Yet I never thought to lower the speed of my chariot or stop it. I finally managed to bypass that damn shield, and nothing would stand against me to get into that portal.
"Thundering Might!" and at this critical moment, I took out my pillar and released my shield.
If it was a battle between shields, then I'd use another shield to help as well.
But just using one shield wasn't enough! As I summoned my pillar's shield, the shield started to expand and clash with the enemy's red shield.
The two shields entered into a fierce battle while mine managed to push the enemy's for a few metres away before thick cracks started to appear next.
I refrained from using the brutal offensive strike of my shield, or else I'd risk damaging the entire portal itself. And that would be bad.
And so I simply supported that shield with others. And just as the shields stabilised after a few long minutes of struggle, my chariot resumed its march again without much resistance.
The chariot could only move inside the area secured by my shields, and that meant it could travel for a few metres each second. As the chariot moved, I also moved, and my pillar's shields also moved as well.
This created more pressure over my shields, and thus far I never stopped creating more shields. With each passing second, I could hear the cracking sounds of shields getting crushed under the brutal might of the enemy's.
This kept going on like this for an entire hour! A distance that was supposed to be crossed in a minute or so was crossed in one hour! That was pretty much insane.
Yet the moment my chariot finally broke through the limitation of that fierce shield, I finally was able to feel the chariot flying at its normal speed.
And the next instant, my suppressed shields got all free, expanding fiercely to cover an area of hundreds of metres.
I knew if not for the limitations of the portal itself, my shields would expand to cover up a huge distance.
"Get ready, we are going to an enemy territory," and once my chariot became freed, I shouted while not stopping summoning more shields for even one second.
The enemy proved to use something able to threaten my shields and limit their actions. That meant they would have other hidden weapons ready for me at the other side of this portal.
It was better to be safe than sorry. And I didn't count on creating more shields after arriving there. If the portal itself didn't limit me from summoning more shields, then why wouldn't I use this little time of rest to prepare further for what was coming ahead?
The trip didn't last more than five minutes. And during which I created hundreds or more of my shields.
Then the world turned all bright all of sudden, and I could hear a loud ruckus without being able to see anything.
Loud bangs were heard, and fierce explosions erupted, adding more brightness to the world around.
"Fine! You are impatient to let me have a look at least... Tsk!"
As it became impossible to see amidst all these fierce explosions, I instantly dropped the idea of scouting the world I arrived at.
The enemy came quite prepared for my arrival as I expected. And my shields proved to be useful to stop their trap.
But the next moment, I released all the stored energy inside my shields. The energy stored from the attacks from that fierce shield earlier was released alongside the newly stacked attacks coming from the outside.
At the same time, I summoned tons of bones and started absorbing their energy and gushing them into the shields to augment the attack even further.
If the enemy used the same shield technology to protect their forces then this kind of attack wasn't going to be enough to crush them.
I wasn't just able to release the stored up energy inside the shields, but also was able to add my own power to the pillar and thus to the shields as well.
Much more blinding light appeared, making me unable to keep my eyes open anymore. I wanted to get a glimpse first over how this world looked like and what they prepared for me here.
But as they started attacking the instant I appeared here, it forced me to use my attack fast as well.
I didn't know if my shields expanded to their normal size or not. But at such moments, I had to act more decisive.
The bones I took out weren't enough to make me feel the pressure of the absorbed energy. Something told me this kind of attack wasn't going to work against the enemy.
So I felt the need to use more bones. However the moment I released bones outside my chariot, I felt like many of these bones vanished without a trace when they left the chariot.
I acted fast and absorbed the remaining bones with my energy. But in the little gap between releasing my bones and starting to absorb them, I felt like I lost more than half of my bones.
It was weird. But as I couldn't see anything around, I decided to work with the bones I got. Until I'd clear the entire hostile forces around and clear the world from such blinding explosions, I'd not be able to see what exactly caused such a bizarre phenomenon.
*Boom!*
And just in the middle of all this, something out of my expectations happened!
My shields were strong and sturdy enough to sustain all the incoming attacks. They worked to stop any incoming enemy from trespassing through them and reaching inside.
As for those inside the shield, those entrapped enemies got nothing to do against my chariot's shield. However at this moment, a weird sound erupted as something clashed against my chariot, something big, and it wasn't some sort of attack.
"Hye! I know you are inside your chariot and can hear me! Help me out or else I'll f*cking die here!"
