Chapter 305 - Let There Be Wind!

When the colossal rock golem appeared before the Ant King, Elder Evergreen waste a single moment. As soon as the Ant King finished screeching, the colossal rock golem had already lifted its large feet and stomped hard on the Ant King.

Compared to its initial formation, the colossal rock golem was much more mobile after being equipped by the layer of green grass.

The force of the stomp generated incredible wind pressure that forced the surrounding ants in the vicinity into the ground like they were suffering from tenfold gravity.

The Ant King stare up at the imposing feet without a hint of fear or intention to dodge. Instead, the Ant King was bold and full of arrogance. It raised its own arm to receive the colossal stone golem's stomp with a punch.

Boom!

Both attacks connected, and the force of impact generated a seismic shockwave that rippled across the battlefield.

Web-like cracks formed underneath the Ant King's feet as the rock golem's feet were shattered, albeit only a fragment of its entirely, as the rest of the foot proceeded to press into the ground and flatten the earth.

BOOM!

The second impact was like a clap of thunder as the earth quaked with a deafening explosion. Dirt and soil rose into the sky, along with many fractures formed across the region.

The fractures reached all the way to the earthen rampart and beyond, affecting everyone on it and back at the camp as they failed to keep their balance.

However, this was nothing compared to the epicenter of the impact that directly crushed thousands of ants underneath the rock golem's feet. Tens of thousands more ants were sent into disarray as they were swallowed by the forming fractures in the earth.

"I thought the Ant King was monstrous enough but isn't the elder even more monstrous?!"

"Right? This level of destruction is unbelievable!"

"I can't believe the attack would reach all the way here. We should retreat further back!"

The palace guards and soldiers began to retreat with the earth spirits guarding the rear. Excluding the earth spirits, all the other earth-users within the group could be seen clenching their trembling fists, but they were not trembling because of fear.

"We can win this! Elder Evergreen will definitely be able to beat that thing!"

"This is how an earth-user should fight! I've been wielding the earth incorrectly!"

They were trembling from excitement. It was like the mist obscuring their vision had been cleared as they could see the direction to pursue to become a great earth-user.

After the dust was settled, the few hundred thousand ants could be seen rushing towards the rock golem from the World Tree while a few ten thousand more climbed out of the fractures to join the fray.

The rock golem could be seen lifting its other feet and stomping down on the ants with another deafening impact, crushing thousands of ants and sending tens of thousands more flying away from the generate air pressure.

These low-level ants were not deterred by the overwhelming difference in strength. After getting back on their feet, they rushed towards the rock golem and climbed onto it before biting with their powerful mandibles in a frenzied manner.

Scree!

Underneath the rock golem's foot, the Ant King screeched with anger and a hint of helplessness that no one else could hear. It was pinned into the ground in a squatting position, under the rock golem's immense weight, and could not move.

It was clear that its strength was greater! So, how can it be stuck in such a sorry state?!

Scree!

(How can a superior being like myself suffer such embarrassment from the likes of these inferior humans?!)

(You have successfully angered this king!)

The Ant King's eyes glowed with a brighter crimson light as its body began to bulge and expand to twice its original size.

The earth underneath its feet began to crack further as it slowly lifted the rock golem's feet up with both hands and through the rock golem off balance with a final push.

The rock golem fell back with a heavy thud, kicking up another storm of dirt and dust as the Ant King pounced on top of the rock golem and rained down a barrage of punches.

The low-level ants were unable to damage the rock golem that had been reinforced by Elder Evergreen's energy.

Some even had their tough mandibles broken when they snapped at the golem's hard rocky surface, but under the Ant King's barrage, the rock golem easily cracked and deformed terribly.

When Elder Evergreen tried to swat the Ant King away, the Ant King would quickly evade the swing and rain another barrage of attacks until each limb on the rock golem were disabled.

The rock golem was strong! But it was equally slow! Meanwhile, not only was the Ant King strong, it was equally fast!

They were not on the same level!

Lilith showed a worried look while everyone was stunned by how quick the situation changed.

…

Standing on the deck of the new airship, while Faelyn and Marquis Haldir quietly enjoyed the scenery from up high, Leon had a frown on his face as he listened to the distant booms that reached them from the World Tree.

As the airship drew ever closer, these booming noises became more evident to the point that they could feel the rumbling earth despite being high in the sky.

Only then did the elven princess and Supreme Elder glanced towards the direction of the World Tree.

"Seems like something big is going on over there!" Faelyn pointed ahead.

Marquis scrunched his brows together and slowly sensed the ripples in the World's Laws, before saying, "I sense a powerful Transcendent fighting, but I cannot tell who that person is fighting."

"The Transcendent fighting must be Elder Evergreen. As for who the elder is fighting… we will know once we get there. At the very least, we know something big is happening if Elder Evergreen is the one fighting. We need to hurry over!"

"Your Highness, the main propellers are already spinning at maximum speed. The airship cannot go any faster unless we have some good wind."

"Then let there be wind!" Leon said domineeringly.

"What are you even saying…"

The airship captain was speechless.

He felt a wave of frustration in his heart as he thought that the prince was being unreasonable. How can there be wind just because the prince says so? The prince was not General Marquis Hendrick!

The airship captain was ready to talk some sense in the prince when he was quickly stunned silent by what followed.

Leon had made a grasp of the empty air behind him and brought it forward, after which came a rush of wind pushing against the back of the airship and propelled it ahead.

Swoosh!

The airship's flight speed was directly raised by at least 50%! This was the power of his Divine Will! Bending the world's elements to his will with a single thought!

"…Your Highness."

The airship captain gulped and swallowed the rest of his words that got stuck on the tips of his tongue. He looked at the prince with amazement and awe. He had never heard of the prince being a wind-user, but damn!

The prince was so domineering!

Leon did not pay any further attention to the airship captain as he faced the front with a troubled look.

The magnitude of the battle could be felt so far away. Obviously, whoever the elder was fighting was very powerful!

"Your assistance be needed very soon, Senior."

"I'll be glad to be at your service, Your Highness…" Marquis Haldir said as he slightly bowed with one hand over his chest.
