One sweep with his eyes was all General Toothpick needed to understand the general situation of this battle.
Seeing Captain Cinnabar in a pool of his own blood pained his heart but it wasn't unexpected, what he didn't expect to see was a warrior donning the already iconic red clothes of the Clown Society also losing her head.
He didn't know how they did it but what mattered was that they did it.
At this moment, time seemed to have stopped as only the elites of this battlefield were moving. Leading the Raging Tempest, the Skull Necromancer engulfed in green flames rode his Hell Horse rapidly to escape.
His skull that burned green flames rapidly scanned this battlefield.
Captain Toothpick observed, behind the necromancer were Blade, the little Pugilist who followed Legolas, Legolas himself, Christensen, and Captain Stokes who were hot in pursuit.
From their eyes, he could see the determination to kill.
Every other person in this battlefield was either still or too slow to make a difference, this was when General Toothpick finally reacted.
"Warriors, don't let the enemy escape!"
"Erect Earthen Walls and cut off his escape route!"
"Yes, General!"
Seeing the corpses of their comrades lying on the ground in pools of their own blood was all the motivation that these hunters needed, seeing the escaping Necromancer, they obeyed their General and did the deed.
General Toothpick also made his move.
"Advanced Earth Elementalist Ability: Ancient Mud Wall!"
Boom!
From the ground, a massive earthen wall with mystical runes rose up.
Unlike most other Elementalists, General Toothpick did not use an Elementalist staff as his weapon. What he instead used was an Elementalist glove that not only increased his element control speed but also his attack power.
As soon as his gloved hands smashed against the ground, the wall rose up.
He was not the only one who erected a wall. All the other Earth Elementalists in his personal hunter squad did the same as they erected massive earthen walls, turning this battlefield into a gigantic prison, trapping the enemies inside it.
As for the other hunters that were behind them, they didn't need General Toothpick's instructions before they knew what to do. freewebnovel.c om
None of them dared rush to engage in close-combat with this horrifying opponent but from a distance, they hauled attacks at him.
"Skull Specialty: Impenetrable Defense!"
During the little clash with Blade, as he escaped, he was inclined to separate from his Hell Horse but now facing this dangerous situation again, the Skull Necromancer had no choice but to integrate with the beast again.
As soon as he integrated with the Hell Horse again, the Skull Necromancer tanked the damage, but the next moment, he charged towards them.
"Skull Specialty: Knight's Charge!"
In an incredible display of superhuman powers, on activating this specialty of his, Diablo who was behind him since seemed to turn into the flash.
With incredible speed, this skeleton knight accelerated and merged with him. With 2 of his summons now in him, he charged at the earthen wall.
The green energy that engulfed him glowed brighter as with Diablo's massive round shield, he slammed at the wall with all his might.
BOOM!
The sound of collision was like exploding dominoes.
The ground cracked and vibrated like an earthquake was imminent.
Dozens of the Elementalists who erected the wall grimaced as they coughed blood on the aftermath, even General Toothpick winced slightly but he dared not lose focus as under his will, the runes reinforcing the wall glowed brighter.
The Knight's Charge was the Skull Necromancer's strongest one-hit attack.
Unfortunately, the wall stood strong. The expression on this necromancer's skull face turned to that of despair as he collided against the wall without escaping.
With this wasted opportunity, he lost his best chance of escaping.
With black lightning snaking through his body, Blade was the closest enemy that was directly behind his heels as this changed Pugilist clashed with him.
"You're not escaping under my watch, Hideous Skull!"
Blade slashed with Poseidon's Fury with incredible strength.
The Pugilist's arrogant words riled Daemon up completely. With eyes blazing green in fury, he turned to look at Blade. "I'll show you your place kid!"
"I'll show you why I'm the strongest!"
"Skull Specialty: Dance of the Dead!"
Bzzz!
Instantly, night seemed to descend in this battlefield and from the pitch-black darkness came out undead Horse riders all wielding different weapons.
Pushed to a wall, after a decade of getting this ability and using it last, the Skull Necromancer was forced to use it again. He directly called upon the souls of the victims who fell to his sword to come fight on his behalf.
This was not the Skull Necromancer's most powerful one-hit ability, but this was without doubt his overall most powerful ability by a mile.
General Toothpick's eyes widened as he recognized this ability.
"Don't let Blade fight alone!" He roared.
Without any more misgivings, General Toothpick left his defense and charged into the darkness. With his hands blazing with earthen fury, he smashed his way into the darkness directly to clash against this necromancer.
From inside the darkness came the dance of death.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
The sounds of battle reverberated like crackling thunder.
Legolas, having recognized the ability also acted with haste. Having deactivated his Beast Integration ability already, he no longer charged in to fight a melee battle because he was no longer needed for melee battle.
This ability may be dangerous but Legolas had complete trust in Blade.
This main character of Planet Darvis would not die a fool's death.
As a Summoner, Legolas's real specialty was commanding his beasts to battle, he used the Beast Integration so frequently because he didn't have a companion who could do the head-on battles on his behalf.
Now with Blade, he no longer needed to do all the work.
Legolas closed his eyes and focused.
-----
You have activated active ability: Commander of the Herd
----
Instantly, Legolas's green Summoner energy pervaded the battlefield like fire, diffusing into the body of all his beasts and massively empowering them.
"Predator, lead the charge!"
"Lucky, lead the Foxes".
"Follow Predator's lead".
"ROAR!" Predator roared with even more enthusiasm.
Against strong opponents that could give him a hard time, Predator was always over enthusiastic to give his best and this time was no different. The Nightmare Beast was like a monster possessed as he charged forward fearlessly.
Without hesitation, as Legolas controlled and commanded them from the rear, all the beasts rushed into the darkness to battle.
With his master taking the lead, Christensen did not hesitate as he also stayed behind and sent Leo in. Brutus turned Leo invisible as the now invisible Frost Wolf charged into the darkness with his frost powers blazing on all cylinders.
The Northern Continent was Leo's domain, and in his domain, Leo was deadly.
As a fire Elementalist, Captain Stokes dealt AOE damage from a distance.
Raging Tempest was also caught in the darkness so he had to fight.
For the next few minutes, this turned into a battle among elite superhumans.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The sound reverberating from inside the darkness was groundbreaking. For a few minutes, it felt like Dragon Shelter was experiencing the end of the world.
Bzzz!
After minutes, all of a sudden, the darkness disappeared, exposing inside.
With bated breathes, Legolas looked at the aftermath.
All the beasts were rightfully injured including Leo, Predator, and Zorro.
General Toothpick had a dislocated arm after the clash, the invincible Skull Necromancer no longer looked so invincible, he still stood but he had blood all over his body.
Raging Tempest also still stood but he also had blood all over his body.
Apollo was already dead after Blade's calculated attacks.
Diablo and Ghost were left in a wreaked state, the Skull Necromancer's undead army was reduced to nothing more than a squad of skeletons.
Only Blade's condition looked different, he was an extraordinary exception.
After all the commotion, Blade only suffered a nose injury.
With black lightning snaking through his body, he glared at the Skull Necromancer, awaiting his next decision so he could read it ahead of time.
Time seemed to freeze and this was when someone else acted.
Boom!
The sound of a canon shot reverberated, Raging Tempest did not expect it this time or better still, he was already too weak to dodge.
The canon blew this Wind Elementalist's head to bits.
