Arrows of Judgement

  What was their response to me going melee? Summon an entire fucking army using the power they got from The Pale Court.

  Thousands of horse riders encircled me, shooting arrows of Judgement at me. But I don't care.

  Domination is more than sufficient to protect against this rain of terror. Not to mention Ars Theurgia Goetia, granting a level of protection simir to Romulus' Domination.

  Then there is Ars Nova, which grants me magic resistance and enhances my own magic attacks, which is why Walpurgis Festival is so busted now.

  And finally, the st piece to Solomon, Ars Paulina, has the opposite effect of Ars Goetia. It makes anything I touch unbreakable.

  Still, I prefer going offensive than defensive, knowing that I can overcome everything. These arrows did jackshit to me anyway.

  "Manifest Destiny."

  KRAKAKAKOOM!!

  I darted around, systematically ssh and stab the horsemen with my sword and nce alike. If I wanted to, I could've stuck with Malice to end all of them in one go. But I am me, I am here to prove a point.

  An arrow from one of the Genghis Khan came straight after me. But it was too slow for my liking, I just perfectly thrust my nce against the tip of the arrow.

  Quirinus roared, absorbing the attack with its centrifugal force into itself.

  After being done with the army, I turned my gaze to the two Khans— then I was beside them in a fsh. This caught them off guard, reading to jump off the tower they were in.

  Too slow.

  I thrust my nce forward at the female one, tearing her apart, then moved onto the male one— shit, they reformed already. Both of them were quick to draw their arrow, firing straight at me.

  I let them hit me, going out from the smoke caused by the impact of my Domination. But that didn't deter me at all, I went forward and sliced both of them in half.

  The male Khan sliced his own throat and reappeared next to the female one before she perished and did the same... this btant dispy of abusing their immortality...

  Ah fuck it—

  What?

  We stopped our brief engagement as soon as we heard music, holy hymns as if to welcome something. Then I noticed it, an angel in gold and white armor descending down, spreading its pair of wings like some sort of divine messenger.

  "In the name of the Arbiter, I decre—"

  "Enuma Elis.", I thrust my nce forward, ripping a beam of white light, leaving a gaping hole in its chest to stop it from speaking.

  Then a volley of Judgement Arrows impaled the thing, made it crash into the ground. The music also stopped.

  "Finally, one more of these things.", the female Khan grinned, then she gnced over to me, "Sorry, we've been on the order of the Lord and Light to exterminate all of the Eldritch Gods and Heralds on Earth."

  I narrowed my eyes, "So you used me as bait?"

  "Yes.", the male Khan answered, "Though that servant of yours is also on the hit list—"

  I was already behind them with my back turned, sliced Genghis Khan in half in a fsh of light.

  "Utopia is my servant, you will not touch him.", I stated with unfiltered fury.

  "[Your Majesty, you don't need to go this far for me.]", he chimed in.

  "Shut up, you are one of my people. How can I cim myself to be a ruler when my loyal subject is being threatened?", I shut him up.

  Genghis Khan reappeared next to his other half, "So you intend to make yourself an enemy of The Pale Court?"

  "Genghis Khan, you are a ruler yourself.", I addressed both of them, "Are you willing to fight for your own against all odds?"

  They stayed silent, they already knew the answer.

  "Cease your pursuit of my servants, and I won't render your homend to craters.", I still have 30 Hammers of God left, even after indulging in my petty thoughts.

  "And cease this meaningless march against humanity.", I made myself clear.

  "That, we can't.", Genghis Khan stated, "For the mission of The Pale Court, it is better to use scorched earth tactic to draw out the Star Gods."

  That makes sense, I agree.

  "I am the Anchor of the Present, splitting Time into Past and Future."

  But this army of undead is in my way.

  "Argent Overdrive."

  The world around me rumbled and everything was suddenly pushed away from me as the weight of my Soul manifested into reality.

  With just a thought, I dismantled through both of them with my sword and nce. Killing them both in an instant.

  But I didn't kill them, as I wasn't using my Judgement. I can see their souls fshing up into the sky, specifically toward the Sun.

  My halo flickered, half dyeing the azure light of Survive. Snowfkes of chalk began to fall.

  "How many undead are here?", I asked Utopia.

  "[Just over twenty million, Your Majesty.]"

