Chapter 596 - With you, the Empire is invincible!
GDK 596: With you, the Empire is invincible!
The swarm of gargoyles formed dark clouds as they dove downwards. The sea of undead creatures blindly charged ahead. Little Skeleton, mounted on a bone dragon, skillfully released waves after waves of necromancy magic covering a large area against those orc warriors.
When a godly existence descended onto the mortal world, without any expert of the same class of strength, the god was practically unstoppable!
Although Little Skeleton was just a lowgod, necromancy magic was suitable for large scale battle. The flood of necromancy creatures had actually drowned the orc warriors.
Han Shuo’s avatar transformed into a longsword that traveled with a long trail of radiance and he meandered about above the battlefield. Anywhere he passed, he would leave the orc warriors reduced to pieces, not one of them left in one piece.
This battle was a total imbalance to one side in terms of strength. Against Han Shuo and Little Skeleton, two lowgod existences, these orc warriors who had been acting like overlords for the past few years, all turned into sitting ducks waiting to be slaughtered. They had no capacity to put up any resistance.
Even the shamans dispatched by the orc warriors were slaughtered on the spot by Han Shuo and Little Skeleton like breaking dried twigs. The strength possessed by the duo had far, far exceeded these experts. Their deaths caused the orc warriors a tremendous psychological blow.
Cruel slaughtering continued to happen at the battlefield. The undead creatures found all over the battlefield did not feel fear and did not perceive pain. In these aspects, they were undoubtedly the most terrifying soldiers. As long as their souls remained, they could continue to attack even when their bodies were destroyed.
With all kinds of aiding boundaries deployed, the strength and speed of the undead creatures were boosted substantially. They continued to wildly attack the orc warriors…
Unwittingly, the army of orcs that had been eyeing the South Border City covetously for the last few years had suffered disastrous losses under the joint assault of Han Shuo and Little Skeleton. Not a single one of those orc experts dispatched to obstruct the duo could make it out alive and were all cleanly eliminated. Faced against the undead creatures that seemed not to know pain nor tiredness, more and more orcs of this enormous army shrieked like ghosts and collapsed into their own pool of blood…
“Ok,” Han Shuo replied. He noticed that the gravestone on Little Skeleton’s chest seemed to have the function of accelerating his gathering and absorption of the energy of death. Han Shuo had deployed his altar at nearly the same time as Little Skeleton did, but at this moment, not only had Little Skeleton vacuumed away all the energy of death around the altar, he had even completed the energy conversion inside his body, while Han Shuo was only halfway there.
Naturally, Little Skeleton would not be courteous with Han Shuo. After he recited some miraculous incantation, the altar beneath him, which was originally used for gathering the energy of death, suddenly glowed with a hazy neon green light. The swarms of undead creatures rushed to the center of the altar and faded away among the light.
The undead creatures went as quickly as they came. It took only a short while before the enormous amount of undead creatures returned to the Netherworld via the altar below Little Skeleton.
After seeing that all the undead creatures had orderly entered the altar, Little Skeleton turned to Han Shuo and transmitted, “Alright. Please send me home, father.”
Although Han Shuo felt somewhat astonished, he did not voice it out. After reciting a simple necromancy incantation, Little Skeleton seemed to be grabbed by spacetime and disappeared in a bright flash of light.
“This kid is getting more and more miraculous,” Han Shuo lamented with a smile. Instead of rushing to leave, Han Shuo hovered at the same place and silently absorbed the energy of destruction above the battlefield using the altar below him.
The energy of destruction produced by the death of a few hundred thousand orcs was considerable. Without a miraculous treasure like the Little Skeleton’s gravestone, Han Shuo needed to spend more time and effort to absorb the energy.
Han Shuo was in no hurry. He hovered in midair as he linked his soul to the altar below him. His Domain of Divinity deployed to form a barrier similar to spiderweb and absorbed the energy of destruction collected inside the altar bit by bit. Han Shuo took a deep breath before flying downwards with the palm of his hand facing at his altar. It seemed to be shrouded by an incorporeal canvas as it disappeared inch by inch.
Han Shuo gazed all around at the battlefield. He looked at the dead bodies, weapons, and armor scattered all about, shook his head, and flew towards South Border City.
Before, Han Shuo would surely have stayed over to collect the weapons and armors. However, times had changed. Those weapons and armors were no longer worth anything in Han Shuo’s eyes and therefore he wouldn’t waste his time on this junk.
After a streak of light flashed through, a majestic figure appeared beside Firenze who was still gaping at the battlefield.
“South Border City will not be confronted by any threats from the Orc Empire for a while. Right, do clean up the battlefield. Some of the items might be worth some money,” Han Shuo smilingly said as he looked at Firenze beside him.
Firenze was suddenly awakened and turned to look at Han Shuo. This tough man who had been unrestrained and crude all that time was now fumbling for words. He stared blankly for a while before forcing a smile and nodding as he said, “Hundreds of thousand of orcs – all gone – just like that. Even if the Orc Empire still has troops left, they will never dare infringe on our South Border City again until they figure out the matter.”
Han Shuo grinned and calmly said, “Oh, good then. After I take care of the big menace that is Kasi Empire, we can reassemble our military and invade them instead!”
Firenze listened, then kept silent again for a long while as he looked deeply into Han Shuo’s eyes. After ages, he finally proclaimed, “With you, the Empire is invincible!”
