The slash that Aron made created a powerful cutting force. But the sword itself was not imbued with plain Force Energy. Aron had released something else.
The Lizard Champion sensed it immediately. On the planet that he lived in, he heard tales of this marvelous power and feared it.
"Captains! Dodge it!" The Champion roared as he harnessed all the Beastial Energy that his Evolution provided.
The captains were confused at his sudden exclamation.
SLICE!
The powerful energy that the slash of Aron threw finally reached them.
The Champion has blocked the energy with a slash full of his Beastial Energy.
BOOM!
The Champion stood his ground, but the size of the slice was too wide for him to block.
"AAAHHHH!" One of the captains near the Champion screamed. Standing near the Lizard Champion protected him from one part of the slice, but the area which the Lizard Champion could not cover was cut in half.
The lizardman felt his arm drop and could see a deep cut from his ribs and reached deep towards the lizardman's heart.
The Champion could not even turn around to observe the rest of the lizards as his eyes kept locked on the
Apart from those near the Champion, the first two rows of lizards were struck with a terrifying slashing force.
Only a few of the Captains managed to heed the Champion's warning and evaded at the right time.
The blood of many lizardmen spilled forth on the floor, and no cries of pain were heard from them, for they already died.
The lizardmen at the back also shouted as they felt a painful sensation that hacked onto them.
Aron smiled and drew his sword, and charged towards the Champion.
"Pretty strong of you to resist my attacks!" Aron laughed.
"Deal with the other warrior! I'll handle this!" The Champion commanded as he broke rank to attack Aron.
The swords of the two clashed and created another powerful shockwave.
Aron was thrown back at the clash. The Beastial Energy of the Lizard overpowered him.
"Sword Expert! Why do you aid the Golems?" The Lizard Champion spoke in human tongue.
"Oh? You can speak our language? This is even better! Hey brother, this one can speak human!" Aron laughed as he dove forward to attack.
The Lizard raced forward, and the two fought.
As Aron fought with the Lizard Champion, Branze continued his charge and was immersed in his concentration. He couldn't even hear Aron's shout as he held his shied up during his charge. However, his concentration was on his other hand. Force energy was covering the sword of Branze.
"That was a different Force Energy altogether. The very nature of it..." Branze closed his eyes, and his charge rampaged onwards.
All of the first rows allowed Branze to dive deep as even the surviving Captains had to evade the flickering lights of the shield. It was as if a large wall was racing towards them.
"Form ranks! Block his charge!" One of the surviving Captains ordered.
Several Man-Gators moved to block the attack.
But as Branze approached, the lights vanished, and his sword grew bright.
"[Holy Cross]!" Branze stabbed the sword on the ground.
BOOM!
An eruption of Holy energy exploded out and sent many on the front lines flying. Even the large Man-gators crashed on the stalactites above as the explosion hurled him so high up.
"Not good enough!" Branze cursed. Comparing the harnessing of energy to what his brother displayed, Branze felt it was a bit dull.
"How do I sharpen my Force Energy?" Branze pondered.
The lizards around Branze were recovering and felt the painful sting of the Holy energy that attacked them. Many died from the attack. The mages and archers at the back also were in disarray. Most of those at the front were dead. Their defenses could not resist the explosive Holy energy.
Several angry roars were heard, and the lizards charged and attacked the lone Paladin.
But Branze didn't move. Hew even closed his eyes and kept channeling the bright Holy energy meditating on how he used the attack.
The three surviving Lizard captains angrily charged at Branze.
But even then, Branze kept on concentrating. This was because he was alone anymore.
SMASH! SMASH! SMASH!
The Golems arrived. The bright light of Branze's Holy light had blinded the Dark dependent lizards. And since Golems don't have sight similar to humans or the nocturnal eyes of lizards, they saw past the holy energy and weren't blinded by it but managed to attack the lizards.

Iron Golems and Rock golems led the way. Unfortunately, their fist punched through the faces of the lizards and may be instantly killed.
Stoph took center stage and attacked. He could see that Branze was in a deep state of meditation and ordered the Golems not to disturb.
"Cornerstone's family has done so much! Let's not waste this!" Stoph ordered as the golems, and the other knights of the Steele family began their attack.
The golems and knights avoided the battle in the center.
The Lizard Champion saw how the frontlines collapsed and raged. But Aron kept putting pressure and attacking him that he could not afford to run back.
