The War for Survival raged on. 

As time passed, the Demonic Beast Horde as well as the Black Curtain Guild's casualties kept on piling up. 

Thanks to the blessings that the Royal's gave them as well as the effects of Moonshine, the fighting capabilities of each soldier displayed was almost close to 100%. Although it was rather unfortunate that there had been deaths to the Kingdom's forces already, the damages on their side aren't as severe as what the beast horde was experiencing. 

Every soldier could take on at least three or four Demonic Beast before exhaustion takes over. Depending on their skill, they could kill every single beast they face and even if they weren't as strong, they could always rely on their comrades for support. 

Those who are injured or incapable of fighting anymore, would be brought towards the nearest Healing Station where they'll get patched up so that they can return to battle immediately. Losing a limb, exhausting blood vitality, blood loss, poison. These aren't a problem due to the brilliance of the Sacred Leaf Tavern's medicine. 

Their treatment is top-notch, even someone who's near-death will be brought back to life, and if they wanted to return to battle, they could thanks to perfect restoration. This is why so far, the Kingdom is one the winning side for this war.

The results of battle became even more impressive as soon as Paul and Ellen released their Divine Beast Aura and brought on a massive suppression against the demonic beasts.

On the unfortunate event that their deaths are sealed, they would choose to ignite their cultivations in order to bring down as many enemies down with them. And even though the war just began a few hours ago, the numbers of the horde had visibly thinned already. 

The approximate number of enemies amounted to at least 3 million. Majority of these are Demonic Beast while the rest came from the Black Curtain Guild. But since Mark and Old Lee had been purposefully targeting the people of the guild, their numbers had been dropping in an alarming rate. 

The battlefield was filled with colorful lights, large explosions, dust clouds and sounds of death. The ground is filled with bits and pieces of flesh. Blood flowed like a stream, bathing the army in red and served as fuel for more slaughter to occur. 

Mark's silhouette danced through the battlefield like a demon of lightning. Heads will be severed wherever he went, no one could even touch the hem of his clothes in this form which made his a great asset for this war. Even after running through the battlefield for hours non-stop, Mark isn't really exhausted. In fact, he could do this all day if wanted to. It's just that he wanted to remain cognizant about his surroundings. 

To be totally honest, he would've liked to bring down higher tiered beasts, the lower tiered beasts could be left for the weaker soldiers to kill. Unfortunately, there's a task given to him and if its possible, he wanted to finish it as soon as he can. 

Mark suddenly jumped high into the air, with a quick glance of his surroundings, he saw several guild members. After marking them, he threw several daggers accurately aimed at his targets. 

As the daggers were released, they struck the unsuspecting victims with a blinding speed. As soon as dagger hit them they were then struck by lightning from the sky. This caused their eyes to roll backwards and for them to lose consciousness. And by the time that they lost consciousness, Mark was already running towards them to retrieve their bodies. 

As soon as he retrieved the bodies, he will use his strength to throw them towards the mound of bodies at a great distance which him and Old Lee created. He didn't care whether his victims land safely or not, they were bound to die anyway, all he cared about is that they gathered there to be cleansed. 

*Beep!*

A sound transmission arrived, he quickly sank his perception to it and read the message.

'Mark, Lee. The Cleansing Potion is ready, return here to retrieve them.' This message was sent by Luis. 

He wasted no time and quickly rushed towards the East Wall will Old Lee. After they arrived, Victor immediately handed them several potions and said:

"There's only 10 of these potions." Victor stated, "Each of you will have five. Richard told me that you only need to use one on each pile bodies, that would be enough to trigger a chain reaction. If possible, wipe out the crazed guild and douse them in this potion, that way we can prevent some unexpected situations."

Mark and Old Lee nodded, after storing the potions away, they wasted no time and hurried towards the pile of bodies that they accumulated. 

As soon as he arrived at the mound, Mark carefully removed the cork of the potion and poured its contents on the pile. He then jumped down and waited for the chain reaction that Richard was talking about. 

Mark frowned as he failed to see any kind of reaction from the mound of bodies, he frowned and thought if the potion was ineffective but just as he thought of that, a plume of white flame suddenly appeared. 

The White Flame looked incredibly pure, its temperature isn't as hot as a regular flame but its not easily extinguished either. It continued to spread from one body after another until it covered the entire mound of bodies. 

There weren't any smoke nor ashes scattering around the burning pile of corpses. The burning was silent and gentle, its almost similar to a campfire. 

But in reality, the flame is doing things that are just too profound for anyone to see clearly. 

The name of this potion is Liquid Vivus. When it used, it cleanses the foreign or residual laws or any type of wicked techniques by burning them. The cleansing flame is called Vivic Flames and this flame will never be snuffed out until the last drop of foreign energy or influence turned to ash. 

Back in the past, Liquid Vivus was used to cleanse deep-seated impurities, hexes, poisons, and etc. from someone's body. It was incredibly famous but it was soon forgotten due to the passage of time. Now it was revived by Richard's abilities, and this will undoubtedly going to cause a large commotion once again. 

Old Lee and Mark watched the pile of corpses were disintegrated by the Vivic Flames. Both of them thought, that if the potion did its magic, then the Black Curtain Guild won't pose any kind of problem to them any longer. 

After witnessing the results, they then jumped back into the fray and hunted more people from the Black Curtain Guild for another round of cleansing.

"You girls, behave there for a while okay?" Eva spoke to her daughters. 

"Mn! Okay, we will play here and behave." Nina answered while holding Tori's hand. 

"Yes! We will behave and play." Tori added. 

Eva smiled and kissed their cheeks before going to the kitchen. She was planning on making some sandwich for the three of them. Usually, she would make this along with her husband but unfortunately, the kingdom is at war and Luis was required to report in the front lines. 

Being reminded that war is currently happening caused her mood to dampened. Worry and anxiousness gripped her heart and not even the sturdy pillars of the Royal Palace can make her feel safe. 

Unlike the rest of the citizens, she wasn't oblivious about the details of this war. While the kingdom propagated false information in order to calm the citizen's nerves, as the wife of the Royal Strategist, she knows what they're dealing with. 

This wasn't just like any Demonic Beast Horde, nor this was just any other defense against it. This was war, and if the Kingdom's forces lose, their home will be destroyed and their fates will most likely be unknown. 

As a mother, she wanted to give her children the best life she could offer, and of course being forced to live in the wilderness or worst, dying aren't a part of those options. 

In her absent mindedness, she didn't even notice that she made a total of six sandwiches at this point. This caused her to sigh since this reminded her of her son. 

The only times that she made this many sandwiches is when all of them are together, her, Luis, the twins, Raven and from time to time, Luna as well. She had gotten so used to preparing this many that it had become an instinct to her. 

Eva still hasn't heard a word from Raven at all, the last time that she received news of him is when Luna saw the message he left during their previous clash against the Black Curtain Guild.

She sighed once more and decided to store away the excess. She placed three sandwiches on a plate and returned towards where the twins were. 

"Girls, I made sandwich for - "

Eva didn't even finished her sentence. When she started searching for her daughters, she saw them being carried by a tall man with a long blue hair. This man heard her voice and turned around to face her while the twins were giggling on his arms. 

She saw the man smile, Eva's heart almost leapt to her throat when he heard him ask: "Wait, where's mine?"
