1417 The Underground World
Girl! Do you like such fairy tales or what? If so then it was expected why she was acting in such an energetic way inside the apocalypse.
To her, it seemed this entire apocalypse and adventures were like living a dream, living inside a fairy tale or something like that.
But she wasn’t wrong here. As we got out of the rabbit hole, I saw another world in front of my eyes.
This one didn’t have any suns at all, didn’t look as hot as the surface looked like, and wasn’t empty.
In fact when I came out, what met my eyes was the grand gathering of tons of flying things.
These weren’t like islands, it was more like the Hescos’ suits. If not for the huge bodies of the ones wearing these suits, I’d have doubted them to be part of the Hescos.
Each single one of them was at least one hundred metres in length, and they looked like they were the same in shape and size.
Some had pillar-like bodies, others got bodies like pagodas, and some looked like they were mountains or something.
Many got tentacles, others got many arms, and few didn’t get anything at all. I even saw a group who looked like spheres, perfect spheres without a single arm, limb, or tentacle coming out from them.
As for the ground, there were tons of forces there. I spotted the Silences, locusts, fiends, and even Exomachines.
“Well well, what a nice welcoming party this is,” I didn’t feel any surprise or worry, even when I saw a new race here, not even when I got totally surrounded.
“They seem to wait for us,” Sara moved forward, standing by my side, looking with fiery eyes towards the entire world around, “this is more what I like! A straightforward enemy, one who doesn’t lean towards cheap tactic tricks!”
“Tactics aren’t cheap!” Legend stood up and became on my side, “wars can’t be won without tactics!”
“I hate tactics!” Sara blurted out, and when I turned around, I spotted most of my generals stepping up and standing beside me.
Only Isac remained behind with a general that seemed to not grow interested in all this, that jerk, the jumper.
Seeing that dude standing back there told me his man wasn’t indeed here in this world.
“What will we do now?” it was Isac who asked the question, and it wasn’t me who answered it.
“We will fight for sure,” it was Sara, and she spoke in such an excited tone that told me she was barely holding herself from jumping outside and fighting.
“Then…” Isac didn’t need to say anything as everyone around me turned and gazed over my direction. I knew they wanted to fight, but I was the only one who would grant them the ability to do so.
“Just wait here for a few minutes,” I didn’t hurry to take out my warriors. Instead I stepped over the edge of my chariot, ready to jump, “I’ll clear a path for you then you can join me down there.”
“Tsk, having all the fun for yourself first, that’s not fair!” Sara grunted from behind, and I couldn’t help but laugh while jumping high in the air, getting out of the protection of my chariot’s shield.
“If you have the ability, then you shall come down here first.”
“Tsk!”
The moment I went outside my chariot’s shield, the entire world seemed to set its deadly gaze and lock it upon me.
I felt tons of eyes falling on me, with immense pressure coming from everywhere. But that didn’t matter. I already prepared myself with the best boosts I could have. And I was ready to start out a big fight solo, facing the entire world alone.
My aim was to first test those flying things wearing suits. They wore suits that were similar to the Hescos from the surface.
I couldn’t tell if these suits were just the same as the ones worn by Hescos, and would work to protect the owners from most attacks except ones filled with spiritual power.
Would they be different? Like the gears of the fiends? Giving those creatures special abilities and skills? Would these suits boost their defences and strengths? Or did they have other effects?
I needed to test them first to determine the best approach to crush them. I also wanted to test my technique over them. No matter how I looked, these new enemies looked quite formidable.
If I could snatch a good number of them, then it’d be great!
The new enemy spanned to cover the entire sky here. The sky was different from the one at the surface, at least it had clouds.
I appeared from a hole in the sky, and when I looked back at that hole, I saw it was like a small star, emanating light towards here.
How come? Weren’t lights coming from down here? Or does this world have some sort of complicated mechanism to divert the light from outside to down here?
As for the new enemies with suits, they were in millions, tens of millions, or even more if the entire world was filled with them. Their suits came in colours, like the suits of Hescos.
I saw all colours all around as if it was some sort of festival. The moment I became airborne, free from the protection of my chariot’s shield, the entire world acted against me.
It was enough evidence that the ones leading this world knew more news about me and my abilities and items. So they knew trying to get me inside my chariot would be futile.
The chariot was well protected with a sturdy shield. And so they never let their forces attack me until I stepped out from that shield.
And then everything tried to get a bite off me!
Endless streams of lights fell over my body like flashes of cameras, while many weapons got thrown at me from everywhere.
I saw gears, the gears of fiends, the ones who could explode or attack under the fiends’ control, coming at my direction. I saw sabres, swords, glaives, spears, and arrows heading at me from the ground.
