Chapter 889 [Bonus chapter] I Acted First
It kept trying, trying to resist and fight my ball. Yet after an entire day of struggle, it ended up releasing one hundred pillars inside my black hole.
All of them worked to deplete the energy stored inside that orb and get it over my shadow world. I didn’t know if this would cause any change in my shadow world, but hopefully it would change it for the better.
From time to time, the orb would try to resist and try to cut off these pillars, ending up making them get much brighter as a response. I regretted not having full control over my technique, or else I’d be able to control such fierce ability and keep using it all the time.
This fight lasted for an entire week! I didn’t imagine it would take this long for my forces to crush the enemy.
As for that giant, it fell just at day five! Five continuous days of constant attacks and at last it fell.
I knew it was tough, but I never imagined it to be this hard to kill.
Once it fell down, the rest of its minions were much easily killed. And with the end of day seven, the entire world was now under my control.
All but these two artefacts.
I knew each artefact held the energy and bones from races here for long years. Were they hundreds or thousands of years old? Or perhaps even more!
I looked at the leaders of the ten races and Lucias. Once they killed their last group of enemies, they led their forces and came towards my direction.
“Stay back,” but unlike what they expected, I sent them all away, “don’t come near me. Go back to the upper world and then use the tunnel to go to the surface. Lucias knows the way towards the gates. Go out of here and wait for me in my world.”
“But lord…” Oliver spoke first. I knew that the leaders changed their perspective towards me. In their eyes, I wasn’t their enemy but their ally and lord.
But it wasn’t time for that! These two artefacts kept coming at me with everything they got. If they remained near me, they’d get killed without doubt.
The last thing I needed was to add more losses, especially after taking full control of the entire pocket world. There was not a single hostile force lying here anymore; all belonged to me.
The only thing that kept resisting me was these two artefacts. And taking them down was just a matter of time, a long time actually.
I expected a month to pass before they’d end up depleted from their energy and bones.
“Just go, this will last forever and you need to cross a large distance already,” I motioned with my head as my two hands were quite busy at the moment.
“Let’s listen to lord, once he made up his mind nothing can change it,” Lucias said to Oliver before leading them all out towards the tunnel.
As the energy orb artefact was busy dealing with me, it had no time to deal with them. It tried to gush out a new pillar of energy, but it was all stopped by my chariot.
I controlled it to stop just in the way between the orb and that tunnel, blocking that pillar and crushing it without causing much damage to my forces.
The orb didn’t give up, but it failed to stop my forces from climbing up back to their world. It took almost three days for them to move up there and leave this place.
And then I got to hear nothing back from them.
This fight kept going on for long weeks. No matter how hard the two artefacts tried, I kept blocking all their attempts until they placed their last stretch of struggle four months after my forces left.
It took much longer than I expected, but when I saw the dens of bones and that orb shine together in a new change, I knew it was time for the two to die.
I had a long time to think about this last cry of theirs. What did they get to stop me? It was nothing but launching the weapon.
I didn’t know if this weapon could cause enough damage to my universe shield, but I knew it would damage my beloved second Earth world, not to mention getting me in the mess.
So instead of waiting for these two to act, I started to act first.
I couldn’t do anything with my hands, but I could use my legs. So once I felt the approach of this moment by the obvious decrease in the amount of light dots flashing from the den of bones and the dim light of that orb, and I started to activate my sacrifices.
I activate strength, defence, and heal sacrifices. And just as I did, I took out my dragon glaive, kicked it high in the air before jumping after it.
With a kick, I sent my baby towards that orb. If there was anything that could pose a threat to me here then it would be that orb.
Its stored up energy was the only thing that could fuel that weapon and charge it to fire or even worse… Explode!
As my glaive stabbed that orb, it leaked lots of energy out of it. I couldn’t help but take such risk, enduring the gush of such pure and deadly energy with everything I got.
I got my pillar shield, my chariot’s shield, then my sacrifice shield. Three layers of shield weren’t enough to stop the first gust of energy towards me.
I ended up falling on the ground and rolling for hundreds of metres before stopping. This was the first time I felt such pain and got such heavy wounds.
But before I even stood up on my feet again, the healing aura around me kicked in and healed my wounds and relieved my pain.
It was a great feeling, and the best of it was the effective combo of my defences here with my healing.
