Supreme Monarch

Rekaz used his Furious Charge once more, opting to stop short of his bash, and threw a punch at the distracted ogre. His fist slammed into the ogre and sent him flying until he slammed into the tree behind him. He once again used his charge and stopped short of the ogre that was struggling to move.

He swung his spear at the swordsman the moment he got close enough. A loud sound was heard and the large tree behind shattered. However, the ogre had somehow managed to dodge the attack.

Rekaz turned his head to launch another attack when the ogre suddenly took off running but stopped a few seconds later and took a defensive stance with a bloodied face.

Rekaz thought the fool wanted to run away but was scared of being cut down from behind. He sneered and charged once more at the ogre but the same process repeated itself. It seems just like all the others this insect was also trying to lead him somewhere. What nonsense.

°Endless Fury°

A faint red glow encased Rekaz body and he planted his right foot firmly on the ground and kicked off. Jarret had thought he could still keep up with the troll's increased movement speed a little but it suddenly increased by a notch.

The Berserker Troll charged at him and with a wave of his spear. Jarret felt like the weight of the world had been placed on his arms as they immediately went numb the moment he had tried to block the troll's attack.

His feet were swept off the ground and before he knew it he was already flying through the air. Rekaz did not stop his pursuit as he chased after the swordsman using another Furious Charge!

Jarret's mind felt numb for a second, he wasn't sure what was happening but he had this piercing feeling that he was in danger. He looked up and saw an angry red troll charging at him with a massive spear in tow.

He tried to raise his sword as he flew through the air, trying to maneuver his body around to block the charge but his arms felt heavy and he could only watch as the massive spear stabbed at him.

Rekaz speed was greater than he could've ever imagined and with the speed buff from his new berserker skills Furious Charge and Endless Fury, he was way faster than the ogres and beastmen and was even able to catch up to the still airborne swordman. This was finally his chance to end this annoyance and even with all his new abilities and skills, he would end this with his very first Technique.

"Dark Spear."

A dark aura oozed out of him and engulfs his spear but unlike the previous times, the aura had a tint of red and was more intense. Rekaz cut off his charge and power was transferred into his legs as he leaped up to meet the swordsman in the air, his hands sprung back like a catapult and it shot out. The spear aimed at the swordsman's heart.

*Boom! Crash

Rekaz attack sent the body flying out of the forest and crashing into the ground on the outskirts but he wasn't happy. A sudden arrow had been fired from the outside of the forest and while it could not stop his attack, it had shifted his aim slightly. Due to that, he wasn't sure if the swordsman was dead.

He's still huge frame came crashing down on the rocky soil of the outskirts and Rekaz immediately activated his charge again wanting to finish off his opponent for good. However, a familiar figure came out of nowhere and slammed her Bo staff into his shield.

Even with his new strength, he was still forced to a halt, and Rekaz could not help but snarl. Of course, this was non-other than the tanned beastgirl that had

toyed with him back in the forest.

Rekaz finally raised his head and his eyes widened. Most of the goblin riders and Gray trolls he had sent ahead were completely trapped in several large pits and sinkholes all around him. Looking around something caught his attention. Another figure he vaguely recognizes was staring back at him.

He hadn't been sure at first but that must've been Kazko.

•••••••••

•••••••••

Kazko's eyes widened as he stared blankly at was had played out before his eyes. Firstly several cloaked figures had run out of the forest as they were trailed by goblin riders and a few Gray Trolls, which had made him happy that Rekaz would not be far behind but what happened next shocked him.

The cloaked figures that were most likely the rangers that had instigated this whole thing, ran tortuously across the terrain and the goblin riders and trolls who had opted for the quickest route to their targets, all fell in several large pits and sinkholes that had probably been set up ahead of time.

Kazko turned around and saw his Gray Trolls that were still chasing after him and were now about to exit the forest, and just before he could tell them to stop, a massive sinkhole opened up beneath their feet and just like that, his previous number advantage was no more.

He turned back around to see the Kobolds gathered together as they had most likely cast a ritualistic spell to achieve such a feat. Kazko gritted his teeth. He wasn't dumb enough to charge into an unfavorable situation so he needed to come up with an alternative.

As he contemplated, something else happens, he felt an explosion of savage and berserk energy coming from the Forest. He could almost guess what it was but he didn't want to believe it. He had thought he was finally superior and even without the magic weapon he would still be made chief but now he was being challenged again by the same troll.

Luckily the ogres didn't seem interested in attacking him immediately as they probably didn't want to be caught off guard by Rekaz and wanted to challenge them both at once with all their enemies in front of them.

Kazko felt a little insulted but he also needed some time to formulate a plan, and if the ogres were foolishly giving him that time, he wouldn't let his ego get the better of him.

He would just have to make them regret it with their lives. It didn't take long before a few figures first flew out of the forest probably wounded and Kazko still waited and sort through all the new skills he had received from his complete evolution.

