Chapter 502 Emperor's might
*Raaaaaaaaaawr*
*Rumble* *Rumble*
The Thunderstorm is still getting stronger.
Although the Thunderstorm doesn't seem similar to the one that struck down 6000 sages the first day they landed in Greenland, on that day, the Thunderstorm appeared out of nowhere suddenly, struck everyone in an instant, and then disappeared again.
However, this one's shape and aura forced everyone who was present that day to place their hands over their hearts out of fear and tension.
The place has become so dark that the soldiers can no longer see their fingertips; only from time to time the sky is disturbed by thunder, and it lights up for a moment. Only then do the soldiers see the faces of their comrades with panic and fear clear in them.
Even though the whirlpool strategy did not stop and all the soldiers were still moving in their designated circles, killing anything that approached them, the number of soldiers visibly decreased every time the sky lit up; in a few minutes, thousands of soldiers had already fallen from the side of the Sixth Legion.
The lack of vision and the oppressive oura above their heads made the soldiers lose the courage to fight as they used to. At the same time, the buds seemed as if their strength had multiplied several folds. Even the buds who were still conscious joined in the fight like the blank-eyed ones; they were battling like they didn't want to live anymore!
Red blood and green blood mixed on the ground into a painting that could only be described as hell, and that painting was still expanding.
*Rumble* *Rumble* *Rumble*
"Watch out; something is coming!!!" One of the battalions commanders shouted
The thunder filling the cloud above them became so intense that the sky began to light up completely again, but not in sunshine, this time in pale white.
"RAOR"
The giant bud let out one last loud roar, then slowly began to lower its hands.
"Ah-- look up!!"
The mouths of hundreds of thousands of soldiers fell when they saw the scene that looked like the end of the world. Some of them even stopped in place, allowing the buds to nun amok among their units, but for them, death at the hands of the buds now and waiting is not that different after all.
As the Giant Bud's hand descended slowly, the thundercloud also started to descend toward the ground.
"Cough! COUGHT!!"
Some of the soldiers at the Knighthood Realm started to suffocate and fall, and even the veterans of the saint or sage realms felt the pressure growing exponentially the closer the Thunderstorm got to the ground; if they stood their ground just busing themselves with killing the buds, then they would undoubtedly be dead even before the cloud touched the ground!
"I WILL NOT ALLOW IT!!!"
Jabba finally cut the distance between him and the giant bud, jumped from behind him while holding a golden war hammer in both hands, then lowered it with all his might on the back of the giant's head!!
*PAM*
"RAOR!!"
The giant bud growled in pain and took two steps forward, crunching before it managed to pin its foot on the ground again, but it paid no attention to Jabba after the first glance and returned to focus on slowly lowering its hands and pulling the Thunderstorm down!
*RUMBLE*
"What are you doing, you fat bastard? I am your opponent!!!" Jabba landed in front of the Giant Bud this time and cried out in despair before raising his hammer and slamming the Giant Bud's foot this time.
"RAAWWR!" The bud shrieked in pain and lifted his foot off the ground for a moment, but it quickly fixed it in place and focused on lowering his hands again; then he signaled to a few sage-level buds nearby, and they started attacking Jabba at once.
"DAMMIT!!" Jabba raised the hammer again and waved at the incoming buds carelessly, and a gravitational wave threw them away; then he came back to focus his hammer on one of the toes of the giant bud and crushed it completely, but with the same reaction, the giant screamed heartily for a moment and then went back to what he was doing, leaving Jabba in panic
The number of knights who were unconscious due to the Thunderstorm's oppressive aura increased terribly, and anyone who fell outside their unit, even for a moment, would have no fate other than death. The number of dead in the Sixth Legion just at this moment had already surpassed all of their previous battles combined.
Not knowing what to do, Jabba raised his voice and looked at the giant while still bushing away any bud that came near, "Hey, you fat bastard, even mortal buds can speak, so I know you can understand me; listen, I know what you're doing. Tree Father Hoffenheim's special ability is to create a thunderstorm and stick down the flying creatures, but you try to circumvent that ability by dragging the storm near the ground and killing everyone in one blow indirectly, but do you think I will allow this to happen? You are now completely at my mercy, and all your followers will not be able to stop me from destroying your body piece by piece! I challenge you, leave what you are doing and fight me man to man!!"
The giant looked down into Jabba's eyes directly for the first time since its appearance, as if he had finally acknowledged his existence, but he contented himself with putting a cruel smile on his face for a few moments, then returned to focus on what it was doing again.
In fact, this opportunity is enormous; Whether his guess is correct or not, it remains the fact that the giant bud, for some reason, is trying to focus entirely on the Thunderstorm. Suppose he continues to attack the giant bud like this. In that case, he will give the giant bud severe damage, and in the best-case scenario, he might even be able to fatally strick and defeat him, but by that time, the Thunderstorm will have reached a deadly distance from the ground, and the giant bud clearly knows this. What is the point of severely injuring the giant bud if the whole legion, including Jabba, were to be exterminated as a price for that?!
This is the legion that his master entrusted him with! These are the men he fought alongside for four years!! These are his comrades who trusted in his abilities as a leader and remained to hold their positions in front of that giant killing Machine without any of them trying to escape. Why were they doing this if not for trusting him? How can he give them up for a chance to injure a monster?
"AAHHHHH!!!!" He let out a loud shriek, then hit the ground with his golden hammer *BOOM* everything around him, including a few Bud Sages, turned to dust.
Then, he looked at the giant bud with eyes filled with anger, "You think you are so powerful because you have the strength of an Emperor?"
*VROOOOOMMM*
Jabba's body at that moment started to burn with a dark red flame; the flames got wider and higher, burning everything in sight, burning away even the dust around him.
"HEYAAAAAAAAAA!!!!" Jabba shouted a cry that shivered hearts as he looked towards the sky
Finally, Jabba returned to look at the giant bud as his veins began to appear and twitch on his entire body, his face, which was dominated by light blue color, turned into dark blood color similar to that of the demons, and even his eyes turned deep red as if the arteries exploded inside them!!
"I will show you the strength of an Emperor." Jabba opened his arms wide and then closed in a light motion.
