Conquer - Chapter 240

“Get out! Protect the kingdom!” I opened up the gates that was holding hundred thousands of monsters. “GO!” As I saw them heading out, it was like a flood of monsters and the amalgamation of our efforts.

The ground shook everytime they stomped their feets as they were running. A few minutes later, I emptied out the whole separate kingdom that we built for the monsters.

I rushed over to the scene to join the fight with the army but all I found was a blood filled battlefield where only Zieglind was standing.

I was just… confused. I looked around trying to see the reaction of the others but they just had a smile on their faces. Did he… do all this? I couldn’t believe it. There was… there was an army here. I just left for several minutes… Wha- wha- what?

Zieglind then contacted us all. It seems that other armies are moving in other kingdoms. Since all these monsters are already out, I can’t really leave them here and bringing them all back in will take a long time.

I hopped on to the back of the phoenix that Precia tamed and led the army into the next area.

By the time I got there, the kingdom was already destroyed. “WHAT!?” It seems that our travel has gotten incredibly slow because I have an army behind me. Damn it, this is a lack of judgment and completely my fault.

We all arrived there and I could see that this army is far bigger than the ones back at Izgoy. And what’s that magic ball thing..?

I then saw something falling out of it… which looked like… monsters?

And they’re falling like rain… The generation of those monsters are too fast! No way… this will take over the world within months… This is impossible! “Everyone! Let loose! Kill anything you see!”

I then jumped over to where the mages are, “Stance Change, Tai Chi!” I started off with a punch but there was something hard that was protecting the mages from inside.

I looked over at that mysterious ball filled with mana and its just creating more and more monsters. I need to stop it immediately!

I rushed over to the spawner but my attacks seems to do nothing. Its tough.

And I didn’t even notice it but thousands of the monsters that were spawning were jumping on me.

But suddenly, the whole battlefield were in a sea of flames. I looked up and the phoenix were raining us down with its fireballs and simultaneously… healing me?

I got a little damaged because my power got rebounded back to me when I couldn’t destroy their barrier. But this sea of flames… its healing me… “Thanks Faye, Rudy!”

The phoenix let out a loud shriek and went on to flood the whole place with its fire.

I then felt a sudden surge of power through me. I looked back and the shamans that I captured where dancing and creating music amidst this chaos.

I felt like I was faster, stronger and far more durable than ever.

The mages from the back ranging from goblins, lizardmen and the other countless creatures that we capture were helping me fight off the enemies.

It seems that I’m not alone this time.

Alright, I think I can use this here.

Its pretty destructive and is the same set of armor that Zieglind once used… but this time most of its negatives have been removed.

“Nephilim Armor!” A bright light, and the darkest dark light shone on my hands. “Oh yeah there… it is… ARGHHHHHHH!!!”

The unrelenting heat of the left gauntlet, and the demon gauntlet on my right hand piercing in my skin and taking over. The concept is the same with Zieglind’s armor but this time… everything is concentrated with my fists. All of my energy is getting redirected here.

The armor was split in half perfectly. My left side was shining in a golden white armor and the right side being in a completely black and red armor.

“HAHA! Still painful as…. EVER! DAMN IT!” I could then feel my stamina being regenerated. I looked back and ten healers were focused on me. They then casted dull pain on me but it doesn’t even make the pain less painful than it is. But in exchange for this pain, I’ll be stronger than ever.

My body feels so heavy because of the blood that I’ve lost so my speed is the same as that of a normal person.

But from this place… I can still punch… “Unlimited Reach! Stance Change, Boxing!” I started off with a left hook and it sent out a shock wave that sent me and the enemies flying. I broke one of the mage’s group’s barriers but in exchange, the intense pain, I couldn’t take.

I’m going to destroy my whole body at this rate. That’s why I need to end this fight fast.

“Mana Search!” I need to get rid of the strongest enemies first then move on to the mages. I then saw multiple readings of people gathered in different places.

It looks like… it forms a diamond. Four points and there’s multiple people with high mana capacity. So that means that the mages are there and they’re the ones spawning in these monsters. But why… I still don’t understand why. There’s multiple points as Zieglind said but why did they suddenly appear out of nowhere? Are they targeting us because they noticed our movements..? Argh, no time to think about that. Just focus on the situation.

I looked over at the spawner and its spawning so fast to the point that its already fighting off most of my army… its numbers are insane. But the strongest monsters I have won’t back down that easily. And I won’t too.

“Grit your teeth Yefa… you can do this… you can!” I punched the ground and it immediately sent me flying up in the sky into the direction of the mages. It hurts so bad I could cry but I’m so close to killing these people.

I readied my fists from above. I know there’s going to be a tough barrier but I believe in myself that I can get through it. So that’s why I readied my fists and dived into the mages.

Crack. Crack. Crack. Crack. Crack. Crack. Crack. Crack. Crack. Crack. Crack. Crack.

I didn’t know how many that was but I felt like my insides were destroyed. But it was slowly regenerating due to the healers that were supporting me.

One down.

I punched the ground again to send me flying to the other one… and another… and another one… until I killed them all and the spawner closed.

Even thought I couldn’t see my fists, I know it was battered, destroyed or maybe even minced. I seriously don’t know. But I still have duties to do.

I can still fight.

“Mach Punch!” A single accelerated straight punch, breaking the speed of sound and using the strongest power I can accumulate.

Everything that was in front of me… gone. In a blink of an eye. Enemy or foe, it doesn’t choose anything. As long as it can be destroyed… it’ll just break and break until it is done.

I couldn’t feel my wounds anymore… I’m running on adrenaline right now. Good thing that the shaman are there to heal my wounds… It seems that I’ll live.

I took a good look at the bodies and it seems that I really didn’t let anyone go. The mages were carrying staffs and I took it upon myself to touch it. And my mind control negation effect cancelled it out.

I immediately threw it on the ground and broke it.

“Analyze.” I took a good look at the staff and it did bring some amazing benefits. But it can mind control someone and someone is using it from afar by… something I don’t know. Nevertheless, I got some good information. I will put this to good use and I’ll share this with everyone.

I began to scavenge the other bodies and ordered the monsters to guard the whole area so that I can search for more. No one is contacting me so I guess I’ll find some more information.

The weapons the monsters being spawned in the portal are the same with the staff. It instantly activated my mind control negation and so much more.

I began to question who is or what is controlling these monsters. And why are they setting up points like this in several places.

But in the end… I really didn’t succeed. I have killed. A whole kingdom. I failed this mission.

I can’t believe that my poor judgment led up to this… failure. I hope that I don’t let down Zieglind or anyone that capture this kingdom.

I’ll make sure to avenge everyone that died here and accept my failures to further improve myself. I will be a much better person and a stronger person so that I can stand beside the one that I love.
