Chapter 611 608:Attack On Clex City[5]
Aeon frowned, feeling an overwhelming pressure and screamed.
"Step aside. I repeat step aside and retreat to a safe distance."
"Sir, what about you?"The soldiers asked with a hint of weariness.
"I...I need to fight."Aeon took a moment to summon his courage and steel his heart.
The other party was at Mythic rank. Even though Aeon's foundation was quite solid and his Lord hinted that he could defeat opponents several times higher than his level, he wasn't sure if he had enough to even strike a Mythic rank but at this moment, all he knew was not to give up.
He can't step back, he can't retreat. His Liege had faced opponents several times beyond his league and emerged victorious. As his trusted soldier, if he can't even put up a front, he should just go and kill himself by drowning in a bucket of water as the war that was going to happen, you can't complain about your opponent's level.
"Ian, Hugo, take the soldier's retreat. I will stall time."
"No one is going anywhere. Everyone will die here."A man took off his hood and gave a sharpened glare.
"Who are you? If you are paid to fight then we can double the money, "Aeon asked wondering to which party this guy belonged.
"Allen stop wasting time and kill them."The ring on his finger glowed and Ken's anxious voice echoed.
"A dead man needs no information."A scythe emerged from his sleeve.
As soon as Aeon caught a glimpse of the weapon, he swiftly pivoted his body forward towards Allen drawing his sword.
As mana concentrated swirling around his body, it glowed blue and an intense shockwave spread hitting Aeon.
Aeon slashed his sword but the force of the blast sent him flying.
Rotating his body in the air, Aeon slashed, sending a bright sword arc that was cut apart by Allen with a gentle shake.
"Damn it!"Aeon cursed, getting overwhelmed and as soon as his foot reached the ground, with every fibre of his muscles, Aeon summoned forth his strength propelling forward with an impressive display of speed and athleticism, leaving behind a huge crack behind.
In his hand, the sword glowed deadly with a sinister glint. As he charged at the fearsome opponent, the blade blurred with speed, aimed at deadly accuracy. With a quick twist of his body, he narrowed down the distance between them in an instant.
Then clenching the hilt of the sword tightly, Aeon with all his strength executed a series of swordsmen as taught by His Lord.
[Iron Heavy Swordsmanship]
Allen's expression turned serious, feeling a sense of crisis as Aeon's image moved leaving behind a trail of cracked ground.
Swish!
Soon, sounds of metal crashing on metal echoed through the place as two high-level warriors crashed stirring up clouds and dust in their wake.
CLANG!CLANG!CLANG!CLANG!CLANG!
Sparks flew, condensed pressure of the shock wave swept away everything. The burning flames around were swept away by shockwaves hitting them and the remaining building started to crumble.
Ian and Hugo, along with the soldiers, retreat back while mending their wounds by taking potions.
"Can Aeon win?"Hugo asked, unable to observe the movements properly.
"I don't know. Aeon is strong, very strong. However, even though he looked like winning, it seems he was getting pushed back.''Ian assesses the situation with worry.
Watching from the sidelines, everyone couldn't help but marvel at Aeon's incredible prowess.
Aeon blades struck with lightning speed, mocked Allen's defence as they sliced through his calf, sending a spark of blue flames shooting in all directions.
With each step he took, Aeon twisted his direction seamlessly, blending his breath with the fluid motion of his weapon. It was an elegant dance of blades, a blurred movement that was both secretive and lightning-fast.
It was clear that Aeon's swordsmanship and technique were way polished and cut above the rest but this wasn't enough.
Allen, scythe condensed with a mass of mana detonated when Aeon's sword collided.
A pair of opposing forces tried to force one another but Allen's mana being denser and stronger, the explosion of mana blast was pushed towards Aeon.
BOOM!
Aeon felt a numbness coursing through his arms as his body slid off the ground for many metres leaving a long trail of drag marks.
Aeon gritted his teeth and swallowed the blood.
Seeing this, Ian immediately gathered his mana channelling it into a concentrated mass of energy. With his right arm slightly bent, he conjured a sphere of blue lightning, crackling with raw power and growing size.
The amount of mana consumed was immense but Ian managed to complete the spell. A destructive spell he learned from Teacher Hurt.
[Lightning Sphere]
With a flourish of his will, he fired off his spell that pierced through the reaction speed of Allen and crashed over him.
ZPPPPT!
As soon as the spear came in contact with Allen, a deafening crack split the air as hundreds of currents inside it burst out attacking Allen ferociously.
Caught off guard by Ian's spell, Allen withered in surprise trying to protect his body by covering it with a dense layer of aura. Aeon poured all his strength into his attack and unleashed a massive wave of sword strike that covered Allen thinking that he couldn't miss the opportunity.
Allen who was attacked at multiple fronts was injured but it wasn't enough to defeat him.
With an angry roar, he stomped the ground creating a large crack and sending a powerful shock wave dispersion through the current by blast.
