The War Continues

{two hours later}

“Jeez, it took forever to get our forces through the nodes!” I said exasperatedly.

"Well it's possible John's army is still traveling to the battle," Luna said as we arrived in the city to see a few exhausted Magikills sitting around.

“SOLDIERS WHAT HAPPENED HERE?” I asked the Magikills.

"We're tired from teleporting all 50,050 troops of the emperor's army to the border to fight the demons army, but we still might have enough energy to send you three if you want?" One of them replied with a female voice.

(1hour 40 minutes earlier)

"Great job creating that spell Merlin now once we create a gate or something that can use the spell automatically we can it will be a great assist," I told Merlin, and he nodded his head in appreciation.

"Now then Have the Magilills make their minions, they will be the first line of defense," I told him before he walked away.

"And what if us your majesty?" Kefla asked as she stood between the rest of my new generals except Will Smith, he wasn't meant for combat.

I had a total of ten thousand of each combat unit, plus 50 healers scattered around the army

"So how far away are they?" I asked.

"From what we have gathered at least 10 miles most of the army is mostly made of the larger ones that Kylie fought before plus a large red-winged demon leading them," Kefla told me.

"Good the more we know about our enemy the better the minions will charge the enemy first, speartons will take a defensive position, and make sure they don't outflank us, Atlas you summon your minions as well, Elisabeth go to your archers well need you to lower their numbers, and to take out that demon if he takes to the air. Alexander I trust you, and your troops to deal with demons that break through the speartons." I said, and he nodded before quickly running off. "Jessica try to help however you can, and don't get hurt," I said, and she bowed while she put a hand on her chest.

"Yes, your majesty." She said before standing upright and walking off.

"I will take my spot at the front of the army," Kefla said before she started to walk off, but I said.

"Are you sure you should be at the front?" I asked her.

"Yes, I had acquired a new skill that will be most useful it is called honor guard." She said then a screen popped up in front of me.

Would you like to see information on honor guard Y/N

I pressed Y then another screen popped up

Honor guard

A skill that requires a shield, and when used in a shield wall it creates a magical barrier that combines the defenses, and effects of all shields in the shield wall

After looking at it I nodded at Kefla, and she walked off I sorted for her she was the first unique one I created so I almost thought of her as a daughter.

I drew my sword, as I saw the army 3 times the size of mine marching over the horizon.

I approached the front of the army just behind the Speartons as they formed a shield wall, that was a mixture of colors.

The demons army started to charge as they saw my army, and once they were in range the 50,050 minions ran between us towards the demons as arrows, and spell flew past them hitting the demons, and destroying their formation just enough for the minions to take advantage of it.

'Ok, everything is going good so far.' I thought then something took to the air, it was at least 9 feet tall with two swords .

He was flying towards me then a volley of arrows were fired at him, but then they got close they either burst into flame or did absolutely nothing to him.

I ran in front of my army so I could deal with him myself, then as he got close he landed on the ground not far from me, as it drew its swords.

'Why do I always get the big one?' I thought as he roared before charging me.

'Well, no use complaining now.' I thought as I held my sword in front of me as I held it with both hands.

He swung both his swords at once but I blocked with my sword, and instead of his swords melting I was forced to one knee.

He roared in my face which made me smell his horrible breath. "What have you been eating!" I yelled nearly barfing, as I managed to roll to the side.

After his sword hit the ground I kicked him in the face, but it didn't seem to do much as he came at me again.

I swung my sword, and a slash of bright red energy was launched at him, it explained on contact, and I saw him fly out of the smoke unharmed.

'Come on.' I thought then decided to resort to magic, as I put a hand to the ground as a spike made of stone sprung from the ground, to stab its wing.

It worked, and now it was grounded.

I got back on my feet, then sheathed my sword knowing magic was more effective.

"Finally someone who knows how to have fun?" The demon said" as his injured wing burst into flames before it was completely healed.

'Fire huh let's try ice magic on him.' I thought as I spread out my arm the shards of ice started to form around me, then launched themselves at the demon.

Many of them managed to hit but some of them melted before they could hit.

When my attack was finished shards of ice stuck out of most of his body but they soon melted and he healed as if nothing happened.

