BXBX NOVEL Chapter 862
Chapter 862
The elites of the Beyond the Heavens Empire pulled the strings of their bow immediately after they killed more than 70,000 of the enemy troops. They then shot their arrows once again at the dark elves that were cutting through the gaps of the coalition forces and the dark werewolves that were charging toward the walls.
Stab, stab, stab, stab– Stab, stab, stab, stab–!
The kings and emperors thought their arrows became unusually more potent because of the Guardian God, Obren. Well, it was only half right.
As more dark elves collapsed, the Beyond the Heavens Empire’s elites quickly slung their bows on their backs and hung ropes on the pillars of the walls. Using these ropes, they swiftly descended. The knights and soldiers swiftly drove away the dark elves that crowded the vicinity of the walls of the Aplath Empire the moment their feet landed on the ground.
“Keuaaaaaaaack!”
The fearsome and mighty dark elves were being cut down quickly by the blades of the knights and soldiers. Perhaps it was only natural. After all, the ones that taught them swordsmanship and spearmanship were Brod and Spear God Ben.
Stab– Stab, stab, stab– Stab, stab, stab–!
The knights and soldiers quickly dealt with the dark elves near the walls. As for the dark elves that mounted the dark werewolves? The talented recruits of the Beyond the Heavens Empire were the ones who flew up and dealt with them.
Slaaaaaaaash–
Keller cut down a dark werewolf with one swing of his spear. So far, he had three teachers. They were Spear God Ben, Amacar, and Attention Seeker Emperor Ellie.
“As long as there’s a single dragon’s breath in my spear, none of you can reach this gate!”
Keller had learned how to gain the most attention from her. And the effects were truly outstanding. The kings and emperors immediately turned to look at him when they heard his cries. And what did they see? They saw Keller moving swiftly to kill everyone who tried to get near the walls.
“Th- that’s crazy...!”
“Tell me! How can he wield such power?!”
The kings and emperors murmured in awe.
Meanwhile, Keller laughed to himself. ‘It’s as you say, Attention Seeker Emperor. Everyone is amazed.’
If Keller was only dealing with one enemy and he said those words, then everyone would snicker at him and call him nuts. However, his lines were a perfect fit for the situation, so it made him shine even more.
Everyone who received training from Attention Seeker Emperor Ellie began to speak one after another as if on cue.
Edom gathered the man in his body and said, “A bloody wind will blow.”
The mana roared as it rose from the blade of his sword. Edom’s secret skill, Pollard Swordsmanship’s Final Chapter, the Beast’s Charge, was a skill that could engulf an entire forty-meter radius and rip apart everyone and everything within the area.
[Guardian God Obren has activated the Skill Reinforcement Buff.]
[Upon receiving the buff, the first skill you will use will have a 30% increase in attack.]
[For AOE Skills, their range will increase by an additional 40%.]
Slash, slash, slash, slash, slash, slash–!
Once the pride of the Aplath Empire, Edom released a sword attack that engulfed hundreds of dark elves all at once. Emperor Elise also knew about Edom’s secret skill. However, he was shocked and impressed by the power it displayed right now. It was many times stronger than before.
All of the Beyond the Heavens Empire\'s knights, soldiers, and talents were protected by Guardian God Obren, who, when coupled with various factors, had gathered together and created a shocking synergistic effect.
However, Guardian God Obren could not protect and support the Beyond the Heavens Empire for as long as he wanted. Since Athenae was a game that promoted balance, Guardian God Obren’s ability to provide help and protection to the Beyond the Heavens Empire had received several restrictions and had a limit per day.
The Beyond the Heavens Empire\'s knights, soldiers, and talents had already killed more than 500,000 dark elves. Everyone performed splendidly. And this was more so the case for the talents. They had displayed an outstanding performance that would not lose to the Luvien Empire’s lower-ranked Swords of the Gods. And because they performed outstandingly, even the knights and soldiers could shine even more.
However, at that moment, the eyes of Dark Elf Jack, who was watching everything from a distance, turned black. At the same time, Jack’s voice rang in the heads of the dark elves, whose eyes had also turned black.
–Eliminate the strong ones first.
The moment Dark Elf Jack issued the order, all of the dark elves dealing with the coalition army and the Beyond the Heavens’ troops immediately turned their heads towards the Beyond the Heavens’ talents. Even the dark werewolves were doing the same thing. Then, they began to charge at them as if they had gone crazy.
“This...” Keller was left flustered.
The enemies completely ignored the attacks sent by the coalition army and the Beyond the Heavens’ troops. They continued to charge at the newly recruited and cultivated talents of the Beyond the Heavens Empire. Everyone was left with a sense of urgency when they suddenly saw the enemies charge at them. But that was not all. The dark elves also used the spirits of darkness to cast various spirit magic upon them.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang–!
Dozens of explosions bombed the talents.
However, the bigger problem was Jack. A considerable spark appeared on the tip of the longsword that Jack raised high up in the sky. The spark soared even higher in the sky before splitting dozens of times. Then, the enormous sparks filled with tremendous power fell towards the talented people.
[Guardian God’s Protection.]
[Guardian God Obren’s Barrier has been activated!]
