The King of the Battlefield - Chapter 278

Chapter 278

It was supposed to be a tactic to confuse and shake the enemy troops . The dis-information succeeded in restricting their movements and sowing chaos among the enemy ranks . However, if the false information became real, it would become a problem .

‘I am not yet prepared . ’

Baal and Solomon are the two great Peak Existances . They had to be faced last after finishing everything else . Muyoung had been doing everything he could to make this happen . He had hid his forces, dispersed it, moved them separately to attack the enemies in converging columns . Of course, the downside in this situation was that Muyoung’s forces couldn’t be concentrated immediately .

One thing was sure . Facing Solomon in this state was a bad idea . Moreover, Muyoung and Dantalian did not know much about Solomon . Did he have an ‘annihilation condition,’ or did it even exist? Muyoung could not make a move without knowing .

He thought about Amon’s attack, Paimon’s intentions, and the risk posed by Solomon . Only Muyoung was aware of Solomon since Paimon remained a bystander even now .

‘A broken bicycle…”

The thought popped to Muyoung’s head . Muyoung had started off running and then just kept sprinting . He faced Demon Gods and moved on before their supporters sensed Muyoung . He had no brakes and didn’t even think of stopping . It was like a broken bicycle, and Muyoung had only pumped the pedals recklessly .

So, were the results showing now? There may be side effects to his blitzkrieg tactics . He had thought that these things could happen . Eating fast may upset your stomach, but Muyoung just didn’t have the time . His supporters and allies would become more stable as time passed . If the opposition was in disarray due to his tactics, they immediately collected their strength and swept the field . (EP: The eating reference is in Guderian’s theories about Blitzkrieg .  Rapid fire conquest without “digesting” the occupied territories could lead to unrest and uprisings . )

Since Muyoung knew what could happen, he operated quickly . He managed to use luck, skill, and other elements to cover what he could not prepare to come here . However, Muyoung was not at all prepared to face Solomon . Not one thing was ready yet .

‘Something is being prepared . ’

Also, Muyoung instinctively felt danger and that Solomon had discovered something . His instincts shouted to escape . But there was something strange . If Solomon, who even the Demon Gods feared, wanted something from Muyoung, he only had to take it .

However, Solomon did not try to harm Muyoung immediately . He was probably preparing to summon Diablo .

‘Solomon is unable to use his powers fully in this world yet . ’

Muyoung remembered Gremory’s words . If Solomon could use his powers, he wouldn’t need to summon Diablo .

Then, ‘Solomon cannot attack me directly . ’

Muyoung made a tentative conclusion . However, it was still dangerous if Diablo was summoned . Even Baal was wary of Diablo, and it was ‘impossible’ for Muyoung to face him alone . However, there was still time .

“What is wrong?”

Gremory asked in a tired voice . She seemed surprised that Muyoung was not moving . Muyoung thought over what should be done first and decided .

“Watch your back . ”

“Back…?”

“He is here . ”

“He is?”

“Solomon . ”

“…!!”

Gremory flinched . Her pupils dilated, and she seemed to be astonished . However, she had met Solomon once before . It might be possible for Gremory to buy them some time rather than Muyoung, who had never faced him before . If that was not even feasible, they had to move quickly .

Thud!

He kicked the ground and jumped . Muyoung stretched his wings wide and pierced the sky . He left behind a contrail as he flew to where Amon was .

There were thundering and crashing sounds .

Scenes of massacre surrounded Amon . Massive stormclouds scattered searingly bright lightning, and Amon was rapid firing massive fireballs with both hands . He summoned typhoons of wind blades to shred the demons flying at him by the dozens .

Hundreds of demons died whenever one of his spells shrieked .

At least among Muyoung’s troops, Crimson Balrog and Tacan were tanking the front line,  supported by Gremory’s protection shields so enemies could not break the Line . However, Amon was showing to the battlefield why he was one of the Seven .

‘Amon is the master of magic . If he feared Solomon, he must have researched a solution . ’

Muyoung was convinced that this was true . Magic was Mystery, and someone who wields Mystery should not surrender to it . Solomon was the Mystery itself, and to Amon, he was someone to overcome .

If Muyoung managed to bring Amon in, it might be possible .

But how?

‘Domination is difficult . ’

Muyoung had planned to dominate at first . However, Solomon’s actions were ominous . If Muyoung used too much of his strength, his efforts could lead to disaster .

Muyoung drew Grief .

With a low ringing sound, he let it wail and slashed sideways at Amon . The black thunderbolt flew straight to Amon with a violent crash . Amon grabbed it with his hands…

It was a fantastic sight . Amon had grabbed a writhing black thunderbolt, using the gloves on his hands .

‘Those gloves are made for magic control . ’

Muyoung knew that with a single exchange . Those gloves suited Amon due to their immense capability . Muyoung could not believe Amon had caught the black thunderbolt .

Amon threw the black thunder back at Muyoung . With a thundering roar, Muyoung was targetted with his own attack .

Muyoung raised Grief and sliced the black thunder into two . He was able to manage this because the first attack had not been his most powerful attack . If Muyoung had shot the black thunderbolt at maximum and Amon had reflected it, he could not have sliced it so easily .

“So, you are Muyoung?”

Amon stared at Muyoung with an intrigued face . Muyoung only stared back silently .

“How did you remove my geis and control Enroth?”

“Don’t you know already?”

It was simple . It was because Muyoung’s power, the power of his authority was stronger .

Amon also knew that . He had asked the question because he did not want to acknowledge this fact . Muyoung had touched Amon’s nerve .

“Well, I don’t . But…”

Amon dusted off his hands once, and transparent wind blades formed around Muyoung . There had to be at least ten thousand of them . Muyoung was impressed that he could form an overwhelming attack with simple gesture .
