Chapter 1834 One Against A Realm. II
1834 One Against A Realm. II
"Night without end, shadows consume," Apollo gazed at them with a sympathetic look and uttered, "Eclipse."
Instantly, the dimensional pocket was plunged into an unnatural, impenetrable darkness, as if the night itself had descended to swallow it!
Some races had no problems with this as they had their own ways of sensing without light like Vibronoxians', but the majority were thrown into chaos!
"I can't see! I can't see my own hands!"
Antsy and concerned calls resounded in the area as everyone tried to make sense of the situation.
Without being asked, Lumina and the Gleamkin leader ordered their troops to share their light across the field to reduce the soldiers' agitation.
Alas, the moment their light met the wall of darkness conjured by Apollo, it was absorbed completely, vanishing into the void without a trace.
When the troops saw this, confusion and panic began to spread. Soldiers bumped into one another, unable to see their hands before their faces, let alone identify friends from foes.
"Focus your energies! Combine your light!" Lumina yelled, trying to coordinate an effort to break Apollo's eclipse.
The Gleamkin and Luminoans gathered, pooling their light into a singular, powerful beam aimed at piercing the darkness.
Yet, when they unleashed their combined force, the beam was again swallowed wholly by the eclipse, and its energy dissipated as though it were mere candlelight against a storm.
Before they could try harder and find a way to deal with the pitch-black darkness,Apollo's voice, filled with sinisterness, echoed through the darkness, "Feed, my pet. Let none survive."
Responding to its master's command, the massive abomination began its rampage, its massive limbs swept blindly but effectively through the ranks of the disoriented troops!
BOOOM!! Thuud!! Argh!!!
Most of the soldiers had their barriers and armor shattered with a mere strike, having absolutely no resistance against its destructiveness.
Meanwhile, the troops with great senses in the dark managed to evade the giant's attacks and tried their best to save the nearest soldiers to them, guiding them away from danger.
"We can't deal with the darkness, we have to strike fast!" Quantix Prime said with a stern tone.
"But, we are going to lose a great deal of troops and also power." Lumina frowned, "We need everyone involved in our combined assault."
"We don't have such luxury anymore. Either we strike now with what we got or we keep losing our troops." Timeon said.
With the top leaders coming to a decision, the rest could only trust in their perspective and follow their lead.
'Align your forces! We target the head of the monster! All units prepare for a synchronized strike!' Quantix Prime barked in everyone's minds.
With his order in play, the soldiers began to form a semblance of order within the darkness.
'Concentrate all light beams at my signal! We'll create a beacon to mark the target!"
Lumina informed out loud as she manifested a halo of radiant light that struggled against the swallowing darkness.
While it was faint, it did the job and gave everyone an idea of the target's position. The moment it got extinguished, the troops had already harnessed their strongest attacks and aimed their weapons at the pitch-black darkness, certain about their target.
"FIRE!"
Without an ounce of hesitation, Quantrix Prime shouted as he guided the synchronized attack with a powerful vibrational boom, targeting the spacetime frequencies on the monster!
Ka-BOOOOM!
His attack alone caused destruction like nothing else, shattering the spacetime plane and creating mirror-like cracks across its surface!
This left a gaping hole on the monster's head, where the dark creatures kept seeping outside of the spacetime.
Meanwhile, the rest of the strikes followed through, raining down on the monstrosity like there was no tomorrow!
When the bombardment was finished, silence clouded the dimensional pocket as everyone started turning to each other in the darkness, wanting to see their allies' reaction, but to no avail.
"Did we... did we get him?" whispered a young soldier, his voice trembling with the weight of the battle.
When he least expected an answer, he received it from his worst nightmare...
"Not even close..." Apollo's sinister voice reverted in everyone's minds, causing shivers to course down their spines.
Before Quantix Prime and the rest could react, the entire area was suddenly lit with intense blinding lighting, forcing almost everyone to reflexively close their eyes in pain!
"Shield your eyes!" Lumina bellowed, but it was too late.
Most of the troops had their eyes wide open, adjusting to pitch-black darkness before they got attacked by the flash.
As quickly as it had flared, the light vanished, leaving behind frozen solid soldiers...Their arms fell to their sides, their postures slackened, and their expressions blanked.
The only surviving soldiers were the ones unaffected by the flash like the Gleamkins. But, the rest? Regardless of rank or nation, stood frozen, their eyes empty, staring into nothingness.
"What the hell did he do..." Quantix Prime murmured with a stunned look, gazing at his own people also suffering from the same consequences.
"He can also control light...How..." Timeon was just as surprised, not expecting such a counter-attack.
None of them could be blamed as Apollo's darkside seldom utilized his light laws, despising them to the core.
Thus, he never used them in his previous conquests, making everyone believe that he was capable of only controlling darkness.
'I have seen such an ability...' Dankin murmured after getting reminded of what happened in the recruitment trials.
Unlike the rest of the soldiers, his armor and vibrational barrier were powerful enough to cancel most of the light brightness before assaulting him.
Thus, he survived it, just like the rest of the leaders, who had their own ways of protection.
'When he lifted his head, the first thing he saw was a crescent moon on the verge of turning completely black, high above. His eyes couldn't help but widen in shock when he saw it.
'It can't be? Bollo?!' Just as this thought took root in his mind, Dankin swiftly got rid of it, knowing that even though such an ability was too unique, there was a higher chance of both learning it than them being the same person.
Still, he couldn't get rid of the nagging weird feeling that they were somehow related and reached out to Quantix Prime to notify him.
After he was done, Quantix Prime analyzed it much more thoroughly. But, before he could start to connect the dots, the armies started throwing themselves at the massive void creature, allowing themselves to get consumed!
'Sh*t, I can't let my troops die like this!' Quantix Prime swiftly brought the Horn of Harmonies near his mouth and released a powerful vibrational wave at the minds of the affected soldiers!
He desired to brute force wake them by shaking their minds from Apollo's influence! Unexpectedly, his efforts were rewarded as the majority halted in their place while their eyes seemed to display some light in them again.
"It's possible to shake through it through noise!' Quantix Prime commanded his unaffected royal guards, "Wake everyone up!"
The royal guards did as they were told, breaking a group by another from the curse under the vigilant eyes of Apollo.
