Chapter 27: Chapter 27: Victory
As Jano's aerial forces joined the ground battle, the constant barrage of arrows from the skies caused the morale of the Titan armies to plummet.
The commanders of the Goblin forces laughed heartily at the sight.
"Foolish Titan slaves! Your doom is upon you!"
But despite the chaos, the Titan forces didn't break. They gritted their teeth, holding their ground under the relentless arrow rain from above, and focused on the battle in the center of the field where the Thunder Titan Atiri was still pressing against the Goblin King Amigul.
The civilized Troll Clan leaders shouted,
"Raise shields, raise shields!"
Meanwhile, the less civilized Mud Monsters lifted the bodies of fallen enemies above their heads, and the Wild Boars, Ogres, and Half-Giants grew even more frenzied, launching their attacks with savage fury as they endured the barrage from above.
Meanwhile, in the sky, Jano led a squad of hundreds of Exalted Wings into the fray. They confronted a young Titan, still immature but already a legendary powerhouse, swinging a strange whip against a Dwarven Legend.
Jano commanded,
"Archers, aim for their weak spots! Fire the Lightpiercing Arrows!"
This was a technique developed by the Winged using their mastery of light energy.
"First round! Eyes!"
Hundreds of specially made bronze arrows, glowing with intense light, were fired straight at the young Titan's vulnerable spots!
Without waiting for the result, Jano led his forces to flank the Titan.
"Second round! Neck!"
...
"Twelfth round! Groin!"
After twelve rounds of concentrated fire, the young Titan let out a weak howl, its body battered and bleeding.
In rage, the Titan swung its massive body, sending a deadly storm of dust and debris toward Jano's forces, but the Wings were prepared, swiftly dodging the attack.
The Dwarven Legend, seizing the opportunity, swung a massive steel axe, cleaving off the Titan's head.
The Titan's head fell to the ground, and the battlefield fell silent for a moment.
It was the first Titan to be killed by mortals, not even a Dragonborn or Titan themselves.
It was a moment that proved mortals could indeed slay gods!
A great cheer erupted from the Goblin forces and their allies.
Amigul, the Goblin King, watched as the severed Titan head was lifted by the mortals and hung in the air by the Wings, proclaiming the power of mortal races. This sight pushed Atiri over the edge.
The Thunder Titan, his golden eyes burning with fury, summoned lightning that darkened the skies.
"You ants! How dare you desecrate a god! I will slay you all!"
With a deafening crash, eighteen towering bolts of lightning descended, annihilating tens of thousands of soldiers instantly.
Yet, just as Atiri reveled in his power, a strange feeling of dread gripped him.
The Holy Spear, once held by Amigul, suddenly erupted in blinding silver light. A strange, unavoidable force locked onto Atiri, and he realized he was facing his doom.
Amigul's voice echoed in his ears, full of ominous foreboding, "Holy Spear, pierce him!"
An unfamiliar mechanical voice resonated in the air,
"Thunder Law has activated! Space distortion detected! Locking onto his kin's bloodline, locking onto his heritage! Locking onto his power source! Verdict: Piercing!"
The world went white as the blinding light washed over the battlefield, and when the light faded, the once-immense Thunder Titan had fallen, his energy drained, on the brink of death.
His once-proud eyes now held nothing but emptiness as he collapsed.
He forced himself to stand, then shouted to the two adult Titans nearby, "Bardex, Emex, take the children and leave!"
"Atiri!"
The two adult Titans' eyes turned bloodshot.
