Chapter 812: Epilogue (6)

With me!

I dove from the heavens like a blazing comet, carried on the magical wings of Wyrm, striking the dome-like barrier of the Ertalonese army below me.

Already on the verge of collapse, the barrier shattered like glass upon impact. Yet Wyrm continued plunging ahead. All it took was one more second and that army would have been done for.

However, that second never happened. A meaty shield had risen to block my progress!

It was a man raising a shield in hand that stood before me and my goal. A ten meter radius around us had been blown clean from the sheer shockwave of our clash. Outside, the soldiers that were thrown away by the sheer forces generated fared only marginally better than if they had just been struck.

Towering above the blonde, short-haired man with a shield, I sized up my new opponent. He was strong, or rather, he was pure muscle, like his head itself was just an extension of his chest muscles.

His shield seemed to be of excellent make. The fact that it was still in pristine condition after our cataclysmic clash was no better proof of that.

It was diamond-shaped, and was as tall as a tower shield, being able to cover the greater part of the man. From tip to tip, it was a pure hue of yellow, lustrous like fine jade. In the center was a fist-sized emerald cut and set mimicking the shield it rested in. Even from within Wyrm I could sense the abundance of Earth energies coming off it.Findd new stories at .com

Without a doubt, that shield was an Epic shield, bearing the same miraculous abilities you would expect of one.

Such a marvelous construct, never would I have expected that someone would be able to stand up to me thanks to mere armor. The blonde man spoke up first. His stance was relaxed, as if I wasnt even an enemy worth mentioning.

Likewise, I wasnt one to put much stock into the words of an enemy, especially since the kids were already charging behind me in their magitek knights.

Hold the breach, leave this guy to me! I barked curtly before rushing at the man.

Little brother, dont just stand there, hit him.

Suddenly, a familiar voice rang out in my head.

Big sis So that was your handiwork with Heavensbreak?

Of course it is, who else but your big sis would help you? Your big sis over here knows your desire to protect those brats, but theres no need to thank her, thats just how great of a sister she is!

Hah, you think this is the first day Ive known you? You just want those souls.

Despite my words, I was genuinely surprised that Fertinier was behaving so well since the start of this war. With how many dead there were here, I had heard nary a peep from Fertinier about harvesting them. Souls dissipated quickly when exposed, but they were still harvestable near the time of their deaths.

In all likelihood, she was concerned about keeping my identity secret. Tampering with a human soul was a capital offense in the human realms, after all. Munching on a couple of souls in secret was one thing, openly doing so was just madness. In fact, this battle would instantly turn into two kingdoms working together to get me

However, if she was the one to kill them with Heavensbreak, matters were different. Since her will was controlling those plates, she could harvest the souls through them as well. That way, no one would be none the wiser of her duplicity.

Oh my, our little brother has really gotten smarter recently. But dont worry, your big sis knows to be discreet.

Discreet or not, I had no choice but to believe in her.

Lets take care of the enemies first. An overlord soul is worth a hundred thousand of these mortal souls, so start hitting him!

Yes, yes. You dont have to tell me twice. Its not like I can spread the fame of our magitek armors by just being nice to him. And what else would be more shocking than slaying an overlord?
