28 Chapter 28

"Die! Monster!" Ezedius roared towards the angel. The shield blocked his spear once more. He thought that this angel has excellent defense. It hasn't tried to use its sword to attack yet and has only evaded or parried their offenses.

Maybe its attack is its weakness, Ezedius guessed. He disengaged from the enemy to set a new strategy for the army.

"Camouflage the battlefield." Ezedius commanded his captains. They were responsible for maintaining formation and issuing battle directives to each of their groups. The whole army numbered in millions. But they did not underestimate the enemy before them. It was overkill.

"Roger that, chief." The captains responded towards the command of Ezedius. The area suddenly turned blurry as if a fog was covering the vision of everyone.

"What is happening?!" Quickstep was surprised by this abrupt change. He was the most affected one because he was the target of the spell. Although he could not see anything, he doubted that his enemies were on the same condition as him because the barrage of spells from the army still continued its attack on him.

He dodged all those simply through his remaining senses. When Quickstep was about to use his light magic to dispel this strange fog, the distinct offense of Ezedius forced him again to block the freezing weapon with his shield while retreating at the same time to avoid further engagements from the rest of the army.

"You will die by my spear, demon!" Ezedius promised the angel. He did not relent on his chase and followed the angel restlessly.

"Hahaha! You can't even break my shield! You shameless boaster! Hehehe!" Quickstep retorted towards Ezedius. During the hour of nonstop battle, he was able to enjoy this battle. It was fearful at first but as time went by, he calmed down more than he imagined he would.

In fact, Quickstep was happy. Not because there were humans trying to kill him but because he felt special for once.

"Hmmm. They are all looking at me. Hahaha! Am I the center of their world? Maybe. Their attention and eyes are on me all this time. Maybe I have become so great! Hahaha!" Quickstep thought about how good it was to become everyone's focus.

His every move and reaction changed the actions of not one, or two, or one hundred or thousands, but of millions.

"Is this how my wife felt?" Quickstep thought as he remembered that the Queen was always crowded by them. Everyone would always look at her. When she was in the room, no one would stare anywhere else but her. That was how special she was. His wife was one of a kind, Quickstep thought fondly.

"I'm so famous now? Hahaha!" Quickstep thought happily. He enjoyed his moment in the spotlight. He did not tire and felt that he could continue fighting for months, even years if he had to. Quickstep was once again anticipating the spear thrust of Ezedius that he would defend certainly with his mighty shield.
