377 Weird Cubes
Anyway I got them under my control, got lots of people under my contracts… and now it was time for me to stop my technique.
I looked at the technique hovering in midair. It looked great. With all these threads spanning out of it I recalled what it did at the battle before.
If not for this little baby here, I’d have ended up facing a different end of the story.
I simply cut the energy influx towards the circle, watching it die out. The threads withered away just like tree branches got dead after the cut of the main tree.
If I was saved by this technique, then I’d also have to solve its main weakness; my spiritual energy.
I lacked enough to run it on my own. Plus I didn’t want to stop here. I wanted to keep testing, create more awesome techniques for me to use.
But this wasn’t the right time to do so.
As Lily gave the order, all the Hector race dudes boarded the chariot. Of course I only allowed for her and a few of her trusted people to come on the roof, as the body of their killed leader was still there.
I didn’t want anyone to get over his head and go berserk when seeing the dead body of that paragon.
“Stay here,” as they were all on board, I had to finish another task; claiming all the rewards from this battle.
I gained the dead body of that paragon, but there were still thousands upon thousands of his elites killed and scattered everywhere.
“Go, look for people like these dead and bring them back,” I pointed at Lily and others, making their faces slightly change.
“May I ask what our mighty lord is going to do with our dead?” Lily still acted as their spokesman, as she was the only one daring to approach me and ask.
“I’m going to give them all a good burial,” I summed up everything I’d do like this. And she nodded in response.
Under their gazes I leant over the dead body of that paragon. I could see conflicted looks and expressions from them, but I didn’t mind them all.
After all this was my rightful win and this was my rightful loot.
Well… That paragon was really something else! I gained half of his inventory, and that was enough to make mine swell by five times directly!
And that was after that dude got such scared feet and started to maniacally burn his treasures at the last standing moment.
In terms of stat points alone, I estimated my gains to be three or four billion at least.
And that wasn’t everything.
“What do we have here?”
I found interesting stuff inside my inventory. I took one out. It was in the shape of a cube, made of bronzed material with deep linings that kept flashing in silver light.
It was the size of my closet fist. I looked up at this cube, feeling it wasn’t a normal thing at all.
“That suits us… last mighty one held for us to use,” Lily recognised this cube the moment I took it out.
And her words managed to pique my interest without doubt.
“Do you mean… The suits you always had on your bodies?” I pointed at the suits that they were wearing.
These things were really strong. But after all this fighting, they got damaged and lost many of their pieces.
“It’s used by linking it using one’s blood… Our mighty one… The last one I mean had enough to arm one hundred thousand army with these.”
“One hundred thousand…” I thought for a moment. I only got fifty thousand.
At first I was so excited until she said that part to me. Damn! Right now I am feeling less satisfied. I should get all of them… No, I must!
I instantly thought about a solution. I’d ask for five of my team to grab their shares from this dude here. After all, leaving his body to rot was a waste.
“Here,” without even sparing a glance over to her, I took out enough suits to arm the couple thousands I got from Hectors, “use them instead of your damaged suits.”
“Lord… This…” her face told me she was surprised.
“Don’t,” I waved my hand to stop her, “you are following me now. And I can’t let you walk around in such weak and tattered suits.”
I left her looking at my back while I sent my words for my team to gather up.
The remaining chase fight could be left to anyone under them. It wasn’t such a big thing anyway. These scattered forces weren’t strong to pose any threat anymore.
I turned my gaze now over the large human army down below. What should I do with them?
I lost, lost a lot of forces in this battle. The first thing I’d logically do was to replenish the forces I had.
But that wasn’t going to consume even one tenth of their numbers.
“I should rebuild the entire forces from scratch,” that was the best thing to do. After all, I got the Bulltors to be the crown jewel of this battle.
The only drawback here was that they weren’t summoned warriors. So I couldn’t just summon them back and store them into my inventory, carry them anywhere I’d go.
But that wasn’t everything I wanted to ask about. The humans here were in hundreds of thousands. Even after all the massacre done by the Bulltors, there were still so many of them.
I made sure to recruit more after killing that bastard. Despite not having much time to do so, I gained a lot.
Didn’t they come from other apocalypses? It was a perfect chance to get to know what other apocalypses look like. I also would ask them about other humans, how I could get humans like them.
But the knowledge I’d get from them about other apocalypses would be priceless. I need to know, I need to close this wide gap between humans and other races about this apocalypse.
