Cthulhu Gonfalon

Chapter 271: Chapter 141

The Sun Throne was the hub of the whole G.o.d’s kingdom in the Sun G.o.d System. From the outside, it s.h.i.+ned like a red sun in the center of the whole G.o.d’s kingdom. However, it was actually dark inside, not pitch black, but with nothing related to “glory.”

“When I was quarreling with my junior brother, he said that behind the glory must be deep darkness. At that time, I said that he was ignorant. The real heroes would put glory and darkness directly in places where people could see them. They would clearly show others their standpoints, principles, and styles of doing things,” the G.o.d of Light said with a smile, wielding his warhammer. “Now it seems that the ignorant one is me!”

It was strange to say that he was. .h.i.tting nothing while clearly swinging the warhammer like wind was blowing. To put it frankly, in the darkness, he was the only one who was talking while wielding the warhammer for no reason, like he was performing a one-man show.

However, he didn’t feel surprised at all. He still wielded the warhammer with all his strength, and every move was properly arranged, as if he was really fighting against an enemy in front of him.

“The Sun G.o.d, I never thought that you were such a loser! It’s the shame of my life to be equally as famous as you are!”

“Do you think you can escape my attack with such small tricks? Come on! My strength is more powerful than yours. Although you have melted yourself in this darkness, you can’t escape my attacks. Instead, your shortcomings appear everywhere. I can always. .h.i.t you, even with random attacks!

“I thought when I rushed over here, a devastating war must be waiting for me. But I didn’t expect that I would win so easily. h.e.l.lo, are you really the Sun G.o.d? Not a bard who sings erotic songs and does shabby magic tricks in a countryside bistro?” he said with a smile while swiftly wielding the hammer. As no one knew how long he had been holding it, suddenly, the interior of the whole Sun Throne trembled as if something invisible had broken, with a circle of shock waves rising and sweeping out in all directions.

The G.o.d of Light didn’t take it seriously, still wielding the warhammer.

This time, his hammer really hit the enemy.

All the darkness congealed all of a sudden, turning into a big man made up of blackness with a bright flame armor. The big man was a little thin, and his expression was withered and nervous. After he showed up, it seemed that he had wanted to say something, but he hadn’t expected that the G.o.d of Light would be chasing and swinging at him without a word, although he had been chattering interminably. Therefore, he suffered a big loss immediately, being beaten into retreat and getting smashed several times in a row.

This black figure wearing a flame armor was the Sun G.o.d, known as the “G.o.d of Glory.”

“d.a.m.n!” he shouted in anger being getting beaten continuously. “You dirty dog!”

The G.o.d of Light didn’t care for Him, and his face was cold and firm like a piece of frozen ice. However, the warhammer he wielded was hot like fire. Every strike contained earth-shattering power, which made it difficult for the Sun G.o.d to resist.

Once, twice, three times…

After countless strikes, the Sun G.o.d finally couldn’t help but yell wildly, and the flame armor exploded suddenly, turning the entire Sun Throne into a sea of fire.

This was the unique skill he had used to save his life. He had expected that the G.o.d of Light would have to resist it for a while, or it would at least block his attacks a little bit. However, the G.o.d of Light didn’t avoid the attack, even forgoing any defense, and instead turned the warhammer into a giant hammer that was larger than a person. He grasped the opportunity of his opponent without the protection of armor to slam a heavy strike on him, hard.

This strike was not only the strongest one the Sun G.o.d had suffered since the beginning of the war, but also the severest of the few injuries he had suffered in his long life. After this strike, he couldn’t stand up right away, and the whole person flew up in the path of a parabola, falling out of the hub.

It was also a coincidence that the direction in which he had fallen was the direction in which the elite team of human G.o.ds were fighting.

Usually, when the Sun G.o.d went to the front line in person, the morale of the angels and the oracles under his majesty would rise greatly. Moreover, if he attacked in person, he would be able to capture all kind of strong enemies at one go, which would win him one more glorious victory.

This time, although he went to the front lines again, he was beaten there…

At almost the same time, on the battlefield of the human world, the Golden Crown Eagle Flag had stopped.

This wasn’t because King Woods didn’t want to move on, but because he couldn’t.

With Bull Armored Warriors, who had st.u.r.dy bodies and powerful strength, as the core, the orc emperor sent out his strongest Armored Infantry, blocking the path of the Guards of the Kingdom of Eagle.

“The road is blocked,” yelled Norem Bull, the head of the Bull Race, a famous veteran among the orcs who was white-haired but still vigorous. Wielding his long-handed axe, he hit an armored knight into the air along with his horse, and the knight was already dead while flying away.

