373 Finally Cornering Him

In these few minutes of losing focus and control, I pushed everything I had towards that island. I couldn’t yet break that damn shield, even after all this time of constantly being attacked by my boys.

But that also kept that bastard busy, distracting his attention over many fronts. Before this didn’t matter, but now it did.

He was cursed, weakened by half the man he was before. So pushing him over the limit would make him commit mistakes.

And just as he tried to remedy one error, another appeared.

He tried to focus his entire strength over killing the ones infested with my energy. But in his attempt to do so, he seemed to neglect supporting his shield.

*Crack!*

It all started with one small crack that rapidly spread, zigzagged itself around that big shield and started to give birth to more cracks.

He realised it too late. After all, the kind of attacks coming at the shield wasn’t something normal. They were all the ultimate attacks of my boys.

And my boys weren’t weak.

Just as that crack appeared, more started to spread like the shield was made out of egg shells. That bastard tried to interfere as I saw many cracks healing at a fast pace.

But that was already futile. The next wave of attacks landed and made that shield explode like it was nothing.

“Kill!” and I gave the order. For the first time ever, I finally got control over this situation. That enemy was the one fearing for his life at the moment.

*Boom!* *Boom!* *Boom!*

My boys’ attacks landed and fiercely exploded. Just from the thick cloud of dirt that came forth I knew that island was already gone.

I knew it wasn’t enough to get rid of that bastard. After all he still got his suit, and much more tricks up his sleeve.

But that wasn’t the case for his forces. They would end up dying under my fierce attacks. And the surviving ones would fall under my technique clutches in the end.

So this large elite force he had from the start was decreased to such a messy and miserable state.

And that all happened thanks to my persistence and efforts.

*Fwoosh!*

Like a rocket launched from the ground, a single silhouette flew away from that thick cloud and tried to run. “Trying to escape, are you looking down on me?”

His speed was fast indeed, but it wasn’t enough. I had my chariot’s top speed, my fallen gods’ fast attacks, and my threads insane speed.

I just ignored the island and moved as fast as possible and in the next few seconds, that dude finally fell into all of this.

A shield appeared but it soon got smashed to pieces. Then my threads connected with his shadow, working their magic as fast as possible.

“Damn! It isn’t him!” I just realised it too late. As I controlled his body fast, I was surprised to see another person leaving from that thick cloud of dust.

He moved in the opposite direction than my current place.

But that wasn’t the question. The real question was… Was he the real person or what?

I just fell into that trap once, and I couldn’t let myself fall into such a trap again.

It looked more realistic to me for him to stay on that island. But also that flying away dude held a possibility to be that bastard as well.

“Screw it, I’ll attack all directions with everything I got then,” the only thing I could do here was to release my energy threads and fan these like a grand spider net.

This way I wouldn’t only hunt that running bastard, but also hunt anyone daring to fool me again.

Just as I did so, and before I could reach the second one that ran, many more appeared and ran in many directions.

It seemed what I did here startled and scared the sh*t out of that Hector dude. He knew he wouldn’t be able to fool me anymore.

So he had to throw everything he had, hoping to just evade his demise by a hair breadth of luck.

But dude… All the luck in the world would stand beside the courageous and daring people like myself, not the dirty cunning bastards like you.

In less than a few minutes, I finally managed to spot him.

Unlike the others, that one was moving at a higher speed. His suit was slightly different in size, armed with a really strong shield that could stand many hits without even showing a single crack.

I ditched all and focused on chasing that running paragon down. If I got him, I won this war. If he ran away, then… I’d still win it but not as big.

I kept chasing him. He didn’t stick around the battlefield anymore. He just went straight towards the portal, trying his best to escape.

“Not over my watch!” I didn’t hesitate to give the order and the next second, all my forces on the chariot attacked the portal.

It was still protected with the shield. But that didn’t mean the mighty explosions wouldn’t create a dead zone around the portal.

Let’s see if you could pass through such a zone of death without getting killed, pal.

We were already fighting miles away from the city and portal. So crossing this distance would take roughly from five up to ten minutes at most.

As he saw what I did, he shifted his direction, flew towards the opposite direction of me with all his might.

He was like a scared rat, running with his tail in his mouth, while this close from peeing himself from fear.

But that wouldn’t help, dude. You were already a trapped rat, one that would end up dying in the end.

“Hit him, now!”

Who said I just had my fallen gods on my side?

During the fight, I already scattered my flying forces around. Dragons with different sizes and strength, alongside the flying bubbled monsters I gained from the dungeon… All were fighting with their best abilities against the ground forces.
