Chereads / Astral Domination / Chapter 25 - Massacre

Chapter 25 - Massacre

The veil from the dimension portal lifted , again shining a light so bright it filled the whole cave.

I have now lived for over 6 months in the cave , the darkness has become my friend and disturbing the darkness of the cave , this light hurt our eyes .

Doesn't matter how many level ups I get or how many stats I possess , it isn't getting any better.

Closing the eyes and putting hand on the eyes , we march forward albeit slowly.

In all the previous matches we were the ones who reached the barrier wall in the battlefield , but this time we got beaten.

They are already there but I still can't make about their details , the battlefield seems at the very least 4 times the last one.

Just goes to show the force we are facing. How this being got so strong so fast and here I was considering my class is overpowered.

After a few short moments I can now barely make out their silhouettes , their force so large its covering that entire massive battlefield.

Another few moments I can now see the force's frontlines , its size so massive my 'army' is like a rock against a mountain.

The force containing orcs in chainmail , carrying massive axes as big as themselves . Ogres wearing robes and holding on what seems to be a magic artifact to either boost their magic power or stores some spell like the ones we have.

Massive dire wolves , armored with chainmail carrying more orcs .

There are even more behind them but that's all I can see as of now.

And standing at the very front of this massive army was a human man , his body unconsciously releasing an aura that can be felt even all the way here across the battlefield.

The 6+ foot man with muscle and stature of a warrior that has fought countless battles ,seems to be wearing some fancy armor silver plates with golden accent straight out of a fantasy world. His eyes brown and his hair white , not the old age white but the natural ones.

He is carry a sword that seems to be an 1.3 m japanese odachi , the hilt of the blade obsidian black and the blade itself dark , as dark was shadow.

He stood alone at the command , no one on his sides showing there isn't someone equal to him , at least not at the front lines.

Just his aura and figure was enough to send shivers down my spine , my body shakes for a moment but I instantly recover.

I knew from the very start I had to fight an monster , a monster even stronger than me and I was prepared for this power difference from the very start.

[observe]

[error! Target's level higher than host]

[observe][observe][observe][observe][observe]

[error !][error !][error !][error !][error !]

Fuckkk , not a single soldier has level lower than mine .

And as soon as my inner turmoil ends , my eyes get locked with the old man and his face showing a smug face and an expression of pity for me

Unlike the case of eve , he has strength backing that smile , overwhelmingly so.

Mother fucker !!!

'Everyone , the enemy we are facing is not only stronger than us , they also beat us in numbers . We can't do shit to their army but that doesnt mean we will go down without a fight.'

'My soldiers , now is the time to prove your loyalty and worth to me , go and fight them with all you got . If you cant kill them , trick them , if you can't trick them , block them and if you cant block them slow them down.'

'The only way for us to win is if I can fight and win against their leader . WE WILL FIGHT !!!'  I sent an mental transmission to everyone.

'Chattels , give the duty to save core crystals to other strong troops ,I need everyone one of you here, NOW !' sent an transmission to the royal chattel.

And now we have finally reached the wall , from here I can roughly see their army got more orcs and ogres along with elves , dwarves , angels and even some trolls. But now I am sure their army doesn't have any flying creatures .

With me at the front , lith , ava , beatrice to my right and no.2 , greg ,eve and alice to my left and ember flying a bit over my head.

I have my silver' core covering my whole body as an armor , and making a sword but unlike his odachi mine is more of a broadsword covering my hand with its hilt. The length of the sword reaching 1.1 metres.

Our eyes met each other but this time I am not shivering neither am I scared . I know my opponent is strong and along with all the chattels I have to somehow defeat him before his army defeats mine.

My eyes burning with revolve , my hands on the hilt of sword and my legs ready to burst and charge forward.

These few moments of wait felt like a long time and soon,

*ding**ding*

[ATTACK !]

As soon as the ding came , [king's aura][grandmaster's aura][sprint][siren's blessing][haste]

*boom*boom*

Came two boom sounds , 1 from the ground breaking from the sheer force behind the movement and second was from me breaking the sound barrier , I am moving with speed greater than that of sound.

Arrows were launched by elves and the siege machines , the arrows having enchantments to boost their power . On the other hand ogres sent hundreds of fire balls , water balls and earthen spikes flying towards the enemy.

This would have been enough to destroy the enemy in any of the old matches he fought , but alas this is one is way too out of his hands.

Arrows came from their side too even though they weren't enchanted like ours their sheer quantity made up for that fact and by a massive margin.

Everyone from the chattel fired any AOE skill they had . Ember's molten rain , rained thousands of fire spears towards the enemy but the one that was dominating from our side was beatrice . Firing not only spears made of flame , some made of ice , spikes made of stone , whirlpool of fire and air to boost its strength.

All that happened in a few moments after that defensive system wall was lifted , and then came a very loud , 

*CLANG*

Ruth and the old man met each other's strike in the middle of the battlefield , the force behind those attacks so strong the air pressure went crazy , blowing away big and heavy creatures like orcs and even trolls.

No side was shown mercy , everyone that stood in the 50 meter radius of these two human monsters flew , some dying just from the force of air pressure that blew them .

[slave : orc was killed] x7

[slave : ogre was killed]x4

[slave : thunder wolf king was killed]x9

In the few moments of battle , happened something that has never happened before , my slaves died , even if I wasn't emotionally connected to them if felt wrong now , it made me sad. but now I don't even have the leisure to even spare any thoughts to the idea.

Me and the old man flew backwards about 10 m from each other , I barely managed to stay on my feet with telekinesis .

We stared each other in the eyes , the sky filled with colors of spell , and even blood. The death notifications kept on coming but I ignored them.

Creating countless stone spikes in the sky , I used air to rotate it at very high speeds and used fire to heat the tip of the spike , and with air and fire bursting behind them , the shot at speed breaking sound barriers.

The old man rushed with speed but technique easily dodging the hundreds of spikes I threw towards him .

Holding my sword with both my hands and my foot stomped in the ground to support the force of attack I am trying to stop.

*clang*

Came another clang sound of metal striking together with force , this time too everything blew up but no one was in the range , everyone had already fled.

Even with a stone wall blocking his sword the force was so much I flew backwards and without giving me any time he rushed towards me.

'Fuck' I shouted inwardly.

Using air and telekinesis I floated and stabilized myself in the air preparing for another attack but to my surprise came hundreds of fire spears from my back towards the old man.

Using an skill he created an barrier of air stopping all the spears sent by ember . But the old man was forced back on the ground stopping his charge.

This moment was needed by ruth , he got back down on land . With speeds not visible to anyone but them they clashed their swords ,

*clang*

both were forced back but using air control and telekinesis ruth turned his body in midair back towards the old man and charged.

With the sword pointed straight at the old man for thrusting  , the old man moved his sword at very high speed and blocked the attack . But ruth kept on charging and ember assisting from the back with fire spears and even Greg shot towards the old man with his enchanted rifles made , old man was forced to go defensive.

The clash continued for a few more moments and suddenly the old man jerked him body back and using only his legs he jumped high upwards , hovered in the air and spoke:

"Not bad kid , you are strong but for your level to fight me ? How did you manage to get on the bad side of those 'watchers'. "
