The World Serpent

Within the Grassy Plains, The Realm of Skirmish finally began. A Figure full-clad with armor gaze in a random direction. The Figure sat upon a Warhorse as he slowly unsheathed the sword under his sheath. The Figure was the General of the Small Army. He was a Strong General with a lot of Feats that accompanied him. He then pointed his sword towards the direction he was gazing at as he shouted with a Serious voice.

"Prepare yourselves. We got company!!!" Hearing his voice, The Small Army turned their heads towards the direction the General pointed his sword at and saw the Enemies heading towards them. It was Three Shadowy Figures running towards them at a fast speed. Seeing their enemies, The Small Army began preparing themselves. A Formation formed within their ranks with the General in the Center.

Across the Grassy Field, One of the Shadowy Figures spoke with a calm voice. "Hmm... That General is intriguing." Her Calm voice had a tinge of interest after the General discovered their location. "It seems that we cannot underestimate the Rites within this Soul Core." Another Shadowy Figure remarked as the Shadowy Figure that found the General interesting chuckled.

"Well, our questions will be answered when we fight them." The Shadowy Figure stopped chuckling as they stopped running towards the Small Army. They stood atop a small hill within the Grassy Plains. Their full Figure finally revealed itself. It was a Lady and Two Young Girls that had a beauty rivaling the Greatest Flowers. The General looked at them as he furrowed his eyebrows and muttered. "Strong..."

The Lady had a Red Crimson Hair that rivaled the Flames of Fury. She also had her gem-like Blue Azure Eyes. Her Pale Skin and her Body would make every man on the land try to marry her. Though, the General knew that despite their beauty. They were dangerous people. That same Lady was holding a Scythe with one hand.

The First Young Girl had White Silver Hair that resembled the Finest Silver. Her Golden Amber Eyes shone brightly as the General could feel an Aura of Domination trapped within her eyes. Despite being a Young Girl, She was also a Beauty that rivaled the Lady. The General shook his head as the Young Girl was carrying a Sword while smirking towards them.

The Second Young Girl with the Intriguing Dark Ashen Hair was also a Beauty. The Girl highly resembled the First One. The General could easily guess that the two of them were siblings. The Second Young Girl held two daggers, and she seemed to be proficient with it. The General had been through numerous wars, and it was under his habit to analyze each of his opponents.

'Three of them with this small army. It seems that the Ancient Building found by the Villagers was a lot more dangerous than expected.' The General thought to himself as he sighed. He was too old to be leading an army, but unfortunately, he was the nearest one in the area. There was nothing he could do about it was he needed to follow the King's orders. It was also dangerous to let an Ancient Building be unattended.

"They are dangerous. Be sure not to underestimate the enemies simply because of their beauty." The General spoke with a Serious voice towards his Soldiers. The Soldiers nodded as they prepared themselves for the incoming battle. 'They aren't taking my words seriously.' The General raised an eyebrow as he always had this same problem with a new army. Though, one war was enough to solve the hassle.

"Anyway, from the look in their eyes. It seems that the diplomatic option isn't possible." The General's Face turned cold as he gazed upon the Three Enemies across the distance. Persia seeing his face chuckled and smirked. "Interesting, It seems that the Test isn't as simple as fighting against some creature created by the test."

"What do you mean?" Statera found herself confused as Ego also turned her head and looked at her Sister with curiosity written all over her face. Persia had a sly smile as she answered with a calm voice. "We will get our answer when we capture that General." Statera raised an eyebrow as she thought that they would kill the General. She then instantly understood Persia's plan after a second of thought.

"I see..." Statera disappeared as Ego followed her. Persia looked at them as she disappeared from her spot with a chuckle. The General, seeing their enemies fading, felt a chill within his spine. He looked at his army and shouted once again. "They are coming, Be sure to not hesitate and strike them with your weapons!!!" The Soldiers prepared their Shields, Spears, Bows, and Swords. A Battle was about to begin.

Persia, Statera, and Ego turned into Shadowy Figures as they began running towards the Small Army. Seconds passed by as the Trio finally arrived in front of the Small Army. The Soldier holding a Spear and a Shield quickly began his Attack. Though unfortunately, He found his head falling from his body as soon as he moved. Numerous Soldiers followed the Attack as the Bloodbath started.

Blood found itself splattered all over the First Line of the Small Army. The General looked at the distance as he gave a signal towards the Archers. Within the First Line of the Small Army, Persia kept swinging her sword as the Screams of the Soldiers kept echoing within her ears. Her sword seamlessly slashed through the armor and shield of her Enemy, which made everything a lot easier for Persia.

'They are quite weak and untrained.' Persia thought to herself as she beheaded one of the Soldiers with her sword. Her sword was blooded beyond relief, though Persia didn't care as she would have a lot of time to clean her weapon after terminating the small army in front of her. Statera spun her Scythe as it cut the Soldiers around her in Half. Ego kept stabbing the heads of the Soldiers while also slashing their throats. The battle was a lot easier than they expected.

