Chapter 154

As if several meteorites joined together to cause a major explosion, the earth shuddered horribly and a shockwave large enough to send Alex flying spread everywhere.

There were no flashes of light and everything seemed to stop except the rumbling of the earth which got louder and louder as if several thunderstorms occurred and fierce lightning struck the ground splitting it open.

The shockwave spread so far and wide that all the corpses and the soldiers were instantly crushed and trees that were kilometres away were instantly crushed into dust.

Within a radius of two kilometres away, everyone screamed horribly when a shockwave was formed by Alex’s attack which looked like wind blades slashing at them.

Everyone who was hit by the shockwave was whacked and knocked out instantly with shattered bones all over their body.

But this was not the end of it. After the shockwaves came a wave of flames spreading everywhere fiercely.

Longard along with the remaining forces who have moved back by several miles felt the earth rumble and tremble which shook their stance.

They looked at the huge mushroom-shaped cloud of dust rising in the air with a fearful expression.

BANG!BANG!BANG!

The rocks and soil were smashed into pieces of the debris and formed a huge crater of mass destruction which will turn out to be a grave for thousands of soldiers.

All the soldiers inside the two kilometres of radius burst into blood mist while the remaining ones who were able to stay alive even with missing limbs weren’t able to survive the sea of flames that appeared out of nowhere.

The flame seemed to inflict a wound on their soul which gave them intolerable pain which wasn’t something a person could endure without a strong will.

The place had been thoroughly destroyed by Alex’s previous attack leaving a large imprint on the ground.

Alex’s body crashed onto the ground at the centre of the crater.

The previous battlefield filled with soldiers had suddenly turned into a desolate place with a large number of dark clouds hovering around everywhere emitted by the sea of crimson flames.

Roars of pain, deathly groans as well as wailing echoed throughout the place.

Standing amid flames, Alex clenched his fist closely as he closed his eyes while listening to the lamentation of the people.

He slaughters many and if he keeps going on there will be no one around this place.

He raised his head to see the soldiers of opposing forces’ lingering around with grief and panic-stricken expression.

Everyone who noticed Alex’s gaze bowed those heads and begged down for mercy.

Alex’s heart, which had been on fire after seeing the warriors of Amidon using children to win the battle, softened a little.

He didn’t make things difficult for them.

Moreover, he had to finish things quickly before the effect of the forbidden spell wore out.

He thought of absorbing more essence but taking too much isn’t good for him and may cause irrecoverable damage to him.

If not for the situation, he wouldn’t use such means and with the previous absorption, he had reached the peak of Epic rank and his current strength is enough to take the enemies down.

After asking Longard to take care of the things here, Alex’s figure hovered and he flew off towards Amidon.

……..

Most of the forces had been defeated on the battlefield while the remaining ones were stationed at the capital.

So, most of the territories had less number of soldiers and were short of hands.

And during that time, Nevan had dealt such a critical blow.

They marched as fast as lightning tearing everything that stood before them.

Before the might of a huge number of soldiers, most of the region fell directly.

The army didn’t cause any damage to the common masses and didn’t disturb their life, nor did they kill the enemies brutally.

Anyone who surrendered was dealt with peacefully.

They have only one goal in their sight, to encircle the capital and get their Queen back.

Even though they were travelling as fast as possible, with their current speed they would take at least two days to reach there.

Moreover, since they have to deal with many obstructions, their speed will be slowed down by a margin on reaching the capital.

While they would be tired and exhausted , the Capital would surely have the soldiers guarding it who might take this chance to finish them off.

Alex, who used the flight spell to a transverse great distance, showed his forces marching forward and landed before them.

“We cannot carry on like this.”

“If we moved forward like this, I am sure we are just putting our foot in an enemy trap,” Alex spoke while looking at the worn-out soldier of his.

“Your Majesty, we should first solidify our control of the areas we have seized,” Mordek advised.

“Did you forget that we are not here for territories?” Alex muttered while pondering carefully.

If he wasn’t a Demonic State he might have used a healing spell and Goddess Buffs to replenish their strengths.

But since he can’t, he has to think of other ways to finish it. Before leaving he had absorbed the life essence of the three Pseudo Epic ranks which amplified his power but it decreased his time limit.

And on top of that, the pain was worsening every minute.

“Mordek, don’t halt the match. Move with your speed.”

“Meanwhile, Riya and Christina will follow me to the capital,” Alex suggested.

“My Lord, are we three going to fight against their remaining forces.”Riya asked.

“Though we are still strong, we shouldn’t get ahead of ourselves.” Riya tried to persuade Alex.

“Riya is right Alex. We don’t have the strength to topple the Capital alone.”Christina added.

“Don’t worry. I am alone enough for them.” Alex muttered and wrapped his arm across Riya and Christina.

Riya and Christina were startled by Alex’s stubbornness.

“I don’t have much time. I have used a forbidden technique to increase my strength. Once it works out, I will be passed out due to repercussions.”

“So, before passing out I want to finish things off.” Alex spoke which frightened both Riya and Christina and they started to panic thinking about Alex’s situation.

“Mordek, take care of things here.” Alex figured while his figure shot towards the sky like a comet.
