Reborn: Rise of the Greatest Summoner

400 Invasion! [3]

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Explosions rocked the atmosphere of Planet Darvis as Battleships clashed.

A war between battleships was always explosive. The impact as their main canons, torpedo launchers, and gun turrets collided set off sounds like exploding dominoes as the war ruthlessly continued.

The battle was intense.

The only problem was that this time, it was not the one-sided Cataclysm that General Aztog and his assistants envisioned, it became much tighter than expected.

Led by the 2 Destroyers and Enoch's Special Ability that he had honed through centuries of preparation, and assisted by the hundreds of war turrets across the Planet, for a few minutes, Planet Darvis stood up to the Naks.

This outcome came as a shock to all the parties of the Nak Navy involved.

The emergence of hundreds of war turrets was already shocking enough, the subsequent emergence of 2 hostile Destroyers pushed their shock limit further, but what really broke the dam was the performance of the Battleships.

'These are definitely not common 2nd hand Battleships'.

'Both of these are state of the art Destroyers!'

'How can this be possible?'

'Where did they have access to all the technology required? How did they get a Battleship-grade power reactor?'

'I thought there were no Mechanics in Planet Darvis. Even if somehow they managed to get power reactors and the others, without a Mechanic, how the freaking hell did these backwater Supers create a Destroyer?'

The shock rippling through the fleet of the Nak Navy was palpable.

The Cataclysm was barely starting yet everything was already going south.

The shocking performance of the Nak Navy was what prompted the base of the Nak Navy in Planet Darvis into action. Without hesitation, the Destroyer and the Battle Cruiser that were stationed in Planet Darvis moved into action.

Before they could leave the envelopes of the war fortress though, having been waiting for this exact moment, Core Protector Daemon struck!

For half a decade, Daemon had honed his skills as a Necromancer.

For half a decade, he held himself back from using his powers on others, he kept his energy and fury all for this day, all for this moment. Now that he could finally unleash his true power, this Necromancer did not hold back.

"Special Necromancy Ability: Underworld Teleportation!"

"Special Necromancy Ability: Army of the Dead!"

"Daemon Specialty: Envoy of Death!"

BZZZ!

Instantly, a sinister energy from the underworld filled the premises of the headquarters of the Core Protection Alliance. Even as an army of the dead charged out of the underworld, the true power was still Daemon himself.

Instantly after activating his Specialty Ability that he had been finetuning for the past 5 years, he shed his human body again only to embrace a Lich body.

An Ancient Necromancy staff appeared on his hand as souls from the underworld flew out and shrieked around him like he was their god.

Not just that, a spooky crown like a skull appeared on his head.

Instantly after this transformation, as a powerful energy emanated with Daemon as the center, this Necromancer remembered some important tips.

'Battleships are weapons of mass destruction'.

'In a ranged battle where they are comfortable to make use of all their weapon armaments, no Superhuman stand a chance against them'.

'Apart from pitting other Battleships against them, the only other way of going up against a Battleship is by pushing them out of their comfort zone'.

'Get into close range where they are much more limited'.

'Of course, their shield generators are extremely durable but at close range, you can effectively act as a nuisance and reduce their impact in a chaotic battlefield'.

This was Legolas' advise just a year ago when he was asked in a higher-up meeting to give tips on how to effectively take Battleships on.

Core Protector Daemon no longer hesitated.

"Special Necromancy Ability: Named Skeleton Summon".

His eerie green eyes gleamed.

"Diablo!" He roared.

The next moment, a familiar Bone Dragon charged out of the Underworld. Compared to 5 years ago, this Bone Dragon was not only much bigger now, it was also now far more powerful than before.

"SCREECH…!"

The loud shriek was followed by one powerful flap of it's wings as with Daemon already mounting it, the Bone Dragon soared into the skies.

Just before the Battle Cruiser and the Destroyer could rise up to their range to join in the bombardment of the Planet, the Bone Dragon intercepted them.

"You go nowhere!" Deamon's voice was cold and eerie.

"Today, we f*ck in hell!"

With his powerful Necromancer staff, he conjured the powers of the underworld as in close range, he bombarded both Battleships with attacks.

He was not alone though, having prepared secretly ahead of time, as soon as their Core Protector moved, other warriors from the Core Protection Alliance also moved as with their numerous attacks, both Destroyers were overwhelmed.

Core Protector Daemon like he promised managed to stall both Battleships with his warriors, this gave the others the opportunity to shine.

"Good".

From his Presidential Villa, President Shanks nodded as everything went according to plan. The element of surprised worked exactly as planned.

Unlike them that everything worked for though, for the Nak fleet, it was a disaster, a certain warrior was scowling from his seat of observation.

"Captain Lee, what is this?" He roared through the communication line.

"…" The Nak Captain felt fear grip his heart.

Despite his fear though, he still had to answer.

"I-I am sorry, I really am, I thought I already took care of every variable, I still can't wrap myself around how the peasants in Planet Darvis were able to build a Battleship not to talk of such high grade Destroyers".

"You still have the guts to call them Peasants?!"

"I'm sorry, I deserve death".

"Yes, you do!" He was fuming.

While he vent his anger and frustration through the communication channel, this was when General Aztog's voice reverberated again as he spoke through the channel.

"We underestimated them".

His voice was calm and collected, it was like he didn't give a damn about what was happening.

"We underestimated them". General Aztog's voice was different this time as it finally showed a hint of bitterness in it.

General Aztog turned to look at him.

"It is what it is".

"Our original plan can't work anymore. It doesn't matter how they were able to get Battleships, what matters is that they've been able to stall us".

"If we want to brute force through with our still superior strength, we'll likely win but it would no longer be without as much costs as we expected".

"If we go the brute force way, we'll pay a significant prize".

"The decision rests with you". General Aztog looked into the eyes of the Champion. "It's either we suffer a great cost or we revisit our plan…, and you act".

Champion Onana closed his eyes as he clenched and unclenched his fists.

A few seconds later, a smile crept into his face. "Interesting…"

"Hahaha…, I never expected Planet Darvis to give me trouble at all".

"I underestimated them, now they've attracted my curiosity".

"I'm curious now".

"And when I'm curious, I…"

While the warship battle continued in the atmosphere, painting a picture of doom and destruction across the Planet, new energy signatures were suddenly detected being emitted from the lightest Battleship of the Nak fleet.

The energy signatures of the Frigate suddenly changed.

Those in the Core Protection Alliance detected it first.

[Warning! New extremely powerful energy source detected!]

[Matching signatures, please wait…]

[Signature matching complete!]

[Energy Signature: Grade B!]

Shock rippled through the headquarters of the Core Protection Alliance.

"Warning…!" They barely alerted when it launched out.

From the base of the Roman Rider, a metallic object flew out.

[Initiating Booting Process…, please wait…]

[Booting Process Successful!]

[Welcome Back Master!]
