Unlimited Power 03: The Sinful Ruler

"I guess everyone thinks it is cool to use all of their mana to kill a lot of enemies and then almost collapse soon after," Jake said while watching Louise and Lana helping each other.

Although Louise and Arilene's actions had been a bit reckless, they raised the morale of the troops. They began to shout violently,, and their voices finally overpowered the enemies' war cries. Still, advancing with those numbers and try to advance would be dangerous, and they could only fight the enemies and slowly decrease their numbers. However, one of them had to stay behind to lead them in case something happened…

"I will stay behind… while I am more offensive-oriented with my bow, Frederick and Helena can do a better job at offering them support from the sides," Milena declared.

If their goal were to decrease the enemies' numbers while losing as few as possible, then Frederick would be better off staying behind. Still, they want to save as many as possible by killing as many as possible and as fast as possible…

In any case, eventually, Jake realized what they were doing, but he couldn't help but facepalm while seeing them taking so much time to make up their minds in the middle of the battlefield.

"The ice trolls are almost gone… but the ice golems are fast approaching," Lana declared.

Things should have happened sooner, but no one realized that all of the enemies had been carefully organized in many lines… the first line was made of ice trolls, and when one was taken down, others from the sides would come to take their spot… it was truly a formation made to endure the attacks and exhausted the attacks as much as possible… things will only get more challenging with the ice golems…

"We don't have time for this," Frederick said. "You guys should go all out and pierce the enemy's lines, and we will make sure that only a few of them will attack from the sides."

"Only a few? Not all of them?" Jake asked.

"I can't promise that under these circumstances, go!" Frederick shouted. "If we surprise them and cause havoc on their lines, the guys behind will have better chances of decimating the enemies."

That was another too-hopeful thinking… Still, Jake was fully aware that they had to go all, so he dashed toward the ice golems, who turned themselves into a wall to block his path. Jake couldn't think of saving mana now, so he went all out…

Against his first target, Jake jumped and then slashed his sword against it after enhancing the blade with the dark flames. The attack had been so clean that the ice golem fell into two identical parts.

After that, Jake turned to the sides and fired two dark mana blades at the ice golems nearby. The projectiles exploded after hitting their heads… creating good enough space for the two parts to follow Jake's.

Soon after, Frederick made some earth spikes emerge from the ground piercing the feet of the nearest ice golems. When they tried to move, not only they damaged themselves further, but they also fell on the ground due to the obstacles. As for Helena, she told her party to summon some wind tornadoes, and she put them on fire and made them wipe out all the enemies that approached.

"It is a bit too close… the wind is pulling me," Lana said and then saw Jake, Karina, and Julian facing the ice golems and killing them slowly one by one. "Jake, you want to save mana, right? Why don't you do that thing with Louise."

"Girl… you need to choose your words better on the battlefield," Jake said while splitting another golem from head to toe.

"You have such a dirty mind. I was talking about combining the dark flames with a fireball," Lana said.

"I suppose it is worth a try… tell me when you are ready," Jake said.

"Roger that," Louise said.

Since Jake was also covering for Julian and Karina, Arilene and Louise couldn't do much. So, they were saving their mana. Not to mention, the other two parties were doing excellent jobs holding back the enemies… In any case, Lana buffed Louise's magic power, and then she began to drain mana from the environment while also creating a fireball above her… when it became a ten meters wide fireball, dozens of monsters took notice of her and dashed to attack.

Helena's group began to have a hard time thanks to those new enemies, but then Arilene summoned her ghost guards to give them the support necessary. Eventually, a large part of the battlefield got warm, and Jake confirmed that she was ready with the thirty meters wide fireball… that was way bigger than the other. He enveloped the sphere with his dark flames, and then Louise fired before once again getting dizzy and tripping…

Still, she managed to control the attack, and the massive ball of dark and red flames crossed the battlefield and melted all of the ice golems that got hit… fifty meters later, the projectile hit the liquid golems that used ice spears and water cannons to stop the attack… but they failed. The flames made everything evaporate.

Your intelligence increased by five points.

…

The attack pierced the enemy's lines for five hundred meters before it disappeared, but it killed thousands of enemies and pushed many others to the sides while Jake was checking those notifications.

Jake received a shit ton of mana, so be wondered why Louise didn't have skills like Motivation. Even if the class was useless, the skills weren't. She probably wanted to improve her own ability to drain mana… regardless, Jake infused all the enemy on the sword, and the light blue blade began to glow more and more, and he could feel its power increasing…

"It is time to rock…" Jake said and then smirked.
