Chapter 787 - Bad to Worse
Chapter 787 – Bad to Worse
“Bang!”
A battle was currently raging in Orena a few kilometers away from the border city near Ishtar at a secluded location.
Four rays of light intertwined with each other in an intense battle, three of them seemed to be working together to put up a fight against a man enveloped in an eerily energy but they still weren’t able to gain any upper hand.
“If I wasn’t exhausted, I would have crushed this guy long ago..” August cursed as blood leaked out of his mouth. He was really raging right now, and the killing intent around him had begun to accumulated as if he was bomb waiting for the right time to explode.
This was very unlike the past August. Until now, he hadn’t been put in a desperate situation where he had to fight seriously with an intention to kill or be killed, hence, no one had seen this side which he had developed with wars between Demons and Humans after his brother was taken away.
But, now that he had made up his mind to kill this fellow in front of him, it was starting to draw out the cruel side in his heart.
“Look at you, I didn’t think you would be able to become so scary..” Faryl laughed as he dashed forward, each of his steps splashed water around, and he seemed to be executing a strange movement technique which was making his movement very elusive.
Arnold was currently seething in anger, he hadn’t expected to meet such a situation. He was clearly stronger and faster than them but even that wasn’t helping him bite these three weaklings. That they were clearly using their team work to exploit the situation. After all, how could two fists and two eyes compare to six.
“Bang!”
Victor’s kick landed on Arnold’s stomach as his figure was sent flying into the distance. But, Victor suddenly grunted as well, and his figure staggered a little as he gazed at his ankle. There was a red swollen lump there, and it seemed that his bone had broken.
He hadn’t expected Arnold to react this time, even though he wasn’t able to dodge, that guy surely smashed his elbow onto his ankle before taking the hit.
“Finally..” Arnold slowly rose from the ground as he wiped the blood on the corner of his mouth. He had taken that hit, and had suffered but it was worth it. Victor was the fastest one around, and most of the attack was done through him.
Their current formation made August into a tank, while Faryl was the one who would pestered and distract him, and it was Victor who would suddenly attack and take advantage.
“Can you continue working the same way?” August appeared by his side and asked him. He could see the injury that Victor had suffered, and it definitely seemed capable of affecting his speed. If that was going to happen, then they would have to change their strategy.
“No worries…let’s continue..” Victor calmly took a step, and August caught a slight tremble in his leg on the first step, but it disappeared on the second.
“Good! Let me see how much more you can endure!” Arnold smiled maliciously as he looked at Victor.
“Whoosh!”
Suddenly, Arnold vanished from their sight. He was fast, but not enough for them to not track him down. Not to mention, they were extremely vigilant of him.
“Stop him!!” Faryl shouted in alarm when he noticed that Arnold didn’t close up on them, but instead went directly towards Arthur who was unconscious. That b*Strad seemed to have realized that he wouldn’t be able to gain much advantage in the current situation, and he didn’t want to go on like this. After all, he was not a true demon, and the true form was extremely costing to him because of that. Once, he lost his form, he would be no different than a chicken waiting to be slaughtered.
“Die!!”
Arnold smashed his fist towards Arthur, and as it was about to land, August appeared in front of him, and kicked Arthur, sending his body flying away.
“Bang!”
But, at the same time, Arnold’s first landed on August’s back, and a grunt escaped his mouth as he was immediately forced down onto his knees.
“Hahaha!! I knew you would fall for this!” Arnold laughed, and the next instant, his fist exploded as molten lava erupted from his arms, and began to burn its way into August’s flesh.
But, suddenly, Arnold’s pupil constricted, and his body moved as two figures appeared on his other side, and both of them struck at his vitals.
A water blade sliced thinly into Arnold’s neck as he barely avoided it, but a white blade made of light immediately tore through his side, opening a hold in his body. But, it wasn’t something serious, and that was capable of killing him, and Arnold immediately circulated his energy to seal his wound as he glared at the two with killing intent on his eyes.
On the other side, Faryl ignored the guy as a ball of water appeared in his hand, and he pressed it onto August’s back.
“He is seriously injured and has passed out..” He spoke with a grim look on his face. He knew that the guy was alive now, but he couldn’t say the same for 20 or 30 minutes later. August’s injuries were fatal, and if he was not helped, then it would be a situation that they wouldn’t want to see.
“This is bad…” Faryl muttered with a frown on his face.
“We can’t beat him with just the two of us..” Victor had a grim look on his face. Not to mention, they had to protect two people at the same time.
“It’s all over for you now..” Arnold smiled as he looked at them.
As things were looking bad, a laughter suddenly rang out, “Hahaha!!! So, this is what they were upto?”
And then, things took a turn for the worse..
