Soft-bodied Monster

I thought Setaka had become an Ascendant for more than two thousand years, and Aoun should know this weapon, but he shook his head. ✌🎁 ❻9Ŝ 👍💲

That's understandable, though, since one of them lives in the south and the other in the north, and Ornn is a homebody who's always immersed in his own little world.

He took the Khopesh and looked at it; his little red eyes shone brightly, unable to hide his affection.

"Such a weapon actually exists in the world! Whose masterpiece is this?"

"This should be an angel's weapon, or it could have formed naturally; in any case, it appeared along with the Ascended."

I don't know how to explain it. If it were a weapon of other Ascended, it would definitely be formed from the convergence of Solar Energy, but it's hard to say about Khopesh.

Ornn didn't even listen to my answer; he was simply admiring Khopesh's blade, completely captivated by it.

"Alright, you're not thinking of keeping it for yourself, are you? It's time to return it to my friend."

"Hmph, stingy. I won't hoard someone else's weapon. This Khopesh may be sharp, but I can make the same piece if I put my all into it."

"Are you exaggerating? I don't think any weapon can compare to Khopesh."

"Yes! Keep the Gale Sword here. I'll return it to you in a while and show you my skills!"

After Ornn finished speaking, he left with the two broken pieces of the Gale Sword. Just as I thought, this guy is most susceptible to provocation.

I believe that with his skills, he can forge a weapon comparable to Khopesh. He has just become a bit arrogant by confining himself to a small circle for a long time. Now that his pride has been hurt, he will definitely do his best to restore the Gale Sword, and even make it stronger!

"Haha, he fell for it so easily?" Sivir found it hilarious.

Shh... be careful he doesn't hear you.

We went back inside and cuddled for a while longer, when things started to get restless outside. It was the Void Creatures that had come to invade.

They are more punctual than people going to work, arriving every day at dusk without fail. After a period of gradual increase, they are now showing signs of weakening.

They might be preparing for a powerful offensive, or they might be on a downward spiral. If so, then our persistence will be meaningful.

There were very few monsters this time, and Sivir and I didn't have much trouble driving them back using only the giant sheep.

However, Darius in the east is having a tough time. We have multiple balls at each of our strongholds, and he has directly sent us a distress signal.

Sivir and I rushed over immediately; Darius and Draven were putting up a fierce fight.

On the other side of the defensive line was a Giant Monster. Instead of attacking from a distance or falling off a cliff like other monsters, it tried to build a bridge with its own body.

This is a Soft-bodied Monster that can stretch its body extremely far. Other monsters crawl along the large monster's body like spiders.

Although we have many warriors who can handle the situation, even the best-laid plans can have flaws, and monsters will always manage to invade.

I focused on clearing away the monster's extended body parts, while Sivir wanted to control Khopesh to charge in:

"We can't keep defending, or more and more monsters will crawl over. I'm going to go and kill it!"

"No, that's too dangerous. What if there's an even stronger opponent on the other side?"

"I don't need to go to the other side; I just need to float in mid-air and be within Khopesh's kill range."

"But in the heavens... Alright, go ahead!"

Sivir is a powerful warrior, and I can't always worry about her like a child. I need to support her in times like this!

Even if there are some flying monsters in the sky, I can just protect her with my strong winds!

And so, while clearing away the monster's remains, I protected Sivir and the other warriors. Soon after, I finally reached her attack range!

As Khopesh swung his sword, a golden light flashed across the sky, and the giant was cleaved in two. Such power was truly astonishing!

Sivir then demonstrated the ranged control abilities she had learned from Shetaka and began to fight on the opposing side!

I wanted to see her learning progress before, but I had to give up because the Gale Sword was cut off. Now I'm finally getting to see it for myself.

After the giant was chopped into pieces, the defensive pressure on our side was greatly reduced, and we were finally able to clear out the invading smaller monsters after nightfall.

The operation seems to be going smoothly, but without Sivir's strong support, it would have been a tough fight.

This also serves as a wake-up call, showing that not all Void Creatures are mindless; they are trying to invade using various methods.

Today it's a rubber monster, maybe tomorrow it'll be a giant spaceship.

Our current air combat capabilities are severely inadequate, relying mainly on the eight Ancient Dragons; this aspect must be strengthened.

After cleaning up the battlefield, we went back inside and chatted. Draven had only been at the front lines for a short time and this was his first time meeting Sivir.

"Wow, you're amazing, beautiful lady! You managed to kill the giant from so far away. Are you a god summoned by Yasuo?"

"No, that's not it. My name is Sivir, I'm Yasuo's... friend. I've met Darius a few times too. You two look very alike, are you his brother?"

"That's right, Darius is my brother, and my name is Draven. Nice to meet you... Hey, you said your name is Sivir? You're Sivir, one of the Seven Kings?"

"Haha, yes, back then we formed the Light Organization on behalf of various regions to fight against the Vastaya and these monsters."

"I'm impressed! I didn't expect you to be so young and beautiful. By the way, do you have someone in mind? To be honest, I'm still single!"

At this moment, Darius reached out and slapped Draven on the back of the head:

"Stop talking nonsense! Look at yourself!"

Draven was most afraid of this older brother. He rarely talked back, but now he looked aggrieved and muttered under his breath:

"I didn't say anything, brother. Are you saying that because you're not getting married, you can't even let your brothers date?"

"You need to consider the context and the person. Can't you see that Yasuo and Sivir are very close?"

Draven listened, looked at Sivir, then at me, his face full of confusion. I suddenly realized something was wrong, but before I could change the subject, he blurted out:

"Yasuo? Isn't he with Riven? How come he's still taking more than his share?"

Seeing that Darius was about to hit him again, I quickly stopped him and explained the situation to Draven:

"That was true before, but Riven has joined forces with the Vastaya. We have nothing to do with each other now, and if we were, we would be enemies."

Are you telling the truth?

Why would I lie to you? Sivir and I are deeply in love, and we'll get married after this war is over.
