Jumping through the hordes of soldiers, Shiro slaughtered her way through with ease.

  "Oi oi! Try harder would you? This miss is just starting to get warmed up haha!" Shiro laughed out while using a soldier’s body as her trampoline.

  Notching three arrows while flying through the air, Shiro shot the three archers that wanted to shoot her down in the distance.

  However, they still managed to fire their arrows.

  Two of them missed but one of them was about to pierce her right in the chest.

  Seeing this, the soldier grinned in excitement as he could finally end this demon that had been terrorising the battlefield. Unfortunately, his grin soon faded as he widened his eyes in disbelief.

  Before the arrow could pierce Shiro’s chest, she twisted her body and caught the arrow with her hands before notching it into her bow and firing it back at the archer.

  "Return to sender!" Shiro grinned as her eyes seemed to flicker with a dim red light.

  Landing on the ground, she stood up straight and looked up at the crimson sky which was dyed by the sunset.

  Taking a deep breath, the smell of blood and metal filled her nose.

  ’I have been enjoying a rather peaceful life with Lyrica and the others where I didn’t fight large armies. But damn I forgot this intoxicating feeling. It’s a little twisted but what can I say? I suppose I’m like a smoker. I’m addicted to battle. Peace is nice but I’ll get itchy if I don’t fight every so often.’ Shiro thought to herself.

  Cracking her neck, her body swayed for a slight moment before accelerating rapidly towards the terrified soldiers on the other side of the battlefield.

  Running towards the first soldier she could see, she dismissed her bow and grabbed two of her daggers.

  Jumping up, she parried his sword and stabbed both daggers on either end of his neck.

  *CRACK!

  Flipping her body over his, she twisted his head using the daggers as a handle and flung his body towards the next soldier.

  Ducking down, she avoided a few arrows and picked up the sword that the soldier had used to try to kill her.

  Flicking her wrist, she flung the sword up before round house kicking the pommel of the sword, launching the blade towards the archer and piercing his thigh.

  "ARG!" Kneeling down from the pain, the archer quickly looked up only to see two daggers rapidly approaching his eyes.

  Time seemed to slow down as he could see the demon behind the daggers.

  Despite her beautiful appearance, her blood soaked hair and sadistic expression only caused him to feel fear.

  With fear as his final emotion that he could experience, darkness filled his vision.

  *CRACK!

  Crushing the skull of the archer, Shiro pulled her hands back.

  "Pft! Che, I suppose it’s unavoidable that blood will get in my mouth if I smile during a fight." Shiro frowned while spitting out some blood.

  Glancing behind her, she could see a long trail of corpses as her allies were pushing forward.

  Most of the soldiers belonging to the enemy army were now retreating thanks to her sudden slaughter fest.

  However, most of them were glaring at her and she knew she was about to get surrounded.

  But that’s fine. After all, she was used to the one versus many situation. The more people that approached, the better it was for her since she could turn them against one another with their own attacks. The good thing about being alone in this situation is that some of them will hesitate to harm their own allies when you get close to them.

  She would use this hesitation to slaughter more.

  Since they were charging towards her, she’d repay their kindness by making the distance shorter.

  Bringing out her bow once more, Shiro started to fire a swarm of arrows without delay.

  Despite her running towards them, her arrows always hit their target thanks to its properties as Artemis’ Bow.

  The moment the soldiers saw that Shiro was approaching, the thought of distancing themselves from her appeared in their minds but since the enemy army was behind them, they couldn’t leave.

  All they could do was charge towards the girl in hopes of taking her down even at the cost of their lives.

  While Shiro was slaughtering the enemy army, the allied army watched the scene with a mixture of shock, awe and disbelief.

  The commander stood at the top of the reinforced walls and stared at the battle in incredulity.

  "Goddess Nike, what champion have you given us with my summons. Is she a hero or is she a demon of war? Could I have received assistance from Ares the God of War instead?" The commander muttered while glancing up at the sky with a slight tremble in his voice.

  Despite him holding onto the wall, he could still feel his arms shaking from the fear he felt from the girl.

  When the tides of battle were looking grim, he prayed to the Goddess of Victory to send them a hero to protect the land.

  When a pillar of light descended onto the battlefield, hope filled his heart. But when he saw the person inside the light was a young white haired girl, he couldn’t help but stare at her with dubiousness. But that dubiousness was soon erased as the girl didn’t hesitate to take a life in front of her.

  Each of her kills were gruesome and efficient as if the soldiers were nothing but ants in front of her.

  Her instincts and reactions allowed her to dance through the battlefield with ease. Even a sky full of arrows that would have killed the best soldier they had was nothing to her. Her quick thinking allowed her to use the corpses of those whom she killed as a shield before slaughtering more enemies, leaving a path of destruction in her wake.

  However, for the sake of the kingdom that they were trying to protect, maybe they needed to sign a deal with the devil. It didn’t matter how many people she killed. As long as they could protect the kingdom, it was ok in his eyes.

  "ATTENTION!" He shouted out.

  With his shout, most of the allied soldiers turned towards him.

  "Follow the girl and take the slaughter to their camp!" He commanded.

  "URAHHHHH!!!!"

  Replying with a loud war cry, the army charged forward with renewed vigour.

  As the enemy was preoccupied with retreat and killing Shiro, the fight was much easier and each soldier could kill an enemy with ease.

  Seeing her allies charge with a burning desire in their eyes, Shiro only laughed.

  "How energetic of them." She chuckled while snapping the neck of a nearby soldier with ease.

  Taking the dagger out of his neck, she looked towards where the army was retreating.

  ’Since my goal in this is to take out their commander, I should get to it quickly before he leaves. Even if I’m in the middle of the fight, it should be rather easy since I haven’t seen anyone using any divinities just yet.’ Shiro thought to herself with narrowed eyes.

  However, if they were to use a divinity, Shiro wasn’t too afraid. After all, she could hold her own against a Minotaur whom most people would struggle with even if they had one divinity.

  Pulling out her short sword, Shiro started to dash towards the enemy encampment.

  Killing all those that stood in her way, she had to switch her sword with someone else’s due to the damage it sustained but with so many weapons on the battlefield, it wasn’t too hard for Shiro to find a replacement.

  After killing her way through the crowd, Shiro suddenly felt danger ahead of her and flipped backwards.

  *BANG!!!!

  Sliding for a few meters, Shiro looked up and saw a black spear where she was just standing a moment ago.

  Before she could even say anything, a towering armoured man crashed down next to the spear and picked it up.

  He wore a set of full plate armour which covered almost every inch of his body. Coloured black with a crimson cape behind him, he looked exactly like a hell knight that Shiro had faced a few times in her past life.

  "Demon! How dare you spill the blood of my soldiers." The armoured man roared out and charged towards you.

  "Are you their commander?" Shiro grinned and parried his spear.

  However, the force of his attack was more than what she had anticipated so she was pushed back. The force of his attack had always caused her sword to bend abnormally to the point where it couldn’t be used anymore.

  ’He should be someone with one divinity. A normal person shouldn’t be able to generate this amount of force.’ Shiro narrowed her eyes while throwing away the bent sword.

  "I am indeed their commander and you shall die by my spear!" The commander glared at her as a black aura started to radiate from his spear.

  Sensing a threat of death from this next attack, Shiro immediately closed the gap between the two of them.

  Stomping down on the handle of his spear, she launched herself over his body just in time as a beam of energy shot toward, erasing everything that was in its path.

  Taking this chance to stab towards the nape of his neck with a dagger, she watched as he parried it at the last moment and knew that this was going to be a tough fight.
