Rise of the Legendary Emperor

Chapter 77: End of the Battle

"Come on he's just one man, not a god" one of the rebels shouted as Warren tried to defeat General Hozai.

The battle between Warren's men and General Hozai was not coming to a stop and General Hozai's superior battle prowess and experience nearly made him invincible as he knocked out most of Warren's men.

Watching the fight from afar Gael cursed at General Hozai in his mind and the soldiers who started to revolt were terrified at seeing Warren's men getting knocked down one by one.

However when the battle seemed to be going in General Hozai's favor, suddenly a bolt of light struck the middle of the battlefield.

General Hozai halted his offense on Warren's men and looked at the place where the light struck cautiously.

While looking General Hozai and the others could vaguely see a figure with feminine features slowly walking towards General Hozai.

"Half elf" Warren mumbled under his breath as the woman came closer to them.

"Who are you?" seeing the half-elf walking towards him General Hozai asked the half-elf and firmly gripped his sword as his instincts told him that the half-elf before him is a very powerful individual.

Obviously the half-elf was Arrora and when she heard General Hozai's question she didn't answer it quickly but looked at the awestruck men around her for a moment.

Even though General Hozai was very powerful compared to Warren's men, Arrora noticed he didn't kill them but just injured them.

"You are not fighting against the rebels but fighting against these people's hope and freedom General" Arrora didn't shout but her voice was magically enhanced so her voice could reach everyone's ears.

The moment her gentle voice reached their ears the people who were previously shouting, the soldiers who were revolting and all of them near the stage went silent and stood watching Arrora in a shock.

Although General Hozai has seen elves and half-elves, this is the first time he has seen a half-elf without slave chains and ragged clothes.

"It doesn't matter who I am General, stand down and let these people have their freedom and hope back"

General Hozai didn't answer her but shook his head and let out a deep breath

"It's my duty to defend my king even though he's like King Hedor" General Hozai said.

"Then I have to stop you General" as Arrora said her silver sword appeared in her hand.

Recognizing the battle with the half-elf is eminent General Hozai and feeling the powerful aura radiating from the half-elf, he leaped towards her with his full speed to attack.

Warren and his men's eyes went wide when they realized that this is General Hozai's true power as they saw the magical fluctuations around his body. However their eyes opened even further when they saw Arrora's figure blurred as she disappeared and appeared near General Hozai in a flash.

No one could see General Hozai and Arrora's figures as they could only see two blurs moving around. General Hozai didn't expect that she would be this fast since he could barely dodge and block her attacks and even though he had a feeling that she's not attacking him with her full power.

As time went by General Hozai couldn't block all of her attacks and sustained some injuries from her silver sword. While fighting her General Hozai was able to see weird magical fluctuations around her body, he has never seen such magical fluctuations.

"What are we waiting for? come on" Joel's shout broke the silence and made Warren and his men turn their attention towards the remaining army of King Hedor.

General Hozai couldn't stop them this time as he was already having a hard time-fighting Arrora and seeing the rebels running towards them the remaining soldiers went pale and prepared to defend their king.

"FOR EMIR!!!!" The rebels shouted as they clashed with the soldiers, some of the nobles used this chaos as a distraction and slipped away while others picked weak-looking rebels and started to fight with them.

Warren didn't waste his time fighting the soldiers as he leaped on the stage and knocked down the two soldiers guarding King Hedor.

"So you are the one leading this rebellion huh?" Gael asked Warren while taking out his sword from the sheath.

"Your reigns end here King Hedor"

"Is it?" Gael said with a devilish smirk on his face.

The city square was now turned into a battlefield as only metal clashing and screams of soldiers could be heard. Gael knew he could easily defeat Warren but for Don and Knight's plan to work he must be defeated by Warren in a long fight.

"My lord we healed everyone like lady Arrora said" on the sky above the battlefield the hooded figures reported to Don.

"Good now go to the battlefield and heal everyone there but do that as everyone can see you" Don calmly said while looking at the battle between Gael and Warren.

"Yes my lord" they bowed towards Don and started to descend to the ground.

After a lot of exchanges, Warren could see King Hedor getting tired and exhausted. Gael gritted his teeth in pain as blood started to pour out of some of the wounds caused by Warren's sword.

"Surrender now King Hedor you lost" seeing General Hozai couldn't beat the half-elf who he guessed as someone sent by Joel's employer as well as the remaining soldiers getting defeated one by one in the hands of his men.

Seeing King Hedor didn't say anything Warren pushed his offense as his slashes made more and more wounds on King Hedor's body.

