Villainess and Grimoire - Chapter 112 – General Aurora Arc

Without further due, the Saintess who was blessed since birth with an abnormal amount of mana worth 20 thousand, injected it on Romeo and split it with an earth mage. This resulted in an absurd gigantic wall amplified by the sage skill, having a size of 100-meter length and 12 meters tall, completely splitting the goblin force.

Noticing how successful the surprise had been, Aurora lowered the flag forward, and the drums started beating fiercely, while her voice in a loud and cold tone, was directed towards a great part of the battlefield through wind magic saying,” slaughter those green worms!”

The formation started closing while the human shouts propagated everywhere causing pressure to the goblins while becoming a big circle, surrounding the green creatures completely. The goblin mages and archers stood behind the walls, confused between trying to destroy it or running to the sides going around it, both ways would take a long time to succeed.

Having underestimated Aurora’s army size, their leader blew a longhorn calling the ones who remained on the goblin kingdom side, back, in other words, the rear. Leaving the three hundred thousand to die while killing as many humans as they could.

Bloodshed befell mostly on the goblin’s side still leaving a decent number of casualties on the human side, as the enemies were physically superior by a bit. Nonetheless bringing the greatest war achievement in the entirety of the human story.

System: A goddess has cheered a toast in your honor.

Having noticed how everything went as smoothly as planned by their general. The many great leaders of the different rose heads could no longer stand on her way in prestige, as such, a peculiar one was extremely angry being left out, forced to watch from afar.

‘I was supposed to be the next head of the generals of the king army, how dare you completely steal my spotlight you little bitch!?’ I will fucking find a way to break and then kill you Aurora!’ Zylph thought completely furious while having a vein pop out close to the left eyebrow, as the skin turned red from the shaking of his body while clenching the fists on the reins while on top of a horse.

The man next to him, the mercenary leader noticing how in rage he was declared,” I can prepare a couple of disposable young men or slaves to vent out the anger milord.”

With a furious expression, he faced the man and glared at him nodding lightly. The teeth of the man too were clenched in rage, unable to open the mouth from the humiliation this caused him. Unknowingly to Aurora as her plan simply didn’t require cavalry, if it failed, she had planned to turn it into a strategical retreat.

A few hours passed and the humans took what they could with them as spoils of war. The goblin meat, for example, was a worthwhile ingredient despite the taste, and the equipment they have too, not to forget the soul stones, however, due to the high number close to three hundred thousand, a lot of corpses were left behind. Aurora without wanting them to touch the bodies too much as she had other plans, ordered the retreat since a complete victory was far from happening, and overstaying could lead to danger.

She stood still while the men cheered for her while heading back to the camp.

“Amazing job general I’ve fallen for you all over again!” Raphael the spear user who was covered in blood said while passing by with the rest of his squadron to what Aurora’s gaze shifted towards him evaluating him from top to bottom.

“I doubt any woman would like to share a bed with you unless at the bare minimum you take a bath Raphael, you’re looking rather filthy,” a happy smile appeared on his face to what he said,” if I take one would I have your company later tonight?”

Her gaze shifted to the front away from him while saying,” if you don’t die before the humans conquer the world, I might take on that offer, even though it won’t mean I love you back,” a charming smile surfaced on his expression to what he said while starting to move,” then you better start waging more wars like this one to speed things up.”

“If only the enemies would fall for such plans every time, it surely would be easier.”

Raphael started laughing while leaving, getting mixed in the soldier’s crowd as both knew the green ones wouldn’t fall for the same trick twice.

A while passes and the first line in the center starts passing through Aurora. Every single man looking up to her as she’s mounted on a horse, while they’re completely bathed on blood for having had the hardest role on the battlefield stopping around her with 2 to 5 meters of distance, and then within the group, a man and a girl also bathed in blood approach the horse.

“Great job today general,” Alfred calmly says bowing lightly filled with respect, having doubted the girl before, making this an act of apologizing to her and himself.

The men who wore white sets of armor let out a roar in honor of their leader’s courtesy and compliment, which was extremely rare for him to do, even to Alicia his own daughter.

“That was quite chaotic, war truly is dangerous, but I was able to gain some levels thanks to it, do you have news of your sister?”

Aurora shifted her gaze from Alfred to Alicia and replied with a calm tone,” thank you, Lord Alfred.”

Ignoring Alicia momentarily she starts looking at the tired faces of the men and shouts, “I’m also thankful for every single one of you who stood your ground today, since if Lord Alfred’s line fails, humanity falls, you all are the guardian’s that keeps our race alive. All of you are our greatest line of defense!” Feeling prideful inside the men gave ten hurrah’s beating the shields with their weapons as they went causing the morale to grow deep inside.

“Go rest all of you, it is the minimum you deserve from your efforts today,” without waiting for Alfred’s command which surprised him, the men resumed the march allowing the man to come to the realization of Aurora being above him, to what he didn’t mind as the achievements of today were more than what he ever achieved through his life in war.

“Let’s go, daughter,” as soon as they started moving with a low tone Aurora said,” sister is still going to train with Ray for a few more years, then she’s thinking on opening a shop to sell potions and the like, she sends a hug.”

With a big smile, Alicia kept moving grabbing Alfred’s hand tight, leaving with him who ended up looking at the daughter’s joyful face faintly smiling.

Soon after, the Saintess along with Romeo and Sophie approached her.

“Little sister we’re back! Did you see what we did? It was fantastic right? Aren’t you proud of us?”

