He Became A Monstrous Genius After Obtaining A Time Dilation Artifact-Chapter 37. Revenge of the hobgoblins 2

Kailen voyaged through the forest, shadow manipulation operating at full throttle.

After a period of time, he caught wind of about a 100 ginormous shadows, creeping through the forest a couple of long distances from him.

Accompanied with the sense of the 100 shadow creatures, he sensed their auras.

" 60 B ranked creatures, 20 C ranked and 20 A ranked . Perhaps I should let my shadow creatures handle this and sit this one out . Now that I think of it, I haven’t really taken the time to observe my shadow creatures exhibit their capabilities in a fight. I"ll let Vengeful sit this one out . I want to observe the others in action. If Vengeful appears,there won’t be any point to it. Since she’s S ranked, the fight will end in just a few seconds"

Making his decision , Everfrost at six metres , Avarice and Feral at 5 metres, the three dark fiend shadow hounds at 3 metres and the two A ranked shadow creatures created from two dead guys amongst the deranged awakeners at the black market appeared before him.

His gaze lingered on the dark fiend shadow hounds and the two shadows created from the deranged awakeners for a few seconds.

" Let’s give these guys a name. Shadow hounds, your names are Hound 1 ,Hound 2 and Hound 3.

For these guys.. " His gaze lingered on the ones created from the deranged awakeners then he voiced.

"Your names are.. ah why is this so hard forget it,let’s just pick a simple name , Menace and Phantom. Just thought of some interstellar movie I watched when I was 12 and clutched a name from the title,yeah ,that will do"

The dark fiend shadow hounds seemed happy ,thier gaze lingering on Feral. However Kailen knew from their gesture that the expression they made was one of mockery towards Feral.

He memory traced back to the time where Feral was rebuking them about Kailen giving them names when he deemed them worthy.

He chuckled slightly " It seems these guys took offense in the way Feral addressed them on that day hence the contemptful and mocking expressions towards her now that they have a name"

Feral however seemed unfazed,the creature ignoring them as though they were mindless buffoons .

Phantom and Menace, bowed,on one flexed knee, as an expression of loyalty flickered in their abyss like hollow eyes.

They stood at a towering 3 metres ,their obsidian builds radiating the aura of A ranked shadow creatures.

Kailen glanced at all his shadow creatures, then nodded in satisfaction.

Seated atop Everfrost’s back, the creature flapped its wings,traversing multiple distances in a few seconds. The other shadow creatures trailed behind them, their movements causing trees to sway and fall apart. Many creatures scurried away in fright,the unfortunate ones being squashed beneath them.

Finally , Darkhaven and small cohort arrived before the 100 hobgoblins ,causing havoc and mayhem to the flora and fauna in the vicinity with ferocious swings of their clubs that caused the air to rip apart.

" It’s all on you guys. Best of luck"

Kailen lept from the back of Everfrost ,landing on the back of Vengeful whom he had just summoned.

The creature bolted towards the sky , traversing heights that caused considerable distance to emerge between her master, his army and the bunch of ignorant buffoons that dared to attempt to fight her master’s powerful army ,as she snared inwardly.

Two pair of eyes,belonging to master and shadow creature ,observed the battle below.

The strange flute with intricate patterns appeared in the hands of Avarice, followed with a strange eery melody with a seducing feel .

The melody moved like a stream,landing on 5 B ranked and 5 C ranked hobgoblins that were approaching him from a distance with their ferocious clubs in hand.

Their greenish eyes azumed a scarlet texture,then turning towards one another,a maddened massacre ensued amongst them.

" Incredible " Kailen observed , his eyes filled with fanatic delight.

This took a while to describe ,but it had happened in the span of a few breaths.

An A ranked hobgoblin leaped into the air leaving dents at it’s previous position ,it’s massive club raised with barbaric ferocity, towards Avarice, having noticed the puny creature before it somehow had something to do with the strange massacre that had ensued amongst his fellows.

However before it fell into the clutches of gravity,and descended towards its target, a draconic roar,associated with shrill coldness and a gigantic ball of ice,tore through the air like a sonic boom,leaving a trail of frozen environs behind.

