129 Let's Curse Them!
“Ahem,” I cleared my throat before adding, “the first thing needed from you is to donate anything with high energy value into there.”
I pointed towards my pillar with the burning star in its middle.
“The heart of the chariot? Damn! You got something nice here human,” the leader of the berserker seemed to get what that pillar usage was.
“This chariot is like a living beast,” the dragon leader didn’t delay as he added in clear arrogance, “our race won’t just gift anything cheap. See these boys? One of our mighty archlords gave that human this gem as a token of our race.”
I let him have his boasting moment while only rolling my eyes in response. Those dragons didn’t know limits when it came to arrogance or boasting.
“I believe stat points can do fine,” Fang said, “also rare ores or precious gems can also work.”
“It’s a beast heart, we can’t just toast anything poor like that,” the dragon leader was still immersed in his fake glorious moment, “stat points aren’t that bad, but why not donate one hundred top grade gears from each race then?”
“This…” the big berserker standing next to that big dragon turned sharply to him.
“What? Don’t tell me you are so poor to not have such a low amount, humph,” that dragon youth was trying to show off in front of all of us.
Dude… if not for the fact I knew old dragons had wrinkles over their faces, I’d considered you an old man thanks to that long moustache of yours!
Besides… How did you dare to boast while we had Selvators on our side? On my side?
“Let’s all share what we can,” Fang said in a decisive tone, “but would that be enough?”
“It will be enough to sustain that beast’s attack for half an hour,” I thought about this before deciding not to throw anything inside that little star of my chariot.
“Half an hour?!” the succubus girl frowned, “will that be enough to break through its tough skin?”
“My berserkers can do more than that in half an hour!” The berserker leader seemed to get tired from the dragon’s boast from earlier and shouted in bravery.
“Dragons won’t let the half an hour pass without breaking its defences,” the dragon leader spoke in rivalling bravery as well.
“Guys,” Fang frowned, “we have to kill it, not to just break its defences!”
“I’ll deal with the defences,” I said, “all I’m asking from you is to prepare your elites and be ready to jump over its colossal body. Our chance is only limited. Once its defences are broken, you have to use anything to reach its heart.”
“Such a behemoth… I bet he has more than one heart,” the succubus girl said.
“An expert of hearts like yourself can tell indeed,” the berserker leader tried a lousy way to flirt with her, and all he got was a cold shoulder and a loud harrumph from her.
“No matter how many hearts that thing had,” Fang said, “we need to kill all of them.
“My dragons can take care of one heart,” the dragon leader said.
“Berserkers will deal with another,” the berserker leader added.
“Leave one to me,” the succubus girl waved her long hair off her shoulders like she was showing her beauty off and not saying something related to this battle.
Fang looked at me. Of course that behemoth had more than one heart. In fact I knew how many hearts it had; a dozed!
Twelve beating hearts were scattered across its massive belly. I knew five places of these hearts, each at the root of its necks. I didn’t know if the severed necks had also crushed the corresponding hearts or not.
But that left seven hearts for them to deal with. As three races selected one heart each, that left four without anyone to kill.
If we missed even a single heart, that bastard wouldn’t die.
And for unknown reason, I felt from the stern look over Fang that he was also aware of such info. Yet like me he kept this devastating morale info to himself.
“You all go down there and make your weaker boys operate over the defensive platforms,” I said before giving Fang a meaningful glance.
“How long do we have?” The berserker leader was harsh in his tone, yet his attitude was practical and sincere.
“I’ll give you ten minutes,” I thought for a moment, “after that I’ll change the chariot’s direction towards that monster. We’ll have less than five minutes before hitting it.”
“Great,” the dragon leader was the first to jump off the chariot. He did exactly like my jumper, and the other dragons and all the berserkers just followed his suite.
“Quite barbaric,” the succubus girl said in disdain before she looked at me in interest. “I heard you wiped out the illusionists before all this happened. Wasn’t it better to leave those hidden dudes present to help?”
“I don’t like cowards,” I simply shrugged. And this was a fact. For a race like illusionists, with the ability to vanish from sight at any given time, they were famous for being cowards.
“I like you more,” she laughed and didn’t know if she meant it, her entire body trembled, while her two big and bulging breasts vibrated while rising up and down.
She wore a simple white gown that was so loose to show off many of her hidden treasures. “I just want to tell you that my race isn’t a warmongering one,” she winked before adding, “after this, let’s be best friends, alright?”
“We’ll see about that,” I copied the standard response from Fang and gave it out straight to her.
“Hahaha, I like you more, hahaha!” she laughed while leading her sexy girls down below.