While attacking King Hedor Warren found an opening on King Hedor's defense and decided to land a final blow and end the fighting.

Gael prepared to defend himself as he circulated the bound energy through his whole body when he saw the magical fluctuations getting stronger around Warren's body as he knew Warren is going for a final blow.

"This is the end, King Hedor" Warren let out a shout as he gathered all his magical energy around his sword and slashed at King Hedor with all his might.

"Oh shit" the fatty minister screamed when he was pushed back by the force of Warren's attack. The guards and the people almost stopped what they were doing when they heard a loud boom sound coming from the stage where the battle was going on between Warren and King Hedor.

Warren was breathing in and out as he was exhausted after his final attack which nearly drained all of his magical energy. Warren could only see smoke and vaguely see a deep cut on the stage where King Hedor was standing before but he could not see any signs of King Hedor.

However, when the smoke started to clear Warren was able to see King Hedor standing a few feet away from his previous place.

Just as the smoke disappeared completely Warren couldn't believe his eyes because King Hedor didn't die as Warren had thought.

King Hedor was a bloody mess, the force of Warren's attack smashed King Hedor's nose and his eyes almost shut with swelling. His arms are wrapped around his guts like he's holding them in and to be honest he looked like he's beat so bad as he could be. King Hedor's beautiful hair now looked burnt and messy as his clothes were torn and blood started to pour out of his wounds but he was alive.

"Hahaha you think you can defeat me ME!!" the fatty minister almost wet his pants when he saw the bloodshot eyes and devilish look on King Hedor's face.

"How how is this possible?" Warren mumbled under his breath while a red-colored scroll which was decorated with dragon pictures appeared in King Hedor's hand.

"I wanted to use this to destroy Korrinth but now I'm gonna destroy this land of rebels and imbeciles if I can't rule this kingdom nobody can" Everyone who heard King Hedor felt a cold chill in their spines.

"Warren kill him before he uses the scroll!!!" Warren heard Joel shouting at him but he couldn't move his feet towards King Hedor as he felt some force stopping him from doing so.

"Fire it up" Warren heard King Hedor's voice before a sudden explosion with a thunderous boom sound and bright light which made everyone close their eyes. The stage where King Hedor was standing now looked like it's containing a small sun as the heat and light made everyone tremble and expect a cruel death.

"Did I fail my people?" Warren couldn't help but ask the question while his clothes were disappearing due to the heat coming from King Hedor.

However, when everyone thought they were going to die, the heat started to cool down as everyone slowly opened their eyes to see a force field containing what looked like a small sun to them.

Above the force field, Warren saw a black-clothed man descending towards the stage.

"Who are you?" Warren couldn't stand still when he weakly asked the man before him.

"My lord" but before the man could answer Warren saw Joel running towards him and kneeling before the man.

Seeing what's happening on the stage everyone stopped fighting and looked at the black-clothed man without even blinking including General Hozai.

"My lord is the one helping all of us Warren, he's my employer" the rebels gaped a mouth full of air as Warren wanted to thank Joel's employer but he couldn't muster the strength to do so.

Don didn't say anything to Warren but lifted his arm as the force field which containing the bright light flew higher and higher and when everyone thought that the light has disappeared into the skies, they saw the light exploding.

Even from afar, the explosion sent heat waves as Warren realized that if it exploded on the ground the kingdom would have been thoroughly destroyed.

"What happened to King Hedor?" After seeing the explosion finally disappearing Warren couldn't help but ask about King Hedor.

"He's dead" Don said.

Just after the soldiers heard that their king is dead they dropped their weapons and started to surrender one by one because now they don't have any duties or king to protect. Everyone knew by the size of the explosion and the heat it produced, there was no way that King Hedor would have survived.

"Mother"

"Lisa you are alive"

"You are alive"

Many soldiers and people stepped from the line while their eyes were slowly filling with tears. Before they knew it, they were hugging their families tightly who they thought had died in the previous explosions King Hedor set, Loren's tears dripping from her cheeks onto her white shirt. Some of the soldiers' arms were encircled around their wives, while others were hugged by their parents making everyone forget for a moment about the battle they have witnessed just before.

After a moment of their reunion, the people started to realize that they were saved by the mysterious black hooded people who are now standing behind the black-clothed man on the stage.

"Thank you" everyone who was saved by Arrora's men bowed their heads towards them and said as their eyes were filled with gratitude and relief.

"Come meet me at the castle when everything is taken care of" Don said looking at Warren and turned his gaze towards Joel and Arrora's men who were now standing behind him.

"Help them"

As Don said his figure blurred and disappeared along with Arrora leaving Warren and Joel behind.
