Chapter 264: Fight of the Steele Army (1/2)

Aron waited for the enemies to approach him. He knew that even if he tried to flee with the best of his abilities, the enemy would still be able to chase him down and catch up with him. And he knew that the enemy would also crowd and exaggerate the attacks that they would do.

And this was what Aron hoped for. He needed to be able to wipe out as many of them as he could.

The biggest problem was that he couldn't move freely. But that scenario pushed Aron to the very limits.

”If I have awakened the power of Hyperion Steele, then can I cut things by applying force like a sword to cut, or do I wield power to cut itself? Is cut a result of force, or is it a concept that Hyperion Steele created?” Aron pondered.

And so, at that moment, he harnessed the power that he had and produced a force like a blade that cuts through the magic that was drowning him.

The space and time that had an ocean of water around him suddenly lost its power with a power to cut occurred. The cut created the opening that Aron needed as he made his Force energy explode out as the Crab Commander did.

The Commander felt it and was horrified at the sudden loss of his spell.

”That's Shellcross's ability!” The Commander realized it. But what he couldn't understand was how his magic was forced out.

”It's a far, poorer imitation of my brother's push, but it got the job done.” Aron smiled. He realized that while he could recreate it, he could never reach the level of his brother.

Aron pushed the Magic energy with a clumsy method and even created a pushing force to throw him forward.

”Even though I feel slow, I'll kill you!” Aron revealed his extremely dismal acting skills and charged forward.

BOOM!

With the hindering power gone, Aron made a swift slashing motion. The power of the Quick Blade appeared as Aron harnessed the speed of a quick blade. He slashed out at the approaching Berserker and the knights nearby.

”No Quick Blade has harmed me!” The Berserker Vampire roared and dove faster. Whether it was because Aron's acting was so bad or that the Vampires had not known that the magic of his lord was removed, the front line of Berserker and Knights charged forward.

At that moment, the assassin-type Champions that were so far behind were also enveloped with strange water that created a current towards Aron, and the pair moved faster than the knights and berserkers. Even though they were the last to attack, they actually became the first to arrive.

”Everyone! Retreat!” The Commander commanded, but it was too late.

The sideward slash was made.

”[Force Severance]!”

The power of True Cut was harnessed, and it occurred. The power that Aron wielded was able to cut anything that had toughness equal to 350 vitality points. Be it ice, armor, or innate toughness, it was able to cut through it.

And the power that Aron released was unlike a sharp sword in which speed and power would decrease as it met resistance. Instead, it was a constant force that severed everything in that area. And the force was consistent. Everything was being severed.

SLASH!

Skin and soul were severed as the sharp sword sliced through the several savage soldiers.

The Commander felt their souls disperse in that instance and felt a painful sensation as his connection with all of them was severed. The strange attack that Aron used harnessed True Cut that even his mental connection with them was severed, leading to a mind attack.

Two knights, the Berserker, one swordsman, and one assassin, were caught in the attack of Aron.

The surviving vampires felt the pain, as well as their souls, felt a slicing pain as if a sword was stabbed on their forehead.

After delivering the attack, Aron used his force energy to push him down to the army of shadows below.

The shadow beings were still marching and moving towards the portal, and the constant movement allowed Aron to blend in.

”That was nice. All the experience was given to me. Kyros was right. Since I'm the only one around, I get the whole pie.” Aron smiled as he fell. He could feel the energy building up, and he was close to yet another level up.

He began to move and would perform stabs and slashes when he could. With his talent, these attacks didn't consume a bit, and he was slowly using the shadows to regain his spent strength.

”Now, I just hope Kyros's theory will work.” Aron secretly gazed and observed the Champions.

”I need to kill at least a hundred of these shadows to regain the force energy I spent...” Aron thought.

The angry mages shot their massive ice magic as they recovered.

Two huge ice beams were shot down on the area where Aron disappeared too.

BOOM! BOOM!
