"This won't do," I realised after one hour of doing this that it wasn't going to work at all without dealing with the source of the problem itself, "I need to take down these portals first."
I noticed that my offensive attacks accumulated together, and kept pushing the outer force until they cleared an area of hundreds of metres.
But it wasn't enough to take down or even touch a single portal out there.
What I needed to do was obvious, and I didn't hesitate to do it. I controlled my chariot, moved towards the end of the protective zone cleared out by my offensive skills.
The moment I reached there, it seemed like the entire shields got moved out with me. This aided the offensive force at the forefront, pushing the outer force a bit further.
It was slow, but it was still a progress. I didn't stop summoning more shields, or activating the accumulated damage once per half a minute.
At this rate, and in less than half an hour, the outer force got pushed back by hundreds of metres. And this time, few portals appeared inside the cleared zones.
The moment they got inside, I felt like they got severed from something they were connected with.
The pillars that came out from them started to fade away slowly. The portals were already huge, and so they didn't enter with their total bodies inside my free zone.
However just by being there, even if it was partially, the connection they got with the outside world got severed. I watched the pillars dying down, and not a single pillar remained after the passage of one more hour.
The moment these pillars died down, I watched cracks appearing on the surface of these portals. "So they were only here to release such a scary attack, tsk!" I thought I'd get something great out of this. However it all turned out to be an item storing such a formidable force and got easily crushed.
*Thud!* *Thud!*
The portals started to crumble on their own, falling all over the ground of the island, releasing such loud thudding noises.
It sounded a bit weird. And that attracted my attention to these pieces.
"What are these?" I jumped off my chariot and inspected one of them.
[Dark energy gate piece: A very formidable piece that got an unparalleled amount of energy inside]
"Amount of energy? Unparalleled amount of energy?!!" I first froze without knowing what that meant before something flashed in my mind.
"Is it like that godly essence I got from before?!" I was inwardly shocked and quite delighted when I realised this.
These pieces… All these pieces… They were all priceless sources of energy! And I got them for free!
The most exciting thing about this was that these portals broke up into a really huge number of pieces.
And there were one thousand portals if not more on this island!
Damn! That… These enemies of mine were very generous towards me!
As I realised such unexpected loot, I instantly turned my attention towards crushing the entire portals and gathering up more of these.
To do so, it was worth it to use my bones!
I instantly took bones to cover the area cleared by my shields and offensive ability before gushing all this energy into the shields.
And the next attack came strong enough to push the outer force in mere seconds by more than three folds!
Seeing this made me instantly take out more bones and do the same. The more I used bones, the slower the expansion became.
This wasn't because the outer force got adapted to my offensive ability and shields, but it was thanks to the huge area covered up by my shields.
That made the expansion speed quite slow. And in eight hours, I finally managed to break almost seventy percent of the entire portal. And the moment that happened, the entire island started to crumble.
"Phew! I got it down…" I watched while the island got broken into giant boulders before falling alongside the entire portals on it to the ground.
The fall was quite brutal, and I saw the ground at the distance tremble from such impact. However that wasn't what truly shocked me.
"This… The entire island… The entire island is made out from the same high calibre energy as portals… Hahahaha! Thanks a lot, thanks for all this help, hahahaha!"
I couldn't believe it! It was like I found a colossal mine of precious and extremely rare ores out of nowhere appearing in front of me!
After that, I knew taking out everything would be quite a long and tiring process. I didn't want to get stuck here. I wanted to go and scan the entire world and see if there were other islands around or not.
First these islands were indeed real killers! I needed to take them down or else my forces back there would be in grave danger.
And above all, I craved such immensely rich energy stones. So I took out my cube, injected ten dark realm bones, and got its area of suction to one hundred miles.
I didn't care what it would suck in as long as it would get me my energy stones.
It didn't take more than a few seconds to suck everything inside that cube. And then I started to move around, flying all over the place, looking for more islands to hunt.
And just in less than four hours, I spotted my second island.
I took it down the same way I did before, and this time I did it a lot faster than my first attempt. I knew what I should do to take this colossal thing down.
After that, I started a long spree of hunting these islands down. After two days of doing this, and as I took down thirty of such islands, a new change occurred.
"They group lots of islands together… Interesting!"
What welcomed me this time wasn't a single island, but a group of a hundred! Damn! I took all this time to take down thirty islands. And just now one hundred stood in front of me, blocking my path.