The golems plowed through the armies that Branze could be seen standing from the Lizard Champion's perspective. This was also one of the reasons why the Lizard Champion hesitated to attack. He knew that fighting the Paladin and the Sword Expert would be his demise.
The tactics the golems followed began to work. After a few fights, the golems got the flow of their battle. Man-Gators we used as shields and used as human hammers that smashed on the lines that were forming at the front. Stoph was also moving and was more generous in using his attacks. He knew that he would recover more after this battle.
"Oh, my gods... I know that look. Don't tell me he's trying to understand how I dd that?" Aron frowned as he saw his brothers state.
Branze was immersed in his mind as he experimented and tried to create that energy that he witnessed. He kept recalling how his brother did it and tried various theories to do that.
On the various theories that Branze pondered upon, he finally saw it.
He saw himself standing in the vast emptiness of space. The vision that Aron just saw appeared before him.
A strange figure stood before a gigantic object. The object hovered alone in space, and this figure was even smaller than the smallest speck compared to this gigantic object. But unlike Aron's vision, the figure had a very confused, frustrated, and even annoyed expression.
Branze looked at the dust and was amazed.
"That's...! Is that a Planet?!"
Unlike Aron, Branze had some sense of responsibility for the vision he saw.
The figure stood and raised his arm.
"Let there be Sword force." The man declared as he looked in Branze's direction.
"Seriously though... That other guy just came here. And it hasn't been what? Twenty minutes since he saw this?"
All of a sudden, strange energy formed in his hands, and it became a sword.
"Let the concept of Cut be created. Let all of creation be disconnected from each other. Let that which is one be many and let life form separately." The man spoke and swung his sword.
"I mean... I've had seven Greater Gods as sons and daughters. And none of them got this. What's going on? Who are you?" Hyperion complained.
As the sword was slashed, the entire universe trembled.
The massive object exploded, and many more powerful and strange gigantic beings emerged, and each began to use their powers to shape the universe further.
It was only then that Branze realized that the man who stood over the massive object was not so small but was as large as an entire Yggdrasil!
The giant figured gazed as looking directly to Branze.
"I am Hyperion Steel. The First One Severed. Arise, my descendant. Arise and fight! For the Battle against End draws near! But why did you arise so quickly? I get that the first guy must have been a genius, but who are you, and how did you get here so fast? Have you been training together or something? But you don't even have the aura of a Sword Expert around you! You're a Shield Expert, for crying out loud! Anyway, arise. Whatever. There's still one more of my descendants, right? I do hope he will arise, but tell him to take his time. Maybe go on a vacation or something. I hear fishing is good in the northern Lowland shores."
Branze marveled at what he saw and found himself standing up in the same place he was.
"So that's it!" Branze smiled as he slashed out his sword.
"[Force Slash]!" Aron was shocked at what he saw. Branze just did what he had done. It was weaker and had very little force, but Branze clearly grasped the concept of what he did.
"Seriously? He just saw my attack for the first time?!" Aron suddenly cursed as he saw what his brother was doing.
"Another Sword Expert?!" The Lizard Champion exclaimed in shock.
"What's a Sword Expert?" Aron asked the Lizard.
"... You don't know what a Sword Expert is?"
"No. I know what Sword and Expert means, but I'm sure you were using Sword Expert as a proper noun."
"What's a noun?" The Lizard Champion asked. While he was learned how to speak in the human tongue, his knowledge was only basic, and he hadn't heard of the word 'noun' and therefore felt fear when he heard of the Titled Noun, called 'Proper Noun'.
"... This conversation might take a while. Erm... Listen, your army is being massacred, why not surrender?"
"Surrender?" The lizard champion grew angry.
"You think that I, a Lizard Champion, would surrender because of two Sword Experts? You make me laugh!" The Lizard Champion roared.
"What's going on? Why did I feel a sense of Divinity here? And I felt it twice!" Petra arrived and asked.
The two knights and the Lizard Champion watched as the Golem King, who now had a new core on his side, arrived. He had a new core on his right shoulder. It was the core that Kyros acquired from killing the Orc magi he had killed in the town he attacked. The core was brought to the Temple and given to Petra to boosts his power. The hot energy continued to meld with Petra's body and released the level ninety Petra's full force and energy.
"So, about that surrender... Do you provide food to your prisoners of war?" The Lizard Champion began.
"And what is this so-called 'proper noun'?"
