Chapter 300: A fight among champions

The end of the world was foretold to be the arrival of the knights of catastrophe, beings born of pure chaos. However many do not realize they are the cause, naivety in caring for the environment brought forth Famine. Desire to reap gave birth to Conquest, ignoring cooperation led to War, and the raging conflict ended with Death

"Hey, Jin got any idea how to pass their defenses? If not then I can–"

"Save your strength, Kyo Min-soo. I’ve already fought an angel once. Lucifer never once hinted the Heavenly virtues are dead,"

With no option left the two along with Quon veered their gaze at Blake. Upon meeting their glance he takes the lead whilst raising his weapon. His staff seeps an eerie haze sending everything in its path to be rid of their life

"Don’t smell the gas– Arghhhh!!!"

It wasn’t something they could avoid by simply holding their breath nay it was potent to an extent where a little whiff meant death. The soil below, their skin, and even the armor they wore lost all their colors as all its moisture and life were none existent. The phalanx broke and as the corpse fell they were renewed at the command of the knight of Conquest

"Destroy their defenses!"

Quon guided her newly gained army blindly rushing the remainder of the phalanx for the price of their body. Punctured, dismembered, and brutally scorched these corpses remain unfazed and proceed with their command. Eventually, they broke the rest of their protection thus allowing the demonic army to move onward in their massacre

"Kyo Min-soo do it now!"

As Jin commanded Kyo gathered air in his lungs and shouted a rather ear-shattering scream luring everyone in their breadth. Once their paths have been blocked and their exit relinquished, the strongest of the four raises its hammer. A black horrific aura permeated their surroundings and everyone in range felt the tormented soul’s everlasting pain. When faced with such pain the Holy empires soldiers killed themselves instead of enduring such immense pressure

"Puehahahahaha! I can’t believe they’d be this weak and unprepared. Where’s all their talk now? Hey Jin wait up!"

Kyo found the whole scene humorous for such a mighty empire to fall prey to their enemy’s schemes. Regardless of whether they gained the advantage in the fight, their goal wasn’t to lead the demons but to rescue their King. A silhouette far from the battleground gazes at the stopwatch as the time begins to lengthen before her very eye

[They’re doing remarkably well for their actions, I might have even assumed if they were regressors like you, Rachel]

’Believe it or not, the four of them becoming the Four Horsemen isn’t a coincidence but rather encompassing their lives. Kyo Min-soo’s discrimination and familiarity with hatred made him perceive unavoidable conflict in his path. Blake Belfast being thirst for knowledge and desperation made him the embodiment of famine. Quon being raised as a slave made her lack empathy for others making her see everyone as chess pieces,’

[What about Jin Kurenai?]

’Jin Kurenai... in the timeline where he didn’t meet Morris and didn’t recover his memories reverted to his life as a thug. He welcomed fights, he lacked control, and with his cold uncaring nature, he demolished anything in his way. Just as Christoper Morris couldn’t improved himself without him, Kurenai can’t become a normal person without Morris,’

[In a nutshell, he became normal once his insanity got clouded by your lovers and Jin being capable made him want to improve?]

’A symbiotic relationship. These two can’t live normally without each other. This version of them perfectly embodies their bond. As much as I want to erase him from the world I can’t replace his role, even though im his lover I couldn’t agree with his choices. Because of that, I couldn’t be the one to be his support, I’d reject every choice he’d made, leaving him no room for growth,’

Rachel ended their idle chatter and commanded the demonic army to her bidding as they lay waste to their foe. The Vampire Queen Rosalie and the treacherous snake Cocytus filled their roles as champions of war. They charged along with the vengeful demons to bring forth the retribution of humanity for caging them in a barren wasteland

[System: The effect [Coming End] has been triggered once all the Four Horsemen are present on the battlefield

[Coming End]: Will grant the Four Horsemen an enhanced version of their skills. Awakening their true form lowers their skill’s cost and enhances their effect. Finally triggering the Horsemen’s perk exclusive only to a specific individual and can’t be replicated

