Chapter 467 Besieged on all sides?
TIME LEFT BEFORE THE EMPEROR ARRIVES: 11 MINUTES
TIME LEFT BEFORE THE POSSESSION FINISHES: 19 MINUTES
What followed that conversation was another series of Ray unleashing his attacks, and Alex doing this best to either avoid or redirect them.
To anyone that has the capability to watch this battle, they might think that Alex has the upperh and, as he was able to avoid and redirect all of Ray’s attacks.
However, Alex knew that what he was doing was nothing but easy, especially with the current condition of the body that he is controlling now.
"I only have 1/5th of the Conqueror’s Aura left... Most of it has been used already for law manipulation..." Alex declared mentally. "With the way things are going now, it will only take 2 minutes before my Conqueror’s Aura runs out!"
"What? 2 minutes? Bloody hell, why did you just say that now?" Golden Alex complainingly said as another bomb whizzed by them. "You f**king know what that means, right?"
"Yes, I know. We only have at most 2 minutes to continue dodging this Supreme Puppet. After that, we will be on our own." Alex said as he released another portion of his power on the ground.
This changed the air resistance and drag around Alex, making the incoming bomb veer of its track.
"Boom!"
"That means that we must get help within two minutes. If that does not happen then we will be in a worse situation." Alex said as he watched the obliteration made by all of Ray’s attacks. "And that’s not the only thing that we have to worry about...."
***********************
After saying these words, Alex placed a small portion of his attention on Blue Alex, who was currently standing beside Alina.
"Swish swish swish!"
Blue Alex and Alina, along with Queen Mother, Delia and her two Companions, were unleashing all of their powerful attacks against their enemies.
There was no hint of holding back from any of these people, making the whole battle on that area appear more ferocious compared to Alex’s situation.
"Tram tram tram!"
General Glaivewood and Sir Xote, who were both injured from the fight against Delia earlier, were back fighting again. They seemed to have undergone some kind of process that healed them greatly, allowing them to be back to their fighting form.
"Boom boom boom!" These two generals certainly did not hold back as they released their own reckless attacks on Alina’s team too. They seem to be even disregarding their lives at this point, as if victory in this battle is more important than anything else.
Present in this battle too were the martial artist Vera and the assassin Noelle, both who were considered to be Ray’s Companions. Just like the generals, they were also focused on clashing against Alina’s team, with Sierra’s soul as their main target.
Both of their advanced fighting prowess were enough to give pressure on Alina’s team, as Noelle’s peerless assassination skills, along with Vera’s godly martial arts, made it hard for Alina and the others to move effortlessly. One wrong move might lead to a deadly attack from Vera and Noelle, something that they cannot afford to happen.
"!(\\u0026$(*@\\u0026(*)"
If it was only these four who were attacking, Alina and the others will only have a slightly hard time defending Sierra. But obviously that was not the case here, as there were more enemies swooping in to the battle.
"Hong long long~"
Right above Alina and her teammates were two more enemies that are also intent on disrupting the possession.
Unlike the generals or Vera’s team which Alex was already familiar with, these two enemies were people who Alex did not recognize at first sight.
However, a few seconds of intense scrutiny made him realize who these two people were.
"F**k! The remaining two Supreme Puppets are already here? How the hell did they come here so fast? And why are they different from the ones that I know?" Alex complained to himself inwardly as he observed the golden robes worn by these two people.
These golden robes were reminiscent of the clothes worn by Emperor Litch before, and it made these two appear more refined and cultured compared to others.
Of course calling them refined is only a facet of what can be used to describe them, as their abilities speaks more of their identity and their prestige.
"Shua..." One of the Supreme Puppets appeared to be a voluptuous woman in her mid-thirties. Her face was wrapped with a thick gauze of metal, making her face a mystery to the observers.
Behind her, multiple portals engraved with esoteric spells could be seen, with each portal teeming with the sensation of power and life. There were no difference between these portals at all, with each one of them having the exact same size and same energy signature.
However, what sets them apart from each other were the things that happened after their appearance.
"Hong hong hong~"
Every now and often, countless unique creatures could be seen shooting out of the portal, with each one being unsure on what was happening. Most of them quickly lashed out on the sudden changes around them, while the others just lay down on the ground waiting for their end.
It was only when the Female Supreme Puppet approached them that these beings begin to calm down.
"..."
Once they have been calmed down, these ’summoned’ being will begin to fight for the female Supreme Puppet, with each one of them putting their lives on the line just for her. They seem to have no qualms with what they were doing, making them look like extremely loyal soldiers that are ready to die for their king.
