Chapter 157: Uxtan Kingdom vs The Kingdom of Twilight (2)

(Owen POV) 

"WARRIORS! RAISE YOUR WEAPONS AND FIGHT FOR THE KINGDOM! IF YOU DIE ON ME, I SWEAR I WILL CHASE YOU TO HELL AND KILL YOU MYSELF! PROTECT THE KINGDOM, PROTECT YOUR LOVED ONES, PROTECT YOUR FRIENDS, AND MOST OF ALL, MAKE THE QUEEN PROUD!" I shout to the bloodthirsty warriors below me. 

Blood red aura wrapped around us, and from the rumors, I could only assume it was one of the queen's skills.

I was suddenly filled with endless power as I rode on top of my summoned Tundra Wolf while leading the charge. It was a ferocious 10 feet tall wolf that towered over my army. White rough fur wrapped around it, and a slight light blue mist was constantly emitting from its body.

The mist dropped the temperature around the wolf, freezing most things which is why I was leading the army at the very front, about 10 feet away from the closest soldier. 

The Tundra wolf has massive teeth that are not only sharp but can chomp down on anything, breaking or smashing it in half. The wolf's scary presence had glowing ice-blue eyes that had slight cracks inside of them to top it all off. 

"RAWWWWR!" 

My wolf let out a loud cry that didn't match the cry of any other wolves. 

Tundra Wolves are special. Their harsh environment full of dangerous and massive monsters such as the Icicle Bear and Frozen Crawlers forced the small Tundra Wolves to adapt and grow bigger to survive. 

"ORAAAAAA!" The warriors shout, adrenaline pumping through their bodies. 

Just as Akitos army charged towards the left side of the human army, we charged towards the right side. I could feel the pressure of needing to make the queen proud. It weighed heavily on my shoulders, but for some reason, I was smiling. 

I couldn't tell if the smile was running off of pure adrenaline or I was genuinely excited to make the queen proud. Nevertheless, I had one job, and that was to overwhelm these weak humans. Induce as much despair as possible, make them suffer, make them fear us from the depths of their souls. 

"Ah, this is genuine excitement," I say, activating [Frozen Fire: Toketsu]. 

A long white and ice blue katana appeared in my hand. The white mist started to secrete from the blade, dropping the already freezing temperature even farther than before. 

I moved my mouth close to the white smoke and inhaled it. The cold feeling as it enters your lungs was addicting, and it calmed me down before battle. Getting too excited will lead you to your death. Getting too scared will lead you to your death. 

Be emotionless like a rock. There will be no hesitation within your swings or moves in general. 

[Frozen Wolf Eyes] 

My ice-blue pupils suddenly expanded and then contracted in just a split second. My pupils had turned into tiny blue slivers that had ice blue cracks running from the center of them. It looked as if my eyes had turned into a frozen lake that had just been stepped on. Hundreds of tiny cracks ran through it, making a trip across the frozen lake even riskier… 

How many times did I fall into that lake? 100? 200? No, it was probably around 300... I think... Well, I don't want to visit that place again.

The world around me slowed down. It wasn't just the world slowing down for me; I could also see the slight twitch of a muscle, tendon, or even the eye, signaling where their next attack would be. 

As my wolf tore apart the weak humans below me, I swiped multiple times with my long katana. Toketsu was something that I had spent all my money on.

Before becoming a commander, I decided on spending all my saved-up money on this piece of soul equipment that still has me in debt. 

After receiving the katana, I was forced to move back into the Icicle Forest, where I usually trained and sometimes lived. Of course, to pay back the debt, I took on some missions handed out by the adventurers guild, but they were always tedious. 

Most of the time, I missed the events where the adventurers guild handed out a special mission for everybody, including taking down a pretty strong monster. There was also a vast prize pool that came with the popularity of taking down such a strong monster. 

But… the ones I took were essentially killing a few hundred monsters and bringing back the materials… I was bored and couldn't even eat good food since I had to pay off my debt until that woman came. 

One of the queen's wives. Also referred to as "her highness" or "Kumo." She saw potential in me that I never thought of, and since I needed the money badly, I accepted. Also, I was scared of what would happen to me if I declined one of the queen's personal offers. 

"DIE!" I shout, jumping off my wolf and charging towards the despairing humans. 

[Summon: Tundra Wolf] 

I summon hundreds of more Tundra Wolves that appear out of nowhere. They let out an ungodly roar that practically shakes the murky water below us. My summons were ripping apart every human in their path, ignoring the murky water and heinous smell that filled their nostrils. 

If we weren't partly in the [Forest of Poison], most of our soldiers would be struggling much more than right now. For just a split second, I entered the [Blood Swamp] and immediately gagged, almost emptying my bowel content right on the battlefield. 

The gag was enough for a soldier to almost get a hit on me, but a thorny vine appeared out of nowhere, impaling the human soldier. 

"Thanks," I say, wiping away the saliva that dripped from my mouth. 

"No problem, try not to get too far into the [Blood Swamp]. Her Highness did give us that warning for a reason," Olivia says, rolling her eyes at my recklessness. 

"Sorry, I'll be more careful next time," I respond, going off to slay some more humans. 

[Grand Sword Enhancement]

Her highness said not to go all out, but this should help us get rid of more humans and I don't count this as myself going all out.

Before, my katana cut through the humans like a knife into a nice juicy steak, but now with [Grand Sword Enhancement], my sword cut through them like they were air. Blood splattered everywhere, and parts of my blue hair were dyed dark red with the human's blood. 

I continued to slay and slay until I realized a fatal mistake on our side… We were pushing too far forward. Most of my soldiers and Olvias soldiers were pushing so far forward that they were experiencing the [Blood Swamp] effects. 

My soldiers showed clear signs of nausea, so I knew we had to take action. 

"WARRIORS! RETREAT SLIGHTLY! WE ARE PUSHING TOO FAR!" I shout. 

Most of the warriors listened to me and retreated to the cross-section between the [Forest of Poison] and [Blood Swamp]. But some were too pumped full of adrenaline that I doubt they even heard my words. 

Since they didn't fall back with the rest of the warriors, they were ganged up on by hundreds of humans. They were quickly dying off, but I couldn't just watch my own soldiers die. 

[Boost] 

I felt my speed rise as I dashed deep into the [Blood Swamp]. Murky red water filled my shoes, and the disgusting smell burned deep into my nostrils. I forcefully pushed down a gag as I ran into the blood-red mist. 

My vision was clouded by the blood mixed with the air, creating a dark red haze that was almost impossible to see through. If it weren't for [Frozen Wolf Eyes], I would've never been able to see the slight shadows of my fallen soldiers. 

"FALL BACK DUMBASS!" I yell out, blocking 3 swords at once with my own katana. 

The soldier snaps out of it and runs away from the fight. I do this a few more times but soon realize I was lost. I didn't know which way to go as the cloud of blood shrouded my vision. 

WHOOSH 

A blast of wind suddenly sweeps away most of the blood-red mist, allowing me to see more of my enemies—a few more gusts of wind sweep by, completely revealing the bloody battlefield to me. 

I realized how far I strayed away from my army, so I ran back to it. Since maneuvering and just trying to push through the thousands of humans and soldiers was impossible, I summoned another Tundra Wolf to carry me over to my army.
