Reincarnated with a Military System in Another World

Chapter 204: The Assault on Akarios Island Part 3



Queen Velara and Princess Elara squared off against the Demon King Generals, the intense heat of battle all around them as each one honed in on their foe. This wasn't just another skirmish-this was a fight for dominance and survival.

Garruk lunged forward, his massive frame barely slowed by the dense, rocky sand beneath them. Velara met his charge head-on, Stormbreaker held high. She swung the hammer with precise timing, and the shockwave from her strike sent a tremor through the ground. Garruk braced himself, grinning fiercely as the blow landed against his armored gauntlets. Despite the power behind Velara's swing, he stood firm, planting his feet with a strength that matched her own.

"You call that strength?" he taunted, leaning forward, his voice guttural and mocking. "I thought I was fighting a queen, not a servant!"

Velara responded with a sharp glare, her jaw clenched. Without a word, she tightened her grip on Stormbreaker and swung again, putting all her force into the strike. This time, the blow connected against Garruk's side, breaking his balance and forcing him to take a step back. The impact left a faint crack in his armor, and he gritted his teeth, clearly feeling the force of her swing.

"You'll find I'm more than capable of putting you in your place," Velara replied, her voice steady. She swung again, maintaining her fierce, unrelenting rhythm as she forced him to block or evade each heavy blow.

Nearby, Elara faced off against Valeria, her arms raised as she manipulated her vines in a continuous assault. The vines weaved and twisted through the air, clawing their way toward Valeria, who deflected them with dark tendrils of energy. Every time Elara's vines broke through, Valeria retaliated with a counterattack of pure darkness, shadowy bursts lashing out like whips, striking at Elara's defenses.

"Nature's magic is quaint," Valeria sneered, her eyes narrowed. "But it's nothing compared to the power of darkness."

Elara's response was swift. She extended her arms, summoning thicker, thornier vines that whipped forward with increased ferocity, slicing through Valeria's dark tendrils. "Your darkness is nothing but a shadow before the light of life!" Elara shouted, focusing her energy into each movement.

Valeria growled, shifting her hands to form a swirling orb of black energy. She threw it toward Elara with immense force, and Elara barely had time to create a barrier of vines to absorb the blast. The impact sent a shockwave through the battlefield, scattering dust and forcing the two combatants to take a brief pause. Both of them breathed heavily, their focus unwavering despite the strain.

"Getting tired already?" Valeria taunted, her smirk faltering as Elara met her gaze with steady resolve.

"You wish," Elara shot back, her vines already surging forward once more, twisting around Valeria's limbs and forcing her to react. Valeria broke through them with a concentrated blast, but her energy was waning, and Elara could sense it.

Meanwhile, Garruk and Velara's battle raged with increasing intensity. Garruk charged again, swinging his massive fist with enough force to crack stone. Velara sidestepped, her instincts sharp, and retaliated with a well-timed swing of Stormbreaker. The hammer connected with Garruk's chest, and the impact sent a shockwave through his armor, knocking him back several paces.

Enraged, Garruk bellowed, planting his feet and lunging forward. His gauntlet-clad fists swung down like hammers themselves, striking the sand where Velara had been standing just moments before. She leapt back, raising Stormbreaker in a defensive stance as he pursued her relentlessly, his strikes growing fiercer with each blow she managed to evade.

"You're fast, but I'll wear you down eventually," Garruk growled, his voice filled with confidence.

"Then you'll be disappointed," Velara replied, her voice cold. She seized the moment as Garruk paused to catch his breath, striking his shoulder with Stormbreaker. The blow landed solidly, knocking him off-balance. Garruk stumbled back, fury flashing in his eyes as he steadied himself, preparing to charge again.

"You're more resilient than I thought," Garruk admitted grudgingly.

Velara raised her hammer once more, determination blazing in her eyes. "And you're too arrogant to realize that's what will bring you down."

Simultaneously, Elara and Valeria's struggle intensified, with Elara pressing her advantage. The vines now formed a near-impenetrable wall around Valeria, tightening with every passing second. But Valeria wasn't finished yet. With a fierce shout, she released a powerful surge of dark energy, shattering the vines and breaking free.

Elara staggered back, feeling the impact of Valeria's raw energy. But she didn't relent. Instead, she summoned another wave of vines, focusing on entrapping Valeria once more. This time, she added a new twist-sharp thorns sprouted along the vines, gleaming ominously as they spiraled toward Valeria.

