shoots his arrow which pierced the rain drops in its way creating a path to itself into Ares.
"AARGH!!!" Ares's whole body is filled with rage, his eyes turns red and he lets out a cry as he swings his sword that is emitting green colored light.
The power released from that one swing of Ares's sword nullified the arrow that Zoilas shot, let alone the arrow the rain itself is delayed for a moment with a very strong wind released from the spot Ares is standing.
"Sni... Snipers fast!" Zoilas shouts without wasting any moment.
Another shot of lightning sniper is fired at Ares. This time the lightning traveled from cloud to cloud gathering more electricity all concentrated at one spot, above Ares. The sniper and Zoilas instantly knew that this lightning from the steel dark clouds is 10 times more ,powerful than the previous one and they are a.s.sured this will be an overkill.
Ares removes the stones from his sword's handgrip, which is covered in white cloth, the whole sword s.h.i.+nes divinely as though the soul of sword is visible.
"G.o.d arts - Heaven's a.r.s.enal" Ares utters the words calmly as the lightning drops on him.
"G.o.d Arts - Heaven's a.r.s.enal." Ares says with a calm and c.o.c.ky voice.
"~~~!"
Without a warning a spear shaped thunderbolt as if it was made of a soul appears beside Ares and goes upwards piercing through the lightning made from sniper rifle, right above Ares in an instant. The huge lightning fired by the sniper is scattered throughtout the sky which was in wrath, to fragments and even the dark smoke like clouds in the sky were scoured like dust dispersion . It was an unimaginable power, the spear is as powerful as the lightning bolt of Zeus, with enough energy to split up the earth.
It's not over yet, the katana that Ares is holding seems to be s.h.i.+ning brightly aming the bleak atmosphere while emitting pieces of soul fragments. Those soul fragments are taking the form of weapons, after a while the sword in Ares's hand disappeared completely leaving an insane amount of weapons of every kind a spear, straight sword, trident, arrows, dagger, staff, bident which is a two-p.r.o.nged version of trident, hammer, crescent axe, scythe, spiked cudgel, mace, Dacian Flax, club, javelin and many more other weapons around Ares. Glowing and aimed, seemed to be made of the soul of sword and are emitting heavenly aura as if the G.o.ds granted Ares those gifts, bestowing their blessings in white radiance of divine weapons. It's almost like all the weapons used by heaven's guardian surrounded Ares a.s.sembling in a sphere like structure around him.
Zoilas is more than scared at his wit end. His pants are wet like he peed himself as he witnessed the power that resembled the G.o.ds. -*"Wh- wha what i-i-n-in the world is this? Are all those weapons made of his spiritual power, all alone?"* Zoilas stuttered terrified as his mind tried to process out what he just saw.
"NOT EVEN THE FIVE STAR GENERAL WHO IS HAILED AS THE ONLY MORTAL THAT CAN RIVAL G.o.dS, POSSESSED SUCH POWER!" Zoilas shouts loudly as he trembles and whimpers in fear acknowledging his end.
*Swoosh~~* all the weapons around Ares out of nowhere are released and are shot toward the soldiers at a very fast pace. The weapons travelled piercing the air at an enormous speed like a huge storm of light sweeping away an entire city.
Before Zoilas could grab a hold of the situation , all the soldiers along with rest of Caracus villagers have been cut down, thrashed and decapitated like something invisible slaughtered them all. Zoilas is the only person now standing alive in the entirely vast stretched cemetery along with Ares.
Zoilas immediately runs towards Ares like a coward, without any pride he kneel and begs Ares to spare his life. The arrogant man ran for his life, turning from a lion into a mouse.
"Ares, Ares please I have a family. I never wanted to do this from the first. I was forced by the higher up's I'm from Aztec not Agartha, really. I'm one of the ground support regiment. Please let me live Ares... please" Zoilas keep blabbering Ares all sort of excuses that came into his mind repeatedly, to make Ares take mercy on him, but Ares whose heart had completely turned into a blood pumping machine devoid of emotions, gazes down upon Zoilas with a grin- dark expression and no emotion can be sense from him at that moment.
"Cut your neck off by yourself, it will be an easy death." Ares mocks Zoilas as he did with Edward, without any trace of softness.
"You won't get away with just this! you will know how big of a mistake you are doing! You don't even know who is involved in this." Zoilas threatens angrily once he was so sure of dying a horrible death, setting a symbol of terror for generations.
A spears runs down on the head of Zoilas from his temple and comes out splitting his body into two. while he is on ground with a thump. "GoodBye" Ares says as he looks up at the sky, thinking about all the villagers and his friends that died here. And also the thought of soldiers crossed his mind that he killed mercilessly.
He looked sad as if he didn't wanted to kill anybody, as they too had their own families.
*Meanwhile in Mindoro a couple of hours earlier*
"Mars! the skies rumbling and I definitely heard something big, I doubt a huge bomb is dropped at the sh.o.r.e in the direction of Edward and our men, the place they were camping at." A guard from Mindoro wakes up Mars by jerking him ranting with a rather surprising news.
