General Asimon and General Albert were using the technique that the Third Warden used to fight Yuko. They were using the full potential of the parasitic essence eater in their body.
But the problem was that their opponent was too strong.
The commanders were nervous as they could see the energy that was seeping out of Souta's body. Because of this, they couldn't clearly see his face as the intense fluctuations of best feram were distorting the space.
All they could see was a hazy black figure with crimson energy oozing out.
Souta waved his sword and turned his head sideways. He saw that the prison collided with the fleets of the empire. The prisoners were jumping towards the ships to invade it and kill everyone.
This was also one of the reasons why he couldn't entirely focus his attention on the battle. His [Gravitational Ball] spell was still controlling the Catastrophe rank prison.
He then turned his head to the nervous commanders and generals. He smirked before he charged at them.
Swoosh!
"He's coming!"
General Asimon and General Albert said as they went to the front of block Souta. They prepared themselves and when Souta arrived in front of them, they quickly slashed their blades.
Swoosh!
Souta stopped and the blades slashed down in front of him barely avoiding it. He loosened his grip on his sword before he swung it towards the two.
"Avoid it!"
General Albert shouted as he raised his blade but then the vajra sword flew and sliced both of his arms. He gritted his teeth as he titled his head and the vajra sword grazed his cheeks.
'He threw his sword...?!'
It was close if he didn't manage to tilt his head. But then he noticed a red string beside his head.
Swoosh!
Souta attached a thread on the hilt of the vajra sword when he threw it at the two generals. He pulled the thread towards him and the vajra sword flew back.
"Albert!!"
General Asimon saw this so he swung his blade on the vajra sword before he kicked General Albert away.
Bang!
General Albert flew and he managed to evade the sword thanks to his comrade.
Swoosh!
Souta saw the incoming spell of the commanders. He tightened his grip on the thread and swung it around.
The vajra sword flew around while colliding with the spells that the commanders shoot at him.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
General Albert's hand already regenerated thanks to the parasitic essence eater. He quickly dashed forward with the intention to corner his opponent.
Swoosh!
"Don't be afraid! We have the parasitic essence eater in our bodies! Just avoid fatal hit and we could regenerate easily!"
General Asimon shouted as he charged towards Souta.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Souta exchanged high-speed blows with more than twenty enemies. The coordination of his opponent was better than he expected. It was as if they were used to fighting together. Every time he tried to chop the head of a commander, one of them would appear and block his attack at the cost of their body parts.
He was impressed. It feels like he was fighting a top guild from the game.
Still, the difference in strength was still huge. The only thing that they had was great coordination. They didn't have enough firepower nor an attack to heavily injured him. Their spells and combat arts were low-grade.
Also, he was sure that there was a limit to their regeneration.
He was a third evolution monster that had high-grade skills and combat arts. Aside from that, he also had high-grade equipment that widened the gap between them.
He couldn't compare to the dragon that they've fought before who only had pure power. Souta's strength didn't only come from his high status as a third-stage monster.
Souta grinned as he slashed his sword diagonally and a gigantic crimson energy blade flew out of it.
[Crimson Moon]!!
Boom!
The generals and commanders avoided it but the ship several hundred meters behind them was sliced into two.
'Before evolving two commanders already forced me to use [Possession] and [Soul Blood Mode]...' Souta said inwardly while looking at them. He was amused and he found it interesting to see how much he grow stronger.
Ohm!
Ten black balls formed behind Souta. It wasn't the [Gravitational Ball] spell instead, it was the [Shadow Ball] spell.
"Well..."
Souta smiled as the black balls scattered around and he charged towards the commanders and generals.
The two generals looked at the black balls several meters away from them warily but then they focused their attention on Souta.
It was hard to divide their attention. How they are going to focus on Souta if there are mysterious black balls floating around them?
They commanded five commanders to watch out for the strange occurrence of the black balls. After that, they went in front along with another five commanders to stop Souta.
Souta gathered his energy in his sword and once again used [Crimson Moon].
Swoosh!
