BUILDING MY OWN EMPIRE - My Journey from Nothing to Overwhelming Power-Chapter 42 – The Hero Arrives Just in Time.

Hundreds of meters away from the crowd... the two monsters moved slowly..

And hundreds of meters away from the two monsters... the crowd did not move an inch..

The surprise in the eyes of the crowd vanished.. and was replaced by.. surrender... to a desolate fate..

Everyone knew the truth.. the Lords’ territories are restricted by invisible barriers..

If the Lord does not open that territory.. neither he nor his followers can enter it..

In the current moment.. the limited territories were like a cage, trapping them and placing them before the monsters’ maws..

The fighters looked toward the leaders.. and the leaders looked toward each other.. and they all agreed on one thing...

Silence...

And hundreds of meters above.. the scene looked dark...

Two giant disaster monsters crawling toward a number of helpless people surrendered to death..

The light of the morning sun... finally arrived..

And from its belly.. everyone witnessed

Something small growing larger and larger as it approached..

"Another disaster monster...?"

"What is this joke? Isn’t what we’re in enough?"

"Are you kidding me?"

The voices of the crowd increased..

Suddenly..

Radian and the Root Monster stopped moving...

Their heads turned upward..

when.

BAM.. BAM.. BAM

The noise began in the arena again...

The two monsters were sent back several dozen meters..

While panic broke out again below...

From above, reflected with the sunlight.. two giant wings of a massive bird appeared..

While... the bird struck again...

BAM.. BAM.. BAM

Dozens of massive wind blades struck again..

And the two monsters fell under intense pressure..

Suddenly...

A shadow jumped from the back of the winged creature..

and descended fluidly toward the bottom..

He tilted his head again.. then his eyes narrowed

"Are you guys alright?"

.

.

.

Earlier..

{ Massive Mountain Storm Eagle }

{ Summon }

{ DING.. DING.. DING }

{ The current area prevents the reception of High-Rank monsters }

{ The monster’s rank will be lowered to High Disaster Rank }

Whaaat.. Why for hell’s sake!

Suddenly..

A loud noise began..

From nowhere, silver shining wings appeared.. two meters long.. then the eagle’s body was completed..

It was entirely silver.. and looked as if it were a natural eagle from Earth.. without any expected additions..

From atop the nests.. the leaders of the Tooth Monsters began to move.. sensing the danger..

Three massive flaps launched toward the highest point in the cave... then they released an uncountably large number of sharp blades...

I jumped quickly to hide.. if one of those blades hit me.. I would undoubtedly say goodbye..

"What about the eagle?" I whispered internally with concern..

My eyes turned toward it.. when

Its wings extended long.. it seemed as if they increased in length..

It flapped and then rose upward..

BAM.. BAM.. BAM

The sound of the impact echoed so loudly that I had to cover my ears..

Suddenly.. there was no longer a barrage of feathers..

Only the sound of flapping.. then

BAM.. BAM.. BAM

Large pieces slammed into the ground near me violently..

I quickly knew their source.. and smiled

"He finished them off Hahaha it happened faster than I expected," I muttered.. then

A terrible headache invaded my head.. I could no longer control myself

AAAHH..

Then I fell unconscious on the ground..

What happened? Aaah..

I opened my eyes with difficulty..

The smell of feathers??

Before my eyes.. there was a giant head..

The head of an eagle...

And in my mind....

There was a strange feeling that cannot be described... as if I were in communication and connection with it

{ DING.. DING.. DING }

{ Connection established }

{ The Massive Mountain Storm Eagle is under your total control }

{ The eagle possesses three characteristics }

{ Characteristics = Locked due to the area }

Again.. good things cannot be expected to last.. why you despicable system do you lock my beautiful monster’s characteristics Hahaha

I stood up.. then patted its head...

In fact, I didn’t do it that quickly Hahaha.. it required some courage and time to approach a creature with a beak that could swallow three of me at once..

After I succeeded in the summoning.. it was time to exit the area..

I jumped.. in an attempt to reach its wing..

Unfortunately and to my shame, I didn’t reach Hahaha what a disgrace..

Fine, I’ll try another way..

