BUILDING MY OWN EMPIRE - My Journey from Nothing to Overwhelming Power-Chapter 39 – A Very Powerful Monster is Coming
.
BOOM .. BOOM .. BOOM
The waves of insects collided harshly..
And everyone’s mouths parted with a smile..
Hundreds of insects fell consecutively. And they became thousands in just moments..
The great fourth wave.. only a thousand insects or less remained in it.. As for the secondary waves, they all fell under the weight of the harsh collision..
"It’s my time!" Lois shouted, then headed toward the front of the mother wave, which now consisted of only a thousand insects..
Beside Lois.. Suman ran as well, followed by the ten warriors..
"Wait, Lois.." Monali said as she moved toward the wave as well.. then she added
"Keep your powerful strike.. with all of us present, we can bring down the wave without sacrificing more Accumulation"
"Alright.." Lois answered and prepared to deliver a normal strike instead.. before someone asked to stop..
A fighter with yellow hair, his face glowing with enthusiasm, and behind him 9 other fighters with the same formidable spirit..
"My lady.. I ask you to allow me and the rest to eliminate the wave"
"I have been watching you.. you haven’t rested at all.. why hasn’t your accumulation decreased?" Monali asked.. while Logan smiled and answered..
"Because I do not lose Accumulation when my strikes are critical; instead, my accumulation increases"
The eyes of Monali, Lois, and Suman narrowed in surprise.. the existence of such a power would make the fight much easier.. but Monali asked again..
"If your ability is this good, then it is excellent. But what about the others? They possess the same power as they constantly lose Accumulation without resting as well"
"Indeed.. how is that?" Suman asked
"My lady.. my ability allows for the consecutive increase of my accumulation.. but.. what do you think happens when my accumulation reaches its highest points? Where do those points I gain go?"
"Where?"
"That is the answer to your question about the rest haha.. Now, if you would excuse us.. we have a feast to hunt" Logan bowed his head and launched..
"They have become very arrogant after the first battle" Lois muttered.. while Monali’s eyes turned toward the tower.. and she moved toward it..
"Lois, Suman, follow me"
"There isn’t much left, come on Logan.. move faster" shouted one of the fighters carrying a scythe..
"This is my maximum speed! Do you think I’m one of the leaders, you fool?" Logan shouted and quickly brought
down a number of insects..
After a while.. the last of the insects were cleared, and Logan stood atop a high stone and shouted..
"Who is the strongest Leader’s army now!"
"Hahaha" Lois laughed from above.
"This brat thinks he achieved something just by eliminating one wave" one of the Rock soldiers shouted angrily.. while the Rock Fighter Leader laughed on the side..
and said
"They are interesting boys.. they will have a great future"
Atop the tower.. Monali’s eyes turned toward the sides..
silence hung over the forest
"Less than two hours until sunrise.. Is there another wave?" she muttered..
"Even if there is one.. will we be able to face it? Its number must be at least 15 thousand.."
"I believe that we.. are capable of facing another wave"
Monali’s lips parted with a smile then she went back to thinking about Ali..
"If you are okay.. I swear I will really hit you.. where are you?"
"Is everything over..?" Lois asked
No one answered..
Suddenly..
"My lady!!" Suman muttered anxiously..
"What.. " Monali could hardly finish her sentence until...
Zzzzzzz .. Zzzzzzz .. Zzzzzzz
The buzzing noise was present again.. and in a way even louder than before..
"It’s another wave.. but from which direction?" Monali muttered..
"It’s from the back.. "
"From the right"
Suman and Lois shouted at the same time..
"What!"
"From the left"
"From the front"
"Dammit!"
In the moment of ecstasy from bringing down the fourth wave.. the fifth wave arrived in a different way..
It emerged from four different directions.. in large numbers..
"Four waves all at once.. are you kidding me?" Suman shouted..
Quick steps headed toward the tower rapidly.. Jo and the Rock soldier leader jumped at the same time.. and their eyes fell upon the dark truth..
"From four directions?" Jo shouted..
Zzzzzzz .. Zzzzzzz .. Zzzzzzz
In a moment..
The four waves began to emerge consecutively from the shadow of the forest and fell under the light of the full moon..
"No time now.. let each one head to a wave.. this must be the final attack.. we must prevent them from reaching no matter what happens" Suman said..
"Alright, I’ll go to the back" Lois answered.
"I’ll go to the right side" Jo said
"We can’t move quickly, so it will be good if we stay on the right side" the Rock soldier leader said..
Each of them prepared to jump..
"Don’t move.." Monali said angrily.. then she continued..
"You are moving on your own accord. Shut up and let me think for moments" She sighed then said.
"Calm down and be true leaders"
At that moment.. everyone fell silent.. and a sudden calmness settled over them under the crawl of the four waves..
For several minutes everyone stood on edge.. while Monali moved right and left in silence..
After a while...
She stopped...