"Chiefff!!! Chieffff!!!!! I saw a blast , heavy smoke and I saw the trees and woods withering after the huge blast. Something wrong is definitely going down there. Let me go chief!" Gus who has run here worrisome requests to the already surprised Mars in paniced state.
"Guards! prepare for us to leave, gather all the men in the village, we're gonna head out to our brothers and lend them a hand!" Mars commands his men of what they should be doing immediately.
It's a panic in village. Every family of the warrior that went to a.s.sist Caracus along with Ares are in desperation to hear any news from them or to go along with Mars to see what had happened to their loved ones. Mars and the guards had to delay their departure to calm the villagers down.
The wife of Edward stares at the crimson moon while worrying about her husband while the two daughters laid sleeping in her arms soundly. The crimson moon is naturally defined as a sign of ma.s.sacre in some places, a very bad omen. This makes her even more worried about the well-being of her husband.
"Chief I will be heading out first, I will be fast with my pulleys." Gus says the words and heads out without stopping to listen to what Mars had to suggest .
"This kid, never listen to us! He is heading out in the dark without worrying about his own safety!" Mars shakes his head in frustration and yells at Gus and sets out to the sh.o.r.e of the battle following the lead of Gus.
*"I'm sure of it, Ares will win, he will be standing and protecting my villagers. Tanya, Albert and Alex used to make fun of me for worrying about Ares. And Yang would keep his grumpy face on and ask me about Tisha. Alrightyyy!! Ares, here I come.* Gus murmurs to himself , unsure of what was ahead of him while he is set on the way to the battle scene.
*"It's now or never, it's finally time for us to end our fued with Caracus. We will become brother in arms now, everything will be peaceful once tonight pa.s.ses by."* Mars thinks about the well being of his villagers and bonds with other villages while on his way not knowing what lies ahead of him.
*Coming back to the sh.o.r.e of battle in the present*
A group of 5 whips with sharp spearheads tied to their tails suddenly pierces the flesh of Ares from the backside. The whips sprouted from his chest. Ares couldn't help but notice how familiar the whips are to his eyes, It's as if he knew the familiar weapon used many times before by someone who fought alongside him since he became the captain.
"I- I see, so that's how it is Tanya. You were a member from Zoilas squad? Ha ha" Ares chuckled and coughs blood as he turns around to face her.
Tanya stands with a different attire than her soldier dress and is giving a really cold look towards Ares as her hand grips on the whip sword in her hand. She pulls the whip sword back slas.h.i.+ng the flesh of Ares from inside. She looks very dominating and no traces of emotion can be seen from her cold aura.
"Don't hold a grudge on me in your afterlife Ares, I'm not a spy of other nation. What Zoilas uttered in pure fear is true. He is from Aztec I'm his messenger, I was ordered to do this." Tanya says to Ares without any hint of remorse or sadness in her tone.
"I see, so it's our own generals that wants me dead? I see. Anyway, I'm happy that atleast you are alive of our squad Tanya... *Coughh!!* I'm happy, but don't go after the village." Ares says with relief as his body falls to the ground.
Tanya was not ready for the words, she just cut this man's flesh and yet he still was treating her as his friend and forgave her? Is the reliever expression on his face denotes that he is happy to die in her hands so that he won't kill more people in his future as he rank up in the military?
"We agreed to wipe out Mindoro as a part of our deal with the Caracus village. The deal happened when the Caracus saw our power, when we wiped out Sable as our first target. Caracus after witnessing our powers begged to be spared and that they will help us in killing you and in return we burn Mindoro to ashes. But, now that the caracus is wiped out, I don't care about Mindoro anymore. Still I didn't think it would come down to me to kill you, you are too powerful." Tanya tells to Ares with a tear falling from the side of her eyes and she turns her face away from Ares to not let him see her tears dropping.
Sable was wiped out at first to see the weapons and the powers the people use on this island. And for the good of the soldiers the Islanders only use natural weapons without any strategies. However Caracus witnessed the power of Zoilas and his army and they beg Zoilas to spare them in exchange, they need to help Zoilas kill Ares.
Both of the parties agreed to it and sent an official and guards to Mindoro to lure them by asking them for their help, but after witnessing the power of Ares in Mindoro against the guard with the blade who was about to kill Gus, the soldiers and villagers of caracus came up with a plan of Making the Mindoro and Ares wait for days and nights without any sleep. They try to gain Mindoro's trust, make them weak and make them drop their guards against them and then they would begin the slaughtering of Mindoro as per their plan, taking advantage of sleepless soldiers who has lost their ability to think and fight due to dizziness and attacking at the most unexpected time.
Ares lays on the ground lifeless, Tanya walks up to him, sits on her knees, grabs and places the head of Ares on her lap and brushes his hair while her tears keep rolling down on the face of Ares.
"It was hard on me Ares, forgive me.. forgive me.. forgive me." Tanya begs for a few minutes and she then wipe away any traces of her tears from her face and then leaves the island to report the successful plan of wiping out Ares with the whole island.
