With Fertinier at the helm, the Heavensbreak plates dove into the blinding cloud of dust. All around me, the screeches of metal against metal rang out, clawing at my ears with a ferocity never seen before .
Three seconds passed, and the stone giant abruptly lunged out of the dust cloud. I ducked to the side with Wyrm, evading him as he slammed into a nearby wall.
A deafen explosion rocked the fort as a sizable chunk of the wall exploded forth in a shower.
It was a mighty ambush, but useless as long as it did not connect.
Back faced towards me, I found that his back wasnt as severely damaged as I would have hoped. There were scratches, but despite Heavensbreaks multiple attacks, his own defenses were too high for the plates to leave any sizable wound.
Theres no choice, then. Melee, it is.
This time, I did not wait for Fertiniers advice before diving in with Wyrm. While he was still recovering from his previous attack, I swung my greatsword as many times as I could physically muster at his exposed back.
As an Epic weapon, even his fortified skin wouldnt come out unscathed.
The stone giant seemed to have picked up on this as well. Rather than try to face his body around, he frantically crawled ahead, ramming through the wall and whatever was unfortunate enough to be in his path.
A great number of Ertalonese soldiers were sent flying, even two of my own magitek knights were affected.
Meat, you aint escaping from your fate that easily. Little brother, chase it down, dont let it get away!
Yeah. Yeah.
The stone giant fleeing wasnt lost on the troops present. Their flagging morale instantly collapsed when they realized their vaunted overlord reinforcement was trying to escape as well. To begin with, the volley of fireballs had taken a huge toll on their numbers; there were less than one thousand of them at this point. Their second wave of attack was only holding on under the premise of that overlord still being in the battle. As long as their overlord was active, victory was still possible.
Cowards! Fight me fair and square, if you dare! The stone giant yelled angrily, though he didnt seem all that hurt by their attacks.
I was already in the process of preparing for a dive when I saw a golden opportunity to shake him further.
Idiot, what do you think soldiers are for?!
The moment those words left my mouth, a surge of psychic energy hammered into me, encompassing my armor and the kids as well.
Whats going on? Where did this psychic field come from?
I immediately asked myself, but it was then that a voice started speaking in my head in a slow, soothing tone.
Submit to me be my slave do not resist If you do, your brain will implode submitting is the only way
Unfortunately for the owner of that voice, psychic suggestions like that were useless, Territory or no Territory. With the bloodline of the Lust Demon and the Illusion Demon in me, my psychic defenses couldnt be any stronger. Especially not when I had a Devil King residing in me; what was an overlord before that?
Even a Demigod might not be able to work his magic on me. And there was no way anyone would allow a mesmer to reach that level. This mesmer being an overlord was an oddity in itself.
I wonder how the Ertalonese king hid such a powerful mage and allowed him to become an overlord.
However, just because that mesmers suggestion did not work on me, did not mean the kids were okay
As the effects of the psychic Territory washed over them, their barrage fire stopped. Instead, their cannons turned ominously towards me
