Awakening：The Infinite Evolution of My Talent as a Low-Level Awakener - Chapter 836

Chapter 836: Chapter 836: Nightmare! Heavy Cavalry!
This was the unique aspect of the Nightmare Legion’s Marshal.

Due to the War Soul Resonance, the Nightmare Legion had once been fully commanded by the War Demon. As for the Marshals, they didn’t possess exceptional leadership skills, but they wielded terrifying destructive power and combat abilities. Each Marshal was a powerful force that caused the Dream Spirit Empire significant headaches.

Now, with all ten Marshals joining forces, the scale of devastation was unimaginable!

“Hahahaha! Die, die, die! Even if this Marshal is trapped for forty thousand years, so what? You… are still pitifully weak!”

Marshal Rein, the Marshal of Gluttony, unleashed his full power, manifesting his massive form that was several dozen meters in size. With every concentrated strike, dozens or even hundreds of soldiers were killed or wounded. Despite these soldiers having reached divine ranks, and being among the elite within the divine ranks, they were still unable to resist. Rein was the most frenzied of all the ten Marshals, the strongest force among them!

If this had happened before, he would never have dared to reveal his full form in the midst of a full-scale assault, but after absorbing large amounts of Holy Silver, his recovery capabilities had become incredibly strong. Especially his digestion and absorption abilities, which surpassed all other Marshals. His affinity with Holy Silver was unparalleled, making the enhancement he gained from it the most significant.

Not far away, a half-centaur-like Marshal charged forward with all his might. His body, also several dozen meters large, resembled a steel war chariot. Wherever he passed, death and injuries followed in large numbers.

At the center, the most prominent figure was Wood, who led the Royal Guard Legion. A hundred elite guards formed a sharp spear, deeply penetrating the Heavy Armor Legion and relentlessly pushing forward with unstoppable momentum.

Wood, at the forefront, stood like a lone barrier that no one could break through. His dual-bladed, serrated greatsword swung with such speed that it created afterimages. Under the mastery-level swordsmanship, he slaughtered the heavy-armored soldiers as easily as chopping vegetables.

Aside from Wood, the other Marshals were also continuously unleashing their powerful forces, causing the Heavy Armor Legion to fall back in defeat at every turn.

In Walker’s hollow eyes, the Fire of the Soul constantly vibrated. As the nearby heavy-armored soldiers approached him, their eyes immediately became glazed, and they turned to attack their own comrades, turning the battlefield into complete chaos.

With four thousand Nightmare elites, each of them capable of slaughtering over a hundred elite soldiers, their combat power under the twisted anger was terrifyingly strong!

Even though the Heavy Armor Legion was bolstered by the secret rune resonance, signs of defeat were gradually starting to show.

In the distance, Monroe, seated atop the head of a giant tiger, began to wear a more serious expression. As the Legion Marshal and the orchestrator of the secret rune resonance, he could naturally see the situation on the battlefield.

What he hadn’t expected was that the sealed ones, after enduring the relentless bombardment of the war Mechanisms, could still unleash such powerful combat strength. Furthermore, the strength of those Nightmare warriors had exceeded his expectations.

The weakest among them could actually rival the centurions of the legion, while the most powerful, even Monroe—the Marshal of the three great title-holding Marshals—could feel a slight pressure.

In that moment, Monroe finally understood why, even now, the Empire still held such fear and caution towards the War Demon and the Nightmare Legion.

However, in Monroe’s eyes, there was no trace of anger or fear; instead, there was a flicker of excitement, a battle-hungry intent.

For hundreds of years, he had been waging wars. Yet, his opponents were either the weak elf tribes or the cowardly lizardmen, neither of which piqued his interest.

In fact, aside from one or two secluded powerful races, all other races, in the face of the Empire, were nothing but a rabble, easily crushed. The only reason the Empire hadn’t wiped them out was to continue extracting resources from them—using foreign resources to sustain its own prosperity and strength.

So, when he saw the strength displayed by the Nightmare warriors, who had been dormant for tens of thousands of years, it finally stirred his long-silent heart, creating ripples of excitement.

“Radiant Heavy Cavalry Legion, charge with full force! All Radiant warriors, join the fray! Angel’s Wings, activate immediately!”

With the power of the secret rune resonance, Monroe calmly maneuvered the vast battlefield.

From a divine perspective, it seemed as though the Heavy Armor Legion was being driven back by the thousands of Nightmare warriors, but in reality, the movements of the entire legion were subtly guiding the battle towards a larger encirclement.

Sterl watched calmly, without making any moves.

The Dream Spirit Empire had planned this for so long that it could not be undone in just a few minutes. This was an open scheme—knowing about the Dream Spirit Empire’s plan didn’t matter much. It was a hard battle, a battle with no turning back.

The only way out was to break through forcibly. There were no shortcuts.

