Chapter 184: Battle Against Skadi Empire
As the wind howled across the dusty plains of the Earth State’s border, two colossal armies stood facing each other.
On one side, the Overlord’s Empire, standing proud yet vastly outnumbered. War banners rippled in the wind, bearing the black-and-gold insignia of the new age. Soldiers, though fewer, stood tall with weapons ready, their eyes burning with purpose.
Across from them, the Skadi Empire had arrived like a storm.
Their massive airships shimmered in the sky like floating steel leviathans, casting long shadows over the land. Enormous terrain cruisers, mounted on magnetic cores, glided over rocks and cliffs as if gravity meant nothing to them. Their soldiers, clad in silver armor with glowing sigils, looked more like invaders from a distant world than inhabitants of the continent.
To the common eye, it looked hopeless. Like ants preparing to fight giants.
The air trembled as one of the Skadi leaders stepped forward.
She hovered above the enemy line, her dark blue skin glowing under the midday sun. Her armor sparkled with embedded crystals, and her voice echoed through an amplifying runes.
"Who is this Overlord who dares to defy the will of the Skadi Emperor? Come forward, so I may witness the arrogance with my own eyes."
Silence swept across the Overlord’s ranks.
Then a sudden gust blew outward from the center of the camp.
From within the ranks, Igaris slowly rose into the sky, cutting through the clouds like a black spear.
He wore no extravagant armor, just a long battle robe with intricate runes shimmering faintly across his sleeves. His eyes were locked onto the enemy, glowing with sharp golden brilliance.
