The scene before me was something out of my wildest dreams, and at the same time...it felt natural.
My feet were standing on top of a huge Dragon, one termed the Champion of Aether as three more just like it were brimming with power nearby!
There were also two glorious looking Unicorns with wide spanning wings and Living Armors wielding enormous golden Tower Shields and Hammers.
All of these things...were following my commands.
Me. Someone who died inexplicably in my old world and was placed in this new realm, and I had somehow grown strong enough in such a short period of time that now...I was standing against the Realm's strongest experts!
Along the way, my personality had gradually changed as my emotions and soul merged with the body of the native of this world, the connections he had with his family being extremely strong as the loss of it affected me greatly. Even now as I stood on top of Koddrys, my expressionless face had a tinge of a cruel smile as I watched resplendent skills rain down upon the beings that began this whole war.
[Storm of Decimation]....[Swords of Light]!
THRUM!
It was a scene out of pure fantasy.
Luminously glowing golden Swords of Light formed from the skies, smashing towards the Diamond experts with purpose as accompanying them were tendrils of dense Aether storms!
The Dark clouds that were menacingly forming from the Dark King faded from such attacks as the enemies had to take them head on.
BOOOM!
A shower of gold and purple erupted out with the impact of the attacks, my eyes turning towards the Blessed I had pulled when utilizing Field Master into the jaws of Koddrys.
"Ahh…!"
His figure was disheveled and burnt in many places, the milky white light within his body nearly drained just from defending against the Dragon's Breath that released a shocking storm of Aether!
WAA!
My fingers made a motion again as while the other Diamond Blessed were just reeling from the first wave of attacks, this one that was injured the most flew towards me uncontrollably as an Attractive Force pulled him forward.
"No..huk!"
His face was that of disbelief and shock, my hands grasping around his neck as with his body drained of power where barely any milky white light could gather, I raised him to look into my eyes while making sure that Mental Field and Aversion Field were active around me for an extra layer of defense.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhile looking into this being's eyes, I asked a simple question!
"Will it be death, or submission?"
…!
RUMBLE!
It was an interesting sight, really. My palm around the neck of a peak expert as I looked down at him from above, my gaze cold as I found myself not feeling a tinge of guilt or remorse. There was just...the feeling of power I sought for, the power I wanted so badly to never have to experience being stared at like a bug again!
Like something that could just be stepped on as I couldn't control whether I would live in the next second. This is what I imagined the despairing Diamond Blessed to be feeling as he stared into my eyes, the tendrils of blue mental energy that I was releasing from my eyes only running wilder as if they were excited.
After all, there was the possibility of dominating multiple DIAMOND Ranked Blessed today and having them under my wing!
All that was left for them to decide was whether they would submit or face death!
WAA!
"Submission or Death?"
I repeated myself again to the shaking being, my hand tightening around his neck as my own milky white energy tightened around his body.
His raspy voice came out weakly. "...Sub..mission!"
THRUM!
My eyes blazed with tendrils of light.
The feeling of subjugation fully erupted as a portion of my consciousness shot into this being, [Subjugate] being cast as shackled were placed onto the mind and soul of this expert, his gaze turning blank before his eyes opened even brighter, a shade of blue being seen within!
"Master."
My hands let go of his neck as he fell kneeling onto the back of the Dragon, a glorious golden light descending from the Paladin of Light as his body was rapidly healed.
I waved my hands to take out a Mana Potion and a Health Potion as this now Subjugated being took them reverently, his body beginning to be filled with power again as he now stood beside me just waiting for a command!
WAA!
This was power.
Power that a nobody like me now controlled, power that I would not let slip out of my hands so easily!
The shocking scene that just occurred caused fear to fully spread among the hearts of the Diamond Experts that barely withstood the first wave of skills from the terrifying Rift Bosses.
A being just like them, one of their own companions that they knew very well the level of his power! Such a being faced the attacks of the Dragon acting as the mount for the terrifying young man before them, his mangled body being dragged to this terrifying being as after the shining of a brilliant blue light, their friend now stood protectively and reverentially beside the enemy!
…!
Seeing this scene, their faces twisted as they found themselves facing a terrible predicament, the words of the enemy they faced ringing out clearly once more as he and the dragon below him moved towards them.
"Submission...or death!"
WAAA!
A dominating pressure was released, the Dark King feeling this even more as he bellowed out while casting skills, causing numerous weapons made out of pure darkness to appear around him as he bellowed out.
OOOOOH!
"Fight! Fight for your lives and honor! Fight and do not Submit!"
The will of the Dark King was strong as he would not bow to anyone, even in such a predicament!
"We are the Rulers of Continents! We do not fall to a some known enemy."
WAA!
Every time he spoke, the materialization of weapons steeped in darkness became faster as with his calls, some semblance of fighting spirit shone from the hearts of the experts as shocking skills filled the air.
[Wind Storm]!
[Fiery Burst]!
[Ice Age]!
Skills capable of changing the very surroundings were cast, the skies changing from shades of blue to red and back to blue as deadly wind blades filled the skies in one second, fiery storms the next second, and the ice erupted out to cover the surroundings a second later!
But...even with all of this, the DIAMOND Rift Bosses merely shook off these attacks as they couldn't pierce through their defenses.
The Paladin of Light shone with a compassionate look as a second after the fighting spirit of the enemies were rejuvenated, it waved its arms as it cast [Hammer of Glory] towards the cluster of experts, the Diamond Blessed shockingly finding the Dragons and other Units moving away as an enormous golden hammer formed from the skies to smash towards them!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Defend!"
OOOOH!
The hammer covered a 50 meter region as they were all in it, their bodies glimmering with milky white lights as an assortment of colorful skills released from them to release the shocking impact of the Golden Hammer of Glory.
BOOOM!
It felt like their legs buckled below them as the sound of the sky shattering spread out, but their bodies shone with power as they held on, feeling the tinge of victory nearby!
But this was when the second effect of [Hammer of Glory] appeared, where scorching golden flames erupted from the area of the sky the hammer smashed on as it went on to spread out 100 meters in diameter!
…!
"Ah…!"
Some still had the power to withstand, others felt their defenses shredded as the power of a Diamond Rift Boss was simply too immense.
Yet as they handled the golden hammer releasing scorching golden flames above them, another Paladin of Light appeared below as with a positive look, he called forth another Hammer of Glory.
RUMBLE!
As above, so from below!
Another hammer shot towards the 14 remaining experts, their eyes barely turning to see the expanse of gold smashing into their feet as scorching golden flames then erupted below them, Devouring the defenses of the weaker experts as this attack would take a few out of commission!
It was just two attacks from two Light Element Dimensional Rift Bosses, but that was equivalent to the attacks of over 20 Diamond Blessed against the 14 that were facing enemies on all sides…
The result was only natural!
WAA!
When the scene cleared and the hammers faded, the bloodied figures of the Ruler of the Wild Continent and The Dark King could be seen, their faces extremely ugly at this moment!
From among them, the figures of 6 Diamond Blessed fell from the skies as if their strings were cut, their eyes blank as some of them nearly had their bodies fully Scorched by the surprising golden flames.
Yet their bodies didn't even fall far before they came to a stop, a terrifying force pulling them towards a certain direction where a young man stood on top of a Champion of Aether!
Whether conscious or not, their 6 figures were pulled towards Noah and they were lined up in front of him as his eyes released horrendous tendrils of blue light, he once more asked coldly.
"Submission, or Death?!"
RUUUMBLE!
