I got near one thousand bones. And that wasn’t the end of it. This fight once done and concluded for my side, I was sure doubling this number was just a breeze.
I got most of that after the augmentation I got after visiting the death shrine. At this moment I realised how valuable such a gift was.
So even if she brought one hundred thousand soulers, I was ready to pay for all of them. As for the souls needed for their life, I decided to leave the four million soul points in my account untouchable for now.
Five souls per day for each one was a big consumption rate considering the huge number of one hundred thousand I hoped to get. But who said I’d just leave such deadly force idle?
If luck was on my side and I managed to kill this dragon archlord here, then his territory would be empty and waiting for anyone to reap it.
I’d be among others fighting to claim that void territory. I’d aim for the west side from here, expanding my territory and setting a foot into the mid zone of this big continent.
So wars wouldn’t stop and souls would be like running water for me. In addition to that, the previous deal with the nymph girl would be completed.
I’d gain lots of those hostile races who were trading in human lives. Souls wouldn’t be a problem, not until six months from now at least.
As I ended this deal with her, I opened my chat with my team and gave them one single order:
[Prepare to fight and push all the way towards the city]
Of course this order came as shocking news to them. Even that jumper who used to bite at me around any corner remained silent for long minutes.
During that time, I waited for the lady to send her first batch of soulers. I left my boys fighting and killing in the middle of the enemy army, waiting for the right moment to retaliate.
The plan was simple. What was the hottest and most painful point in the enemy grand army? Of course it was the city!
In such wars, fighting a battle of attrition wouldn’t end up well for me. The only thing I could do was to use a surgical strike.
Gathering up all my elites, moving like a sharp dagger and fiercely stab the enemy at his heart.
Like this the grand numbers and various tools and weapons of the enemy wouldn’t help him. Instead this would be a terrible burden that the enemy would be lost while trying to react.
Of course my team started to shower me with crazy messages that I chose to ignore. They were notified, and when they saw what I’d do, they’d understand everything.
I also decided to record this battle as well. I once recorded a fight before and decided to use it to show to other fellow humans what they could possibly do if they got strong enough.
And this fight here wasn’t any lesser in importance and significance than the previous battle. In fact this one held more value in my eyes.
After all, things here didn’t look well at all. Anyone here would simply decide to retreat and ditch this entire battle.
And that precisely was what gave this fight an advantage over the previous battle.
Of course provided that it ended up with my crushing victory and not defeat.
[You got soulers delivered from the Bringold impact]
[Soulers are bound to you]
As I waited for five more minutes, and after losing almost ten million after I ended my chat with Lady green nymph, the soulers finally arrived.
When I opened my inventory and saw the number of tokens there, I couldn’t help but laugh.
“That girl… She is really hungry for my bones.”
I expected to see a couple hundred soulers there. Yet I found almost eight thousand. She worked fast and delivered such a big number as our first trade.
Alright… I raised my head and looked at that dragon. Bastard… Just wait… I swore I’d make you regret facing me.
I didn’t stop thinking like this. Instead I raised my two hands middle fingers in the air, insulting him in the most humiliating way.
That bastard raised his eyebrow in shock. What? Did you think I’d run away? Or perhaps you thought I had nothing in my hand to do?
Then watch and learn…
The next instant I called back all my soulers in the entire battleground around me. Then I simply thought, and my chariot flashed like a bolt of lightning, headed directly towards one direction.
The city walls!
The distance between me and the city walls was crossed in the span of a few breaths. This move came as a surprise to everyone, including my teammates.
Just when I arrived there, I found large and deep tunnels running down the walls. Without any wait I called my chariot back, landed on the ground with my fallen gods, warriors, and those useless illusionists.
At this moment, the illusionists were forced to fight. Or else they would die. I took out my light weighted glaive, pointed towards the tunnels up front and roared with a single word:
“Attack!”
Like the god of death I moved towards one of the tunnels in front of me. The tunnel was one of dozens spanning all across the walls on my side.
It was twenty metres in width, ten in height, and it was already filled with lots and lots of enemies.
I ran without looking back, raised my glaive high and waved it with one hand. My other hand got a sword and started to kill the enemies who dared to come closer while I was waving my glaive for the second round.
The howls of enemies were brutal and deadly. They weren’t just facing me, but my entire forces as well.
The shield warriors used their ultimate combined attacks to create a deep groove at some point. I had to jump on the edge of that deep groove, attacking anyone surviving from this deadly attack.
