Chapter 179 The Battlefield (1), Dalvine.
"Forme the ranks! My master gave me only one order, this order is to teleport yourselves to the front, no matter what means I have to use to get there." Sylvia, who stood in front of the colossal army of more than ten million heavily equipped, took a hundred steps in front of them while she pronounced these words by amplifying her voice with the magic «deviant» from sounds!
"What are you fighting for? For whom? For what purpose? You all know it more than anyone else! You are the last ramparts that stand between your enemies and your families. Fear and doubt on your part will be no different from leading your wives, and your children to extermination accompanied by bloody torture. I warn you, our enemies do not intend to take prisoners, nor to spare anyone! Our only chance to survive and protect our families is to fight! Fight them for yourselves, for your peace, for your families, and finally, fight for your world!!"
Doumb!! Doumb!!! Doumb!! Doumb!!!
"FOR OUR WORLD!!" Seeing such a harmony of motivational cries between fifteen million soldiers at the same time was a more pleasant show to watch for Sylvia.
Vwooop!! Vwooop!! Vwooop!! Vwooop!! Vwooop!!! Vwooop!!!!!
Without wasting another minute, six giant portals of fifty meters-circular appeared in front of the soldiers of the six squads that each numbered 2.5 million!
"According to my master, To overcome evil, we must be demons and not angels. Therefore, if I see one person with sympathy for our enemies; it is myself who will personally take care of the person in question! Forwards march!" She spoke in the sky while frightening them by releasing a small amount of the deadly pressure that emanated from her!
The storms roared madly over her head as she watched the six squads cross her portals. It was easier than she had expected. Her nonchalant speech had given more motivation to the soldiers than she had expected!
As the Soldiers crossed the portals, Sylvia's eyes began to turn electric whites with lightning cloths in them while she focused on the crowd to accomplish her last task before returning to her post.
After an uncertain moment, her eyes focused on a male ice elf that measured about 195cm; he had a ferocious look worthy of an armed general. "Well, it's the time!" She disappeared into the air after identifying her new target who was strangely the leader of the third squad!
At the same time, the magic beasts began one by one to reach the top of the wall!
"Welcome to all of you, to Eve's garden, the Adams!" Alvine had a Machiavellian smile as he placed his hand on the ground that followed his will, starting by trembling fiercely!
While everyone was fully in what they were doing, only one person jumped joyfully like a prisoner who had successfully escaped to the opposite direction of the battlefield.
He whistled nonchalantly while having his hands behind his back while he erased fifty meters with every nonchalant jump he made! Curly white hair, and light golden eyes, were his new characteristics to differentiate him from Alvine!
These characteristics that differ from Alvine were not attributed by Dalvine, but to Alvine himself when he cloned himself. "Hm, this magic insect is really weak. I would never have thought I would catch up with him so easily. Maybe I should scare him a little so that he tries to escape with all his strength. After all, I can't call this game, a hunting game if the prey doesn't even know it's being hunted!" He said, stopping in his steps.
His golden eyes became bloody red making his vision clearer and more advanced than Sabrina's; then, he leaned to the ground by bending his knees like a sprinter who is preparing for kick-off!
"Let's see, how will I torment him?" As soon as he announced this question with a mocking smile, the ground under his feet momentarily turned into a spider's web before becoming a ten-meter-round crater because of the impact of his sudden speed. Neither he nor his shadow was visible in the forest as he stealthily sprinted into the savannah like a hungry predator, watching for his prey!
In just a few minutes of racing without using any spell of magical reinforcement, he had already covered fifty kilometers!
He raised his eyebrows when he realized that the divine beast was sprinting using all its magical strength, toward the kingdom of the Elves which was the first kingdom on his list, but had still not noticed it!
"Tsk, it could be boring. I knew that this agreement was not very fair, Kuku, but I will make this agreement fairer!" He whispered himself by once again increasing his running speed!
The divine beast, the sixth general also known for its fighting power which is far superior to the fifth general! But the reason he was still stuck at this rank was only because of his lower IQ!
"Guahaha! I can already feel the smell of fresh flesh. I'm already...!!"
Stopped!
While he was in his fantasies, he stopped abruptly when he noticed a familiar silhouette blocking his way! "S-Sir Dalvine? You shouldn't be on the battlefield?" He asked with suspicion without even realizing that he had canceled his camouflage spell.
"Kuku, are the divine beasts of this universe all as stupid as this one? If so, I really complain about your IQs. In short, I'm curious about one thing, what kind of species of the beast are you? You have a head that looks like a hyena, elephant ears, and a hairless body! That's too strange, it's my first time to see a beast like u." Dalvine asked him this question with a touch of curiosity embedded in his head.
The sixth general displayed his fangs while his golden aura immediately rose around him; the wind began to blow fiercely until they turned into three giant tornadoes, each containing hundreds of the blades of the winds!
"Hin hin hin, I don't know how you recognized me when my disguise was perfect but the biggest mistake you could make was to come here alone!" He acted as if he had not heard anything about Dalvine's question, even worse, he could not differentiate between heaven and earth by thinking that the being standing in front of him was the weak he had met in the meeting room!
"Sigh, he definitely forces me to kill it at once. One, Your aura is not even more threatening than that of my disciple; two, you'd better call for reinforcements, and three, I give you three chances to call them. once you have exhausted all these chances... you will suffer a painful double death that will prevent your soul from reincarnating!"
