Chapter 392 – Battle(2)
Chapter 392: Battle(2)
Seeing the bowl in the sky turning bigger andrger without stopping, the high-level soldiers became crazy fighting Aakesh.
They wanted to kill Aakesh before the bowl couldplete itsplete ergement. They didn''t want to fight theva released by it.
"ng!"
"ng!"
"ng!"
The sound of metallic shes continuously rang in the area as Aakesh''s arrows shed either with the weapon of the soldiers or their bodies.
The giant soldiers had levels higher than Aakesh, and they also hadrge numbers, but Aakesh still didn''t get overwhelmed for even a moment.
***
"Is today the day?" The ruler, sitting on its throne on top of the fort,mented, seeing the scenes on the battlefield.
More than ten million soldiers on the ground were fighting Aakesh, while around one-third of them were in a direct fight with Aakesh. The remaining were long-range fighters, so they gave their fellow soldiers cover from time to time.
"What day, your majesty?" One of the higher-ups seated near the ruler asked.
He was the spear user that had seeded in killing Aakesh thest time.
The ruler ignored the question and continued watching the battle going on.
The spearman had expected something like this, so he also focused on the battle.
***
"It''s time for you to die," A cold female voice rang in Aakesh''s ears, and the next moment, a de passed through his heart.
The killer felt satisfied with her act, but when she looked at her de, she found it was too clean for passing through someone''s heart.
A sudden sense of horror engulfed her heart. Before she could even find the source of feeling, an arrow pierced through the back of her head. It then came out through one of her eyes.
"AA-"
She couldn''t evenplete her scream or turn around when another arrow pierced the back of her head.
This time, it didn''t pass through her head, but after piercing it, it exploded, resulting in the bursting of her head.
Aakesh didn''t even nce at her before shooting another arrow, aiming to kill another soldier.
Since Aakesh was in a direct battle with millions of soldiers having different levels and belonging to various races, giving even a second to a single opponent could prove disastrous.
Fortunately for him, he hadn''t gotten in the direct field with her in anger for breaking the barrier around him and giving him a wound.
He had done this because the bowl in the sky had stopped further erging.
As far as anyone could see in the sky, they could only see red, regardless of their level. It was the color of the bowl.
"Die!" Aakesh muttered with an expressionless face, seeing a spearing toward him.
As if the bowl was only waiting for Aakesh''s order, it turned over with an unimaginable speed.
"Drip! Chhish!"
"Drip! Chhish!"
"Drip! Chhish!"
The next moment,va began raining down on the ground, creating a burning sound when it fell on the soldiers and the fort.
On the top of the fort, the higher-ups acted. They then created a transparent barrier above them so that not even a single soldier got burned to their deaths.
The soldiers on the ground didn''t have such fortunes. With even a slight touch ofva raining down, they melted into a pool of mess, and then they got vaporized, taking away their proof of existence.
If the drop ofva touched the ground, it would create a pit.
In only a few seconds, countless deep pits appeared on the ground, while the soldiers continuously died inrge numbers.
The spear that wasing at Aakesh became the first casualty of theva.
Aakesh expressionlessly looked at the chaotic scenes around him whileva continuously poured down.
Not a single drop ofva touched him. A few meters of thend around him was clear of the rain.
Theva had enough heat, but it still wasn''t enough to kill the higher-level soldiers like the other ordinary soldiers.
If it only took one drop ofva to kill a Level 6 soldier, it took around ten drops to kill a higher-level soldier.
Their resilience gave them a chance of survival, so they wanted to breach the area around Aakesh, clear of any rain.
Aakesh ignored them since the rain was alive, and it knew where to fall.
Whenever a higher-level soldier attempted to breach the area, the pouring would turn strong. It helped in the intensity of the rain getting weaker, but Aakesh didn''t care.
While he was standing in the clean area, devoid of any life orva, he didn''t just stand there.
"…, Godatam Tatsam Uhapa…,"
He had begun chanting for the ''Voice of the Antiquity''. Since he had gotten free time, how could he waste it?
He knew the higher-ups would get involved in the battle after he shot it, but he didn''t care.
