The Imbecile Lord Is Married to Five Beautiful Goddess

Alex's figure which was standing on a pile of corpses suddenly became covered with darkness. His figure started to melt like a darkish liquid and as it touched the ground it dispersed into nothingness.

The Arkham soldiers were already out of breath after traversing through the rough terrain and were startled to see a pile of corpses all around the place.

They searched for the enemy but they couldn't find a living soul around the place. They rushed to the place after hearing the cries of screams but as soon as they reached there, all they found was deathly stillness.

One of the soldiers felt a small tap on his shoulder and screamed in panic.

"Aaakkk!"

He jumped back and leaned on the tree and shouted"Oh! It's you, Lenny."

"Don't scare me like that."

"You are a scared cat," Lenny muttered with an amused smile and turned to look at others searching through bush and trees but as he looked back, he found his friend missing.

He looked around but stopped in his motion as he felt the fluctuation of light due to the variation of flames of the torch.

"Can't you even hold a flame torch properly?" He grunted and as he looked towards the man holding the touch, his gaze met with a bloody pair of eyes.

He saw a black mass of shadow with nothing but two blood-coloured eyes.

He opened his lips to scream but due to the excessive shock, nothing came out of his lips.

Behind him, there was no one and dozens of soldiers were missing as if all of them never existed in this place.

The black shadow extended his hand and everything in Lenny's vision turned dark.

Every time Alex appeared dozens of soldiers went missing and were engulfed in darkness.

The black shadowy figure emerged once again with no one in sight.

The darkness around Alex dissipated, and he muttered softly"It's difficult for me to control it for the long run."

It hadn't been even a few minutes and it already took a great toll on him to maintain this power.

Only after using it, he knew just how strong this power was and if one doesn't have a light element or any sort of divinity, the opposing person is doomed if the fight takes place in the night, especially in a terrain like this.

And Riya who is resistant to light elements due to human nature is a nemesis for the enemies. Alex shuddered thinking about Riya's mastery over darkness and shadow.

"Since, Riya is Queen of shadow. I should work forward to become King of Shadow." Alex muttered and moved forward to kill the next batch of shoulders.

Since Alex didn't use any aura or mana except when he attacked or used concealment, the opposing force found it hard to find Alex who had completely masked his presence.

Every time Alex moved, death followed.

"Aghhhh!It's that monster, Alex."

One of the soldiers was able to identify him and screamed his name which spread and alerted everyone but it didn't matter for Alex as the only thing knowing his name did was to add more fuel to their fear.

Soldiers from all around released their aura and rushed towards him.

The lower-rank beasts hiding in the forest fled away in fear, and trees started to fall one after one as the enemy's auras swept through the place

Alex retracted his sword and stabbed it forward, a sharp mass of condensed pressure which was shot due to Alex's physical strength erupted and made holes through everyone who came in the line of the attacks.

His images blurred and he appeared in between them and moved his swords.

Some soldiers tried to hold him and pin him while asking others to attack him. Some tried to die by taking him with them but all of them failed and were killed brutally.

One by one dozen were killed around him.

Dave who noticed the scene was shocked to see Alex fighting back with an overwhelming force taking everyone.

He had been looking for signs of others but still, now, the only one whom he found was Alex.

"This is simply insane," Dave muttered with disbelief.

"You haven't even seen the real thing."

"Hugh!" Dave jerked back as he saw Alex appearing quite close to him out of nowhere.

His mind was too stupefied to think about the attacks.

"What do you mean?" Dave asked while sweating profusely.

"The real attack would begin when you all would retreat. This is just me and my minions playing and warming up." Alex spoke nonchalantly and he smashed the soldier with the hilt of the sword.

"Playing...Warming up....." Dave's mind short-circulated after hearing Alex heard.

"Don't think too much. Focus on gathering your troops."

Dave nodded and asked hesitantly"Can I stay and take a look?"

"Umm!" Alex nodded and spoke, "But before that find your men and ask everyone to retreat."

Due to the attack of Arkham, the troops of Kinley had been split into many groups.

Alex fears that these people may lose their way and die uselessly so Alex had already sent some men to guide and take them away.

At present, he is just clearing the first wave of the enemy.

The real attack would begin when another side receives the news and after the soldiers from the third defence line retreat, the real fight could start.

While Dave heeds Alex's call and starts looking for the leftover troops.

The enemy kept on struggling while trying to pinpoint their enemy and shot them in the dark.

One of them observed the situation and spoke.

"There is just a single enemy."

"Everyone calm down. Don't disperse."

"Stay in the group. Form a team and surround the enemy from all directions."

Too many of them focused on a single enemy. They didn't know where and when the enemy would sprout out.

They were being killed without getting a chance to fight back.

As the group darted across carefully, a tree shook and fell on them.

They reacted quickly and ran here and there.

The fall of trees causes them to disperse away and Alex took his chance to kill them one by one.

The game of hide and seek went on for some time until Jack along with his troops received the news.

"Out of 1500 men, everyone is wiped out."