These beings did not back down in face of the Monster Army and Queen Mother herself, which added more chaos on the already blistering battle.
The second Supreme Puppet were not acting idle too, as he was continuously firing multiple deadly projectiles towards Alina and the others.
Each one of these projectiles were extremely lethal on their own, which was made obvious by the aura of destruction accompanying each projectiles
Even Blue Alex’s shield could barely hold up against these projectiles, and it was only when Alina assisted him that these attacks could be stopped.
These projectiles were solely produced from the silver gun held by this Supreme Puppet, something that Blue Alex had noticed since earlier.
Numerous fine-looking parts were attached to this gun, with each part contributing something to the over-all performance of the gun. The way that these parts worked to make the gun release its power was so impressive, that even Alex was awed by it.
Of course, awe was only a small part of Alex’s feelings right now...
"Tsk, that female Supreme Puppet is a Sixth Stage Chaos Summoner, while the other one is a fairly powerful Technomage. They are clearly different from the Supreme Puppets that Emperor Litch usually have, and yet they emanate the same aura as Ray. Does that mean that Emperor Litch has replaced his Supreme Puppets already? Or did his capacity to control Supreme Puppets increase? If it’s the latter that happened, then it will not be good for us..." Alex thought to himself as he observed the struggles that his allies had against the enemies.
Neither sides could be seen as the winner, although little by little, Blue Alex and the others were being pushed by back the enemies.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Both the vital parts of my plan are being besieged by powerful enemies already, and Emperor Litch is not yet coming... This, this is not a good sign for what will happen later..."Alex thought grimly as he realized the situation that he was in.
Even when Sierra was already about to succeed on her possession, and even when the Cosmic Guards were helping him out now, the forces that Emperor Litch had pitted against Alex were still too much for him to face.
In fact, the best that Alex and his allies can do now was to keep the whole situation on a standstill, something that is impossible to sustain for long.
And to make matters worse, Emperor Litch himself has not yet arrived. This makes the current battle feel like just a prelude on the incoming main event, an event that was only a few minutes away from its start.
There is no doubt that Emperor Litch’s arrival will tip the scales heavily on the enemies’ favor, so much so that it could spell an instant defeat for Alex.
"Hooh... that damned Emperor really prepared a lot of measures against me. He must be desperate to kill me and obtain his power back..." Alex thought as a wry smile appeared on his face. "Tsk, I wonder how long it took him to place all of his pawns here..."
By this point, only 1/10th of his Conqueror’s Aura remained, which was only enough to last him for one more minute.
This clearly spells nothing but danger for Alex, and Ray seemed to have noticed it.
"This is already futile, Alex. Just surrender, and I will give you a painless death." Ray said in a soothing tone. "If you still continue your pointless struggle, you will only end up experiencing great torment from the Emperor himself. Oh, and it’s not only you who will suffer. Those women that are accompanying you? Heh, the Emperor will turn them into his s*x toys! Of course that’s under the premise that he will not torture them to death first..."
Even if Ray said these words in a placating manner, the way that he said it was obviously intended to rile Alex up.
"Hehe, if you surrender now, I can also kill your allies painlessly. That way, they will be saved from a life of being Emperor Litch’s glory hole." Ray continued to say on the suddenly silent Alex. "So what say you? Did I say enough to convince you to surrender?"
"I get it, Ray. I know that Emperor B*tch will do a lot of horrible stuff to me. But do you think that is enough to make me surrender?" Even when he was slightly affected by what Ray said, Alex appeared to still be holding his ground, as his reply was still the same as before.
"Ha? So you will still won’t surrender? You traitor, you should kno-"
"I will still not surrender to you, you little t**d! If you want me to surrender, then you better do it with your bombs!" A mocking smile suddenly appeared on Alex’s face at this point, as if he suddenly found something hilarious.
"You-"
"Wait... don’t tell me that the reason why you are asking me to surrender is because you can’t kill me with your bombs? Hahahahahaha! If that’s the case, then you really are just a weak-ass b**ch!" Alex howled in laughter as he continued to dodge more of Ray’s frenzied attacks. "Hahahahaha! You are so proud of your torture talk, and yet you still can’t kill me in a battle? Hah, what an embarrassing opponent! If you are only like this, then surrendering to you will be the last thing that I will do! Why would I surrender to you, when you can’t even catch me? Heh, only an idiot will do that!"
"You!"
