Chapter 379: Final Confrontation (1) (2/2)
These four Blessings with varying cooldown times, I would surely find a proper use for them.
The four Knights' Skills all involved Sword Moves. I could use them like that or I could also draw inspiration from it to create my remaining three sword skills.
The four Wizards' Spells are all AoE Skills. Meteor, Thunderstorm, Glacial Blizzard and Earth Rupture. They were all effective in a large-scale battle such as what's happening right now.
Perhaps if I converted it to Elemental Spell, enhancing their current effects wouldn't be a problem. Saying these are better for me sounds about right… I can spam these skills from behind them. However, I'm sure the Spells' effects are indiscriminate. It can affect anyone hit by it whether they're allies or foes.
In any case, they're a great addition to my arsenal. In the future, I have to recycle the weaker ones and make a new and stronger version of them. With my Energy Control and perhaps with this added Energy Molding capabilities by Irja, it will be less difficult.
After confirming everything, I turned around and saw Reinys craning her neck from behind Caila. That princess… I remembered. She's possibly the very first tsundere I encountered. She's like Irja at this point who can't be honest or is afraid because of how she treated me back then.
While I was busy checking out the new Skills, Spells and Blessings, the combined Augmented and Mortal Realms finally met the enemy in the middle.
Amidst the shouts and roars of every Barbarian, be it Corrupted or not, dead bodies started to accumulate.
A few minutes later, once the current battlefield stabilized where a clear divide between Mortal and Augmented Realms could be seen, the Saint Realms with their Halos appearing behind their head marched in and tried to sweep the lower realms by their attacks.
At this point, it was already hell for Mortal Realms. Nonetheless, they're still eagerly hacking or smashing away their adversaries without any regard for their lives.
That was especially the case for the Corrupted Barbarians.
When the King Realm started to move, apart from us, the camp was already devoid of people.
Raiden flew down and let the King Realm General take command.
”Shall we?” I asked him which he answered with a nod.
Looking at the enemy camp, the 7 vacant-eyed Transcendents and the 7 normal ones were lined up behind the now floating descendant. He still had the same composed expression as if nothing could shake him.
If he knew that we already saw him throwing a tantrum alone to vent his frustrations, he would probably charge out to silence us.
”Let me go first. I will deal with that Midsummer King.” Old Man Reol stepped out. His eyes were firmly staring at the sole Emperor Realm Corrupted who was commanding the enemies.
From around the Old Man, his four Pillars materialized and transformed to their familiar Guardian Forms. The Tiger, Turtle. Snake and the Eagle. Like Avelin, his Pillar Guardians took on the form of a beast.
Leaving behind those words, Old Man Reol flew out along with his beast. The four then positioned themselves on four different sides, creating his Emperor Domain or Empire.
When the Midsummer King saw him, it also summoned his four Pillars. However, unlike that Old Man, he's not an Emperor Realm yet, he just had the strength to contest someone at that stage.
”That Old Man, I thought he already changed. Turns out he's just holding back. Now that he's about to become a Transcendent, his previous enthusiasm is rekindled.” Erin sighed as she watched her grandfather excitedly fly out to battle.
”You cannot fault him with that. He's just worried about how to become an Emperor Realm months ago. Today, he's soon to step into a whole new realm.”
Reinys, Caila and Noelle who are close to the level of the Old Man also made a breakthrough yesterday. However, it was only enough to firmly let them step into Rank 5 Mortal. They still needed to breakthrough to the 5th Realm to reach the threshold.
Without any other enemies, the three flew out together to aid the Heavenly Lightning Tribe Barbarians. Behind them, the members of the Whiteshade Division followed and joined the fray.
With their addition, the Mortal Rank battlefield could be said to be already decided. There will be no one who could contest the three.
But that's only if no Transcendent would fly out to aid their disadvantaged troops.
Naturally, that's not the case.
As soon as the Midsummer King engaged Old Man Reol, a Transcendent took his place.
Following that, upon seeing the three Rank 5 Mortal joining in the fray, he called out his beast and sent it down to Caila, Reinys and Noelle, engaging the three in a battle.
For them, this will become their first time battling a Transcendent.
To aid them, I sent a clone which engulfed the three with its buff, evening out the field for them. This experience will naturally help them so that's the extent of the support I will send to their side.
”Well then, let's not have them wait for us. Lightning Chieftain. Take the floor.” I smirked and turned to Raiden.
