Chapter 806: Reapers (II)
The elite forces of Exilion tightened their grips on their weapons as they beheld the monstrous creatures before them. These were not enemies they had trained for.
Each abomination stood over four meters tall, with bulging, muscular bodies that looked strong enough to rip through buildings as if they were made of parchment. Their forms were encased in a blend of volcanic stone and divine metal, forming a natural armor with no visible weak points.
Even their claws gleamed with a terrifying sharpness, sharper than the finest Sage-tier blades. The aura they emitted was not just oppressive—it was suffocating, an overwhelming presence of destruction and consumption.
Yet, even when faced with such pressure, the elite soldiers of Exilion did not retreat. They outnumbered the enemy five to one, and surely, such massive bodies couldn’t move swiftly. Most importantly, their sensors had picked up no internal energy core—no Force, no Magic. That meant limited range, limited abilities, and predictable patterns of attack. At least, that’s what they believed.
Their illusion shattered less than three seconds later.
The creatures, all five thousand of them, rose from the ruptured earth and arranged themselves in perfect rows, shoulder to shoulder, without a word. A cracking sound echoed through the mountains as fissures split across their armored exteriors. Their chests swelled unnaturally. Their maws opened, revealing multiple rows of jagged, glistening teeth, and their necks expanded like overinflated bellows.
Then it began.
A roar erupted, not from all of them at once, but in an exact sequence—row by row, back to front, like a symphony of coordinated destruction. The sound waves didn’t just overlap; they fused into one another, harmonizing at a frequency designed to shatter anything in their path. The result was a singular, catastrophic sonic boom that cracked open the sky.
"BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMM!"
The roar collided with the advancing Exilion elite with the force of a divine punishment. The mountain trembled, and the air warped as thousands of soldiers were flung backward like leaves in a hurricane. But it wasn’t just the physical force—it was the sound. Piercing their inner ears, rupturing balance centers, flooding their minds with unbearable nausea and vertigo, the sonic wave left even the strongest of them staggering.
