Chapter 41:

Fighting

WarHead: Forced to Engineer the Apocalypse. Volume one.


Azura pushed out into the horde of demons. Spear in hand and surrounded by knights she led the charge.

The guards on the castle wall cheered in victory. Unaware of the personal feud, all they saw was their Master General heading out to put the final nail in the coffin.

One by one, Azura ran through demons with her spear.

Varkai, the sub race of demons who possessed the physical traits of Mammals.

Zhaari, the sub race of demons who possessed the physical traits of Birds.

Ssarok, the sub race of demons who possessed the physical traits of Reptiles & Amphibians.

Nymrith, the sub race of demons who possessed the physical traits of Fish.

Khezrak, the sub race of demons who possessed the physical traits of Insects.

Vessari, the sub race of demons who possessed the physical traits of Arachnids.

Kharok, the sub race of demons who possessed the physical traits of Crustaceans.

Uulith, the sub race of demons who possessed the physical traits of Mollusks

One by one, no demon could stop Azura as she made her way to one specific Ssarok.

"Look who it is. A little tadpole who thinks of herself as a dragon!"

"Stheno! Today you will die!

Azura stood only a few blade reaches away from her own mother. The monster who had tortured her father, who had taken everything from him, and then who killed him.

"Hahahahaha! I remember your father said almost the same thing! Of all my passing moods, I'd never think a human would yield such a strong child. Shame I let that thief steal you away!"

Azura rushed to meet her mother. Her flagged spear already turned into a scythe. She jumped into the air, lightning arching off her body. Thunder coming down from the sky as she striked with her blade.

Before the scythe could connect. A stone golem grew from the ground and blocked the attack. Electricity grounding through it's body and dispersing harmlessly into the Earth.

"Hahahaha! Did you not do your research? What's good is a scythe? What's good Is your Purple Lightning? To my Army of the Earth!?"

"Spare me the foolishness! This blade shall serve your head as it has for every Ssarok it has met. Your sacrificial pawn and golems can't stop me!"

Three more golems rose from the ground with the wave of Stheno's scaled hand.

"As strong as you are, you are but one. You will tire and you will die alone. Never reach me no matter how many golems you destroy."

"Says the belief of one who only relies on numbers?"

Azura rushed in again.

. . .

"Stand clear!"

The surrounding crew backed up as Shiro stood ready.

Those bolts aren't doing anything...

Alamak's body began to rise as it stitched itself back together.

"Ahhh....you go me. I'll admit it. But you think I didn't take precautions for your rail cannon?"

"I didn't know you could take precautions against it to be honest. What else do you have in there to regenerate like that? Axolotl? Starfish? Some sorta lowly pathetic shit eating worm?"

Shiro raised his blade to Alamak.

"Let's end this!"

A bolt fired from the blade straight at Alamak. Piercing through his chest and leaning behind a fist sized hole.

But that didn't stop him, Alamak shot out his three tongues.

Each one connected onto Shiro.

Shiro quickly brought down the gunblade. Slashing the tongues off of him before he was pulled inside of Alamak's stomach mouth.

However, Shiro still ended up on the floor at Alamak's feet. The Chancellor standing over him with his tongue already regenerating.

"LET UM HAVE IT!!!"

"GIVE HIM HELL!!!"

"SAVE THE BOSS!!"

The crew began unloading more bolts at Alamak.

Countless shots flew dangerously close over Shiro's head in brilliant streaks of white.

This is my opening!

Shiro loaded a thermite bolt into the gunblade and pointed it at Alamak.

"Take this!!!"

The mixture bolt erupted as it launched forward from the tip of the blade. The thermite reaction detonated over his flash burning hot as the aluminum began stripping oxygen from the iron oxide.

The rapid exothermic redox reaction burned hotter against Alamak as it consumed his fat as fuel for the fire.

"Ahhhh!!!"

But his healing persevered.

It wasn't fast enough to put out the cascade of sparks that burned hotter than the sun. But it was enough to keep him alive.

"You weak talentless hero!!!!!"

Alamak looked down and shot out his tongues.

They came out slower this time from the ranging fire, Shiro managed to roll out of the way as they pierced through the lower deck of the Airship.

Not deep enough! His stomach is biological, not magical. Which means earlier, when he swallowed those bolts I got from the crew, he ate some thermite bolts. If I can ignite those inside his stomach there should be no way he can out heal that!

Alamak Started shooting his tongue out at random as the thermic fire completely blocked his view. With each shot of his tongue, he tore through the hull of the Airship.

"The whole ship is going down at this rate!"

Shiro loaded another thermite bolt into the Gunblade activated the gunblade once more. The channel hummed with a low, rising vibration, as though the weapon itself were holding its breath for its final charge. Lightning arching between the two blades in a raging fury.

"Die traitor!!!"

Shrio rushed, in keeping as low as possible.

Then with a powerful thrust he jammed the gunblade straight into Alamak's open stomach mouth.

The thermite bolt reacted.

And so it's the ones inside Alamak's stomach.

I torrent the flame shout out from the bottom half of Alamak. His upper half burt to ashes along with the upper deck and sailing the used to exist directly above his body.

Shiro was launched backwards his right arm covered in flames!

"Ahhhhh!"

The Airship jerked violently as it began rapidly falling to the earth below.

The crew desperately tried to put out the flames on Shiro's arm.

"Attention All crew!"

Captain Eiichrio voiced echo hard over the pipe

"We're going down and we're going down hard like! Those of ya that can, remove the horns on the side of the shit! We're going to capsize this baby!"

(Hi AA, it has occurred to me I never introduced the other demon sub races, please forgive this quick little summary)