'If I can't kill him I might have it capture him alive.' I thought as his and my army soon collided, and the speartons shoved their spear thought the barrier into the demons.

The demons ignored me, and him as they moved around us not caring. "So 1 on 1 i thought you would call in your minions," I said.

"I like a fair fight it's more fun that way." He said before charging me.

I drew my sword again and deflected his attacks as best as I could but even with my time 10 strength, he was still stronger than me.

"After I kill you I'll go see how the battle in Equestria went we had a few hundred with silver weapons she should be feeling like she's burning from the inside out by now." He said with a grin then I dropped my sword tightly as I heard a female voice in my head.

'RAGE activated power level 12.' Suddenly I pushed him off me.

"Oh, you getting angry come on get angry." He said hopping around with a grin.

'Level raised to 17.' I lunged at the demons and swung my sword sending a large wave of energy at the demon.

"You've already tried that do something new." He said as he let it hit him but this time when the smoke cleared he was bleeding badly, and laughed madly.

"Better much better let's keep this going," he said while laughing while he healed.

I pinned him to the ground then proceeded to punch him in the face.

'Level raised to 18.' I punched him again a crater started to form under his head.

'Level raised to 19.' His face started to heal as it burst into flames but I punched him again my fist burned but I didn't care as I punched him again.

'Level raised to 20.' My fist burned even more as I hit him again.

My surroundings faded away as I just kept punching till the pain, as well faded into nothing as well until nothing mattered to me anymore as I felt power continue to course through me with every punch.

All of a sudden a voice broke through the haze. "John, John please snap out of it."

Suddenly my arms were restrained, so I looked to see arms wrapped around me, then I looked behind me to see Kylie with Tears in her eyes as she looked at me with a black eye.

Suddenly everything started to come back into existence as I saw the battle had ended. "Kylie what happened to you?" I asked, and try to put a hand on her cheek but an immense pain ran up my arms as I saw my arms were burned from my hands to halfway up my forearms, and I could feel the broken bones in my hands.

Kylie called for a medic and a whole medical corp of healers showed up and started working on me. "Please help him!" She said worriedly.

Jessica walked up to Kylie before putting a hand on her shoulder. "Don't worry he'll be alright with us." She told her then she healed her eye.

"To answer your question John you elbowed me hard while I was trying to restrain you.." Kylie told me with no clear emotion in her voice but she had a very contemplative look on her face.

"I'm so sorry it's just when he told me he sent hundreds with silver weapons after you, I got so angry that something I hadn't told you activated," I said my voice filled with regret.

"Was it a skill called Blood-Lust?" She asked.

"No it was a skill called rage, the angrier I got the more powerful I became, and I was overwhelmed by it," I said as I looked around to see we were sitting in a rather large crater, and the demons head looked to be smashed to pieces, but still healed extremely slowly.

"Let's go home, John," Kylie said as she walked closer to the demon. Then all of a sudden the demon stood up and grabbed her by the neck.

"Kylie!" I yelled while standing up, then I made a spike appear right below the demon causing it to yell and drop Kylie on her back from seven feet off the ground causing a loud *CRACK* to be heard.

I ran over to her, then my soldiers tackled the demon to the ground before tying him up. "Kylie are you ok?" I asked.

"I, I, I can't feel my legs." She said confusedly.

The healers rushed over to help her." You're going to be ok we'll get you back to the castle so we can make everything better." I said with worry.

"John what if the fall did something to our babies?" Kylie said nearly in tears.

"Don't think that let's just get you home," I said before picking her up.

“I can't help it, that was a hard fall that broke at least 6 vertebrae in my back and severed my spinal cord.” she cried.

"Merlin!" I shouted then he appeared next to me.

"Yes, sir." He said.

"Can you teleport, me and Kylie to the castle?" I asked then he nodded before teleporting us to the castle in moments.

{This Point Of View is under the ownership of: The Overlady Kylie}

As soon as we returned to the castle I immediately called Gnarl for a medical corp of Blues and my handmaidens. When they arrived the Blues took me from John carefully and laid me on my stomach and got to work resetting my spine into place before my regeneration factor could make me unable to walk due to misaligned vertebrae.

