Chapter 1027 Vita's War 2

Chapter 1027 Vita's War 2

To the north, Colonel Shadowheart led his regiment to conquer the lands in this direction. He was followed by the ten majors Elle Leone, Nightwalker, Money Lover, Noble Writer, Happy Saint, Bella, Warm Spring, Pedro Sousa, Hunter101Bomber, and Hades.

His regiment was full of power and pride, led by a calm and stoic man who was swirling a glass of the finest wine in hand. His tall, intellectual beauty was by his side, tinkering with something as she had the Magical Engineering Tradeskill to pass the time, and his brother in crime, Nightwalker, was currently tormenting Bella and taming her in the cruelest manner.

This was clearly an airship full of champions and winners, and none onboard expected anything less than victory. As such, when they hovered over the Area Zone to the north, which was called the Faraday Plains, they formed a huge deterrent to all the forces below.

The loose monsters in the various Field Zones screamed in fear, but were blown to death by the cannons and laser-like magical beams of the airship that rained down continuously.

Draco had been very clear from the beginning, he didn't care about the damage to the land, sea, or air. With his means, he could fix anything they did, even if they used Destruction Energy.

So Shadowheart chose the smartest strategy and just razed everything along the way. It conserved the energy of his troops and entertained the entire 100,000 regiment as they listened to the screams below.

The Airships used Worldly Energy to charge their shots, and it was in abundance, so there was no cost to this. The group could lounge around and let the airship gunners do the work for them.

However, after going forward for a few hundred miles, they encountered their first bit of civilization. It was a Kingdom called the Yuto Theocracy, and they believed in the Rank 7 entity called Yuto as a Mortal God.

As you could infer, the Yuto fellow was trying to gather faith energy to ascend to become a True God, but to do that required the Ministry Tradeskills as well as some special methods of the Church of Light.

As the Yuto fellow had neither, he couldn't even use the faith energy he gathered to do anything. However, as follower gods with a Rank 7 Church, the core members could harvest and cleanse it into divine Energy.

Of course, the Yuto fellow needed to be unalived to achieve that, but how could that even be a problem for the regiment here today?

Across all regiments, the lowest Rank was 5 for the NPCs and 4 for the players. With Suppression immunity, they only had one Rank of Suppression against Rank 7's, and with their Divine classes, Divine custom sets, and bloodlines, who was their match??

When they reached the army of the Yuto Theocracy who had moved out ahead of time to block them, the core members sneered. The majority of soldiers on the other side were Rank 1 with their officers being Rank 2 and their general at Rank 3.

The warriors didn't even need to get down, the army could wipe them out themselves using the guns. However, where was the fun in that?

Shadowheart waved a hand and allowed the army to deploy. 100,000 men and women against a force that was numbered around 500 million.

After all, ridiculous distances and sizes was Boundless' thing, and even the weakest kingdom could muster more than 50 million troops if they took in just anyone.

It should seem like the lower-numbered troops should be easily overwhelmed. After all, even if they were stronger, enough ants could bite an elephant to death.

But you see, that saying was super retarded because that assumes the elephant is just standing in one area like a retard waiting for death. If the ants can rush over to bite, he too could rush around and stomp.

Likewise, the power gap between Rank 5, Rank 1, and 2 was too great. Let's not put in equipment, stats, or skills, just the fact that suppression existed was enough.

Umbra and its people had been at lower ranks for most of their rise to today, so we always heard about how they were suffering from level suppression from bigger foes.

And yet with this, they still clapped their stronger enemies with relative ease.

You expected them to fall when they were now applying suppression on others after having become stronger???

What kind of drugs are you on homie?

Shadowheart, Elle, and Nightwalker did not move out. Only The others did and they proudly displayed their new classes or abilities one by one.

(Author's Note: Brace yourselves, here it comes!!!)

First was Hades who floated above the army and looked down with a callous expression. He changed out of his usual hoodie and now wore a black windbreaker jacket that covered his mouth, only revealing his cruel hazel eyes and sharp nose.

With a single finger, he pointed into the crowd and sent waves of dark light piercing through many of the soldiers. He then sucked out their Spirit and Strength stats, which weakened them greatly.

Using his two new passives, he waved a hand and the power entered their 100,000 troops, causing their power to soar greatly. Their eyes became bloodshot as the extra power made them go berserk and crazy for killing.

Pedro Sousa stood right in the thick of it, his extremely handsome and perfect form causing men and women alike to hesitate before slashing. His handsomeness was buffed by his Horned Demon and Dark Angel inheritances, causing him to be something that even vaguely approached the power that Draco had.

However, unlike pretty boy Draco, Pedro was more masculine in the sense that he was bigger, taller, and more chiseled with his features.

Pedro had inherited the broken passive that came with the Divine Rank Abyssal Prime class, but only the two relating to his Demon and Devin inheritances.

After all, the current him was at the same peak that Draco had been when he got his Abyssal Prime class, which was 99% bloodline purity.

With this power, Pedro was now like a Nuclear Fusion reactor, a perpetual machine of energy and power. His immense strength and less power caused the various soldiers to die in swathes like he was a farmer clearing weeds with an industrial machine.

He laughed crazily as his eyes became bloodshot, and every soldier before him wore the face of Vano in his mind. He was venting his trauma and hatred out on these innocent soldiers freely, feeling like his soul was cleansed.

These were the only two out of the group who had their classes intact and went from Rank 4 to 5. All the others previously had Legendary classes, and how now classed up to Divine, and they unleashed them for the first time today.

First, let's talk about Warm Spring, Xela.

She had chosen the path of creation, fully utilizing her connection with Nuwa to gain a class very suitable for her. Her Divine set was even more astounding in its power, and it perfectly suited her abilities.

She mostly used her ability to assist their soldiers who got lost in the slaughter and maintain their rationality. She didn't actually do much other than that because Creation Energy was a precious resource for her and generating it was even harder than making Divine Energy for a Titled God or Origin Energy for a Semi-Origin God.

It wasn't something she could splash wantonly. Her set actually helped with that, but that was for another time.

Next was Austin Wu, or Hunter101Bomber as he loved to call himself.

Austin was a monster on the field. He was right in the thick of it like Pedro, happily absorbing the blood that came his way. He only used ambient blood to form weapons that floated around him and continuously launched forward like he was some low-budget Gilgamesh.

After that, he would collect the fresh blood from these NPCs for later use while using some dirty blood he had stored from the monsters he killed to reach Rank 5 to form blood bombs and other weapons to effect his slaughter.

Monster blood could not compare to NPCs' blood, so he was not willing to even waste a drop, which was why he didn't oxidize or explode their blood. It would be a total waste, and he also didn't bother to absorb the stats of their blood as that would consume the blood completely.

Anyway, Roma had proven that even if you could absorb stats, each Rank had a hard limit because the body could only handle so much power at that State of Being.

Austin was also not hurting for stats, and his goal was mostly research from blood. He wasn't really interested in fighting all the time, but when it came down to it, he would certainly get down and dirty if necessary.

His Divine set also gave him assistance, but it mostly implemented his ability to control lightning and focus it which was largely ignored by his Divine Class.

However, the Blood Burning Lightning did exactly what its name said, so how could he harvest blood if it was all zapped into nothingness?
