Chapter 614 Second Crimson Flash
While the Heart Kingdom's commander is trying to cope with Mana's Turbulence, the main battlefield becomes more unpredictable. Initially, Nergal's army had more numbers and high-grade combatants. However, it changes as the H squad releases the Blood Terror creature.
With its intangible figure and strong mental attack, many of the Nergal's elite soldiers fall under its claw. Still, this situation only happens for a moment until two sixth grade and a veiled woman come to the battlefield.
The two sixth-grade combatants are fighting against the H squad while the veiled woman is trying to hold the Blood Terror. Their appearance gives the other Nergal fifth-grade leaders moves to break through.
Unfortunately, the Heart kingdom already realizes the new three unknown people from long ago. Besides the veiled woman, they know the identity of the two sixth-grade combatants. One of them is their most wanted criminal, the Mad Monk Orpus.
While the other is the leader of the famous Scorpion mercenary group in this Humane region, Asvog. Although Jane and the others couldn't identify the veiled woman, they still couldn't underestimate Orpus and Asvog.
Moreover, Asvog also came with his subordinate. He was also accompanied by two fifth grade under his command. This sudden reinforcement puts more pressure on the H squad.
Therefore, Jane also dispatched more fifth-grade and elite soldiers to help the Duke and Duchess to buy them more time for the Magic Cannon. Spells and skills are flying everywhere, along with the painful cries.
Unlike the sixth-grade Duke and Duchess fighting in the air, the battlefield on the ground is entirely a mess. The H squad kept moving at high speed and hit the Nergal army.
Using their unique body and fast-thinking minds, they make the Nergal army unable to fight properly in fear of hitting their own.
Combined with the large-scale mental shock from the Blood Terror that occasionally happens throughout the whole area, the Nergal army cannot fight properly. As the Mad Monk Orpus and Asvog, they couldn't match the speed of the H squad.
Annoyed by the five H squad running around the battlefield, the Mad Monk Orpus claps his hand and gathers a large amount of mana. A moment later, Corpus tapped the ground with a mad smile. Noticing the Mad Monk's action, Asvog decides to retreat into the distance.
"Hahaha… Take this!! [5th Circle - Mass Corpse Explosion]." shouted the Mad Monk Orpus.
Suddenly, the surrounding area is enveloped with light as a series of explosions happen. *BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM* All the dead fallen corpses on the battlefield exploded simultaneously. However, the Mad Monk didn't stop his spell and kept maintaining it. 𝑏𝑒𝑑𝘯𝑜𝑣𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
As a result, the newly dead soldier from the explosion also exploded.
"Hahaha…" laughed the Mad Monk Orpus excitedly.
On the other hand, the Nergal Duke and Duchess in the air also noticed this change and cursed the Mad Monk Orpus. Most of the soldiers here are from the Nergals, while the Heart kingdom soldier is less than a quarter.
It means most of the ones that exploded were Nergal soldiers. Although the Nergal is a strict military kingdom, the Duke and Duchess still couldn't bear to lose their elite soldiers turning into bombs like this.
"Fuck, Orpus!! What the hell are you doing?!!" roared Duke Coldgust while still fighting the three fifth grade.
"Hahaha… I know you are crazy in the head, but not this crazy." said Asvog leisurely in the distance.
After a while, the explosion stopped as there was no other intact corpse in the Mad Monk's surroundings. Still, the chain explosion caught the H squad by surprise. Three Homunculus lost one of their arms with various cracks on their body.
The other two are getting worse as almost half of their upper body is destroyed and cracking. All the soldiers nearby could see parts and complex runes inside the five H squad.
Despite using various barrier spells, magic tools, and armor, they can still not protect their body from the Mass Corpse Explosion.
"Battle Golem?! No, they are too advanced and strong for that." commented Asvog.
"So, you are not a living being, huh? Well, no matter. I just need to crash all of you down." replied Orpus as he charged at the five Homunculus.
The five Homunculus didn't say anything while trying to calculate a way to defeat the Mad Monk Orpus. Unfortunately, their body is too damaged to properly fight back. They couldn't even cast any lower spells.
Just as Orpus almost reached the damaged H squad, a silver flash appeared in front of Orpus. *BANG* Instantly, Orpus flew back like a cannon a few hundred meters back. Seeing this, Asvog and the remaining Nergal elite soldiers become more serious.
