Esper Harem in the Apocalypse

"If you don't want to die, raise your hand, and you will be spared."

Rudy watched the army and waited for at least a few hundred to raise their hands, but only one in a million raised his hand.

"Well, I see one smart person in the crowd. A diamond in the rough," Rudy muttered.

Rudy raised both his hands in the air and began creating a fireball, but he stopped midway and wondered:

'I want to make a sun, but I have to put it above me, and I am high enough to see half of this continent. If I place a sun above it, it's obviously going to incinerate every vampire on the battlefield, but it might also kill the vampire citizens on this continent which I am trying to protect. Not to mention, it will also kill that person who just raised his hand.

What can be a better way to kill them as fast as possible without wasting my time here? They are not worthy of it. Should I just drop a meteor on them? Or send them all into space?'

Rudy was having interesting ideas to annihilate an army; he was feeling the same as a kid suggesting new ideas in the class for a festive event in the school. He was feeling excited, but at the same time, he was disappointed with them.

'I can't conjure silver in the vampire world as it doesn't exist here. I will have to go to space to do that, and if I leave this battlefield, these bats will invade this kingdom further. Oh! I have got a nice idea.'

Rudy teleported his 'conjuring' power into space and began gathering silver. He turned the silver into various weapons such as a spear, sword, bow, dagger, sickle, even bullet, and every possible weapon ever existed in the world.

Then, he teleported his 'duplicate' ability to space and duplicated the weapons into thousands to millions. After that, he dropped them all from space into the battlefield. He waited for them to enter the vampire planet's atmosphere before forming their shapes again, as they had become dull because of the high friction.

He duplicated them in the air as they closed the distance with the battlefield. While the army had no idea what was going to happen to them soon. Even the sky was covered with clouds, so they couldn't look up and see their demise.

"What's he doing?"

"I don't know."

"Maybe he is casting a spell?"

"Then shouldn't we attack him while he is in the middle of casting it?"

"Yeah. The flying army has already begun their attack."

"He might not have realized, but the flying army was slowly spreading, and now he is surrounded by all the sides."

"He can dodge, block and escape a few attacks, but not all of them."

"His death is confirmed."

"What a waste of time."

"Poor guy, he was sent alone to fight the army of a million!"

Once the weapons had reached the innermost atmosphere of the planet, Rudy lowered his hand.

"....!"

The flying army could feel something coming at them; they could feel the danger and sense the silver.

To vampires, silver was akin to fire. Just like a normal human being would be able to sense fire because of its hotness, the vampires were also able to sense silver.

Even the army on the surface could feel it now as the silver weapons were in a massive quantity. Their minds had stopped working as the only thing they could sense was… danger.

In the next second, the weapons ripped through the clouds and impaled the flying army and the beats. They fell to the ground, and it was then that they all realized that they were no more than dead bat walking.

They all regretted not accepting Rudy's mercy before. They now wanted to run away, but of course, it was already too late.

The army watched their fellow soldiers getting stabbed by the weapons, and all they could do was to wait for their death to arrive.

They all made a run and spread in every direction, but Rudy never missed his target. The army was crushing their brothers, fathers, and friends in mayhem as they looked for an escape.

Some of them thought they were smart and tried to fly away, only to get hit by a weapon the next second.

Rudy even stopped making the weapons sharp as the fire surrounding the silver worked the same as acid for them. Due to that, Rudy got a new idea and mixed the silver weapons with fire and lightning.

It was a rain of fire, lightning, and silver. The clouds had holes all over the sky as lightning kept roaring. The surface was painted red with their blood, and weapons were plunged all across the horizon.

It was undoubtedly a bizarre scene that would go down in vampire history, and the battle would be remembered and recalled by the elders to the kids. Anyone who witnessed the war with their own eyes would surely end up being mental with traumas and nightmares for eternity.

And there was one.

Amid the silver weapons, dead bodies, blood, and fire, there was one person who had dropped to his knees and was rubbing his head to the ground.

​ It was the same person who had raised his hand when Rudy was handing out his 'mercy' like a newspaper on a busy street.

Within less than ten seconds, the battle had ended.

"Seriously… this was so stupid. Did they not have land before? Did they not have a house before? Why did they wage war if they had everything? They wanted more, of course," Rudy talked to himself as he answered his own question.

"But what did they get in return? Why must they not be satisfied with what they have? I just single-handedly massacred an army of over a million soldiers. I destroyed the lives of the people close to them. I feel like shit.

No wonder they need a ruler to rule over them. No wonder they need someone who they can fear. No wonder they need someone who can make laws and rules for them. No wonder they… need a Lord."
