Blacksmith of the Apocalypse - Chapter 1215

It felt as if everything had halted. The burning zombies stopped attacking, and the soldier, who had run for the gate stood still. Natina's heard her own ragged breathing. It was as if the world had halted for just a moment, to listen.

“Down from the sky. Into the fight.” a voice erupted into the silence of this still world. it was a quiet voice in a language Natina didn't know, yet understood the meaning of. Her gaze trailed to the skies above, in the direction of Delta.

“Hearts full of rage, full of thunder and glory.” The heaven above them actually darkened with clouds, as if a storm front approached from the direction of Delta. The burning meat sacks began moving again, with reignited vigor.

“Swords in the wind crossing the sky.” A group of small figures appeared in the far distance. Natina shook her head. Seeing the undead move again, she forced herself to escape the weird state she was in. It had only been moments since the beat began, but it felt like minutes.

“What are you all waiting for?! Get out of here, evacuate through the portal. You are just in the way,” Natina finally barked her command, ripping the soldiers out of their stupor. How was she supposed to fight properly, when she had to look out for all this luggage?

“ Lords of doom bring an end to your story.” The cry of a melody erupted among the mountain, shaking the very bedrock they stood on, as the figures got closer. The Chosen of Kali could feel her knees weaken under the vibration and suppression of the music.

The figures were close enough to make them out. There were five figures in the front, one riding a griffin, three riding horses, and one riding what looked like a horned beast. The moment she managed to get a closer look, she regretted it immediately, as her heart proceeded to drop down her pants.

A knight in dull gray armor, carrying a staff and a shield. The armor looked menacing, giving off a feeling of dread. The knight rode a metallic horse covered in almost fluffy-looking frost and left a trail of snow in the sky.

A knight bursting with flames, parts of his armor looked black, but many parts were glowing red and yellow from the heat. He carried the burning blade of a sword without a hilt and rode a metallic horse, bursting with pure crimson flames, leaving a trail of fire and smoke in the air.

An automaton resembling a knight in heavy armor made of a crimson material with red markings. Compared to the others, it was slimmer and sleek in design, a fusion of armor and golem. In it's hands it carried a frightening contraption, which resembled a staff, fashioned with a boat hook at one end, and three chains that ended in vicious hooks at the other end.

This one rode a stag, which looked like it was carved from black crystal, except for the silver antlers on its forehead. The stag left a trail of water droplets on its path.

Stolen novel; please report.

Natina immediately recognized the last one, as she remembered her jealousy for the mount. The fourth horseman rose a pale white Night Mare. It was a night as black as darkness itself, emitting the aura of death from his armor that looked like black crystal. He carried no weapon, except the horde of undead surrounding the camp.

Above the music swelled again.

“Down from the sky. Into the fight. Hearts full of rage, full of thunder and glory.”

The four horsemen literally swooped down from the sky, raising their arms. They were finally coming to get them! Four legends were diving at the camp. She wanted to summon Kalzemir and Diromold, resist even if it cost her the rest of the soldiers. However. R̃å

. You are stunned.>

“Swords in the wind crossing the sky. Lords of doom bring an end to your story.”

Was this the end?

“Tsk, to think even my summoner forgot my existence.”

...

--Delta--

Idylon Mo stared down at the tree crown below where over 2000 people had just vanished, finding their end because of his deeds. Although he knew what he was doing, when he created a spatial lock above Delta, he only quite realized it, when it actually happened.

This had been his plan. He had theorized that a spatial lock was unable to close this gate, created by a legendary artifact. Maybe it would have been better if he had been wrong... Even when they were soldiers of Spatia, he couldn't help but feel some burden on his mind. Did they deserve to die like this?

Shaking his head, he chased away those thoughts. He could still ponder on his actions at a later time, he had something more important to do now. With a serious look, he approached the supermassive gate above Delta.
