Chapter 86: Another One
Chapter 86: Another One
A huge gigantic Fireball appeared from the Dark Forest. Looking at the gigantic fireball that is as big as the Fortress wall, some soldier could help but take a step back.
“Shield up!! Everyone Shield up!! Active defensive mechanism!!” shouted General Borkin’s through the whole Fortress.
The soldiers on the top of the wall bring out a shield and huddle together to make a line defensive formation. All the shields connected one with the others and imbued with mana. It also connects to the wall and makes it more sturdy. *Clang* *Clang*
The Fortress wall is also imbued with a bluish-colored aura and creates a sort of thick membrane barrier. Even with all of this preparation, the soldiers are still feeling nervous.
“Hold up!! Hold your ground!! Hold as your life depends on it!! Show them all of what you got!! Brace for the Impact!!” shout General Borkins.
Before long the giant fireballs decimate everything on its path and arrive at the Fortress wall. *BOOMM* The giant fireballs shook the entire area and created a huge shockwave towards the surrounding.
After a while, the dust settles down while there is a massive crack on the fortress wall. The Black Fortress managed to hold up against the gigantic fireball albeit it is not with repercussion.
The Fortress wall is very important to defend against the monster wave. Using the high ground they could keep the monster without having contact with the monster. It means less casualty for the soldier.
It also will help soldiers to save up mana. Therefore the advantage of the Fortress wall is very important.
“We can’t receive another attack like that or the wall will crumble.” informed the dwarf general towards others.
Then, from the Fireball path appears a huge lizard monster with red color. The monster is so huge and creates a tremor for every step.
Looking at the monster far away inside the burning forest, “T-That’s grade five Fire Drake.”
Fire Drake is a huge monster with the appearance of a lizard. Moreover, its humongous body is very strong that could even withstand the five circle spells easily.
Fire Drake also has a huge resistance towards the fire. Some rumors even said that they could take a soak in a hot magma pool without any harm.
“Tch… This is the worst possible monster. I think most of our spells will be useless to it.” said Duke Jacob solemnly.
“Don’t worry, Jacob. I will do my best to help you. Call your back.” said Sylvan as he summoned his spear ready for battle.
“Alright, fall back everyone.” Jacob shouted towards the nobles on the field.
After all the nobles fall back, “Kids, let’s change the terrain a little bit.” said Sylvan to the other elves.
“Yes, Master Sylvan [Combined Spells – Bloom of Thousand Spike].” as the young elves flare-up huge mana at once and tap the ground.
A huge magic circle appears on the ground that envelope the entire area. Less than a second later, thousand wooden spikes stabbing at the nearby monster along with Fire Drake. All the wooden spikes create a blooming flower while killing all the low-grade monsters.
However, the wooden spike that could kill Barculos easily, couldn’t even penetrate the Fire Drake scale. Later, the spikes burned down because of the high temperature around the Fire Drake.
During this moment, Sylvan flares up his mana, “Jacob, cover me.” said Sylvan while he runs among the protruded wooden spike [Windwalk].
After a while, Sylvan is already in front of the Fire Drake. Without any hesitation, Sylvan attacks the Fire Drake head-on [Spear Art – Piercing Hawk].
A gigantic silhouette appears behind Sylvan, then the hawk entering the spear attacking the Fire Drake head. During this time, the Fire Drake also did not just idle around and create a burning fire barrier in front of him.
However, the fire barrier in front of him suddenly wavered and slowly diminished [Fire Manipulation]. Jacob forces the fire element in the surrounding Fire Drake and weakens its fire barrier.
Using this opportunity, Sylvan stabs his spear towards Fire Drake. *BLAMM* The attack is very strong and creates a huge shockwave towards the surrounding.
After the view cleared, “Damn.. It’s really hard.” said Sylvan while he was standing on the wooden spike.
As for the Fire Drake, it knocked back a few hundred meters away. It also has a crack on its scale between its eyes. Besides that, there is not even a drop of blood.
“ROOARR” roared the Fire Drake angrily while glaring at the elf.
Then, it releases a huge breath of fire towards Sylvan. During this time, a fire barrier envelopes Sylvan along with the appearance of big Fire Wyrm in front of Sylvan [Firecast – Fire Wyrm].
