Chapter 438 - Mega War (1) : The Eyes Of Lucifer
Emperor Cervantez looked over his shoulders , looking at the massive army who had amassed to protect his country . He was truly grateful for all the brave warriors standing to fight the forces of darkness today .
He wanted to motivate his troops , but knowing that there were millions , and not wanting to shout like a moron ruining his regal aura , he decided to instead make a grand gesture.
Pointing one finger up , he said ' Paranoia '.
A sword qi soo strong that it ripped through space itself left his finger , as it went straight into the air about 1 km , before blasting with an intensity that rattled the very earth that the massive army was standing on.
A cyclonic wind blew towards the forces of darkness , as the trees of the forest were uprooted from their roots , flying away with about 50,000 soldiers , under the winds.
With a single finger , Cervantez marked his presence on the battlefield. The millions watching his might feeling emboldened to have him at the forefront , as they looked at the forces of darkness with hostility.
Due to Cervantez showing his might , the nervousness of the Hazelgroove forces was replaced with a burst of energy. Even Rudra who was looking from top of the wall miles away could feel his blood boiling with excitement.
That was the might of a tier 5 existance. A single finger that was not even aimed at the enemy was able to wipe out tens of thousands. This was a sovereign leading his troops from the front. A man worthy of following.
Unlike what Cervantez expected , there was no response from the forces of darkness , who did not charge at the Hazelgroove army or show any signs of charging as they only held on to their lines , regrouping at the affected areas.
Cervantez felt something was wrong , why would a force amass on the borders of Purplehaze city , to not at all attack the enemy in open battle but hold their lines. This was a clear indication that they were waiting for something to happen. Some trick was at play here.
Cervantez looked into the distance , seemingly where Mazikeen was supposedly hiding and confirmed his fears that there was a bigger ploy here. However Cervantez was not a 20 year old kid fighting his first war.
He was a veteran educated in warfare every since he was able to walk. Since Mazikeen was not present , there was noone who could stop him from running wild on the battlefield. And irrespective of what the enemy was planning , Cervantez wanted to give no time to enemy forces to get their plan in motion .
Cervantez unsheathed his sword , the legendary grade sword called ' Zenith ' , a gleaming silver glow was present on the sword , as Cervantez swished it in air a few times.
The air was ripped into turbulent wind currents by his simple actions , which were sent towards the enemy forces decimating their front lines. Without moving a single step from his location , only doing simple movements that looked like warmup if done by any other swordsman , in one minute Cervantez wiped 600,000 of the enemy troops.
And he had not even gotten serious yet. The tier 3 captians who saw their squads getting decimated tried to take matter into their own hands , and launch attacking spells on Cervantez , but before they could even take a offensive step , their heads were displaced cleanly from their shoulders.
At this point , Cervantez said " Charge! ".
The front lines were in a mess , and he had single handedly decimated a large portion of the front line forces , hence providing an opportunity for the Hazelgroove forces to tear through the enemy lines.
However , Cervantez was a little unlucky , as Mazikeen completed the preparations for the tower that held Lucifer's eye.
The ground rumbled , as a 30 storey tall single block stone structure raised its head from the ground , sitting on top of it was a massive ball of fire .
Atleast it looked like a ball of fire at the first glance , but when the ball of fire started to form purple vein like structure from the side it started to look extremely creepy.
The entire army's attention was on that massive structure , including Cervantez's who had no idea of what it was . However , when in the scariest move of the century , a black iris suddenly rolled from the top section of the flame to the centre , everyone looking at the flaming eye got goosebumps.
Then , the Hazelgroove forces met with a nightmare of a problem. Tier 0 troops staring at the eye were petrified in mere moments . Turned into cold blocks of stones.
Tier 1 players were having their feet turned into stone , restricting movement by 99%. They were only barely alive .
While tier 2 players had a 40% speed debuff and tier 3 players had a 5% debuff.
Lucifer's eyes fell in the battlefield and caused a calamity that only a tier 6 existance could do . As millions were dead , while a majority of the Hazelgroove forces , the tier one players were only sitting ducks waiting to be killed.
Only a glance , and the Hazelgroove army was already on a backfoot. However Cervantez was quick in his reaction of what he needed to do. The tower had to go down , no matter what . He knew he was walking into a trap , Mazikeen was right near the tower alongside 25 tier 4 generals . And the desperation of the situation called for Cervantez to rush in anyway.
An evil smirk spread on Mazikeen's face , when she sensed Cervantez closing in . The initial exchange was her victory!

( Meanwhile , somewhere south of Purplehaze city )
Prince Aman looked towards the sky , as he could feel the dark mana around him reacting to the presence of the dark lord.
His expression remained unchanged , as he asked his bone dragon to fly higher. Gaining altitude he was able to see the massive armies clashing miles away , and a small eye that was staring right at him.
Aman felt like his heart siezed to beat for a moment when he met eyes with the devil himself , but was successful in regaining his composure. His bone dragon however grew more and more restless , flying erratically .
Aman's aura changed as the death aura seeped from his fingers into the bone dragon , making it obedient again , after which Aman lowered the altitude and continued to fly towards Purplehaze city.
He was only one hour away from the south gate now . It was his homecoming.
Exiled in shame , he spent his time banished from the kingdom building his strength expanding the number of undead he controlled. No longer having to worry about his appearance he embraced the dead and the aura of death , taking a true step in the art of necromancy.
Although looking frail , he was stronger than ever , strong enough to shift the balance of the war completely .
