296 The Demigod
The huge hooves hitting the ground as the centaur charged made a dull thud.
Su Wan thought that Xu Yuan wouldn’t help her in the future if she asked him to fight right now. She needed to at least try first before seeking his help.
Su Wan summoned the Heavy Blade Warriors. She ordered them to attack the centaur.
The Desert Fisherman Lord looked shocked. How could a human have such powerful mechanical puppets?
Su Wan, who was controlling the Heavy Blade Warriors with her will, felt immense pressure. Her face turned solemn. She knew how terrifyingly strong the centaur was.
The soulless centaur stomped on the ground and attacked fiercely.
Xu Yuan watched the show from midair. Since Su Wan wanted to prove herself, he was happy to let her try. If she was in any danger, he would step in.
The earth shook. The Greataxe wheezed through the air. Its alarming force could even split mountains. The Heavy Blade Warriors extended their blades and met the attack head-on.
The sound of metal clanging rang through the air. Sparks flew from the impact.
The Heavy Blade Warrior’s feet sank into the ground. The centaur possessed unimaginable strength.
The fight reached a peak. The direct combat between the two forces was an intense blur. Su Wan felt the pressure of the fight as she willed the Heavy Blade Warrior to block and parry.
The Heavy Blade Warriors fought fiercely with the centaur. No one interfered in the fight from both sides. The shockwave of the battle was great enough to injure them if they got close.
The Desert Fisherman Lord got angrier as he watched the fight. ‘D*amned humans!’
The melted crystals were still flowing rapidly into the crystal ball. He could feel the world around him getting unstable by the second.
If the magic was consumed, it might destroy the whole world of the mermen. The Desert Fisherman Lord couldn’t let that happen.
“Mermen, attack!” he shouted. “No matter the cost, we must stop that damned human!”
The mermen archers made way for the melee fighters.
The burly mermen with tridents in their hands jumped down to join the fight.
The lake was so high that jumping down would be suicidal. However, the mermen still went ahead without hesitation.
Su Wan sort of had an idea about the mermen and their madness now. The crystal ball she held seemed to be transforming as it devoured the magical liquid. She could feel the power changing within it.
If she gave it more time till it devoured all twelve crystals, then she could get a lot of benefits out of it! Even if the heavens should intervene, she would make sure the flow wasn’t interrupted.
Moreover, with Xu Yuan around, nothing could go wrong.
The mermen jumped down from the sky with their tridents at the ready. The mermen tried to attack Su Wan to break the crystal ball. However, they couldn’t move. They couldn’t descend to the ground.
The special power of the place prevented that from happening. Numerous mermen gathered in one area and charged. The remaining Heavy Blade Warriors formed a defensive line with the Blazing Night Elf Archers and the Rotten Cavalry at the rear.
The mermen suffered heavy losses. They became easier targets as they floated in the air.
The battle was intense. Both sides were unwilling to give in.
Su Wan was also at a stalemate. The centaur fought fiercely and didn’t reveal her abilities yet. She only used brute force.
Su Wan felt a drain in her energy while controlling the Heavy Blade Warriors. The centaur, in contrast, seemed light of foot and didn’t even break a sweat.
The centaur’s Greataxe occasionally slashed at the nearby rocks and shattered them to pieces. Two mermen were close to the rock and the impact killed them.
Su Wan took advantage of the opening and approached the centaur from the side with a knife. She then flung the knife, which slashed at the centaur’s back.
However, even as the knife hit and lodged into the skin, there was no blood. In a span of few breaths, the knife fell free, and the wound healed by itself.
Su Wan’s face darkened. The centaur healed fast, so any damage they could inflict on her had no bearing. It didn’t even slow the centaur down!
For some reason, the centaur seemed soulless. She couldn’t even use her abilities. However, the centaur had some power that nobody could fathom. It was far beyond anyone’s imagination and locked deep within.
As the battle raged on, the aura of the crystal soared. A dim light enveloped the remaining crystals. They were being devoured rapidly.
“Smash that ball and stop them!” shouted the Desert Fisherman Lord.
He could feel the lake becoming unstable. The fear in his heart grew. The mermen launched a frenzied attack. The defense line was on the verge of collapse.
Xu Yuan spat out a potent dragon’s breath. The mermen who were still jumping down from the sky bore the brunt of the flames.
