BXBX NOVEL Chapter 231: Destruction Worked
James and the others needed help, but it couldn\'t come.
The reason, of course, was that not all the empire\'s soldiers were here. James knew that if the war was gifted like this, they would be the losing side.
"KUOGH!!!"
James realised that the soldier in front of him was vomiting blood, he was so focused on fighting that he didn\'t even notice the pool of blood that had started to form around him.
As he came to this realisation he shuddered inwardly.
It was quite sad that the Imperial soldiers were attacking without a second thought, even though they had lost their mates.
Everyone was being pushed back, and although defeat was not really out of the question, it was daunting that so many casualties were occurring every minute.
After using his dark step ability again, James transferred his aura to his legs, ran a few metres, and jumped almost ten metres high. When the holy sword plunged Clarent into the neck of the giant he saw in front of him, the giant died instantly, no sound rising into the air.
The giant fell to the ground with James on top of it, and then James lunged forward again, endeavouring to approach the portal as fast as he could.
He wanted to take a chance and put his mana to use. In short, he hoped to use his destruction ability to damage the gate, which was now reduced to half its original size.
The chances of that happening were next to impossible. After all, it had taken James two hits to destroy even a tiny gate, despite using a massive amount of mana.
That was why he wished to try, if he could only keep the monsters inside the portal for a short time, perhaps for a day, then the imperial soldiers and Asgardian warriors might be able to recover.
The sight of a mountain of corpses...the sight of thousands of corpses of monsters and allies on the ground. Certainly, everyone was wishing for a little time to recover, and James was trying to approach the portal as fast as he could, wishing to give everyone that time.
"EVE!!!" shouted James. With this shout, he somehow managed to make Eve hear his voice through all the screams and shouts on the battlefield.
Eve somehow managed to see James through all the monsters and saw him making a few hand gestures.
James\' request seemed to be for Eve to buff him again. The fact that Eve didn\'t have much mana left at the moment made everything dangerous, but if James wanted to do this even though he knew that such a danger existed, he had to have a plan.
Empress Eve, knowing this, raised her sword without even trying to say anything, and then said a few words:
"O particle of the fallen sunrise, owner of the great sun, I pray and worship you that the one in my presence may shine eternally. Take, take and give as much energy as you wish, and give, give him as much light as you can!"
After Eve\'s words, the rain clouds in the sky briefly dissipated and the sunlight that had managed to emerge suddenly descended completely on James.
James was aware of the enhancement that had entered his body as if he had suddenly jumped a hundred levels.
While he was experiencing these sensations, a system window suddenly opened in front of him:
[THERE IS A MASSIVE INFLOW OF MANA AND AURA INTO YOUR BODY!!!
YOU ARE ADVISED TO IMMEDIATELY EXPEL THE ENERGY!!!
ONE LAST MINUTE BEFORE YOUR BODY COLLAPSES AND EXPLODES!!!
MANA AND AURA REGENERATION INCREASED BY 1500%!!!]
"HOLY FUCKING SHIT!" shouted James as he read what was written in the window opposite him.
He had to be quick, he was very close to the portal and there were only three monsters left in front of him.
Of course, many monsters were still coming out of the passage, but their numbers had decreased. It seemed to indicate that these little monsters were coming to an end. The fact that the passage was still so big did nothing but make him wonder what the monster that would come out later would be like.
While an incredible anxiety enveloped those who were smart enough to think about it, it was working as a reminder to James again.
Just after James had managed to kill the last few monsters in front of him, he finally made it to the front of the portal.
There were almost fifty metres between him and the gate. This passage, which looked even more frightening up close, was indeed quite frightening, but he had no time to think.
He had to immediately drain the enormous amount of magic and, if possible, aura from his body.
Indeed, he had completely transferred all the mana he could muster to his left leg, and his leg was now filled with mana that would be the envy of even the highest-level mages.
It was such an enormous mass of mana that it was more than James\'s leg. and he\'d sneak out and scatter all over the place.
With that, everything was set, and James could make his attack.
"DESTRUCTION!!!" James suddenly shouted, and immediately afterwards he slammed his left leg, which was overflowing with mana, into the earth:
For a moment, silence spread across the field, and the absolute silence that spread across the battlefield frightened everyone. It was as if all the laws of the world had disappeared.
Immediately after this, a gigantic light appeared. Immediately after that, the light itself pierced through the rain clouds that had begun to gather again, destroying them, and with that, an ear-splitting "BOOOOM!!!" sound echoed throughout the battlefield and the earth.
After a heartbeat, the sound wave began to dissipate with a gradual increase, and as it managed to enter everyone\'s ears, it was as if the gate itself was beginning to tear.
Still, this was not enough. Even the air itself was fluctuating and a deep and confusing wave of mana was recognised by everyone, ringing in the ears and making the earth tremble like an earthquake.
Even this was not enough.
Immediately after the sound produced by this mana dispersion, an aftershock appeared. It was as if the mana continuing to spread in the air and the enormous amount of mana scattered on the earth itself were producing the sound of a drum:
\'WUB-WUB-WUB-DOM-TROM-WUM-WUM-WUB!\'
As the eerie sensation that had lasted for a long time after the use of the ability faded and the echoing drumbeats became a murmur, James seemed to be told that many things were over.
James himself was stunned. The 1500% mana and aura regeneration he had gained from Eve\'s ability was what helped him the most at the moment. The only thing that prevented James from being so shaken, and with it the only thing that prevented him from collapsing and disappearing right now, was the buff Eve had given him.
He couldn\'t imagine how much damage such a buff had done to Eve.
Still, after all the shaking and earthquakes that had occurred, everything seemed to have worked.
The top of the portal had begun to tear in half down the centre, the size of the portal had shrunk ENORMOUSLY and the best news of all was that the portal had frozen.
If James\' hopes were correct, everyone would be able to rest for at least a day.
The first round of the 35th Floor\'s great battle had been won by the Empire.
James was constantly breathing deeply where he was, they may have won now, but it was impossible to know when this portal, which seemed to be frozen in time, would thaw and when the creatures that would most likely bring destruction to this empire would emerge.
James just wanted the possibility of resting for at least a day.
By the time the monsters around him had been killed, James had his hands open, he seemed to know how to profit from this space and this war that existed.
There were tens of thousands of monsters that had died, creatures still lying around, disgusting creatures that needed to be cleaned.
"Exploitation," James said in a calm tone.
As soon as he said that, every single one of the monsters around him vanished into thin air. Still, when James looked at his profile, he saw that no status points had been awarded to him.
James had pinned all his dreams on this.
He didn\'t even want to believe that he wouldn\'t get any status points from tens of thousands of monster corpses. This was terrible news.
"What\'s going on?" questioned James, and with that he moved quickly, repeatedly using his "exploitation" ability to exploit as many monsters as he could and destroy their corpses.
The surrounding allies did not know James\' intentions, which made things awkward, but there was nothing he could do in this situation.
Thousands of monster corpses had vanished into nothingness in just a few minutes. James had to find out what had happened, and he had to do it now.
