Chapter 784 [Bonus chapter] The Battling Arena - Part 1
The moment the glaive touched the claws of that beast, its bronzed eyes shone as if it realised the danger it was in.
*Roar!* it tried to move the other three legs and even bit over my glaive with its sharp teeth and tusks. Yet that was futile!
*Boom!* it could only stop my glaive for one second before it was sent flying high in the air, fell in such loud booming before its body turned all into bronzed dust particles.
It died out, just from a single hit from my glaive.
How cool was that?
“Let’s bring one post out,” I opened the arena interface where there was a special inventory for my things there. I selected one post and the next thing happened was for the entire area to get brightened in bronze colour.
The area here was almost half a mile in radius, seemingly half the size of my castle area.
“That’s… Amazing!!!”
I thought that the post would be just walls and one or two towers. But what appeared in front of me was something different.
It was an entire defensive tower, rising up for a hundred metres. It got a giant diamond hovering on top of it, releasing a circular ray of light around the tower, covering up a distance of a mile radius.
“This… It’s a really strong tower,” I wasn’t just impressed by it. I was thinking about the enemy posts as well. “Sigh, I have no time to waste here.”
I wanted to stay and better examine this tower. As it was this massive, it got three levels where it had offensive ballistae.
It was apparent that this tower would perform better if I assigned people to it.
Could I summon my fallen gods here? No way! Anything living was prevented from coming here from outside the arena.
So the only option I had was to lead forces here myself. The castle would spawn four waves, one to each path and one staying under my control at the castle.
“That’s why there is another wave then… Interesting arrangement,” I muttered in understanding while I went towards the next post.
Each place I visited had such monsters there. It didn’t take me more than one minute to arrive at a new location, and a few seconds to kill the monster and relay the post.
In less than ten minutes, I got all the posts available for me under my control.
Then I moved my eyes at the direction of the fog region while muttering:
“Reveal the fog!”
I used the item I bought before to reveal the fog.
[The Fog Clearance magic tool is activated]
[Now you can see the opponent’s zone for half a minute]
[Each minute you will be able to see for thirty seconds randomly allocated]
The fog in front of me didn’t change, but when I opened the map I saw something different.
The fog was cleared and now I could see the other half of this place clearly. The king was presented in red dot, moving towards the opposite direction of mine.
I was already in the forest zone between the southern and middle paths, just near the area of that Hector king.
“Hmm… He is moving fast, but not as fast as me,” this was the first comment I got from watching the other side of the map.
The zones I changed into posts, which were already all my zones here, were all shining in green circles. As for the enemy’s, he got only to deploy five posts so far, and was heading towards the sixth area.
He started from the south, and headed north. He placed most attention towards the zones near his castle, leaving all the frontline empty.
“Ok, let me help you then,” I evilly grinned before stepping towards the enemy region.
[Warning! You can’t step into the opponent region until the ten minutes are over!]
However, just as I tried to step inside his territory, I was blocked with a soft barrier that prevented me from going forward while not giving me any harm.
“Is there such a thing?” I looked at the map again and there was a flashing timer that was counting the time passing here.
And there was less than one minute left.
“Ok, let me wait then,” I was already so far from that king. So even if he used the same gadget and saw me standing here, he wouldn’t be able to do anything.
He made the mistake of not controlling all the posts in time. He just controlled the part near his castle, and was now working on the northern part of the map to expand this number.
I counted the remaining seconds before the effect of the fog clearing item ended. The king was already on his way to the sixth point, and that meant he would need a couple more minutes to clear the monster there.
“It’s time!” as the timer hit ten minutes, I didn’t even spare a second to check the messages that popped up in front of my eyes, and went directly towards the front.
The barrier was gone. And I managed to step into that king’s zone without any problems.
“Got you!” I reached the first zone where a monster was there. It didn’t take me a hit to kill it, and a second to deploy my post before hurrying towards the nearest monster location.
I didn’t get the vision help from the fog clearing item, but I memorised the places of the nearest monster. Midway though, the item got activated and I saw that king still fighting at the point at the far north.
“Keep wasting time, idiot,” I smirked while memorising the place of the next monster.
I killed two more and stopped. Like this, I controlled three of this king’s posts. I could go for the fourth, but that king already finished the northern battle, and was heading as well towards the last post.
If we both reached there together, a big battle would erupt between the two of us.