He was confident in the destructive power of the ''Bowl of the Annihtion''.
ording to his estimations, when theva rain ended, more than 95% of soldiers on the ground wouldn''t survive, three percent would have severe injuries, the remaining two percent would have shallow wounds, and they would only be the strongest of the batch.
As for the number of soldiers surviving the rain with no injuries, Aakesh didn''t believe it would exceed a single digit.
***
As expected, the higher-ups began frowning, hearing the chant of Aakesh''s arrow. They still remembered the scene of how the majority in the group had died.
"What are you waiting for?" One of the higher-ups looked at the higher-up who was an archer.
The archer understood what he wanted to say, so he stood up from his seat, went to the wall, and began chanting the mantra for his strongest arrow, while the remaining archers also began chanting the mantra to call out the sun.
The screams on the ground engulfed the sound of mantrasing from the fort, so Aakesh wasn''t able to hear it. Even if he heard it, he wouldn''t have cared much as he was in a battle, not a one-sided massacre.
It has been four seconds since he began chanting the mantra. It had even started affecting the rain in the sky since the effects of the mantra weren''t in Aakesh''s control.
Even the red bowl in the sky had several cracks spreading all across it, facing the pressure of the mantra.
Around 90% of the soldiers had already lost their lives by first getting melted and then vaporized into the air. Out of all the casualties in the war until now, only six higher-level soldiers died. They were the soldiers who faced the ferocious might of the rain after attempting to breach the perimeter around Aakesh.
"…, Antanam Gatnam Namah!"
At that time, Aakesh finallypleted the mantra.
Soon, the space above Aakesh cracked open.
Astu svIkarotu unmyati bhavataH amitraghna||"
When the space above Aakesh''s head had cracked open the required radius, the familiar voice echoed in the area for everyone to hear, sending chills down the spine of already fighting higher-level soldiers.
Simrly, the chanting on the fort came to a stop.
Soon, a sun simr to thest time appeared in the sky. Only through the crack was someone able to witness it.
While in the hands of the archer higher-up, an arrow appeared.
It looked simr to the ordinary arrows, barring the arrowhead. Instead of arrowhead, there were three heads, with eyes and mouths wide open in terror. It was called ''Cry of the Heads''.
The archer then nocked the arrow on the bow and released it, aiming at Aakesh.
Simrly, after the appearance of the voice, an arrow appeared in Aakesh''s right hand.
(A/N: For the appearance, please check chapter 373.)
After getting the arrow, Aakesh suddenly sensed a danger to his life. A terrifying arrow with three terrified heads wasing toward him when he looked at the source of the sense.
Aakesh didn''t wait for it to approach it.
He nocked it on his bow, stretched the bowstring up to his nose, and released it.
"Whoosh!"
The next moment, Aakesh''s arrow flew toward the ''Cry of the Heads'', tearing through the air.
While the bow in the sky had finally consumed all itsva, the pouring rate slowed down by a considerable margin.
The effect of the mantra also yed arge role in this, as severalrge cracks had appeared on the bowl, while the sun erging itself also harmed it, resulting in an early exit for the attack.
However, the arrow still did most of the work it was designed to do. The casualties on the grounds had crossed ten million, and more than a million severely injured soldiers.
***
"Get ready to enter the battlefield anytime," The ruler ordered the higher-ups as they focused on theing sh between two chanted arrows.
Thest time two chanted arrows shed, it had resulted in massive destruction, and today, the strength of these two chanted arrows couldn''t even bepared with thest time.
Hearing the order, they got serious and ready to jump on the battlefield anytime.
***
Aakesh, on the other hand, didn''t look for what the result of the sh was going to be. But instead, he focused on the sun appearing in the sky.
***
"Boom!"
An explosion sounded in the air as both the chanted arrows shed with each other.
The ck hole on the tip of Aakesh''s arrow attempted to engulf the entirety of the three terrified heads. The heads began crying out loud, resulting in the destabilization of space and the ck hole, which also resulted in continuous explosions.
The ck hole had the ability to devour and grow stronger, so it even consumed the destabilization around the space and continued getting stronger while the cries of the three terrified heads turned weaker with each passing moment.
