Chapter 322: 253. Chaos at the Plaza Part 1.
***
North-frontier City-
It was the square of Winter palace in North-frontier City where an army parade was taking and a short memorial was given to the soldiers of all the nations who lost their soldiers in war. These arrangements were contrary to what was previously planned by Quill and others due to the arrival of new guests from Radiant City.
There was complete silence for 5 minutes that described the solemness in the crowd which included the diplomats from Aelius, Bryndyll, Lemuria, Fire-abyss and Sky. After the memorial, John gave a speech in front of everyone, "To all the citizens and people attending the event here, I will try to make it short but please bear with me. Today is a very happy day, I say this because we have reached an agreement to stop the unnecessary bloodshed. I say this because I hope and believe in a better tomorrow. I say this because we can strive for a better tomorrow. I hope the citizens in Sky don't hate the citizens of Aelius and Bryndyll with whom we fought and I also hope that the citizens from other countries won't hate us. I won't ask for an apology from others because I believe respect can only be earned by strength as well as magnanimity however without strength respect cannot be earned. We fought because we felt our motherland and ideals were worth protecting even if meant death. In the end, I would like to announce that Sky, Aelius and Bryndyll have reached a formal agreement for peace between our countries and end the brutal war so that more lives aren't lost in vain."
John signaled Quill to bring the agreement that was first signed by Plato and Anin with Lemuria and Fire-abyss being the witnesses to the agreement.
Angel Leo was quite angered by John's self-righteous words but he still kept his anger in check so as not to ruin the plan.
When John was about to sign the agreement. There was a loud roar in the sky as the Sun started having an abnormal eclipse. It was as if there was night in day's time. This scared a lot of common people who were in the square. The commoners shivered as they almost started kneeling on the ground.
Grey's men started evacuating the commoners so that no one gets hurt and their preparations don't go to waste.
As soon as the roar was heard from the sky, the silhouette of a divine being could be seen. The divine being's voice was heard in the whole region whether it was Aelius, Sky, Bryndyll, Lemuria or Fire-abyss, "FEAR ME, MORTALS, FOR THESE ARE THE TIMES WHEN CHAOS STARTS. YOUR VERY SIN IS ACCEPTING THIS SINNER AS A KING OF A COUNTRY IN THIS WORLD. EVERY PERSON WHO HAS ACCEPTED HIS CROWNING WILL BURN IN MY BLACKFIRE EVEN AFTER YOUR DEATH. IF YOU WANT TO ESCAPE YOUR FATES THEN CLEANSE YOURSELVES WITH THE RADIANT CHURCH AND JOIN THE CRUSADE AGAINST THIS SINNER. KNEEL BEFORE THE RADIANT CHURCH AND ASK FOR FORGIVENESS."
This was a shadowy silhouette of Radiant God Irmela who had eyes as if he would eat everyone up in the square. The Radiant God, Irmela was wearing White and Gold patterned clothes along with a small crown. He had a luster of Gold on the borders which made him seem Divine. He also had a beautiful long sword in his right hand as he pointed it towards John when he made his previous statement in anger when all the countries had signed and accepted the existence of Sky from now on. What made him the angriest was the fact that he would lose more followers day by day.
Everyone including the guards was alarmed as soon as they heard Irmela's declaration after the Solar eclipse.
John was quite calm as soon as he heard Irmela's declaration. He held onto Amulet of Thorns and prepared for the worst as he saw alarms ringing from the System.