They know only one person in the Heart Kingdom could do this kind of attack. It is also one of the nightmares of the Nergal army. Unexpectedly, the person they thought was not the famous Crimson Flash.
In front of the five H squad stood a petite silver-haired girl holding two daggers. The silver-haired girl has the same stoic expression as the other Homunculus.
"H1, H2, H3, H4, H5, Code 92384 Silver Crown. Order: Pit." said Lily expressionlessly.
"Override the previous command. New Order: Pit." replied all five Homunculus in a robotic tone.
At this moment, Lily is flashing around and butchering all the nearby Nergal soldiers before they can even react. Using this opportunity, the five Homunculus retreat, leaving Lily and Blood Terror behind.
"Such a speed, is this the famous Crimson Flash? But I hear she is supposed to have red hair and use a greatsword." commented Asvog from a distance.
None of the Nergal soldiers can stop Lily and the escaping Homunculus. Be it an elite fourth-grade soldier or even a Nergal fifth-grade leader, they all fall under Lily's daggers.
No matter what attack they launch at Lily, she can always dodge or counter it with high precision. She is like a death reaper harvesting all the people in the surrounding area. Such a bloody scene makes all the Nergal soldiers falter.
"Everyone uses large-scale attacks!! We can't let her keep going!" shouted one of the fifth-grade Nergal.
They know this stoic girl is dangerous or probably more dangerous than Crimson Flash regarding the frontal attack. Their only hope to survive is to use a large-scale attack when she is entangled with others.
Knowing it is their only hope to survive, all the surrounding soldiers didn't hesitate and used large-scale attacks simultaneously. *BOOOM* an intense explosion enveloped Lily and her surroundings.
"Did we get her?" asked one of the Nergal soldiers.
*Swish* *Swish* The nearby Nergal soldiers slowly fall down after getting beheaded. Their last vision is a silver flash before everything gets dark.
"Shit!!" cursed one of the Nergal's fifth grade before lying dead.
On the other hand, the Heart Kingdom uses this chance to push back the Nergal. They didn't expect Lily to have the same combat ability as their Crimson Flash. Still, they are happy to know Lily is on their side.
In contrast, the Nergal's Duke and Duchess are frustrated. One Crimson Flash is already bad enough. Now, the Heart Kingdom has another person with the same combat capability as Crimson Flash. Still, they can't do anything to help their army.
Although their sixth-grade number is more than Heart Kingdom, none even reach the pseudo-seventh-grade level. It means none of their sixth-grade can stop Crimson Flash alone. Unfortunately, all of them are still preoccupied with their own fighting.
Moreover, most of their elite soldiers are still fighting Blood Terror. Blood Terror is genuinely a terrifying creature on the battlefield. It has an intangible body and will also use the surrounding corpse to strengthen itself.
Therefore, most soldiers are fighting it to prevent it from getting stronger. With the help of the mysterious veiled woman, they manage to hold the Blood Terror. The Nergals also notice Blood Terror is weaker over time if it doesn't consume the corpse.
In fact, Blood Terror will slowly die on its own if it doesn't get any fresh corpses. Unfortunately, they didn't have time to wait until Blood Terror died. Lily is too fast and dangerous to be ignored. All the Nergal elite soldiers could die in an hour with her current killing speed.
Moreover, they find Lily is genuinely monstrous. She keeps slaughtering without even resting while engaging in intense fights.
Even the famous Crimson Flash needs a moment to catch her breath after having a high-intensity rapid fight. Yet, Lily is like a well-oiled machine that works without a single rest.
"Asvog!! What the hell are you doing back there?! Go and hold that crazy girl." shouted one of the Nergal's fifth grade.
"Nahh… I am fine here. I will support you from the back." replied Asvog playfully.
'Hmph! Are you crazy?! I was barely able to catch her figure. Now, you want me to fight that monster?!! Tch… I really shouldn't take this job.' thought Asvog inwardly while slowly retreating.
"Damn it! We are paying you to fight!" cursed the Nergals after noticing the retreating figure of Asvog.
However, they currently have more significant problems than dealing with Asvog. Suddenly, something passed through from the back of the Nergal's army. *BAMM* A strong shockwave erupted from Lily's position.