Outcome: The Horsemen perk of every single Knight is resonating upon fulfilling their needed requirements]

The four made their way to where Christoper lies captive under the underground dungeon of the empire. As they ran amok the soldiers died seeing as the four were enshrouded by a sinister aura reeking nothing but Death. The corpses were reborn anew, the sky seared from the noxious gas, and the morale of the warriors wavers in the face of War

"We’re almost there, keep pushing forward! I don’t wanna hear any complaints got it? The life of our Captain is at stake!"

"You don’t have to tell me twice!"

"My master is my life,"

"I’m deeply indebted to him you know?"

Their steeds trampled on their foe’s lives and as they proceeded a trail of nothingness was seen at their back. As the Four Horsemen advanced slowly they felt a faint chaotic aura as their journey to find the Demon King was reaching its end. Eventually, they came across an annoyance in the form of the skies opening and figures paired with glamorous wings descent

"Kyo Min-soo!" Their mounts vanished in the face of the radiating light and one of them was pushed aback by an angelic being

[System: Upon the presence of the Four Horsemen was deemed as reality, beings of great brilliance have descent

Scenario: Virtue & Apocalypse - The rise of the new faces of Evil upon the defeat of the Seven Deadly Sins births the Horsemen, beings of pure chaos. On your path of vengeance, you meet the killers of your predecessors, Archangels belonging to the Heavenly Virtues. Gabriel of Diligence, Michael of Charity, Azrael of Patience, and last but not least Raphael of Humility

Outcome: Upon triggering this scenario you can no longer advance as your vessel’s blood boils in anger at the sight of your foes]

"These pesky Demons are at it again. I didn’t think they’d ever crawl from that pit... when we slayed most of the Sins!" Raphael couldn’t help but taunt his foe instead of standing his ground which led to his wings unknowingly melt

"Everyone scatter!!!" They quickly noticed Famine’s noxious gas and as Raphael fell he tried to recover his flight but was cornered by Blake’s poison

"I’ll handle him, the two of you can decide to with the rest. Kyo Min-soo isn’t picky with his enemy. Well then good luck everyone," The poison encircling Raphael melted the ground creating a colossal pit and Blake joined him in his descent

"I guess I’ll pick Azrael–"

"Let me fight him," Jin blocks her way by extending his left arm blocking her from advancing

"Kid I know you’ve read about them so if you face the Virtue of Patience, the chances of you winning are slim,"

"Are you telling me to fight Michael? Isn’t that a little–"

"Crazy? I get that a lot. But you’re chances of winning are higher compared to facing Azrael. I know you want to prove yourself. Now’s not the time to be egotistical. I ain’t asking you as your master’s friend. This is an order from the Vice captain... I don’t care if you can’t get a flawless victory. Staying alive is enough. You’re not a slave, you’re his disciple,"

"Whatever, just do it!" She was oddly calm even though she detested his order but graciously accepted upon hearing her master’s wishes

’Good girl. If it were Morris I bet he’d encouraged her to go full-on suicidal. I think she knew that as well. But then again would my friend be happy if the pawn he worked tirelessly to develop died so easily? I guess in a way my response had a little bit of truth, I’ll make sure to do this as quickly as possible, you owe me one Jackass!’

Kurenai lunges forth and drags Azrael along with his descent, leaving Quon all alone Michael the leader of the archangels. Kyo Min-soo recovered from Gabriel’s thrashing and he returned all that he’d suffered twofold by slamming Gabriel to the ground. The Knight of Conquest was left all alone with the Virtue of Charity giving her all the space she needed to call for her army

"I call upon the vengeful, the unrest, the souls who renounced their wills upon facing downfall, I order thee, Arise!!!" From her shadows, skeletal figures arose one after the other, big or small, all shapes and sizes, appeared at the call of their lord
