Uno walked through the battle lazily, smashing heads in with his hammer as he walked forth. Many goblins roared and tried to stop him, but they were casually smashed to meatpaste on the ground.

When he met with a fellow tank on the opposite side who was at Rank 6, he paused with a raised eyebrow. The fellow was a hobgoblin with a buff body and kitted in full heavy armor that was of the Epic Rank.

This was definitely a top fellow in this kingdoms and was likely sent out to stop the charge of the core members. Seeing that Uno was a fellow 'defender' he thought the two would cancel each other out , especially since he was 1 Rank higher.

The longer he could stall Uno, the more damage he could do. Since it would give the other Rank 7 powers time to clean up the other blokes and then come finish the despicable human off!

Uno glanced at the fellow and read his thoughts. He was amused and didn't even bother to check the fellow's HP, simply walking forward as if he couldn't see him.

The Goblin Tank was filled with fury and rushed at Uno, waving his mace. Uno easily blocked the attack with one hand, causing the face of the Goblin t=Tank to be filled with shock.

Even though he wasn't the strongest bloke out there, he was still a powerhouse! How could Uno easily block his casual strike, especially when there was Rank Suppression?!

Uno smiled and then raised his hammer, swinging it forth towards the head of the Goblin Tank. The fellow sneered at Uno and raised his shield up to block the hammer, feeling that he could easily replicate Uno's trick just now.

As such when the hammer collided, his Epic Rank shield shattered immediately and then turned the fellows head into pieces of meat that flew through the air.

Instant kill of a Rank 6!

While Uno was doing his thing, Dreary Traveler was moving to the south with his legions of undead that grew with every step. As another member of the Four Directions Slaughter Wave, he was contributing the highest to the kill count.

Dreary Traveler simply sat on the back of a Bone Dragon as he hovered over the battlefield. He had a bored look on his face as the screams of mortals and warriors below entered his ears, and his face looked to the horizon.

How was his beloved his loli doing? He missed playing with her, especially putting her on the torture rack and then subjecting her to all kinds of horrors while her euphoric expression showed.

Thinking of her, Dreary Travelers cold and handsome face broke into a smile. He knew he couldn't live an extra day in this world if Hera was not with him.

His Bone Dragon made a cry and Dreary Traveler snapped out of his reverie. He noticed that the entire city below had been brutally slaughtered by his undead army, so he sighed and raised them all up.

The Undead Goblins who had once hated Dreary Traveler to their bones now bowed to him before picking up their weapons and marching within his army obediently.

By the time he cleared his direction, his army should shape up quite nicely, Dreary Traveler thought with a calm smile.

Meanwhile to the west, Sanji was moving through the battlefield like a hurricane, using his glowing red feet to smash his foes into embers.

Sanji puffed out a small cloud of smoke from his cigarette and then looked at the city below him. He was casually stepping on the air, and only those with Control or elite senses could notice that his legs were moving ever so slightly with each second, exerting enough force to keep him airborne.

Sanji sighed as he looked down. He wasn't much of a bloodthirsty fellow and killing was not really his thing, but the orders from above stated his duty and he would follow them to the letter.

A look of pity appeared on his handsome face, but he didn't slow down at all. Immediately his legs exploded with red flames that slowly turned black, and made all living beings tremble as it targeted more than just the body, but the soul too.

Sanji then casually kicked downwards, causing huge leg shaped flames to rush downwards and into the city, causing huge explosions that shook the very earth itself.