The ball of ice finally made contact with the creature ,freezing the hobgoblin completely.

It plummeted down from the sky in it’s frozen state with its club like a comet,landing on the ground with a boom sound, a testament of Everfrost’s power.

The frozen A ranked hobgoblin’s static body rolled on the ground for a few moments before finally coming to a halt.

The three dark fiend shadow hounds targeted the B ranked hobgoblins,moving unnoticed,their movements insidious.

They left tenebrous trails akin to what one would assume to be shadow smoke in their wake,each hobgoblin they passed falling down lifelessly and sprawled on the ground.

At a closer look, one would notice gaping holes in the bodies of the hobgoblins they passed.

As for the shadow hounds,the blood of the hobgoblins dripped endlessly from their mouths and claws, a testament of the damage their extremely sharp teeth and claws had weaved.

Phantom and Menace were engaged with some A ranked Hobgoblins in fierce combat.

A massive obsidian staff clung to Phantom’s hands, glowing with tenebrous intensity, the shadow creature’s obisidian figure floating before an A ranked Hobgoblin.

His abyss like eyes grew more hollow,and deep,a large ball of an extremely tenebrous acrid miasma shooting from the staff .

The miasma met another acrid substance , green one to be precise, that had proceeded from the mouth of the A ranked hobgoblin.

The air grew still for an instant,the two miasmas engaged in a fierce fight for domination.

Soon,the green acrid substance admitted defeat, tethering into oblivion,giving way for the tenebrous miasma to hurtle towards the hobgoblin’s eyes.

The creature screamed in profound agony, only to later be met with multiple attacks of the same kind from its adversary. The tenebrous acrid miasma seemed to have a corroding effect, as the hobgoblin’s body seemed to be ravaged continually .

Before it let out a final wail,it had turned into a husky version of its former self, emaciated greatly as though it’s complete vitality had been sucked away.

It fell down lifelessly, sprawled on the ground.

Menace however, suddenly begun to grow larger,from 3 metres to roughly the height of the hobgoblin he was engaged with.

The obsidian creature and the greenish giant were engaged in a battle of pure strength .

Club and fists met multiple times causing ripples of air to travel throughout the vicinity.

The club of the hobgoblin crushed into the jaw of the towering obsidian creature, sending Menace hurtling away. The hobgoblin shot towards the compromised enemy hurtling in the air with babarity ,smashing it’s ferocious club further into the obsidian creature’s jaw multiple times , causing it to plummet into the ground ,a large crater forming in at the shadow creature’s point of impact

[ Your shadow creature has died ,it will be taken into the shadow expanse to be revived for you to be able to summon it again]

A notification appeared before Kailen, who was observing the battle with intrigue.

His gaze lingered on towering Feral,her absurd and ridiculous dark flames reaping the lives of the remaining C ranked hobgoblins and causing extreme damage to some of the B ranked hobgoblins.

Menace had however,reappeared on the battlefield.

Kailen observed from Vengeful’s back, realizing the absurdity of shadow creatures. They could not die permanently . No matter how many times you managed to kill them,they would reappear to cause you further harm.

Unless you managed to kill the master,they would never truly face death. On the battlefield, they could really be terrible opponents in large quantities during a battle of attrition.

Everfrost used the advantage of flight to soar above the battlefield sending icicles and ice balls towards the hobgoblins.

The shadow creatures fought with mesmerizing efficiency for a couple of moments with their adversaries, completley managing to overwhelm their opponents .

After a couple of moments ,what remained of the hobgoblins were their lifeless bodies sprawled on the battlefield in various manners.

The shadow creatures stood on the former battlefield now turned an apocalyptic setting, with unfazed expressions,awaiting the next orders of their master.

Kailen observed his shadow creatures,getting a good grasp of how each one of them utilized their affinities in actual combat.

" These guys are powerful. To be honest. Shadow necromancy is really terrifying. Also I now have many corpses to use to form shadow creatures in the future in case I rank up and obtain more slots. Now where’s the lighting affinity I was promised "

[ Ahem, Tsk]
