Awakening：The Infinite Evolution of My Talent as a Low-Level Awakener-Chapter 846: Breakthrough! Sky Griffon!

The roar of Barbatos echoed across the entire battlefield.

All the Nightmare warriors who had survived and managed to escape from the Eternal Light World raised their heads, their excitement rising like a volcano as they gazed at the towering figure standing atop Barbatos' head.

"Victory in war is certain! No one can stop the nightmare from descending!"

"Clear away all obstacles for His Majesty!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!!"

Under Sterl's influence, the already peak morale of these Nightmare elites swelled even further. They let out deafening roars and unleashed all their power, charging forward like a pack of wild wolves, attacking the Radiant Legion.

On the other hand, the soldiers of the Heavy Armor Legion and Radiant Heavy Cavalry Legion, when they looked up at Sterl in the sky, felt a great shock to their spirits.

Secret rune resonance was reciprocal. The commander could use the technique to control the situation on the battlefield, while the soldiers, through this link, could sense the condition of their commander.

In an instant, every soldier clearly understood—their commander, one of the three titled Marshals of the Dream Spirit Empire, the invincible Radiant Marshal Monroe, had been defeated!

Not only defeated but utterly crushed.

The defeat of the Marshal hit them like a bucket of cold water, dousing their high spirits and the anger in their hearts. Their morale evaporated almost entirely.

Had it not been for years of constant warfare and the deep belief they held in the Empire, they likely would have already collapsed in morale and fled.

Even so, their weapons no longer felt as sharp, and their attacks lacked the unstoppable, self-destructive spirit they once had.

The most critical change was that with Monroe's fall, the latent power activated by the secret rune resonance began to fade. Along with this, a sense of faint weakness quickly surged within them, gradually consuming their will to fight.

This was the price of the secret rune resonance. No power came without cost. Monroe had borrowed their strength, and now they were paying the price, growing weaker as a result.

The fighting prowess they had displayed earlier had been entirely because Monroe had forced the secret rune resonance to unlock their hidden potential and power.

The soldiers, once so fierce, now crumbled with equal intensity.

Under the brutal onslaught of the powerful and high-morale Nightmare elites, the Radiant Heavy Cavalry Legion managed to maintain some degree of resistance due to their mobility. However, the rest of the Heavy Armor Legion was forcibly torn into pieces, like a herd of sheep surrounded by predators, rapidly disintegrating and being consumed.

"The Marshal has not fallen yet! We must stop them, hold out until reinforcements arrive!"

A Radiant Heavy Cavalry Legion commander gritted his teeth, working tirelessly to stabilize the increasingly chaotic situation. Under his command, a new force of tens of thousands of Heavy Cavalry was gathered from the rear.

However, just as he was preparing to lead the cavalry in a charge, a vast shadow suddenly appeared overhead.

He jerked his head upward and was met with the most terrifying sight of his life.

Sterl's Sword of the World vibrated slightly in his hand, and with Barbatos diving down, he swung the blade downward with tremendous force.

The combination of half his power and his swordsmanship mastery amplified the strike to an incredibly terrifying degree, resembling a natural disaster as it descended upon the freshly gathered Heavy Cavalry Legion. freёnovelkiss.com

Boom!!

The force spread outward, and at the center, over a thousand heavy cavalry soldiers were instantly reduced to a cloud of blood mist. The terrifying power continued to radiate outwards, sending thousands of heavy cavalry soldiers and their warhorses flying, inflicting severe damage.

With just one strike, the formation that had been so painstakingly assembled was shattered.

"War Demon!!"

The commander who had narrowly avoided the attack looked at the devastating scene in front of him and let out a hoarse, desperate scream. His eyes were filled with anger and despair.

But soon, Barbatos changed direction and swung his sword horizontally once more. The terrifying force surged into the commander's body in an instant.

With an unwilling roar, the commander was killed on the spot, his body reduced to nothing but a pile of ashes, along with hundreds of nearby Radiant Heavy Cavalry soldiers who were also fatally wounded.

The battlefield was visibly tilting toward the Nightmare forces.

The heavy-armored soldiers had no chance to retaliate. Under Sterl's direct intervention, the Radiant Heavy Cavalry Legion was slowly being shattered.

In just a few minutes, the elite soldiers of the Radiant Legion were slaughtered by the dozens, and the vast battlefield was torn open, creating a direct path to the outside world!

As for the outermost layer of the encirclement, those war Mechanisms operated by Dream Spirit soldiers, seeing the war about to be lost, they immediately destroyed the mechanisms to prevent them from being captured.

"Let's go. We shouldn't stay here any longer. Return to the Land of Nightmares and regroup our strength. We'll strike back at the Dream Spirit Empire."

Sterl's voice resonated in everyone's minds. Upon receiving the command, the Nightmare warriors showed no hesitation or desire to remain in battle.