“Don’t lower your guard,” when the succubi vanished, Fang said with a deep sigh, “your little toy is only effective as long as they didn’t touch any part of you.”
I didn’t know that, but it was good to have such a warning early on. “I can handle her.”
“One kiss and you’ll be knotted to her like a doll!” he kept speaking in his warning tone, and I could only bitterly smile.
Couldn’t I kill her? Wouldn’t I kiss my Rachel? That was indeed a torture! ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀꪶ
“What will we do about the remaining hearts?” I asked and as expected, the eyes of that Selvator narrowed when he heard my words.
“So you also know about that… Impressive… I want to know how you know all this!”
“One day I’ll tell you,” I said before teasing him, “if you were a sexy girl like them, I’d rather tell you in return for being mine.”
“Weirdo,” he scoffed, “our girls are far more elegant and more beautiful than these bitches!”
I raised my eyebrows when I got what he meant here. For some reason, it felt like he was partially agreeing to the concept of what I just said!
“I can get five of the hearts,” I shifted the topic after clearing my throat, “I’ll take out the ones at the five necks.”
“You know about their locations?!” The tone he spoke with told me he didn’t know everything about these dark realm monsters like I imagined.
“I only know about these,” I said, “the rest are inside the belly. You have to make sure not a single one escapes.”
“Leave it to me,” he said in a serious tone.
“If you needed my help back there, just send me a message,” I wasn’t sure if he could handle the remaining four hearts or not. That was indeed if I considered the three races being able to kill the other three hearts.
The dragons and berserkers were fine, but the succubi was a problem. How come such weak sexy dolls had the strength to kill? I knew they got stats like the rest of us, and cultivation bases as well, but all were directed mainly towards their beauty and sexual skills and abilities.
The highest stat they got was intelligence. As for the cultivation they practised, I was quite sure it was the dual cultivation and allure cultivation ways.
As for the Selvators, they were strong indeed but I doubted their ability to kill four hearts in a short time!
“You just need to deliver us there,” it seemed as I was lost in thoughts, Fang read my mind, “don’t worry about the rest. We can handle it, we must!”
I nodded while feeling that such rich dudes must have their own treasures to use like myself.
“Alright,” I took a deep breath, “get your men ready, we’ll move in three minutes.”
“They are already here,” Fang smiled as he pointed to the chariot, “I brought everyone inside from the start.”
“Good,” I nodded, “make sure the weakest ones will stay behind to operate the offensive weapons.”
“What about this ballista?” He shifted his gaze again towards my big ballista.
“It’s not for sale dude,” I rolled up my eyes as I reminded him about this simple fact.
“Can you get more?” he didn’t lose hope yet, “I want to buy a bunch of these beauties, no matter how expensive they are.”
“Dude… If I can get more, do you think I’d just resign to have one?” I inwardly sighed. Of course I had a way to buy more, but I needed to gain more Bringold statues first before doing so.
That impact was like a treasure mine, but it needed a few preparations before I could get more benefits from it.
“My offer stands as long as we don’t reach quest fifty,” he said and from his words I realised he was aware of the quests that were yet to come.
Damn! Just how big was the gap between humans and other races in this damned apocalypse?
“We are ready,” in the span of two minutes, the entire chariot was filled with all the races. I looked around and couldn’t help but feel proud of myself.
I turned all the enemies and the ones who worked their hard to kill me and my race into my followers in this battle! I was going to kill that beast, claim the city, gain the race gates, and even get the support of the Selvators and would gain the help of the succubi if I wanted without losing a single troop of mine!
Damn! That was epic!
“Let’s go,” as everything was set, I turned my chariot while standing at the forefront. The entire deck was filled with the elites from all races, and I also spotted many new races as well.
They brought everything to this battle. That was great!
“What’s that?” Just as I took it out from my inventory, the eyes of the leader of the dragons sparkled in greed.
“Not of your business,” I smiled without turning my eyes towards him. The next moment a message popped up in front of my face.
[Do you want to use the Anubis god Libra and weigh the soul of your enemy?]
[Warning: you need to select the enemy by either pointing at him or calling his name]
Yes, I took out my Anubis god Libra treasure. An hour already passed and the annoying cooldown ended a long time ago.
“Use it against that thing,” I pointed at the monster while waiting in anticipation.
I learnt my lesson quite well this time. I used it early on before reaching there as I guarded against the slow progress rate of this item. It would take a few minutes to complete the curse, just before we would arrive at that monster.
When I said I’d break its defences, that was thanks to this treasure of mine. And I also expected something else, something new from this treasure.
[There are two different souls detected inside the same being]
[Do you want to weigh the two souls?]
[Warning! If you decided to do so, ten million coins are needed to complete the process]
