Chapter 510: Too weak
The water had risen above the head. He couldn"t sit calm anymore. He thought the enemy wouldn"t be shameless enough to break the laws of the war, but apparently, they were. Since they broke it, he could too.
"Princess! The enemy leaders are attacking our soldiers! Allow me to attack as well! Let the h.e.l.l reign supreme on them! We will end it today itself," the Spirit general said to Alice, asking for her permission.
"It"s already time? Alright. I"ll come out."
Alice stood up, unsure if she actually wanted to join the battle. She still didn"t think that it was her place to lead such a thing, but she had to give her best now that she was here.
She came out of the tent and gazed at the battlefield and the enemy camp.
She could see Ryder standing in the distance, before the High Dukes, seemingly commanding his men.
"Is that their Prince?" she asked her Spirit General in surprise.
"That"s right. He is their Prince who is commanding them," Spirit General answered.
"Interesting. I can"t see his face. There"s something that"s making his face blurry for me. Is it the system? Maya did say that I and others can see the enemy"s face just like they can"t see mine. Do they see my face as blurry too?" She wondered.
Just as he expected, Ryder also noticed the girl in the distance.
"I think that"s their Princess who is leading them," High Duke Oris said, observing the girl. He had no trouble seeing her real face.
Ryder, on the other hand, could only see a blurry face.
"So that is the enemy player. Is she a player in the top ten too? The Spirit Empress? Or someone else? Whatever, it"s better I don"t know. I won"t have to feel bad about having someone he banned since I can"t see the face," Ryder muttered as he nodded his head.
"Princess, you see how they"re using those strongest powers on our weakest soldiers? Give me more strength to fight them," Spirit General said as he pointed towards the left side of the field where the thunder storm and the poison rain was killing their enemies.
"Sigh, so much pain and destruction. Even though it"s a game, I don"t like this. Alright, go and win the war so we can stop this faster," Alice said as she raised her right hand.
Her hand started s.h.i.+ning brightly as a bright ray of light shot towards the sky, piercing into the clouds.
"Beautiful..."
Even though Alice was an enemy, Ryder couldn"t help but appreciate her skill which seemed beautiful. It seemed like someone had erected a beautiful golden tower.
"Go ahead. As long as this golden tower exists, your strength will be doubled. Be fast enough. I don"t think I can make it last for longer than a minute," Alice said.
"One minute should be enough for me," the Spirit General said, hitting his fist together in excitement as he flew up in the sky.
Another Spirit General used his skill as an illusory bow appeared in his hand.
He stretched the string of the bow as he aimed a dark arrow towards the right side of the field.
"One arrow?" Alice asked, confused. Was this one arrow going to be enough for the enemies?
"Just wait and watch, Princess," the Second Spirit General said, grinning.
He released the string of the bow, which fired the arrow. A single arrow flew in the sky, flying towards one ordinary soldier, but that wasn"t all.
As the arrow was in mid-distance, it split into thousands of arrows that flew towards different soldiers.
"High Duke Mila, I want a barrier now!" Ryder commanded in haste.
Within seconds, High Duke Mila cast her barrier to protect their soldiers from the incoming arrows.
Thousands of arrows flew closer to the semi-transparent blue barrier that had just appeared in the sky, protecting the entire field.
"Hah, that barrier? It would have been enough to stop my attack if I was at my normal strength, but because of Princess, my strength has doubled! That toy of a barrier can"t stop me anymore! Only your Emperor might have the strength to stop my attack. Too bad, he"s not here!" Second Spirit General said as he laughed out loud before he fired another arrow from the bow.
The first attack landed on the barrier, which couldn"t resist in the least.
The Barrier broke like it was made of a fragile gla.s.s that shattered because of a stone being tossed at him.
Fortunately, even as it broke, the attack was stopped.
Too bad that another attack was coming right about now.
More than a thousand arrows flew towards the soldiers of the Demon Realm that were trying their best to fight and kill their enemies.
As the barrier broke, High Duke Mila was taken aback. She couldn"t cast another barrier again because of her previous barrier being broken.
If the barrier wasn"t broken, her cooldown time might have been lower, but after it was broken with force, her cooldown time was much higher.
"This can be possible. How did his attack break my barrier?" High Duke Mila asked in disbelief.
"I think it"s because of that pillar of light. That"s increasing their strength by a ma.s.sive amount," High Duke Oris talked about his observation.
Hundreds of arrows fell down, stabbing the bodies of the soldiers of the demon realm, killing them.
"Doesn"t that mean that guy is buffed too? So High Duke Magna will be in trouble," Ryder pointed out as he noticed High Duke Magna about to clash with the First Spirit General who had come flying to them.
"Magna, huh. I think you should watch yourself," High Duke Oris let out as he smiled wryly.
The First Spirit General and High Duke Magna reached closer to each other in the sky.
"Hahaha, you"re here! You don"t know how strong I have become because of our Divine Oracle. Watch yourself be killed now! You can only blame yourself for your death because you were my enemy," the Spirit General laughed out loud as he punched ahead with all his strength.
It seemed like his entire surrounding was shaking with his punch because of the immense strength. High Duke Magna also punched straight ahead. Not even a single frown could be seen on his face as if he didn"t care about this guy.
Unlike the punch of the Spirit General, which seemed chaotic, the punch of Magna seemed calmer as if he had lazily tossed ahead a fist without applying any strength behind it.
Both the fist clashed, but the outcome was clear if someone was to see the faces of the two. The High Duke"s face had disappointment written all over it. On the other hand, the Spirit General"s face was filled with shock.
In the clash of strength, the winner was High Duke Magna, who was still in his position, whereas the Spirit General was pushed back a little because of the impact.
"How! My strength is twice now! How can you match my strength? How?!" The Spirit General exclaimed in shock.
"Two times the strength? So that"s the effect of that pillar which allowed your friend to break the barrier of Mila. Too bad for you, but I"m not Mila. If this is twice your strength, you"ll need at least five times your strength to match me. I"m amazed at your pitiful original strength. And you dare to attack our great Demon Realm?" High Duke Magna asked the Spirit General calmly.
Even though the High Duke Magna had spoken calmly to the Spirit General, his words felt mocking.
On the ground, even Ryder was surprised. This strength... Just how strong was Magna compared to Mila?
"He is that strong?" he asked High Duke Oris, who stood beside him.
"He"s pretty strong indeed," High Duke Oris answered.
"Are you as strong as him? If not, then how weak are you compared to him?" Ryder asked. He had previously thought that the difference between the strength of High Dukes wasn"t this ma.s.sive, but only now he knew that it was much more vast.
"Hmm... If I am as strong as him?" High Duke Oris muttered with an amused smile on his face.
He soon answered, "I"m not sure. I haven"t fought him in the last thousand years. So I can"t say."
"And who won a thousand years ago?" Ryder asked, interested to know.
"That"s a secret that we decided not to tell anyone," High Duke Oris chuckled as he refused to answer.
Even though Ryder could have forced High Duke, he didn"t do it.
"You b.a.s.t.a.r.d! So what if your brute strength is stronger than me? You"ll still die!"
The Spirit General raised his arm and tossed a Spirit Orb towards the High Duke, Intending to kill him.
"Too weak," High Duke Magna said lazily as he flicked his finger lightly, making a small barrier appear before him which absorbed the spirit wall.
"You shouldn"t forget how badly you all lost the last war. There was a reason for that. Waging a war again? The new generation is really stupid." he said as he patted his hand.