"Suman, tell the villagers to go to the front and bring down what they can from the front wave. And let them return again to the center"
"Understood" Suman answered without argument and jumped toward the villagers..
"Rock Leader.. you still possess an attack ability, don’t you? You used that defense ability.. and of course you possess an attack ability.. since you also possess the ability to control soldiers as happened previously.." Monali said..
"She figured it out... what a girl" the Rock soldier leader whispered within himself before saying
"Yes"
"Good.. then head toward the front wave and make use of the villagers.. you have the authority to change their positioning.. but don’t forget that they only have 10 minutes of strikes as soon as the first arrow is launched"
"As the Princess commands" the Rock soldier leader answered and jumped forward next..
"Lois.. go with Jo to the wave on the right.. and bring it down.. bring it down before the others"
"Understood" the two answered and jumped toward the side..
At that moment.. Suman had returned..
"Suman, listen.. take the ten soldiers and go to the left.."
"Understood" he answered and jumped..
In an instant.. the confrontations broke out violently in all three directions..
Minutes passed consecutively.. and the screams of enthusiasm and strikes continued to fall heavily in the final hour before dawn appeared..
On the right side, there were two shadows standing heavily in the middle of thousands of insects.. moving as lightning moves in the sky and echoing harshly as thunder echoes in the ears..
The relationship between Lois and Jo was never normal.. they were the two leaders with the most problems between them.. they never exchanged kind words.. not even unkind ones..
But ...
In the middle of those large insect crowds.. the two were balancing their strikes together as if they were lovers dancing under the rain..
On the left side.. Logan and his comrades were shouting enthusiastically with all possible energy.. their trump card was working with all its possible power.. despite that..
It was an individual movement.. relying on the performance of one person who possessed certain limits.. Logan was a good fighter.. but he was just a new fighter whose level had not evolved or been promoted..
At that moment, the weakness of Logan’s ability began to appear consecutively.. he was not a fast fighter although he was accurate in his strikes.. and before more than five thousand insects..
Speed was the most important thing in his ability..
The first to notice that problem were his friends.. every time he hit an insect, one of his comrades would pounce on it and snatch it for the ability to succeed..
But ..
Every time he eliminated an insect.. he headed for another.. on the second or third time.. the person who had eliminated the first insect was already free to snatch a second insect.. and with 9 fighters present..
The matter would be as if there were 9 people doing a job that two or three of them could do comfortably..
This makes 6 people, most likely.. without work in the face of thousands of insects..
Why don’t those 6 head to eliminate the insects themselves and leave the others to help Logan?
Accumulation of power is what prevents that..
The special strength of the soldiers would never be enough to eliminate that number without losing their accumulation in the middle of the attempt.. that’s why they were always waiting behind Logan’s ability..
From the side.. Suman’s eyes narrowed.. he quickly discovered what was happening..
Suddenly.. he cancelled the summoning of his wolves.. and raised his dual spear..
Suddenly.. drops of blood began to emerge consecutively from the ground.. and form to become a single female wolf..
The eyes of the other fighters were watching him in surprise..
"Why did he cancel five and summon one of the same size and everything else?" one of the fighters asked..
But Suman knew the thing that no one else knew..
"Hey, blonde boy.. " Suman shouted toward Logan and ordered him to come..
"Mount the female wolf.. as soon as you do, there will be a mental connection between you.. make her launch at our maximum speed parallel to the wave.. then hunt the insects with greater speed"
"Really.. but I’ve never mounted a wolf before" Logan answered in surprise.. while he jumped atop her before Suman’s gaze..
Suddenly.. Logan felt as if there was a connection of some kind between him and the female wolf.. directly he said inside his mind
"Hello girl.. launch alongside the wave.. but let’s start slowly and speed up consecutively so I can get used to it"
As soon as he gave his order.. the female wolf launched with slow steps then began to increase.. then Suman looked toward the 9 fighters
"Are you waiting for an invitation of some kind? Go and hunt behind him!"
After minutes.. the nine fighters were busy with no time to rest.. Suman’s female wolf was five times faster than her normal speed if summoned along with the other four..
And with her current speed and Logan’s skill in directing his strikes, polished by current battle experience.. the insects began to fall consecutively at an insane speed..
In the front area.. the villagers brought down more than a thousand insects then returned to the village center..
From his side.. the Rock soldier leader was still performing the same strategy and forming secondary wave paths..
After several minutes.. there were six paths heading right and left..
After the twenty soldiers finished making the paths.. they returned to eliminate the edges of the wave and reduce it as much as possible..
Near the fourth wall from the front.. the Rock soldier leader stood calmly and behind him stood ten fighters.. waiting for the wave to come toward them..
In the back.. the rear wave was without any resistance.. launching toward the fourth wall and approaching it at a steady pace..
"Don’t you possess any special powers?" Lois asked as she struck consecutively..
"Yes.. Dominance. Total dominance" Jo answered with a smile..
"Is that even an ability?"
