Chapter 391: Battle(1)
The arrow, after it got released from the bowstring, flew ripping the air apart, aiming at the soldier on the front.
"Puchi!"
The first soldier on the front wasn't even able to take a look at the arrow before it severed its head and marked the first death of the day for the soldiers.
The arrow didn't stop there as it still had a large momentum to go forward. After killing the front soldier, it went to the second one, and he also faced a similar result.
With only a single arrow, Aakesh succeeded in killing seven soldiers in the army.
While the arrow killed the soldiers, Aakesh didn't stop but shot arrow after arrow. It created chaos on the battlefield, while the casualties of the war touched the double-digit mark when only a second had passed, and before that second was over, it touched the triple-digit mark.
Only painful screams remained in the area, creating an eerie environment.
"Clang!"
"Clang!"
"Clang!"
Suddenly, the sound of metallic clashes began ringing in the area, engulfing the screams of the dying soldiers.
The archers from the fort gave cover to the charging soldiers, giving them relief from dying in the onslaught of Aakesh's arrows.
Unfortunately for the soldiers, the difference between Aakesh and the archers had grown wider than anything they could accomplish.
For every arrow Aakesh shot, the archers had to release five-seven arrows at the same time.
Even though the difference between the quantity of the archers on the fort and Aakesh was in front of everyone, the archers yet weren't able to overpower Aakesh due to the quality of his shots.
The battle between Aakesh and the archers on the fort continued. One or two arrows from Aakesh's side would miss from time to time, resulting in an increase of casualties in the war on the enemy side.
The dying soldiers attempted to fight back against the arrows, but unfortunately for them, they weren't able to overpower or defend Aakesh's shot. Some survived in the end, but they couldn't save themselves from severe injuries caused by Aakesh's arrows.
The arrow Aakesh was continuously shooting wasn't an ordinary energy arrow, but it was one of the special ones.
It was called 'Rejection'. The arrow had only one property, and it was that it rejected any kind of energy, except the top ten energies. Any wound caused by this arrow would only grow graver with time, as it didn't just reject energy, but it also used the same energy against the opponent.
Its strength completely depended upon Aakesh. It was also the reason behind him taking a chance with it today.
The soldiers who had somehow survived, but had gotten injuries across their bodies, felt ants crawling over their wounds.
The self-healing instead of helping make the wound more severe with time.
A soldier, who had survived the shot by giving up one of its legs, found himself dissolving, starting from the wound. In only a few seconds, the soldier entirely dissolved into the ground and then disappeared, becoming another casualty of the war.
There were several scenes like this across the battlefield, but no soldier had the mood to watch or care. Such was the intensity and momentum at which the battle moved.
"Thud!"
"Thud!"
"Thud!"
Land, already shaking due to the chaos and mindless charge, shook with even more intensity. Giants creature, where even the smallest reached more than a mile in height, began jumping down the fort from different areas.
The newly jumping soldiers weren't only big in size, but they also were a level stronger than Aakesh, similar to the Yultes he had first faced.
The soldiers belonged to the round of soldiers just before the arrival of higher-ups into the battle. Even yesterday, Aakesh hadn't faced them as due to his arrow, the higher-ups had to intervene earlier than possible, which also resulted in him dying earlier than he had expected.
The new group of soldiers belonged to different races, with almost an equal number of shares in the army.
The first giant creature Aakesh saw was Aisad, one of the top races of the Primal dimension, but here, it was only one of the high-level soldiers in the army.
Aakesh continued shooting the Rejection while soldiers increased on the ground at a visible rate.
After a minute, more than ten million soldiers belonging to different levels were present on the battleground.
It was around 70% of the total number of soldiers the fort had, so it was going to be difficult for Aakesh if he wanted to survive.
The soldiers jumping from the fort finally stopped. Aakesh stopped shooting, Rejection, as he had been waiting for this moment since he noticed the higher-level soldiers jumping down the ground.
Aakesh aimed his bow at the sky. He then stretched the bowstring, only to stop when it touched his nose.
As he had begun stretching, the outline of an arrow had started taking shape. First, the nock appeared, then the red tail feathers, then a thick shaft, and finally an arrowhead in the shape of a curved bowl, fitting an entire arrow between the bowstring and the bow.
It was the familiar arrow, Bowl of Annihilation.
The charging soldiers flinched for a moment, seeing the appearance of the arrow.
The memory of the massacre the arrow had committed the last time was still engraved in their memory as if it had only happened a moment earlier.
At that time, the higher-level soldiers had already reached Aakesh.
The first to reach Aakesh was one of the Golden-Winged Roc. It was a creature in the shape of an eagle with golden feathers.
Aakesh only took a glance at the Roc and then released the arrow.
The Roc also reached Aakesh, but he wasn't present at that spot. Instead, he appeared a few miles away from the previous location.
One of the Aisads had already expected the situation to go that way, so they were already prepared for when Aakesh would move.
"Clang!"
The sound of metallic clash rang in the area as Aakesh's arrow clashed with the Aisad, who had just appeared next to him.
The arrow in the sky, on the other hand, had turned into a red bowl. It had also begun enlarging at an unspeakable rate. It already covered half the sky above the battlefield while it was still continuing to grow.
