Novel Full 1598 Time For Counterattack
The enemies didn’t see me do such a thing before. All they saw was for Lucas II to just create silver land over thin air or in space.
They would mistake such ability with the one of creating stones and land. And if that was true… Then…
“I should not hurry and try it then,” I paused, “I should first go and inspect the other bases, establish the bubbles, and make the enemy believe they really got me…”
Well… The enemy was the one who tried to act smart and cunning. So I got my appetite aroused, and wanted to not just crush this base, but crush as many bases as I could in the next wave of attack.
I already cleared five continents of the main bases, unleashed lots of warriors around in each continent to clear more enemy forces and keep the pressure over the enemy at these places.
So I have almost forty-five continents to go to. And I planned to go and visit all of them!
I kept returning back to ground zero, using my portals and jumping towards the enemy’s continents.
Doing this didn’t take as much time as I feared. As I got to know what I was doing, I just appeared in a place, used my pillar’s shields, strengthened them using my bones, and then jumped back to ground zero.
I didn’t try to take out any warriors, didn’t try to use any explosive bones or my shields’ shockwave attack.
In less than two days, I found myself just finished the task on hand. The remaining continents were all now filled with my bubbles, and that wasn’t all. I also saved bookmarks of these places, so I could jump in between them at any moment.
“Let’s see how you’ll react to this,” I kept tracking the enemy moves on the grand map. And the enemies didn’t change anything at all.
In this map, I appeared to be drifting away from the location of the main bases. I jumped to appear in a fluid world, but it seemed like this fluid was moving and not still!
I’d appear at a location, and after one hour I’d be in a totally different location. That made me realise something… The enemy needed these main bases and wasn’t willing to lose any more of these.
And that was simply like music in my ears. “I should get started,” I returned to the first bubble I created, and there I saw lots of deep cracks appearing. The shields were about to get crushed if I got delayed by a few more hours.
“My dear Lucas II, I want you to do something for me,” I took out my trump card, and it was time to see if it was going to work or not.
“Anything my liege,” he bowed and said in veneration and respect that both startled me.
I was about to reprimand him, tell him that he should call me lord, but I realised something.
Lucas II accompanied me in the last adventures and battles, witnessed everything I did and the enemies whom I crushed and triumphed over.
So it was expected why he was acting like this in my presence. “See this fluid? I want you to turn it all into air.”
“Sure, I’ll do it now!”
This was the simplest and yet most effective counterplan I got. The enemy thought he got me trapped in these fluid zones. But with Lucas II, I could turn this fluid into anything I wanted.
I thought about creating land again, yet this wasn’t going to work. What was the benefit of turning this fluid into land? It was simply perfect to turn this entire fluid into air.

“Tell me Lucas II, what will happen if…”
I said my concerns out, and Lucas II told me what I didn’t want to hear.
“Yes my liege, the fluid will turn back to its original state once my energy gets depleted.”
“This… What?” I felt bad at first, but I was greatly disappointed. But in the next second, I realised how great this actually was.
It was like blue land, which would be enough to sustain itself for one day or so, before needing Lucas II intervention.
I asked again to make sure that by his absence, this place wouldn’t retort back into its fluid state. And he confirmed that nothing would happen.
“Then start,” I turned towards the world of fluid around, “turn this damn place into a puff of air.”
And that was exactly what happened in the next few minutes!
The entire world around that was made out of fluid turned into thin air. That wasn’t enough of course to stabilise the situation here.
According to the map, my spot on it got changed and drifted away from the main base of the enemy by hundreds of miles. But that wasn’t a problem anymore.
“Thundering Might!”
One of the main problems here was gone, which was the fluid. Of course the reach of Lucas II wasn’t enough to change the entire world around, but it was enough to clear an area of tens of miles.
And then it was the turn of my shields. The moment the fluid outside got removed, my shields which were on the verge of collapse started to expand in a blink of an eye.
They covered up a huge stretch of land, and I simply kept moving fast, deploying more of my shields, while Lucas II kept turning any fluid we’d meet into air.
“Get ready, we are going to travel now,” and the most amazing thing in all this was that it didn’t take more than a few minutes to get all this done!
When I left using my staff’s portals, the enemies were gathered up front in dense numbers. And a good deal of them got entrapped inside the shields of mine.
