Chapter 21: Winning The War
Chapter 21: Winning The War
'Sigh, he is one of my old comrades. The demon clan must have found his altar and then gathered it together,' Ren replied.
'Can we save him then?'
Ibro thought about having two ancient human altars inside his soul sea, as this would make his strength soar to a higher level. However his greed was destined to be disappointed.
'Unfortunately not, the demon clan had already killed his soul shards, so what remained now was just his ancient body,' Ren explained.
'Are you saying that he has no soul at all?' Ibro said with a doubt.
'Yes, he is like a killing machine now,' Ren replied before adding, 'However he only uses his sheer force against enemies. That might work against you, however that can't threaten me. Now I will go and let the soul of my friend rest in peace.'
Ibro had no time to say anything to Ren, who moved with great speed that didn't match his huge body towards the nearby giant. The summoning process of the demon clan wasn't perfect like that of the humans.
That made the summoned ancient human being take more time to appear in comparison to Ren, who just appeared instantly.
Ren didn't need to waste any time, as he already got the answer he was seeking for. So, once he reached the incomplete ancient human summon he didn't hesitate to put his palm of the hand over that human's head, while muttering:
"Rest in peace Teran, I will make sure to avenge you my old friend."
Suddenly the whole area bathed in blinding light that resembled the light produced from Ibro's runes. just as the whole world entered another era of silence, Ibro heard Ren's voice in his head:
'What do you want me to do with that fiend?'
Ibro was astonished, as he didn't think killing that giant would be done easily like this. Ibro thought he wanted to kill that fiend to finish the challenge; however he didn't need to do it himself.
'Kill him.'
Ibro just issued this simple order of kill, which was followed by a faint tremble on the ground that was followed by the return of the majestic voice again:
"Yonrak town has failed the challenge, Hepatia village is the winner. The final score is two to one. From now on, Hepatia village owned her sky territory and it will be opened for the village.
Hepatia village lord will gain access to Yonrak town in less than one day. Hepatia village lord will gain full control over Yonrak whole universe. Do you like a teleportation portal, or medal, or coin?"
Ibro was excited by this win, although the whole world was still shining with that blinding light, he knew everything was literally over. As for the universe, he had his own doubts about it, so he said:
"I choose a coin, however will that universe be under my control or I need to conquer it?"
Ibro didn't mind another war, however he wanted to know beforehand so he could plan it early on.
"You don't need to rage war there, the whole universe is under your control. You can visit it anytime using the coin, or you can summon anyone from there to help you here."
Ibro recalled the words of Hoden, Mamor, and others when he bought them from the market, they also came from conquered slaved worlds like this one.
"So, I can buy any soldiers, generals, and saints from there?" Ibro asked with great anticipation.
"Yes, you can do that through your market here," before Ibro could say anything else, the majestic voice added, "you can access all the details about that universe through the coin. Now the coin will be delivered to you, and good luck."
Ibro had yet so many questions inside him, however he knew he couldn't ask them one by one now. He had to seek answers for them himself, however he still had unfinished business.
The whole world trembled with the disappearance of that shiny light that came from Ren. Ibro glanced at Ren, who said without delay:
"You still have less than thirty seconds, do you want me to do anything else?"
Ibro smiled as he pointed down to the ground while saying:
"I want you to slash a few times before you vanish in the underground territory."
Ren laughed as he said:
"No problem, I will move my body a little before returning to your soul sea again. see you soon."
Ren then disappeared from his place. Ibro still didn't get used to this giant moving around like he was a panther. As the challenge was finally over, the previous restrictions over the three territories were lifted. Ibro had full control over the second level, the ground level, however the underground territory was still messy.
If he didn't reclaim his underground territory now, he would end up facing the same situation he faced when he returned to here. so, he would use the last bit of Ren's presence here to devastate these cockroaches.
Ren would buy him around twenty seconds, so he got to take over after that.
'Issue orders to everyone down there, make them head straight towards the cave entries to join the underground battle.'
'What about the sky territory here?'
Ibro looked around him before saying:
'Move my skeletons too to join the battle, then move me towards the village and let Hoden wait for me there.'
''
Ibro sighed, he really needed to take a break once in a while, however he didn't have the luxury to do that yet.
