302 Closing The Gates
I looked at the row of funny and different emojis, and didn’t know what to do. “Can you then do something about this situation?”
As things reached this point, I had nothing else in my power but to ask.
I couldn’t get her meaning, but at least she could understand my words, right?
Then another row of meaningless emojis popped up in front of my eyes, making me lose any hope I got before.
*Rumble!*
Yet just as I was this close to give up, I heard such massive rumbling coming from the shield up above. The brightness intensified all of sudden, and it even emitted rays of light.
The rays were like thin pillars that fell and covered all the area underneath the shield.
At first I thought that girl mistook my intentions. I didn’t want her to shine and bring warmth to the world here. I wanted her to do something and save my boys.
But when I looked closer, I noticed that these pillars were moving. It looked slow at first, but when a few seconds passed, I noticed the pillars were converging fast towards one spot; the river!
The lights kept covering the river until it began to shine like a hot piece of ember. I waited, hopefully something nice would come out of it.
*Boom!* *Boom!* *Boom!*
And without any warning, all the pillars started to turn silver then red then started to cause explosions anywhere it touched.
The river began to be covered in thick clouds of smoke. I even saw the water surface of that river getting turbulent, showing big holes like big fists clashed against it.
The monsters on both sides of the river started to die. At the same time, new monsters influx from the river surface started to show a massive decline.
These pillars… They were attacking and killing monsters everywhere, even under water. How cool this was!!
“Keep it up, good girl!” I couldn’t control my excitement at this moment, looked high up at the shield and shouted in great joy. Right now all the spears that were threatening my forces were crushed to pieces and returned to the river twisted body.
As for my forces, in the middle of all this they looked fine. The rays of light and even the explosions didn’t even touch a single hair of them.
Brilliant! Such a kind of attack that could take away all my enemies and keep my forces alive was really brilliant!
Another row of emojis appeared. This time I looked at these faces with a smile on mine. After all, my newly born girl here has done a marvellous job so far. ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀꪶ
“Attack all the hostile forces in the three cities! Kill them all!”
This time my words aren’t just directed at my girl. I shouted at my forces at the river side. It was time to press for the victory, kill anyone standing in our way.
Standing high in the air, I looked at all my forces shrugging the shock off their shoulders and starting to attack. The first battle was, of course, against the monsters in the river.
This could be described as an eternal battle if the gates underneath were left untouched. But what was really apparent was the fact that these monsters began to show many signs of weakness.
They weren’t as strong or aggressive as before. In my eyes, I could see a single human fighting a couple of them and even taking them down without much effort.
Before this, a group of humans were needed to take down one single monster, suffering casualties in the process.
“The curse… This is what my curse is all about, bastard!” I knew the reason behind such great change. After all the curse of Anubis was this deadly, not only on that paragon but over his scattered forces here.
“Come with me!” I instantly seized the chance and summoned all my warriors. It wasn’t time to sit and watch. The enemy was being barbecued with my baby shield and my forces here.
The enemy was simply in chaos, and it was the best moment to aggressively push forward for the win.
I led my forces without the need to wait any longer towards the river. Once there, I didn’t hesitate to dive into the river. I didn’t need to pay any price to gain the blessing from the Albany aquatic building.
After all, its blessing would continue for one day.
As I dived into the depths of the river, it wasn’t surprising to see a grand cave underneath. It extended beyond my sight, seemingly covering up a distance of many miles around.
“I’ll get you first,” as I got there, the rays of the shield kept helping me. They kept killing many monsters, and those who were lucky to survive, were killed by my boys on the chariot.
One gate was down. Two were down. Five were down… I kept taking gates and shutting them down like I was playing a game or something.
The enemy was in its lowest moments right now. Their leader, that paragon, already was so much weaker than a normal archlord.
His forces got the worst part of it. Even if he was demoted to power to such an extent, he wasn’t that bad. But for his forces, losing almost half of their stats turned them from scary hybrid monsters into weak and docile low levelled monsters.
It was my luck to face that dude in that challenge. Just one victory sealed the fate of this entire big battle. That was a simple and clear example of how important a leader was in any army.
No matter how big or mighty the enemy was, as long as the leader was taken care of, everything else would be smoother to me.
“Fifteen!” After less than one hour, I managed to finally close the fifteenth gate. The world underneath the river was really calm at this moment. All the monsters that wreaked havoc before were now lying dead, motionless at the river bed.
“Go, bring everything up,” I didn’t want to stay here and marvel at this place’s beauty. At some point in time, I decided to come back here and use this place for a better use.