Aurora placed her hand in an old fashioned way in front of her mouth, closing it slightly with the back of the hand towards her lips chuckling gracefully startling them, and then with a mature tone, she replied tenderly,” yes, I’m very proud of you guys, if that didn’t work we would all be dead. I can’t even find the right words to express how amazing that wall you guys created is, if that was done against me, I don’t know how I would have resolved it, truly brilliant, thank you, Sage, Hero, and of course Saintess.”

Being showered with such praise as she was generally a very cold and serious person, the couple held their tears while the Saintess placed her hands on top of their heads saying softly,” let us go, we should rest in case they launch a counter-attack,” to what they nod lightly leaving with happy faces.

As the entire human army vanished and the goblin one retreated. The girl unmounted her horse and walked slowly to the middle of the corpses both human and goblin ones, as it was impossible to carry all of them back.

“Now then let’s see how the gods of this world will react to my power and what I’ll gain from it, true form.”

Notice: 1000 mana has been consumed, this form will last for 2 minutes, as it is level 2.

“Very well, now it’s time to devour everything,” as she walked forward a dark eerie aura spread everywhere, consuming the corpses of both humans and goblins alike, and once her skill would end. She would repeat this process multiple times eventually absorbing every single one of them. She could expand her dark aura wide enough with the current gigantic mana amount, even though it became shorter each time a thousand mana would be consumed by the true form skill. Thanks to this repetition, the skill would level up every time it was used lasting longer in exchange.

Notice: Your soul power has reached 100 million.

Notice: Pandemonium knowledge has maxed the % related to the goblin and human races.

‘Doesn’t really tell me what devouring them did, but at the very least I won’t have to bother with these two races anymore. I’ll have to see what I can do with all the soul power, but since my body suffered no changes, it’ll most likely be for Iris use. I’m sure, she’ll become an excellent partner when the time comes… right, that would be rude, a lovely sister, the sole existence worthy of standing in the same stage as me,’ a very charmful and lovely smile appeared on her expression, making her look like a very kind grandmother.

Close to an hour, later Aurora in a normal form identical to Iris could be seen alone on top of the horse looking at the tall wall Romeo had helped create. Then out of nowhere, heard a loud bang, then two, then three, and at the fourth time a tenth of it crumbled down, causing a big cloud of dust to envelope the hole it left.

Similar bangs started echoing around the rest of the wall, and by the time it was over, she could see gigantic goblins coming out from those holes tattering the wall down mercilessly.

‘It seems like the old goblin wasn’t lying, had they used them earlier, I wouldn’t have been able to encircle their front force long enough, having the surrounding force be attacked from two sides like they were,’ a happy smile surfaced on her face while becoming happy from the sight and the future challenge, she’d face, but thanks to this information, countermeasures would be a matter of time.

Upon noticing two big hands grabbing the top of the leftover wall, she watched it fell which allowed Aurora to see Gigantos the leader and tallest of the giant goblins.

“That one is a little despairing,” fully equipped in black armor he placed one of the hands on the forehead that had no helmet to cover the eyes from the sun. Then looking forward with the shadow from the big hand, his lips moved as he noticed a human on top of a horse emanating a terrific eerie dark aura.

Behind Gigantos a group of very strong goblins started lining up from afar, the shaman, Goblina, four of the elites, and the goblin king himself, all of them talking while looking at the battlefield.

Aurora unmounted the horse and then faced towards their direction bowing deeply to them, then mounted once more, and pulled the reins after observing them a bit more. She rode back to the outpost allowing her blonde hair to be spotted from afar, making the shaman point at her and possibly understand who the person was and why the human had bowed.

Moments earlier at the end of the fight before Aurora received a system message.

In a completely black room, a woman was watching Aurora while clapping happily at all the innovations she had brought together from flag-waving to drum beating, and this amazing formation called the moon.

“Yes, yes! Wave that flag! Ah… Ah… That’s right! Ah… Show them how it’s done!” Laughter, while mixed with pleasure, resounded in unison for the most intricate banquet after hearing Aurora’s speech which made the goddess rose cheeks quite red.

“Haven’t had this much fun in so long, ah this is the best, this little sentient weapon truly was worth making, I can’t get enough, Ah… yes… right there… the moon formation? It should be called the dark moon,” laughter resounded fiercely in the room,” come on, almost there, close it, close it, oh a gigantic wall!? Marvelous tactic! Just who is this girl?” Her middle finger started ramming a bit deeper inside,” murder them all! Bring them the pain and humiliation of losing as a superior race! Show those goblins how it’s done!”

“Ah my goodness, those words… slaughter those green worms! That’s even worse than me! They made me so very filled with fluids…” Laughter and pleasure contrasted ever so nicely to the point of bringing the goddess incredible joy along with splashing sounds from the now two fingers working in a combination delivering a swirl of hotness and delight.

“Go human! Go Goblin! Fight, murder!”

“Ah, ah, ah… Ah! That was… quite enjoyable,” she picks a dark chalice and lifts it in the air, and then a black void from above it appears dropping a green sticky liquid, and also crimson drops, almost like a shot from those who died.

“Show me how much you’ll ruin this world weapon Aurora!” While dripping from down there, wetting the floor below the throne she’s seated on, a sip is taken from the chalice, and then a sticky and wet red tongue passes through the lips happily.

“Oh look it’s those big goblins! They truly look strong, that shitty goddess Luna sure prepared quite the powerful toys,” mad laughter echoed the darkroom while the many lamps turning on.

“Now retreat before they kill you Aurora, your death isn’t to be seen just yet, you must fill this goddess of chaos with more amusement, more more more! Just thinking about it… Ah, my stick has gotten quite hard, time to find something else to watch now,” with a twist of fingers the screen changed to something else.

“Oh… it seems the god of evil Hathus is on the move, provoking the demons to conquer the north towards the west… More excitement and chaos to come!”
