A shocking battle was taking place above the clouds as two mighty DemiG.o.ds used all their strength and abilities to devastating effect. Although not to the same extent, there was also a fearsome battle taking place on the ground. As far as the eye could see many races were embroiled in a vicious battle that would decide the fate of the Steppes. Orcs, Humans, Werebeasts, and a variety of other races were doing everything they could to kill and slaughter their way through their enemy"s ranks. It had been a long time since such a grand spectacle took place like this on the continent. Giant Lizards and Giant wolves along with their riders fought with ruthless abandon as they killed each other with murderous means. Heavily armored Human soldiers cut through swathes of Barbarians in tight formations and the glow of magic illuminated the darkened and shadowy battlefield as shamans summoned endless b.e.s.t.i.a.l creatures and elemental spells. Burning flames and scorched earth added to the ambiance of death along with the smell of corpses and blood.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
Unbeknownst to all those below, a huge and billowing funnel of souls swelled and surged, rising into the sky. These souls continued to fuel Aleks"s unrelenting strength, filling him to the brim no matter how he battled against his terrifying foe. In the skies above the battlefield, the Legendary dragons swooped low, breathing fire across the Steppes, turning many warriors into ash.
Lenia slashed her sword, cutting an enemy in half. Who knew how many she had killed by this point. She pointed her sword upwards and shouted, releasing an aura which poured outwards from her body and spread to all the warriors in their army. Nelay and Grobak released their own auras which complemented each other, providing bonuses to attack, defense and agility. This not only strengthened their own forces, but each other.
With these buffs, they could now hold their own even against several Legendary dragons. The reason being, these dragons were individually strong because of their powerful physical bodies, but they couldn"t use magic or support auras. This put them at a disadvantage against Lenia and the two others who could complement each others strengths and fight cooperatively. These three were the most powerful of subordinates under Aleks. Lariel had been weakened greatly, and even though she was still a Legendary being, it wasn"t realistic for her to take part in such a high level battle. Her job was only to command the army and oversee the entire battlefield. She could easily use her magic to communicate and maneuver Aleks"s army with perfect coordination.
Brock had also been placed in command of a portion of the army but he was currently in charge of one of the armies attacking on another part of the battlefield. He knew that Aleks was avoiding him and needed time, so he had put himself fully into the battle without any other thoughts.This kept him busy and the rush of battle helped him forget the things he had seen and the many questions he wished to ask. He was only a step away from the Legendary realm himself and was much more powerful than any of his enemies except for the Legendary dragons. Engrossing himself in the battle, he aggressively fought his way into the enemy formation alongside the warriors under his command.
His nickname, the Flash Blade, was not just for show. With his rapier, he could pierce through heavy armor with ease, killing elites in one rapid strike. His abilities were all centered around speed and penetrating power and he danced through the battlefield reaping lives like chaff. There were none who could escape his blade.
All around the battlefield, Aleks"s army tore through the Dragonmen and their Barbarian allies. Although Aleks"s army had only been formed for a short time, they had been trained diligently in this time and the buffs provided by Lenia and the others increased their strength dramatically. Since all three were now Legendary beings, their auras could encompa.s.s a vast area. If not for the Legendary dragons fighting on the opposing side, their army would have easily been defeated. However, even with the aid of the dragons, they were clearly on the losing end of the fight.
Lenia, Nelay and Grobak fought side by side. They were surrounded by thousands battling to the death, but their eyes were completely on the skies. Nelay hid in the shadows while Grobak taunted the Legendary dragons above. Every time the dragons pa.s.sed overhead breathing fire, Lenia stood like a wall holding the flames back. With her shield, armor, and powerful defensive aura, she was like a bulwark of steel that didn"t flinch. No matter how many attacks came her way, she refused to move even a step back.
The cooperation and teamwork of the three was impeccable. Lenia would block their attacks and Nelay would strike from the shadows with a flash of her blade sending dragons falling from the sky. Once the dragons had been downed, Grobak would leap into battle fighting the dragons who had been grounded. It was a truly awe inspiring sight that motivated the warriors around them. Seeing these Legendary dragons falling one by one to the teamwork of the three was a spectacular scene. The three did not kill the dragons however, leaving them mostly still alive. This was on the orders of their master who had other plans for the dragons.
Strangely, an enormous hole in the battle had appeared around the three who were fighting the Legendary dragons. Their battle was on a devastating scale and the warriors and soldiers gave them a wide berth. They were not willing to risk their lives by getting too close to this contest of Legendary beings. This caused a strange sight if one were to be watching from above. An intense spectacle was taking place over a wide area right in the middle of the battlefield. While Lenia and the other two fought the several Legendary dragons in an area of half a square mile, the armies clashed all around them outside that zone as much as they could.
It was as if there were in fact three separate battles going on at the same time. There was the battle above the clouds which none could clearly see below. They could only see flashes of light, flames which rained down from above, and hear tremors from thunderous yet unexplainable sounds. These sounds were so deafening, those below could barely hear their own grunts and the sounds of their clashing weapons. Occasionally, there would be falling flames and b.a.l.l.s of fire which rampaged across the battlefield below causing many casualties on both sides.
Then there was the battle between the Legendary beings which could be seen clearly and struck fear in the hearts of all those around them. They didn"t dare get close to that battle which left small craters and scorched earth everywhere. Still, even this battle between Legendary beings caused widespread collateral damage. There was just no way to avoid the clash which was taking place over such a huge area. The area of their battle would be constantly shifting, ending in the death of hundreds of hapless victims who couldn"t escape the widespread carnage every time their fight shifted.
Lastly, the clash between the two armies involving hundreds of thousands on each side and spreading into the horizon. This was a battle on an epic scale. If Aleks and his army won, then the Steppes would truly be theirs. The minds and hearts of all those present would belong to him and him alone. Who witnessing this, would still be able to deny his strength and authority? His influence would only spread and he would become the hegemon of the Steppes, his might and supremacy spreading across the land.
This would make him a sovereign, and in the future, it would aid him in his quest to defy the G.o.ds.
