Chapter 222 222 – Another Day
This sight is quite familiar to me. The Durcia royal troops in the distance are ready to attack. However, there were far more of them this time, and a giant 200 feet tall behind them.
This long journey is really worth it.
"All of you!!!" I shouted while sitting on my flying bike, floating in the air. "Finally, we have arrived at our destination! Let our spirits burn! Don't be afraid to die because it's for the path we believe in! Attack!!!"
My troops screamed and dashed forward, while the opposing side charged at us. The roar of the two giants galloping was deafening.
I pulled my throttle and shot my bike forward.
It didn't take long for the sounds of clashing weapons, explosions from bombs or magic shots, and the sounds of giants' fists filled the air. I pressed one of the buttons on the dashboard of my bike, bringing out several blades from the body of this thing. With that weapon, I tore through the bodies of the wyverns that came at me, sending them crashing down along with their riders.
I continued maneuvering, destroying the battalion of wyverns, throwing their formation into disarray. Meanwhile, Velvet helped me using a device that could fire ropes in her hand. Just like when she fought me before, she was swinging through the air, taking out our enemies. She used her weapon's gun and sword modes interchangeably, depending on the situation.
While engrossed in slaughtering my enemies, I get a call from Ritor.
"I got word from one of my men that Fergus is in the northeast, my lord!!!" Ritor reported with the background sound of explosions and clashing weapons.
"Great." I sneered. "I will destroy that motherfucker."
I motioned for Velvet to follow me. The two of us then went in the direction Ritor pointed at. It wasn't long until I saw the enormous four-winged bat that the dark magus was riding on.
"Vorn!!!" He pointed at me. "I'll pay for what you do to me!!!"
"You left your partner who has been with you for a long time!!!" I shouted back at him. "When I resurrected again, I didn't believe you!!! Luckily I trusted my instincts!!!"
"Shut up!!!" The dark magus spread his arms, bringing out portals on either side. Two monsters shaped like giant winged praying mantises came out of the portals and flew straight at us.
I maneuvered to attack the monsters with the blades on my bike. Meanwhile, Velvet opens fire on them with her gun.
"Give up, Fergus!" I laughed, giving the umpteenth slash to one of the monsters' wings. "Your troops are pushed hard!"
My troops have started to dominate the super soldiers. In addition to our greater numbers, we used various strategies to disable those warriors' movements. Starting from using a rope shooting device similar to Velvet's to tie them up to shooting sleeper bombs.
I compiled all of that from the data I got from the previous battle.
Yes, maybe Durcia has the greatest dark magus. But he had no experience leading an army of this size.
Fergus kept summoning the praying mantis monsters, but Velvet and I always beat them.
"Nate says hi to you." I'm laughing. "He said this thing can fly just fine."
"Just watch, I will…." Fergus was cut off by Velvet firing a barrage of shots at him. Ayre gave the weapon a slight tweak so that it could penetrate ragmonuk metal.
"Shit!!!" Fergus was forced to change the course of his monster, which had started to bleed from the Velvet's shots.
"Don't run away! You coward!!!" I'm trying to chase him. But immediately realized that I had almost left my troops. So, I had to stop.
And just as I was about to call the others to chase that bastard, I got a call from Emily instead.
"Go after him, my lord." The supreme undead said quickly. "Let Ritor and I lead this troop. We've done many missions for you. We can definitely do this well."
I was silent for a few seconds. "You focus on fighting that ugly giant monster while Ritor is fighting on the frontlines. I will go after that bastard but will give the top command to Velvet."
"As you wish, my lord," Emily answered, and from behind her, there was an unbelievably loud crash. She was still struggling against the gigantic monster. "Now, chase him. Only you can fight him."
I turned to the gawking Velvet, but then my wife nodded. I turned on the communication device on my flying bike, then made an announcement to everyone. "It's me, Vorn, your leader! I hand over supreme command to Velvet Byrne! Don't be confused! Stay focused on your duties! And obey all orders from Velvet!!!"
