BXBX NOVEL Chapter 566: Battle
Chapter 566: Battle
Hecate's presence was like a huge mountain pressing down on the Heaven Sword Army and its allied forces. The man was like the embodiment of a peerless warrior with an unrivaled aura unlike any other they had seen.
The only one whose aura didn't lose out to him was Jiu Shen. He stood with his back straight as he glared at the giant figure hovering in midair.
Hm?
Hecate was surprised when he turned his attention towards Jiu Shen. He couldn't sense this man's cultivation! This guy was the second person whose strength he couldn't discern. Hecate only felt this kind of sensation when he was facing the Lord.
'This man's strength... Who is this guy? To think that such a person remained hidden in this world until now...' Hecate's eyes glinted with an imperceptible glow. He had to eliminate this person!
"Warriors of the Hall of Might, the bastard Asmodeus has betrayed the Lord and is now colluding with the lowly creatures! Kill them all!" Hecate roared, causing the veins on his face to protrude exaggeratedly.
When the warriors of the Hall of Might heard the rallying call of their Hall Master, they raised their weapons and charged toward the army in the Desert Region.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
Their loud reverberating battle cries shook the world as they descended with great momentum!
Seeing this, Jian Wang glanced at the Jiu Shen. When he saw the latter nodding his head, Jian Wang raised his sword and pointed at the skies. "Kill them!"
AAAAAAA!!
Soon after, the Desert Region was filled with the sounds of weapons clashing and the roars of the soldiers. When the two sides collided, it was as if a volcano had suddenly erupted!
The sky was enveloped by the flashing spells. The sandy surface of the Desert Region exploded from time to time as soldiers from both sides fell.
The battle raged on, but the Celestials of both sides merely glared at each other warily.
Looking at the fierce fighting, the two sides seemed to be at a stalemate.
The overall battle prowess of the soldiers of the Hall of Might was a notch higher. However, the experts on the Heaven Sword Army's side were a lot stronger than their counterparts, thus, providing a necessary buffer to their much weaker force.
The Elves brought by Elena proved to be very useful as most of them skillfully released magical spells. With their naturally endowed talents in controlling true essence, most Elves become top experts when they reached adulthood.
Meanwhile, the treants were having a hard time adapting to the blazing heat of the Desert Region. Luckily for them, the spirit body of the Eonic Ragarwood Tree, Elyssier, was secretly supplementing them with her powers.
Elyssier was hidden underneath the sands. Her body was covered by an invisible force field that prevented the sand from coming in contact with her body. She chanted with her eyes closed as she summoned millions of seeds that grew into large towering trees in just several breaths.
The appearance of the trees helped the treants swiftly adjust to the temperature of the dessert. They were beings who loved the cold and refreshing air of the forest. Their powers and abilities were also much stronger in the areas with a large number of trees and plants.
The huge bodies of treants glowed with green light as they borrowed the vitality of the nearby trees. They then slapped their trunk-like hands and congealed long and thick vines that trapped their enemies.
"What the hell is this? Where did these vines come from?!"
"Annoying pieces of shit!"
Some soldiers of the Hall of Might failed to evade the incoming vines and immediately became immobilized. They screamed and rained curses when they realized their predicament.
"Now's our chance! Kill them quickly!"
"Die!"
The Heaven Sword Army's soldiers didn't let this opportunity slip by. They immediately pounced on the trapped enemies and swiftly cut off their heads.
Ahhhhhh!!
The poor soldiers who didn't die right away shrieked miserably. They saw their comrades beheaded in front of them and the scene scared them witless. They couldn't believe that their glorious army was actually being toyed by the soldiers of the lowly creatures they disdained.
Suddenly, thousands of burning arrows shot toward the vines, creating multiple trails of golden flames in the sky.
Suu!
Suuu!
Suu!
The flaming arrows burned the vines, freeing the soldiers of the Hall of Might.
When everyone turned their gazes to where the arrows came from, they saw the figure of a man with a long bow in his hands. His eyes gleamed with a cold glow.
"Regroup immediately! Don't let these lowly creatures defeat our army!" He shouted in a booming voice.
"Ho! To think that you would actually intervene in the fight between our soldiers. Troy, you've regressed!" A mocking voice soon entered the ears of the man holding a long bow. When he tilted his head, he saw Asmodeus looking at him with a contemptuous smile.
Asmodeus didn't come alone, the beautiful Elena hovered behind him. She had a seductive smile on her face and her beautiful pair of eyes glowed with a strange color.
"Troy, don't let her charm trick you! This woman is skilled in charm skills just like Hall Master Lilith!" A mage wearing long golden robes appeared beside Troy and disrupted the charm skill released by Elena.
This man was Sebastian, the Fire Mage of the Hall of Might.
Troy felt his back covered in a cold sweat. He almost fell into the trap of the girl behind Asmodeus. Thinking about this, his face turned incredibly hideous as he glared at her.
If it weren't for Hecate's stern order not to kill her, he would have already shot his arrows at this vixen!
Elena merely giggled when she sensed the coldness in his gaze. "Eh? So scary!"
Sebastian held him back when he noticed the agitated look of Troy. "Don't let her provoke you. You must remember the command of Hall Master Hecate."
Troy calmed himself when he heard the words of Sebastian.
