Chapter 1091 Phase Two
Chapter 1091 Phase Two
"RAARRGGH!!"
A thunderous, ear-shattering roar came out of the Executor's mouth as he exerted his all.
One could see that he was pouring out everything he had. Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Rex gazed upwards, following the trail of energy that the Executor let out before he frowned.
He was greeted by countless purple portals, ominous gateways to the Abyss itself—loomed ominously in the sky—their presence casting a pall of dread over the battlefield. Purple void is the only thing that can be seen through the portals.
But even as they were still manifesting—a crowded growl could be heard coming from them.
In an instant, from within these portals emerged a horde of chaos monsters.
Each more grotesque and fearsome than the last, pouring forth in an unending stream—their twisted forms blotting out the sky as they descended upon the battlefield with savage intent—excited that they were given the chance to see the light.
As seconds passed, the ranks of the chaos monsters swelled.
Just their numbers, multiplying until the entire battlefield teemed with their malevolent forms alone made the onlookers gasp. However—the sight of these monsters was a delight for Rex as he could tell that this was a desperate attempt by the Executor.
Despite the number of these monsters being terrifying, their powers were not.
At most, these monsters were only in the sixth-rank realm.
Growl!
Raargh!!
Most of the chaos monsters instantly attack whatever they see out of instinct.
Because of their sheer numbers, the ground trembled beneath their stampede, their hideous visages twisted into expressions of savage hunger and malice. Even in the face of such sight—none of the Supernatural and reinforcement army backed away.
It was clear that the battle was still on their side, and the Execetuor was struggling hard.
Calling back the Amuerus Katana and also the Blood Devourer—soaked in blood—Rex raised them skywards and exploded with a powerful aura—signaling to his forces to charge and kill everything standing in their way.
Boom!
Almost the instant Rex shot forward, the Executor pivoted around and turned to flee.
Even though Rex could've caught up to the Executor, he was instantly swarmed by the chaos monsters—numbering in the thousands. Some were taken the shape of a humanoid monster, while some were shaped like animals and insects.
Paying no mind to these harmless monsters, Rex cleaved them with both of his weapons.
Blood sprayed everywhere his weapons went.
However, there were some smaller monsters who managed to grab ahold of him.
<The user is affected by the Strength of Millions skill!>
<1x multiplier has taken effect>
Upon seeing the notification, Rex raised an eyebrow as he didn't know what that meant.
He was unfamiliar with what this foreign skill does.
But that doesn't mean he would let these small monsters use their skills on him.
Activating his Red Force—he was able to create a skin-tight shield to protect his body from being touched by these small chaos monsters, yet Rex was surprised when he saw that the Red Force did nothing to them.
Each one of them was still able to touch his skin, bypassing the Red Force.
As Rex was perplexed by these weak but annoying monsters, more of them attached to him.
<7x multiplier has taken effect>
<15x multiplier...>
<31x multiplier...>
Only when the multiplier grows higher and higher does Rex realize what is happening to him.
Even though these monsters are weak, this Strength of Millions skill... It made my body feel heavier and heavier the higher the multiplier grew. So this is your desperate plan, Executor, you are going to stall me?
Now Rex understands what these chaos monsters the Executor summoned were capable of.
Swoosh!
Brandishing his weapons, he knocked off the small chaos monsters that were shaped like a leech—sucking and attaching themselves to his body. He then gazed onward and saw that the Executor was commanding the remaining Human Army directly.
Crisis could be seen on his face.
"Sir, should we retreat? We lost a lot of people and couldn't push more!"
One military commander reported—an evident concern in his tone.
Knowing that the Dead Man's Creek was definitely guarded by Supernaturals too—this poor commander understands that the army wouldn't be able to pierce though. But this question angered the Executor and made him slap the commander's head right off.
Splash!
A fountain of blood splurted out of the commander's headless corpse.
Many who saw this gasped and were terrified to the core.
"Nobody is going to retreat today, we are going to push forward!" the Executor commanded.
Upon hearing this, the remaining Human Army was dead silent.
Ignoring even the mood around his own army—the Executor turned towards the Dead Man's Creek and lowered his stance, "I will lead and carve the path, all of you will follow behind me. Brigitta, if anyone tries to retreat, kill them!"
Appearing out of thin air, Brigitta nodded firmly, "Yes, master!"
Fixing his gaze towards the Supernatural Army led by Maltrox and Carmilla—the Executor's eyes gleamed with sinister intent. Flicking his fingers, a purplish object materialized beside him, coalescing into a totem adorned with three layered glyphs.
Not wasting a single second, the Executor grabbed the totem and planted it into the ground.
Bam!
Almost instantly, the totem shattered and created a shockwave of energy.
It encompassed the entire Human Army before covering each human with its radiant energy.
"Get out of my way!!" the Executor roared and blasted forward.
Swoosh!
Possessing the tenacity of a galloping bull—the Executor surged forward—using the radiant energy bestowed by the totem as a shield. He accustomed himself to the energy in a breeze before he propelled himself forward even faster with a thunderous booming sound.
Like an arrow, he pierced through the Demons and Vampires, paving a clear straight path.
Upon seeing this, the Human Army reacted and quickly followed him.
Brigitta was leading at the very front as she sprinted through the scorched path forward.
Noticing that the Human Army was making a desperate attempt to head to the Dead Man's Creek, the Supernatural Army jumped on the way, trying to stop their momentum. But even though they succeeded in knocking some Awakened out, they were soon surprised.
Despite clawing the Awakened with full strength, the Awakened was unharmed.
