And with their sudden appearance in the open like this, I heard an earth shattering scream coming from nothing else but the direction of the incoming Hector army.

The portals gushed out lots of Hector people, ones that brought this disaster in the first place to my world.

The Hectors joined my apocalypse in response to the lady nymph’s actions before. She got lots of Hectors and news spread back to their leaders.

A human called Hye was amassing and hunting their people. The predators turned into preys, and the weak race of humans turned into such a deadly hunter.

When I thought first about how to drive those Hectors away from their den, and force them to move as I wanted, one thing popped in my mind back then.

That incident.

The Hectors responded in such a fierce way as to invade my apocalypse like this. It was easy to guess how immense the price they paid was.

In the end that proved to me one thing; that race had an ego to protect regarding their people.

So I contacted the lady, asked her to arrange the forces she captured and separate the Hectors in one group.

She managed to get as large as five hundred thousand of them so far. I asked her to arrange them into twenty groups, each roughly twenty thousand.

As I created the shields, I released one group inside. The Hectors were all bound to me by loyalty contracts, so they had to listen to all my orders.

I only have one each time, kill!

They were an arrogant race, with such superiority over other races to make them feel invincible. Turning such people to follow someone like me, someone who was of a lowly race they used to enslave, made them all angry.

So even if there were only twenty thousand of them, they could easily kill the hundred thousand enemies entrapped inside any shield.

And now? I released the rest of Hectors in the mid zone. As I rose high up in the air, I gave the same order again.

“Kill everyone, leave none alive!”

Of course they were facing up against many races here, the five big races of my apocalypse, but they didn’t show any inferiority to that.

In fact once they appeared, a big massacre happened.

Yet that wasn’t what I wanted.

What I wanted from all this was to let those two paragons lose their minds and step into my trap here.

It happened much faster than I expected. I thought the Hectors would take time before they’d realise the presence of their people here.

But it happened so damn fast, even before my chariot reached a high point in the sky.

That mighty roaring scream came not from one person, but from an entire army. As I saw from high up there, I saw the Hectors leading their army forward, ignoring anything else and started to force their way through the dense forces here.

They wanted to save their people, but to do so they had to fight those who were entangled with their kin.

In simple words, I devised this trap here to force the fight between the five races and Hectors. There was no time for any side to negotiate or talk peace here.

With each passing second, more Hectors were dying in the hands of the other races. And with the constantly expanding shields, the gaps of retreat were growing thin, leaving no room for these forces to break free from this.

They were all trapped in what one could describe as a big valley in the mountains. The entry and exit were thin and narrow, not enough to let these forces retreat fast enough.

Even if the archlords of their races told them to not fight, the Hectors I brought gave them no chance to do so.

After all they were bound by my contract and their anger, releasing everything on the faces of those useless and meaningless races around them.

Arrogance… I played over this feature of this race to bring them down. And it worked!

The hectors coming from outside were mad. Of course I didn’t do any of this before asking Lily first.

As she confirmed this to me, I had much relief and more confidence in doing this.

I did nothing else but watch. I already did my part and all that was left here for the trap to close up.

The shields were still expanding as they absorbed the energy of the world. At some point I knew they’d merge. After all that came in the description of that skill.

My aim here wasn’t to just lure these forces to hit each other, but to trap the paragons inside the midzone. Like this I’d force the rest of Hector forces to come here like mad dogs. And I’d be a hunter standing over the mountains and hunting them with ease and comfort.

Damn dude! You are really ruthless!

As the fight began to expand and all the forces here started to fight the Hectors everywhere, Fang sent this to me.

I just planned it well I didn’t celebrate early.

Shall I move out now?

Not yet I waited for this to escalate even further. The Hectors were busy fighting everywhere, but the shields didn’t merge yet.

I didn’t frankly know if their paragons took the bait and were in the central zone or not.

But I still had two cards left.

“Come into the central zone now!” as the fight in the mid zone was starting to grow calmer with the more Hectors gushing in, I had to stir things up.

As I went through all the ten shields around and gave this order to the remaining Hectors in here, I also sent another to the green nymph lady.

Send everything you have now

All the other races? Are you sure?

Send them all!

It’s your bones, ok

I just returned to the central zone. The appearance of the new Hectors from all the shields startled those in here.

But just before they could understand what was going on, many portals flashed and lots of different races appeared.

“Kill the Hectors!” and as the new races appeared, the races that lady nymph gathered so far, I gave them this simple order.
