Chapter 127 Around the World.
(In Germany, Berlin)
The demons had taken the capital city even though there were more than ten thousand Awakeners there and hundreds of Chosen Ones. They fought and lost, but unlike in the United States, the Awakeners and Chosen Ones decided to retreat and planned to do a counter-attack later. They wanted to slow down the demons from advancing rapidly and quickly until reinforcement came.
The West, Central, and East Europeans were working together to prevent the demons from taking over another country. They blockaded Germany to prevent that from happening. They also assisted and rescued people in Germany, and they did it smoothly without a single problem.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
"Good morning, Magnus," A man in black armor entered the tent where Magnus stayed.
The man's name was Schneider, and he was a Chosen One like Magnus, and he was Tyr's Chosen One. Tyr was a God of War in Norse mythology, but he was more than just a God of War. Tyr upheld justice that he could be called a divine jurist and divine punishment.
Schneider was blessed with the black armor by Tyr, and also the long sword on his back. He was the reason why chaos could be controlled, and his insight played a huge role in the situation as well. People said that as long as he was there, everyone would feel safe even in a dire situation like that.
"You managed to get some sleep?" Magnus asked as he sat on the camp bed with a tired voice of his own. "Looks like you're still as laid-back as ever, Schneids," Magnus said after he realized Schneider was as fresh as ever.
"There's no reason to waste your time by thinking when your body is tired. Try to get some sleep when you can later, for now, let's hunt some demons," Schneider answered and then left the tent.
The sounds of gunfire and explosions could be heard in the distance, and they had been bombarding Germany with missiles and mortars. They used fighter jets and heavy machine guns, and they even used battleships and were stationed on the north sea and baltic sea to destroy Germany. It was impossible for anyone to get some sleep, and yet Schneider wasn't bothered by it which surprised Magnus.
"Is there any news about the reinforcement?" Magnus asked as he fixed his pauldrons.
"Italy hasn't responded about the Chosen Ones who entered the Gate. So far, we only have all the artilleries in the neighboring countries and they tightened the defense which is already impenetrable," Schneider answered. "Adelheid is still inside the Gate as well, and we have no idea when she's going to come out," Schneider added.
Schneider had just gotten out of the Gate, and he was with Smith, Ludwig, Wolfgang, and Adelheid. Those five were different from the Valhalla Guild even though they believed in Norse mythology. What made them different was that Nordic countries were blessed by Aesir while Germanics were blessed by Vanir. Schneider was an exception because Tyr liked him and wanted him to thrive and lead the others chosen by Vanir Gods.
"Odin has decided to give me a new power. Something that would help me in the future," Magnus said as he looked at his new spear that resembled Gungnir, a dark gold spear with a tree of life carved on the handle. "Perhaps he wants me to fight the true evil, Mykel, and his team," Magnus pointed out.
"You're not the only one who received such a message. We were warned and encouraged by them to be the ones who will change the world," Schneider said as he nodded his head. "Let's band together, and unite Europe. How about that?" Schneider asked as he looked at Magnus who walked alongside him.
"I'm done trusting someone, but since we both serve the same Gods, that's an exception," Magnus answered as he sighed. "Let's talk about this once this is over," Magnus said.
Schneider nodded and then gathered the others to start the hunt.
(In Africa)
Shanka with Darius and their members were staring at the giant sandstorm that covered the whole city. It was Shanka's doing and prevented the demons from leaving, and if they tried to leave their bodies would be shredded. It was an easy task for him as long as he was surrounded by sand or when the sun was up.
Shanka alone was enough to deal with the breakout, and he gained a lot of levels from just doing that. But he couldn't keep his magic up all day, so Darius and the others had to prepare on fighting the demons.
Zahra could also single-handedly deal with the demons with her summons since they were immortal. She played a huge role there as well, so she maintained the area by letting her summons guard on each side of the city like a guard.
With those two, they had no worries and decided to deal with the demons in the city. They were playing it carefully and slowly since they wanted to contribute to the mission as well. They also tried to rescue people who were stuck in the city so even if they didn't contribute much to hunting, they saved people's lives.
"I heard there are more people who got invited into the Gate on your side. Are they still inside?" Darius asked as he stood on top of the hill with Shanka.
"Yes. I was ordered to find twenty people and bring them to the Gate. A special twenty people that were hard to find, but I managed to get them in time," Shanka answered as he kept his eyes on the city to maintain the sandstorm. "What about you? I heard the same thing," Shanka glanced at Darius.
"He came to me through my dream, and he also asked me the same thing, but he only asked five people. Still need to find two more," Darius answered as he nodded his head. "Also, I was warned about Mykel. He said something about the end of the world," Darius said.
"End of the world?" Shanka asked as he raised his eyebrows.
"Whatever Mykel is doing and what he did, it was said that the prophecy of the end of the world is already happening because of Mykel. I don't know what he meant, but I could feel his anger," Darius answered as he tried to recollect the dream.
"So Mykel is the cause of it, huh? No wonder the God I serve warned me about him as well. He doesn't want me to make any contact with Mykel again until he believes I'm prepared," Shanka said as he looked at the sun.
"We need the whole world to fight him. That's what I know for sure, and I'm thinking that we should work together and create something like the Guild League, but only for our people here," Darius suggested.
"That's not a bad idea," Shanka answered.
(In China)
"So you're useless without your staff?" Han Suk-Jin asked as he looked at Sun Wukong sitting on top of the building with sweat all over his face.
"I did what I could, and my clones are doing good as well down there. I'm going to be rewarded once this is over for saving people's lives, and so my job here is to save them," Sun Wukong answered as he scratched his left ear. "Since you're here as well, why don't you send those armies of yours?" Sun Wukong asked as he looked back and saw thousands of immortal warriors on top of all the buildings behind him.
"If I do that, won't you get to save the people?" Han Suk-Jin asked.
Sun Wukong giggled and then laughed when he heard that, but he nodded his head in agreement.
"But it's already guaranteed that I'm going to be rewarded, so you can hunt those demons now," Sun Wukong answered.
Han Suk-Jin glanced at his immortal warriors and then suddenly all the warriors jumped down the buildings silently. The demons and the Awakeners were surprised when they saw thousands of warriors shrouded in shadow. All the warriors moved so quickly and ran past the humans to hunt all the demons in sight.
Even with thousands of immortal warriors, the demons weren't afraid of them. The demons were still superior in numbers, and they were stronger than the immortal warriors. Although it didn't go as they expected, the immortal warriors were enough to stop the demons from advancing completely.
"Well, at least this is good enough, right?" Sun Wukong asked as he dangled his legs on the edge of the railing.
"What do you mean? You don't know what my skill does, and you only know what you can see," Han Suk-Jin answered as he looked down. "My warriors can get stronger the longer they fight. Battles feed them strength and ability, and this is a perfect opportunity to make them stronger," Han Suk-Jin explained.
"So your warriors are like a real human being?" Sun Wukong asked.
"No, they're better and superior than human beings," Han Suk-Jin answered.