At the same time my fallen gods landed their ultimate attacks, sweeping the enemies like they were dominoes.
My dragons flew and passed fast inside the tunnel. The tunnel went downwards for almost thirty metres in a sloppy way. Then a flat distance of almost ten to twenty metres was there before the tunnel started to go up.
My soulers were the fastest killers here. They just flashed and left behind a long trail of dead bodies.
My forces were divided across seven tunnels. Yet when I reached the other side, I found them waiting for me at the end of my tunnel.
They were fighting against the enemies without waiting for my orders. Just when I got out, I saw a flash before that gigantic semi-illusional body of a giant appeared in front of me.
He held his axe already in the air, preparing to land it. Without any hesitation I called my chariot and just when the axe landed, my precious girl blocked that attack successfully and defended even my scattered forces from this deadly attack.
I looked up at this giant then back to the area outside the city. My chariot started to rise in the air while I called back all my warriors except for soulers and illusionists.
I was already fed up with this bunch of cowards. Let them fight for their lives or die and relieve me of their useless burden.
As I looked over the city walls, my eyes met with the astounded and full rounded eyes of that dragon archlord.
He never expected me to do this. It seemed he was prepared to block any attempt of me to escape. Yet the thought of me fighting him over this city even in such dire state never crossed his mind.
I raised my glaive towards him and moved it in a motion to invite that dude for a direct clash between the two of us.
Once I did so, his eyebrows twitched and I laughed in mockery.
“Let me show you how fierce humans can be,” I turned to the sky, speaking as if I was speaking to an audience watching me, “Let me show you how us, humans, can be domineering, no less than any other powerhouse in any race here. Open your eyes and watch closely guys… This will be epic!”
As I said that, I stretched my two hands, one holding a sword and the other holding a glaive, before I let loose all the soulers I just bought.
The chariot looked like a den which released hidden animals to face the intruders. My soulers gushed out in waves, giving me the impression that I was the real ruler of this piece of land.
And as they appeared, flashes of black light came. I already took out tons of stat points, scattered these all over the ground around my chariot.
“Use the stat points and raise your levels boys! Go for level one hundred and then fight!”
The soulers once came out from my chariot and moved fast to clean a big area around my chariot. They were so hungry for souls it seemed. But it was far more important to raise their levels before doing anything else.
Just using my stat points let the black fog circulate like a fierce black fiery tornado in the entire area around. I looked over the entire city, feeling like I was a deadly general leading his deadly troops at this moment.
“Come out,” I didn’t hesitate to call back all my fallen gods, “see that big dude?” I pointed my glaive towards that giant, “once his axe lands over my chariot, send everything you got to hit him. He will be vulnerable in such a narrow window.”
I knew all along the flaw in that gigantic dude’s attack pattern. Yet I didn’t move against him until now. That was obviously because I wanted to lure that dragon dude to here.
As long as I kept fighting the incoming stream of forces from the gate without threatening that dragon archlord, then nothing would change here.
I had to attack that dude, to force him to break his pattern. Surprise moves just like the one I did was the only way to create a difference here.
Just as that giant landed another axe over my chariot’s shield, the fallen gods around me attacked.
Their ultimate attacks crashed down at the giant just at this moment. The body of the giant turned already corporeal for a brief moment, yet one moment was enough to cause enough devastation to make it fall.
He lost an arm, part of his leg, and his torso had a big gaping hole there. His body was filled with many wounds and he didn’t seem the majestic giant he was before.
And from far behind, I could hear a loud roar of anger coming from no one but that dragon archlord.
Yes… Get enraged bud, get mad and try to come at me.
At the same time, many messages came from all the team members and Wryly. They all asked what they should do for now, and I only sent one simple phrase as an answer to all
“Just wait for my mark.”
I had to lure that bastard to here so he would be trapped in a fight against me. This was the way to pave the path for my forces scattered outside to make a comeback.
Yet unlike what I expected, that dude was more tenacious and far more patient than I thought. He simply took out a staff with a strange white skull on its top, raised it high in the air before a golden energy swirled all around him.
His eyes flashed in bright yellow light before another giant came to this earth. I knew he must have more cards up his sleeve, and that was precisely why I didn’t rush to send in all my forces while he was out there.
“You don’t want to come and honour me with that ugly face of yours… Then I’ll force you to come,” I instantly turned my attention towards one direction, totally ignoring that new giant which flashed and appeared next to my chariot.
