Chapter 483 The Epic Battle - Part 4
But something told me these tentacles weren’t that small! Having such tentacles might provide an act of defence for the monster here.
Yet against my mighty wave attack, all these tentacles were burnt down. Even the body of that monster started to burn and get wounds.
The wounds looked exactly like the gap that monster created on the water surface; deep, long, and broad.
Black big drops the size of hills started to appear from that body. I knew these were his blood droplets, looking in such a big way for a dwarf race like mine.
“You… Managed to wound him?!!!” Isac gave such useless comments that didn’t give any help at all.
So I decided to ignore whatever she said, unless it was out of great importance.
[Your shield needs one million souls to repair itself] just as my shield got all these attacks from all directions, and even before the rocks coming from the depth of the ocean would rise up, I got such a message.
One million souls? [Take them!] I didn’t even hesitate to pay such a price. After all, my soul count was rising nonstop and reached a grand figure of tens of millions.
Just during the past desperate act of me, my controlled monsters killed lots, lots beyond what I could count. And this was still rising up as they were killing while advancing towards me.
I didn’t forget about my monsters, but I had to wait for a suitable stage to be prepared for them to shine. As for fearing to lose them, I got the feeling that they would all get encompassed under my shield, or at least most of those close by.
I raised my head and could see long and deep cracks appearing at my shield. It was a very grand scene, one that would turn anyone into a panicked chicken, just like Isac here.
But in a flash, the shield got all repaired. All the cracks were gone, and the shield that was on the verge of collapsing got a rebirth.
For one million souls? That was just a great price to have such a magical effect.
As for my pillar, I kept moving it around. I was trying no to only expand the area of damage over this behemoth, but to look for any point of weakness.
I now could tell why Isac and her race never got to know any weak spot about it. How would they and they weren’t able to see its true shape and body?
Just from my attack I could tell that dude was really massive, but it wasn’t standing erect. It was floating on water, and that made me shocked for many minutes when I realised that.
Just laying on water and having such a high stature, almost a hundred metre higher than my chariot right now? That was scary!
It looked like I was just hitting the side of its body. What if I was fighting it over the ground? How high would it get if it stood on its limbs or tentacles?
Damn! That dude… It was just something way beyond my current power to face.
I threw away all these useless feelings and started to move my chariot higher.
I had to become higher than it, and then I’d aim at its main body and not just its side.
I wanted to locate its head, eyes, or even its heart. Any place that would be vulnerable for me to hit and cause considerable damage was a good target.
As I rose my chariot up, the first wave of rock attack from the depth of the ocean bed came at last.
The rocks weren’t just normal. They were big, and had that black lustre around them. I didn’t know if they were the way of how its technique worked, or if that layer of energy was there to add more damage or shield the rocks from any counter attacks.
But these rocks were really fierce! Rocks in the size of mountain peaks came crashing from down to above, trying to break through my shield.
My shield reverberated fiercely and its surface showed more turbulence than ever. Faint cracks started to appear all over the contact zone, but the shield still stood tall and mighty.
No matter how many of these rocks came crashing at it, they only caused faint cracks.
These kinds of cracks were able to heal on themselves. I didn’t need to spend more souls to fix these.
But what happened next made me positive that I’d bleed more souls to repair the damage.
*Boom!* *Boom!* *Boom!
It started when many rocks gathered and stopped by my shield. It looked like being together made a change or triggered something, leading to a massive series of explosions that managed to even tear apart part of my shield.
Thick tongues of black fire fell deep down the gap towards my direction. In fact the gap wasn’t in line with me, but I felt there was some sort of will controlling these.
[Do you want to pay three million souls to repair the shield?]
“Pay!” I didn’t have any option here anyway. These tongues of dark fire reached me fast enough before my voice would cool down.
That bastard seemed to do all this to just break through my shield and get to me. Least it knew this shield wasn’t the only one I had.
*Rumble!”
Having these fierce clashes close up made the sounds of explosions be deafening and terrifying. However no matter how many of these fire thick arms tried to hit me, they were all stopped by my chariot.
Then the bigger shield started to heal, cutting these fire thick pillars from the middle, making them lose all connection with their master and fall down.
I thought they would dissipate in wisps of thick black smoke, but they fell just fine over the surface of the water, not even sinking down.
These… I was now curious about these fiery hardened black pieces. They were treasures, indeed they were!
