"Ugh!"
Struggling out of the crater underneath him, Bai Yung was disappointed at his performance against the kingdom-tier heavenly soldier.
'How can the kingdom-tier be so far from me?'
'I feel like I'm very close yet the difference in strength between us is so overwhelming!'
He thought as stared at the heavenly soldier riding their Pegasus.
Standing there with his armor battered and drops of blood on it, he once again felt the claws of death across the back of his neck.
'I wonder if I could still be resurrected.'
He smiled as he embraced whatever fate has in store for him.
"Come!"
He swirled his spear before advancing towards his opponent.
At the moment of his possible death, he chose to be carefree.
Having 4 kingdom-tier heavenly soldiers take on Bai Yung, Qin We, Hai Teng and Man Nao, the other 8 were charging towards the city in front of them together with the 5,000 beginner and basic soldiers.
"Raise your shields!"
A command was given from within the crowd of soldiers as soon as the archers standing in front of Blazing Sun City pulled the strings of their bows.
Aware of the might of Monica's arrows, the kingdom-tier heavenly soldiers positioned themselves in the middle of the 5,000 slave soldiers while the 10 lords of the Sun Extermination Association stayed at the rear of the army.
"Let's end this."
Activating her strongest skills, Monica transformed into her giant form before releasing her hold on her string.
!!
At the explosion of her arrow, a thousand more appeared before raining down on the charging army.
"Shield wall!!"
Shocked at the sudden transformation of Monica, Huang Sai and Sun Can, the invading army frantically gathered shields together in a bid to defend against the giant rain of catastrophe.
Boom!!!
"This can't be... This isn't real!"
A heavenly soldier gazed at the horror around him as he mumbled in disbelief.
The soldiers previously standing around him were now either dismembered or were all burnt to crisp.
"What the hell?!"
"How can they transform into giants?!"
Looking at the state of his army, Storm Lord couldn't believe his sight.
"At this rate, I will lose my entire army without the Aurora Kingdom even participating."
He muttered before focusing back on the divine-tier fighter walking through the lightning tornado in front of him.
'Why can't any of my attacks affect him?!'
'If it wasn't for my battle tier, my soul would've definitely been harvested!'
The legacy racked his brain while staring at the kobold.
"What the hell are you both doing?!"
"Kill him and go assist the others!"
Turning towards his surviving generals, he shouted.
"If it was that easy, they would've done it already."
Lu Chong said before deciding to take the battle seriously.
Activating his law skill, the tip of his spear vanished before appearing an instant later behind Bhavin's back.
Wasting no time, he immediately struck once again.
!!
The bloody tip of his spear tore through Samir's neck, instantly ending his life.
"Impossible!"
Shrouded in disbelief, Storm Lord was breathless as he stared at Lu Chong.
"Nothing is impossible."
Pointing his spear at the divine-tier fighter, Lu Chong charged towards him.
"Here I am thinking that Nezario and Aegon are my hidden card, when Lu Chong has being one all along."
Zhou Zhou muttered with a smile on his face.
"What I can't believe is that Bai Yung also forgot about Lu Chong's might."
"Haven't he experienced the full strength of the spear demon during their training?"
He revealed his thoughts as he watched Lu Chong closing in on Storm Lord.
"You're walking to your death!"
Changing his target from Maris to Lu Chong, Storm Lord rode towards him on his Pegasus.
As soon as he came within 50m from the spear demon, a feeling he wished to never experience again suddenly shrouded him.
The terror of death
Choosing to believe his instinct, he immediately steered his Pegasus away from Lu Chong.
"Retreat!"
He shouted using a voice amplifying skill.
"..."
But all he received in return was ghostly silence.
His soldiers were either minced to meat paste or burnt to ashes.
None of them survived.
"That..."
Staring at the corpse beside Bai Yung, Zhou Zhou was surprised at its state.
"Neither burnt nor minced... Bai Yung did that?"
He mumbled while trying to picture how the commander of his army could possibly kill a soldier an entire tier higher than his.
"Quickly come over!"
Qin We shouted at the Yellow gold-tier doctors as he brought Man Nao in front of the city's entrance.
Swiftly arriving beside Man Nao, the only Yellow gold-tier advance grade doctor immediately used the kobold tribe healing technique on the pudao soldier.
"It's really awesome when used for you and not the opponent."
Sun Can muttered as he watched the blown apart shoulder of Man Nao rapidly restoring to a perfect state.
"I saw what you did back there."
"That should've cost a lot, right?"
Assisting Hui Teng to walk back to the city, Huang Sai asked him.
"It costs 5 years of my lifespan."
"Would've costs more if I didn't advance my magic skill to the special-tier at the moment of my death."
Hui Teng conveyed to the archer.
Letting the doctors check up on his soldiers, Zhou Zhou congratulated them on their victory before taking care of the body parts scattered around the battlefield.
As for chasing after Storm Lord, he couldn't be bothered with that for the time being.
'He would help in reducing the number of opponents I would have to face when competing with lords from other races.'
He mused while pulling the dismembered corpses into his spatial ring.
While Zhou Zhou was busy with his loots, the lords of Cerulean planet were all in chaos at the scene they all saw.
[Blazing Shit's army is freaking terrifying! Not even Spartans can compare!]
[I can't believe he already have a hero among his soldier! Do you know how insanely lucky that is?!]
[He's indeed the undisputed no. 1 lord among us!]
[Does anyone have an idea the God behind Blazing Shit? I feel it might be also be a Titan like Cronos.]
[The giant forms of his archers confirmed that.]
[The legacies are awfully quiet!]
[I would also be quiet if I know I and all I suffered for could be gone in a heartbeat by saying the wrong word against someone I imagined to have caught up to.]
Reading the comments dropped by the lords in the world channel, Mystic Heaven had an ugly expression on his face.
"I knew Blazing Shit would be powerful, but I never knew it would be to this degree."
"The most terrifying of his soldiers isn't even the divine-tier soldier, it's the spearman."
"His last 2 attacks couldn't even be seen before 2 empire-tier soldiers were instantly killed."
"Doesn't that mean I would lose Chu Dong and Mu Hao the moment the spearman decides to take things seriously?"
The chosen of Nuwa felt dispirited at the thought of going against the strongest lord of his planet.
Expressing his confliction to his alliance leader, Lord Ghost sighed in defeat.
[Undead Lord: You're the chosen of Anubis, and I of Nephthys. Even if we can't defeat his army, we won't be utterly destroyed! Hold your head high, Guide of the Dead!]
"I understand."
Lord Ghost said with his confidence restored.
The other legacies experienced the same sense of defeat and no longer dared to target the throne of the strongest lord in the Cerulean planet at their current level.
"I'll grow stronger, and I will defeat you!"
They all swore with their confidence in their legacies boosted.