John was looking frantically in his spell books for something that could help me as they worked making me nervous that he has no faith in my Blues abilities

“Johnathan Harlock you stop that right now and let my minions do their jobs!” I yelled at him.

"You expect me to do nothing after you were hurt, and after what I did?" He asked.

“I expect you to be a good boyfriend and have patience while the medics do their job,” I said with a surprising amount of calmness.

He took a deep breath before sitting down, and I could see his arms were shaking, my only guess it wasn't completely healed yet. "I'm sorry i just can't relax right now, just everything's happening so suddenly." He said looking at his shaking hands with fear.

A few minutes later the Blues were done fixing my vertebrae and putting them back into place and now it was just a waiting game till I got my mobility back. It felt like hours but was probably just a couple of minutes I regained feeling in my legs and tried to stand up but immediately fell.

John saw this then ran over to me to help me up." Try to be a little more careful, I'll take you to our room so you can rest." He said.

“Thanks, John I guess I'm not back at full strength yet maybe some rest would do me good,” I said feeling tired just from the walk to our room

He laid me down on the bed then took off my armor leaving me naked. "Here you just sleep I'll just um go train." He said.

“Oh no, you don’t you're cuddling with me while I sleep,” I said grabbing his arm.

He looked at me with regret before saying. "I just want to calm myself down my generals should be back soon plus I need to check my level plus I don't think we should have special time right now, and with you, like this, I might not be able to resist." He said.

I pouted. “I just wanted some comfort while I'm in pain nothing more,” I said.

He blushed looking over me again then got into bed next to me before putting the blanket over both of us.

“Night my love,” I said kissing him right before I fell asleep.

(Demon General'sPOV)

"I'm sorry my lord the armies have been defeated, and the leader of the stick people survived," I said as I kneeled with my head held low.

The demon lord was silent before saying. "No matter today we have learned something of great importance, it seems your not as big of a failure as I thought." He said then I brought my head up.

"What do you mean?" I asked and as his shadowy figure floated around.

"You may not have opened the gates but you weakened them greatly, allowing much more powerful demons through the greater fire demon that I sent is proof of that, and now that we can send demons of his caliber, it will be simple to kill that weak fool." He said while clenching his fist.

"And what of the Lycan?" I asked.

"She is mine or deal with Faust gave her blood so mere demons can't kill her so we can't waste resources in her, even so, this emperor is more troublesome his army is growing rapidly, and his warriors are skilled it his he still the weak link since he is mortal, and with him gone his people will be without a leader and the Lycan will only have her small creatures at her side to protect her, and once she is cornered and I am free I will decide what to do with her, and now I will send my demon horde through no more constructs, now these mortals will feel the wrath of the true demon horde."

"And what of me?" I asked then he turned to face me.

"Yes, what about you the one who has failed me time and time again." He said then it felt like my heart was being ripped out of my chest as I fell to the ground but then it stopped.

"But unlike many of my previous generals you have remained loyal to the very end, a trait very rarely seen among our kind." He said then he got on my knee beside me. "So as a reward for your loyalty you will be reborn stronger than you've ever been before." He said then pain engulfed my entire being. "But first you will have to die."

{This Point Of View is brought to you by John}

After Kylie went to sleep I got out of bed to see my level, I was now level 80 a huge jump, and with 420 skill points, I could get whatever I wanted from my skill shop.

I looked for a bit until I saw an interesting one.

magic constructs

Allows the user to create constructs with magic the limits is what you can imagine the mana cost for each construct depends on size and power, but as skill increases mana cost decreases.

I bought it for 20 skill points then continued to search till I found a that sounded rather familiar.

Mana clone

Create a clone from mana can do everything the original can and disappears when killed or dispelled once that happens all its memories return to the caster this can also be used for training to increase the level of separate skills at one or can be used in combat

I bought it for 50 leaving 350 remaining. 'this is going to take a while.' I thought as I continued I had to be ready for anything

' Maybe some passive skills.' I thought as I found several that increased my combat capabilities.

Instinct

It allows the user to predict their opponent's next attack.

psionic protection

It allows the user to negate psychic attacks on their person and mind.

Memory safe combat style

It allows the user to store combative moves they have observed allowing the user to master them.

