Chapter 3564
Everything for Vologis V
...
Atlas Tomé and Trajan's legions broke away from their respective battle groups and headed towards the location of Vologius V.
At the location of Vologius V, the guards led by Tiritaya and the imperial guards led by Perennis were locked in a direct confrontation.
With his outstanding personal strength, combined with the burst of power from the Emperor's Guard, Perennis advanced at a remarkably fast pace.
Even with Vologus V's guards fighting to the death, the speed wasn't slowed down much.
The disparity in strength between the two sides meant that even if the weaker party fought desperately, it would be difficult to achieve their intended goal. This disparity in strength made Tiritaya increasingly aware of it.
This near-omnidirectional disparity is even more disheartening.
But thinking of Volrogis V behind him, even if the underworld lies ahead, Tiritaya is determined to venture forth!
Perennis charged forward at an extremely fast pace, quickly closing the distance between himself and Vologius V to within fifty paces.
At such close range, without the suppression of the army's cloud of energy, Perennis only needed to draw his sword to deliver a fatal blow to Vologis V.
Even with the suppression of the clouds, Perennis could still pose a huge threat to his opponent at such close range.
Perennis drew the short sword from his waist, tested its feel in his hand, glanced at Vologis V in the distance, and then pinched the tip of the sword between two fingers.
As he grasped it, he mobilized his internal energy, frantically gathering it into the short sword.
Despite the suppression of the army's cloud of energy, the short sword that was being held still radiated the light of will and cloud energy.
His gaze was fixed directly on Vologus V, who was still sitting on his horse. He made no attempt to conceal his actions or his attack; he was completely open and honest, making no attempt to hide his malice.
With a full-force throw, the short sword, imbued with inner energy and willpower, created a massive cloud of energy as Perennis hurled it.
At such a short distance and at such a high speed, there can only be one result: this attack will hit its target in an instant.
Given Vologius V's own strength, he would have absolutely no chance or possibility of reacting to an attack of this magnitude.
Before Perennis launched his attack, Vologis V had already noticed him. After all, the other party made no attempt to conceal his presence, and even the glint of his short sword attracted Vologis V's attention.
Realizing that Perennis's target was Vologis V, he remained unmoved and did not try to dodge. He simply sat calmly on his horse, watching the attack that was about to strike him with an extremely indifferent gaze.
Perennis, having just unleashed his attack, watched as it flew directly toward Vologis V. He saw that the other man showed no fear or apprehension, remaining calm and composed, as if accepting his fate.
But just as the dagger was about to hit Vologius V, a spear extended from the side and deflected the dagger thrown by Perennis with its tip.
Seeing that his throw had no effect, Perennis was not surprised at all; on the contrary, he thought it was quite normal.
The only regrettable thing was that Vologius V's calm and composure made Perennis realize even more clearly that this Parthian emperor truly lived up to his title. Even those in high positions, despite their courage and decisiveness, cannot escape the fear and dread of death.
However, as the Parthian emperor, Vologus V was more accepting of death than he had imagined.
"Do you trust your subordinates' abilities, or can you truly face this calmly?" Noticing the result of his attack, Perennis shook his head slightly, then picked up the spear beside him and led the Imperial Guard Legion to continue the attack.
With only fifty paces to go, all the enemies blocking the army's advance will be eliminated, and naturally, Vologus V will be able to be killed.
Based on the previous pace of progress, Perennis didn't think this was a long time coming.
"Your Majesty, please allow me to go first!" Tiritaya said calmly and peacefully as he deflected the attack of the short sword with his long spear, and then rode forward on his horse.
Having been in contact with Ma Chao and experts from the Han Empire, and being a renowned expert from the Parthian Empire, Tiritaya naturally possesses the corresponding talent and aptitude.
After letting go of jealousy and pride, Tiritaya's path of spiritual practice was smooth sailing.
Even a year ago, Tiritaya had already reached the critical point and was ready to break through at any time, becoming a demigod-level expert that the world envied.
However, faced with the temptation of becoming a demigod-level expert, Tiritaya did not choose to break through by taking advantage of the opportunity, but instead chose to endure.
Because breaking through to the demigod level, or breaking through to the boundary level, involves a special ability, or rather, a special limitation!
"At the moment of breaking through to become a demigod, heaven and earth will connect with me, and the penetrating will will occupy my entire body, forcibly accepting and possessing it. In addition, I will have the surrounding essence of heaven and earth. In the state of inhaling and exhaling, I will greatly enhance my physical condition, thereby making up for my physical shortcomings..." Tiritaya slowly described the benefits enjoyed by a normal person after breaking through from internal energy separation to the realm of breaking.
In this process of communication that spans heaven and earth, the heaven and earth connected to the breakthrough will, to a certain extent, exclude and exempt the suppressive effect brought by the army's cloud aura.
In other words, as long as this power can be suppressed and unleashed at the right time, even if surrounded by a large army, Tiritaya can unleash the power of a world-breaking expert in a very short time.
If surrounded by a large army, this level of strength would be enough to clear a path for Vologus V.
As for how long and how far this road is, Tiritaya, who has never personally traveled it, has no idea.
But it was this will and obsession, this loyalty to Vologius V, that made him stand out.
Based on his trust in Hans's information, Tiritaya kept suppressing his feelings, waiting for the day when such a thing might happen.
If this thing never happens, that would be the best thing of all. Therefore, Tiritaya, who has put aside her pride and jealousy, can always regard herself as someone who has left her body to cultivate internal energy.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned, and Tiritaya ultimately chose to break through, specifically on the battlefield.
Everything was for Vologis V! (End of Chapter)
