Chereads / Empyrean Defiance / Chapter 26 - Ganging Up

Chapter 26 - Ganging Up

After the enemy platoon leader asked him about his intention, Heracles couldn't help but be furious. He said to her, "Someone who's about to die has no business knowing all those answers. I already annihilated your base. I will let you follow them!"

Before he knew it, Heracles shouted, "HEAVENLY FLAME!"

He launched a white flame toward the enemy platoon leader that burned her through her bone. She could not do anything in the face of a Legendary-tier skill.

[Congratulations! You finished your sub-quest!

The system is in awe of your cleverness! Thus, it awarded you an additional Legendary-tier skill besides the two Epic-tier skills that you will receive as a reward!]

'Tch! I finished her too early! I wanted to gain more battle experience from her! My temper needs to be controlled! Especially now that I learned about killing other people! I need to be responsible as someone from the Overlord Family that oversees the whole domain!' Heracles thought to himself at that moment.

"I got one hammer skills and two swords skills? The Unending Ripper must be the Legendary-tier skill! This is the first time that I received a hammer attack skill. I better try it out later using the hammer that my master gave me!" Heracles murmured to himself as he walked toward the first base that they encountered.

When he was just about to reach his destination, a notification suddenly appeared in front of Heracles.

[Your partner just annihilated the other base by himself! Now, it is time for the next step of your plan!

~ You need to destroy two bases by yourself!

~ Let your guard finished the other two bases by himself!

~ You will receive 20 free skill points if you finished this quest!

~ Additionally, you will be awarded a Legendary-tier skill!

~ If you fail this quest, your status will be reduced by 30 points randomly!

~ You have three days to finish this quest!]

Upon seeing the reward for this sub-quest, Heracles' eyes began sparkling with excitement. "I have the chance to gain another Legendary-tier skill!? Father taught me the importance of Legendary-tier skills! They are the pivots of the wars! I must collect as many as I could to be of help to him!"

After resting at the bottom base of the Triton Organization, Heracles left a note for Leonard. It relayed his command to attack the other two bases beyond the one that he attack. Upon leaving that note, Heracles did not hesitate on moving forward.

'I will be able to test all the new skills that I got from my system! I will try to attack one base without using any tricks!' Heracles thought to himself as he rushed toward the next enemy base.

In less than an hour, Leonard managed to reach the bottom based after finishing the young prince's command. With little effort, he found the letter that entails the command of the one he was serving. Without any delay, he immediately went to uphold his command.

'Is his Sword Vulcan system really a crafting system?' Leonard could only ask to himself. After all, he learned about the next part of the young prince's sub-quest. Without putting much thought into it, he just focused on finishing his job before reuniting with Heracles.

Meanwhile, after running toward the next base, Heracles was near toward his destination. He decided to rest before attacking the base head-on. 'All of my skills will be ready to use in ten minutes! I better prepare my resolve more this time! I need to gain more battle experience, so that I could be of help to my father!' he thought to himself as he was resting.

After ten minutes, Heracles' relaxed expression suddenly became very serious. Without any hesitation on his face, he charged toward the enemy base to start the next battle of his day. "FOOLISH PEOPLE OF TRITON ORGANIZATION! SHOW YOURSELVES IN FRONT OF ME! IT IS TIME FOR ALL OF YOU TO MEET YOUR DOOM!" the young prince shouted with great vigor.

 

Upon hearing his mockery, everyone in the base, including the platoon leader, showed up in front of the young prince. "Who the fuck dares to insult the honor of my great Triton Organization!?" the platoon leader said with a menacing expression.

At that very moment, Heracles began scraping off the enemy forces to diminish their numbers as much as he could. He shouted, "Inferno Flame!"

After launching the black flame from his hand, Heracles managed to defeat three squads without putting much any efforts. "How dare you kill my subordinates in front of this great me!?" the enemy platoon leader shouted as he charged toward the young prince.

Before he could reach the young prince, Heracles brought out his heavy silver hammer. When the enemy platoon leader reached a certain distance, he shouted at the top of his lungs, "DEADLY SLAM!!!"

At that very moment, the heavy silver hammer was surrounded with overwhelming force. Before the platoon leader could react, Heracles slammed the shit out of him. With the overwhelming slam, the enemy platoon leader got thrown away to a great distance.

'Oh, that was fun! Hopefully, I get more hammer-related attack skills!' the young prince thought to himself upon seeing his enemy fly away.

When the platoon leader got up with bloody face, he commanded his comrades, "KILL THAT FUCKING KID!!! CHARGE, MY MEN! LET US JOIN FORCE TO KILL HIM!!!"

Upon seeing Heracles' strength himself, the platoon realized he stood no chance if he ever fought the young one in front of him. For that very reason, he rallied his men to attack a single enemy, despite it being dishonorable.

"You decided to gang up on me, huh? Well, that's a bummer! I better finish this battle right to have a rest earlier!"
