Thirty-five minutes before, Evan was contacted by Eclipse...
"Metal Burst" Damian used one of his skills, unleashing a devastating explosion of metal fragments, causing widespread damage to monsters.
One of the A rank monsters died immediately, while some A and A+ rank monsters were injured because of his attack.
Other hunters took advantage of the damage caused by Damian and unleashed their attacks on the injured monsters.
The beginning of the monster tide was not good for the hunters, but under Damian's leadership, they successfully defended the front line utill the formation was recovered.
The area was completely devastated because of the powerful attacks of the hunters and monsters.
The ground was covered in the blood of both hunters and monsters, as both sides were trying their best.
At this moment Damian felt ten chaotic auras coming towards the front line from the direction where Amanda was fighting against the hell ape.
When he looked in that direction, he saw ten hell apes covered in black fire coming towards them.
He can feel the power of those ten hell apes was weaker than the S rank hell ape he saw earlier, but the aura of those ten hell apes was very chaotic.
'Why is the aura of those apes is so strange?' Damian thought when he saw the ten apes.
Because of the high level skill of the hell ape, even Damian was not able to see that those ten hell apes were actually clones, not real monsters.
But currently, Damian was fighting against four A+ rank monsters so he did not think much about them and left them to other hunters.
'They are much weaker than the S rank hell ape, other hunters should be able to handle them' Damian thought and continued his fight against the four A+ rank monsters.
When those ten clones were just five kilometres away from the front line, two A+ rank hunters and four A rank hunters went towards them.
When the clones noticed six hunters coming toward them, one of the clones increased its speed leaving other clones behind and dashed towards the hunters.
When those six hunters saw this, they sneered and launched their attack on the clone who was rushing forward.
The clone dodged some of their attacks, but it was still hit by most of the attacks and its body which was made from hell fire turned a little transparent.
But even after taking their attacks head on the clone did not stop and continued to rush towards them.
The hunters were stunned when they saw how the hell ape ignored their attack, and continued to rush towards them.
In an instant, the clone reached within fifty meters of their range.
Just as it reached within fifty meters of their range, its aura became completely unstable, and the body of the clone started to swell.
When the hunters saw what was happening their eyes opened wide, and a sense of impending doom engulfed them.
All of them tried to run away from there but it was already too late.
Boooooooooommmmmm-!!
A devastating explosion happened as the clone exploded. All six hunters were caught in the explosion, their bodies were blown away by the explosion as the hell fire generated from the explosion ravaged their bodies.
The life aura of two A rank hunters immediately disappeared both of them died instantly, while the aura of the other four hunters became very feeble.
The power of the explosion was very close to the attack of an S rank hunter.
There was no way for those hunters who were not prepared for such an attack to come out fine from such an attack.
'Damn, they are not real monsters' Only when the clone exploded did Damian realise they are not real monsters but clones.
After the six hunters who came to stop them were blown away, the remaining nine clones continue to move towards the formation.
Most of the hunters were busy dealing with other monsters, and it was impossible for them to stop the clones.
Seeing the situation Damian knew if he doesn't do anything the situation will turn worse for them.
"Metal Storm" a large amount of mana burst froth from Damian's body as he summoned a torrential rain of metal projectiles, raining down upon four A+ rank monsters he was fighting against, and causing widespread destruction.
All four monsters he was fighting against were caught in his attack, and were forced to defend themselves. One of the four A+ rank monsters he was fighting against was not able to react on time and turned into a meat skewer losing its life.
The other three monsters were also injured and were forced to step back.
Damian did not even look at the result of his attack, and already dashed towards the remaining nine clones who were just one kilometre away from the front line.
While going towards them Damian's eyes shined with a silver colour, and a large metallic wall rose in front of clones.
Seeing the large metallic wall, one of the clones once again increased its speed and exploded after coming near the wall destroying it completely.
Damian already expected this so he was not surprised, and by the time the clone destroyed the wall, he arrived before the formation where the clones were heading.
But when the metal wall was blown away Damian's eyes trembled because of the scene that greeted him.
After the clone exploded a large amount of hell flames came out from its body, but instead of scattering into the area, all the flames that came out from its body were absorbed by one of the clones who was coming from behind, and its aura become even more chaotic.
Seeing what happened a terrifying possibility came into Damian's mind and he felt his body turning cold.
Without thinking anything he shot tens of metal projectiles towards the clones.
But just as he attacked them, the clone who just absorbed hell flame lit up and exploded successfully destroying all the projectiles that were coming towards them.
The explosion was even bigger than last time and to Damian's horror, the hell flames that came out from its body were absorbed by another clone.
The amount of hell flames that came out from this clone was even larger than before, and when the clone absorbed the flames its aura instantly skyrocketed.
During all this time the clones never stooped moving, and now were just one hundred meters away from Damian and the formation.
Just as they reached within one hundred meters of range, six out of the seven remaining clones lit up.
Damian felt all hairs on his body stand up to no end and immediately tens of metal walls rose between him and the clones.
Booooooommm-!! Boooooommm-!!---
The next second earth shattering explosions happened one after another shaking the entire front line.
The metal walls Damian created were destroyed like they were made of paper, and powerful shock waves sent him flying backwards as he crashed on the ground coughing out blood in the process.
Even though he was sent flying Damian quickly stood up because he knew it was just the beginning.
When he stood up he saw a storm of black flames rising into the sky, but what terrified him even more was the figure of one of the clones who was greedily absorbing all the hell flames.
In less than two seconds the clone absorbed all the hell flames and its body started to swell up.
"Fu*k" Damian can't help but curse when he saw this and felt his blood turning cold.
"Iron Fortress" Damian's eyes shone and he created a large metal barrier around the clone trapping it inside.
At the same time, tens of metal walls rose around the metal barrier enclosing it from all sides. He knew if he doesn't lower the impact of the explosion many hunters will die.
Just as Damian created the metal walls
Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooommmmm-!!!!
An explosion that shook tens of kilometres of the area happened.
The metal barrier Damian created was blown away, the walls he created turned into dust without resistance and the entire area was engulfed by hell flames.
Damian was also caught in the explosion since he was very close to it, the formation wasn't able to handle the impact of the explosion and was immediately destroyed.
Even the array that was connecting the formation was destroyed making it completely useless.
When monsters saw the formation disappear some of them run past the hunters and dashed towards the A rank zone.
All the hunters were stunned because of such an unexpected turn of events and were not able to react immediately.
"Go after them" but soon they heard Damian's voice and saw he was floating in the air.
He was heavily injured and was missing one of his arms.
When they heard Damian some of the hunters quickly rushed after the monsters as everything on the front line became chaotic.