"Move to the Second Line, Be sure to protect yourself from the Archers," Persia ordered as Statera and Ego nodded in agreement. Statera and Ego disappeared as Persia took care of the remaining Soldiers within the First Line. "Please don't kill me. I have a family." The Soldier begged for mercy as Persia looked at him and chuckled. "This is a battle between Life and Death. Asking for mercy on the Enemy that you also tried to kill would be quite foolish. Even if it is under self-defense."

Persia beheaded the Soldier with her sword as she looked around the Field she stood on. It was full of corpses from the Soldiers, and the Tall Slick Grass of the Field got bloodied beyond redemption. Persia then looked at the Soldiers and found them incredibly nostalgic. A Word then echoed within her head. "Human..." Persia mumbled to herself as she shook her head and ran towards the Second Line.

The Second Line of the Small Army was a lot harder than the first one. It seems that the Swordsmen within the Second Line knew the basics of the Sword Art. Their Weapons were also a lot harder to break than the First Line, which might make everything harder. Persia arrived within the Second Line as she saw Ego and Statera cutting the Soldiers like Wheat. Though, the Wheat was a lot harder than usual.

"Let's not waste time," Persia spoke with a calm voice as she swung her sword onto the nearest Soldier. The Soldier parried Persia's sword with his sword. Such action made Persia raise an eyebrow. She instantly changed the trajectory of her sword. She then beheaded the Soldier as she nodded to herself after realizing that the Soldiers shouldn't get underestimated.

Persia then began beheading the Soldiers that dared the gang up on her comrades. After 30 seconds of fighting, The Trio finally cleared the Second Line of the Small Army. They found themselves surrounded by corpses with all heads severed from their bodies. Persia sighed as she looked at the Third Line of the Army. It seems that it might take a while to complete the First Realm.

"That took longer than expected. Though, it made me feel the excitement." Statera smirked as Persia shook her head with a smile plastered on her face. Ego looked at her Two Bloodied Daggers as she gazed upon the Third Line of the Army. The Archers were hard to deal with, especially when they were a distance away from the Archers. "Shall we continue, Sister?" Ego asked with a monotone voice as Persia replied with a smile. "No need to ask."

The Trio disappeared from their spot as the General gave the signal for the Archers to fire. The Archers nodded as they had cold expressions plastered on their faces. They saw their comrades getting massacred while they looked at everything from afar. The Archers didn't want to die, so they urged themselves to kill the Three Enemies before death could reach them.

They released the Arrows under their Bows. The Arrows flew to the Heavens as they began falling to the earth once again. The Three Shadowy Figures looked up and saw hundreds of Arrows heading towards them. They began dodging the Arrows without any problems as the General gave a signal towards the Captain of the Cavalry. "Understood..." The Captain nodded as the Cavalry began their charge.

"Cavalry," Persia muttered to herself as they stopped moving. They looked upon the Cavalry heading towards them as Persia pointed her sword towards the Cavalry. "Take them down and leave no one alive." Ego and Statera nodded as they disappeared from their spot. The Cavalry ran with their horses as they pointed their spears towards Ego and Statera. Though unfortunately, against two individuals that knew how to dodge with efficiency. A Cavalry would lose its main advantages.

Statera swung her Scythe with ease as it passed through a Group of Cavalry. It instantly cut a dozen of them in Half. Their Horses even found themselves cut in Half. The Cavalry seeing the Group cut into Half, felt chills. Due to their shock, They didn't notice a shadowy figure jumping towards them while holding two daggers. Ego beheaded the Soldiers on top of the horses without any problems as Chaos sprung up within the Cavalry.

The General seeing the Cavalry breaking apart, couldn't help but grit his teeth. He was disappointed that his army couldn't last long, but it was clear that fighting against Three Strong Individuals with an Army was a foolish thing to do. It seems that the General would have to take care of the problem on his own. He turned his head towards the Archers right beside him and spoke with a calm voice. "Retreat."

The Archers hearing him, couldn't help but turn their heads towards him in shock. The General nodded as every Archer near him felt their bodies losing their strength. They dropped their bows onto the ground as they stood frozen. One of them then began running as it created a wave of fear within the Archer's Hearts. They started running away from the Field as the General stepped out of his horse.

"Though it's too late, I don't want any more lives lost in a losing battle." The General muttered to himself as he held his sword tightly under his fingers. Three Shadowy Figures instantly appeared in front of the General. The General then noticed the Three Women in front of him didn't have a single drop of blood on their clothes. He sighed as he spoke with a stern voice.

"Who are you, Ladies." The General asked as Persia chuckled and smirked. "No need to be stiff. We aren't planning to be hostile." There was a Clear Irony within Persia's words. It was clear that she was teasing the General. Statera shook her head and spoke with a calm voice.. "We will be the ones that will ask you the questions, Human."
