At once, five hordes race toward Susan and Kira's direction with their huge weapons.
Although Kira and Susan didn't have Addison's ability, their perception was very high. Besides, the tiger beast mount snorted frequently in a certain direction.
William appeared on a huge dune and looked in the distance as the scorching sun beat his forehead, sweat dripping down from the corner of his face.
'What the hell!?'
Whoosh!
His eyes reddened with veins protruding from his forehead. He gripped his two daggers tightly and approached the ongoing one-sided battle.
Robert was a Second Circle Existence with an Enhance Reflex ability — Swiftness. His attack wasn't the most dangerous nor the most powerful, but his ability to survive and kill enemies was unprecedented.
Huh!
Three people fell on the ground with blood gushing out from the corner of their mouths as they looked at the incoming huge ax, crashing toward their head with a deadly momentum. A sigh escaped from one of the three, as they closed their eyes, waiting for death.
Thud!
A sound echoed beside their ears but nothing happened to their body. They held their breath with heart thumping wanting to jump out of their chest as they opened one of their eyes slowly.
What the hell!?
The headless corpse of the horde lay a couple of feet from them as blood gushed out of his neck, dying the yellow sand blue. The three looked at each other and saw the stunned expression on each other's faces. Subconsciously, the three turned their heads at the same time toward the raging battle in the distance and saw another person that wasn't part of their team.
Who the hell is that!?
They cried in their mind as their breathing returned to normal slowly. At the center of the battle, Jackson protects Addison as the ash cloud pushes the assassins' hordes back. Unfortunately, he couldn't maintain the ash cloud consistently while moving back and forth from their sneak attack.
Sweets dripped from his foreheads and his cloth were drenched. Blood sipped from his nose as he clenched his teeth. Likewise, Addison wasn't doing any better. Blood dripped from the corner of her and her face pallid from the overuse of her ability.
Although she doesn't have an attacking power, nevertheless, she warns the people from the various sneak attacks of the hordes, saving a couple of people. Thus, making her a pin in the ass.
The Genesis team was on their last leg as they were trying to survive the onslaught with their last breath when William joined the battle. In the beginning, the hordes didn't take him seriously, only after a couple of hordes died in his hand did they realize things were getting out of hand.
Realizing this, the Genesis teams' faces brightened and their morale rose a bit. Thus, making them persevere a little more. Just when the hordes were trying to deal with William, a whistling sound echoed on the battlefield, reaping the lives of various hordes.
What's that!? The prisoner shouted in their direction as they looked at the direction of the attack. Behold, Merab stood firmly in the distance on a high dune and released tens of golden arrows in quick succession.
Nika's solemn expression softened when he saw the golden arrows. He groaned and blocked a deadly attack with his feet and stumbled backward with blood coming out of his chest and mouth. The despair in his eyes and that the other people had disappeared and replaced it with burning hope.
With the addition of William and Merab, the tide of the battle had changed as the assassins' hordes were not trying to kill humans but trying to survive their onslaught.
With every passing moment, the number of the hordes decreased and fear began to appear on their faces. Just when they thought the situation wouldn't get any worse. Mack and his team arrived on the battlefield and a complete massacre began.
….
Deep in the desert, the raging sandstorm reverberated everywhere, covering the sky and amid the sandstorm was a powerful battle. Two humans and a beast were fighting five powerful hordes.
'Fuck, this sandstorm is affecting my lighting power.' Susan gritted her teeth as she sidestepped a dangerous ax attack and twisted her body and retaliated with a palm attack.
Bang!
Ah!
The unexpected retaliation from Susan stunned the hordes as he was sent flying. Blood splashed out his mouth and the sound of bones breaking echoed in his ear.
Although the sandstorm limits human abilities, it is a heavenly mark. It gave a fighting chance and that changed the outcome of the fight.
Ah!
A horde was pinned to the ground by a golden spear as life drifted out of his body. He looked at Kira and couldn't understand how she could have such power in her petite body.
They were elites among the desert horde army, yet they couldn't defeat ordinary humans. Since they arrived on earth, no humans pose a threat to them except this group which surprised the entire desert hordes army.
Kira didn't know what was the last thought of the hordes as she took a deep breath and looked at the distance.
A battalion of elite desert hordes stood firmly in the sandstorm and stared at them with their leader seated on a strange beast.
"This is getting more interesting," Kira muttered and withdrew her spear from the dead horde. She walked with a firm gait toward Susan as the powerful storm blew her heirs backward.
Kira and Susan stood side by side, gripping their weapon tightly as they looked at the commander of the horde army. They felt an increasing sense of danger from him but that didn't deter them from fighting him.
The elite hordes consist of tier 4 grade 3 while the captains were grade 4, tier 1, and 2. And the commander of the battalion was grade 4, tier four. He was close to reaching grade 5, making him extremely powerful.
"Humans, you surprised me and we underestimate you…" The hoarse voice of the commander echoed in the sandstorm. "But you can't escape your fate— Death."
He said casually as if it was already set on stones. Susan and Kira looked at each other and the solemn expression on their faces softened as a light smile crept up to their faces.
'Where did this beast get his confidence?' Susan asked.
'Don't know. But if we capture him and ask nicely. I know he will surely tell us.' Kira looked at the commander as the corner of her lips curled up into an evil grin.
Although the horde commander didn't know what was going on between the humans. He sensed they were looking down on him and this made him furious.
'I must feed their body to my mount.' He snorted and raised his huge arm.
"Attack!" His rustic hoarse voice bellowed. "The one who killed them would get promoted. And if you capture them alive, you will have many human women to spend the night with."
Hearing this, the gazes of the soldiers turned crooked as they looked at Susan and Kira, not just enemies but prey that must be captured.
"Little sister…"
"Please, I don't want to join any of your insane games. Let's just kill them and be done with it."
"You're no fun." Kira snorted and jumped on her mount.
"I know. Since I know I won't win against you, why bother in the first place." Susan shrugged.
This was one of the times she let go of her cold facade and behaved like a normal lady. With Kira around, she had accepted that she couldn't behave like her previous self around her unless she wanted to be teased to no end. And that she couldn't bear to withstand. Teasing was the bane.
When the elite hordes were only a couple of meters from them. The two ladies moved at the same time.
"Futile effort!" The commander snorted.
Unknown to the commander, Susan and Kira were saving their strength in the previous fight. Thus, giving the hordes false hope.
"Lightning world"
"Intense Penetrating Thrust"
Susan and Kira attack at the same time as two blinding light flashes out of their weapon. Seeing the two powerful attacks, the incoming hordes were stunned for a moment before they swallowed them whole.
Ah! Ah! Ah!
Various miserable screams echoed in the sandstorm as blood. flesh and bone scattered everywhere. The battle was not going according to the script the hordes had in mind as many of them were lost in a single attack.
Susan and Kira had three golden circles shining brightly on top of their heads while the heavens marking on their fore also lit up. Now, it was a double combo.
Lightning and golden spear attack flash through the hundreds of hordes, followed by their miserable wails. Kira on her mount was just too fast for the attack of the hordes to hit her while the Susan lightning attack forced the hordes back every time she attacked.
In a blink, hundreds of elite had fallen under the attack of two humans, shocking the commander. When he recovered from his initial shock, his muscle bulged and veins protruded from his body. The light armor on his body cracked a little as it couldn't withstand his transformation.
"Dieeeeeee!"
The sand in the surrounding area turns into sand bullets and flies toward Susan and Kira at extreme speed.
