Leave Me Alone, Heroines!

Meanwhile, Leislet reached the elevator and quickly left the place. For some reason, no one followed her or tried to stop her while she was running back to the exit which was pretty weird and frankly made her even more wary and suspicious.

But, nevertheless, she left the ship and immediately jumped out of the elevator mid-air without waiting for it to reach the ground.

Her face was contorted with a growing frown and her anger was on the brim of making her go nuts. She had never been this pissed before in her life.

\'Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! I ruined it. Dammit! This was within the realm of expectations but it\'s still so frustrating. I was powerless. Now, we have to fight back even though we would most probably lose.\' She thought to herself with clenched teeth.

Then, after landing down, a swarm of news reporters, hunters, and army soldiers came running toward her.

Then, they surrounded her and started asking all kinds of questions. However, the most frequent question they asked is.

"What happened?"

Leislet didn\'t answer immediately as she sighed under her breath with a defeated look before shaking her head as an answer.

The people there fell silent as they looked at her response with all kinds of emotions. Disappointment, fear, nervousness, and also a hint of determination. It was all a blind of many feelings that made them feel their minds threatening to explode.

Then, without waiting, she walked past them and said.

"Tell everyone to prepare for war. Every empire, city, and even region should participate. We don\'t have time." She said and then left the area without waiting for them.

It didn\'t take a few minutes for the news to spread to every corner of the world. The war is officially starting.

Kings and emperors from every country made speeches and spoke to their people. They had no choice but to make everyone participate. Of course, children, some women, and elderlies will not fight but anyone else is obliged to.

Luckily, the sense of patriotism is strong for most of the people so they were more than happy to help their countries and their world.

Meanwhile, everyone kept an eye on every ship from the invaders. Days passed and even then, there was no suspicious movement from them. Hell, even the clones didn\'t move a single inch for two weeks or so after that.

It was all quiet, but the tension was over the roof. A calm before the storm in a sense.

***************************

Evernight City, The Melody Of Dreams Bar, Acht was in his room. He didn\'t leave in the past 14 days, not even once.

After hunting those night lurkers, he returned and started training like a madman. He was aware that he had no time to waste at all.

Every hour, minute, and even second was crucial since the war was basically around the corner.

He had an idea about the situation outside and could already see how this war will ensue

Forget about war, this will be a one-sided massacre. The Lower World simply can\'t face these invaders.

They were better in strength, technological advancement, and even in morals.

The only chance for this world to come out victorious is for some kind of godly miracle to happen. Other than that, their chances were basically close to zero.

As he thought about what happened in the previous period of time, he stood up and walked to the window to take a look outside.

He had grown this habit since the appearance of the clones. He didn\'t want to get attacked when he least expected it.

Being fully wary and on edge all time was his best weapon for now.

As he was like that, he heard a knock on the door. He already felt this person\'s aura as they came here.

​ "What?" He asked.

Jack, who was standing outside, replied.

"You haven\'t left your room in a few days so I thought that something was wrong." He said.

Acht didn\'t know how to react to such concern. It seemed Jack was genuinely trying to create some kind of friendly relationship with Acht. But, he was failing miserably.

As Acht was about to make him leave, his eyes caught a glimpse of a weird scene.

He turned around and focused completely on the dark sky that lacked any stars.

However, what was important now was that the clones started moving.

These creatures that didn\'t budge for even a moment during almost 17 days had finally made movement.

They started spreading across the whole city. Their speed was slow for some reason.

Acht didn\'t wait to see what would happen as that was not something that he would like, definitely.

He ran to the door and basically kicked it open, breaking it in the process before eyeing Jack and saying.

"The clones, they moved."

Then, he sprinted out of the mansion and into the streets.

By the time he left, people noticed the anomaly too, and quickly, a huge amount of people came out with all kinds of weapons in their hands as they prepared themselves for the worst.

Each one of them was scared, unbelievably scared. But, in between that fear was a clear resolve…a resolve to protect their homes, their families, and also their pride.

This is their world and if they don\'t protect it and work together to keep it safe and peaceful, then who would do that?

Acht felt slight admiration for their bravery before looking back at the clones and coldly glared at them.

He started channeling his soul force secretly as he waited silently.

No one tried to do anything. Even the generals of the army that were basically in full control of the people didn\'t order them to attack. The time was still not there.

Then, after seconds that felt like long hours, the clones halted again and looked down at the city with their emotionless looks.

Then, basically, at the same time, they all raised their hands up in the air before a huge amount of energy that couldn\'t be measured at all started accumulating on top of them.

Everyone watched as the energy grew bigger and bigger with each passing moment like a huge tsunami wave gaining momentum with each passing second.

The generals then looked back at their soldiers and shouted loudly.

"Attack!!!"

As if their words were like an alarm, people woke up from their trance and pointed their guns and soul artifacts at the clones.

*BLAST* *BLAST* *BLAST*

Thousands of bullets were shot at the same time. For a split second, the whole sky was illuminated with the light coming from these energy bullets.

The clones didn\'t wait either as their preparations were complete and they shot their energy balls down like a falling meteor.

Acht felt the upcoming explosion from two unbelievably huge energy attacks and immediately summoned Ooze before creating a barrier in front of him.

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMM*

A loud explosion that made the sky rumble and the buildings sway left and right violently ensued in the middle of Evernight\'s dark sky.

The clash between these two polar opposite energies was so strong that for a split second, the space was distorted.

Obviously, the after-effects of such a clash were disastrous.

A massive storm, the size of the whole city fell down on the soldiers.

"Ugh!!" Acht clenched his teeth as he dug his legs deeper into the ground to try and stop himself from flying away at almost 180 miles an hour.

However, even with his monstrous strength that was now stronger than before, he didn\'t hold for two seconds before was also swiped away by the raging storm.

Soldiers all around him were also blown away with no possible resistance to be made.

\'Fuck!\' He cursed as he immediately called Ooze again and did something that he had never done before.

Something that only his current self could barely pull off.

He made Ooze stretch out as quickly as he could. In less than 3 seconds, the liquid turned into a blanket-shaped object the size of Evernight.

Then, he moved it to the other end of the city before putting it down. He did all of this in less than 4 seconds.

Because of this, the flying soldiers hit this soft blanket made out of Ooze and greatly reduced the hit from this explosion.

Thousands of soldiers found themselves laying on a soft fiber. They thought that their death was set in stone as they were blown away.

"What is going on?" Someone muttered as he stood up in a daze.

Everyone looked around them in confusion. Even when they looked behind them, there was no trace of the blanket.

They didn\'t also notice who pulled that off.

\'If it wasn\'t for the fact that you lot will be somehow useful, I would have not had to waste my energy on you. Fuck!\' Acht thought to himself with a frown as he wiped some sweat from his face.

\'But, this is only the start. There is still more to come.\'
