As knew there was no point in hiding and ordered the Kenkus to attack the fortress below. When the birdmen heard hismand, they dashed down the hill before vanishing into the shadows, which made him think, ''These creatures are going to cause chaos.''


    Following that, Nulia and Amethyst shifted into their human forms as heid out the n. ''''Estelle, Artemis, youdies will attack from the west,'''' he said. ''''Nulia and Grishna, you''ll take the front, while Amethyst will strike from the south.''''


    The five women agreed before rushing off to y their part in the uing attack. Once they were gone, As slung several Void Bombs into the fortress which the enemy weren''t ready for.


    Explosions rang out, and secondster, an rm rang out. During the chaos, the Kenku''s attacked, killing the soldiers stationed on the walls. As the creature''s des shed at the soldier''s throats, others dragged them kicking and screaming into the darkness below.


    Without wasting a moment, As summoned the Void Golem King, who let out an angry roar that echoed across thendscape. The colossal stone behemoth emerged, towering over the battlefield, waiting for its orders.


    ''''Destroy the defenses,'''' hemanded.


    The giant monster charged down the hill with unstoppable force, mming its massive shoulder into the fortress walls. The impact was devastating, reducing the sturdy barrier to rubble in an instant.


    Following that, the women attacked. Estelle''s Steel Legion battled the defenders as she summoned them after Artemis threw her onto the wall. While this happened, the brte took out the cannons that were targeting them.


    Amethyst let out a screech that echoed across thendscape. As watched as she cast Cosmic st at the front gate. The explosion tore the metal structure apart and sent debris flying everywhere.


    The spell decimated the guards behind it, leaving only a few alive. She quickly wiped out the survivors with a wave of purple fire that washed over them like a tsunami. Thest two women burst onto the scene like a furious storm, their presence crackling with power.


    ''Oh shit, they have grown strong,'' he thought with glowing azure eyes.


    Nulia''s deafening roar thundered across the fortress, sending tremors through the stone walls. She scaled the fortress walls, her ws tearing through the spearmen that tried to stop her.


    As watched the soldiers turn into bloody chunks as she passed. At that moment, Grishna, in her Bloodborn Orc form, leaped onto the wall, her massive hammer raised high. She brought it down with crushing force, obliterating any nearby soldiers.


    After seeing all this, As got to work and summoned a swarm of Bloodhawks. The flying monsters flew out of a portal before descending onto the Achaemenids and tearing into their ranks.


    With everything in ce, he sprinted forward, calling out to Theo before leaping onto the creature''s back. In one powerful motion, they soared over the fortress walls. A barrage of spells hurtled toward them, but he countered with a Void Barrage, each shot finding its mark.


    The explosion lit up the sky in a beautiful blue glow. As flew over the defenses as a wave of spells and arrows rained down on them. Theo quickly dived low and flew through the fortress''s streets.


    As quickly jumped off the monster''s back andnded in the middle of the enemy soldiers. He cast Void Wave, washed out from his body, and mmed into them before he started cutting through their armor.


    Amethyst unleashed a piercing screech, momentarily stunning the soldiers surrounding As and leaving them vulnerable to his strikes. Seizing the opportunity, he sprinted down a nearby street, unleashing a flurry of spells that annihted waves of enemies in his path.


    While doing this, he felt his mana topping up, which allowed him to summon the Void Ghouls that appeared from the azure portal. The creatures rushed forward and pounced on the shocked Achaemendians.


    Thousands of empire soldiers fell to their attack while the Kenku''s attacked from behind along with the women. As was happy that he could finally take some revenge on the Achaemenids who had been attacking him for years.


    Following that, the group continued attacking the soldiers until every enemyy dead and the streets covered in blood. As was sitting at a fountain surrounded by corpses. While resting, he ordered the monsters to throw the bodies into the Otherworld.


    While he watched them do that, Grishna and Artemis appeared. Both women looked exhausted before copsing next to him. As smiled as he spoke. ''''Looks like you two had fun.''''


