Greed All For What Chapter 766
Wipe. them. out.[ … words ]
[ … words ]
The Vipers have faith in their paragons and will not believe otherwise unless they see the deaths of their paragons with their own eyes. So Soverick’s attempt to besmirch their paragons with lies only spurred them on. They became emboldened and they fought to wipe out the disrespect on their paragons.
The battle raged harder than ever before. The battle sage monkeys were winning before but now they are winning faster. The morale of the staunch believers amongst the Vipers might have increased but it only made them more reckless. The Vipers were never an army so they can’t coordinate amongst themselves to fully utilize their numbers. Their defeat is inevitable now that their paragons are gone while the commanders of the battle sage monkeys remain.
Soverick soon arrived at the location of the flag of the Vipers. He flew above the trio and observed their work.
“So you killed 7 paragons? That must have been very cool.” Ghaster said to him.
His declaration reached everywhere within the arena so these three heard it including the Vipers and their remaining paragons.
He replied without looking at Ghaster. “I killed 6. Salvini killed the attack buff.”
His eyes remained focused on the shield. There is a cloud of phantom weapons numbering in the tens of thousands above them. The cloud will retreat for Salvos to turn everything in front of them into fire then the cloud of phantom weapons will return to attack the barrier. The area between them and the barrier has turned into a lake of bubbling lava. Even the air is simmering with heat.
Ghaster grumbled “Salvini killed one? That sucks. I wanted to kill a paragon.”
“It was the weakest one.” Salvin tried to appease him.
Ghaster shook his head and said, “Still, a paragon is a paragon.”
Salvos interrupted them to give an update. “The barrier has gotten stronger. It is not even flinching anymore.”
“I know.” Soverick replied, “But we don’t have to worry. The ball is in our court. They are the ones losing and will continue to lose if nothing changes. They will make a desperate move soon or we will win without any issue”
His words assured them so they continued their routine. The barrier has gotten stronger. The death of 7 paragons has made it so that all the connections can now be concentrated on the defense buff. The barrier is the product of all the connections available to them right now. He can see it fluctuating at a rate close to 2 million oscillations per second. That tells him there are still about 2 million vipers alive. That number is constantly reducing and reducing fast. Soon it will fall so low that there will only be 100 thousand Vipers left. They will be the ones behind the barrier.
He could try to brute force the barrier and break it but there is no need to do it. He has all the time in the world and can afford to wait. The same cannot be said about the remaining paragons. The sight of Soverick scared the hell out of them.
“He is here. Their champion is here.” The defense buff said anxiously.
“I can see that. I am not blind.” The immortal link replied with slight irritation.
He is not blind. He only has a mild case of headache. His headache has reduced since Soverick killed the recent 3 Paragons. Even when things were heated and his headache was very bad, he was not blind. So he can see that the furry that killed 3 Paragons in one second is finally at their doorstep.
She ignored his irritated tone and said urgently to him. “It seems you have to make that move.”
The immortal link sighed. He is reluctant to go that far but he has to agree with her. They have been pushed against the wall so to say. He doesn’t like to do what he is about to do but he has no other choice. He knows what their fate will be if he doesn’t make the move.
“Fine. But there is no turning back.” He warned her.
She turned back to face him. Then she said with determination, “Do it.
The immortal link did what must be done without hesitation. He stabbed his hand into her chest. His hand penetrated her rib cage. Then he flooded her body with his energy. She allowed it to happen without retaliating. She didn’t resist at all. Her eyes remained cold with determination as his energy reached critical levels. Then she was saved by the plane from suffering further damage to her consciousness. She disappeared from the world fragment.
The death of the last paragon connected to the immortal link made all the connections in the arena latch on to him. He is not supposed to be connected to the normal vipers directly. He is a heart for other paragons not a heart for normal vipers so the connections fell into him and pulled on any link he has with any other paragons. His ability to create links was further empowered to create an active link with someone that he is vaguely connected to.
The immortal link succeeded in making that active connection, then he pulled that paragon towards him. The arena cut off this world from the rest of the void universe but this seclusion couldn’t stop the immortal link from summoning the most powerful immortal power of this generation just like it couldn’t stop Soverick from linking with the people in the plane through his title.
A child of the plane is always connected to everyone that was born within the plane. That is so no matter the distance or barrier. Which means the immortal link is connected to the child of the plane. This connection is tenuous at best. It is but a single thread that connects them and the connection is passive. So the immortal link eliminated all the other connections it has to pull on that single connection. He called for help from his child of the plane.