I bought them for 50points so 300 left I then went back through the skills to try something I could use, then I found something that could be useful.

power of Kings

Grants the ability to wield the ring of Lucii

'Wait what that ring is in the store?' Thought then quickly look for it, and it was there then I looked back at the skill to see it cost 300.

'Well sounds fair consider what it gives me.' I thought then bought then followed by quickly buying the ring.

But something happened when I bought the ring when it landed in my hand, it felt as though I was carrying a heavy burden simpler to how to notice, and Luna felt when they held it in the game.

I put it on then the crystal in the ring glowed and pain engulfed me as I fell to the floor, but I held in my scream careful not to wake Kylie.

I slowly managed to get to my feet, then left the room, as the pain started to fade, a small price to pace for the power the ring grants me.

I quickly went over all the abilities in my head the first spell drains the life force of my enemy, then there is the holy ability that activates when I dodge lastly there is the Alterna a spell that breaks open the fabric of reality to and suck the enemies inside the crystal sphere that appears into a black hole, but this ring could also give me the ability to warp.

I went outside so I could recover from my painful experience then I thought it would be best to use mana clones to train.

I created 10 clones using a lot of mana to do so they wouldn't vanish early then they started doing their thing.

'Now with this, I'll be more prepared now than to interrogate my prisoner.' I thought as I headed towards the dungeon.

(Time Skip morning)
{This Point Of View is under the ownership of The Overlady Kylie}

I woke up in a cold bed. Reaching behind me I found that John wasn't there. I got up and called for my handmaidens.

“Yes, mistress. What can we do for you?” They chorused.

“Yes, can you get me one of my dresses and some undergarments I need to find John,” I said smiling at them showing all of my teeth at which they smiled back and went to get me a new dress. When they returned we found a problem even with the sizing enchantment the dress didn't fit because I had started to gain a belly.

“What should we do Mistress?” Three of my handmaidens chorused but Angela had a thoughtful look on her face.

“What is it, Angela? You know you can speak freely with me.” I said with a kind of a smile as I could in my Lycan form.

“What if we sent for Snips to make something special for you that would stretch while your belly stretched? That way we won't run into this problem again in the coming days.” to say that my smile was from ear to ear wouldn’t be an exaggeration.

“Ah, Mistress what can Snips do for you today? Do you need another new dress to entice the future mate?” he asked as he walked into the room.

“Not exactly. I need a dress that will stretch as my belly gets bigger throughout my pregnancy.” I told the tailor minion.

“Ah yes I already made something for this." He said pulling a black dress with an exposed belly out of nowhere.

I tried it on with the help of my handmaidens and I couldn't help but squee. “*SQUEE* Its perfect Snips and the open belly gives me room to grow out,” I said hugging him to my chest and jumping up and down.

“Mistress can't breathe.” Snips said as I looked down and he looked more like a Blue than a Green. Seeing this I let him go and apologized.

“Snips sorry again. Ladies attend me we are going to find John!” I ordered as I started loping out of the room followed closely by my handmaidens floating after me only to bump into someone right outside my room it was Kefla. “I'm sorry Kefla I was in a hurry and wasn’t looking where I was going.”

"No worry where are you going anyway?" She asked me as she recovered, then dusted herself off.

“To find John he wasn't in bed with me when I woke up so I decided to go look for him,” I replied.

"He's in the dungeon interrogating the demon." She told me.

“Well, maybe I should just wait until he comes back up,” I said

"And he's been down there all night." She added.

“Oh well someone needs to go get him.”

"I'll take you down there, but I saw something strange, when he went down there, he wore a strange ring?" She said as she started walking.

Knowing what I did about him and he only wore functional jewelry I decided to probe Kefla for more information. “What did the ring look like?” I asked.

"It was mostly black and but it also has a copper rim but it was too far away to pick out the finer details." She said.

“Did you see a diamond on it?” I asked, then she nodded her head. Panicked I started running towards where his scent was strongest but then all of a sudden his scent stopped.

"Why are you running?" Kefla asked me as she caught up.

“Because that ring has a sacrifice clause attached to it!” I said in a panic starting to hyperventilate.

"I'm sure he knows about this, and has prepared but let's hurry to be sure." She said as she ran in front of me till we reached the dungeon, then screaming could be heard but it wasn't Johns.

