Chapter 935: The Red King vs Dark Sky (V)
'How!? How can a monster like this exist in a Seed World? We are part of the Depravita Race, yet he is playing with us as if we were mere toys!' Horus clenched his teeth, the rage and hatred that defined his existence bursting with even greater intensity as he watched two more Humanoids of Dark Sky fall, knowing they would not be the last.
The Grand Humanoids and Humanoids of Dark Sky had suffered too many severe and crippling wounds, with the Spear of Doom claiming many of their limbs, diminishing their battle power with each exchange.
In stark contrast, the Red King showed not even the slightest wound on his body. His energy pool burned with the intensity of a small star. As the battle raged on, it was no surprise that casualties continued to mount for the Dark Sky forces.
If Horus was honest, he did not really care about the lives of the Humanoids of Dark Sky, and even most of the Grand Humanoids of Dark Sky were nothing more than powerful pawns he could use and discard as he saw fit. What truly wrecked his ego and mind, torturing him from the inside, was the agony of loss that fueled his fury and deepened his sense of impotence.
Despite his seething anger and mounting despair, Horus knew they needed to keep fighting and retreating, heading back to Lovecraft City. It was their only hope for at least some of them to survive against this monstrous foe.
Horus's eyes glowed with fierce determination and deep-seated fury as he continued to command the Grand Humanoids and Humanoids of Dark Sky, desperately trying to forge them into a cohesive force against the Red King, increasing their chances of survival.
The Red King made sure to keep a fragment of his focus on Horus at all times. The man was the leader of the aliens and the one commanding them in this clash, so it was essential to keep an eye on him.
If possible, the Red King would have liked to kill Horus immediately, as that would make the fight much easier, but it was not so simple. The onslaught from the Grand Humanoids and Humanoids of Dark Sky restricted his movements, and Horus always kept a safe distance.
'How bothersome,' a flash of anger at the alien in the sky appeared in the Red King's eyes, but even that primal and basic emotion immediately turned off, replaced by a sense of utter apathy as he continued fighting and killing.
A towering and imposing Grand Humanoid of Dark Sky charged at him with a roar, the alien's massive fists aiming to crush his skull. The Red King met its assault head-on, his spear a blur as it parried the giant fists.
The Red King was ready to deliver a final blow, but a wisp-like arm from a Humanoid of Dark Sky flashed at the back of his head, forcing him to duck to avoid the attack and drive his spear into the Grand Humanoid's abdomen instead of the head.
The Grand Humanoid staggered as the Red King twisted the spear inside his body, his face contorted in agony before the Red King yanked the spear free and brought it crashing down on the creature's skull, blasting him to the ground.
