902 Blood Sea
The Southern Region-- Near the borders of the Central Region
*Swoosh* *Swoosh* *Swoosh*
"Stop!" General Therin gave the order, and the 31 ships behind him all gradually slowed down and steadied themselves in the air after moving like threads of light
"According to General Parrs and General Mulad's report, the space portal is located somewhere in this area, but there are 4 cities within 100 miles... Check the radars!" The General quickly gave the order
"Yes!" Several pilots began pumping a stream of energy into a device on the side of the room
"General, wouldn't it be better to start spreading out first?" The General's assistant frowned, "That way we allow the demons to catch up with us, the advantage of rushing here will be lost like this."
"What's the point if we rush and spread out and then the army of the True Beginning Empire returns from that space portal and surrounds us, you idiot?" The general looked at his assistant like he was the most stupid person in existence, "...Let's destroy the space portal first to prevent any large reinforcements from arriving, then we can resume the game with the demons!"
"As expected of you, you've thought well!" One of the assistants laughed and started clapping, then winked at his colleague who had been yelled at a moment ago, who also began showering the general with praise.
"General, the most unbalanced spot in the space fapric is in the middle of that city in front of us, the space portal must be there." The pilot pointed towards the Winter Eagle City.
"Do a quick scan, how many soldiers are there?" The general quickly ordered, a few drops of sweat starting to fall from his forehead.
"...There are less than fifty, General!" One of the other pilots quickly replied.
"Haha, go ahead!" The general laughed and pointed towards the city, and the fleet started moving again.
He could have easily come with one ship to destroy the space portal, but he feared that the True Beginning Empire or even the demons had ambushed him here, so he brought the entire fleet with him.
Fifty? They must be the regular guards and maybe even the servants, the True Beginning Empire had already completely withdrawn, and it didn't seem like they wanted to return! "Is it possible that they abandoned the demon army? That's reasonable... If I were them, I would be afraid of an ally like the demons too..." "General, look over there!" The major pilot pointed straight ahead, there was a huge metal arch in the middle of a large square, that thing was unhidden as if they were announcing its presence on purpose!
"Haha, take it down boys, turn that thing into dust!" The general laughed out loud as he pointed at the space portal
"Ahhh!"
"The Enemies are here, we should leave!!"
As the general expected, the few remaining in the city were just servants and guards, there might have been a few Shadow Swords as well but they didn't fight directly… Today's mission was much easier than he thought!
But at this moment he noticed a strange scene, "Hmm?" There was a lone demon sitting on top of the metal arch… His features were like the rest of the demon emperors, except for his pointed chin, his white hair covering his forehead and his horns coming out of what should be his eye sockets, "…Is this the supreme commander of the demon army, Sakaar?"!
General Therin recognized him immediately, the most dangerous fighter who appeared in the battle of the safe city was still present in everyone's ears, this Sakaar was fighting several generals at the same time and killed one of them!
In front of thousands of small cannons aimed at him and a huge main cannon of the mothership, Sakaar sighed and slowly got up, "It seems like it's going to be a long day.."
The general quickly looked right and left in search of the army led by Sakaar, perhaps he had hidden it from the devices somehow, but when he found it truly alone, he raised his hand and voiced: "This is our biggest opportunity yet, launch! Let's get rid of the space portal and that monster all together!!"
*Woosh* *Woosh* *Woosh* *Woosh*
"Humph!" The destruction in Sakaar's veins began to boil violently and with his sharp fangs, he cut his wrist, a waterfall of blood began to flow unstoppably until it covered himself and the space portal in a split second.
*Boom*
The cannonballs collided with the waterfall of blood, causing a huge explosion, the resulting blood vapor spread with tremendous speed and force, pushing the warships backward until they collided with each other, and quickly spread outside the city until it burned all the guards and servants before they knew what happened.
"This…?" After the hot vapor slowly dissipated, General Therin noticed something strange… He still couldn't see the space portal due to the amount of blood surrounding it!
*Pshhhhh* Sakaar's wrist was still bleeding profusely, quickly and noticeably producing blood that could fill a lake, and it was still increasing, and from among those waterfalls of blood, Sakaar slowly emerged without a scratch on his body, looking at the fleet defiantly…
"You… What kind of monster are you?!" The general took an involuntary step back.
The ability of the *Blood Sea* that Sakaar created was not a type of magic or a technique that could be completed through a heavenly law only... After the development that happened to his body as a demon emperor, Sakaar discovered that he could change his body and transform it into any tool, he could change his arm for example to turn into a sword or his foot to turn into the claws of a monster. This transformation was something that all the demons saw as something new and a unique power that they aspired to, but Sakaar wanted to push its limits further... With some study while fighting Aru, Sakaar realized that this ability came to him due to the increase in familiarity with the blood law in their bodies in a tremendous way after reaching the emperor's realm, and he also discovered that most of their bodies were made of blood, even his bones were made of blood, and that is why they could tame their bodies to this degree!! Of course, Sakaar didn't want to write a scientific paper about what he discovered, but rather how to apply this information during combat... So he started drinking the blood of the corpses heavily, much more than usual, and this time he didn't leave it to be digested but rather controlled it and condensed it using the blood law that he felt had some power over, and then passed that blood through his body and compressed it more and more.
Sakaar thought once about relieving this pressure and letting his body grow gigantic, but he almost exploded, his body wasn't strong enough to withstand this expansion, so he thought of another way... to extract that compressed blood again and use it in combat when needed.
That sea of blood is the blood of Sakaar's many victims... It is his food supply if he is hungry, his iron defense if he is attacked, and his strongest weapon if he is faced with a strong enemy.
