Damn! I didn’t even get any notification about it getting attacked! Don’t tell me he knew about the privilege of the city, and sealed this as well!

F*ck! I now wanted to meet this bastard more than ever.

“Come forth!” but first, I got to control the situation here. I thought about travelling from here to my capital. But this would have to be delayed for now.

I had to fight here first. And something told me this move here was predetermined. It was as if that bastard read through my mind.

*Fwoosh!* *Fwoosh!* *Fwoosh!*

My grand army of soulers appeared to cover up a large distance of this city. I also summoned dragons, flying monsters, and also my fallen gods.

“Kill!” one simple order was given, and the next instant bloodbath appeared in this city.

My boys were fierce! The mercenary race was like my Bulltors, giant, with a gem in their chest. But unlike my Bulltors, these had two big arcing horns above their bald heads, with hands ending up in spear-like two fingers, acting like they were big scissors.

Their legs were slightly arched, making me think they were used to jumping and hopping like Kangaroos.

They looked fierce, and they were already fighting against the monsters in this city plus a small part of my forces stationed here.

But the situation looked bad actually before I appeared. I didn’t know if I didn’t show up, what would have happened here!

The defences of this city were mostly inactive. I didn’t know the reason, was it a lack of manpower, or did that jerk use something else to paralyse my defensive towers here.

“Rise!” As I released my ground forces, it was time for me to take a better view over the entire battlefield. As I ascended high, high above the shield covering this city, I saw a frightening scene.

At least one hundred black portals appeared all over the place. They surrounded the city in a ten miles radius, gushing out armies upon armies of those mercenaries.

They didn’t come alone as they had armies of monsters to back them up. These monsters were like bears, giant bears with sharp and long claws. And they got a single horn from their heads.

“This… It’s bad!” I wasn’t just thinking about the situation here. If such a thing was repeated back at my capital, and I doubted it would even be in such a scale as it would be much bigger, then my forces back there were on the verge of annihilation.

The biggest support here was the shield. But that shield was something broken by these forces easily. They passed it like the shield wasn’t there at all.

But with my boy’s sudden appearance, the tide was shifted entirely to my side. The hostile mercenary-monster combined forces inside the city were getting butchered with my boys.

The more they killed, the more came in to replenish the loss. This reminded me of the current quest situation somehow.

“Let’s see deeper then,” I activated my hawkeye skill and started zooming near these portals. Nothing much appeared there, nothing strange except for one…

“Damn! It’s… It’s you!!!” I saw someone the size of an adult human, cloaked all in black coat that looked like it was made out of fog.

Its edges were dissipating in thin air, while ending with orange sparkles like fire. It was a weird existence in the middle of all this. And as I looked at him, he seemed to notice my gaze, stopped whatever sh*He looked at me with a face covered in blackness.

Unlike the jumper, this dude was using black fog to cover up his face. No eyes even were present there. But for a reason, I was sure he was looking directly at me.

“Damn!” Just for a long moment, we two exchanged gazes as if we were shocked by each other’s presence. But the next moment he turned around, and like my soulers moved, he flashed and floated over the ground, heading directly towards the nearest portal.

Damn! He was running away!

“Not a chance!”

I was finally able to steal a glimpse of him. How would I let him escape just like this? Without even thinking about it, I moved my chariot to flash and move with its highest speed, directly heading towards him.

Even if I was heading to the middle of all these enemies, I didn’t care! The thought never even crossed my mind! All I did was to just take out my two daggers, and without any hesitation threw the short one towards that running bastard.

*Bang!*

Just one hit… I just needed one hit… And I got it!

I moved fast, but that bastard wasn’t slow either. Once my chariot flashed, it felt like the entire world was running damn slow except for the two of us.

He accelerated towards the nearest portal, but his speed wasn’t that much compared to mine. I caught up with him while he just passed one leg through the portal.

And before he would move half of his body through the portal, my dagger slammed heavily at his back. It shone brightly while exploding its grenades of illusion at the same moment.

This explosion seemed to push away all the fog defending and enveloping that bastard, letting the dagger pierce through his back. It was done! My dagger tasted his blood. And no matter where he went, I’d be able to always find him.

“We… Will meet again…” a deep voice filled with anger and hatred came from him. For a moment I didn’t know what to say back. For a reason, that voice seemed a bit familiar.

It was someone I knew. But who was he?

“Who are you?” I shouted even when he was already gone. I wanted to know who he was, now more than ever.

*Roar!*

“Kill him!”

“On me!”

Just as I stood there in deep shock, I was jolted awake with such roars and loud shouts.

I turned around and realised I was standing in the middle of the grand army. My chariot slammed against the ground.
