Chapter 243: War of Sin and Virtue (2)

Eria / Gryphon Nest

The home of the Valkyries. A mansion occupied by a total of nine Valkyries.

There were actually ten of them in the present time. With one that hasn't been home in a long time counted.

The sisters finally reunited in full member. Of course Diana was happy with that.

However, her sisters did not like the idea of her bringing Ars to Floor 3. 

"We thought you were ordered to search for Sword Saint."

That was they said to her. 

To make matters worse, they found out that Diana was already owned by Ars.

"This group does not need an owned Valkyrie."

Those cruel words were given to her as exclusion.

__________

Palace of Fafnir /

But Diana could not be mad at them. They once vowed to dedicate only their soul and body to the Saints, and themselves.

That doesn't mean they forbid themselves to love. They even sleep with each other, which makes them gay.

It was just, their self-imposed rules had made them resent the idea of depending on men.

The reason why they want to be under Troy's orders is because Jeanne, the Spear Saint, supports Troy as king.

Now the nine of them is on the sky. Fighting the horde of Red Wyvern. 

Black Hunter's attack has been going on for some time. It started a little while ago.

~

"Those wyverns, where they came from?!"

Continuing to chat with Cinderella made Alexander unaware of the Black Hunter troop attack.

That was so sudden. The tiring and boring army of Eria surprised and got overwhelmed by the attack. 

"What's Frida doing?"

Frida should know that there was an attack coming to the city. 

Then Alexander realized, that Cinderella was not alone coming to the palace area. 

"Realizing something, Loki boy?"

"Who went to Frida's place?"

"It's Blade. The Virtue of Humility. Sin of Pride natural enemy."

Blade. If the Sword Saint didn't exist, he should be crowned as the strongest swordsman. 

Frida could not fight, but Jeanne is with her. However, Jeanne is not someone who could withstand a fight with Blade-class sword users.

"Thinking of changing places with the Spear Saint. Please. But I will not guarantee the life of your master."

The situation was really tough on their side. They have no choice but to face and solve their own problems.

"Then, why don't you do it right away? Judging from your abilities, isn't it easy for you to go to Master's place?"

"Yes. It's easy for me to go to anywhere else. But, you have an ace card in your hand that can make you win against me, right?"

Alexander's ability is powerful. But it was not effective against strong Arts users like Ars and Alexander.

However, there is one form that Alexander keeps and will only use in life and death situations, and when his victory is certain.

"All right, since you are a coward and letting girls to move first, here I come!"

Cinderella charging forward to Alexander in cloud-like form. 

Alexander transforms into Green-hood Snake. A Snake Monster that can emit deadly poison fumes.

Green-hood Snake Alexander emits deadly poison to the room. Deadly green smoke versus cloud-like being. Of course the winner is Cinderella.

"Get your filthy bad breath out of my breath space."

Cinderella holding a fan, then fan the room in front of him.

"[Cloud Arts Elegant Wind: Fuck Off from the Beauty]!"

Cinderella sends out a stormy level wind. The stormy wind wiped away the poisonous area and everything behind it.

The Black Hunter group finally starts their attack. 

They begin by sending a horde of wyvern to fight against the Valkyries. Then they give a surprise attack; an army of black armored knight appeared from the empty buildings of Eria. 

The attack was so sudden, but Eria's defense force could manage to defend the city. Even though the Valkyries seemed to get overwhelmed by the wyverns. 

It divided Diana's worries; to her sisters, and to Ars.

There is already Alexander, a Sin just like Ars, who protected the palace. With his present, only a Virtue was able to break through his guards.

But Ars wives still wanted to defend Ars with their power. Just in case if Alexander got overwhelmed or even got defeated. 

The line of the defenses consist of Huxian's slaves ten Platinum ranked muscular men, Skadi, Diana, and Arlene.

Huxian and Elisa were inside the room with Ars. They are a healer and buffer of the team. 

It was their first time uniting force.

Their relationship with each other was bad since Ars fell into a coma. 

Even so, that doesn't mean they will refuse to work together to protect their loved ones.

Huxian's slaves and Skadi are on the front line. Arlene with Black Sky Spine is their arrow. Diana was there to make use of her Divine Wind Art and strengthen the defence and the attack of the team. 

However, once again, because of the Valkyries tense condition, Diana could not focus on her position. 

For a few times, she peeked into Eria's sky, where her sisters were fighting.

"You can go and help them if you want, Diana."

Suddenly, Arlene gives a suggestion for Diana. 

They hadn't spoken in quite a while, and that was the first thing Arlene said to start a conversation.

"I didn't mean to cast you out. But I think this team is enough to protect Ars. There is also Alexander on the first floor. Meanwhile, on Valkyrie's side, they got overwhelmed because there was not an Art user in their group. 

At this rate, they might lose, and the Wyverns would break through the city. If that happens, the palace will also be in danger. Because of that..."

"I understand."

There was no need for further explanation to give to a veteran warrior like Diana. 

She without a doubt walks to the balcony and takes out the Gryphon Whistle. 

She calls out Gryphi. The Gryphon rocketing from the sky to Diana's side. 

She was about to enter a battlefield without carrying a weapon. The wind is her weapon. 

Before going to help the Valkyries, she has a word for Ars' defense force.

"My sisters is important. But Ars and you girls are my top priority. So, if something unexpected happens, call me."

Arlene nodded at that offer.

After that, Diana dashed to the battleskyfield. 

In an instant after Diana's departure, a rumble suddenly shocked the palace.

"What happened?!"

"Did enemy come to this place and Alexander fight against them?!"

That was the most likely thing that could happen in that situation.

The enemy finally realized Ars' absence and came to aim for his life.

Sure enough, a cloud of white smoke emerged from the balcony. A man with only a body and a head rode the white smoke.

He showed a gruesome smile when he found a group of guards guarding a certain room.

"There you are."
