You Mad Bro?
"ATLAAAAS!!!" I walked forward seeing the army of monsters coming up the mountain. "ATLAS YOU COWARD! COME OUT AND FACE ME!!" The Romans give me a wide berth seeing me angry. The monsters stop their advance and roared in challenge. I just smirk and bared my teeth as I grew in size... 7feet... 8feet...10feet. Sleek black fur growing all over my body except my chest.
My body turned into the Gorilla form. My most preferred one. Although I could hold this form for a maximum of 40 minutes. "RAAAAAGGGHHH!!" I thumped my chest, heavy thumps, shaked the air. There were some monsters that took to the air like spooked pigeons, flying away from the mountain.
I roared leaping right into the monsters squishing them to paste and golden dust. Monster blood was spraying everywhere as I slammed both my hands down on the ground. In the corner of my eye I saw the Romans charging to my sides, slowly surrounding and outlining the cliff, leaving my to tend to the centre, creating a three-pronged attack, like a trident and an effective kill-zone.
This was very effective as it gave a lot of room for the archers and scorpions to pick off the stragglers that sonehow survived me and the army. I was going ham-crazy decimating the monster ranks, when I heard Reyna shout, "Max, retreat, The third cohort will take care of the centre."
I did not understand why but I retreated none the less turning back to my human form, not before throwing a huge tree that was uprooted. Although it did not kill many monsters, it did create another obstacle for them. I came to Reyna and asked, "Why did you-"
"He is trying to tire you out. Keep in mind that Atlas is a general. He is smart and calculative. Do not underestimate him in any way." I nod at her and sat down, taking a few deep breaths to calm down. She was right.
I watched as the monsters started to push back the Romans, but interestingly, not one fell. They kept retreating slowly as they killed, the floor was caked with gold dust of the fallen monsters. They retreated till they came to a bottle-neck that would make flanking impossible.
The Romans created a shield wall as crossbow, scorpion Bolts and arrows flew picking them off by the droves. I started chucking big basketball/cannonball sized rocks at them creating mass confusion in their ranks.
The Titan General must have had enough as we heard a deep rumbling roar, "Puny Mortals!! I shall make slaves of you and your brothers and family. I will kill them before your eyes before ending your pathetic lives."
He was trying to scare and intimidate the Romans, which was working as I could see doubt in their faces. I grabbed the golden eagle Legion banner Reyna was holding and spoke, my voice was amplified by the magic in the banner.
"HAHAHAHAA!!" The Romans were confused as to why I was suddenly laughing. "It seems the great Titan General has gone senile in his old age! Or did your imprisonment make you stupid?" I continued laughing my ass off when I saw a regular sized Atlas striding down in a business suit.
He walked in front of his army and spoke, "It seems we finally have a mortal with brains. How fascinating! Boy. Join my army and I shall give you anything if your hearts desire. I shall-"
"How about I kill you instead?"
The whole battlefield went silent. None dared to move as the Titan face morphed from a confident smirk to an ugly scowl.
"BOY!! I WILL KILL YOU AND EVERYONE YOU LOVE!!" Atlas charged me, spartan kicking me in the chest. I crossed my arms at the right moment absorbing the blow, but it broke my arm. I stood up to face him, when I saw a tree right in front of my face. *TWACK*
The hit left me dazed as he punched me, socking me in the chin. "Ugghhh..." Now I was slightly disorientated, wobbling on my feet, barely able to stand. My right eye was swollen shut, my sides were aching badly. I could hear Jason shouting for me to get up.
[Wait I can hear Jason. That means...]
My thought were interrupted by a massive fist slamming into my gut, knocking my air out. [Okay, that's more than enough. I took a deep breath, as much as I could without hurting my aching sides and "NOW!!!" I screamed my lungs out and suddenly there was a horn *BWOOOOOOO*
I was waiting for another punch to come but it did not. I opened my good eye and saw my 'on the spot plan' come into fruition. "You did good Reyna."
In front of me was the struggling Titan Atlas. He was bound by the Chains of Hephaestus, locking him in place by three Cohorts holding the chain, a Celestial gold spear was held to Atlas's gut by Reyna. The monsters were trying to break in, to free their master. But the Romans were on a victory high, Fighting ferociously as if possessed by Mars Ultor himself. They were not about to lose this hard earned Victory.
"Give the Legion the signal to retreat and get out of the way. I want to let loose after the beating I had to endure." Reyna nodded and signaled her Legion. I noticed in the corner of my eyes, that Jason although a bit hagard was trading insults with Atlas.
I chuckled and turned towards the approaching monster army. I lifted my axe and with that... every creature I summoned charged roaring, hissing, screeching their way towards the army, with myself as the spearhead of the charge.
The archers and javelins started shooting down the army while the animals kept them at bay, even pushing them back slowly. I had my fill of fun, cutting down swaths of monsters. I walked back to camp as I turned my attention to Atlas, "How the great have fallen..." I started mocking him saying that he was a failure.
