25 Control (1/2)
”I underestimated you,” Robert uttered as he gazed upon the grotesque appearance of the dismembered corpses that are littered in front of him. His face was disgruntled as his grip on his sword became tighter. His eyes turned bloodshot as he silently passed through the lifeless corridor.
He felt frustrated, not for the fact that Cray had escaped and that they were being besieged by a horde of monsters. He felt frustrated because the team that had just died took him a lot of time to cultivate. He knew that to increase his own power, he needed to make his own subordinates stronger.
Right now, most of those specially cultivated subordinates have either died off from the monster invasion or had just died from the hands of Cray. He knew that if this were to continue then the after-effects would be just horrendous. For five years, he had made these soldiers extremely loyal to him while making sure that they got stronger as time goes by. All of his efforts had just been popped like a bubble.
”You're gonna pay for this, mark my words.” He softly said before he began to search for Cray himself.
In the command room, however, most of them were panicking. ”A lord Class.....”
They had been silenced by the fact that their enemy had turned from a serpent into a flying dragon. There was no way they could fight out the enemy like this. Only the commander would have the ability to actually hurt that kind of monster.
As for their commander, they all shook their heads. ”Everyone, it's been an honor to be fighting with you.” A soldier who had given up on surviving this calamity had now a resolute-looking face.
That was the face that was prepared to throw everything in, even his own life. One by one, the soldiers who had given up hope had stood up with a strange fire in their eyes. Their backs that looked as if they were carrying a huge burden but now had just been lifted off, these men were prepared to give up their survival.
”What are you saying? If the youngest says that then it would only make it bad if we wouldn't join you.” A man who gave a quite refreshing smile nodded his head.
”Brother! we're all in this together! If we die, we die trying!” Just like that, their morale which was falling had begun to skyrocket. They were being pushed by this mood that if they put their heads together then everything will be alright.
But they were just being naive. None of them had the capacity to actually hurt the lord class. This was all just wishful thinking born from the absolute despair that even they had to make up some kind of hope in order to stay sane.
The situation outside had just turned for the worse, the enemies attacked with a much more vigor than ever before. The monsters would now continue fighting under the command of the Lord Class monster. Each and every one of them had bloodthirsty eyes as if they have lost all their reasoning.
