162 Chapter 162: The War part 4 (1/2)
Caesar, who was currently enveloped in a black mist, continued to slaughter the trolls in front of him. He had no idea that Charlie and a mysterious figure were plotting against him, however, he wouldn't have let Ahri evacuate in the first place if he didn't put enough precautions in place.
As such, he fought without worry, and the soldiers behind him slowly joined in the battle as well. Although they were fearful of the strange, black energy that surrounded Caesar, they were still willing to fight with him. The armored troops thurst their spears forwards and started to easily push back the panic-stricken trolls.
Bolts of arrows frequently flashed across their heads and pierced the nearby trolls' heads. Not to mention Ebisu and Soka, who were currently leading their own forces to strike the sides of the small troll army that they were currently engaged with.
Seeing that they were finally gaining some momentum, Caesar pushed even harder. He wanted to produce as much damage as he possibly could before their inevitable retreat. He was fully aware of the fact that although they seemed to be in a strong position, it was only temporary. The sheer amount of enemies would slowly start to overwhelm them.
Soon, Caesar's forces pushed through the enemy battalion and charged towards the main forces of the trolls. The other troll chieftains, noticing this fact, met them with a force twice as large. While the troll king was currently engaged in close-quarters combat with Musashi.
The middle-aged man who was capable of using light magic put his barrier down and helped the troll king fight with Musashi, while the hordes of trolls attacked Musashi's close friends and friendly combatants.
Soon, heavy casualties appeared on both of the bloody fronts. Although much more trolls died then fox-kin, a considerable amount of fox-kin still perished. Caesar's armored guard was almost completely annihilated and nearly half of Musashi's friends had fallen.
Unfortunately, Musashi, who was the strongest fighter present, was being held down by both the human and the troll king. He was breathing heavily and a large amount of sweat trickled down his now shirtless body.
He masterfully utilized his silver chain to both attack and defend, but to no avail, he could not penetrate the middle-aged man's defense, and Zul'thar's nonstop onslaught wouldn't let him rest.
Caesar who was closely observing Musashi's battle situation frowned. He glanced behind his back and couldn't help but grind his teeth angrily after seeing the vast amount of dead bodies and overflowing blood.
”Ebisu, take over for a few moments… If I don't make it back in under ten minutes, retreat” Caesar ordered and the black mist that permeated from his body congealed into a condensed ball atop his hand.
”Yes, sir!” Ebisu replied solemnly and bared witness to Caesar's departing back. He bounced on top of the many enemy heads and moved towards Musashi. His figure was noticed by many allies and enemies alike, however, neither sides could stop his intense momentum.
Caesar's silver hair flowed like a river and his eyes radiated a deep crimson as he approached Zul'thar and Musashi. The condensed ball of his authority gave off an ominous presence and frightened all of those he moved passed.
Musashi's bout with the two temporarily halted as the middle-aged man warily turned his head towards Caesar. He raised his right hand and a sword made out of light appeared, he then took off his white glove and a burning cross tattoo presented itself.
”In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.; Amen” he whispered quietly and a blinding light suddenly shot out from his body. He grasped the sword of light and slowly approached Caesar with seemingly overwhelming power.
His eyes radiated a deep, yellow light and his aura pressured all of those nearby, even Musashi. However, the blinding light that constrained the others only fueled Caesar's rage. He felt as though a power within him wanted to utterly destroy the middle-aged man.
As such, his speed increased even further and the congealed ball of his authority coiled around his long, and dark scythe. It was a battle between two completely opposite forces, and Caesar couldn't help but feel funny, a similar circumstance occurred back at Rahvin kingdom. Perhaps, it was fate that he would have conflicts with the church.
Caesar, wielding his scythe, soon appeared in front of the middle-aged man and heaved it downward diagonally, to which the man replied by swinging his sword upward. A huge and loud collision resounded throughout the battlefield and momentarily halted all of the battles.
”Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.” The man spoke whilst maintaining a calm expression as he and Caesar met with a flurry of blows.
”You spout bold words for someone helping an evil race such as the trolls… do you just simply watch as they **** and murder innocent children and women?” Caesar asked with disdain as he utilized his Ice and Authority to battle the man. He didn't care if he overworked his body, nor did he care if his mana reserves ran out. Victory was a must, his body and soul compelled him to win.
”They merely **** and murder women of the dark-races, such is treatment worthy of them. As long as they do not touch man, they are not to be considered sinners” The middle-aged man replied calmly and sped up his attacks.
His words caused Caesar to burst out in a fit of laughter, ”you know, it's funny, a child belonging to the church once preached similar nonsense, but in the end, he lost everything for his idiocy. You can not contain me, nor those of the dark-races” Caesar replied vehemently and also sped up his attacks.
Both blades, one dark, and one light, collided maybe hundreds, no, thousands of times. The loud ringing sound grabbing the attention of nearly all of the troops, enemies and allies alike.
