Doomsday Pillars

Doomsday Pillars, Australia.

100 kilometers south of Alice Springs, stood the location of the Doomsday Pillar which was one of the three pillars visited by Alex and his team.

During the last 100 days, Alex and his entourage in particular had gone up to challenge three different Doomsday Pillars.

Starting with 10 floors on the first pillar, they then moved to 10 floors of the second and third pillars. After that, they went back to the first pillar to face its next 10 floors and so on. Fight, train, and fight all over again. That was basically all they did for 100 days in a row in this wilderness. It was no wonder that these 500 troops could reach the peak level of the Earth Realm. They had challenged 30 floors of these three pillars as well as consumed the meat of high-level mutated beasts on a daily basis.

Today, they would finally face the 30th floor of the third pillar. And this would be their last battle before they would be able to enter the challenge of the second Doomsday Pillar..

300 fighters had spent the past week fighting through the 20th floor to the 30th floor. From the battles in the previous two pillars, they already knew the opponent they were going to to face in this 30th floor.

The 300 fighters divided themselves into three columns and two rows. Each had about 40 to 50 people. The rest of the last group stayed behind to provide support and serve as a command center.

In front of these troops, there was a group of green-skinned monsters with a body size nearly twice the size of a normal army.

Hundreds of orcs lined up before them. Their "stance" clearly indicated to them that those orcs were ready to fight.

Dum! Dum! Dum! Dum!

The war drums sounded. This was also a sign that the orcs were ready to attack.

The three groups in the first row prepared themselves for the orcs' attack. The front commander this time was a man who was no less muscular than these orcs. This man with a red beard on his face stood at the very front. No slightest trace of fear, worry, or hesitation could be seen on his face.

"Let them come!!" the red-bearded commander shouted in a deep and resolute voice. It was a voice filled with confidence.

GRAAAH!!! 

The orc army had begun to step forward. They rushed forward their way faster and faster, getting closer and closer. There were at least over 500 orcs lunging at them at the same time. The scene was akin to hundreds of tanks moving forward, ready to crash at and flatten everything in front of them.

A month or two ago, these warriors would not have been able to fight this charge of 500 orcs. Much less fighting against an army of 500 orcs, even fighting 1 on 1 against these creatures would prove to be very difficult for them at that time. However, right now, all 300 fighters that were gathered here had all reached the peak of the Earth Realm. They were ready to go up against these orcs face-to calmly, without pressure.

When these orcs had walked halfway, a shout of command could clearly be heard from the rear row of the 300 fighters.

"Arrows!! Draw, Aim... Fire!!"

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!

The army on the rear lines was an army of archers. There were more than 50 people drawing their bows and shooting their arrows toward the incoming orcsm

[Longbow - Tier 1]

[1.2 meter long, weighs 10 kilograms]

A rain of arrows fell upon the army of orcs running their way.

Urgh! Ack! Graahh! Rrargh!

One by one, the arrows struck the orcs that were charging toward them.

"One more time!! Draw, Aim... Fire!!" the same voice commanded, bringing forth another rain of arrows to descend to the army of orcs.

Only with two arrow attacks, dozens of those strong orcs that were about to crash onto them fell. These artifact arrows were powerful enough to pierce the hard skin of the orcs and knock them down. It was obvious that one of those arrows would instantly kill those orcs if it were to hit their vital parts.

More than 400 orcs were quickly recovering, getting ready to charge at them again. 

"Shield wall!" shouted the man with the red beard. It wasn't a skill, but a command for the troops.

Promptly, the entire first line of troops took their position and raised their shields and spears.

[Tower shield - Tier 1]

[1.5 meters long, weighs 23 kilograms]

There were over 50 vanguard troops raising their shields.

"I don't want to see any of you fall!!" shouted the man with the red beard, raising the large hammer in his right hand and the shield in his left hand high.

[Stone Skin]

The man's whole body was immediately hardened into a hardness of stone. Immediately after, the burly man lunged forward.

