Chapter 415: End goal
"It's the Voidwalker!"
"Hold the line! Hold the line!"
"Push them back!"
Cries and roars echoed through the skies as I emerged above another battlefield. Most of those present recognized me almost immediately, and triumphant cheers followed right after.
My body constantly teleported as I unleashed my Dragon breath on the horde of Shades, Gods, and even Dragons. It was a surreal sight, one that I would have never imagined before.
Shades fighting alongside Dragons, how absurd.
I was already close to the main world, and the war was raging across every plane. Everything was burning, planets had collapsed, and Gods, Dragons, and Shades alike fell by the dozen.
No matter how much I wished to rush back, it was hard to ignore the fights raging before me. To make things worse, some of the high-ranking Shades, Dragons, and even Deities had some way or another of holding back my teleportation attacks.
It was making it harder for me to take care of all of them at once. And so, I was forced to engage directly. My body constantly flashed across the skies and the land as I bit, tore, and killed anyone who stood in my way.
I avoided an attack from a Deity as I flew overhead, only to get knocked to the ground by a massive silver Dragon.Dust rose as the Dragon sent enormous sharp silver pillars aimed at my head. I was about to teleport away when the Deity that had launched her earlier sneak attack on me jumped on my back with a crazed expression.
Faced with the silver Dragon's attack, I momentarily ignored the Deity that was stabbing her sword into my back and unleashing her divinity, and instead teleported away.
I didn't cover her with my cosmic mana, so her teleportation alongside me was not safe, to say the least. I reappeared behind the Silver Dragon, my claws launching for the back of its neck.
The Deity that was latched onto my back was no longer there, only her hands grasping the sword still stuck in my back were left.
The Silver Dragon tried to fight back, but I pierced its back with my lower claws and used my tail to prevent it from moving before my jaw clasped around its neck, decapitating its head and ending its life.
The blood tasted disgusting to me, but I had no time to think about anything as a swarm of Shades rushed toward me. A wave of my cosmic mana was enough to make them disappear, but more soon followed.
A particular monster in the midst of the swarm had a dark fog that swirled ominously around them. Seeing that, a frown made its way across my face.
The fog was interfering with teleportation. I could teleport myself, but not them.
"Ah, this is annoying," I cursed.
"Follow the Voidwalker!" More cries echoed around me as a group of Gods suddenly gathered around me, forming a small army with me at the center.
"We'll take care of the small fry and clear the way for you!" said a glowing God. His features were hard to make out due to the blinding light surrounding his body, but I still nodded nonetheless.
Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
With that, the squad of Gods, led by the brightly shining one, rushed forward with a renewed sense of purpose. They carved their way through the enemies with efficiency, showing no mercy to whoever stood in their way.
The Shades fell by the dozen, and an occasional God and Dragon died as well. I wasn't idle; instead, I teleported myself directly toward my opponent. The being had no eyes; instead, his dark horns extended from his forehead and curled backward. He had two long limbs that ended with sharp claws, while his lower half was hidden behind the fog.
I didn't hesitate; the second I reappeared behind the beast, he instantly turned his head toward me. His lack of features except for his mouth was eerie, but I had no time to think of such a thing.
I avoided the blast of red energy that the being launched at me and watched as the swarm of Shades behind disintegrated under it before I held the monster by his horns and used my back limbs to push him back.
I tried to use my cosmic mana, but the dark fog seemed to read my intention, constantly interfering with me and protecting its master. I could teleport myself away, but that wouldn't do much good in the current situation.
We both fell to the ground, causing it to shake, and I used my teeth to aim for the monster's neck. His scales were harder than I expected, and I wasn't able to do much damage.
I was then pushed back and sent crashing to the ground, but my right claw was still firmly grasping the monster's horn. It roared and used its fog-coated claw to slash at me.
I expertly avoided his strikes and used its horn to keep his head pointed downwards. Once the monster grew frustrated, another roar escaped his mouth, and I could see the red energy beam forming around his open maw.
Not wasting any more time, I used all my strength to push the bastard on his back, and my claws to hold his head steady as I unleashed my Dragon breath right at its open mouth and still forming energy beam.
The world instantly went white, and I hastily teleported away to watch my handiwork. The monster exploded, and the fog disappeared alongside it. A small cosmic shield materialized before me to protect me from the small debris and attacks.
"Well, that's one bastard down," I said under my breath as I scanned the battlefield.
The group of Deities was swiftly taking care of the remains of the Shade swarm while chanting my name.
"Voidwalker!"
"Hail the Voidwalker!"
Such loud cries were easy to make out, even amidst the chaos of the battlefield, and I would be lying if I said it didn't make me feel good. Still, I couldn't afford to dwell on my feelings of satisfaction; there was still a battle to be won.
The current world was already a dead one in my eyes. The damage it received was extensive. Sure, it was still holding on, albeit barely, but the native mortals had already gone extinct, and the plane was hell on earth.
Seeing all that, I was once again pushed into thinking about just what it was that we were fighting for. Amidst all the deaths, destruction, and chaos, I had lost sight of the end goal.
