678 Who The Heck Is That?!!!
My connection with the two hearts or the newly formed one was giving me such an impression.
And I also got another feeling, that I didn’t need to stand here doing nothing anymore.
“Ok baby, keep growing and merging, and I’ll do everything in my power to protect you,” I said before starting to lead my chariot around, taking a wide tour over the areas of fight all over the capital.
The fight was really fierce! No matter how much my forces killed, much more would come from many directions, looking like they were respawning endlessly without any limitations.
Yet no matter how hard the enemy tried, they couldn’t even reach the shield or break through it.
My forces have been doing a great job so far. But this was simply a passive way of fighting this battle.
I was like Sara, all oriented about all out attack with zero sense or desire for defence.
Yet unlike her, I had the capital and backing to act this aggressively.
“I was away and busy for too long… It’s time to replenish the stock of monsters,” as I got freed from my technique, the bones all over the chariot were still laying there in wait.
The energy coming from them suddenly paused and the bones returned to their formal state once the connection got severed. I noticed that few of them were gone from time to time, as if something hidden was eating them up.
I didn’t think much about it. If the connection needed a few bones to keep running, then it was fine by me.
And now, I started making my technique once more. Without any warning, my threads started to spread from my black circle, taking control over monsters and mercenaries.
I didn’t bother signing any contracts with them. I knew most if not all of them would fall here today. So I just focused on taking control over a large number of them, gathering them together in a few groups that kept escalating at such a fast pace.
Then after an entire hour, I had hundreds of thousands under my control.
“Attack!”
Up till now, the only forces of mine that took control of attacking the enemies outside the capital were my soulers.
They were fierce, fighting and killing without any obstacle. Nothing really stood in front of them, not a single enemy managed to even harm them.
But they weren’t enough to cover up the entire stretched out battlefield here. With the help of my controlled groups of monsters and mercenaries, things started to look a bit better.
As they attacked, the enemies near the capitol got a sudden and strong blow. Many of them fell, and much more got entangled and infected with my threads, ending up serving me in the span of a few breaths.
That replaced the losses of my controlled monsters and mercenaries, adding even more with the slow passage of time. Gradually, the entire size of my new forces was enough to push the frontline half a mile back.
And with that, the capital finally could be called to usher under a few moments of peace that didn’t last for long.
*Rumble!*
From far, a gigantic rumbling came while a big portal opened. I looked up at the distance, knowing that a bastard enemy of mine was doing something.
*Rumble!*
However, just as the first portal was getting in shape, another one appeared near it. It wasn’t that big like the first, yet it caused more noise than the bigger one.
And from it, a silhouette appeared coming out, one that I recognised from the first look.
“Are you finally coming to fight me to death?” I said in such icy cold tone, narrowing my eyes and clenching the glaive that I didn’t use to shed the blood of enemies with yet.
“I’m not here for you,” the same distasteful voice came from that far away direction like its owner was standing right in front of me, “I’ll get to you later on. I’m here for another person.”
“Another?!” I raised one eyebrow before seeing something that made both eyebrows get raised at the same time.
I felt immense shock while watching another silhouette appearing from another direction. He was cloaked under a dense black fog, covering up his features.
It was him! It was that bastard enemy of mine! And right there, two of them stood in front of each other, looking identical to my eyes.
“What the hell is going on here?!!!” I was greatly shaken! I thought this bastard had an ability like mine, the jumper, and Hilary. I thought he was a time traveller, one who came from the future I created by coming here.
But right now, I saw two versions of him! The two looked identical, without any speck of difference.
“What brought you here?” the old enemy of mine said in the same tone and attitude that made me swear both were twins or something!
“You failed,” just as I was shocked, a thing happened that gave me a new meaning of shock.
The newly arrived one through the portal seemed to take a weapon. I couldn’t see anything through that dense black energy covering him up. But I could see it strengthening, taking the shape of a really long and broad sword.
It looked quite heavy indeed. But that new dude waved it as if he was holding a feather! The swords hit the other dude, ending up in removing his head, and letting it fly in the air.
*Sizzle!*
Blood didn’t splash out from such wounds. Instead, the body of the old dude started to disintegrate on its own, breaking up into wisps of black sparks of fire that started to vanish in no time.
In the span of a few seconds, that troublesome enemy of mine got killed without any struggle or even a fight.
Then as I was totally petrified in shock, the one standing turned his sword towards me as if he was issuing a challenge.
“From now on, it will be me who will be playing with you, damn human race Hye!”
“You…!!!” I was too shocked to speak fast before this bastard went into the portal he came from and vanished.