"Hin hin hin, you are very arrogant for a holy rank! But I don't have time to play with an ant like you. Die, [Wind's Storms!]" He raised his two front legs and smashed them against the ground by controlling the dozens of giant tornadoes that are directly connected to the skies!
*Pfff
"It's ridiculous!" Dalvine sighed with annoyance when he saw the giant tornadoes with lightning that began by scolding inside them.
But just at the time of impact, the ten tornadoes disappeared a second later without leaving the slightest trace of air ripples! The sky that was dark and roared as if the divine punishment were going to fall a second ago is now calm and placid as if there had never been tornadoes on these earth since their creations!
"W-What just happened?!!" Instead of focusing his gaze on Dalvine who was standing nonchalantly in front of him, the sixth general had horrifying eyes that traveled all directions looking for unwanted (guests) who interfered with his spell!
"Kuku, it’s disappointing. Minutes ago, your arrogance was at an incalculable level! But just after seeing your spell canceled, you became like a lamb who heard the roar of a predator. Why show me such a pitiful expression when I haven't done anything yet?"
Dalvine's mocking voice resounded before the divine beast whose nature remains a mystery.
"You are canceling my magic?! Don't make fun of me! No one can interfere with other's magic, even the king of beasts and our creator are unable to!" He screamed at the unbelieving words of his enemy who only sought to sow confusion in his mind!
Even if he did not know how his magical attack was mysteriously canceled, he was not so desperate as to believe in the stupidity that his enemy had just said.
Just to confirm his hypothesis, his claws began to be enveloped by a thick layer of winds, his body wrapped in green bestial armor! All the aurae of surroundings were as if frozen in time and space as he prepared his greatest skill!
"Ho? so, you know how to use the elementary law? Kuku, interesting." Dalvine commented when he saw his (enemy), used the elementary law that is considered a mortal law. But despite everything, it was a feat to see a divine beast of this planet, which is late for cultivation, be able to learn and manipulate the affinity of wind to perfection!
'You will regret and soon beg me to give you a quick death when you realize that you are no longer unable to breathe. Nor to be able to defend you in my divine domain!' He had a euphoric smile as he prepared his most powerful attack.
But he looked ridiculous in front of Dalvine who could not only clearly hear what he was saying in his head, but also hoping to beat a being whose Sylvia, who was a Punisher, was not even sure to emerge victorious by facing Dalvine.
Swoom-Vwuuj!!!
In front of Dalvine's nonchalant look, a thick grayish fog began to cover a kilometer of space around! Even if fog seemed to be only a normal fog, it was actually more dangerous. Apart from the characteristics that the mysterious beast had just mentioned in his thoughts, the fog itself can corrupt and transform the surrounding air into a poison smoke or a corrosive product for the body of a cultivator of divine rank! But the biggest advantage of his domain was that he allowed him to deal a fatal blow to his opponent whenever he wanted!
"Hin-hin-hin! You're troubled, aren't you? You are no longer able to breathe, your body is weighed down, your magic veins are blocked? Know that from the moment you let me finish my preparations, you were stupidly condemned yourself!" He screamed in an unpleasant tone while his ugly body, which was covered with a windshield, was bathed in his majestically divine energy.
But his arrogance could not last long when he saw Dalvine's smile as if he were despising him! Feeling that something was wrong, he soon made his movement, lest Dalvine escapes into his trap or try something unnatural! "[Explosion of the domain]!" He thundered.
As its name indicated, this skill varies from one user to another! But an emperor mage who had managed to manifest his domain, if he activates this spell, not only will his soul be severely damaged, but he will no longer be able to rebuild his domain forever! But in exchange, the spell can annihilate a divine mage without leaving anything behind! This was the price to pay for such power. The spell will be all the more destructive and the price to be paid will be even greater if it is activated by a divine magus! That's why some mages prefer to die than blow up their domain!
But contrary to what he expected, his domain had neither exploded nor caused a simple scratch to Dalvine; the estate was simply... evaporated in nothingness! The thick fog that extended more than four kilometers had mysteriously disappeared into nothingness without leaving traces; just like the anomaly that had occurred with the storms!
"Sigh, there's nothing fun with you; what should I do to motivate you?" Dalvine put his hand under his chin as he thought about a better strategy to make things more interesting. But suddenly, a crazy idea crossed his mind; even more crazy than Alvine could imagine.
He approached the sixth general step by step with a warm smile. "Don't move!" He said to the beast who was standing before him.
Hearing his words, the sixth sniffed with arrogance. He wanted to hear everything from Alvine who did not release any ounce of energy but who had been mysteriously able to cancel his spells; only these words. All that came to his mind was to move away from this anomaly that canceled all his magical and physical attacks!
But by the time he decided to retreat, his hideous face deformed; and a fear he had never felt even ahead the king of beasts, emerged from the depths of his heart! He could neither move a dough back nor blink; moving from his place was a luxury he will never be able to have at the moment!
"Kuku, you just exhausted two chances. But as you still have a chance, I will fulfill your wish. You wanted to report to your superior, didn't you? Kuku, What if we go together?"
With these simple words, Dalvine executed the competence of [Shadow Jump]. He and the divine beast began to be swallowed up by his shadow that had just spread under his feet! Dalvine's destination was obviously obvious if we relied on his words!