The generals and commanders moved their bodies away from it. They couldn't afford to get hit by that powerful attack.
"How about this?"
Souta swung his sword repeatedly and energy blades flew out.
Dozens of energy blades flew towards the generals and commanders. Although it wasn't as powerful as the crimson energy blade, it still contained a huge amount of energy that could damage their bodies.
They tightened their muscles and circulated their mana around to strengthen their bodies.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A series of energy blades flew and they tried to avoid it while they were slashing some of the energy blades but after stopping a few blades they felt their muscles going numb.
It's too strong...
"Argh!!"
A loud scream echoed behind them. They were avoiding and blocking the energy blades so they didn't have a time to look back. But what they didn't know was that Souta was already behind.
"The enemy is here!!"
One of the commanders shouted. The two generals were surprised but they didn't dare to look behind. They were too busy with these energy blades.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Suddenly, a black mist covered everything. It spread out and enveloped a huge part of the sky.
The ground troops looked at the sky that was being covered by black mist. They thought that it was a simple black cloud at first but after sensing the best feram within, they guessed that it wasn't normal.
The black mist range was three times larger than before. More than five kilometers of space in the sky was enveloped by it. Even the approaching fleet of the wardens was swallowed.
Darkness. It was all they could see in this black mist. Everyone below B-rank got their sight stolen away from them. It was blinding them and it was taking their power away from them.
As such, this was the effect of the [Dark Cloud Hunting], a level 10 tier 2 spell. The same as his [Gravitational Ball] spell.
Blood spurted out as the head of one of the commanders flew in the mid-air.
Souta waved his sword and blood splashed everywhere. "Hehe~ this spell decreases the strength of everyone and increases my strength." He said with a laughed before he charged towards the commanders and generals.
General Asimon and General Albert widened their eyes. They thought that they were prepared to fight but then they found that their preparation wasn't enough.
They couldn't move their bodies as Souta advanced while slashing the bodies of the commanders.
[Crimson Moon]!
[Cross Moon]!
The next moment that they've found was that every commander was dead. Their body parts were falling towards the ground.
Nothing could save them, even the regeneration power of the parasitic essence eater was useless once they were dead.
"Bye-bye..."
These were the words that they heard before Souta slice their bodies apart into tiny pieces.
A monster who had the skill and spell of a human and demi was beyond their imagination. This was the first time they've fought someone like him. That's why a tragedy like this happened.
Souta stretched his body and looked at the prison. He saw Yuko was shooting down the ships of the empire one by one. Some of the prisoners took over the ships of the empire but they couldn't do anything at this moment.
His [Dark Cloud Hunting] was affecting everyone so he canceled this spell and watched everything from the sideline.
Currently, they were fighting the fleets of the wardens but they were at a disadvantage. The combined fleets of the wardens were stronger than the generals and commanders. It's not surprising because this world was their territory.
Oh?
While Yuko was shooting down the ships using [Bestrou], Franklin, Torkez, and the dragon were fighting the wardens on their own. They already got the antidote and joined the battle to defeat the empire.
He was amused and surprised at the same time while watching their battle. When he freed them, the ordinary B-rank prisoners were separated from them. The three were imprisoned on the lowest floor and he could understand why.
The dragon was a third-stage monster so it was understandable. What surprised him was Franklin and Torkez.
Torkez was a rebel before he got captured. In fact, he was the leader of the rebel and he was the first one who discovered the creature called Parasitic Essence Eater.
Right now, he was using the power of a parasitic essence eater to fight a warden alone. He was powerful as the general that Souta just killed.
Franklin was different. He was a criminal that killed an entire nation before. That nation was under the banner of the Great Astley Empire so it possessed great military might. So how did he do it? It was simple. Franklin's mana was already liquefied making him a real A-rank powerhouse.
They were nameless in the game. They probably died by the attack of the World Serpent but their future has changed.
In the future, their names will spread out and they will shake the Great World Imperium in fear. Everyone will know them as one of the Thirteen Apostle Generals of the Blood Army.
