At the horizon, I could see many lord’s armies still fighting against each other, seemingly oblivious to the great risk lying in the centre.
But those close to the messy battle were already fighting together, putting aside their differences for the sake of crushing this unexpected scary foe.
It was a mess indeed. And I decided to use it to cover up the presence of my soulers. It was the best situation, the most optimal setting for my soulers.
As I called for my soulers, even Lucas appeared. I looked and felt more confidence in my ability to conclude this messy war.
Over two million soulers appeared just in front of the huge mess. But strangely enough, such a scene didn’t attract much attention except from those standing close by.
But even those were fighting desperately for their lives. These Reapers have very amazing close combat skills, making it impossible to survive their assault for a few minutes, not to mention running away.
“Attack!” I pointed to my glaive and simply said the magic word. Dwindling more would bring more attention to my soulers and might bring unneeded trouble.
Lucas was standing in front of the grand army. And when he heard my voice, he roared and shouted in such a fierce way.
Something looked different in him. What? Don’t tell me he felt the challenge from these Reapers?
Well, if they got something similar to my soulers, then it made quite sense indeed to feel this way.
The first clash was really mind blowing! All the enemies stretched for half a mile were penetrated through by my soulers before falling to the ground in a muffle thud sound.
Thousands, tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands fell down just in mere seconds and in such a terrifying way. The sudden join of a new force gradually attracted the attention of those fighting far away.
How could they ignore such scary enemies drawing closer to them in such fashion? Standing on such a high vantage point allowed me to inspect everything and see clearly how scary my soulers were.
Lucas scattered the soulers frontline to cover up almost ten miles distance then he led them directly towards the heart of this mess.
It was the main place where those Reapers were. As expected, he felt their presence and desired for a direct clash with them.
What would be the result then? Would my soulers be able to kill them? Or would they possess an ability to interfere with my soulers’?
And the answer presented itself to me soon enough.
The soulers of mine were gulping on their enemies like ferocious beasts. To those poor soldiers fighting down below, dealing with the Reapers was a pain already.
And now a stronger relative appeared, one that was able to clean away their souls without much time wasted in fight like Reapers.
This left behind an ocean of corpses, covering the ground like they were dried up weed. I watched my soulers get in touch with Reapers, and there a new thing happened.
My soulers passed through them, but for the first few times they couldn’t do any harm to Reapers. This wasn’t new. I saw such a phenomenon happening before when my soulers had to face a stronger foe.
Yet after many attempts, the Reapers didn’t fall down. Instead, I saw a sparkling fire, forming many threads, emanated between the two fighting monsters, just like a bond that appeared out of thin air.
What the heck was that?!
I used my Hawk Eye skill before seeing it clearly. They were vines formed by weird looking fire, something that looked like it was eating up a long rope and still they weren’t going to die down on their own.
I saw different coulered fire stretched between the soulers and Reapers. What the heck was that? Was this something normal when relatives come together or what?
But gradually I noticed something else. I decided to keep watching and not interfere until I’d solved such a mystery out.
It first started with Lucas. I saw the fire threads linking him with many Reapers around to start twisting, broke free from his end and plunged themselves over the Reapers like they got a life of their own.
I watched the Reapers fall to the ground, twitching in weird ways like they were convulsing or something. It wasn’t a good sign indeed, for them at least.
“So the two had some sort of connection and by this way these Reapers would be conquered?” I muttered while recalling a single scene where I saw Reaper’s fall to their enemies’ attacks and weapons… Yet I couldn’t.
And this felt weird.
Even my soulers would fall from time to time when getting hit by many enemies. How come the Reapers not lose a single one of them?
Just when I was lost in thoughts, another amazing thing happened.
I considered those Reapers twitching all over the ground dead. They got assaulted by these weird looking fiery veins and had such terrifying convulsions.
Even my soulers started to move and attack other Reapers, meaning they lost interest in the ones they just conquered.
However… Unlike what I expected, I saw the Reapers’ movement grew dull and calmer, before they all stopped twitching.
I didn’t know when it happened, but these fiery veins suddenly disappeared. I watched closely other Reapers having the same fate before spotting what exactly happened.
The veins… They didn’t vanish or get extinguished… They seeped slowly inside the bodies of Reapers, in a move that gave me the impression they got absorbed by their bodies or something.
It appeared to happen in a slow manner, yet it all happened in less than a minute. All of sudden, I saw tens of thousands of Reapers lying on the ground motionless, while their breathing was getting calmer.
Were they going to die? It didn’t look like that! So, were they going to sleep? In the middle of such an intense battle?
Didn’t that mean they were still alive? How come my soulers turn around and leave them behind? This never happened before! None of this ever happened before!