In this heart-stopping crisis where all the talents almost risked being wiped out, Obren cast a blue barrier that surrounded all of them.
Crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle–!
A thick layer of dust bloomed as the powerful force slammed into Obren’s barrier. Injuries littered the bodies of the talents while they huddled inside the barrier. No matter how strong they were, it would still be tough for them to endure such an intense and overwhelming attack and leave unscathed.
[Beyond the Heavens Empire’s Guardian Deity Obren strongly recommends a retreat!]
[Guardian God Obren says that he might be unable to protect you anymore after this!]
The barrier that Guardian God Obren cast this time had exhausted many of the buffs he could use to protect and help the Beyond the Heavens Empire.
The talents all felt that it was a pity.
‘I should have fought a bit more actively.’
‘I wanted to show the person I served before that I am doing well now.’
However, they all knew their lives were the most important thing here. Then, Beyond the Heavens’ Guardian God, Obren spoke to them.
[Guardian God Obren tells you that what you did is more than enough.]
They turned to look at the kings and emperors from within the barrier. It looked like they were looking at them in awe and admiration. They also seemed like they looked apprehensive about them.
“Come back quickly!”
“Hurry!”
“The situation has turned for the worst! Retreat first! The coalition army will stop them!”
Even the 100,000-strong Beyond the Heavens Empire troops had already done more than enough. They had shown the kings and emperors they could do what they could not do before.
Just like that, the Beyond the Heavens’ talents and troops began to retreat. However, the dark elves and the dark werewolves did not make it easy for them. Dark Elf Jack also did not have any intention of letting them retreat. After all, he knew that they would pose another threat to them once these people recovered.
“Fweeeeeeeeeeet–!” Jack whistled loudly. His whistle, which sounded strangely similar, yet also different, from the whistle he used when he summoned the dark werewolves, echoed loudly on the battlefield.
“Fweeeeeeeeeeet–!”
Unlike the brief whistle from before, this whistle resonated longer.
Thud, thud, thud, thud, thud, thud, thud–!
Almost a thousand giant dark werewolves fell down from the sky.
“...”
“...”
“...”
The kings and emperors were all stunned silly by their appearance. The talents had hunted around twenty giant dark werewolves just a few moments prior but now almost a thousand appeared before them. However, it did not end there.
“Screeeeeeeeeeech–”
A gathering of 500 black eagles the size of an elephant carrying dark elves flew out of the crack that appeared in the sky above them. Their levels were almost at the same level as the giant dark werewolves.
“Th-those are the Black Eagles from the legends, right?”
According to the legends, these eagles could rip apart a human body with their beaks alone and even cut up anything in their path with their wings. The worst part was they were flight-type monsters.
When they appeared, those black eagles immediately swooped down and divided the coalition army into two.
“Quick! Run! Retreat!” Amacar shouted hurriedly.
He knew that he was on the verge of losing all of the talents and troops of the Beyond the Heavens Empire. However, the dark elves and the dark werewolves were persistent. They continued to block the path of the retreating forces.
In just an instant, the battlefield grew chaotic. The charging giant dark werewolves looked like a herd of elephants running towards a clan of hyenas. Meanwhile, the black eagles had taken over the skies. They would swoop in from time to time and try to bite off the heads of the kings and emperors on the walls.
“I am very grateful for the help given to us by the Beyond the Heavens Empire...”
However, the help that they had given was not enough to help them truly overcome the situation.
Dark Elf Jack had declared the destruction of all kingdoms and empires. Perhaps the kings and emperors already knew that they were hiding their numbers when they heard the declaration of war.
The flock of black eagles had already turned the sky into a sea of black, while the thousand giant dark werewolves on the ground had forced the land to tremble and shake.
“It’s over...” Someone murmured in despair.
Perhaps this was the end for the kings and emperors present here, the sound and healthy people of the kingdoms and empires, and the talents and troops that the Beyond the Heavens Empire sent to help them.
“OBREEEEEEEEEN!!!”
But then, at that moment, a loud cry resounded from the sky above them. The kings, emperors, the troops of the coalition army, and the talents, knights, and soldiers of the Beyond the Heavens Empire quickly turned their heads to look in the direction where the cry came from.
[Guardian God Obren has triggered the Freedom’s Blessings!]
[You can now use any skill you want, regardless of their cooldown restriction or requirements!]
[Guardian God Obren has used 97% of his authority to help the Beyond the Heavens Empire for this day!]
There, they saw a man falling rapidly from the sky above. All around the man, ten thousand swords made of light twinkled into existence.
[Ten Thousand Swords.]
[Ten Thousand Swords is a skill that can demonstrate great power in large-scale battles!]
[Ten Thousand Swords will chase after the stronger enemies and pierce through the hearts of ‘Ten Thousand’ enemies!]
[Each sword of the Ten Thousand Swords has a 6,000% additional attack!]
[Those grazed or cut by the Ten Thousand Swords in passing will receive an additional 3,000% damage!]
Then, the ten thousand swords made of light immediately rained down upon their enemies.
Slash, slash, slash, slash, slash, slash–!
The gathering of black eagles fell from the skies while the hearts of the giant dark werewolves running on the ground were torn apart.
[The Highest God has appeared!]
The man who appeared with that loud cry was none other than Minhyuk.