I ran towards the screaming and saw John using the life drain ability on the demon.

"For the last time tell me what you know!" John yelled as he used it again as the glowing cracks spread across his arm but when he stopped they slowly healed and when I looked at the demon he looks like he was nothing but skin and bone nothing like it was in the game.

“John you’re killing the demon you have to stop before you are no better than them,” I said trying to get him to stop before it was too late.

He looked at me for a moment before turning back to the demon, and after taking a deep breath he sat down on a vacant chair as his arm healed. "He refuses to talk." He simply said.

“John let me take a crack at him I have a feeling that I can get him to crack,” I said with a menacing smile.

"You won't break me." The demon struggled to say.

“Really because I have a group of minions that specialize in torture and information gathering.” I threatened and yet the demon just glared at me and said nothing. “Angela come in here and bring the others in with you!” I ordered harshly. All four of them rushed into the cell and lined up with Angela right next to me.

“What are your orders Mistress?” They all chorused.

“Find out what this demon knows but don't kill it. Report whatever you find directly to either me or John no one else!” I ordered then grabbed John by the hand and led him out of the cell and back towards the main floor of the castle.

We were almost there when the screaming started. “PLEASE! STOP! NO MORE! I CAN'T TELL YOU!” The demon screamed.

"So I got a few new skills while you were asleep," John told me.

“Oh, what are they other than the Ring of Lucii? Which by the way i think is too dangerous to use.”

"Magic constructs, Mana clone, instinct, psionic protection. Memory safe combat style and the one that allows me to use the ring is power of Kings, and while it is dangerous the power it offers is undeniable." He told me.

“I don't want you using that power until we can be sure it won't kill you. I don't want you dying and leaving our pups without a father.” I said starting to cry.

He put a hand on my cheek and looked me straight in the eye with tears in his eyes as well. "I know you're worried about me and the pups, but I'm trying to make a world where they can live in peace, and you might hate me for saying this but if I have to sacrifice myself to ensure that my beautiful wife and children can have a good life then I will, your immortal Kylie I'm not someday I will grow old and die and leave you alone, but I want to make sure you are happy even after I'm gone." He said then kissed my forehead before taking his hands off my cheek. Reeling back I slapped him so hard that I wouldn't doubt the sound was heard throughout the whole city.

With tears welling up anew in my eyes. “You idiot!” I screamed and ran off away from him.

{This Point Of View is brought to you by John}

After Kylie ran off I was overwhelmed with guilt, but I had told her the truth, and when I wanted to go after her my legs froze.

I decided to go outside to clear my head but even then guilt still raged through my mind as I sat on a tall wall with my legs over the side, then I started to get tired from staying up all night.

I rubbed my eyes then looked at my room's window to see Kylie’s figure in it. 'Maybe I shouldn't have said that even if it was the truth.' I thought as I looked back at the ground, and at my ring, I could hear faint whispers in my mind ever since I put it on but I mostly ignored them until now.

They were too faint to make out but they were still there, and I regretted ever buy it so I tried to take it off only to see it was somehow permanent.

I was too tired to care about that, as I closed my eyes to try to take a quick nap.

{This Point Of View is under the ownership of The Overlady Kylie}

I ran and ran and ran until I got back to our room then I flung myself on the bed and continued to cry.

After I finished crying I got pissed at John for how inconsiderate he was then I started to berate my unborn children for their father’s actions then I went back to crying because I saw that I was being irrational.

I walked over to the window and looked out over the city seeing how beautiful it was in the light of day. Looking out to the walls I could just barely see a figure sitting down on the wall. ‘I wonder if that’s John?’ I thought.

I looked down at him with regret before thinking ‘I should go down there.’ I did just that and a few minutes later I was standing right below him. “HEY JOHN!” I yelled up to him.

He didn’t respond so I climbed up to see him sleeping soundly but the tear trails along his face were obvious to anyone that took a close look. Seeing this I just picked him up and jumped down making a crater where I landed. I then proceeded to carry him to our room and place him on the bed then I got in next to him and just laid there enjoying his company even if he was sleeping, and just before I closed my eyes his arms wrapped themselves around me, and I heard him mutter. "I'm sorry."

“All’s forgiven, my prince,” I said