Using the accumulated fire element in the air, Jacob creates a big Fire Wyrm instantly to block the incoming fire breath attack. *BOOMM*
The breath attack and Fire Wyrm clash with each other and create an explosion. The surrounding landscape scorched while the survival monster got burned alive despite their fire-resistant trait.
“T-This is the power of a high grade.” comment one of the soldiers
“Y-Yeah.. Each of their attacks already creates a huge shockwave.” said another soldier.
“Stop daydreaming and keep firing those monsters!!” Rebuked the dwarf general towards the soldier.
Then, Sylvan continues to fight against the Fire Drake with the help of Jacob and young magician elves.
During this time, they turn into a stalemate as the Fire Drake is too slow to catch Sylvan while Sylvan couldn’t give a fatal wound towards the Fire Drake because of its high defense.
After a while, everyone feels another heat from a different direction inside the Dark Forest. Behind the thick dark tree, appears another gigantic fireball approaching the Fortress Wall.
“Damn it, there is another one. Duke Blue..” said Jacob as he is still assisting Sylvan.
“On it..” As the duke claps his hand and creates a huge fire barrier on the outer layer of the Fortress Barrier.
A bluish membrane appears protecting the entire Fortress. before long the gigantic fireball landed on the Duke’s barrier. *BOOMMM*
“GRTTT… ARRGGHHH” shout Duke blue as he maintains the barrier against the gigantic fireballs.
After a while, the fireball’s force diminishes and turns into nothingness. Meanwhile, the Fortress wall crack is becoming bigger.
“Huft.. Haaa… Ha… It’s a strong attack” said the Duke while he took out mana potion and drank it.
From the fireball’s path appears another Fire Drake. However, this Fire Drake is not approaching but accumulates fire elements in its mouth.
Seeing this action, “Stop his charging breath!! All cannon focus on it!!” shout the dwarf general.
Before the magical cannon attack approaches Fire Drake, a huge being intercepts them while on fire. The other Fire Drake managed to intercept the magical cannon with its fire barrier.
Sylvan used this opportunity to launch a deadly strike towards the Fire Drake. As he approaches the gigantic lizard, it suddenly spins its body horizontally while creating fire [Flame Wheel].
Fortunately, Sylvan managed to back away using [Windwalk] the moment it spun rapidly. Still, his [Fire barrier] that protected him got cracked in various locations.
Before long it stops spinning around as the other Fire Drake launches a gigantic fireball towards Fortress. The Fireball is smaller than the two previous fireballs but still enough to destroy the Fortress wall.
During this precarious moment, a man appears out of nowhere in front of the gigantic fireball. *Swiish* Every nearby soldier that is braced for impact suddenly hearing something that is cutting down [Sword Art – Rune Slash].
Suddenly, the gigantic fireball in front of the man slashed into two and scattered away without damaging anything.
Jacob, who is trying to use his remaining mana to defend the attack feels relief looking at the man’s appearance.
“Huft.. You are a little bit of late, My Liege.” muttered Duke Jacob slowly.
“A mere lizard trying to run amok in my kingdom.” said Kind Leon while releasing his majestic aura that only seven grade people only have.
Feeling the oppression from King Leon’s aura, the two Fire Drake feeling dreadful. But, they also couldn’t oppose the order that is kept on their head.
“Ehh.. Why are you shuddering all of sudden? I haven’t even warmed up yet.” mocked King Leon towards the two Fire Drake.
Being taunted by King Leon, the near Fire Drake immediately attacks him with a fire claw while the others approach the human king.
The near Fire Drake who is couldn’t even catch Sylvan being toyed away by King Leon. The king also did not stand idle and dodging the attack, he launched his counter-attack with his mighty greatsword.
Although he didn’t use any skill, his sword managed to leave a scratch or crack on the Fire Drake’s scale.
“Such a strong scale you got there!? Let’s see if you can handle this!!” said the King before disappearing.
The moment King Leon appeared, a burst of blood sprouted from the Fire Drake’s body. [Sword Art – Decapitation Slash]
‘Hm… I intend two cuts it in two but it still survives’ thought the king looking at the bleeding Fire Drake.
Suddenly, it feels a hot sensation on its side. The Fire Drake covered in fire charge at him with tremendous speed [Flame Charge].
