Versatile: Alternate World

I log out a bit and grab a chow before returning back to the game since a day cycle already passed on the game. Now, it is time to fight back. However, I am going to predict that this battle will be similar to the battle during the live stream of the Aquagius Continent Pioneer quest. With only us as the opposing team against an army, this is a clear overkill for us, and not only that but we don't have any chance to call for backup with players this time around due to how I accessed Aquagius due to the peculiarity and special circumstances of the quest that allowed me to arrive here despite the continent are still not on its official release.

This might not be the official Aquagius Pioneer Quest, but since the enemy is Lemis and her awakening form alongside her minions, that is just the same thing for me. Nothing new.

Now, time for the showdown...

...

...

...

"Are you guys ready?" I asked everyone the moment everyone is geared up.

"Yes, Master. Everyone is ready to fight now. We are ready to strike the enemy the moment you issue the next move. Please issue the order," Lina bowed, and behind her are everyone while wearing the armor and equipped with the weapons I specially tuned for their fighting style and to set off to survive our next battle.

"Looks like it is time."

Staring above the skies, I can easily pinpoint a few demonic beasts flying just above us.

"Ha! Would you look at them, they are already welcoming us," Atlas then points up the sky on the flying demonic beasts.

"They aren't hiding their intentions anymore huh, what has gotten with my race? Are they really this dangerous and evil now?" Lucia looks worried just by looking at the enemies.

"Don't worry, Lucia-san, even if they are enemies, you are our precious comrade, no matter what, we will help you know what happened to your race and why they turned into evil," Lina assured Lucia.

"Thanks, Lina-chan. Yes, I will need to stop them, as the princess of the demon kingdom, I have the duty to stop them and what made them evil. Whoever or whatever is causing them like this, I will stop them."

"We will get there, Lucia. We will help you on stopping them. Now, let's go. Before they ruin everything, it's time for us to launch our attacks. We will now be going to the offensive! Leona!"

A strong gust of wind blow as Leona appeared before us, also equipped with different armor and claw weapons I specifically made for her. I already have these things made for her a few months ago after I obtained the Blacksmith Ex Job. Since I didn't have enough materials to properly gear her up, I only have the prototype versions of her armor and weapon. With enough time and materials gathered over time, now, she is fully equipped, ready for war.

"It's time to reclaim the Insect Kingdom!"

...

...

...

"Are they making their move?" Alexandria sits on the throne looked at the demon in front of her who is currently kneeling on the floor with its head bowed down for respect.

"Yes, your Majesty. Currently, they are on their way to the capital. We already sent the elite demons that you have summoned to stop and kill them before they reach you."

"I doubt those demons can do anything no matter how elite they are. Send more troops. Don't underestimate them. Kill everyone but bring the person with the wolf mask alive. I want him dead by my hands no matter what."

"As you command, Your Majesty. Do you have any other job for us aside from those?"

"Just keep a look at the enemy. If you see that we are losing against them, unleash everything we have on them. Don't hold back. Trample them all."

The demon nodded before enveloping itself in smoke before he disappeared. Alexandria is now in full demon form and has already corrupted the insect body, In short, she no longer looks like an insect person, but rather, she is now evolving back to her demon self.

"You all will pay for permanently killing my brother. I am not just going to hold back just because you all are insignificant beings. Today will be the day you will all meet your creator!"

...

SWISH!

A flying Draco beast fell after Lina smashes it with her Morning Star mid-air. It was a quick flier but due to Lina's faster swing, it didn't even get to dodge midflight as a metal ball ended its life.

"The demonic beasts are now too rampant here, it wasn't like this yesterday!" Tina frowned seeing the situation in the skies above the kingdom.

"Let's go and check the situation in the kingdom right now."

I ordered Leona to fly towards the kingdom's gate but I quickly stopped her from doing so when I noticed something.

"Why did you stop, Master?" Lucia asked.

"Throw a [Flame Javelin] below us, Lucia."

"Eh? Why though?" Lucia didn't expect my request.

"I just needed to test something."

Lucia is confused but she didn't disobey my request and conjured one [Flame Javelin] before throwing it directly below us where the Insect Kingdom's residential area is located.

"What are you doing, Manato?!" Tina didn't expect my order.

However, I didn't respond and just let the matter take its course as the [Flame Javelin] came into contact with something invisible before exploding.

"Ah? A barrier?!" Lucia was surprised and Tina who just questioned me received her answer.

"Looks like your sister didn't want us to take the shortcut and wanted us to go the long way," I scratch my head.

"I detected that the main entrance to the kingdom was a battalion of demons. Most of them are common demonic monsters but there are a few humanoid demons who I suspect to be High ranking demons. I have counted at least 5 of them."

I pat Leona and we continue to push towards the entrance. We didn't land directly at the entrance but just hover above it.

"Lucia, drop a few nuke flame attacks to the enemies. It doesn't matter whether it hits a High ranking demon or not, as long as those common demons get annihilated, then it is alright."

"Alright!" Lucia grinned and immediately summons 2 great fireballs on her hands.

"Everyone! Prepare for combat! The moment Lucia has finished releasing her attacks, we go in for the kill. If High Ranking demons appeared, don't hesitate and slice them down!"

"Roger!"

BOOOM!

Countless flames rose up as Lucia conjures and throws the flame attacks without stopping. After a few minutes of relentless attack, Lucia stopped and we landed straight not too far from the entrance of the Insect Kingdom.

On the ground are the toasted demons who got caught by the explosions and flames of Lucia's abilities. It was too much for the demons even if they are well equipped with some armor decent enough to last a fight. Lucia just reduced the danger of the enemies in one go.

The elite demons also suffered injuries but not as fatal as the smaller demons. Due to the strengths of the explosions, it didn't just end the demons, they have been annihilated before the battle began.

I went down and saw two of the elite demons who is struggling to stand up. The other is bleeding profusely in the head while his skin is burned. Without waiting for them to recover and gain some healing progress, I ended their lives in just one stab.

"Everyone, look for more elite demons. If they are not too injured, don't bother fighting it and kill them immediately. No need to talk to them. If they are here, that means they are ordered to kill us. They needed to die immediately."

Tina went next to my side as we look at the previous peaceful place, now, demons are already showing up and are currently trying to swarm our advances.

All of the kingdom's placeS are getting chaotic, the grey sky due to the dark clouds is slowly showing up as red and full of dread. Not only does it feel intense, but I feel like the situation is more than the events of the previous timeline's Pioneer questline for Aquagius. It's much dangerous than usual.

"Master! We have eliminated the elite demons. They tried to resist but they didn't manage to do it and have been killed in the process," Lina reported.

"Let's proceed, the demons might have the upper hand in numbers but that doesn't mean we can't fight every one of them."

I see what she is doing now. With her ability, Lemis is trying to take advantage to get stronger, the more attacks and deaths on her side, the better for her due to how her abilities work as it stacks up. However, it is going to be her source of the problem after all. She no longer cares about everything and decided to kill.. Things just couldn't properly spawn in the process.