Each of them knew that they were deep within the heart of the Dream Spirit Empire. If the enemy's reinforcements arrived and surrounded them, they would lose their last hope.

Without the threat of the war mechanisms, everyone soared into the sky, laughing with excitement and joy, quickly speeding toward the Land of Nightmares.

The surrounding soldiers attempted to stop them, but without the support of the legions or the suppression of various war mechanisms and formations, their speed couldn't keep up with the full-speed breakthrough of the Nightmare elites. They could only watch helplessly as the enemies made their escape.

However, as they watched the Nightmare elites and War Demon gradually disappear into the distance, a sense of relief involuntarily washed over the soldiers. They couldn't help but feel a sense of fortune.

Looking around, the once mighty Radiant Legion, which had been one of the strongest elite armies with the Heavy Armor Legion and Radiant Heavy Cavalry Legion, was now reduced to scattered remnants.

The battlefield, littered with debris and corpses, silently spoke of the brutality of the battle.

As the surviving soldiers gazed at the post-apocalyptic scene before them, they were stunned. Deep within their hearts, the pride and confidence that once defined the Dream Spirit Empire quietly began to crumble.

Above Barbatos, Sterl looked down at the scene unfolding below, continually using his Dimension Perception to remain vigilant against any potential dangers.

At that moment, his eyes narrowed as he looked to his left.

There, a series of massive beasts with wings like griffins appeared in his sight.

On the backs of these griffins were fully armored elite soldiers.

"This is... the Sky Griffon Army of the Dawn Legion."

A wealth of information about this legion flashed through Sterl's mind, all drawn from the high-ranking members of the Radiant Legion and memories from the Night Elf.

The Sky Griffon Army was different from the Radiant Heavy Cavalry Legion; in fact, it was more similar to the Radiant Warriors, being an elite force among elites.

This army consisted of over ten thousand units. Each griffin was the strongest beast to have survived the brutal competition among hundreds of others in their youth, possessing strength equal to that of a centurion, reaching the level of upper divine authority!

To become a Sky Griffon Knight, the basic requirement was to personally tame a griffin, which meant that the best of the best in this legion were at least centurions—Nightmare leader-level warriors.

Each of these warriors, placed in the [Transcendence] world, was an invincible terror among the lower realms.

This was the Dawn Legion's trump card, and also a major weapon in the hands of the Dream Spirit Empire.

Sterl, drawing upon the remaining Divine Power within him, focused his vision. In an instant, his gaze pierced through a range of hundreds and even thousands of miles.

He saw that on both the eastern and western sides, large armies were closing in on the position of the earlier battlefield.

If they delayed for just a few more minutes, they would be surrounded by the overwhelming tide of forces, slowly ground down and trapped.

However, even if they successfully broke through, it wouldn't guarantee victory.

Just the presence of these tens of thousands of Sky Griffon Knights was enough to bring most Nightmare warriors to their end.

At that moment, the others also noticed the Sky Griffon Knights quickly pursuing them from the left.

As elite warriors of the Nightmare Legion, their perception was naturally sharp, and they quickly assessed the strength of the Sky Griffon Knights.

In terms of speed, even Nightmare generals and lords couldn't match the Sky Griffons. This meant that if the battle continued like this, the vast majority of the Nightmare warriors would be caught one by one, eventually overwhelmed and killed.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to stay behind and hold them off!"

At that moment, a Marshal flew to Sterl's side, his eyes filled with murderous intent as he stared at the approaching Sky Griffon Knights.

Sterl glanced at the Marshal. The Marshal had eight pairs of wide, overlapping wings growing from his back. These wings were unlike ordinary feathers; they resembled divine metal, gleaming with a dark, metallic sheen.

His body wasn't large; rather, it was sleek and agile, giving him a streamlined appearance. However, his face—like that of a bloodthirsty warrior—gave him a somewhat fierce and intimidating look.

His name was Dick, known as the Silent Killer among the ten Marshals. With his terrifying speed and unique, powerful abilities, he had slaughtered countless high-ranking enemy commanders in previous campaigns.

Now, daring to volunteer to stay behind alone was a testament to his absolute confidence in his own strength.

"No need," Sterl replied, giving him a glance. "You are to scout ahead. I will handle this personally."

"Understood!"

Upon hearing this, Dick didn't hesitate to speak further. To him, the current War Demon was a fusion of the War Demon and Nightmare Overlord, a being so powerful it was nearly invincible!

With the Emperor personally stepping in, Dick wouldn't question or oppose the decision. In fact, he felt a bit of pity for the Sky Griffon Knights.

Without another word, he instantly vanished from Sterl's presence, carrying out the task assigned to him.

"Impressive abilities."

Sterl felt the shift in the space as Dick disappeared, a flicker of surprise and unexpected admiration flashing in his eyes.

The spatial fluctuations from Dick's movements were nearly imperceptible. Even Sterl himself found it difficult to detect.
