Agatha The Legendary Guild Master

"What about you?" the demonesse asked.

"I'll go to cleave the head of the snake once and for all."

I turned around towards the direction of the heart of this castle. There lies the control place of the castle, the most precious thing for me in this damned place at the moment.

"Be wary, the tornados will link and all the enemies will attack here ferociously."

"Just my type of a fight," the demon laughed, "I love this war so far."

"Just stay alive," I hoped, "and you… keep summoning all the skeletons you could and make sure not to stop for even a second."

"Yes my lady."

My necromancer unit said in unison before they started to summon endless skeletons the next instant. I knew these skeletons were fragile, yet eventually they would evolve like what happened before.

"I hope they would be smart to know what to do," I prayed as the moment when all the tornados would link would be the most critical moment of this entire war.

They should push everyone upfront, try to stall and kill as many enemies as they could. This way the sudden pressure exerted over the few remaining here wouldn't be that big, and at the end we would win this with fewer losses.

Delaying to catch up to that moment then our losses would soar to the clouds without doubt.

Either way my win was guaranteed and the only loss I was bargaining about here was the loss of my forces.

The castle heart was a very big tower that spiraled up like a needle in the middle of grass. I moved fast towards it and met some resistance but they were all crushed instantly by my spear.

It seemed my system was trying to converge all the monsters around the tower to stop me but he was slightly late in doing that.

"Finally in," I heaved a sigh of relief when I spotted the central token fixed to the ground with a small number of monsters protecting it.

"Stay away," I didn't hesitate to throw my spear and launch everything I got. I knew how important it was to control the fort here, and hopefully that would end the war at once and declare me as a winner.

The moment I killed all and touched the token afterwards, the distasteful sound of the system rang in my ears.

"Ding Dong! You conquered the last fort, congratulations."

"Can't you say it with much more enthusiasm?" I laughed yet his next words made my laugh freeze.

"Ding Dong! As you didn't clear all the hostiles yet, then you are asked to defend here. Losing this token will mean only your loss."

"Damn you!" I cursed instantly in a wave of rage, "how can you even do that?!! I'm the winner, I controlled the last fort!"

"Ding Dong! No you don't," the system replied in an irritating tone, "Ding Dong! And these are the rules and I'm just the executioner. Don't hate the executioner please."

"I'll curse that executioner and pledge to cut his head off!"

"Ding Dong! But… I don't have a head."

"…"

I tried to control myself better and took a deep breath. "So you are betting on the last encounter to snatch my win? Let me see you do it then!"

I marched towards the exit with strong steps while my mind started to devise the defense plan.

If I wouldn't be the victor here except after killing everything, then I would kill anything that moved in this forsaken place.

As I went outside I met groups of monsters running fast towards here. "Move away you meager ants!" I shouted with rage while unleashing all my attacks over them, and yet I didn't feel any better.

"So before I was always suppressed by the nobles and the witch's arch enemy, and now I'm suppressed by you… great, like if I killed the nobles and destroyed the forces of the witch arch enemy then I would do the same to you."

I stood alone, standing with my mecha and the spear in hand while glancing over the groups of monsters running towards me in hast and many tornadoes were already merging with me.

"Bring it on," I sent my spear fast before snapping my fingers and retrieving it, and then I sent it away once more. I kept this rhythm while any monster coming here was crushed without exception.

"Rumble!"

"Rumble!"

"Rumble!"

Yet these rumbles kept me from rejoicing at defending the fort so far. I knew this was just the appetizer and the real deal was about to hit me now.

And it wouldn't be any less violent than the tornados up front.

"C'mon, open all the doors of hell and let me crush them all," I kept encouraging myself as this was a battle I knew how brutal and hard it was.

I was almost this close to gaining victory, and despite that I was also closer to losing it… and it felt really bitter when I imagined that.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The moment these tornadoes linked to this place, the loud bangs of the fight ongoing inside each tornado started to spread here. "At least my boys are winning everywhere," I muttered before glancing over at the first wave of monsters running towards here through the rapidly expanding holes.

"And so it begins," I took a deep breath while clenching over my spear with both hands, "let's see how this will end."

The first wave of the enemies really shook the ground around. I glanced with a stable mind and will towards the large number approaching fast before they clashed with my skeletons.

"Come back," I suddenly recalled my two demons before the next moment I brought them back. "Keep defending here, don't let anyone touch this entrance no matter what!"

I didn't even wait for them to respond as I soared fast towards the sky and started throwing my spear. I didn't have time to waste and beside my spear I kept launching any attack my mecha could provide.

This helped slightly to stabilize the frontline before the second wave approached. I was pretty confident with the third or fourth wave my entire skeleton army would be crushed and nothing would stop them from coming to steal my fort and victory.

Yet I couldn't do anything to stop them at all, except for what I was currently doing.

If I could even explode the mecha and kill many of them then I wouldn't hesitate to do so. However it was impossible as there was no such feature for the mecha I was using.

Just as hope was about to crush in front of my eyes with the arrival of the third big wave, a gigantic shadow loomed over my head and despite my initial scare I became very relieved.

"We can win this," I finally sighed and took a deep breath... victory was now finally and at last secured.
