Level Up Legacy Chapter 1131 Lord Dorian

Chapter 1131 Lord Dorian

Dorian stood atop the city walls, his hands grabbing the fence so hard it squeaked. On both of his sides were the previous city lords who had become his advisors, their faces filled with fear as they witnessed the scene.
Although the ten cities had united under one banner, turning their armies into one, a greater threat appeared in the same instant. Millions of monsters poured from the path as they sought to kill them. The armies had ogres and titans, imps and wyverns, and undead monsters.
"This is the third day since they left," said Lillian with a frown as she gripped her sword of flowers. "We should expect the monsters to stop attacking us at any second."
"No one has conquered the tower in the last three thousand years, so three days might have been an exaggeration on their part," said the Lord of Westcoast. "I suggest we hide in our rooms until this event is over."
"If a single soldier harbors that idea," rejected Dorian the idea as he turned to face his advisors. "We cannot let fear divide us at such a crucial time. We survived two days, and this is the third!"
"Do you trust their promise, Lord Dorian?" asked the Lord of Crestview as he stroked his beard. "I have died once before because of Artemis, but the Demon King revived me with his golden mana. No one trusts him more than I do, but he might have overestimated how long we can last."
"If we underestimate our abilities, then we shouldn't have fought to begin with," said Dorian, fighting their despair. "I know that things are getting hard, but we still have the nine artifacts."
His words were reassuring, but anyone who saw the scene before them would despair. Millions of monsters rushed toward their city. Dorian used the Separation Tear to teleport the ten cities and create a major one. This made the citizens easier to protect, but it also meant having to protect a bigger city.
"Use the regeneration artifact to revitalize the army," commanded Dorian as he turned. "Then use the cube to unify them. Another wave of monsters is coming toward us."
"Yes, my lord," nodded the rest and followed his orders. Dorian watched as the soldiers began healing and then shifted to assume formation. As for the artifact that held back the monsters with its barriers, it could not stop their onslaught for long.
The barrier broke, and the monsters poured into the fields surrounding the cities. Their soldiers awaited their arrival, creating a barricade to protect those weaker than them. Uncertainty and fear filled their faces, but they knew that there was no place to run.
The earth began shaking as the monsters arrived, each one trampling the last beneath its feet. In order to raise their morale, the army captains began shouting as they raised their swords. All soldiers braced themselves for the inevitable clash, which arrived before they could prepare.
"GWAAAA!"
Clang!
Boom!
Whoosh!
"AAAH!"
"Keep in formation! Keep in formation!"
"A monster jumped over the barricade! Archers, shoot it down!"
Chaos ensued as the soldiers fought against the monsters, having to team up in pairs to fight against each one. The monsters ripped their formation apart with their numbers, as the soldiers could not face millions.
Dorian stared at his soldiers pushing for their lives, despair filling his face. He made sure to transfer their stats to the soldiers using the Unity Cube, ensuring their survival. However, their numbers were overwhelming.
"At this rate, the monsters will break through the walls!" shouted the Lord of Westcoast. "We need to teleport the citizens away from here!"
"Where to, exactly?" asked Dorian as he turned toward him. "The entire second floor is filled with monsters, so where am I supposed to take them, if not here?"
The Lord of Westcoast could not answer, and Dorian turned back to witness the battle. Despair made its way into his heart as he watched how they couldn't push back the monsters. Sweat rolled down his face as he looked for a solution.
His breathing turned shallow as the countless deaths and blood resonated with his body. At some point, blood pooled beneath him, alarming his advisors. They rushed to his aid, but Dorian stood as steady as a mountain."
"Send the citizens to their rooms," commanded Dorian. "We will go down and fight too, to the death if needed."
Dorian took out his spear as he took a step forward, blood running down his body as numerous wounds appeared. His advisors looked at each other before nodding and deciding to follow him.
After announcing that the citizens needed to enter their rooms at the current time, Dorian placed his leg on the fence and jumped from the walls. He soared forward with ease, turning into a blur as he descended onto the battlefield.
Boom!
Dust rose from his landing spot as Dorian rushed forward, spear in hand, rescuing the nearest soldier. The ogre had no chance against him as he impaled it, but luckily, the Karmic Resonance did not activate.
"I'm so glad these monsters are not real," said Dorian as he pulled out his spear from the corpse, which turned into red particles and entered his body. Although he lost so much blood, Dorian felt his strength returning as the red particles entered his body. "Killing these monsters strengthens me?"
Before he could think it through, another monster rushed toward him. Dorian dodged to the side and swung his spear, cutting the monster in half. Then, he jumped to the next one, impaling its head with a single strike.
The more he killed, the stronger he became, and the more he killed. As long as someone had enough strength to kill the first monster, they would never lose against these millions. Dorian rushed to every corner of the battlefield to either save the soldiers or repair their formation.
"Take my hand!" said Dorian to a fallen soldier who had lost his eyes. As he pulled up the injured man, a loud growl echoed from the distance. "Something dangerous is coming…"
The ground began shaking as the monsters retreated. A titan from within the army of monsters rushed toward them, throwing its arms around like a child. Dorian watched as each hand sent ten soldiers flying with ease, killing them instantly.
"Let me handle it!" shouted Dorian as he kept his spear in his storage before advancing. The lords arrived on the scene at this time, not knowing whether Dorian was being reckless or just confident.
In comparison to the titan, Dorian was no taller than its foot. His slim figure did not scream reliability, and the titan cupped its hands to hammer Dorian like a nail. The man with ashen hair watched the attack with a fearless gaze as he raised a single hand.
Boom!
As expected, the entire battlefield shook as the titan crushed Dorian. However, the next scene made the crowd stand with their mouths agape. While dust rose from the ground, the titan's arms were thrown back as it staggered.
Dorian was still standing in place, a gray energy surrounding him. Although he seemed a little tired, he gave the titan no time to stabilize. He dashed forward and jumped higher than the titan itself and kicked it in the head.
The entire army was awestruck as Dorian kicked the titan's nose, which looked like an egg, and threw it to the ground. An earthquake ensued from the falling titan as the wind pushed the soldiers back.
Dorian stood atop the giant, huffing, as he gazed down at it. Its face was irregular as if someone painted it while drunk, with its nose resting high above its eyes and a mouth on its forehead. As the titan could no longer stand, Dorian summoned his spear.
"This is what happens when you attack my soldiers," said Dorian as he raised his spear high and brought it down. The titan screamed as the spear went through its eye and straight to its brain. Before long, silence descended on the battlefield as the titan began turning to red particles.
Dorian landed inside the crater he had created as he walked back. Monsters still rushed forward from behind him, but he did not care. Archers shot their arrows, killing hundreds of monsters that tried to attack their lord.
"We stand together!" shouted Dorian as he slammed his spear on the ground. The soldiers cheered for their lord as he stood beneath a rain of arrows after taking down a titan.
Dorian stared at how their morale rose after seeing him fight, realizing that he made the right choice. A lord can never earn the trust of their subjects if they stood atop the walls and watched.
As he took out his spear from the ground, Dorian turned toward the incoming monsters. His soldiers rushed to follow him when the strangest thing happened. The monsters that were rushing to kill them froze in place and turned around. Then, screams of agony echoed as dark creatures began rising from the ground.
