The Will of the Giant Sun appeared in the distance. Its appearance was utterly terrifying. Its fearsome yellow flames truly frightened everyone.
They stared in shock.
But what truly terrified them was the sound of dense footsteps. It seemed the Will of the Giant Sun had indeed brought a massive, dense army, filled with monsters.
Yet, Clark's face was calm. He and Gene stood side-by-side, watching.
Clark quickly spoke, saying: "Now, Squad A1, get ready! You are the first to descend."
That squad grew tense; they didn't want to go down.
Clark swiftly turned to them, saying: "You don't want to descend? Fine! But do you truly not care about your families?
Some of you have mothers in the city, some have wives and children, some
have brothers. And I... I must tell you something truly important: This army of monsters will burn the city to the ground! Let's fight! Let's struggle! For
our loved ones! You might say: 'What does this man know? He has no one.' But my reply to you is: I have you! I fight
alongside you, and my problems are your problems. Don't worry, let us defend the country together, defend our loved ones! Or do you want to be the reason for their deaths?!"
A shiver ran down the soldiers' spines.
Bai Hu said jokingly: "He's moved me! Perhaps I'll jump down with them and fight." Yi Lian smiled: "He's truly clever and good with words."
The soldiers swiftly charged forward, attacking.
Clark watched from behind them, laughing.
They clashed, and the engagement with the monster army began.
Chahaya came to Clark's side and asked him: "Shall I use my ice now?" Clark replied: "No! Wait a little longer, then release it afterwards."
They fought courageously, but Clark merely watched and laughed. To him, they were just ants! Their death or life didn't matter. What did it matter if they all died?
Another wave of monsters appeared at the front.
Clark shouted: "Battalion B1! Go! Attack and cover your comrades!"
They all charged forward, screaming their war cry.
Clark called for the Mimic Horse.
The horse approached, bowing, still disguised as Alex's mother: "I have come, O heir of the Venerable One!"
Clark replied with a stern face: "Are you flattering me, you son of a wench?" The
Mimic replied fearfully: "No! I swear to you, my lord, I am just like this because I was raised this way." Clark said: "Fine!
Tell me: Is this the only army of the Will of the Sun?" "Yes, my lord, it is the only one." "Good! But I want to know: What
will happen to whoever reaches the core of the Will of the Giant Sun? Tell me!"
"The effect will intensify, and they will feel a maddening burn reaching their body and soul, because the true fire that
protects the core tries to kill you, not just drive you mad."
Clark laughed: "Good! That's what I wanted to know."
He pointed his finger at Chahaya to freeze the soldiers along with the monsters.
She froze them all. The sight of the ice was truly magnificent, shimmering. Then Chahaya used another technique: "Ice Shatterer"! It scattered like stars in the midnight sky.
The three Venerables, Brutus, and his brothers were shocked, saying: "Did you really kill them after all that?! You vile monster!"
Clark laughed, saying: "Of course I killed them! Isn't it fun? I stirred their instincts
with ethics and loved ones, gave them hope, made them think we were equals
and would fight together! But in the end, I sacrificed them! Oh, the irony! Nothing remains of them! They vanished from existence! Hahaha!"
Brutus attacked, screaming: "You monster!" But Clark's sword was too fast. Brutus's sword broke, and he fell to the
ground in shock. But... "How?! I, who thought I was my father's pride, my own pride, my country's pride! Defeated by this?!"
The Venerables tried to move to kill Clark, but Clark pointed to Gene to try his new power on the "rats." Soon, he burned them with Frenzy Flame.
Clark stood laughing: "Don't be sad, Brutus! I didn't kill you because your
time hasn't come! Believe me, I kept you and your brothers for a noble task!" Brutus turned: "Father! Look at this
devil and what he's doing! Please!" Minister Francis did not turn to them nor care, instead watching as they headed to face the Will of the Giant Sun.
Everyone descended to the arena: Gene, Clark, Bai Hu, Yi Lian, and Chahaya behind them for support. Clark said laughing: "Now the real battle begins!" They all charged.
The Will began to form into fists to strike them. But Clark used his embodiment and the blessing of Athena, Lady of Battles, and managed to break the attacking fist. Everyone endured its first attacks.
However, the next series of strikes were filled with Frenzy Flame. It was good they had gained resistance, but it wouldn't prevent them from being afflicted by the flame.
Clark blocked the strikes with difficulty, pushing forward to close the distance. Everyone charged, cutting through the attacks.
But what shocked them was the ground beneath them exploding with fire! Chahaya quickly froze it, but it had already hit everyone.
They were all shocked: What is this?!
Clark was furious: "Did I miscalculate? Or what?! I won't despair like a fool!" He quickly surged forward, destroying and cutting through the strikes, with Chahaya covering him.
Even she began to tire quickly.
Clark didn't notice that the fists of the Mad Sun were starting to tire because they were attacking on multiple fronts. He also realized: "I see! I can now use Annihilation for ten seconds and stop it for ten seconds!"
Clark shouted: "Chahaya! Lift me up to it so I can attack!"
Clark rose, using the feet of his embodiment to leap high into the sky. He used Annihilation! Now the Will's movement stopped, but the fire remained! The heat was extremely
intense! Clark's right ear began to melt! He screamed in agony: "Resist, my body! Damn you! Just one fire shot! If I can..."
The sight was awe-inspiring to everyone! Clark, deep within the Will, raised his hand with great effort! And... BOOM!!!
He unleashed his black fire that shattered the Will into small pieces! Declaring victory!!
