"We will wait,

" I only said that and didn't explain further. I had my own reasons for that. One I was just hoping a chance would appear to give those enemies a strong blow before the big fight.

nAnd secondly I needed to waste some time. After all, Sara's part needed at least a couple hours to be done.

nSo why would I rush things up? Let's have some fun first.

n*Roar!*

nJust a few minutes after their departure, one of the dragons appeared first by his loud roar before he landed on the chariot.

n

"There is a big group of mixed races moving from the city towards one castle.

"

n*Roar!*

nBefore I could say anything, another roar erupted as another dragon came.

n

"I spotted a large group of reinforcements coming from the city towards one castle.

"

n

"ِAre we going to hit them?

" the jumper asked and I saw no need to answer him. Of course we were going to hit them.

n

"Get ready,

" I started to make my chariot move again,

"lead the way to the first group.

"

n*Roar!*

nOne dragon flew high in the air while the jumper took out two long spears.

"I like this plan,

" he said. Dude, if you knew my full plan then you'd love it more!

nThe distance between us and those reinforcements wasn't big. But we took a detour around one castle, to avoid clashing with their forces.

nOf course I wouldn't be stupid to go directly and hit them in there. From what I learnt, these races wouldn't have any support beyond the reach of their gates.

nJust think about it. The main gates were located in the city. Then how could they operate subsidiary gates outside it?

nOf course they could send reinforcements from their worlds through the gates, but that meant each castle would only have one single race.

nYet the dragons spotted many races in each castle. What did that mean? They dispatched supporting armies from each gate.

nOf course the large gates in the city would allow more troops to come here. And that meant the main reinforcements coming were from the city itself.

nAs for the ones that were already at each castle, they came from the subsidiary gates outside the city. I missed these batches while I was meeting Nero, but now I couldn't miss the reinforcements travelling from the city.

nIn less than five minutes I spotted a large number of mixed races coming from far. There were dragons hovering on top of them, many ground forces that looked like a myriad of all races.

nSelvators were there. Succubi were there. Even low grade races acting as warriors like Werewolves and Kobolds were there.

nFour big races were together, missing only one more race. I didn't think much about the missing fifth race as I simply took out two swords of mine, pointed one high in the air before lowering it towards the distance.

n

"Attack!

"

nWithout any hesitation, gates of hell opened over these enemies without any warning.

n*Boom!* *Bang!* *Rumble!*

nMy chariot defences fired and I saw many explosions happening at the incoming group of enemies. Of course if I was fighting them at their gates, things would end differently than now.

nBut the fight didn't last for more than ten minutes. Even the dragons in the air failed to pose any threat at all, even the Selvators couldn't exert their full power.

nAfter all they were all limited by the rules of the system. They were in a weakened state, and I didn't show them any mercy.

nI used my chariot offensive weapon energy pulse which left the enemy stunned in their place.

nAnd then my warriors released their arrows, killing anyone that was hit by these.

nAs for the dragons, my giant ballista was enough to reap their lives one at a time.

n

"Yeah, they deserve this!

" The jumper was laughing hysterically while throwing off his spears like they were stones. Each hit took one life of the enemies, but his killing efficiency wasn't anything closer to mine.

nAs for my chariot, I didn't leave it. I drove it to tumble over the bodies of the stunned enemies, crushing them under her big skates and the strong attacks of my dragorses.

nThis battle wasn't a fight, but a massacre! In the span of ten minutes, slightly over five thousand troops were killed.

n

"Time to reap the rewards,

" I instantly stopped my chariot and descended fast towards the bottom. When I reached there, I found the jumper had reached there earlier.

nHe simply jumped off the chariot, depending on his augmented physique thanks to his higher cultivation base.

n

"Aren't you afraid they'd send more troops to kill us here?

" as the two of us kept gathering our loot, he said in a tone that was filled with joy rather than worry.

n

"Let them come,

" I shared with him the same kind of joy. After all, my wallet was pitifully emptied before, and now it got swollen with a couple million coins.

"If they dare, we'll kill anything they send at us.

"

nHe laughed before we two returned after a couple of minutes to the top of the chariot.

n

"Lead the way to the next reinforcements,

" I simply said to the second dragon before sending the first to scout the next target.

nThe third dragon returned in the middle of the fight. He found a third group of troops coming towards a third castle.

nLike before, I took a slight detour around the second castle, avoiding any clash with their garrison. Then I slammed over the incoming reinforcements, killing all of them in mere minutes.

n

"Why are they in such a weakened state?

" After the third fight, the jumper seemed to notice this thing.

n

"What? Don't tell me you don't like them being weakened!

" I rolled up my eyes while moving towards the fourth group.

n

"It's just weird,

" he looked at me in suspicion,

"and it's weirder that you knew about that!

"

nI didn't explain myself. Instead I opened my channel feed and watched what Sara was doing. She was in the middle of a brutal fight against normal monsters.

nThe number of forces she led was already big enough to crush any wolf packs or hyenas. Despite having losses along their way, they were moving forward without pausing.

nHaving losses was a normal thing in the apocalypse. And they needed to toughen up and start to match the game.

n

"What do we have here?

