Chapter 96: The old fox (1)
The monoliths could be considered as extensions of the Heavens in the world. Controlling it, helps the controller gain a temporary boost in power, enhancing their powers beyond humanly possible.
The words of the baron surfaced in Hex's mind. 'I didn't pay much heed to it then but it seems true.'
Hex was pleased to have a path forward. Gleeful with the first attack he hurried back to the monolith. He quickly sucked a stream of energy out of the monolith.
"Stop him," Herman shouted in panic. "We can't lose the monolith to them."
Avery disappeared back into the darkness. They had one task. Gain control over the monolith. Seeing Hex successfully unleash strength far exceeding his rank was a cause of worry.
"Stop them," Adgar shouted, countering his opponent's words. He couldn't allow them to harm Hex. His display of power made Agdar believe that Hex truly could prevent the monolith from exploding.
Oron roared and activated his mark, going all out. The Knight's muscles became bigger and veinier. His skin started to give a reddish glow. He jumped into the group of undead and unleashed punches and kicks like a madman.
Herman blasted airwaves in quick succession. He targeted all three opposing Knights. The airwaves were thin and sharp.
Adgar waved his hands in the air as if he was paddling. Bursts of air clashed against the airwaves, causing turbulence.
While Adgar took on Herman, Orvyn hurried back to the barrier. But before he reached it, he saw Avery step out of the darkness.
He didn't hold back this time. Black smoke draped around him as he ran up to Hex.
