Chapter 818: Battling the two marshals
*Boom*
Richard parried the attack from behind just in time but was forced back like a cannon shot.
*Swoosh*
Before he landed he felt danger approaching from above, so he stabbed the ground with his spear and forced himself to stop.
*Boom*
A moment later, an explosion occurred in the area he was about to land in, a hole more than ten meters deep appeared in the ground!
Richard didn't wait for the dust to settle, instead, he stomped his foot on the ground and quickly retreated, keeping his two attackers in his line of sight.
The person who attacked him from above was of course none other than Marshal Straga holding his short hammer... As for the person who attacked him from behind, it was a three- meter tall person, with a deep cut wound extending from his forehead to his chin, looking at him with hatred, it was none other than Marshal Dayroth.
Marshal Straga threw his short hammer several times in the air as he approached Richard with a big smile on his face, "Playtime is over, you brat, all those toys you control in the city will end the moment we kill you, right? I hope you're ready to die."
*Step* *Step* "No, he won't die, this boy is mine!!" Enraged, Marshal Dayroth's steps quickened as well
It never occurred to either of them that one day they would have to fight side by side against an opponent, and certainly not one this young! But something inside them told them that they had to get it over with quickly, that this was not the time for pride.
*Shwalaaa*
Facing two enemies each stronger than him individually, Richard ignited the green flame on the golden spear, then looked at Marshal Straga with mockery, daring him to come closer!
"You're courting death---!!" Before Marshal Straga could finish his shout, he was interrupted by a *Baam*
Richard pushed the ground with his foot again and charged towards Marshal Dayroth!
Marshal Dayroth was caught off guard and unable to take a defensive stance, so he decided to attack.
*Boom*
The second collision between Richard and Marshal Dairoth sent energy waves in all directions, this time the Marshal held nothing back in his attack and did not underestimate his opponent, Richard also took this into consideration and opened up the use of the stolen life energy in full.
*Rumble*
The two of them froze for more than a second, no one could push the other back, and the energy waves reached a devastating level, where they began to demolish all the residential buildings and statues, and killed a large number of soldiers and citizens!
"I will fuckin' kill you!!" When Marshal Straga saw that he was ignored, he bounced on Richard from behind
When Richard noticed the attack coming from behind, he tried to retreat, but *crack* Marshal Dayroth put all his weight on the sword, not allowing Richard to move an inch
"Haha die!!" Marshal Straga laughed out loud when he noticed what was happening and struck his hammer horizontally toward Richard's head, wanting to send it flying in one go.
But before the hammer reached the back of his head, Richard gave orders to the city.
*Shaaaa*
The ground beneath Richard's feet softened and he quickly sank down.
"Hah?"
Marshal Dayroth didn't have time to be surprised, as the moment Richard disappeared, a huge silver hammerhead slammed into his forehead!
*BOOM*
"Arrrghhh!!!" Marshal Dayroth flew backward, spitting blood.
"Dayroth!!" Realizing what he had done, Marshal Straga opened his eyes wide and jumped after his colleague to try to help him, after all, he had received a direct hit from him with his full strength!!
But *Shaaa* Richard rushed out from under the ground again and stabbed at him with the golden spear.
"You damned rat!!" Marshal Straga quickly jumped to the side to avoid the stab, but Richard was too close to him and managed to reach him!
The Marshal's armor was an ancient epic piece so Richard couldn't destroy it with one blow, but he managed to pierce the right side of the Marshal's armor and only managed to get the tip of the blade to scratch his chest before the Marshal could retreat!
*woosh* *woosh* After Marshal Straga retreated to a safe distance, he laughed, "Hmph, congratulations on piercing my armor, but that's the most you can do today!"
"...That's enough for me." Maintaining his cold expression, Richard pointed his spear at the Marshal's chest
"Hmm?" Marshal Straga looked down following Richard's gesture, finding his chest engulfed in green flames
"Hmph, just a silly trick, you think you won something now? Look at me crush your dreams!" The Marshal laughed and then flicked his internal energy toward that spot.
*Sholaaaa* But the flames grew stronger!
*Ba-dum*
"What's going on here?!" The marshal's heart pounded and his legs felt weak as the fire grew stronger, "Extinguish already!"
*Tchhh* A purple mist began to emerge from the Marshal's pores, covering the green flames. The flames seemed to be suffering and slowly fading, but then something strange happened, the green flames separated from the Marshal's chest and jumped towards the ground, disappearing into it!
Marshal Straga was forced to sacrifice some of his blood and use the Minor Corrosion Law just to force the green flames to escape!
He then quickly examined his body to see why he suddenly felt weak, "...Where did my life energy go?! What kind of black magic is this?"
In front of the Marshal's shouts, Richard did not respond but remained standing in place, looking at him with cold eyes.
He could have immediately continued the attack and not given him a chance to examine himself or even extinguish the flames so quickly, but he preferred to leave him and let him explore the damage of the green flame.
In any case, it is impossible to use the Life Flame alone to kill the Marshal, so why not use it as a weapon to intimidate him? Now the Marshal will think more than once before approaching Richard, no one would want to get in touch with these flames again after seeing what they do! "You filthy little human, I'll tear you apart with my teeth!!!" Marshal Dayroth emerged from the rubble again, shouting at the top of his lungs.
This time, his forehead was crooked inward and his nose was bleeding profusely. There was also a slight squint in his right eye... The hammer blow was no joke!
In front of the angry Marshals, Richard tightly gripped his spear and took half a step forward, preparing for the second round.
However, he involuntarily took a quick glance to his right...
He was currently using the life force he had gathered to fight nearly a quarter of a million Law
Users, dozens of warships, and over 350 Martial Emperors, and at the same time, he had to
keep some to himself to fight these two Marshals!
Even though he had the life energy of nearly 50 million humans and a little more of giants and demi-humans when he arrived in the city, it was still life energy, energy that could be harnessed until it ran out, and it was running out fast now.
If the life energy he pumped into the city ran out before getting rid of the enemy army, or the life energy he kept with him ran out before he killed the Marshals... he would be dead for sure.
*Baam* *Swoosh*
At this moment, Richard felt attacks coming at him from two different directions.
With the Marshals in front of him, Richard couldn't try to dodge or he would fall prey to them.
He had no choice but to burn the stolen life energy madly and stand still!
*Boom* *Boom*
Blades of wind from the left and lightning bolts from the right landed directly on Richard in a
huge explosion that changed the landscape once again.
"Humph, now let's see how he can brag."
"Haha, even if his father is here he will die today!"
From among the dust, two figures appeared, giving a relaxed military salute to the Marshals,
"I hope you don't mind our interference, we both know that the Great Marshals can win on their own but we wanted to speed up the process a bit."
"Granted." Marshal Straga waved, he was actually happy to see them.
They were the generals of the two fleets responsible for the siege of the city, each a Martial
Emperor of level 47.
The generals laughed but didn't come any closer, instead standing at a safe distance from the last point where Richard appeared, drawing a square of enemies with him in the middle.