"

nJust as we came towards the fourth group of enemies, I found the number looked strangely bigger.

nEach group before had few thousands of races and warriors, not exceeding six thousands. But this group was simply in tens of thousands!

nThe sheer size of this group, or this army, expanded to the horizon.

"They sent the armies from the nearby gates,

" this was the only explanation I could find.

n

"Will we retreat then?

" The jumper looked up at me but I simply grinned.

n

"And let such a big meal slip away? No chance!

" I raised my sword and led my chariot straight towards them,

"get ready to fight!

"

n*Roar!*

nMy warriors were already on a killing spree. They roared in unison, announcing the start of this bloody battle.

n*Rumble!*

nYet as we got closer, I saw many flashes of light coming from certain spots in the middle of their ranks.

n

"They are using scrolls!

" The jumper instantly recognised their attack pattern. As I did.

n

"Let them come,

" I shrugged, turned around and headed directly towards my beating heart of the chariot.

n

"Activating the full powered version then?

" The jumper followed me while watching my action in interest.

n

"I won't,

" despite saying that, I threw many stat points into that burning little star, making it rotate fiercer than before.

n

"You just threw two hundred thousand stat points at least in there!

" the jumper said in doubt and I shook my head.

n

"It's just a precaution,

" I didn't say further as I turned back and stood at the front of my chariot.

nAs I reached there, the attacks coming at us appeared clearly in my eyes. There were a myriad of fire tornados, lightning bolts, and giant water and ice waves that howled towards our direction.

n

"Will the chariot withstand this?

" he asked in doubt and I shrugged.

n

"We'll get to know the answer soon.

"

nUp till now my chariot only faced a deadly challenge of that godly tear before. Aside from that, all the fights we had so far didn't pose any real challenge to my chariot.

nThe enemy wasn't a fool. He knew his own weakness better than I.

nIf they came here in such a grand way, then they must have another backing plan, one that I already guessed.

nUnlike the jumper, I didn't watch the clash between my chariot's defensive barrier and those offensive attacks. I raised my head instead and up there I finally saw a sparkling red dot.

n

"Indeed they are using the same old weapon,

" I slowly muttered and my words attracted the attention of the jumper.

n

"Damn! That's the star weapon!

" he cursed before turning in a fierce way towards me,

"we need to run, or else we'd get hit!

"

n

"Have you ever wondered if the godly tear of the illusionists is stronger or the angel's star weapon?

"

n

"What?!!

"

n

"Keep attacking,

" as I confirmed my guess, I gave such order in a calm tone before turning back again and putting enough stat points to reach one million.

nThen I activated my chariot's fully powered version.

n

"Are you crazy?

" the jumper asked in clear fright.

"Last time we were lucky to escape with our life intact!

"

nHe was referring to the three combined hits we got when I first met him. Of course he had all the right to be scared. But who said we weren't without protection?

nThe star weapon wasn't like that godly tear weapon of the illusionists. It had stages that made its terror come in grades.

nI'd not say the two weren't equal, but the star weapon's fully charged attack would be on par with the illusionists' godly tear.

nBut to activate the star weapon to the fullest, more time was needed. That meant the angels would risk losing their target, which was us.

nIf we noticed the star weapon early on like now, we might simply evade its reign of attack and let the enemy forces here take its deadly hit instead.

nIf they did so, then they'd kill most of their forces and lose their target in the end. They weren't stupid to do that!

nSo they'd just activate the simple version of that deadly weapon. As I just arrived back to the front, and as I watched my chariot's barrier get strengthened by the fully powered version, the star weapon attack landed as expected.

n

"We are going to die!

" the jumper screamed in a strange panicked way. Dude, get a better hold over yourself! We wouldn't die here.

n

"Keep attacking!

" Even under the baptism of these deadly red rays, I didn't hold my chariot back and kept pushing it forward.

nThe speed of the chariot in the fully powered version was really remarkable! Just in a span of a few minutes, and just as the deadly star weapon attack stopped, my chariot created wide routes in between the enemy forces.

nNot to mention anyone standing near the chariot when we got hit was barbecued into dead fried meat!

nYet the deadliest weapon I had was the chariot itself! It moved like a grinding fortress, killing everyone standing in its way.

nWith its high speed, nothing stopped against it, not even when they used strong defensive items!

n

"Damn! You are ruthless!!

" even the jumper was shocked when he saw this. That was expected. After all, minutes ago he went on screaming in panic while I led my chariot and forces to kill as many of the enemies as possible.

nAnd in the span of half an hour, most of the enemies were killed and the rest ran already towards the nearby two castles.

n

"Let's get the loot!

"

nSuch a big fight meant I'd get a lot of loot. I didn't descend like normal and instead used a rope I bought from the market and jumped down to the ground directly like the jumper's way.

nAnd the jumper just followed.

n

"Are we going to keep hitting them?

" he asked,

"they already are preparing their counterattack!

"

n

"Let them try,

" as long as they didn't coward themselves inside their castles, I'd not flinch in front of their armies.

n
