Chapter 752: New ranks
"Why have they not arrived yet?" Jiang Nan was pretty anxious seeing how the dragon scales on the door were falling apart bit by bit, losing its red lustre on its surface. There was no color on the faces of the people who were standing behind Jiang Nan and Master Guang Bo. All their lives they had heard of these 'soul eaters' and how they had decimated their thriving civilisation once and here they were again.
And this time, they were probably back with more power than ever before. Though they were afraid of death, they weren't afraid of facing their enemies. Their ancestors had sacrificed a lot for their survival and they would have to do it too. What's more, if Goku was here, it would not have been so difficult for them.
The young kid could easily destroy their enemies with one move, and even the leader had said that Goku had been gaining power in a terrifying speed and his power alone could destroy their dimension with one move.
This was terrifying but also exciting. They would finally have a leader who was ridiculously powerful, though he was never born in their place but he was essentially raised in their dimension. So it was good that Goku was groomed to be their leader.
But today the people were facing an unprecedented crisis. And they were hoping that Goku would be back in time to save them. Praying and hoping, but time waits for none and after 5 minutes of struggle on the door by the supposed 'soul eater', all of the dragon scales attached to the door finally fell off and the rock door crumbled into pieces.
And as if the soul eaters had heard the prayers of Jiang Nan, they became more agitated and with one last push they finally ended up destroying the whole door with one last burst. And immediately with no warning, various flying tentacles like creatures flew from the door and went straight to the people who were ready with their weapons.
"Warriors, formation!!!!!" Jiang Nan shouted on top of her lungs.
The warriors behind took out their dragon scaled shield in front of them. The formation seemed like the ones the old Romans used. The warriors stacked the shields one above another and the soul eaters who were ready to reap the souls were stopped by the shields and the spears that also had dragon scales.
The spears were long and sharp and some of the spears pierced through some of the small soul eaters. Jiang Nan had made small groups of warriors with shields surrounding them so that the flying small soul eaters would not come from behind and attack.
Their civilization had been annihilated once so they had proper knowledge from the 1st war. But they had also miscalculated the number of these small eaters and also they now had a new addition to their army.
the medium sized soul eaters. The last time they faced in the war, it was only a huge number of small eaters and some big soul eaters but apparently after a long time now, there had been new additions to their ranks and these soul eaters also were in huge numbers.
The warriors who were initially able to handle the soul eaters due to their weapons were now facing problems. The unstoppable were the middle sized guys and soon they were able to break the ranks of the small groups of warriors.
The eaters didn't take much time in engaging the warriors and they sucked the life out of them easily once they caught the warriors. There was no pain and no struggle once their souls were reaped. It was eerily silent for the dead ones. They only screamed when they were caught.
The other warriors looking at it gulped down their throats but this scary scene didn't make them fear, instead it gave the warriors more anger and determination to take these evil beings down.
"Kill them, Goku will be here soon. Then I want to see how far they dance."
"Yes, we just need to avoid casualties and everything will be alright."
"Fear not my friends. Their redemption will be here soon and we will take revenge for what they had done to our ancestors."
The warriors were brave enough and they have been trained since childhood, but the number of eaters that were pouring from the doorway was too much for the warrior and soon the number was so large that it seemed like the warriors were swimming among the hordes of the eaters. The shields that were used as protection were not enough to stop the tentacles of the eaters and soon the casualties were racking up in numbers.
"Goku, where are you? We need you!!" Jiang Nan was in tears as she looked around while fighting a mid-sized eater. She was devastated by seeing the dead bodies around. Her constant prayers didn't come to fruition as she hoped for.