"Lower your wing for me," I whispered inside my mind, directing my speech to the eagle..

I had barely finished my words.. until the eagle did what I commanded.. then I rode atop it..

Can it be said that I rode it or mounted it Hahaha

"Come on.. let’s go up.. but gently, I don’t want to fall"

I had to grab onto its wide silver feathers.. while

It flapped and rose high..

Meter after meter.. until

I finally exited the opening

{ DING.. DING.. DING }

{ Secret Mission - Training Under the Ancient Ruins }

{ Mission completed successfully }

{ DING.. DING.. DING }

{ Obtained 90 Evolution Points }

{ Do you wish to use the points now? }

{ Yes.. No }

Hahaha it’s a great priz—

{ DING.. DING.. DING }

{ Secret Disaster - Underworld Insects }

{ Under activation }

Whaaat???? Are you kidding me?

{ Condition - Eliminate the first wave on your own }

How is that???? There are still 4 days left????

{ DING.. DING.. DING }

{ Condition failed }

{ Penalty = Doubling the next affliction }

What is happening..???? Dammit!

{ DING.. DING.. DING }

{ The second wave is on the way }

{ Condition - Eliminate the second wave on your own }

{ DING.. DING.. DING }

{ Condition failed }

{ Penalty = Doubling the next affliction }

Damn it???? What is happening..

"Go.. launch quickly toward the village.. launch!"

{ DING.. DING.. DING }

{ The third wave is on the way }

Dammit.. everyone, are you okay..

{ Condition - Eliminate the third wave on your own }

{ DING.. DING.. DING }

{ Condition failed }

{ Penalty = Doubling the next affliction }

Damn it... things are getting harder.. move faster, launch faster.. how did this happen??

Does the cave contain accelerated time??? Damn you, I entered it while I was about to face a disaster.. damn me and my stupidity

{ DING.. DING.. DING }

{ The fourth wave is on the way }

What now..

No more notifications??

It seems the previous notifications were all old... so

Everyone.. is facing the fourth wave now...

Thousands of insects.. Monali, follow the plan.. dammit, you must have led everyone skillfully.. otherwise you wouldn’t have reached the fourth wave..

Will I catch up with them? Will I have an impact??

90 Evolution Points? Yes, yes.. I must use them now..

{ Evolution Points }

{ Do you wish to use the points now? }

{ Yes.. No }

{ Yes }

{ Character }

{ Speed = 5 }

{ Physical Strength = 5 } 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

{ Stamina = 10 }

Fine.. I have 90 points.. the logical number is 100 for each..

I increased a little and felt the difference already..

So what about increasing each one by 30.. I think.. I’ll be able to face any opponent..

Since we are facing insects that do not attack.. then I need strength and stamina.. as for speed, it’s not very important now..

Fine.. since stamina is already 10.. I’ll give it 35 points..

Strength.. fine, 40 points.. I need my strikes to be severe..

Speed.. fine, 15..

Yes, this is a good arrangement.. now let’s evolve

{ Speed - 30 }

Whaaat.. I can’t increase more??

Does this mean the maximum speed I will reach is 30.. are you kidding me? I’ll be a tortoise before those fast fighters.. dammit..

What about the rest...

{ Physical Strength - 30 }

{ Stamina - 30 }

They are similar as well? Fine, no solution..

{ Evolve }

{ Yes }

I closed my eyes suddenly..

without any control from me..

Then..

When I opened them.. the eagle’s launch.. was slower?

No.. my vision of movement became faster.. this is truly great..

My body. I raised my hands, opening and closing my palm.. I feel as if my body has indeed developed beyond several years of training..

What a great feeling.. strength.. it’s...

Wonderful...

{ DING.. DING.. DING }

{ Conditions for Rank Up met }

{ Secret Mission - The Man Known by the Shadows faces the Nightmare of Shadows }

What is this mission??? Things are starting to get more mysterious..

{ DING.. DING.. DING }

{ Secret Mission activated - The Man Known by the Shadows faces the Nightmare of Shadows }

Whaaat.... Are you kidding me? Really, are you kidding me you bastard.

"Go, eagle, faster..!"

Dammit.. I have to calm down..
