Chapter 21 - Against The Platoon Leader

After declaring his seriousness in the battle, the enemy platoon leader shouted at the top of his lungs, "GLACIAL AUGMENTATION!"

At that very moment, the essence of ice began enveloping his great axe. The old man suddenly smiled at the next moment. He shouted toward Heracles, "Entertain me more, you brat! Let's see how those noble fuckers taught your little ass!"

The platoon leader charged toward Heracles without any hesitation. He began attacking the young prince relentlessly. 'The swing of his great axe is freezing everything it cuts! I must not let it touch me or else I would be done for!' Heracles thought to himself as he was evading the relentless attacks of his enemy.

The platoon leader began to be frustrated when he couldn't hit Heracles, despite all of his hard work. When he had enough, he decided he needs to do something that would give him a considerable advantage.

At the next moment, the platoon leader did a huge swing to ensure that Heracles would back down a lot. When he did, the platoon leader shouted with a smile on his face, "Frosty Prison!"

At that very moment, numerous spikes of ice began forming above Heracles' position. Before the young prince could react, those ice spikes began falling from the sky, forming a prison that restricted Heracles' movement.

"You are done for, you brat! How dare you assume you can kill this great me!? A lot of people have tried! No one succeeded because I fucking killed them all!" the old platoon leader said as he walked toward Heracles' direction.

As he began to go to his attack position, the enemy platoon leader said with a smile on his face, "I will see you in hell when I get there, you br-!"

Before he could finish his sentence, Heracles shouted at the top of his lungs, "INFERNO BLAZE!!!"

At that very moment, a black flame came out of his hands, which burned everything in its way. When the Frosty Prison skill got melted, Heracles immediately fired his skill toward the platoon leader. In response, the platoon leader used his great axe to defend against the nefarious black flame that Heracles fired through his way.

'How in the world is a kid like him have a skill in this level? I only have two in my arsenal at this old age of mine!' the enemy platoon leader wondered to himself as he tried his best to defend against the attack of Heracles.

When he stopped the flame, the platoon leader was shocked beyond belief upon seeing his great axe fully melted. "WHAT THE FUCK HAVE YOU DONE!? YOU JUST DESTROYED MY BELOVED WEAPON!!!" shouted the enemy platoon leader with enraged expression.

At that very moment, the aura around the old man suddenly changed. He said to Heracles with a ferocious demeanor, "You forced my hand, young prince of the domain. I will ensure that you would greet your ancestor right here at this moment!"

At that very moment, the enemy platoon leader shouted at the top of his lungs, "GLACIAL AXE! FRIGID PROTECTION!"

A moment later, an enormous axe suddenly formed at the hands of the platoon leader. At the same time, a fortified block of ice began enveloping his body like an armor.

Upon seeing the action of his enemy, Heracles thought to himself, 'He used his two Epic-tier skills! Can I fend him off just using my Alexander's Swordmanship skill? Well, I have to do this to gain more battle experience!'

The two Epic-tier skills that the platoon leader did not just enhance his defense, it also increases his overall combat capabilities, which pushed Heracles even more to a corner. 'I am getting pushed back by this old man! Still, fighting against someone strong makes my blood boil! It's a pity that I got a crafting system! No wonder my father wanted me to have a combat system! Well, there's no use dwelling in that!' he thought to himself as he try to fight his way toward the old platoon leader.

"As expected of someone from the Overlord Family! You are still able to fight against me after all the buffs that I put to myself! Well, things are getting harder for you!" said the platoon with a serious expression.

At that very moment, the attacks of the enemy leader began to be more vicious than before. Heracles' body felt the stress of fighting against someone with more strength that he has.

'I need to finish this battle once and for all! I can't use my Inferno Blaze because I used up all my chances for this day! It seems like it is of no use to cast my Fiery Flame, so I must not waste any of my mana! What do I do!?' He could only ask to himself as he was getting pushed back by the enemy's attack bit by bit.

Because of one mishap, the enemy platoon leader was able to seize a moment to hit Heracles with his great axe. Fortunately, Heracles was able to dodge his attack, which avoided getting a considerable amount of damage. Still, he got scratched by the enemy's great axe, which immediately froze because of the passive effect of the enemy leader's skill.

At that very moment, Heracles was distracted because of his frozen wound, which made a huge opening for the old enemy. "I got you now, you brat!!!" shouted the enemy platoon leader as he swung his great axe real hard.

In order to protect himself, Heracles shouted, "Heavenly Flame!!!"

At that very moment, a white flame suddenly came out of the palms of the young prince. This flame burned both the Glacial Axe skill and Frigid Protection skill of the enemy. He knew that he still need to torture the old platoon leader, so he spared his life by only destroying what protected the old man.

At the next moment, Heracles chopped both of the old man's hands in order to ensure that the latter could do nothing against him.

"I have lost, young prince! Kill me, so that I could die in honor!"
