Following Spring Crown's clue, Linda sent their reserve troops into the Northwestern side of the capital. The World Maker's members at the frontline shouted commands for the zombie soldiers on that side to push forward. The pressure on the defenders suddenly multiplied.
While the defenders were surprised about the sudden ferocity of the enemy, a huge meteorite fell from the sky.
"F*ck…!" A player at the wall cursed when he saw this meteor was heading straight to him.
Everyone who had defensive skills used them. The meteorite hit the battlement. The wall resisted the impact. Its rune diagram flared as it resisted and healed itself from the damage caused by that powerful spell. Many defenders atop that battlement died from the impact, especially the players.
While everyone was still reeling from the shocking attack, a powerful voice reverberated in the air. It caused fear in many players' hearts.
"Surrender to your future God, you worthless mongrels, or I will put you all down!"
Master was seen floating in the air. His tons of summoned minions were with him. The ones that could fly, flew behind him. The ones that couldn't, ran below him.
Two spell formations were forming in the air. When the spell formations were completed, Sea of the Elementals and Waves of Hellfire washed through the ones who survived his meteor fall just now.
"What an ass…! He asked us to surrender but he didn't even give us a chance to answer!" One player complained as he ran at his highest speed to flee the deadly waves.
"Why? Do you want to surrender?" His friend who was running beside him asked.
"Of course not! I want to kick his ass, that's what I want!"
With that side cleared of the defenders, the zombie soldiers climbed up and started to fill that battlement. When they were just about to spread out, a large number of lightning snakes struck them. Many were obliterated simply from a touch. The surviving ones received large damage and were paralyzed.
"You finally show up, villain!" Another strong voice filled the air. This time, it brought hope to the defenders. Those who had run away from Master's spells quickly ran back to take care of the zombie soldiers who were paralyzed.
The voice was from none other than Jack. He flew using his gold dragon wings. He cast a spell mid-flight and turned into three people.
"Just after I finished having a good nap. You came at a good time. I'm ready to take you on, bastard!" Jack shouted.
Another powerful voice came from the other side. The owner of the voice barreled through the zombie soldiers and sent them tumbling out of the wall. He then flew into the air with silvery transparent wings on his back. He was Arther Pendrake, Themisphere's lord marshall.
"A good opponent after a good rest. Forgive me for abandoning my post, but let me fight this one with you, Your Majesty!" Arther exclaimed.
"A nap… A good rest…?" Master muttered.
In the battle below, the defenders started to regain ground. When he paid attention to it. There were many powerful combatants, both natives and outworlders. Many of the native soldiers were even Themisphere's special units.
Not to mention, there was also someone who should not have been here. This someone came before his summoned minions and uttered a yell. Once he did, his summoned minions which were rare elite grade and below turned to fight his zombie army instead.
Master knew this person. He was the first king of Themisphere, Theridan. This person should only exist as a backstory of the game. The only time it could exist to deliver an attack was when Jack used his regal outfit's ability. But right now, this past king was fighting as if he was still a living native.
Master used his Inspect and saw that the person was truly Theridan, except he was classified as an undead.
Seeing the description, he tried using his spell, Control the Dead, but his spell failed. He wasn't aware that he failed to wrestle control because the hold from the Chalice of Blood was stronger. Even if he was successful, Theridan would simply fade out of existence because he was not a proper summon. It was the chalice that tethered him to this reality.
When Master was still confused by the situation. Something lightning-fast slammed into him. So fast that he was already hit when he sensed it. He was sent tumbling through the air. If he didn't have his Ice Armor on, that blow would have cost him huge damage.
He saw that it was Jack in his lightning form.
"Final stage of the Lightning God Blessing…," Master uttered.
He sensed another attack and cast Teleportation. He appeared some distance away.
Arther failed to land his attack but he didn't stop. He made another swing and a large silver sword was conjured. This gigantic silver sword slashed at Master, who responded by casting Force Impact. The silver image of the sword was shattered.
Jack turned into a lightning bolt and again came before Master. When he slashed, his sword hit a solid rock instead. Master had used his Earth Titan Suit and turned into a giant golem. At the same time, thirty powerful and sharp wind blades lashed out.
Jack countered using Lightning God Barrage. The lightning balls and wind blades collided and sent elemental shockwaves all around the place.
"He shot thirty wind blades. His Wind God Blessing had also upgraded to its final stage!" Peniel exclaimed.
"Shit!" Jack cursed.
Master also used Earth Prison Wyrm which was now chasing Jack, but the Wyrm was too slow for Jack's lightning speed. When the wyrm was busy trying to catch Jack, it was split in half by Arther whose greatsword was shining with Ki Weapon.
As the three fought in the air, the Liguritudum army arrived and collided with the defenders. The defenders held their line. Led by Theridan with its pet, Therrax, as well as the summons he had taken control of, he stopped the Liguritudum elite soldiers from breaching the wall.
Weakest? Nothing of what Master saw here supported this statement. This might as well be the strongest spot from the enemy's defense. How the hell did Spring Crown's analysis get so wrong?
When Master was about to send Spring Crown a message asking about this mess, he was hit by another unexpected occurrence.
A system notification informed him that Spring Crown was no longer the World Maker's member.