Valeria scowled, channeling her energy into a shield to protect herself. But the thorns broke through the barrier, scratching her skin and drawing blood. The demoness gasped, surprised, then snarled in anger. "You'll pay for that!"

Elara merely smiled, unwavering. "Come and get me, then."

Valeria lunged forward, her dark energy surging as she focused every bit of her power on breaking through Elara's defenses. The clash of light and dark magic intensified, each blast, each swing of energy resonating across the battlefield, shaking the ground and sending debris flying in every direction.

Back with Velara and Garruk, their clash had reached a fever pitch. Garruk's brute strength clashed against Velara's skill, his relentless blows met by her precise counters. Velara's armor bore scratches and dents from the fight, but her stance remained strong, unyielding. Garruk swung wildly, his patience fraying as he struggled to land a decisive blow. Velara capitalized on his frustration, ducking beneath his guard and slamming Stormbreaker into his side. The blow reverberated through his body, knocking him to his knees.

"This ends now," Velara declared, raising Stormbreaker for the final strike. Garruk looked up, defiance in his eyes, but the strength was draining from him, his movements slowing as exhaustion began to take its toll.

Valeria's eyes widened as she saw Garruk falter under Velara's relentless assault. She clenched her fists, focusing on her dark magic with every ounce of energy she had left. A portal of swirling black and crimson energy opened beside her, her fingers weaving an intricate spell as she summoned a massive demonic hand to emerge from the void.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The monstrous hand shot out of the portal and reached across the battlefield, its claws extending like dark tendrils. Just as Velara raised Stormbreaker to deliver her final, decisive blow to Garruk, the demonic hand wrapped its massive, clawed fingers around her, stopping her in mid-swing. The force of the grip was overwhelming, and Velara felt her ribs press painfully against her armor.

Velara struggled against the crushing hold, her grip on Stormbreaker loosening momentarily as the claw lifted her into the air. She could feel the dark energy seeping through her armor, pulsing with malevolent intent as it constricted tighter. For the first time in the battle, she grimaced in pain, glaring at Valeria with a fury that could scorch stone.

"Get... off me!" Velara growled, summoning her strength as she tried to wrench herself free. She swung Stormbreaker at the demonic hand, and the impact sent tremors through the creature's clawed grip, but it barely loosened.

From below, Garruk staggered to his feet, his breathing heavy but a triumphant grin spreading across his face. He wiped the blood from his mouth, locking eyes with Velara. "Didn't think you'd get away with that, did you, Queen?" he taunted, taking a few steps back

to catch his breath.

"Let go of her, you coward!" Elara shouted, her voice filled with both rage and desperation. She redirected her vines, sending them hurtling toward the demonic hand in an attempt to loosen its grip on Velara. The thorny vines wrapped around the monstrous fingers, pulling back with all their strength, their sharp edges digging into the dark flesh.

Valeria smirked, her attention divided between holding the spell and countering Elara's attack. "You're not the only one with allies, princess," she sneered, raising her other hand and unleashing a blast of dark energy that collided with Elara's vines, cutting through some of

them and slowing her efforts to save Velara.

Velara gritted her teeth, feeling her strength wane as the demonic hand tightened around her. With one last burst of defiance, she raised Stormbreaker high, letting out a fierce battle cry as she brought the hammer down onto the claw with all her might. The impact cracked the surface of the hand, and a sickly black smoke hissed from the fissure, but the hand's grip

remained unbroken.

Seeing the damage, Valeria snarled and reinforced the hand with more of her dark energy, her expression twisted in concentration. "You're persistent, but persistence won't save you!" she hissed, pouring her power into the portal to strengthen the demonic grip.

But Velara was undeterred. Her eyes narrowed, and she muttered an incantation under her breath, her own energy pulsing through Stormbreaker. The hammer began to glow with a radiant light, its surface sparking with divine energy as Velara channeled everything she had into one final, desperate strike.

With a roar, Velara swung Stormbreaker directly into the core of the demonic hand. The hammer's light intensified, and with a blinding flash, the hand shattered into fragments of dark energy, the portal closing as the remnants dissipated into the air.

Meanwhile, Vincent was watching the exchange.

"Looks like I have to join in now."