"Yes. I invented its name"
"You bastard.. you don’t possess an ability then.. just useless muscles" Lois shouted and rebuked Jo..
While they continued to bring down dozens.. after a while Lois shouted.. toward Jo
"I will deliver the strike.. I need you, when I stand before the wave.. to stand on the side and cut the sequence of its flow even for a moment.. "
"Just that? Haha, simple matter, let’s go" he answered
Lois moved quickly.. then jumped before the wave and raised her black glove and prepared..
Something of steam.. began to rise from the glove consecutively.. and a massive pressure settled..
Even the ground under her feet began to be subjected to the pressure..
At that moment.. Jo stood on the side.. and grabbed his axe and lowered it toward the ground and brought it back..
He tightened his hand muscles and brought them back a great distance and grabbed the axe..
Lois watched his posture and prepared.. then
Jo struck from the side violently..
BOOM ..
In a moment..
He cut the flow of the large wave as if an expert samurai sword had cut butter..
But Jo did not enjoy accuracy.. rather strength...
The moment Jo cut the wave.. it began to recover gradually and try to pair with the cut side...
Suddenly ...
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM ..
The sound of a strike roared, making the entire village listen to the sound of a dark explosion...
Jo’s eyes.. were open in massive surprise..
"A strike with 40% Accumulation" Lois muttered..
While.. half of the cut wave that was subjected to Lois’s strike...
Was gone with the wind ....
"Oh.. what horror is this" Monali whispered from above.. as she watched
"She wiped out more than two thousand insects in a single strike.... " Jo whispered angrily.. while he grabbed his axe and moved..
"Dominance.. what nonsense" he muttered then struck.. his strike was severe.. but in his view.. it was small.. very small compared to what he had just witnessed..
On the other side.. the wave was suffering from that intense cooperation between Suman’s wolves and Logan’s ability... not half an hour had passed since that time..
Until ... what remained of the wave was less than what had gone..
In the front.. the front wave was about to arrive.. suddenly ...
The Rock soldier leader stood..
(The Leader Attacks)
He whispered slowly then extended his hands toward the side..
The ten soldiers stood behind him.. and it appeared as if there was a golden energy emerging from them consecutively and heading toward him..
The yellow energy began to gather and accumulate.. until it suddenly began to take a large transparent shape surrounding the Leader..
After the shape took the Leader’s posture.. it began to increase in size bit by bit until it appeared many times larger..
With a size exceeding ten meters in height and the same in width..
The giant golden shadow grabbed a club similar to the Leader’s club..
Then.. the wave arrived..
The Leader raised his hand.. and at the same time the shadow raised its hand as well..
Then ....
BOOM ...
A severe strike fell toward the front of the wave and crushed it completely..
Remnants of insects flew toward vast spaces.. and the Rock Leader continued directing his strikes even more harshly..
In several minutes.. the front wave was completely destroyed..
And what remained were the secondary waves..
Suddenly.. the yellow shadow disappeared.. and the Rock Leader fell to the ground gasping with fatigue..
At that moment.. his accumulation equalled zero..
His ten soldiers stood around him with fatigue as well..
While the twenty soldiers headed toward the secondary waves to bring them down..
At the same moment ..
Both Jo and Lois were fighting fiercely..
"Should I deliver another strike?" Lois asked
"No.. I’ll take care of it" Jo shouted, refusing..
He grabbed his axe and jumped before the wave.. raised his weapon and prepared to deliver a severe strike..
Suddenly ..
A yellow light from above.. descended violently toward the front of the wave and toppled the strong formation it had created.. .
Jo raised his axe again
And delivered severe consecutive strikes..
Toppled dozens.. then dozens
He advanced
A step and a strike..
A resounding scream.. then a strike
The wave returned to adapt again to form its launch.. but
BOOM ..
BOOOOOOOOM...
Jo’s strikes continued to topple the front consecutively and consecutively..
Several minutes passed ... Jo’s scream was echoing with violence and anger..
He hated being in the back.
That’s why he decided to walk forward.. forward into the middle of the wave..
He struck with doubled and redoubled violence ...
Then ...
He delivered his last strike and fell ... his combat accumulation... it was finished
Barely.. he opened his eye and directed his gaze toward the wave..
Then ..
He smiled..
On the other side.. Suman was sighing with fatigue..
He had lost most of his accumulation in supporting Logan..
Despite that.. the wave was completely eliminated..
Suddenly ...
From above ..
Monali screamed with a voice that struck everyone..
"Withdraw... withdraw, everyone!"
In the sky... threads of red light began to appear with their coldness...
While.. the rear insect wave rose high toward the sky, very high..
Then ..
It launched like a flash arrow ...
Toward the front forest..
Everyone’s eyes exploded in surprise..
The insects crossed the village center from above at an insane speed and headed toward the forest ...
As if it were an animal sensing a lethal danger..
Monali jumped quickly toward the top of the tower and pulled her bow violently.. and screamed
"A monster.. a very powerful monster is coming.."
