Pause System: Harem In The Apocalypse

"LETS KILL THEM ALL!!!"

"AAAAAARGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!"

The soldiers war cry echoed throughout the city as they charged into the fleets with everything they had.

With their katanas in hand, and their abilities at their disposal, they swung at the horned ones upon infiltrating their ships.

*Clang!* *Clang!*

The sound of sword strikes parrying one another could be heard as countless abilities were fired off against each other.

The humans and horned ones were having an all-out battle.

Bodies were dropping left and right.

The horned ones hadn't seen it coming at all.

This gave the humans both the advantage and upper hand.

The main squad which was supposed to deal with the king was currently on their way heading towards him.

"What's going on?" The Horned King asked from his seat.

"It's the humans… They've began attacking us." A voice came from a shadow.

*BOOOM!*

Another explosion went off, and one of the naval fleets could be seen falling.

It proceeded to crash into a building in the city, before falling alongside it.

The king who saw this, grit his teeth.

He got up from his throne and looked around. It was chaos all around.

The nobles could be seen fighting at the scene along with countless other horned ones to protect their fleets.

"So they still had it in them…" The king muttered with doubt.

He glanced left and right before turning back.

Three individuals were heading straight towards him, leaping from fleet to fleet.

One more was coming from the opposite direction, but their presence was the faintest out of all of them.

"So they're coming for me…" Said the king.

"We shall stop them." Said the shadow.

"No, it's fine. I've been resting for long enough… Let them come." Said The King as he moved away from his throne.

He made his way to the deck of the boat before raising his hand.

A miniature cube was formed above his palm.

Just as he was about to release it however, he noticed something off about his shadow.

It began to distort in a strange way.

Something was coming – *Swoosh!*

To the king's surprise eight figures suddenly emerge out of the shadow.

A long pink haired girl with grey eyes, Aurora.

A short dark pink, purple haired girl with purple eyes, Violet.

A black long straight-haired girl with different coloured eyes, green and yellow eyes, Ria.

A blonde haired, deep blue-eyed lady with two kids beside her. Lara, Kylo and Lita.

A Gray haired man who appeared to be in a slumber.

And lastly, his daughter. Long black hairs tied into twin-tails and golden eyes. A battle axe was present on her shoulders as she was in a fighting stance.

The look of surprise was present on all their faces as they asked.

"Where… Are we…?"

Ruby was the only one who recognised it.

She felt a chill go down her spine, her heart sank as her pupils dilated.

.

. 5 Minutes earlier

.

Ria was in her stance, the edge of blade was pointed towards the noble.

Seeing this, the other horned ones, flew straight at her with their weapons in hand.

The others got ready, and began firing off their abilities.

[Ice Wall]

A wall of ice, rose up on the mansion's roof ahead of the nobles, blocking their path.

Aurora slammed her palm into the ice, causing tiny ice shards to be propelled from the Ice wall towards them.

[Telekinesis]

Using her Telekinesis, Violet halted them in their place, preventing them from avoiding as the shards crashed into them.

[Blood Manipulation: Blood Control.]

The noble suddenly froze in place, his arms began to tremble as they moved on their own.

It was completely one sided.

[Spatial Manipulation -]

Now that he could barely move, Ria was about to finish him off.

But right before she could. The unexpected happened.

A shadow suddenly emerged from beneath them.

It instantaneously linked itself to each one of their shadows individually before sinking them in.

When they came to it. This was where they were standing.

Right inside of the king's ship.

"King. I have brought them here, including the one who your daughter has been with." A voice came from the shadow.

Upon hearing this, all seven of them felt a chill go down their spine as the young spiky black-haired man ahead of them released their blood lust.

"So it was them… They were the ones who have been putting ideas in my daughters head…"

Ruby's eyes widened.

"EVERYONE RUN!!!" She yelled out.

[Blood Manipulation-]

[Spatial Manipulation-]

[Ice Manipulation-]

[Wind Manipulation-]

[Telekinesis-]

[Holy Light-]

They tried activating their abilities. But by then it was too late.

In an instant, a dark cube had expanded from above the king's palm. Within a split second it had trapped them all inside, covering the entire ship.

As his eyes scrolled down the screen, an excited look appeared on his face.

"Fast forward and Chronos Awakening. Isn't that more than one ability?" Gray asked.

"Yeah, show me the effects."

"Hold that thought, tell me about it when you wake me up." Said Gray.

[There are still 2 minutes remaining until the evolution is complete.]

"Alright... Explain it then."

[However – Something seems to be happening outside.]

"…What? What's happening outside?"

[…]

"Don't ignore me. What's happening outside?"

[Everyone is fighting.]

[They appear to be facing off against the horned king.]

Gray's head tilted to the right in confusion, his eyes grew colder and seemed to lose their light as he asked. "What did you just say?"
