Another Side Of The Universe

Chapter 94 : Cutting Through

Prince Stravenkov raises his hand, ordering the steel knight army to apprehend Versatel. The ground began to tremble as the steel army began to walk towards Versatel. 

“Heh! You never learn, aren’t you?” said Versatel. He holds PuppetBot and activates it. PuppetBot’s eyes begin to glow. He lifted the power sphere and the knight army stopped. 

Stravenkov and the rest of his knights look around, confused. Kaizo and Axion raise their guard.

The knight army slowly turned around with a creaking sound and looked at the Prince. 

“Kill them!” said Versatel.  

“NOOO!” the Queen screamed.

The knight army walks towards the Prince. 

“Okay. If anyone has any plan, now’s the time,” said one of the royal knights. 

“The plan is to stall the army here,” said Axion. 

“Uhh… instructions unclear. Care to break it down in detail?” said the knight. 

“We need to get that power sphere,” said Kaizo. 

“Prince, you need to get your hands on that Power sphere. The rest of you guard the prince. Kaizo and I will make us a way,” said Axion. 

“Understood. You heard her. Let’s go, Knights!” said Tirion. 

Axion and Kaizo step upfront. The Prince behind them. Tirion stayed close with the prince and the royal knights surrounded the Prince. 

“Want to take a bet?” said Axion. 

Kaizo smirked. “Heh. What’s the deal?”

“If I beat more steel armies than you, you gotta take me to dinner.”

“Sounds nice,” said Kaizo. 

The army stands in front of them. Their shadows fall on them.

“I hope you have enough cash. Cause you’re gonna pay me a King’s meal,” said Axion. 

“Hmph! In your dreams,” Kaizo replied. 

Axion starts the attack with her ice spikes. 7 Ice spikes pierced 7 steel knight’s heads. Kaizo and Axion run forward. They jumped and took down another two steel knights. 

As Axion and Kaizo make way through the steel army, The prince and the others follow behind them. Few steel knights tried to attack the Prince. But the royal knights defended him with all their strength. Their progress makes Versatel angry.

“We’re halfway to the Queen! Let’s keep this up!” said Tirion. 

Suddenly, Versatel’s number 1 elite soldier attacked Axion. Startled, she fell back. 

“Axion!” Kaizo exclaimed. 

The elite soldier turns to Kaizo and attacks him. With his quick reflex, Kaizo managed to parry him. But he struggled against the soldier's strength. Kaizo jumps back, putting a distance between them. They were stuck in a stalemate. The Prince’s party is anxious.

Axion looked at Versatel. She smirked. “Are you so scared until you have to send your best man even though you have an army?” she taunts. “I suppose your plan with this army isn’t that great after all.”

Versatel’s face fumes. “You won't be laughing for much longer. Kill them!''Versatel yells. 

“Leave this guy to me. Get the army,” said Kaizo.

Axion nodded. She goes ahead and takes down a few steel knights. The elite soldier tried to stop her. But Kaizo stood in his way. He charged at the elite soldier.

The soldier parried his attack, pushing Kaizo to jump back. He ran towards Kaizo, ready to pierce him with his sword. Kaizo blocked his attack with all his might. 

“Foolish move!” said Versatel as he smirked.

Suddenly, a shadow loomed over Kaizo. He looked up to see one of the steel knights ready to cut his head. 

“Kaizo!” Tirion exclaimed. 

Axion slid her fingers on her sword. Sigils begin to glow on her sword. And with a single swing, she pushed back a dozen steel knights.

The room suddenly goes silent. The impact of Axion’s attack took everyone’s attention. Enough to distract Versatel and stop him from focusing on the steel knight behind Kaizo. 

The steel knight behind Kaizo froze with its hand still in the air. 

“Are you sure you can send one of your steel knights to help your elite soldier?” Axion asked. “At this rate, I’m going to reach you in less than an hour.”

Versatel clenched his fist.

“An army of steel knights that easily break into pieces and an elite soldier who can’t handle a kid on his own...heh, no wonder you’re feeling anxious,” Axion mocked. 

Versatel growls in anger. “You little….” He focuses the steel army on Axion. 

The steel army slowly approaches Axion. Including the one behind Kaizo.

Axion smirked. “Yes… that’s right. In this room, I’m the one who you need to fear,” she mumbled. 

“You think you can fight me?” said the elite soldier. 

“You think you can stop me?” Kaizo asks back with a smug face.

“Cheeky kid. I’ll tell you what a real battle is,” said the elite soldier as he put up a stance.

Having the steel knights focused on Axion, Kaizo gets to fight the elite soldier one on one. The Prince and his men continue to follow Axion. 

Tirion takes down a steel knight that Axion didn’t manage to put down. Sweat filled his face. “How is she going to keep this up?” he wondered. 

Prince Stravenkov watched her in awe. Axion kept fighting ruthlessly. She doesn’t hold back and rip apart the steel army of knights in pieces. 

Versatel gritted his teeth in fury. “Damnnnn youuuu….” he mumbled. He raises PuppetBot’s power output.

Pieces and parts of the steel knights begin to float. They all looked around in confusion as pieces of steel flew over them. 

“The steel knights… they’re reassembling themselves?!” said Tirion.

“No way….” said one of the royal knights. 

“They keep coming back no matter how many times we beat them. There’s no end to this,” said another royal knight. 

Versatel laugh. “Hahahaha. That’s right! This is the invincible immortal army. And I am going to conquer the world with it.”

The Prince and his men begin to lose their stamina as they lose their spirit. The longer the fight goes on, the worse it gets for the Prince.
