1213 Fighting For Half An Hour
Seeing the flying Hescos attacking my ground troops, I instantly summoned part of the dragons. The moment these dragons appeared, they started devastating the unprepared flying Hescos and killed lots of them in the process.
It looked brutal, but the more hectic it was the better. I knew this might bode unwell for my side, but in chaos I found the best opportunities to make my best performance.
Instead of trying to do something different, I simply flew higher and summoned another wave of warriors out there.
These warriors didn’t just appear at the first layer like before. They appeared at the few layers which got most of the hits so far.
The moment this happened, more chaos broke out. I watched all this in cold blood. No matter how many my warriors died, I still didn’t flinch or feel bad about it.
I kept summoning more warriors, adding them to fight these Hescos without any shred of guilt or regret.
When my warriors covered up ten layers, I started to do something different.
By then, almost half an hour passed. I still got half an hour more, and so I got to speed things up.
I might have half an hour, which wouldn’t amount to much. That was why I had to be a little selective here.
I looked around, and without much hesitation I selected a target. The next moment I activated my first technique, drew the circle out and controlled it using my bloodied left fist.
The threads coming out from this technique got little boost, turning many into thick arms and not threads. The moment they appeared, they jumped at the bodies of the flying Hescos.
If I had to select one big crisis here to solve first then it’d be without doubt the flying legions of the Hescos. And if I controlled enough during the next half an hour, then things would be much easier for my forces when they’d arrive.
The moment my threads appeared, I felt like a hive of bees got stirred up all of sudden. The flying Hescos spread all over the sky, kept flying as fast as they could, trying to evade the incoming threads.
The ones who were attacking me were doing better than those who were in the middle of attacking my warriors over the ten layers.
These Hescos might be away from my chariot, and yet they were the first to fall off under my technique. That simply was thanks to lowering their guard, focusing over the warriors underneath them, without paying me much attention.
They didn’t believe that from such a distance, my threads would target them. And unlike what they expected, my main goal was these Hescos.
Despite the distance, the speed of my threads proved to be unstoppable. They moved and in the next blink of an eye they appeared in front of these Hescos.
Seeing that many fell under my threads made me feel quite contemptuous. However the next moment I felt like things were going wrong.
The threads were connected to my technique, and they fueled from my body. The moment these threads penetrated the bodies of these Hescos, I felt like a black hole just got connected to me, sucking my energy dry on a scaring rate.
“Tsk, trying to compete against me in terms of energy? Idiots!” I waved an arm and the next moment lots of bones appeared, filling out my entire chariot.
I couldn’t tell what these Hescos did, but for a reason they increased the rate of energy expenditure. If that was the problem, then it wasn’t a problem for me.
The moment the bones appeared, I instantly started sucking their energy. However even with that, the scary rate of expenditure was on equal par with my absorption rate.
I could absorb energy from tons of bones, however at the same time I was limited by my body’s absorption rate.
It was something I never took interest in before. The main reason behind it was that I never faced such a situation before this battle.
No matter how hard the enemy was, I always kept myself on upper hand using my bones. But this time things looked different.
Even with my bones, the energy I absorbed almost matched the scary expenditure of my enemies.
“It seems I have to find a way to hasten the speed of absorbing bone energy,” I muttered while still attacking the flying Hescos.
Even if adding more Hescos added more pressure over my shoulders, I knew I could still do it. Even if the energy expenditure slightly overrun my energy supply, I could still keep it running.
I bet they did something to their suits to make it harder for my threads to control their bodies. But even so, they never managed to lower the speed of my technique taking control of the Hescos bodies.
That meant even with the scary expenditure, the speed of taking control over these suits didn’t change. I’d still be able to control them in a few minutes, ten at most. And I even doubted that spending ten minutes would be the case here.
As expected, after supplying energy for five minutes, I finally controlled the first batch of my Hescos. This was just the start, as more threads appeared out from the controlled Hescos, invading more bodies around.
Seeing this I knew it was just inevitable for the Hescos to evade my clutches. I turned my eyes over the annoying ones, flying all over the sky under my shields.
I never stopped creating more shields till now. The attacks coming from the outer Hescos forces were indeed scary.
The sky was filled with endless brightening lights, giving anyone the sense that a true apocalypse was happening out there.
The Hescos underneath it were indeed hard to catch. I tried my best and in the end, only a small portion of them got controlled.
Half an hour passed fast. My warriors who were scattered all over the ten layers were still fighting brutally against the enemies.