Then raising his paralyzed head, he used his scythe to defend the sword attack blocking the attack coming at his neck. With a sudden movement, his image flashed and he grabbed Aeon's head making a crackling sound and hurled him toward the building with tremendous force.
BOOM!BOOM!BOOM!BOOM!
A row of buildings shattered one after another as Aeon's body crashed onto like a rag doll. The impact was deafening, sending shockwaves rippling outwards and shattering things in its take.
"Aeon!"
"Sir Aeon!"
"Captain!"
Plea of panic echoed one after another seeing a layer of dust with the situation of their commander unknown.
Hugo rushed ahead, tearing the cloud of smoke in front of him, picked up Aeon's battered body with broken bones and ran under Allen's murderous gaze.
Pouring all his strength into muscles, he made a run pushing himself to the limit.
Allen came charging at them and threw a mana blast by slashing his scythe.
Hugo's back tingles and goosebumps crawled up on his back on sensing danger. He turned around and planted his shovel onto the ground, pushing the soil.
All his muscles bulged and a brown aura erupted as he dug the ground and pulled out the upper layer of soil.
[Dirt Tide.]
The ground trembled and a huge wave of soil emerged from the ground rising to the sky like tides of tsunami moved forward and crashed into the attack.
Dirt and dust rose and covered his visions and his heart screamed.
Then with a slight movement, Aeon jumped down from Hugo's shoulder and winced in pain, unable to take steps properly.
"Aeon…"
"We can't run, we don't have anywhere to run. We can't out-fast a Mythic rank. Let's do an all-out attack."
As soon as his voice, Aeon gripped his sword tightly and summoned the last bit of his strength he attacked.
His sword glowed fiercely and with layer after layer of mana concentrated on it, he slashed ahead.
[Abyssal Slash]
"Ian help us," Hugo screamed while concerned about his mana, he thrust his shovel at Allen in the smoke screen.
[Piercing Thrust]
A concentrated mass of pressure shot like a beam tearing everything in front of it.
[Flame Solaris]
Ian poured every bit of mana and decided to unleash his ultimate strike.
A huge ball of sun appeared above and crashed over Allen.
"Do you think it can kill me."
"Hahaha!Naive!"Allen roared violently as his eyes showed in madness.
Bluish lightning crackled converging over his scythe and condensing a huge amount of mana that shook the place, he exploded the mana to resist the impending attack.
Just then….
BOOM!BOOM!BOOM!BOOM
A sudden burst of flames erupted and swiftly engulfed the entire place, painting the sky with fiery red.
Hugo pierced his shovel on the ground whereas many clung to the ground bracing themselves against the ferocious waves of heat threatened to sweep them away.
The ominous sound of the protective defence barrier shattering like glass echoed in Ian's ears as he waited for the defeating explosion to be over.
As Earth finally stilled, deafening roars died down. Ian suddenly lifted his head and his eyes met the sight of utter devastation. The explosion obliterates what remains of human settlement, wiping out everything in sight.
Sighing in relief, Ian got up and walked towards Hugo and Aeon's side who were lying over a mass of broken debris.
"It seems we won, "Ian muttered.
"Umm!" Aeon nodded his head while Hugo just blinked his eyes and almost cried.
It was just his first battle and he had already faced death a second time. It is so cruel.
"I think ten sets of bones have been broken. I can't even use a potion as it makes things join at odd angles."Aeon grumbled with a pained expression
"Just bear a bit. You will soon be treated."Hugo muttered.
Just as they were about to rejoice, from the deafening roar of flames that subsided a massive shadow shot up.
With a bloodied face and ragged clothes, he bent his legs preparing to launch himself.
BANG!
In the blink of an eye, his muscles bulged and ground beneath his crack as he lunged toward them.
"RUN!"Aeon screamed.
BOOM!
Aeon, Hugo and Ian tried to veer their body to escape but all of them were flung away as Allen landed with a terrifying force sending shockwaves.
The barrier around Ian cracked and he spurted blood as his body bounced off the ground.
"If I was a bit late to react, I am afraid this place would have become my grave."Allen spat the blood that emerged from his lips.
Though he might look fine, his infernal was messy and his skin was burnt. For a high-realm warrior like them, a healing potion didn't have much effect
"I didn't want to kill you before but now I am gonna cut each one of you into pieces."
"Allen, don't kill them."
Ken, The president of the Black Market, a voice erupted from his ring who was looking at this from afar.
"No, I am gonna kill…"
BOOM!
Before he could finish his word, something went past his head and then his head burst out.
Ken freaked out but he wasn't able to scream due to the shocking scene of blood erupted from headless neck and sprayed like a fountain.
He was boasting a moment ago and now he is gone.
The entire place descended into deadly silence that was broken by a cold voice that lifted everyone's mood following which a loud blast, a majestic figure filled with awe descended from the sky.
"Acting cool, did you ask for my permission?"