"Insects!!"

BAM!!! The man lunged forward by himself. Initially, it seemed as though he was about to crash onto a giant wave and fall, but on the contrary, every orc that met his crash unbelievably flew back due to the impact of his crash.

Almost at the same time, another orc rammed onto the line of spears and shields.

BAM!!!

The troops in the vanguard held back with all their might and the troops on the second line helped in pushing back the ramming orcs.

Aargh! Hold on!!

They successfully held them back! The 400 orcs were unable to break through the line of the 100+ shieldsmen ahead. What a shocking incident.

A prompting command then came back from behind them.

"Spear!!!"

Following the command, the troops on the second line instantly unsheathed their long spears and immediately carried out a stab from behind.

[Long spear - Tier 1]

[1.6 meters long, weighs 14 kilograms]

Pa!! Pa!! Pa!! Pa!!

In that one simultaneous attack, more than 50 orcs fell one by one.

The red-bearded man was still in the middle of hundreds of orcs, but without signs of losing the upper hand, he just continued to laugh among the green monsters that surrounded him.

"Hahahahah, you guys are great!! I'm proud!! Now it's my turn!" His unrestrained voice could be heard loud and clear.

The burly man then used his favorite skill:

[Muscle Growth]

The hand holding the hammer suddenly doubled in size. Following the growth, he raised the hammer in his hand high and slammed it onto the floor.

[Earth Smash!!]

The floor in a radius of 20 meters from the hammer's blow immediately cracked, causimy dozens of orcs to lose their balance and fall.

[Earth Cracker]

[Hammer - Tier 3]

[80 centimeters long, weighs 32 kilograms]

[Special Effects - Extra Power]

[Special Skill - Earth Smash]

The Tier 3 weapon was swung to smash through the floor, knocking down dozens of orcs nearby. At the same time, there was another shout of command from behind.

"Blades!!"

Without delay, dozens of other troops wielding swords and machetes jumped in and broke the two orcs through the middle area which had been ravaged by the man with the red beard.

A combination of arrows, shields, and spears, as well as swordsmen with a high level of discipline who were deployed at the right time. Of course, adding it up with the personal strength of each army that has reached the top of the Earth Realm. Less than 10 minutes remaining 100 more orcs finally ran backwards

The man with the red beard still took the time to hit some of the running orcs with his hammer

"Haaaa you all cowards .. Come back here! I'm sergei ready to serve you"

[Sergei]

[Male - 34 years old]

[Earth Realm level 30 - Peak stage]

[Spirit Energy - Earth - Peak stage]

[Spirit Talent - Level A]

This red bearded fighter is Sergei. Former Russian professional wrestler who has followed Alex from the start. The peak of the earth realm and spirit is also added with tier 3 weapons, the strength of this fighter is doubled.

Sergei walked back to the line and saw the condition of the troops who had just fought, apart from the scratches and bruises it seemed that the line was fine.

Sergei Then looked at the person who had been shouting orders from behind

"Alex !! How good enough? "

In the Rearguard of the command center area, Alex was watching the progress of the battle accompanied by a man with a giant sword on his back.

"What do you think Colonel Arief?"

"Yes, I see the rows are tighter and each one looks more compact."

"Yes, I agree .. It's not easy getting used to these former soldiers to become close combatants, but it seems that after 100 days they are more used to it"

Alex and Arief, the strongest special soldiers of the Death Squad, spend a lot of their time training special forces to be ready for the next challenge. Not long after, the sound of the trumpet was heard again. This time it was seen from across the board a new troop joining the orcs who had previously fled.

"Ok, finally the real opponent has come .. This time we have to show the full capabilities of this troop .. Colonel Arief as usual this time too have to trouble you."

"Yes, of course Alex."

From across the party that had just arrived looked very different from the previous orcs, although they had similar body shapes but the opponents this time had black skin and all of them were wearing full armor and weapons.

They are the Uruk Hai.
