The Start of the War
The Start of the War
With the roar that shook the entire battlefield, the normal people from the Fire God Clan and Snow White Mountain became pale, especially the mercenaries they hired. The disciples from the Fire God Clan thought they should leave right away since some of them got invited by their friends to leave the influence. They thought they could still fight alongside the Fire God Clan, somehow won this fight, and the clan elevated their status.
Unfortunately, everything they wished for was nowhere to be seen. With all these people and their power, this might be considered a one side massacre at this point, let alone evenly matched.
However, they suddenly remembered what Leo just said. At least half of them realized that Davi's words held some truths. If they didn't do anything, the enemies would trample them and kill them without mercy. There was nothing they could do to stay alive other than fighting for their life.
Even those people hailing from Snow White Mountain who fell on their butt after feeling helpless slowly rose on their feet, watching how the incoming enemies killed the disciples of their sect. Despair, rage, and the desire to live mixed in their heart and the result was none other than desperate.
Seeing this kind of face, Liza and Leo obviously didn't let this go. "People of Fire God Clan (Snow White Mountain). If you don't fight for your lives, the enemies won't let you live past today. In that case, we are going to break through from this place with our lives on the line. Everyone, go! I shall be right behind you!"
"Ooh!" The roar of more than a hundred thousand people echoed. It seemed that the people in this Heavenly Continent were better than he expected. With that rallying call just now, more than two-thirds stood back up on their feet.
"Seriously? If this is Willow Continent or Sacred Continent, at least half of them won't do a pointless struggle and drop their weapons… Or have I cornered them too much?" Alex muttered to himself.
Anya appeared before him and said. "When an influence draws close to its hour of demise, it will surely unleash a level of strength that far exceeds all expectations in an effort to fight back. In other words, the war where one side perishes would be an atrocious war where blood will only be washed away by blood.
"You haven't met this type of influence in the past. Firstly, the influences from the Willow Continent didn't meet this kind of criteria, except the Zhou Kingdom. Even them, it also had a similar ruling power as the Blood Devil Sect. It didn't have loyalty. One influence that was close to what Fire God Clan and Snow White Mountain have was Joyful Sect.
"They utilized their bond to release more strength in their body, but we were lucky because they were a bit corrupted. Their minds enjoyed too much pleasure, so they got scared of this kind of annihilation. However, the Fire God Clan has fire-related to their emotions… I think it's safe to assume this will become a gruesome fight.
"After all, unlike the influences in the past, they couldn't run away to another continent to get stronger as this continent is the strongest. In other words, their backs truly touched the corner. That's why this is my last warning to you. Since you have walked in this path, you shall see it through." Anya explained all of this with a solemn expression.
Alex widened his eyes for a few seconds. This might be the first time he saw this expression on Anya's face. The narrowed eyes filled with resolve sent a shiver to Alex's spine. He closed his eyes for a few seconds and asked. "If I become a tyrant, will you accompany me?"
"Such a foolish question. You can ask Anna, Alicia and the others. Our answer will be the same. Shall that time arrive, we will follow you even to the deepest part of hell." Anya smiled.
Alex took a deep breath after hearing her answer. His weapons appeared in his hand as he clenched them tightly.
"It seems you have your answer."
"Yeah. I won't make an unnecessary fight, but shall they have a thought to my family, even if I am going to fight the whole universe, I shall cut them down." Alex smiled and turned around. "And this Fire God Clan will be the first one."
Anya smiled and nodded. "Be careful."
"Greg. Protect her for me."
"With my life, Master." Greg nodded.
"Beast King. We are going to sneak around from the ground. All of you shall follow me when I suddenly fly upward because that will be our targets."
"Don't worry. Everyone has been strengthened with weapons and armor, even the Undead also boost our strength. There is nothing we fear."
"Good." Alex took another deep breath before flying down and running on the ground.
"All of you! Follow him!" The beast king roared to all beastmen.
*Roar!*
A series of roar resounded across the region as they descended to the ground.
Alex noticed the incoming presence from behind and smiled. At the same time, six people appeared beside him. Alex didn't need to take a glimpse of their face because he already knew who it was. "Sherry, Firia, Kyle, Stina. You four will become the tip of the spear with me, suppressing everyone coming our way. Anna will search for a good opportunity to summon her butterflies while Nelson will assassinate our target."
