Chapter 1316 - A Chaotic Battle (2/2)
Hao Ren looked up immediately, and he could already see the change ahead. Beyond the horizon, a swarm of dark clouds roiled in the skies, and many tentacle-like structures broke through the clouds, rushing toward the ground. In the midst of all the tentacles, a storm was forming, while dust was kicked up high as shadows of countless beings tore through the dust cloud.
In Lockmarton’s Nightmare Realm, where Order was totally lost, the presence of most warning systems was pretty much meaningless. The Power of Chaos could appear at will at any point in the corrupted land without so much as a sign!
“Beware, that is the manifestation of Lockmarton’s power!” Geddon warned. “Looking in his direction, Lockmarton’s body appears to only be about a few hundred kilometers away… Hmm? His minions seem to be charging towards us!”
The monsters from the maelstrom had formed into a black tide. It surged towards Fidelinopolis and the broken camp. At the same time, Hao Ren noticed the reactions of those within the camp.
The twisted soldiers were seemingly capable of sensing the chaotic monsters, and as the chaotic energy started coalescing, they were already anxious for action. In a mere few moments, they broke out of their stupor. They began to move into formations and marched out of the camp toward the plains!
“It looks like they’re about to clash…” Lily felt nervous before she noticed something. Pointing at Fidelinopolis, she yelped, “Mr. Landlord, Mr. Landlord! Look, there are people coming out of the city!”
While the monsters in the camp charged toward the plains, movement stirred within the partially-ruined Fidelinopolis. A few of the still-intact bell towers rang, and light shone from the statues on the church buildings and walls. Amid the chiming of the bells and light, an army charged out of the ruined gate of Fidelinopolis!
They were all wearing bright mithril armor, which glimmered under the light of dusk. Golden war banners bearing the goddess’ image fluttered in the air and armored steeds carried the army. Sharp enchanted swords hung from their waists as they held holy icons and burning amulets. Above the massive army were a group of battle priests as well as clerics who were wearing long robes and holding staves in their hands. These clergymen were casting all sorts of blessings and protection magic on the knights. As a result, the knights began to look stronger and stronger while they sped up!
It was a typical holy sanctum army—well-equipped, strong, and unwavering in their morale!
The holy army caught up to the monstrous army from the camp not long after and started to advance with them.
Hao Ren saw many of the clergies fly up and bless the monster army with protection spells. Meanwhile, some of them shouted, trying to communicate with the horde. But it was a fruitless attempt as the monsters did not respond. They only marched on steadily toward the incoming monsters of Chaos!
At last, the two lines clashed, kicking up a storm of dust and gore.
As the monsters clashed, it was almost impossible to distinguish friend from foe. They were both twisted, both rotten, and both nightmarish in appearances. It was like two massive tides of flesh colliding against each other as they tore at each other, dark energies shooting up from the center. Such a primal, bestial clash would rattle even the most veteran of soldiers!
Soon after, the army from Fidelinopolis joined the fray.
Dust quickly covered the entire battlefield as Calaxus and the rest looked on at the apocalyptic battle. Concurrently, Hao Ren began to realize something.
“We gonna stand here and watch?” Y’zaks patted Y’lisabet’s tiny head as he turned to face Hao Ren.
“No.” Hao Ren pulled out his spear and pistol from his Dimensional Pocket. “This is a good time to intervene.”