He simply stood back up and ran forward again.
It catches numerous Supernaturals off guard as they are definitely stronger than the humans they chose to attack. Knowing to aim for those weaker than themselves, their clawed strikes should have effortlessly cleaved through their human targets.
Especially the normal Humans that were only empowered by the Executor's power.
But instead of dying, these Humans resumed their sprint unhindered.
Realizing that the totem the Executor summoned was the cause of this—making the Human Army invulnerable to any kind of attack. Carmilla's sharp eyes squinted before she made the decision to command the remaining Supernatural Army for a counter-play.
'Cut the tail of the snake!' She commanded, sending a telepathy to the army's captains.
Stopping the Executor's charge is definitely impossible for them.
Moreover, doing the same to Brigitta would also be quite hard as her power could easily rival Carmilla herself—but that was not the case for the rest of the Human Army. Following closely behind the Executor, the Human Army formed a snake formation.
Some strong individuals were stationed to guard the back based on Brigitta's command.
However, it was obvious the formation was only very strong at the front.
Due to that analysis—Carmilla concluded that the most effective strategy would be to sever the body of the Human Army's formation and obstruct their advance—preventing them from following the Executor's lead.
Although unaware of the Executor's intention, it was clear that he needed his army.
Carmilla wouldn't let the Executor have his way.
"Rrrgh...." She grunted—focusing on the Field Spell with her massive amount of blood energy—knowing that her forces needed her help to fend off the chaos monsters and intercept the Human Army. "Raargghh!!!"
Boom!
Sacrificing her well-being, she pushed herself to the limit and strengthened the others.
Feeling the increase in blood energy, the Vampires growled strongly.
Gritting their teeth, the stronger Vampires broke and disentangled themselves from the clasp of chaos monsters—whose sheer numbers were capable of weakening them—and rallied to assist their comrades before charging at the Human Army, heeding Carmilla's command.
Even though it was slow, their persistent attempt slowly amassed a considerable charge.
Not only the Vampires, the Demons also did the same.
Maltrox realized the situation and came to the same conclusion as Carmilla's.
However—the chaos monsters displayed unexpected intelligence—coalescing into a colossal wall that shielded the flank of the advancing Human Army. This impromptu barrier effectively thwarted the strategy of the Supernatural Army.
Surprisingly, these chaos monsters' power was also a versatile one.
It was quite a troublesome power.
Not only could the Strength of Millions skill able to weaken a target, but it could also be used to enhance their durabilities. With each stack of chaos monsters climbing the makeshift walls—the walls were reinforced and became stronger.
Regardless of the enhancement from Carmilla, fatiguing herself, the wall was too strong.
On the other side, Rex knew that this was a troublesome situation.
He found himself being impeded by the chaos monsters that kept on attaching themselves—each hurling itself at him heedlessly without any care for their lives. If he got affected slightly—slow to catch up to the Executor, then the others would be affected even more.
Swatting away the leeches from his body, he leaped to the sky to gain a better view.
Looking at the battlefield from the sky, it was covered in chaos monsters.
At the very front—heading to the Dead Man's Creek with incredible speed was the Executor who didn't stop for anything. Moreover, he saw what the Supernatural Army was doing, their attempt caught his attention.
Not only the Vampires' side but the Demons' side were also blocked by the makeshift walls.
It was very hard for them to destroy these walls.
Even if the stronger Vampires and Demons were able to shatter some—the damaged walls were instantly repaired with more chaos monsters that were ready to move. It was obvious that they needed more raw power support.
Glancing to the side, his eyes landed on Flunra, approaching him through the tide of chaos.
"Flunra!" Rex shouted before pointing at the wall of chaos monsters.
Upon hearing his name being called by the Alpha—Flunra looked in the direction where Rex was pointing before his body burned with more seething power. He knew instantly what he needed to do, storming through the tide of chaos monsters and heading to the walls.
Harnessing his energy around his body, Flunra flexed his entire body and slammed the walls.
Boom!
A powerful, reverberating sound echoed throughout the battlefield.
Not having enough chaos monsters to provide cover from Flunra and the Vampires from the third generation, capitalizing on their innate powerful strength and blood energy—the walls shattered and a hole to connect with the Human Army was formed.
Despite that powerful impact, the chaos monsters were quick to repair the wall.
Its damage was repaired in a mere second.
Flunra clicked his tongue when he saw this, but he kept pounding non-stop with full force.
He was hoping that he could keep a hole open for the Vampires to reach the Human Army.
Seeing this, Rex frowned, and the situation was far from over.
"MAVENNA!!" He shouted thunderously.
As Rex's commanding voice echoed through the sky above the battlefield, Mavenna, located on the Demon side of the battlefield raised her gaze and swiftly beat her wings in an attempt to ascend towards Rex.
But she found that she couldn't reach Rex as the chaos monsters were holding onto her.
It felt like she was carrying an entire castle on her back because of these pests.
Upon seeing this, Rex extended his hand, signaling for her to give him something.
Even though she was being chewed on by the chaos monsters, feeling pain all over her body—Mavenna summoned a blob of energy that turned to be Life Essence before she threw it at Rex with a heavy grunt.
On top of being Rex's assistant in this battle, she also has another task.
Mavenna was tasked to gather Life Essences as much as she could to help Rex ascend.
'That's all I can gather, Rex...' She pondered, sinking down to the ground. 'I hope it's enough'
Similarly to her, Rex caught the blob of Life Essence and allowed himself to hope.
Hoping that the Life Essence she gathered is enough to help him reach the ninth epiphany.
