Chapter 1029 Burn
Chapter 1029 Burn
One thing was sure: The Tekur burned very well.
Their bodies were easily ignitable, and there were so many of them. Of course, the Divine Subordinates and Super Awakened made use of that. The first thing Michael did after Lilica and her people had been attacked was to burst into laughter.
Why?
Because the Tekur Lord in the Origin Expanse wasn't a Divine Tekur or a Demi-God. No. The Tekur Lord, located close to Michael's territory, was a Higher Lifeform. The Assassins who attacked Lilica were also higher lifeforms, but barely. They were 4th Tier Awakened and weren't ready for the rude awakening. They quickly realized Lilica and the Forest Elven escort were stronger than they looked at first glance. Lilica and the others obliterated the assassins quickly and moved forward to investigate the Tekur Lord, the size of his settlements, and the number of Summons and Awakened located in the respective settlements. When Michael heard about the millions of subjects and more than five thousand Awakened, we were a little surprised, but we shrugged in disinterest when Lilcia said that only 100 or so reached the 5th Tier.
The Tekur Lord and his people wouldn't be difficult to deal with. That was why Michael deployed Most Divine Subordinates and Super Awakened out of the Origin Expanse. They didn't need to deal with the Tekur and could help their comrades with the bigger enemies in the cosmos instead. They were brought to the planet civilized by the Tekur. It was a massive planet, yet most of it had already been civilized by the Tekur. Their numbers were ginormous as a basic scan discovered signals of the same life in hundreds of billions, probably even more. A more advanced scan would probably discover trillions of Tekur. But their numbers mattered little as only a handful of the lifeforms were Higher Lifeforms or Divine Lifeforms.
Their numbers were great but their potential so-so. Their Soultraits were especially weak compared to the Awakened from the Tritan Alliance.
Still, the numbers were great for Michael's main body. He would gain death energy and energy shares for every death caused by his people. Also, Michael would gain a lot from every Awakened slain. After all, Michael was going to drain SoulStar Fragments from every Awakened. That was going to push his fortune to a completely different level. "Failure is okay as long as you escape with your lives. I know some of you dislike losing more than anything, but I sure hope you value your life enough to say, 'The Tekur do not deserve the honor to kill me.'. Reserve that honor for a God, a Primal, or the course of time, okay?!" Michael roared toward the Super Awakened, not even batting an eyelid at the Divine Subordinates when he said that on the day of their departure
Only a handful of Super Awakened stayed back because they were either pregnant, their child would be born soon, and they wanted to stay back to be with their beloved to witness such a miraculous day, or they wanted to become the Guardians of the Origin Expanse's territories. After all, some powerful enemies may attack Michael's territories at all times. All it took was one surprise attack. The Guardian ensured nobody would suffer from the departure of the Super Awakened and Divine Subordinates. The Guardians would protect the Untamed Jungle and Sacred Desert with his life on the line!
That was great, as it alleviated some of Michael's worries. With a bunch of Super Awakened protecting the territories, alongside the jungle monsters, of course, Michael could join the Untamed Armies to beat the living shit out of the Tekur. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
In the past, the Tritan Alliance had been worried about fighting the Tekur, but that was mostly owed to the Tekur's Soul Techniques and the fact that all of their Soldiers and Elite Soldiers had been Lords with millions of subjects. The summoned Tekur couldn't use any Soul Techniques and didn't own any Soultraits or Spirit Armaments either. In fact, most Tekur Awakened didn't even have powerful Artifacts, nor did their Summoned Soldiers carry well-maintained equipment. Their equipment was old and of much lower quality than anything Michael had given to his people.
On one hand, that showed how badly the Lord treated his people, or how poor he was, and it showed how difficult it was to fulfill your responsibility as a Tekur Lord – summon millions of Summons to increase your Soul Power in order to strengthen your Soultrait's power – while treating everyone decently enough to strengthen their bond.
Lilica and the other Forest Elves were disgusted at what they discovered upon returning, and the Untamed Armies immediately jumped into action.
Michael had already ascended to a Higher Lifeform after months of Energy Vortex working continuously in the energy-dense Untamed Jungle. OF course, Michael helped a little bit with some Energy Stones, and some energy drained from the primal root, but the means didn't matter. All that mattered was Michael's ascension to a Higher Lifeform. He would join the Untamed Armies and help them beat the living shit out of the Tekur Lord. How dare he think he could attack the Forest Elves and stay alive?!
The Untamed Armies contained more than five million combatants at this point. That number should have been enough to crush any territory of a Higher Lifeform easily. However, the Tekur wasn't an ordinary race. They bred much faster than Goblins, and almost all members of the Tekur race awakened a War Rune. More than seventy out of one hundred Tekur would manifest a War Rune and become Lords in the Origin Expanse. Not many managed to become powerful Lords due to the lack of strong soldiers and Awakened in their row – Soul Power is their most important resource to fight – but the Tekur Lord in front of them was probably an Elite Tekur given the millions of subjects residing in his territory.
The Armies split up with the Golden Queen Bee, the Golden Stinger Wasps, The Behemoth Elephant, and Sun Demos' monkey army, merging into the armies of the Forest Elves, Silverfangs, Berserkers, Warlock Centaurs, and humans. The Behemoth Elephant charged forward head-on, approaching one of the massive Tekur Nests – they couldn't afford to build massive walls because their settlements expanded too often as their population expanded on a monthly basis.
That being said, the Behemoth Elephant pushed forward and squashed the defending Tekur Soldiers. They were minced to insect mash while the Golden Stinger Wasps and Golden Queen Bee teleported everyone around, moving the Awakened and strongest Summons throughout the Tekur Nest. They brought the powerhouses to where they were needed the most. That was especially so for the Elementals, the Elemental Empress, and the Red Dragon. Their firepower was needed everywhere, and that was where the Golden Stinger wasps brought them.
Michael didn't inspect everything up to the finest detail, but the fierce flames burning everything to a conder were impossible not to see. That being said, Michael focused on the battle ahead. He wielded the Mythical Spear and wore the Void Scale Armor. However, that was not all. He also revealed more than a dozen jagged Void Scales, which were only sheathed and loosely attached to the Void Scale Armor. He unsheathed them simultaneously, using Greater Psychokinesis, and released them in all directions, piercing the throats, eye sockets, and hearts of the Tekur Soldiers around him.
The Mythical Spear whipped around and thrust through the enemies' hearts, killing their Awakened on the spot, but the Void Scales, controlled through Greater Psychokinesis, caused more harm.
Then again, the Red Dragon did the Goliath portion of the work, but that was no surprise. The Red Dragon's mythical flames were super effective on the Tekur and the organic materials they used to construct and expand their Nest settlements. Carrying around the Elemental Empress, the Red Dragon, and Zeroa combined their power to burn entire Nest settlements in the following days.
Meanwhile, Michael focused on fighting the strongest Tekur alongside the Sacred Knight Temple.