    ''''You have no idea, darling,'''' the green-skinned beauty replied, a sly smile curling her lips as she stretched her arms. ''''This new form drains me, but I''m sure I''ll grow ustomed to it soon enough.''''


    As chuckled before pulling Grishna into a hug, which made her smile as she asked with a giggle, ''''What are you doing? You''re covered in blood, you silly man.''''


    He chuckled and hugged her even tighter, which the Orc woman epted with a loving smile, ''''I''m d you''re okay handsome, me and Arty were worried about you.''''


    Artemis returned to her normal form after crushing a few more defenses as she approached the square. As smiled when he saw the brte and used Void Step to appear in front of her and quickly scooped her into a princess carry.


    ''''Ahh, what are you doing As!'''' she eximed as a smile appeared.


    ''''Making sure you rest Artemis, now stopped wiggling around and let me pamper you,'''' As replied with a grin.


    The brte fell silent, sinking into his embrace with a contented smile as they sat together, the fortress aze behind them. Momentster, Amethyst descended with a heavy thud, shifting back into her humanoid form.


    ''''I lit a ze around the fortress which will stop reinforcements from approaching,'''' she said in a tired voice.


    As put Artemis down and hugged the phoenix woman, who melted into his embrace as she spoke cheerfully. ''''It always feels nice when you hug me, my love.''''


    Explosions reverberated through the air as Nulia and Estelle arrived at the square. The blonde warrior was covered in the enemy soldier''s blood, while the Frost Bear woman staggered, clearly wounded.


    He watched as the knight hurried to heal herpanion. A radiant white light enveloped Nulia, mending her wounds and allowing her to transform back into her humanoid form as she eximed, ''''I hate fighting in urban areas. The enemy always hides behind corners and stabs.''''


    Everyoneughed as As stood up and spoke to the five women, ''''Youdies head back to the Otherworld and rest. I''ll loot the fortress before moving on.''''


    They nodded in agreement and kissed him goodbye before stepping through the portal he had opened. Turning his gaze to thergest building, As made his way toward it, his steps echoing through streets stained with blood.


    Upon reaching the Achaemendianmand center, he paused briefly, surveying the carnage. With a wave of his hand, he summoned the Void Ghouls,manding them to loot the fortress and strip it of any remaining resources.


    Afterward, he made his way to the prison where the Shadowfang Royal Family was being held captive. The journey took him ten minutes through the war-torn streets. When As arrived, he found the Void Ghouls standing vigil outside the entrance.


    The moment they recognized him, they swiftly dispersed, leaving the way clear for him to enter. As stepped inside and noticed arge group of people huddled in the corner while protected by four men.


    Thergest of the guards stepped forward with a low growl, his posture threatening. But as soon as his eyes locked onto As, his expression shifted in surprise. He paused before shaking his head in confusion.


    ''''Who are you, boy?'''' the wolf man asked with shockcing his voice.


    ''''Lucky for you a savor, an old wolf woman sent me here to save you so she could heal mypanion,'''' As responded while approaching the cell. ''''I assume you''re the Shadowfang Royal Family?''''


    The man slowly nodded as he spoke. ''''And what do you get from rescuing us?''''


    ''''A healedpanion and some allies in the north,'''' As answered before cutting through the cell''s bars with a swift sh.


    The metal mmed onto the floor as he entered and opened a portal to the Otherworld. ''''Stand under this tree and I''lle create some tents with you. I''m going to the location the old woman told me before she vanished.''''n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    Following this, the wary family looked at the azure portal before the man ushered them into it. Estelle and Grishna met them, who wouldn''t let them in the treehouse just as As followed behind.


    Once inside the Otherworld, he closed his eyes and created a small camp for them with a well and a small garden. After that, As spoke to the Shadowfang King, ''''Stay here and recover. I will travel to your people alone.''''
