Chapter 374 Barbara Vs Commander Jov
374 Barbara Vs Commander Jov
As Commander Jov fell with his giant Axe, the Axe shot forth the holographic projection of a human sized Gorilla bringing both fists for a smash. *SMASH!* n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The ground opened up into a crater as Barbara was nailed into it. For the first time since the beginning of the battle, an attack actually reached Barbara that got her attention.
Although she was still able to defend against the attack, a few drops of blood fell from the side of her lips. And some more blood fell from her forehead. Considering the ginger color of her hair and the bright red of her aura, the blood that flowed down actually added an extra layer of beauty and passion to her.
With her forearm, she wiped the blood. "Not bad! At least this useless army still has some formidable strength I can have fun with."
Meanwhile, Commander Jov also frowned. That was a direct hit from a weapon that had been passed down from Generation to generation. It was practically a blessed weapon, a treasure from his family and she had defended against it with her raw strength. Although he could see that he had injured her a fair bit, it was no where satisfying enough for him. At least he had expected that she would have been turned into meat paste with that attack.
Both parties looked at one another, and the others fighting around them gave them enough space to brawl. Just as Barbara looked at the heirloom in commander Jov's hand, he too also looked at her with caution. The battle between war commanders was always a sacred one. It could determine the shift of the war, whether one side would win or not. After all, the commander always embodied the morale of their troops. when the commander was winning, then the troops were winning, and when the commander was losing, then the troops were losing. This aspect of war in many years had never changed even for a bit. All of a sudden, commander Jov raised the giant Axe unto his shoulder as he prepared for yet another attack. As he did, Barbara readied her weapons too. She was not going to back down from a fight. In truth, her savage nature had been excited and her sword glowed even brighter in her Aura energy. All of a sudden, Commander Jov moved.
*TOTEM OF THE ONE EYE MONKEY!*
As he said this, the Axe glowed in the light of his bronze ranked spiritual energy. This was energy so strong that an unfortunate Vandorian soldier that had been too close was instantly turned to dust. The Bronze energy morphed into the holographic projection of a monkey. The Monkey chirped loudly as it rushed for Barbara.
"Do you think that only your lot are gifted with techniques!?"
She CLANKED her swords together.
*HEART OF THE WARRIOR!*
On Saying this, the red aura about her body rushed to the sky forming the image of a life beating heart around her body.
*DUM DUM!* The heart beat, sending waves of energy blast from itself made the advancing one Eyed monkey stop in its track. Every beat made by the heart, slow as it was, sent shockwaves in all directions. This was a large range attack, and the vandorian soldiers all around could not help but hold their heads in pain as their ears bleed. This attack was a technique passed down to Barbara. It brought fought the strong intent of the Warriors determination to the outside world. Every beat, an echo of the warriors intent for victory. For such a large scale war, it was indeed a brilliant move. But surely, Commander jov would not let her have her way. Gritting his teeth, he slammed a hand against the axe and yet another one eyed monkey rushed forth, picking the other monkey and throwing it at the heart. *BAM!*
This destroyed Barbara's technique. Commander Jov chuckled, "i knew it. Such a fragile attack has no real substance. Your warrior's heart is weak."
Barbara chuckled back, "is it?" she raised an eyebrow at him. It was only now that Commander jov noticed that blood was also coming out from his ears, and also his nose. He staggered a bit, the heavy Axe swaying left and right, but he held on tight. After all, if he fell here, then the vandorian army would have lost the war, and he would go down in his history as that commander that lost it all,
meanwhile, a good distance behind Barbara a certain figure, dressed in white robes materialized from the body of a dead man on the ground.
The yellow aura on this man's body was strong showing that he was at least a bronze rank cultivator. This was incredible military power that could aid the battle. But this man even though he was an highlander, was not here to push the will of the highlanders.
Instead, he sneaked up behind Mani. If Mani had turned, he would have certainly recognized this man as the person that welcomed him and Chiron into the highlander's temple the other day when he had come to visit his mother.
This was supposed to be the temple guard, but here he was on the battlefield. The man reached into a pouch on his side and removed a smoothly curve dagger, and then he leaned in grab Mani by the neck. As he did this, Chiron watched from within the shadow pool. He had no intension whatsoever to stop him. In fact, Chiron wanted him to act. The soonest he did, the better for him.
On the other side, Barbara was too preoccupied with the assault of the Commander to look behind her. This was war, and certain things could not be helped. At the end of the day, one could only trust the sharpness of their own blade and the accuracy of their skill. However, as the man raised the blade against Mani's neck, something totally unexpected occurred.
