1027 Battle Against Five Lords
I got from Zangibar that these forces were already bound by some sort of shadow world bond, making it like they signed a loyalty contract with me.
I led them towards the next target while my mind was burdened with what just happened. What the heck was that cube anyway?
“This…” and when I went to the next territory, the third white and weakest one here, I found an interesting sight waiting for me there.
There wasn’t just one lord, but five! And they seemed to bring their forces here.
“A coalition army? That’s quite interesting,” I couldn’t help but laugh, while what burdened me about that mysterious cube was washed clean from my mind.
The number of forces here was in millions! They stood in a very strong formation, waiting for me seemingly for quite a while.
The five lords were standing over their different monster backs, with one standing over a flying piece of rock. He reminded me of those Hector paragons and their obsession with flying forts and islands.
Well… This was a good start. I killed every single paragon I met from that race, and having one just like them here made me feel better about facing these five.
“Return back with no harm, we won’t attack you if you did,” the five lords stood together, seemingly afraid of mine as they stood almost half a mile away, “fighting us is the most stupid move you’ll ever make in your entire life. Retreat and keep yourself safe.”
“Safe? There is no such word in my vocabulary,” I liked how he tried to scare me away using empty words, “let’s see if you are capable of making me retreat or not… Attack!”
All the worry and doubts I got turned into a fierce desire to fight. I needed to vent all my rage over someone, and I got five right now standing in my way.
And with my order, all of my forces ran towards the direction of that giant army.
“You are going to fall here,” one of the five lords said in such a vicious tone before he took out a great sword, waved it a couple times in the air before plunging at me.
He was on top of a winged lion monster. And once he came closer, the lion opened its mouth and roared, releasing a strong voice attack in my direction.
“Humph,” yet all it caused was a few waves at my shield, not even being able to leave behind a single crack.
“So you are using some sort of shield to protect yourself… Let’s see how you’ll last under the five of us attacking…”
Just before he’d continued his words, I suddenly flashed. I already got my speed sacrificial boost on my side, and coupled with the Hescos suit transformation, my speed was close to the speed of light.
I passed just by his side, and all he could see was my afterimage when he tried to adapt and aim at me with his sword.
*Bang!*
Yet before he could even hit my afterimage, the glaive of mine already pushed his body far to the back, throwing him off his ride, tossing him like it was garbage.
“I feel stronger… Hahahaha!” I wasn’t bluffing or showing off. I felt my strength, speed, and all my stats were rising up than before.
And I got only one explanation for this… My world was getting wider and stronger, giving me such an additional boost.
“Next,” without waiting for them to come at me or even give them time to absorb their shock, I flashed among the four, tossing three away and one was able to barely evade my glaive.
“I always hated these shields,” I said in disdain while looking at the one who reminded me of those Hector paragons.
“I won’t let you have your way,” and that dude was smart enough to read through my intentions.
I didn’t just hit the four lords and sent them away, but I made sure they’d be scattered in different places and in different armies.
If I just threw each one towards his army’s direction, then I’d gain nothing from this. This way, I made sure to not only separate them, but to cut any means of support coming from their forces.
Yet only one remained behind, and he even mistook himself of being able to stop me here.
*Snap!*
With a snap of a finger, my chariot appeared just behind me. “Keep him entertained for me, will you?” I said, without turning. And in the next moment, I flashed fast and vanished like a ray of light.
He thought he could stop me on his own. If there were two of them here then it would be a different story.
But one? And one that my fallen gods were very experienced in dealing with his flying island and its shield? Sorry pal, you were so unlucky to be the last man standing among the others.
I left him to my fallen gods and went directly towards the closest lord. It took just a couple of seconds to arrive there, and I found him trying to stand up.
“F*ck off!” Just as I was getting closer to him, a fierce roar came as another bolt of light came chasing after me from behind.
It was this lord’s ride, a monster that looked like a hummingbird riddled in fire.
It was the smallest in size amidst all the five lord’s rides. But that small body enabled him to have great speed.
*Bang!* *Roar!*
But just as it tried to interfere and stop me from getting to his lord, I simply paused, turned around and pierced its body with my mighty glaive.
It released such a heart curdling roar while trying to evade my glaive and let it just miss a vital organ.
“Down there,” I threw it away into a different direction before ignoring it totally and moving again towards its lord.
And this time, I slammed over that lord’s head, releasing all my might and using the advantage of coming from high, coming so damn fast to cleave his spear into two halves before cutting his body from head to toe.
