I then turned my attention towards the Krakens and Dragons. “You two will have to wait on the side. After half an hour, start going to the water and fight the rear monsters or those trying to get away. Always keep pushing them hard, don’t give these bastards any moment of rest.”
“Roar!”
And I got an earth shattering wave of roars in response to my words.
They were bloodthirsty for the battle. And now I had to do my part.
I went towards the lake, walked in until the cold water reached almost my waist. I took out my glaive, used it to injure my right arm.
I was going to use the richest form of energy I had, the energy running in my veins. Monsters were weak in front of blood. And my blood contained a large amount of energy thanks to my cultivation.
And it was needed for something else.
My blood spread over the lake water surface, getting fainter when it mixed with it. In the early couple minutes, nothing much happened.
Only a few bubbles appeared here and there, giving me the impression my blood needed time for the monsters to sniff it.-ɴ(0)ᴠᴇʟ.
But after five minutes, I felt it was weird. What? Was my blood not tasty enough for your taste? Why didn’t they come yet?
I was close to giving up when the tenth minute arrived. However just before I’d take my arm off the water, I noticed a big change happening in the distance.
The calm water of the lake changed abruptly, rising up for tens of metres out of the blue. This sudden rise was broad, extending almost from a point of the horizon to another.
It felt like a violent explosion occurred. I looked at that mighty wave, and waited impatiently for the monsters to arrive.
“Get ready,” I shouted, “they are coming!”
ɴ(O)ᴠᴇʟ Just as I shouted, that wave broke in such an unnatural way. If it was like tsunami waves, it would advance and get momentum and more height.
But it broke down towards my direction, falling in altitude while gaining speed.
It was like it wasn’t a wave made out of water, but monsters racing to come in my direction. ɴ(O)ᴠᴇʟ
Come, come baby come, let me get rid of you in one fell swoop! Let the big battle begin.
*Roar!*
The first to hear was the violent roars coming from the direction of that wave. As it got near the shore, near me, its height dropped from tens of metres to around seven or eight metres or even lower.
As the wave shrunk down, hazy silhouettes of monsters started to appear. They looked big, at least ten metres in length.
They got big heads with broad horns that extended obliquely from the side of their eyes.
I couldn’t see their shapes in great detail thanks to the massive amount of water they rode upon. The water wave came in such fierceness and speed towards me.
And I knew I had to act.
“Time for you, my beloved technique, to shine,” I wasn’t planning on directly fighting those monsters. Instead, I planned from the start to work at taking control over them. ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕ(ꪫ)ꪣꫀꪶ
I was lacking aquatic forces. And this was a chance for me to turn the tables around, use the same dagger my enemy prepared for me and turn it into my weapon.
As for my forces here, they would work to first control the brutal wave coming in my direction until I’d control enough monsters to make things balanced.
Then I’d make them surround this place, making sure not a single monster would retreat. As for those who would be wise to not come here, I’d use my Krakens and Dragons to attack them.
In brief, I wasn’t planning on leaving any single monster in these lakes. One way or another, I was going to purge this entire place and get rid of such threatening monsters.
“Go!” Once I completed my technique using my right arm, I took out piles of bones and started to absorb them.
It wasn’t time to do things slowly. Once the bones turned into energy, I started to release a ton of threads around.
It was my first time trying such a thing. I didn’t know if water would hinder my thread speed or ability, but nothing of this happened.
My threads moved like snakes, directly hitting at the incoming monsters. And with it, the first batch of monsters got under my control.
“Attack!” I shouted, “kill those at the sides, leave the centre to me!”
“Roar!”
I previously planned this fight to commence in a different scenario. But the monsters didn’t come like I imagined.
So I had to let my boys attack early one, focus their fire at the flanks, leaving the centre for me to handle.
*Boom!* *Boom!* *Boom!*
Sounds of explosions came from all over the place. I stood so damn close to feel my eardrums getting penetrated by such high and intense sounds.
But that didn’t distract me even for a second. Once the first batch of threads worked to control monsters, much more appeared from their bodies and moved to control the ones behind them.
As these monsters were driven by my blood and energy, they lost much of their mental strength, leaving them vulnerable for me to take over them without much trouble.
In a few seconds, these monsters would be controlled by my threads. Then like a bomb exploding, my threads would expand from these and reach others around.
In the span of time it took for the wave to reach the shore, I already controlled thousands of these monsters.
“Attack!”
Their first task was to interrupt the movements of the other monsters. I didn’t have time to force a contract over them. Also I didn’t know how much of these early monsters would survive this bloodbath.
So I just focused wholeheartedly over controlling them, leaving the issue of the contract for later time.
*Splash!*
The sudden turning of the frontline monsters against those around made a great ruckus, enough to disturb the big momentum of these monsters.
