Endless Horde: Through the Eyes of a Godking

ROOOOOAAAARRRR!!!

The Undead Bone Dragon roared in pain and anger. Ghastly green flames billowed from its mouth as it tried to torch the annoying pests that kept feigning and biting its body.

Unfortunately, the breath of flames didn't go very far. It failed to hurt anybody due to Lissandra and Filius's protection.

Old Man Jin ran on the air as if it were a flat and solid surface. He leapt on the bone dragon's spine and began hacking its joints without holding anything back. However, the hardness of this thing's bones and the apparent lack of flesh caused the old man's lips to twitch in irritation.

His sword was sharp enough to leave deep gashes, but aside from the toughness of the bones, it also had incredible regenerative properties that rendered his efforts useless.

Fiona was there with him; she kept punching a particular area on the bone dragon's wings in an attempt to bring it down. Each punch she sent resonated deep into the thing's marrows, causing it great discomfort. Her face was particularly sinister, as she didn't let up with her assault. She too discovered the absurd regenerative abilities of the bone dragon, so she couldn't stop.

While these two were at it, Raven, Cassandra, and Anthony sieged the bone dragon directly. From the sheer comparison of size, they were truly like annoying flies to it.

Raven had impressive crow wings flapping behind him to assist him with his flight. He flew at the speed of sound, sending out feathers that embedded themselves on the bone dragon's body and injecting it with a powerful corrosive acid, which, again, was neutralized by the impressive regenerative abilities of the foe.

Cassandra competed with the bone dragon using storm laws. She summoned a typhoon that greatly inhibited the flight of the bone dragon, essentially caging it in one place. She would also send down lightning from time to time, wanting to smite the creature down, but to no avail.

And Anthony's approach was more direct. He summoned humongous metal chains that appeared out of nowhere.

These absurdly large metal chains had tapered ends, which pierced the dragon's body. As soon as it attached itself to the creature, the sheer weight of chains brought it down. The chains then wrapped around its limbs, greatly restricting its mobility; he even wrapped the creature's maws with the chains to prevent it from breathing more fire.

Finally managing to bring the creature down to the ground, the High Marshals thought that things would become easier from here on out. But the creature proved them wrong.

Ghastly green flames once again showed up. This time, the bone dragon didn't breathe it out. Instead, the flames erupted from its body. It burned Anthony's chains to nihility and even had a fierce backlash that caused him injuries.

Then, its regenerative abilities kicked in, and once again, the bone dragon regained its arial supremacy. The wrath's sin mark on its chest flared ominously, and everyone felt its domineering rage.

The creature then folded its wings and spun several times in the air, rising beyond the clouds and forcing the humans on its back to retreat. It went out of everybody's sight for a bit before it returned, crashing down like a world-ending meteor, and its target was obviously human territory.

Everyone's eyes were constricted upon seeing this. They instinctively knew they had to do something quick, or else it would be too late for them to save their home from certain destruction.

That's when Fiona suddenly appeared on top of the walls. She solemnly looked at the giant creature, who's heading straight towards her like a falling comet.

She firmly planted her heels on the ground and twisted her upper body to gain momentum. Time seemingly slowed down to crawl for her as she wound up her strength, focusing all of it on her knuckle-covered fist.

Upon entering a certain distance away from the territory, Fiona suddenly disappeared from her spot and reappeared right in front of the creature. She released a heroic roar and put her everything with that punch.

BOOOOOMM!!!

The very fabric of space warped from the impact. All sound was absorbed and released seemingly at the same time. Fiona's counterattack sent the creature crashing down in the opposite direction. The strength behind her punch almost shattered the eastern wall behind her, even though the impact happened a fair distance away from it. This just shows how mind-blowingly powerful that clash was.

After receiving the attack, everybody heard the pained roar of the Undead Bone Dragon. That punch also shattered its skull, but once again, it was saved by its ridiculous healing rate.

Fiona didn't come out unscathed from this.

She was exhausted in both mind and body. It's already a miracle that she could even stand in the air at this point. More importantly, her entire right arm was banged up from that punch. It's clear that she herself couldn't handle the output of strength she used earlier, and that resulted in this. Only a thin piece of her right arm bone remained, with bits and pieces of flesh.

Seeing this, Filius immediately tried his best to heal her. However, both of them knew that this would certainly take time, something that they unfortunately do not have right now since they know that this battle isn't over yet.

That's when a beam of violet light descended upon Fiona's body. And to everybody's amazement, her right arm began regenarating at an incredible pace.

Fiona wore a look of disbelief, as did Filius. They then turned to the source of this light, and to their shock, it was coming from Erica, who resolutely stood still on top of the eastern walls, her eyes closed in concentration.

What's even more shocking is that, even as she healed Fiona's arm, the magical circles above her never stopped firing magic missles and never missed.

Within 30 seconds, Fiona's right arm was restored to its peak; the only thing missing were her knuckles, which Erica sadly couldn't regenerate. She then opened her eyes, looked at Filius, and said,

"I can do this all day. Punch all you want, and I'll fix you up as many times as you wish."

Filius and Fiona cackled happily after hearing her claims. At this point, all doubts were gone. Her words were backed by action, not giving them any chance to refute them. They didn't bother asking either, because she's entitled to her secret.

Seeing that she's restored and knowing that Erica wouldn't dare say these words to her without the skill to back them up. Fiona grinned fiercely before diving back into the fray. Filius remained behind them to control the damage with Lissandra.

**

During the time that Erica was healing Fiona, the Undead Bone Dragon got up to its feet, feeling ashamed and angry, obviously.

It never would've imagined that these tiny ants could erupt with such strength to neutralize their previous attack. It obviously underestimated them, which added even more to the shame and rage it felt. This was made obvious by the insignia on its chest flickering with intense light.

This insignia held a deeper meaning than everyone thought. It wasn't a mere tribal marking or a tattoo. This insignia was the source of its sin, the Wrath's Sin. The more enraged the bone dragon was, the more power it could tap from this mark.

Whether this mark could be neutralized or eliminated wasn't something known for right now, though.

But, despite the bubbling rage of the Undead Bone Dragon, it failed to recognize that one of the tiny ants it loathed happened to be nearby. It leapt up to its massive body under the radar, shrouded in an invisible mist.

Looking closely, it was a lady with long dark-green hair wearing a gorgeous jet-black gown. She kept her body low and ran on the dragon's spine until she reached the vertebra that connected its nape to its head. Then, she brought out a cauldron filled with jet black liquid, which she unceremoniously dumped on that section of its body.

As soon as its contents were emptied, she dissipated like a ghost, as if she were never there in the first place. She did all of this without the Undead Bone Dragon noticing her at all.

The only ones who saw her doing this were the High Marshals, and they obviously wouldn't say anything. But they do wonder what exactly she dumped just now. Whatever it was, it didn't seem to have any effect on the bone dragon, though.

Old Man Jin didn't care about any of this. Siezing the time where the bone dragon was still distracted, he raised his sword and cleaved down, slicing one of its wings to hopefully prevent it from flying once more.

ROAAAAARR!!

An agonized roar of pain escaped from the bone dragon's maws, followed by a pitiful whine that nobody thought they'd ever hear from it. The bone dragon itself looked surprised, but the debilitating pain occupied most of its mental faculties.

"Well, that was easier than before." Old Man Jin himself was surprised as well. Then, the lady's actions earlier surfaced in his aged mind.

"Was it because of what she did?"