Irmela then looked at John as he roared and made a move towards John while pointing his sword at him and roared, "How dare a mortal like you look at me in the eye and dares to face me."
Lord Leo who was leading the people from Radiant Church immediately spoke after he saw the silhouette of Lord Irmela, "Now is the right time to kill all the Important people and take the management of this kingdom. Come, we will attack with Radiant Lord and cleanse this kingdom for defying the order of gods. We will make this continent know the true fear of defying the gods as we did in the previous crusades."
"Kekekekeke."
At this time, an eerie sound of laughter was heard by the people of Radiant church when the fights started. The sound came from a space portal where an Undead King came along with his army of 10 Generals.
The Angel, Lord Leo ignored the arrival of the Undead initially and asked one of the Bishops to clean them up, "It seems this sinner has also learned the arts of a Necromancer. More the reason that he should be killed lest he corrupts this whole world. Go and clean those small fries. I don't want anyone to interfere in our operation now."
Dwayne too nodded his head and signaled Mist to start their plans. While Lukavv was quite alert as soon as he heard Irmela's voice along with the arrival of Undead.
One of the Bishops went to the undead as he chanted light magic and blastic a light missile towards the Undead King. The Undead King without worrying about the light missile flicked it off with his pinky without batting an eye.
This scene shocked a lot of people in the arena as the Bishop was a high-level character in the Radiant Church and the Undead usually suffered 4 times more damage when facing Light magic attacks.
Angel Leo and Two of the Cardinals who accompanied him too were quite shocked at this development. For the first time, they looked at the Undead with more focus.
One of the Cardinals muttered as soon as he saw the scene, "This is an Undead Lord no Undead Sage? How is it possible for one to exist? I am certain that we cleansed the Necromancers for good during the last crusade from this land."
After hearing the Cardinal, the Undead laughed eerily and spoke, "Kekekekeke... Of course, a brat like you won't know me because I have been underground from the eyes of Radiant Church for quite a long time. Your superior near you might know about me. And there is also that asshole with that fancy sword who would usually send his lackeys every now and then to harass me. However, you should rejoice because today is the day you and your masters will pay the debts of the past."
Lord Leo was quite angry as he remembered the voice of the undead, "So you weren't dead last time when senior came to get rid of you. You should have hidden yourself to live longer. Alas, you chose an early death and revenge even though you were greatly injured last time."
Without giving any warning, Lord Leo brought out his staff as he started shooting high-level fireballs toward the Undead Sage Xylo without any chants. Lord Leo spoke to his men as he started attacking Xylo, "Start preparing your best spells and attack this undead with Light or Fire magic."
The Undead Generals and Mages who didn't react until now started making formations to combat the Mages and Templars from the Radiant Church.
During this commotion, Vlad was quite prepared as he ordered his soldiers to start shooting the people from Radiant Church with Magic Bullets.
Vlad smiled cruelly and spoke, "This time none of you guys will be able to run amok."
Vlad then ordered Grey, "Make sure to keep the safety of Diplomats and commoners your topmost priority. Guide the commoners to leave the square and guide the Diplomats to come under the protection of our Elite Corps."
Grey nodded as he followed the orders.
Vlad then ordered Diana, Eva and other women, "You guys should seek the shelter of Dearil."
Fredric came and spoke to Vlad, "It's ok, I will be protecting them. You should focus on the battle over here."
Sally and Diana worriedly looked at John who was being attacked by Irmela.
Fredric smiled mysteriously as he spoke, "Don't worry, he will fine. This time a lot of people will get a big surprise. Not even that clone can kill him. Though the clone has about 3%-5% of Power but their powers are limited in this realm."
Diana nodded as she too brought out her rifle and started shooting Magic Bullets towards Lord Leo in anger.
Fredric meanwhile was sweating bullets due to the difference in strength between them. He slowly murmured, "If not for that Undead, it would be a very bloody battle."
There was an utter shock when the Templars and Priests were defending against the Magic bullets, one of them immediately spoke in despair, "How could these projectiles penetrate the holy armor which has been made after so many efforts. Hell, there is even poison and Dark magic embedded on these bullets."
Even Lord Leo and Xylo couldn't help but observe the bullets when they penetrated the Holy Armor.
Vlad looked at Xylo and spoke, "I don't know your purpose in arriving here but since you are helping us against our enemies we won't pursue you however if you have any motives against our Lord then be sure you too will face our wrath."
Xylo smiled as he ignored Vlad and spoke, "You should be glad that I am not here for your lives or you would be turned into an Undead Demon with that injury on your abdomen. I heard that Radiant Church and you guys have irreconcilable hatred so how about joining us to kill this bastard over here? This might piss off Irmela, what do you guys think?"
Xylo smiled as he spoke and signaled towards Lord Leo who was fuming in anger due to the ineffectiveness of his attacks.
A lot of people started sweating as they heard Xylo's remark because if they killed him then they would be marked by Irmela and other gods for life.
Vlad didn't do anything as he viewed Xylo cautiously while he and his men attacked the Bishops and Cardinals.

Meanwhile, without worrying about the commotion, John signed the agreement as he heard Irmela's announcement.
As soon as John signed the agreement, various system voices could be heard while Irmela moved to attack him,

John slightly muttered as he looked at the two other dangerous entities, "It looks like that Angel called Leo is level 59 while that Undead Sage Xylo is level 61."
John signaled Quill who went bring out the items. John then slowly muttered as he faced the attack of Irmela, "Let's try using Space magic for now."