Moreover, the Nightmare warriors had been sealed for so long that they needed this bloodbath to gradually awaken. It would also allow them to more deeply understand the changes in the Dream Spirit Empire’s strength, preventing them from becoming arrogant in future battles.

“They’re here…”

Sterl’s steps briefly halted as his gaze shifted towards the distance, seemingly seeing beyond the Heavy Armor Legion to the Radiant Heavy Cavalry rapidly charging from behind!

The ground trembled, and the Heavy Armor Legion, which had been locked in battle with the Nightmare Elites, quickly spread out from both sides.

A heavy cavalry unit, like an unstoppable force, was charging forward. Every Radiant Cavalryman was surrounded by a faint golden light, and these golden auras intertwined, merging the strength of thousands of Heavy Cavalry into one unified force!

This was undoubtedly the strongest Radiant Heavy Cavalry within the Radiant Legion!

Previously, even in a fully unleashed state, Sterl had been forced to retreat by a cavalry of over a thousand, feeling his arms go numb from the shock. But now, the number of Heavy Cavalry had nearly reached ten thousand!

“What is this!?”

All the Nightmare Elites immediately sensed an overwhelming sense of danger. Many of them leapt into the air, but before they could even take off, dozens of hundred-meter-long heavy crossbow bolts shot from the distance, blasting one Nightmare leader into oblivion!

This was the advantage of taking the initiative—there was no way to avoid it. They could only brace themselves and take the full brunt!

“Even more ants are still just ants!!”

“Crush this trash with me!!”

Rein roared, and under the effect of War Rhythm, the hundreds of Nightmare leader-level elites around him simultaneously activated their power, working in sync.

At the forefront, Rein relentlessly squeezed every last ounce of energy from his body. His enormous, several dozen-meter-tall form began to shrink and wither as he forced out every last bit of power.

“Break!!”

Concentrating all his strength into one point, Rein threw a devastating punch directly towards the charging Radiant Heavy Cavalry!

Boom!!

In an instant, it felt like the earth was being shattered!

The ground trembled violently for hundreds of miles around!

Even the Imperial Capital, two hundred miles away, felt the immense shockwaves. If it weren’t for the massive formations laid out around the capital, the residual force from this impact would have flattened it completely.

As the shockwave hit its core, Rein’s eyes widened in shock, his face twisted in agony. An uncontrollable force violently surged into his body, tearing apart his once powerful, resilient arm. The horrific power rampaged through him, ripping open countless deep cracks across his body’s surface.

As for the dozens of Nightmare leaders surrounding him, along with the hundreds of Radiant Heavy Cavalry charging head-on, they were instantly obliterated into a mist of blood, dead beyond recognition.

Boom!

Rein crashed into the ground like a meteor, creating a massive crater upon impact. Lying in the pit, his mind spun in a haze, his once powerfully built body now feeling incredibly weak. His ears could no longer hear a single sound.

At this moment, a flash of bewilderment crossed his eyes. He had never imagined that one day, he would be so thoroughly defeated in terms of strength, and by none other than the Heavy Cavalry Legion of the Dream Spirit Empire!

However, the charge of the Radiant Heavy Cavalry was forcefully stopped, and the ten thousand Heavy Cavalry soldiers suffered considerable backlash. The intense tremors nearly shattered their internal organs, causing significant damage.

But the effect of the charge was undeniably powerful. The Nightmare Elites, whose momentum had been unstoppable, were severely weakened by the blow.

Fortunately, although they were shaken, their military training and discipline were strong. As former high-ranking officers in the legion, they quickly regained their composure and immediately charged towards the injured Radiant Heavy Cavalry, seeking to strike back.

However, only a few seconds passed before another familiar tremor echoed from the distance.

The Heavy Armor Legion quickly scattered, and this time, three full battalions of Radiant Heavy Cavalry, each with ten thousand soldiers, charged toward the center!

In just one charge, over a hundred Nightmare leaders were crushed to death, and several hundred more were severely injured.

But the other Marshals responded quickly, launching countermeasures.

Walker’s Soul Flame surged violently, and the Nightmare mental power was fully activated. He directly seized control of several members of the Heavy Cavalry Legion, causing the charge to collapse in an instant.

The Colossal War Beast, Barbatos, was also in action. Using its massive size and agility, it repeatedly dived toward the Radiant Heavy Cavalry.

The Lords of Nightmares also gathered their strength and began to resist with overwhelming force!

With the enhancement of Holy Silver, the regular injuries were easily ignored, and their endurance was significantly increased, gradually stabilizing the situation.

“Scum! Come again!”

Rein, now recovered, roared furiously, his eyes bloodshot. After contracting his body, he launched an all-out assault, venting the frustration and humiliation he had felt earlier. The sight of a Marshal being knocked away like that was a profound dishonor!

But not long after, figures clad in silver-white heavy armor, radiating immense power, emerged from the legion and joined the battle.
