I like them big, do you?

Milkyona's forces started good, then their strength plummeted.

In the beginning, her volcano did an incredible amount of damage. It seared all living shields and allowed humans to break into Infernal Diable's territory.

It was not their territory beforehand, but their presence alone with countless treasures blazing up quickly shifted the world's mana in their favor.

The grass turned red, and sparks popped from time to time.

That was their land!

That land suffered heavy rocks blasted from the volcano. Those rocks flared up in flames and reached the Infernal Diables quickly.

Earth shook many times, eclipsing the war cries, but just a second.

Humans fought bravely with many skills on the line.

Their opponent was fire one, so humans conjured many water skills other than fire magic that their goddess represented.

That was a good try.

It was just a good try...

Infernal Diable's scoffed at those humans. Their infernal flames took the forms of countless spears that lit up the sky. Those spears descended heavily and quickly, rendering all humanity's skills useless.

The flames tore through everything, even water techniques.

The latter just lost against those flames, then utterly evaporated!

Only Milkyona's flames lasted on the battlefield soon enough! She stood with bitten lips as the Royal Infernal Diable crossed the ground to face her.

It was the patriarch of their whole tribe, Infernal Diable's Mocco!

His trident shone like magma, and it made the air around him shiver in fright! That was his might!

"We literally forced all our reserves, be it living shields or mana resources, to fight you, humans. Be honored," Mocco said. ƒ𝔯𝗲𝗲𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧oѵℯl.𝒄𝑜m

Milkyona didn't reply to him.

She found it weird, but she didn't ask. There was no need for her to ask about their reason as humans and other races always fought against each other.

Humanity wanted to erase those races from the continents deeply. That desire came from the bottom of their hearts.

They were the same.

They would always fight!

'I can only decide about our future after trying him out,' Milkyona thought inwardly, then closed up distance!

It was rare for her to do so, but as the goddess, her fire molded her body! Her strength, speed, and reactions were likewise good.

Her whole arm lit up in flames, howling similar to a certain king.

She let out a punch with all her emotions toward the Infernal Diable! Speeding up out of a sudden, Milkyona's punch reached faster than Mocco's thought!

It surprised him and his fire trident.

Alas, that punch was not enough.

Milkyona's eyes dilated, and she stared at herself, not doing any damage to her opponent. Of course, it was one punch, but she poured all into it and even took her opponent by surprise. Why was his strength this high?

What fueled those Infernal Diables?

Well... That was fear.

Crimson Dragon left so much fear within them that the whole race advanced. They also sacrificed countless treasures, so it was given.

Their strength was given.

Mocco smiled, "My turn."

His trident roared, and flames spread across its blades! He promptly raised it and slashed it, leaving a cut on Milkyona's beautiful body.

She didn't take a step behind, however. f𝗿e𝙚𝘸e𝐛𝚗𝐨𝙫𝚎𝙡.c𝒐𝐦

Rather than immediately escaping, Milkyona swore to try her hardest. She engaged in close combat with the patriarch despite her chances being low!

And that left Reylin yet again shocked.

-

Crimson Dragon and his teammates stood in silence.

"She didn't use her people but went forward on her own? Since when does Milkyona even fight in close combat?" Emilia asked the question that all shared.

Wouldn't that prideful Milkyona use her people to keep enemies close, then bombard them with her volcano or fire skills?

Yet, she took the front and fought while keeping an eye on other humans!

Yes, Milkyone no longer thought of winning against Mocco!

She still swore to keep him busy while helping her race!

That was unbelievable.

The war didn't lack events, however.

Mocco's trident became a powerful weapon that expanded widely. It became a kilometer long and floated above the whole country and battlefield!

One throw, and it would erase most of those human lives!

Milkyona's eyes rose, and she shouted, "Step behind me! All of you! You all scatter in all directions and abandon our kingdom on my signal! Find shelter in other continents where my friends reside!"

Those friends were other ascended.

To not just sound strong, Milkyona immediately summoned her fire mana outside of her body. It became visible and a little transparent red mountain. That mountain stretched toward the sky and became a volcano.

Her whole mana slipped into this skill.

That skill covered all humans and their kingdom, allowing innocent to escape to the portals. On the battlefield, all humans cried as their goddess used her final technique.

They would honor her wish and scatter as soon as she lost...

Alas, for some, it was too much to bear. They lost strength in their legs even before the crash happened, and their tears tumbled down their cheeks. Humanity despaired while their goddess couldn't even reply to them.

She couldn't turn her head behind and leave a faint smile as her entire focus remained on the Infernal Diable!

Macco nodded with respect, "You will be remembered, human. You are the only human who has been approved by me!"

His trident descended immediately after those words.

It collided with Milkyona's volcano, which resulted in the whole continent rumbling. The first strike brought many cracks across Milkyona's volcano. Then pressed by its master, the trident started digging to get that beautiful goddess and kill her!

Reylin stared with narrowed eyes, then lifted his hand, "She will lose... Not on my watch, though."

He didn't care about the future.

In this very moment, Reylin saw more than he should, and this particular goddess touched his heart. His flames tore through the ground silently in the form of the small snake. Once the snake plugged itself into Milkyona's fire mana, their fire concept meshed seamlessly. It became one powerful weapon that seared the fire trident!

Macco blinked in confusion, then the explosion of his own weapon vaporized him alive and killed him in the process.

Infernal Diable's patriarch died...

He just died like that...

Milkyona saw it with her widely opened eyes, "C-Counterattack!" She stuttered and called out all humans for a decisive counterattack!

Her body still bathed in the unknown foreign mana concept, which was naturally Crown Mana!

She wouldn't miss that chance and lead humanity to victory.