  That's a decent amount.

  Electricity crackles again, and I made my move.

  "Destiny Road."

  Destiny is a road with many branches, one that I can calcute in an instant. And with the power to bring out the Potential of Ambition and Survive... I can manifest all of those destinies at once, as long as they reach the same conclusion.

  That conclusion was... the destruction of the Mongolian Undead Army.

  Each part of myself split, blitzing through the entire ndscape with lightning speed. After images, manifestations of my own Will went forth to fulfill all paths of destiny.

  "It is time to awaken, Quirinus!!"

  I stab the nce into the ground and twist it, the storm gathers above me with lightning crackles and thunder roars.

  "Come! Bring the storm and blot out the Past!!"

  More and more lightning began to fsh, becoming agitated as the nce glows and hums.

  "This is my Symphony for you all!! O' unfortunate souls of this nd!!!", then I raised Quirinus to the sky, lightning continuously struck it and transferred my will to the storm, "In the Name of Humanity!!! Carve a Path for the Future!!!!"

  And I swung the nce down.

  "WORLD BREAKER!!!!!"

  In front and around me, the sky roars as tens of thousands of lightning strike down upon the nd, dyeing the entire world in a bnket of light. My afterimages, across the Western border of China, acted as conduits— attracting the lightning to minimize the damage I brought, and to not miss a single one of the Undead.

  I exited Argent Overdrive and my halo vanished. Now that this is done... the Russians can handle the zombies on their front, but the Mongolians still have to answer something.

  All I need to do now is wait out the aftermath.

  Taiwan, Korea, Vietnam, Laos, Thaind, India, and many other countries in Asia will come and fill the power vacuum left by China.

  I summon the Book of Akasha, flipping through the pages. Hmm, there are still a fair bit of Chinese... no, former Chinese, in the mountain and rural areas, and those who evacuated to neighboring countries.

  I just hope that this will trigger what I want, if not... triggering a few more bombs would suffice.

  With this done, let's turn to... huh? Where the fuck did the Angel's corpse go? It was just a few meters away from me.

  "Utopia, do you happen to know what that Angel is?"

  "[It was a Life born from The Enigma Code's Tempte of Life. It seems that since our st contact, they had made some moves.]", he stated.

  Fucking hell... another Eldritch situation?

  "Send Babel a message informing them of this situation.", I stabbed my nce into the ground and ran through my hair with my finger.

  "[As you Command, Your Majesty.]"

  I return Quirinus to the ship, as well as separate by sword back to its components. Next, I returned Gatine.

  "Get Enna on the line for me.", I said as I observed Karakorum. It should wake up anytime now...

  A moment ter, Enna got on the line.

  [What is it, Your Majesty?], she asked.

  "Between you and the Angels of The Enigma Code, which is stronger?", I ask straight away.

  [Me, of course.], she replied in an instant, [Most of them aren't built to fight, I am. And not to mention my armor.]

  "Well, we'll have to deal with that at some point.", it's not on my priorities.

  Hmm, from the rumble a rock spike shot out. I had calcuted that but I don't feel the need to. Why should I? It shattered upon impacting my Domination.

  "Temujin, how have you been?", I grinned and ended the call with a snap of my finger.

  A glowing red spirit formed before me, in the shape of a woman with long flowing hair, wearing a teel - a traditional Mongolian dress. Her gaze is perpetually serene and void of emotion.

  "Charlotte Silvi, how dare you harm my master?", she spoke without her mouth moving

  "They attacked me first, they brushed off my knight. I am a ruler, how could I stand when the honor of my knight and I were on the line?", I held my cane with both my hands, tapping the ground.

  My eyes glow brighter as hundreds of Magic Circles appear around us, all different spells ready to be unched.

  "Are you ready to be exterminated?", I tilt my head, my voice cold and cking emotion.

  She didn't say anything further, just floated in front of me. I can't read the emotion of an Earth Spirit, but I know she is frustrated, unable to do anything.

  "Very well.", I cancel all the spells.

  "Utopia, we are going back.", I commanded.

  "[As you Command, Your Majesty.]", he obliged.

  The jet fighters went past me, so I began to run, crackling electricity with each step I took. I jumped onto an aircraft as it passed.

  Now where should I go next? The whole world is here for me to explore!!
