Chapter 802: One man army
*Shhhh~~~*
Richard pierced through the void like a green shooting star.
Richard currently, in addition to his high speed as a level 45 Martial Emperor, was also using Life Fire to increase his acceleration. This high speed is unbearable for many at the same level, and they certainly cannot maintain it for a long time, but his body, which was accustomed to dismemberment, and his mind, which was tormented until it began to ignore pain, helped him reach this extraordinary speed... Perhaps only a martial emperor who uses the path of light or space can catch up with him.
"UGHHAAAA!!!" But the same cannot be said about the Shadow Sword.
The high speed of the flight struck the face of the shadow sword strongly, completely changing its features. If Richard had not deliberately tried to protect him, he would have been seriously injured by now.
"Sorry, but we have to get there before they defile the city," Richard reassured Shadow Sword, he knew what he was going through now.
'Hmm? This is..?!' Shadow Sword forced his eyes to open slightly to tell Richard that he did not mind... When he noticed a destroyed spaceship on the ground, it looked like a piece of junk, he began looking around for traces of a battle, but he did not find anything. It seemed as if the ground had split open and swallowed the entire crew.
*swoosh*
'The afflicted city of Yura?!' The Shadow Sword couldn't help but send a sideways glance towards Richard. He couldn't understand why he would bring him here in a place like this, 'Ah! What are these people doing there?!'
At this moment the city was teeming with uninvited visitors, there were thousands of them, many of whom were Demi-humans and the rest were of the rebels!
*Vroom* *Vroom* 3 massive ships could be seen surrounding the city as well while a fourth and fifth were approaching on the horizon.
*Swoosh* But Richard did not stop or turn to them, he continued on his way like an arrow toward the heart of the city
*Shhh* Suddenly he slowed down and began to descend, and they both landed inside a broken metal warehouse.
"Is this... A space portal? And it seems to be intact!!" The Shadow Sword ignored the pain he felt throughout his body, and his untidy hair, he was stupefied when he saw the portal.
The existence of the portal in Jura City can be considered a secret. Robin worked on it alone with the help of the Rune Masters who took the Oath, but this secret was leaked to certain parties after the invasion of the city. For example, the forces of the Flame Empire knew about it, and the traitorous elders of the Burton family, and these people may have leaked it to other people here and there, but it is still in the hands of certain people and on a limited basis, most of the inhabitants of the planet do not know about the existence of a portal here.
"Who's there?!" A shout from the side caught Shadow Sword's attention and made him quickly take out his weapons... In that direction were a number of Law Users, some of them humans and some of them demi-humans.
"You damned traitors!!" Shadow Sword shouted angrily, while Richard remained watching the situation silently. These people were examining the portal's control panel, apparently, they were trying to safely remove it...
*Swoosh* *Swoosh* 4 more individuals landed next to the portal and their aura forced the Shadow Sword to retreat, they took a few seconds examining Richard and the Shadow Sword before one of them opened his mouth, "Mid-level Emperor, huh... I didn't know some of you had the courage to move outside the Imperial Capital haha, boy... Do you know what happened to the ship No. 006 outside?"
That Demi-human began to advance toward Richard, his aura increasing with every step. The Shadow Sword had no choice but to kneel in shame, "High... Level... Martial Emperor!!"
"Are you what they call a general?" Richard asked quietly
*Step* *Step* The General moved forward until he was a step between himself and Richard, then he leaned down slightly until their breaths mixed, "You did not answer the question, what happened to my ship?"
"I wanted to avoid wasting life energy as much as possible, but I guess a general's head is not a waste..." Richard muttered, smiling.
"What are you talking about, you son of a--"
*Baaaam!!*
Before the general could complete his phrase, Richard fired a punch into the middle of his chest, penetrating it easily crushing his silver armor in the process. The general's heart was sent flying and exploded in the face of one of the other Martial Emperors in the back.
"You--You...!!!"
*Shwalaaa"
Richard did not allow anyone to say a word or show a reaction. The ground collapsed and thousands of metal and stone hands came out and wrapped around everyone's legs and necks and then pulled them down while screaming.
The other three Martial Emperors finally took action, one of whom attacked Richard directly and two of whom tried to quickly retreat, but all three of them ended up being caught and having their necks ripped out by the stone hands, before turning into mummies amid
miserable screams.
"Ah.. ah..." From the shock, the Shadow Sword forgot how to speak. Four Martial Emperors and dozens of Sages and Saints, all disappeared in split seconds.
After Richard cleaned around the portal, he hit the ground with his foot again, this time spending more than five minutes pumping green flame into the ground.
When Richard opened his eyes again, the city was filled with wailing.
Thousands of skeletons and stone hands came out and attacked the aggressors, and even the wells overflowed and attacked them with their water, and the walls jumped from their place to fall on their heads!
*Swoosh* *Boom*
Even the half-destroyed city walls rose up and sent their stones like cannons toward the five ships, and their towers turned into their fists and struck them.
Seven Martial Emperors emerged from the ships and were able to fend off the first few attack waves, but the stones of the wall were harder than they could have expected, so quickly they fell one after the other.
Immediately after them, four ships fell, and a green fire broke out in all of them. As for the farthest spaceship, it started its engines at the right time and was able to escape after
receiving a lot of damage.
*claak* *claak*
After everyone was put down, everything returned to normal. The skeletons and walls returned to their place, and the mummies were dragged out of the city and piled up to form a
small hill.
"...." Shadow Sword opened his mouth wide, and even the sound of shock he was stammering
was muted.
Only after several seconds did he speak to himself in shock, "This is... the power of the Crown Prince?...This power... Is not something a human should have."
Richard shook his head when he heard him, and faced him with a fake smile, "You're right,
this is the life force of millions of mortals and tens of Giant Emperors, I am only a mediator." Then he came forward and patted his shoulder, then continued his way towards the portal,
"Come with me."
