393 [Bonus chapter] Fighting Two Paragons
Yes these cracks were amended fast, but that meant how fierce these attacks were.
“Trying to kill me before I’d kill you? Interesting,” I read through what happened here. This wasn’t just a single paragon attack, but the two paragons united together to form such a deadly attack.
But that might work against someone else, not me.
Just as that torrent of attack came at me, I knew these paragons made a grave mistake regarding my Libra.
They thought I had to keep an eye over my target for the Libra to work. In fact if anyone revised the battle before with their dead paragon, they’d jump to this conclusion indeed.
I had to first locate and expose that paragon before cursing him. But I did so because I didn’t know where he was, or what he was like.
I might have needed to spot my target, but that was only for the curse to initiate. After that the curse would work on its own, releasing its magic once done.
So as they started their combined attack, I moved my chariot fast away from this place. They tried to control the big fiery blocks of embers to follow me, but that proved to be nearly impossible.
These rocks were so big that it was hard to shift their direction. Once I came in the sky, the only threat I got was from the falling blue burning arrows, nothing more.
These small arrows didn’t pose much threat to me. As I became far away, I could see the obvious relief over that dude’s face.
“Idiot,” this was the only comment I could give for such a paragon.
As one was getting cursed, and other forces here were getting under my control by each passing minute, it was time to seek that second bastard.
From the direction this arrow came from, that dude was outside the ring for sure. I looked in that direction and was met with a fantastic scene.
As the paragon here was trying to make that flying island, that other paragon already formed his. During the time I got busy dealing with people here, that dude took his time and summoned that flying island.
It was the size of a few miles in radius, taking the shape of a five angle star. It was covered with a shield, but it didn’t block my sight.
I saw that paragon standing in the middle of his forces doing something. Damn! He wasn’t that satisfied with that arrow attack from earlier.
I knew now these paragons came here well prepared. That also told me a lot about the difference between these paragons and the ones from other races.
Just facing one of these Hector paragons made me feel how risky it was. It all needed a single mistake or even a delay in response for me to lose.
Each time I fought them, I was faced with a new style of attack, giving me the impression this race wasn’t just a single race.
It looked like they gathered the knowledge of all other races they enslaved, and used these to their advantage.
That was a bad sign, making me want to kill these two paragons right here, right now.
But my Libra could only deal with one target at a time. I had to wait until the first paragon was cursed before turning towards the second.
From the look of things here, that second paragon didn’t think about running away. Something gave them the confidence to deal with me in such a way.
That was great. If that bastard decided to run away now, I wouldn’t be able to stop him.
“Keep yourself there, and wait for me to come and curse you,” I muttered while returning to focus on the battle down below.
The forces down there were already getting under my control by almost thirty percent. I instantly took out many contracts and started to sign them, distribute them over, and waited for my new followers to emerge.
Many of my summoned forces here from the lady nymph were killed already. But there were still enough to make a great force using my new followers.
“Go, attack those bastards there,” at this point, I decided to aim at that paragon. As for the other one, he was already flying higher than anyone’s reach.
The ground after getting broken and devastated like this looked like a piece of hell. Blue fire kept spreading right and left, while many gaps appeared at certain areas, while small burning hills appeared at another.
This also killed lots of forces down below. But I felt nothing towards that, not even considering them as a loss except for losing their souls.
Under my command, the forces under my control moved and attacked that paragon. That shield summoned by him wasn’t big enough to shield lots of his forces.
So most of his elites had to move out and got entangled with my forces. Once they fought for a couple of minutes with them, the threads of mine would already infest deeply in their souls.
That added more elite Hectares to my forces. But unlike my other forces here, this one wasn’t that docile to be tamed with contracts.
I tried, but failed. That bastard used some sort of a higher grade contract, blocking any contract of mine to break in.
So I had to wait until I’d kill him, do the same thing I did before with the previous paragon forces.
Yet from the shape of it, this battle here was almost concluded. That paragon was now gathering up his strength and controlling a large area of land to rise.
But he lacked any good number of forces to fight on his side. Even if he managed to complete his technique here, he still ended up standing alone in the middle of such a great army.
“Die you bastards!”
Just as he rose up half a mile, he was so impatient and made like what the dead paragon did before.
Large pieces of that floating island started to break free and fall. With it many forces fell and many lost their lives, and much more were left heavily wounded.