Woods looked to the left and right, frowning and sighing secretly.

He had legendary strongmen in his army, but they had been sent to every part of the military to serve as the core of the various units to maintain the battle. Currently in the Guards besides him who had equipped the sealed Three Artifacts, only the captain of the Guards was a legendary strongman.

However, the captain of the Guards was a priest named Wookie, a believer of the G.o.d of Faith.

It was good to choose a priest to be the captain of the Guards. They were good at defending, healing, and casting buff spells, so they would be able to protect the king in an emergency, holding until the escort troops came. However, in this situation when it was impossible to expect other troops for reinforcement, he was a little embarra.s.sed.

…Could it be that a priest with main ability of defense and a.s.sistance would be the main force?

Not to mention that it was stupid, he wouldn’t be able to defeat the other side when he really became the main force!

Norem was a really famous strongman. In that day’s world, in the field of Armored Warriors, if he declared that he was second, then no one would dare to call himself the first. In ordinary fights, his too heavy armor and too st.u.r.dy muscles would obviously affect his flexibility, which bound his moves and made him fail to keep pace when facing same-level enemies. However, on the battlefield, there wasn’t much room for fighters to move. Then he became a moving war fortress, a horrible and unrivalled war machine.

Although Wookie also belonged to the same type of Armored Warriors, if he was confronted by him, he would be smashed onto the ground by his axe after eight or ten moves at most, or even after less than eight or ten moves, he would be smashed into the air along with his s.h.i.+eld when this white-haired and old, but vigorous, bull man rushed directly towards him.

Woods sighed, pulling out his sword.

The sword was an artifact, whose name was the Eagle Sword. The “Eagle Sword,” the “Eagle Clothing,” which was the armor inside his robe, and the “Eagle Crown,” which was the crown on his head, had a joint name—the Three Eagle Artifacts. If a legendary strongman with the blood of the G.o.d of Eagle was wearing them, he could even compete with the G.o.ds for a short time while he used the legendary martial skill, the “Eagle Wing Sword,” to activate their power.

However, he had no way to activate it, because he didn’t know how to use the skill “Eagle Wing Sword.” He wasn’t the heir to the Eagle Wing Sword, and he hadn’t even learned that.

The last time the Eagle Wing Sword had appeared on the battlefield had been the time when his father, the king of the generation before the last generation, had used it. Later, his father had pa.s.sed the Eagle Wing Sword to his brother, and his nephew, as was told, but he hadn’t pa.s.sed it to him.

At that time, no one had felt that there was anything wrong with his behavior. His brother had been a dignified and firm guy, with good enough martial skills to inherit the Eagle Wing Sword. His nephew had become a famous master at only 14 or 15 and had even touched the legendary realm, with an almost limitless future. He already had those two people to inherit the Eagle Wing Sword, so he hadn’t needed him.

As a result… Both of the people who had inherited the Eagle Wing Sword had pa.s.sed on, leaving him to become the king.

This was so ironic that he laughed more than once when he thought about it. He laughed at his father’s narrow vision. He laughed at the so-called “world’s unparalleled” Eagle Wing Sword that was totally exaggerated.

His elder brother had mastered the Eagle Wing Sword, and his nephew might have mastered the Eagle Wing Sword, but who of them had used the Eagle Wing Sword? They hadn’t even had the chance to fight with the sword!

The most powerful thing in the world was never a sharp weapon or a powerful artifact, nor an unparalleled divinity skill, not even a genius master. It was strategy and wisdom!

But now, his strategy and wisdom couldn’t help him. What he needed now was force, and powerful enough to save the war.

Woods’ eyes became gloomy, but he pulled out his sword, rus.h.i.+ng forward without any hesitation.

“Wookie, support me!” he shouted loudly.

Wookie immediately cast spells, and the buff spells turned into colorful circles of light one by one on his body, which greatly improved his strength.

The power of the legendary priest’s buff spells were extraordinary. Therefore, at this moment, his physical qualities were not any weaker than a legendary strongman.

But this was not enough!

He wiped the blade of the Eagle Sword slightly with his left pinky finger, and the sharp blade immediately cut his finger, blood flowing out.

Being stained by the blood of the Eagle, the Eagle Sword immediately gave off a faint glow. Responding to it, the Eagle Clothing and the Eagle Crown were also glowing together. Although it was not a real awakening, the resonance of the Three Artifacts had once again improved his power greatly.

Feeling the inexhaustible power flowing through his body, Woods finally showed a confident smile.

With this power, he would definitely win!