I glanced at Velvet, who nodded again at me. Then I rode my flying bike again to catch up with Fergus, who was already far away.
Since my vehicle was faster, I was slowly catching up with the dark magus.
"You crazy demon!!!" Fergus cursed as he turned his head to me. His right hand kept extending forward. "Come on!!!"
A portal appeared before him, and he entered it without hesitation.
Damn. I remember what Lexi said. Such a dimensional portal would not be pleasant for any living being. Fergus could enter without hesitation since his body basically consisted of some inanimate objects.
But I won't stop here. I activated the armor on my body, continuing to accelerate at maximum speed.
The portal got smaller, but I stayed focused.
"Arrrgggghhh!!!" I screamed in pain as soon as I entered the portal. Even though I was wearing armor, I felt my body was pierced by thousands of needles from various directions.
Even so, I kept focusing on Fergus, who was in front of me, continuing to fly with his monster between the blinding light walls.
"Get lost!!!"
Fergus's voice sounded faint in my ear.
I can also feel my bike shaking hard, as if it's working beyond its limits. I don't know what happened. It could be because the energy in this pocket dimension affects it.
And now I feel that the parts of this thing can fall off at any time.
"Just give up, Demon!" Fergus shouted again. "Even a creature like you won't be able to survive here!!!"
***
Emily kept touching the crystal ball in front of her to move the mecha she was controlling. Her body shook for the umpteenth time because the mecha was hit by a punch from the giant tree monster.
So far, she has only been able to defend against her enemy's attacks without having had time to counterattack.
Moving this thing to fight is not something easy. She should have trained intensely for a very long time.
Not to mention the sounds of the bones moving this thing.
"Let us rest…."
"We don't want to fight…."
"Don't you have a heart…."
"Please…."
Ayre's systematics for moving this thing made Emily's mind connect with the spirits trapped in the bones.
And she's been feeling it since she left the base. But she held up because this thing was the key to fighting the giant monster.
"Ugh!" Emily felt the shock from her enemy's punch again.
At this rate, she would lose, and the monster could easily wipe out Vorn's troops.
"Fuck!" Emily cursed, looking at her enemy on the magic screen before her. "Could you stop attacking, you ugly monster!?"
Of course, the monster didn't hear Emily's words. That creature punched out for the umpteenth time, and the supreme undead raised the mecha's hand to block again.
Emily had to hold on to her chair because the shaking was so great.
She would have vomited and passed out if she were an ordinary human.
"Arrrgggghhh!!!" Emily moved her mecha to tackle the enemy. Their bodies fell with a deafening crash, then rolled on the ground.
Finally, she managed to create a time gap. She had to capitalize on this to victory.
But what should she do?
"Were the mecha's parts broken a lot, lady Emily?" Nate's voice came from the cockpit dashboard. "You can use the existing corpses to repair it."
"Thanks for reminding me." Emily struggled to move her mecha to get up before the giant monster. "However, this thing's armor is good enough to prevent…."
Emily choked when she saw the corpses lying around. An idea flashed through her head. But she knew doing so would drain her energy and possibly cost her life.
But this is for Lord Vorn and his dreams.
"Thanks, Nate." The supreme undead hissed, then focused all of her power on the corpses lying on the ground. "Arrrrgggghhh!!!"
The corpses rose and became one as the spirits' words filled Emily's ears more and more. The supreme undead could barely hear anything but that.
"What are you doing? What happened? Why are you screaming like that?" Nate bombarded Emily with questions, but she didn't answer and focused on what she was doing.
"Shit! This hurts so much!!" Emily swore again because she felt immeasurable pain all over her body. Her hands holding the crystal ball also stiffened violently and had already exposed a lot of Veins.
The monster lunged at her and punched the mecha. Emily's body shook again, and the mecha almost toppled over, but the supreme undead managed to hold on.
"Could you stop attacking me for a while, you ugly monster!!!" Emily screamed, struggling to block the attacks from her opponent. "Shit!!!"
Meanwhile, the corpses she was gathering below were getting more and more, forming a large long object.
