Chapter 328


    The battlefield fell into absolute silence.


    The ckshadow Kingdom''s forces realized that their general''s head had vanished.


    Time seemingly froze.


    BOOOM!


    And then, a huge explosion urred inside the ck castle as several Mages were thrown to the side, the protection of their


    armor activating.


    When a Summoner died, their Companion Beast died with them.


    However, their other beasts stayed alive.


    And without the Companion Beast to control them...


    Seven Late Commander Stage beasts were now rampaging inside the castle.


    The seven beasts attacked the other beasts and unleashed their Elemental Attacks on the Mages and Summoners on the wall.


    At the same time, the ck shield around the castle dissipated.


    The ckshadow Kingdom had decided to use the general as the center for the Anti-Magic Barrier. After all, if they put the center


    inside the castle, the enemy might manage to break it by somehow destroying the castle.


    However, such a powerful Summoner could protect themselves, and they wouldn''t put themselves in danger. As long as they


    survived, the barrier would hold.


    This Anti-Magic Barrier was created with the Darkness Element, and it weakened enemy Spells to a point where they were no


    longer threatening.


    As long as no one managed to get past the barrier, they would be safe.


    It was the ultimate counter to the strongest force in this world, Magic.


    It was like a modern soldier with extremely expensive body armor, fully suited to survive gunfire.


    However, if someone came in close and strangled that soldier with their bare hands...


    The culmination of thousands of years of research and optimization would be beaten by the oldest and most primal weapon in


    existence, a human''s hands.


    The spear Shang had thrown had been made with Entropy Ore, and Magic had nearly no effect on it.


    It was simply a very hard piece of ore.


    It wasn''t magical in any way.


    And precisely because of that, the barrier had no effect on it.


    The Grandmountain Kingdom had managed to kill the strongest enemy with a rock.


    And the death of the general created a terrifying chain reaction.


    Mere seconds ago, they had an army of Mages, Summoners, and beasts, and they had all been standing behind a terrifying


    shield.


    Now, the shield was gone, and several powerful beasts were rampaging inside the castle.


    Themanders in the castle quickly assumedmand and ordered the Mages to kill the former beasts of the dead general.


    Meanwhile, Shang turned around and ran to his sword. After grabbing it, he jumped into the huge crater the ck fireball had left


    behind and leaned against the crater wall closer to the enemy.


    Shang was essentially in a gigantic trench right now.


    Shang quickly rammed his sword into the ground and created a huge hole.


    He jumped into it and put his sword over the hole.


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    Acouple of Mages were already throwing Spells at Shang''s location, and his surroundings were being destroyed.


    However, it was difficult to hit Shang from this angle, and his sword protected him very well.


    Shang was bombarded by Spells for several seconds, hoping that they wouldn''t manage tond a clean hit.


    Then, the bombardment intensified.


    But just a couple of secondster, itpletely stopped and was reced with distant quakes.


    The Grandmountain Kingdom''s army had arrived.


    The Mages were throwing Spells at the ck castle''s walls,pletely decimating it in the process.


    Without the barrier, it couldn''t withstand such an aggressive assault.


    The barbarians were charging forward at the front, but surprisingly, no Spellsnded amongst them.


    The ckshadow Kingdom knew that the Mages were much more dangerous, which was why they were fully focusing on


    destroying the Grandmountain Kingdom''s Mages. They ignored the barbarians.


    Several Mages of the Grandmountain Kingdom died, but even more of the ckshadow Kingdom died.


    The Mages of the Grandmountain Kingdom were dispersed, while the Mages of the ckshadow Kingdom were all gathered in


    one spot.


    Half a minuteter, the castle was turned into rubble, and it became very difficult for the remaining Mages to find a good spot to


    assault the Grandmountain Kingdom.


    The two leadingmanders noticed that the army of barbarians hade way too close during that sh.


    They hadn''t managed to decimate the enemy''s Mages in time.


    With gritted teeth, themander gave the order.


    "Disperse!"


    Shortly after, colorful balls of Mana came out of the rubble, shooting into all directions as several groups of beasts ran into the


    distance, the asional Summoners sitting on them.


    "Chase!" the general of the Grandmountain Kingdom shouted.


    The barbarians released a thundering war cry and shot after all the distant Summoners.Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    Now, it was Summoners versus barbarians.


    One Summoner was definitely stronger than one barbarian. A barbarian didn''t even have a chance against a Summoner.


    However, Summoners consumed a terrifying amount of resources.


    They had to strengthen each beast individually, which consumed a terrifying amount of food and Mana.


    Now, how many resources did barbarians consume?


    One barbarian consumed just a bit fewer resources than an equivalent beast.


    The ckshadow Kingdom had had around 40 Summoners in the ck castle.


    But the Grandmountain Kingdom had over 200 barbarians.


    In duels, the ckshadow Kingdom would emerge victorious.


    But these weren''t duels.


    This was a war.


    The remaining Summoners were quickly assaulted by a swarm of barbarians, throwing their minds into terror and panic.


    There were so many of them!


    And that wasn''t even everything.


    There were still several unaffiliated Summoners traveling around the gue Rat Zone to train their beasts.


    They weren''t powerful enough to join the defense, but they also weren''t weak.


    They knew that this ce might be attacked by the enemy, but the ck castle would keep the Grandmountain Kingdom at bay.


    It was risky to train here, but high risks gave high rewards. There were far fewer Summoners here than usual, leaving more


    beasts for the ones willing to take the risk.


    But today, these Summoners would regret taking the risk.


    Aswarm of Late and Peak Fighter Stage barbarians and even the asional Champion Stage barbarian wereing down on


    them.


    The Mages focused on chasing the other Mages and on officially conquering thend while the flood of barbarians fell upon the


    land like a gue of locusts.


    They killed all humans they didn''t recognize. Their power didn’t matter.


    They killed all the beasts they could kill.


    They destroyed all structures they saw.


    The Deepcore Turtle Zone had been bereft of farms andmoners, and the beasts could only be found deep in the caves.


    However, before the Grandmountain Kingdom had arrived, the Deepcore Turtle Zone had several viges, and there had been


    quite a few Soldier and General Stage beasts on the surface.


    Then, the Grandmountain Kingdom arrived.


    Now, the Deepcore Turtle Zone was very different.


    And the same thing was about to happen to the gue Rat Zone.


    On this day, fire and blood rained down on thends of the gue Rat Zone.


    The only area that was spared was the east, which was where the really powerful beasts resided.


    Everything else was turned into rubble and dust.


    The barbarians wouldn''t stop rampaging for three entire days.


    The gue Rat Zone belonged to the Grandmountain Kingdom now.
