Chapter 235 Descent Of The Destroyer [Part 1]

While Thirteen's team was busy fighting against the Fire Dragon, Herakkon, the Barbarian King, Orc King, and Troll King, were also duking it out with the Magma Fiend, Antareus.

Unfortunately, the battle wasn't easy because the Magma Fiend's army didn't hesitate to swarm the three Kings, and use their bodies as meat shields to prevent them from getting near their intended target.

Also, Antareus had one disgusting ability, and that was the ability to split its body into two.

Both bodies were real, so even if one of them died, the Magma Fiend would continue to live.

Although it couldn't split its body consecutively, it could do this once every hour, giving the three Kings a hard time trying to land a killing blow on its body.

Only the Troll King, who could move anywhere thanks to the ability of his Spear, was able to close the distance.

But, he didn't dare to go too deep within the enemy's ranks.

Due to his surprise attack, he managed to seriously injure the Magma Fiend, but its minions were able to use swarm tactics in order to push the Troll King back, allowing the Magma Fiend to split itself.

The second body distanced itself to the very back of the monster legion, leaving the injured body behind.

As much as he wanted to repeat the same strategy,, the Troll King knew that this would not work a second time.

Once he was isolated and surrounded, the other two Kings wouldn't be able to save him in time, which would lead to his demise.

"We need a strategy," the Barbarian King said. "Any suggestions?"

"We stab then we kill," the Troll King replied. "But, this will not work. How about you, Orc? Any bright ideas?"

The Orc King, Velos, was not only a mighty warrior, but a great strategist as well. He scanned the surroundings, looking for a way to put down the Magma Fiend, who was hiding deep within enemy lines.

"There is only one way to win this battle," Velos said. "We need to kill these Magma Fiends at the same time."

"Yes, but how?" the Barbarian King, Iskandar asked. "Jorrym will use his spear to target the Magma Fiend at the rear. I know that this is a reckless move, which might endanger your life, but you are really the only one that can do it."

The Troll King didn't say anything and continued to listen to what the Orc King had to say.

"You will wait while I and Iskandar charge towards the injured body of the Magma Fiend. I will focus on killing the monster in front of me, while Iskandar will just focus on killing the injured Magma Fiend."

"You are smart, Jorrym, so I know that you have a Trump Card," Velos stated. "So, once you feel that the time is right, hit Antareus hard, and hit him fast. After that, escape as fast as you can. Feel free to leave me and Iskandar behind after you complete your mission."

The Orc King then locked his attention on the Magma Fiend, who was supposed to be their target.

"Any questions?" Velos asked.

"None," Iskandar replied.

"No more talk," Jorrym commented. "Let the killing begin!"

Arthas, General Stark, and the other Warriors, who were busy keeping the small fries at bay to allow their Kings to handle the General of the enemy's army, felt the sudden tension that hung in the air.

It was as if their Kings were about to do a do-or-die strategy, making all of them have solemn expressions on their faces.

"Kill!" General Stark roared after he finished killing a Giant Salamander. "Give our allies some breathing space! Take the injured at the rear! Those who can still fight, rally to me!"

The races of the Valbarra Archipelago were now fighting side by side, but even then, the enemies they were facing seemed endless.

The Ogres, who were the strongest among all the races, had acted as the vanguard, swatting away the weak monsters, who were jumping at them from every direction.

The Trolls, who were all around warriors, specializing in close and ranged combat, used their bows and arrows to launch a barrage behind enemy lines.

Arthas, who was fighting back to back with Netero, wanted to believe that there would be an end to this madness, but as the battle progressed, it was just getting harder, and harder to fight, and breathe, due to the fumes and flames, that were flaring up all over the battlefield.

That was when Arthas and Netero saw it.

The three Kings began to enact their plan, with the Orc King at the front, brandishing his Axe like a butcher, cutting through the enemy formation using brute strength.

Iskandar and Jorrym ran behind him, conserving their strength, and waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike.

"To the Kings!" Arthas, who somehow managed to understand what their King's were about to do, shouted. "Help them carve a path! Kill!"

General Stark, who heard Arthas shout, glanced in the direction where their Kings were and raised his sword.

"Breakthrough!" General Stark shouted. "Use force if you have to! Charge!"

"""Charge!"""

Now that they had a direction to go, the Ogres, who were at the front, became crazed juggernauts who bulldozed their way towards the Magma Fiend.

The Ogres at the front were Rank 5 and Rank 6 Alpha Monsters, so their strength was nothing to scoff at.

They were the pride of the Ogre Army and, with their momentum, the other armies followed behind them.

Their plan was simple. They would divide the enemy's army, preventing them from helping the Magma Fiend as their Kings went for the kill.

After twenty grueling minutes, the Orc King managed to close the gap between its target, and unleashed a slash that cleaved everything in front of him in half.

"Now!" Velos shouted.

Jorrym jumped on the Orc King's shoulder before jumping a second time.

As he shot up in the air, he locked gazes with the Magma Fiend at the very rear of the Monster Army and gritted his teeth.

The Troll King burned a bit of its life force to raise his Rank by one stage for a brief moment.

It was originally a Rank 7 Sovereign, but due to its desperate powerup, Jorrym stepped into the Rank 8 Sovereign Rank in a heartbeat.

With a roar filled with determination, the Troll King staked its life on the line for one decisive moment.

"Oblivion Rush!"

The Troll King spun in the air creating a tornado that was shrouded in lightning.

It shot towards the Magma Fiend at the back of the formation like a railgun, intending to destroy his enemy with one strike.

Iskandar, who had also jumped up in the air with his sword held high, unleashed his strongest attack that could split even an entire mountain range in half.

Similar to Jorrym's strategy, this was an all-out-or-nothing killing blow that would not give the Magma Fiend a chance to escape, or split its body apart.

"Bloody Descent!"

A bloody crescent blade erupted as Iskandar slashed down.

The two Kings had timed their attack perfectly, taking the Magma Fiend by surprise.

Both attacks split the Majin Cores in the Magma Fiend's body, ending its life, is what was supposed to happen.

However, things didn't end up the way the three kings wanted.

After Antareus' Majin Cores were destroyed, it created a powerful sucking force that sucked in everything within a two-

hundred meter radius around them.

The Barbarian King, Orc King, and Troll King, were caught by the suction power. Although they did everything in their power to escape, they were unable to break free from the force that had held them in place.

The two destroyed Majin Cores then flew towards each other, as if attempting to merge together one last time.

The Barbarian King, Orc King, Troll King, and the monsters that were also sucked up by the two destroyed cores could only watch helplessly as they collided with each other.

A moment later, a powerful explosion detonated, sending a shockwave that blew away everything within its immediate area of effect.

A fiery mushroom rose towards the sky as Antareus' self destruct ability activated, and decimated everything in its surroundings.

Arundel, who was watching the battle from afar, smirked, not caring for the loss of one of its Generals.

"You did well, Antareus," Arundel said as he took a step forward. "Leave everything else to me."

The blast had not only mortally wounded the three kings, it also decimated a quarter of the enemy's combined forces that were near the radius of the explosion.

Now that three of the five hindrances had been dealt with, it was time for Arundel to land the killing blow, and ensure that no one else would be able to threaten his life in the Valbarra Archipelago.