Only a few minutes went by and Kazko eyes widened. A ranger fired an arrow into the forest and soon a figure that was coated in the dark aura of Rekaz dark spear technique was sent flying out of the forest. Next, a massive red-figure crashed into the rocky soil just as he had done.

He had expected Rekaz to be different but this was insane. His previous bald head had long mohawk-styled black hair, his skin had a blood-red tint to it that was a little different from their normal berserk state. His frame also looked smaller as he should be around 11-12 inches tall which was probably similar to his present height.

Rekaz also had a more slender build to him but his aura felt like it was constantly going berserk. With his abnormally large tusk and Furious eyes, he was the perfect embodiment of a berserker.

Rekaz did not notice him as he immediately lunged at the figure that had been impaled with his Dark Spear. However, a black hair tanned beastgirl had suddenly jump in front of him and had stopped Rekaz with a single swing of her Bo staff.

Kazko didn't waste any more time and activated his skill. °Roaring Boost° His body was shot into the air and he arrived in front of Rekaz. Kazko was about to ask a question however, it seemed like the ogres were done waiting as an arrow coated in fire arc through the sky and Rekaz was forced to block it with his shield.

Kazko quickly got behind Rekaz as the rangers behind fired a volley of fire arrows at them. Rekaz raised his shield high in the air and successfully blocked the volley of Arrows that were rained down upon them. The moment the volley stopped Kazko immediately lunged forward at the ogres and his actions were mirrored by Rekaz who picked up a new spear from the ones his Trolls had dropped before they fell.

As they charged forth, Kazko saw the two shield-wielding warriors charge at them with several other shield warriors. Altogether ten shield warriors were charging at them. Kazko immediately slowed down his pace as he let Rekaz take the lead.

°Furious Charge°

Rekaz shield was coated with a crimson aura as he slammed straight into ten shield warriors and won, albeit slightly. He was able to push the shied warriors back a few paces but he didn't stop there.

Kazko took the opportunity to use Roaring Boost and leaped over the group as he activated another skill °Lacerating Slash°, His aim was still the ogre chieftain who held that magic weapon. Kazko believed that if he could snatch that weapon, they would trample over everyone here.

However, they were still only two trolls, and were severely outnumbered. Spells of different shapes and colors soon flew up at him and canceled his attack. Kazko momentum was altered and he landed awkwardly and before he could regain his balance the ogre chieftain and tanned beastgirl with the Bo staff appeared in front of him.

BOOM!

Kazko's body was sent flying and he slammed into the rocky soil as he bounced off several times. Rekaz seemed to be holding his own with the shield warriors and rangers as he had already activated his Berserk skill and Kazko had no choice but to use his own.

His now light grey skin slowly took a red tint as a bloodred steam-like aura was exuded from his skin. Like a bull that saw red, Kazko charged wildly into the Battle and with a swing of his weapon. The ogre and beastmen in front of him were sent flying. Spells and arrows came flying at him but Kazko disregarded them and only blocked the ones in front of him.

He no longer felt pain in this state and continued his charge. Again, the beastgirl with the Bo staff came at him and Kazko immediately punched the ground with the strength of the skill. °Roaring Smash° The ground shook violently and the girl lost her balance as Kazko bone sword extended like a whip already aimed at her head.

However, the bone sword was intercepted by the Dark-Syphon as the ogre chieftain charged at him. Kazko immediately let go of his weapon and with both hands, he used the skill again. This time causing a massive quake that shook the entire battlefield.

Everyone except Rekaz lost their balance and before the Trolls behind the ogres could react in time, he did it again, and again. The area about a 60-meter radius around him was completely demolished and aside from the goblin riders that did not have the regeneration ability, all the Gray trolls trapped under the sinkholes were freed and they finally regained their numbers.

With Rekaz and Kazko charging wildly into the battle and the trolls backing them, they steadily claimed control of this battlefield as bodies flew everywhere. And although there were a few notable fighters that gave them trouble like the Ogre chieftain, the two rangers with a purple crossbow and a composite longbow, the two shield warriors, and two beastgirl mages.

Kazko and Rekaz could simply just take their attacks without feeling any pain and their regeneration would immediately kick in. They would steadily reduce the numbers of their fighters and concentrate their full force on the few outstanding fighters.

With that, victory was imminent. Kazko sneered, everything was going according to his plan. Within just a few minutes he was sure to have the magic weapon in his hands. As Kazko thought of this, he suddenly had a sour taste in his mouth. Something was about to go wrong.

He was hoping this was just him being paranoid but as he turned around, he saw all his Gray Trolls that had been wreaking havoc against the ogres only a few minutes ago were frozen in fear.

He was afraid to raise his head but had no choice, he raised his head and his eyes went wide. The space behind the group was weird. It looked distorted and warped and right before his eyes, three-figure slowly walked out of the void into the battlefield.

The moment their figures were fully visible, an intense and dominating aura surged out of them and the once intense battlefield went deathly silent.

"I guess it's about time I tag in."
