Chapter 457: Attacking The Strange Cloud
I watched as the ten giants walked in that invisible gigantic cloud in slow steps like they were hesitant… and they should be.
"Don't stop walking or else you'll die," I shouted just to make sure at the decisive moment their fear wouldn't end up throwing them into their deaths.
As they reached the outer region of that cloud, the cloud appeared and emitted sizzle sounds, yet nothing happened at all. "Keep moving," I shouted while waiting for what I anticipated to happen.
As I predicted, the secret here lay in no retreat to survive. Despite me not knowing what lies inside, I was too confident in my army's ability to crush it.
"Advance!" I pointed my spear to the front and the test of the small group left deeper effects than I initially expected. My grand army roared in unison as they moved towards the cloud with steady steps, even some ran.
I pointed to my giant to reach out with his hand and when I ascended his shoulders I patted on his as I said, "let's go, we'll have to support them as soon as possible."
He roared before taking the entire distance between him and that cloud in one giant step before entering through it.
The moment we entered I felt a cold feeling, like being thrown into water. "Damn! Couldn't you find a warmer foe?" I chuckled while my dear system kept his mouth shut. "Alright, watch me while I crush everything you tried so far, hahaha."
The moment we passed through the outer coat of the cloud and felt that strange coldness, I started to see endless shadows moving at the ground while having a bitter fight with my army.
"What the hell…?"
From my position I could clearly spot many human sized frost statues moving all around and fighting my army. I saw many getting smashed by my army before they would recollect themselves again and resumed the fight.
"What the hell have you summoned? Immortal bastards?"
I wasn't fazed by this, instead I was laughing. "No matter what you try, in front of my giant, nothing can stop me… go up front, the secret of all this must lie inside that fortress in the distance."
I could see the walls of the fortress from my high spot. The next moment my giant roared before jumping off the ground and running towards the forest. "What about them?" he asked.
"Ding Dong! Listen to your pet's opinion and stay and save your people," the system suddenly said.
"Oh… so sweet of you," I teased him before laughing viciously the next moment, "do you think I would fall for your little dirty trick? Hahaha, screw you my dear system," I turned to my giant as I added, "leave them be, when we crush the fortress then they'll be saved."
My giant nodded as he kept running towards the fortress. As we got closer, I could see the outer surface of it so clear from my place. "You savage! Even froze the entire fortress and the monsters inside… damn!"
"Ding Dong! I didn't do that!"
"Yeah, I did," I laughed before adding, "I just want you to see how much blood your hands are stained with, and in the end… no result, tsk," I kept teasing him while the only thing that stood between my giant and the fortress were those tiny dwarfs of ice.
"Ding Dong! Don't celebrate too soon, the big surprise is still up there."
The next instant I felt a faint tremble before I spotted something happening inside the fortress. It seemed that an enormous number of those ice statues came at once, coalesced together and started forming a giant statue of ice.
"Roar!"
That ice statue didn't even complete itself and it roared in ferocity that made my hair stand away under the effect of his vigorous shout. "Damn," I cursed out loud, "this is just too loud. Can you handle him?"
"Leave it to me," the giant said before adding, "but you…"
"Don't worry about me," I glanced over the fortress and the endless number of ice statues there, "I have another task to do. Fight to your heart content."
"Great," the giant laughed as if he considered this fight as a mere sport.
"Ding Dong! I strongly recommend retreating," the system said before adding, "Ding Dong! This fight will be brutal… leave it for your giant."
"Thanks for your kind consideration," I laughed, "after all it's good to be kind and humble so it won't hurt a lot."
"Ding Dong! What would pain me?"
"Your loss," I laughed while activating my mecha and the next moment I flew off the shoulder of my giant. "I'll leave this for you, lead him away if you can," I shouted before flying directly towards the fortress.
The giant ice statue up front was almost to get finished. It had a very huge belly and thick arms; all were made entirely of ice. Its head was nearly half of its belly size, and its lower jaw was so strange that I felt it would fall at any moment.
"Roar!"
The moment I got near it, it started to be restless and roared in anger. It opened its strange mouth wide open and then it started to suck in the air around.
But I didn't stand silent and moved as far as possible from its reach. Yet the next minute it sprayed its breath over me, filled with long ice spears and large ice rocks that moved in fast momentum towards my mecha.
"Activate the shields," I didn't delay in preparing the highest defense possible, "rise up fast," I controlled the mecha to move fast to the air while I kept focusing over the incoming attack with distressed face.
The mecha didn't disappoint me as it moved in fast speed, outrunning these deadly pieces of ice and soared higher than the entire attack.
Yet that monster didn't stop and moved its head trying to hit me!
"Damn!" I cursed before I kept my mecha rolling in the air as it danced, evading the incoming attack.
"Boom!"
