Chapter 87: Blood
After he got unconscious,
He found himself in a white space. Every corner he could see was only white space.
In front of him was a big portal where he could see what was happening outside.
He tried to move towards the portal but failed. Something was blocking him from moving.
Ank also tried to wake up, but his body was refusing to wake up. He could hear and watch everything but could not move his body.
What can I do now?
Damn destruction!
I will definitely kill you, damn!
He cursed destruction, but his eyes shifted and he saw a massive spear coming in his direction, and its target was the three princesses.
He quickly panicked.
Come on, body, just for a moment, wake up.
He tried every way to wake up his body many times, but he failed.
If he fails in this quest, he will not be able to protect Maya and Arthur.
Let's use the forbidden spell, he thought and tried to use it, but the system blocked him by saying he could not use it.
A massive headache started. My head, Ank shouted while holding his head with both hands.
Ank controlled his pain and once again started trying to wake up, but everything was in vain.
Tch!
Now Stone Plant Prince stopped in midair and threw another spear again towards them.
You will not be able to save them, and he moved towards Marek.
Now the spear came very close. Freya ran.
"Take him with you. Your sisters will protect you," and both Seraphina and Celestia came forward and tried to block the attack once again like the last time.
But this time was different. They both were ready to burn all their mana and life force to stop this attack.
This time we will not lose.
Before the spear came close,
Both armies were on the ground, blood dripping everywhere.
The sky became completely red. The ground looked like it was bathed in blood instead of water.
Every place was covered in blood.
Body parts of both humans and Stone Plant monsters were spread all over the battlefield due to Prince Marek's attempts to block the attack to save his sisters.
One soldier murmured to himself, lying on the ground, half his body covered in blood.
Why was this happening to us?
Why were we losing?
He was the same soldier who was saved by the SHO Hero then they came.
Then a Stone Plant soldier came and pierced his chest. Blood started dripping on the ground.
The same thing was happening everywhere. Stone Plant soldiers started attacking again.
Commander Elyn watched this and woke up from the ground. Blood was dripping from her face. Her right arm was missing, and her golden hair was completely covered in blood.
On her left, Commander Adrian was lying. His lower half of the body was completely destroyed, both arms were missing, one eye was crushed, and half the skin of his face was removed.
He and Elyn were the only reason Empire soldiers survived this blast, but nearly 50 percent of the total army was now dead.
Stone Plant monsters had the same situation, but they did not care much about it and again started attacking.
All Stone Plant warriors had already shielded themselves from this attack.
A mysterious yellow light shielded the three princesses, erasing the shockwave before it reached them, but it did not stop the spear.
Elyn shouted, blood dripping from every corner of her body, covering her golden armor in red.
"We will not lose. We have come this far. If we lose now, how will we face our brothers and sisters who gave us this opportunity at the cost of their lives?
So pick up your swords. Let's fight until our last breath."
Cheers erupted everywhere. Soldiers started moving towards the Stone Plants.
Both armies were now clashing with each other, but the situation was worse for the Empire soldiers after that attack.
Empire soldiers were dying very fast, but the SHO Heroes were helping the soldiers, so no soldier would die in battle.
All SHO Heroes were dead. Only a few were left. Even the Blazing Sun was also dead. He did not survive that attack, but slowly his body started reviving.
The SHO Hero named Deathheal had the power to bring someone back to life within one minute after death, but he was not able to save his companion.
Luckily, at the last moment, he was able to save the Blazing Sun.
He was regretting his decision about why he came here, but as a hero, he refused to run. He made up his mind that he would fight until the end, even if he would die.
He was the only reason the Empire soldiers were able to fight.
The Blazing Sun was now fighting as many Stone Plant soldiers as possible.
The other SHO Heroes were also helping him.
On the other side, Prince Marek watched the scene and tried to rush towards his sisters to protect them, but he was blocked by leftover Stone Plant soldiers and warriors.
His mind became completely blank. He was now in a critical situation after using God's Weapon Skill many times. His body was aching with pain that was increasing every second.
He knew he would not be able to survive this battle and regretted his decision to throw his weapon without thinking about the consequences.
Suddenly he shouted,
"Brother Cyrus and Brother Ronan, help our sisters. I will make a way for you to reach them."
He started running towards the Stone Plant monsters and used his mana and life source to summon his God Sword once again. He started killing the Stone Plant monsters, creating a path for both of them to reach their sisters.
Prince Cyrus and Ronan both nodded and quickly started running.
Once again, the fight became very tense. The armies were now motivated because Prince Marek was using his spell at full limit.
Cyrus and Ronan were a few meters away from their sisters, but suddenly the Stone Plant Sword Magician came from nowhere and punched them. They both crashed to the ground, but he did not stop there. He summoned multiple swords in the air and launched them towards them.
The swords hit them, and both princes became unconscious due to immense blood loss.
Prince Marek became very angry and shouted,
"I will kill you."
Before he could attack, the Stone Plant Prince came in front of him, and his two fingers were on his forehead.
Marek did not notice him.
Then he flicked his fingers.
"Goodbye, Prince. We will meet in hell."
In an instant, Marek's body exploded, and only his lower half survived, landing on the ground.
He killed him in front of the whole army.
"Now your leader has died. What can you do now?"
He pointed his fingers towards the two princesses, who created a shield made of mana and their life essence.
"Now watch this."
He summoned millions of swords in the air, aiming towards the entire Empire army.
Every soldier's face became dark, and horror could be seen in everyone's eyes.
They started dropping their weapons one by one.
The SHO Heroes and other princes, including the commanders, were depressed, except for Elyn.
Commander Elyn shouted at everyone,
"How can you lose your will to fight?"
But no one listened to her. Their main focus was on the swords in the sky.
The spear hit the shield. From the impact, the mana shield started showing cracks all over. They had less than thirty seconds before the shield would be destroyed.
Both princesses wanted Freya to run, but Freya was refusing.
"I will not run. I will help you."
She started releasing her mana, which was far more powerful than her sisters, but still not enough to stop the spear.
Boom!
The shield cracked, and now the spear was one inch away from the princesses.
Ank also shouted,
"Stop!"
Then Ank's connection with the outside was cut off.
What happened? Why did this place become dark before Ank could understand what happened?
"ANK!"
Someone shouted in a sweet and very lovely tone.
Ank heard it, and he knew who had called him.
He knew the owner of the voice very well, and she had the power to erase all the difficulties and problems Ank was facing.
But Ank did not need this. Now he was in a situation where, if he did not ask for her help, he would surely lose everything.
Now destiny had come and was going to give Ank an offer, an offer that had the power to change Ank's life, but it all depended on Ank's choice.
