Nova Roma

Chapter 74

That night Flavio was tired after making the plans and ordering the boats to adapt, he just had to wait until they were completed and that the navy will take their positions to drop the fire on their heads.


Scratching his eyes Flavio prepared to go to sleep took his things and headed home he had to rest because he did not know what tomorrow holds for his troops and him.


When he closed his eyes and got lost in the world of dreams he realized that something was wrong suddenly all the sounds went out there was absolutely none.


Flavio got up carefully from his bed. He knew something was wrong but he did not understand what it was. He could not discern if he was in a lucid dream or if something had happened but he had to find out.


He slowly got out of his bed preparing for anything that could attack him and a sword appeared with his divine energy which he took very cautiously, walked to the door of his room and opened it, where he could see a completely abandoned camp there was nothing or n.o.body even the sounds of insects sounded was a sepulchral silence.


I walk slowly through the streets of the camp while I was wondering what had happened and because suddenly everything was silent and there is no soldier in the place, fortunately, there was no fog at night, therefore, I could observe completely under the light of the Moon everything that was around him.


As he continued walking he began to realize that there was a strange noise coming from the jungle. He didn"t know what the h.e.l.l was going on but something was completely certain and it was that something or someone was going to leave that d.a.m.n place.


arming himself with courage he headed from the camp through the trenches to his command post where he fought mainly in the front line against the enemies thrown by the jungle.


Going through the trenches he realized that all the places where they should have been to the troops were empty, it is as if they had disappeared without even having the opportunity to collect their things.


when he reached his point of guard he could discover The cruel reality in front of him were some objects floating in the air like torches or some other objects, at that time Flavio knew he was in a dream but now he wondered what it was that He was causing him to enter a lucid state in his dreams to see these things.


the noise coming from the jungle was getting bigger suddenly a black hand came out of the jungle taking a tree as if it were a toothpick and threw it towards Flavio.


Flavio could see in the distance the tree that had thrown that black hand at him only avoiding it so he could hit it but he knew that that monster or whatever was going to leave the jungle was not friendly with him, therefore, The best way to keep an enemy under control is a dead enemy.


A giant like many of those he had seen left the jungle unlike the others, he had completely black skin and red eyes that illuminated his face as if they were two pieces of burning coal giving him a terrifying appearance.


Flavio prepared with his weapon because he knew that he was going to face that thing if he can call it that if he has the power to infiltrate his dreams and in a G.o.d he can be sure that it will not be a simple battle but that does not mean I"m going to give up and I"m going to allow them to do whatever they want even in their dreams.


The giant walked along the burned plain until he stood in front of Flavio and showed his incredible teeth which trembled as if he were hungry or angry, for Flavio this could only indicate that the fight could begin at any moment.


The giant with his foot launched a kick in which Flavio skillfully dodged the power of the kick was such that with his strength he can destroy part of a trench, Flavio prepared himself and threw his divine energy weapon over the giant.


His sword was buried in the side of the black body of that giant who attacked him in dreams, but it did not seem to affect the giant otherwise and only let him see a smile on his face and started running towards Flavio.


Flavio looked at that big thing that was running towards him running at full speed. All he could do was throw himself into a trench. Thanks to this action, the giant stumbled and fell on the ground three laps and cras.h.i.+ng into a messenger stand.


Flavio taking advantage of this opportunity and recreates another sword with his divine energy which I do not hesitate to throw again but this time pointing towards the feet of that giant monster.


Thanks to the fact that he was out of his senses because of the crash, he could not defend himself in time and therefore the sword was buried in the sole of one of his feet, this caused that they shouted and that his eyes became even redder he tried to take the sword but the moment he tried to grab it, he realized that his hand was burning, therefore he looked at Flavio with contempt before rising, completely ignoring the pain of having a sword on the sole of his foot.


Flavio smiled had realized that this giant and black monstrous thing had weakness could bleed although it was a dream he knew that if something happens to him he would be represented in the real world, it really was a low play by the jungle because Attacking him in his dreams was a very creeping blow but he had to admit that his tactics were increasingly improving, which was a danger to the battlefront.


The giant dedicated himself to chasing Flavio throughout the battlefield every time he tried to take the violence goes a sword of light which was buried inside his body will increasingly be the hatred that the giant gave off for pain and impotence of not being able to kill their prey.


Flavio decided that it was time to finish this and they were running for about 3 hours and it seemed to have no end that showed therefore he a.s.sumed that the only way to end it was to kill him quickly and what better way than occupying one of the canyons that the artillery used to deal with these beasts, it was only necessary to load it and fill the projectile with its sacred energy so that it could kill the giant once and for all.


To make the final attack he began to travel a path through the trenches which led to an artillery nest where he would dedicate the gun for a while escaping from the giant"s hands returning along the same path thus creating a chase in circles which allows Flavio to fill in gunpowder and place the ammunition to open fire and end this.


the giant chased Flavio again and again along the same path trying to take and finish once and for all but every time a sword approached it flew and buried itself on his body as he could not take it out he could only keep them inside by burning inside.


He did not pay attention to what Flavio was doing for him, there was only an end to the enemy who had ordered the conscience of the jungle, therefore he continues to do his job until suddenly he could see how his prey stopped in the distance, pointing at him what looked like a weapon but he didn"t care the only good thing was that he had stopped and it was the best time to end this annoying prey.


After reloading the cannon and aiming it at the giant, he decided to wait for it to be able to open fire, not that it could not fail but the recharge time was too slow and he wanted to finish with this garbage that dared to attack him in dreams.


When the giant was near Flavio occupied his divine energy to reinforce the projectile and watched as he approached, using a flint he lit the fuse of the cannon and in just seconds an explosion noise sounded and a headless corpse fell to the ground.


The last thing the black giant saw was a great object at high speed which went to his head, he knew he could not survive that attack so his red eyes shone and his smile was marked on his face at least now he is free, at that moment everything went black and his life was over ...
