In front of that portal, a large number of giants appeared. They each held massive sledgehammers, waving these around like they were holding small toys or something.
Comparing the two sides together, my humans lacked in everything. The newcomers weren’t weak. They were also supported with their high stats and cultivation.
Just the first minutes of attacks, the frontline of my humans crumbled. Many died and much more were thrown in the air like they were nothing.
“Get back here,” I wasn’t ready to lose these humans yet. “As for you… I won’t say no to any race you throw at me.”
That bastard seemed to read my technique wrong. He thought my technique only targeted humans as I was one.
But he didn’t know that my technique was aiming at shadows. No matter which race it was, their shadows would end up under my control.
As I gave the order to retreat for my boys, I didn’t hurry to show up the fierce side of my technique. In fact I kept only focusing on controlling more humans around, neglecting the Bulltors.
To be honest, since the first day I got my Bulltors and I dreamt about getting more. So at this moment, how could I let such a chance slip by my hands?
I had to keep drowning that bastard deeper into his illusion and misunderstanding. Like this he would get as many Bulltors as possible, letting me gather them in one fell swoop later on.
I also needed to prepare. Who knew what else that bastard was preparing this time. He took a longer time to react, meaning he must have arranged something against my actions here.
The contracts humans here had from him were all weak and low class. So if I was him, I’d refresh all the contracts of these Bulltors, using a much higher and much stronger kind of contracts.
That enemy of mine was another paragon. I didn’t know why I was attracting paragons of this race in such a way. I stayed in the apocalypse all this time, and never faced a single paragon of any race here till Hectors came in picture.
What? Were they having lots of paragons to throw them around like cannon fodders? Or were they just placing a great bounty over my head, enough to lure all these paragons over my path?
Fighting paragons wasn’t a good thing. After all these were considered the top of the pyramid, the cream of crop here.
Facing them meant facing not only strong foes, but ones with immense wealth, treasures, and forces ready to stand up and fight for them.
But for me it wasn’t that bad. Just using my Anubis treasure against them meant I was going to cut the head of the snake in one move.
It was risky, yet it was rewardable as well. I couldn’t say I hated fighting paragons or even liked it.
Anyway, my bone energy was consumed for almost two thirds. I looked up at the portal and the number of Bulltors gushing out was now in tens of thousands.
I had to wait until he released hundreds of thousand before moving. At the same time, I opened my marker and looked at the highest grade possible contract I could purchase at this stage.
I got a long list of contracts at this moment. The first thing I looked up at was the most pricey contract here.
It was like an invisible kind of contract, only could be broken with the intervention of a god.
Damn! We both were fighting at the same stage of the apocalypse. So that dude must have used this kind of contract to bind these Bulltors to him.
Even if the price for a single contract was fifty million coins, for such a paragon of such a wealthy race, it wasn’t a big deal.
Sigh! It seemed I could only control them temporarily and wouldn’t be able to hold them by my side.
[That god says that killing the head of the snake will let its body loose]
Just at this moment, I got such a message from that god. Well… hitting the head of the snake… Did he mean killing that bastard?
But how? I still couldn’t sniff a whim of him yet.
[That god says why not use that compass of yours?]
“Compass? You mean Anubis compass?” I shouted in a loud tone out of realisation.
Indeed I could use it! After all, I wanted nothing more at this moment than finding that bastard and killing him!
But no matter where I tried to look, I never found even a trace of him. He was somewhere near, I was sure of that.
Or else he wouldn’t be able to adapt in such a manner. I got out my compass, feeling more regret to not think about it at first.
I was pressured by this hectic battle from the start till now. I had to grow calm and be more thoughtful about my assets.
Just like this instance here, with just this compass I could pinpoint towards my enemy and find his location.
Anyway, I owe you one, a big one, my god.
He indeed gave me a valuable hand here. Starting from getting me inspiration about my cultivation, filling the gaps left by Sith, and ending up suggesting the contract thing and this idea of killing that Hector paragon.
I’d surely need such a brilliant mind to be on my side. I decided, my next god as a sponsor would be you.
And now… I had to think of how I’d fight and kill that paragon in the shortest period of time.
After all… He was a paragon, not just the normal kind of pathetic opponents one would find anywhere here.
Finding him was just this hard to begin with. Not to mention the task of killing him would be much harder than ever.
“I got my Libra anyway,” no matter what plan I’d think about, using my Libra to weaken him was the first step I had to take.
[That god says you can’t use this… Or else the entire forces belonging to him will lose a great deal of their power]
“What the f*ck…!!!”
