Chapter 1220 A Scary Foe

This was a position I hated. I always thought that no matter who my enemy was, I'd always be able to turn the tables.

I took myself as a single man army, a person able to flip the ground and crush the sky with a move of a hand. But this battle opened my eyes wide over how naive I really was.

Even if we were all standing on an equal ground thanks to the low quest of the apocalypse we were currently at, it was still scary going against the number one race in the entire universe.

I considered myself a prodigy, but right now I realised I wasn't the only prodigy out there in the universe. These Hescos must be led by someone frightening, no lesser than me without doubt.

Just trying to defend against that scary fiend out there took me hours! And even after the passage of ten hours, the entire situation didn't look that great to me.

The shields were barely resisting the incoming attacks of that fiend. Not to mention the battle that kept raging on for many hours already between my forces and these Hescos.

Even with my warriors, the Hescos seemed to bring more forces as well. We both looked like two eternal beings, fighting a battle where no one was able to kill the other.

Two rich folks were contending on who had more wealth than the other. It was a scary and crazy way to fight, and I wasn't getting the upper hand even after all these hours.

I took such a way of fighting as a guaranteed win for me. No matter who my enemy was, he or she couldn't contend with my deep pockets no matter how hard they tried.

Of course I knew part of this was thanks to the fact I was strangled and nullified from this fight. If I was the one fighting them without the trouble of the shields, things would have been much different by now.

I hoped that after all these hours, I'd be able to form enough shields as a buffer. Then I'd find a chance to join the fight.

But even after ten hours, nothing much changed in the status of the shields. For a reason, I felt like whatever was hitting the shields was doing this on purpose.

BEst

There was some sort of unspoken balance between my shields and that fiend. No matter how I tried, I always failed to score an advantage against it.

And if that fiend had such immense and inexhaustible power, then why didn't it try to smash my shields into nothing? I got this weird feeling that this fiend was holding back on purpose, not trying this hard to take down my shields.

It looked like whoever was leading the Hescos right now wasn't trying to smash the shields. His main goal was to move me aside from this battle, forcing me to just be a watcher from the side.

"Screw it then," as I grew more suspicious about that, and seeing how futile my forces were currently doing, I decided to risk it all.

I could always form shields anytime I wanted. And it wasn't like I didn't have a way to deal with whatever lied on the other side of my shields.

The moment I decided that, I instantly stopped what I was doing.

[Be aware, the shields may get destroyed soon] I first sent this warning message over to Sara. This girl was still recklessly fighting all over the place, not stopping at a single point for more than an hour before jumping over another battlefield.

She looked crazy, but she was doing just great in stopping the Hescos at many layers already.

Her armies were the ones taking the toll of this for sure. They had to follow up with her, or try their best to do so. They jumped around like monkeys, moving from one layer to another, ending up scattering most of their forces amidst many layers.

But as she was taking such a risk all over the place, I had to warn her about what was going to happen.

[Let them come, I'm tired of fighting these pussies!]

Pussies? I looked over and couldn't see any weaklings amidst the Hescos.

[What do you mean? Aren't they elites?] I was feeling puzzled by this.

[Elites? No way! They are all chickens! At first there were elites, but then when the doors of these annoying forts opened, all who came out were just weaklings]

I was surprised by what she just said. [If that's true, then why didn't you crush them hours ago? Why didn't we take out a single layer yet?] her words didn't make any sense to me.

If that was the case, then it'd be easy for my forces to claim these layers a long time ago.

[You don't get it, they are weak but they are endless! No matter how many of them we killed, much more will just pop up]

I looked at her words before turning around and tried to focus over the ongoing fights. I selected a layer and inspected things there.

"That's true then…" I was shocked to see how easily these Hescos got killed in the hands of my forces. But just as Sara said, the moment many of these Hescos fell, much more appeared from the opened doors of the underground forts.

It seemed like an endless cycle, one which my forces couldn't break. Realising this made me look high up to the sky.

"So… That's why you tried your best to keep me away from this battle?" I muttered in a deep tone. Dealing with that leader proved to be troublesome again.

He was this close to tricking me before. But this time I had to admit, he got me just right in the place he wanted me to be at without me realising anything wrong.

Scary! Such a foe was indeed formidable and scary.

If there was a single person here capable of ruining such a scheme then it'd be indeed me.

That dude seemed to know his stuff very well, even knowing the weakness of his plot and the people who were able to exploit such weakness to the max.
