Reincarnated Lord: I can upgrade everything! - Chapter 99

Chapter 99: Field Battle
Five Ashbourne soldiers closed in on Buba with their spears ready to pierce through him. They were about to thrust their spears when Buba leaped out of their midst and threw lava bombs midair before he landed.

Boom!

All five soldiers flew several meters backward.

Buba formed a bigger lava bomb, looked at the soldiers around him, and began to launch lava bombs toward them. He slammed the palm of his hands into the ground, and the earth split open with magma spurting out!

The crack seemed to be controlled as it evaded the barbarian warriors and focused on Asher’s men. With magma spurting out, Asher’s men began to give up their positions and retreat.

Their high-ranking armor and equipment were of no effect against magma.

All of a sudden, it seemed like just one man was about to change the tide of the battle, but to Buba’s shock, all the magma were instantly absorbed the moment Alec appeared to the forefront of his troop.

Buba couldn’t believe his eyes as the sculpted beast head on Alec’s shield opened its mouth and absorbed all the magma from the earth.

Behind Alec was a chaotic battlefield. Desolate Slayers, Silver Wolves, and Centrak riders clashed with all their might, their weapons clashing and producing sparks. Some were dragged off their horses, some were killed alongside their horses, but the Centrak riders noticed their weapons were weak against the Ashbourne soldiers’ armor.

Two riders on Centraks ran ahead of Buba and swung their cleavers at Alec. Seeing this, Alec took some steps forward, thrust his spear, and pierced through the one on his right. He swung his spear in the next moment, and it slammed the second rider off his centrak.

Their horses ran past Alec.

He killed the second man with a decisive thrust to his chest before proceeding toward Buba. Buba cracked his neck and flashed a confident smirk.

When Buba closed the gap, he swung his cleaver, but Alec blocked the strike and took a step back. Buba’s smirk widened, and he launched a lava bomb that should explode once it hit Alec’s shield, but all he saw was smoke.

Alec’s shield absorbed it!

A gleam of greed flashed through Buba’s eyes. Such weapons would make him greater than he already is. With that weapon, his fame would spread to the big clans.

Buba closed the gap, and as he struck downward, he saw Alec was pushing his shield forward. A loud sound rang as the weapons collided and a ripple blasted outward, launching Buba over 20 meters away.

All that was with a little push?

His red right eye shook.

Alec executed a strike to Buba’s shoulder, but his spear’s shaft suddenly bent and the head spun. Buba, who was now on his feet, leaned backward, yet the spear’s tip grazed his neck, leaving a scorch mark!

Bam!

Alec slammed his shield against Buba’s feet, causing the fearsome warrior who had imposed terror into the hearts of thousands to scream.

Without a shred of mercy, Alec slammed his elbow, protected by the couter, a metal plate against Buba’s chin. The impact sent Buba crashing 15 meters away, his body battered and bruised by the unfriendly ground.

Where did such a warrior come from?

How is it that Alec treated him like a novice warrior?

He was a gold-ranked barbarian knight!

“Ahh!”

Buba screamed out of anger. A spear pierced the ground right before his face, and he lifted his head to see Alec looking down at him. Alec’s helmet prevented him from seeing his face.

“You burned people’s villages and raided their homes but I chose to give you an honorable death. You should be grateful.”

Alec’s bone chilling voice rang.

Buba glared at Alec.

His right hand trembled, and he launched a punch packed with liquid flames that ended up hitting Alec’s spear. Alec was fast enough to defend himself with his spear’s shaft.

Alec took three steps back and scowled.

He lifted up his spear and was about to kill Buba when warning bells ranged in his mind. His instincts were screaming at him to lift up his shield, and he quickly did so.

He turned to his left, and in that moment, a spear struck his shield.

Sparks dropped to the ground while he was almost sent to the ground!

Alec lowered the shield and saw a barbarian wearing a fur jacket that exposed his chest, running toward him. The barbarian had chains wrapped around his forearms, and on his chest was a large crisscross scar.

Behind him were almost 3000 gold-ringed infantry!

“Hahaha! Tamar!”

Buba laughed boisterously, got to his feet, and wiped his mouth. Tamar brandished his spear, leaped into the air, and thrust it toward Alec’s face.

Midair, a lightning arrow pierced through his chest and scorched him black!

There was a shockwave of fear that spread throughout the battlefield as some traced the arrow to the hooded sniper on the back of a beautiful warmount. She lowered her great bow and turned to the 60 Stormbringers behind her.

“It’s time.”

Rumble!

They raced toward the battlefield, leaving Asher, Alex, and the shura vanguards, who were watching over the battlefield from a high spot. Behind them were the elite Bladebreakers, neatly arrayed and waiting.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Lightning arrows entered the battlefield, tilting the advantage toward Asher’s side once more. Not even the barbarians’ great numbers could change it.

Meanwhile, Buba began to take backward steps as the death of the second in charge registered in his mind.

“Where are you from?” He just had to ask where this abominable army came from.

Their might was like that of the legendary clans known to have either gone extinct or hidden from the world.

Adam shook his head and readied his spear for the men rushing for him. With a sweep of his spear, over a dozen were cut down, and he could see that Buba seized this opportunity to run.

The earth imploded as Alec leaped and landed right before Buba. Before he could act, a black figure cut down those in his path with great speed, grabbed Buba’s neck, and lifted him with just one hand.

“Where is my wife?!”

It was Adam!

Buba couldn’t believe this was the same Adam he knew. Now, the former chief donned an exquisite heavy armor that Buba could only dream of.

“Your wife? She’s the head chief’s new maid!” He sneered and suddenly paused before speaking once again. “He personally gave the order for us to capture her so he could make her his maid. It would serve as a warning to others. I can’t imagine what you feel.”

Buba gathered a lava bomb in his hand and Alec, thinking Adam was engulfed in his emotions to see it was about to interfere when…
