Even if he was my enemy, I have to admit that he was indeed strong. He gained my respect by what he did so far, and it was time for me to gain his in return.
I shifted my attention away from the sky, not bothering with it anymore. If the sky even fell, I wouldn't budge an inch.
From this fight I learnt a valuable lesson. It was always bad to be on the passive side.
Trying to deal with the enemy plots and plays has cost me a lot so far. I was wrong. I shouldn't have been too much focused on what the enemy wanted to do, I shouldn't have busied my mind with what my enemy wanted to achieve.
I should have focused only and mainly over my own strength, on what I could do to win and crush my enemies. It was indeed my fault, and now I have started to correct it.
I kept taking out warriors without any regard for anything else. In addition to that, I also took out tons of stat crystals and left them scattered all over the ground.
Where did my strength lie? It was a tricky question. If I'd say it was in my own strength or my wealth, then it wouldn't be wrong.
But my real strength lay in my unique way of fighting, in my ability to turn any enemy no matter how strong he was into my ally.
I now realised why the enemy granted their people suits that were able to delay the speed of my techniques. The Hescos were wary of my technique, and they wanted me to think it would be pointless to use it in this battle.
My strongest fort lied in my techniques, taking these out meant I was fighting a losing battle. So after I took out tons of stat crystals, it was time for my technique to shine once more.
I pushed my technique to the limit this time. I was just using my first technique, but it was best suited to this kind of battle.
To push it to the max, I didn't just fill my chariot with bones. Instead I filled the entire ground with bones.
The ground was already filled with warriors. But the moment I brought my bones out, they filled every single gap it was out there between my warriors.
Everyone stopped moving in obvious confusion. They got all the right to feel so. But without explaining anything to anyone, my energy gushed out, touched all the bones out there, turning them all into a form of energy.
I didn't just summon low grade bones like green and blue grades. I summoned silver and gold graded ones, even dark realm monster bones that I truly cherished were summoned as well.
The bones were all turned into balls of light, sending out their stored up energy into my body like an unstoppable tsunami.
I felt an unbelievable amount of energy entering my body. It looked like my body was going to explode if I didn't hurry to do something. And what I did was simple.
I let the energy move into a direct path towards my left hand holding the technique. "One technique isn't enough!" I felt my body ache under such immense pressure.
All the absorbed energy from the bones had to go into my body first, turning into my personal power.
BEst
If it was like before, then the amount of energy absorbed would be enough to counter the scary expenditure rate. But right now I was going all out, doing something I never did before.
Absorbing bones from an area of miles was insane indeed! Even with the scary expenditure the Hescos placed over my shoulders, and even with my increasing speed of sending threads out and attacking more enemies, it still was far from enough.
If one technique couldn't do it, then two should be enough. Without further hesitation, I put my pillar away, used my right hand to form another technique circle in midair before controlling it using my blood.
The second technique kicked in and sent tons of threads at once. The right hand was slightly different than the left as it got that weird blue glove over it and had another dantian out there.
So when I used the technique with that arm and sent most of the energy I absorbed towards it, the threads coming out looked quite scary in number and shape.
The threads looked like dragons let loose, moving in a blink of an eye to reach the enemies before finally taking them down.
This happened too fast, and with it more threads appeared and started controlling more Hescos.
I was even shocked by such a scene. The left hand technique never showed such scary power and ability before.
My right hand threads only needed a few seconds to take control over Hescos. Before this, the threads of my left hand technique needed minutes to control a single Hescos.
This change ended up forming tons of new threads, coming out from the bodies of the controlled Hescos, adding more paths for my energy to be spent at.
Before this, I tried my best to match the terrifying expenditure speed. But now I was hoping the rate of depleting my power would keep growing unceasingly to match my absorption rate.
After struggling for an hour, I finally reached a balance. The threads coming out from the controlled Hescos bodies helped me in doing this.
I finally got time to check over the amount of Hescos I controlled. All this time I was very busy with matching the expenditure rate with my bone energy absorption speed, so I didn't get a chance to inspect my gains yet.
When I turned and looked, I couldn't help but open my mouth agape!
The Hescos I controlled so far got a simple order from me, to get away from the battle and wait. I thought after one hour at most I'd gain control of one million.