"Understood." They nodded. Although only two to three thousand from the beastmen participated, their strength was extraordinary. Alex wanted to use their strength to become a spear that could penetrate deep inside their territory and struck at their heart.
"Let's go!" Alex shouted.
"Ooh!"
Leo noticed this and roared. "Look at those people, especially that Alexander Sirius. He is the cause of this war, and he is going to present his head to us. You must hate him, right? This is the time for you to kill him. First Elder to Tenth Elder will select three thousand elites to reinforce our defense in that direction. When he arrives deep inside our ranks, we will bury him here."
"Yes, Patriarch." Those ten elders disappeared, assembling the disciples to fight.
Alex, on the other hand, roared as he thrust his sword, killing a disciple from Fire God Clan. "Come then! Let us see whether I die or you all die!"
"You monster!" The disciple uttered his last word on Alex.
Unfortunately, Alex paid no heed and threw him away.
"Argh!"
"Gya!"
"Kek!"
"This suppression!"
"We can't get too close to them due to the suppression."
A series of screams presented on the battlefield. Most of them were dying screams, but a few of them were people who realized the power behind Alex.
They saw Alex in the very front with his Pure Fire covering his body. With that kind of fire, the area around him, especially in front of him, had a suppressing effect. If they were too close, they would soon immobilize if their strength was too low. In other words, they would be slaughtered like a pig.
However, what was terrifying was the four people beside him. Sherry and Firia were on his right and left, giving a bigger area of suppression. Stina and Kyle also did their job in this suppression, but they were a bit limited since their flame wasn't strong enough to give an absolute suppression like Alex.
It was the beastmen' turn to act their part. They slaughtered everyone that Alex and his friends had no time to slaughter, making sure the place they penetrated had no enemies alive.
"Kill them!"
"Even if I can't use my Fire, I shall cut you down!" Many people shouted at Alex, but the latter still had no change of expression, killing the enemies one by one and advanced as quickly as possible.
"Fire Swords!" Alex summoned his Fire Swords and launched them in all directions, trying to create a commotion in their area. The beastmen smirked as they swung their weapons to cut the enemies down. Because of the suppression, they had the luxury to talk. At this time, the beast king appeared beside Alex.
"Young Human Alexander… What are you going to do with their elders? I can handle their 9-Star Martial Saint, but that's it."
"As long as you can handle the first elder, I will take care of the rest." Alex then glanced at his teammates. "Anna and Nelson will handle the second and third elders. Firia, Stina, Kyle can get their own opponent. You can give me and Sherry two enemies with Fire Element. They won't be our enemies even with two of them."
The group nodded and gazed upon the sky, where the elders were waiting for him. They were just right outside where Leo stood, but Alex had another different thought for this kind of formation. He took out a token and channeled his Spiritual Energy inside it. The one that held the other part of the token noticed it and smirked.
"Crazy bastard. Fine. I shall play along with you."
The beast king, on the other hand, was looking at Alex with mixed feelings. The past him was just a mere Martial Monarch that just broke through. But a few years later, he had become one of the peak powerhouses on this continent, and his cultivation reached 6-Star Martial Saint. Insane might be an understatement. Still, for whatever reason, he respected Alex from the bottom of his heart because of the strength and potential he possessed.
"I, Beast King, shall accomplish my mission." The beast king nodded and regrouped with his people.
Not long after, Alex jumped to the sky after throwing a gaze on a particular spot.
It was pretty easy to break through to this place, but he knew the next wall they needed to pierce was formed by many Martial Saints and Monarchs. Alex needed to deal with them first if he wanted to escape from the enemy encirclement.
"You brat. Do you think my Fire God Clan will be destroyed today? No. It's your Spirit Nest. As long as I kill you, your people will crumble!" The first elder was an old man with a white robe. His hair had turned white, and his complexion was full of anger. He really wanted to butcher this Alex brutally.
"Hmph! I only need to get behind you to send Leo's head flying."
"His name is not something you can casually call!" He roared. "Do you think I am afraid of your Pure Fire? Sorry, but your fire won't be effective because I have a Lightning Element!" He released his Spiritual Energy with Lightning Element summoned along with it. "All elders. Follow me to kill that brat. The disciples will surround them and kill those filths."
Alex didn't move when he saw the ten elders coming. "Hmph!"
Just like the elders, seven shadows appeared to help Alex.
