Chapter 539 - Witch Clan: Favor
Chapter 539 – Witch Clan: Favor
Gragas condition was worse. His body was full of wounds and he could barely move because of it.
"Ah, fuck! This is too much for me…"
He cursed as he leaned his back on a broken wall. Fighting three Annihilation Realm masters was too much for him. He wasn't even a peak Annihilation master so how could they let him fight several people at his level.
Cough! Cough!
He coughed a mouthful of blood before his body fell on the ground.
Thud!
Three figures landed in front of him. They were his opponents, the three Annihilation Realm masters of the Witch Clan under the direct command of the Clan Leader.
"If you're going to kill me just do it. I don't want to feel any pain." Gragas said to the three witches.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Eztein moved his body swiftly left and right as he avoided all kinds of attacks. He was doing fine compared to Gragas who was on the death's bed.
He was at the peak of Annihilation Realm and he also had a parasite in his body. So he could heal his wounds and injuries easily unlike Gragas.
"Shit! That dwarf is going to die! I want to help him but I can't break through my enemies' formation."
He saw Gragas' condition from the corner of his eyes. He wanted to help but he couldn't because of his strong opponents. Four peak Annihilation Realm masters were totally suppressing him and without the parasite, he knew that he would be a goner right now.
He was passively defending and avoiding his opponents' attacks in his condition. Finding an opportunity to counter was hard and the opponents were smart enough to realize it.
Swoosh!
He quickly raised his halberd and blocked a sword slashed from above. Then, he quickly kicked the ground to create a distance as two witches appeared on each side.
"Fuck!"
He couldn't help but curse as a huge cut appeared on his chest.
Suddenly, unknown energy spread out in the whole area. Then, the ground emitted a strange light.
Ohm!
"What the hell?" Eztein looked down.
Gragas who was laying on the ground looked and wondered what's going to happen.
Everyone stopped moving as the ground emitted a bright blueish light that illuminated the entire clan.
"Hmm…?"
Souta narrowed his eyes and the pressure coming from the light was from a real shackled realm expert.
It was different from the two elders and the Clan Leader. A fourth shackled realm had made an appearance in the Witch Clan.
'[Mass Teleportation] spell.' Saya's voice sounded.
'Teleportation spell… It means that they aren't Alice and others. The transportational gate would create a pillar of light. No wonder this feels different.' Souta nodded inwardly.
Although a new group had appeared he still needed to deal with his current situation.
He was surrounded by a total of ten S-rank experts and dealing with them was difficult. He couldn't even injure one of them as their teamwork was great.
If it's just a one on one battle Souta was confident that he could destroy them one by one but fighting ten at the same time was a different matter. If he wasn't careful they would've already killed him.
Unlike Rowan who was only playing with him, these witches were trying to kill him.
But then the group of people that appeared was beyond his expression. He was familiar with this group as this one was the one who's always lending him a hand in this continent.
"Oh, it seems that I'm not too late."
A charming voice echoed as a group of beautiful females had appeared on the battleground.
The woman at the center of the group was a very attractive woman with long silky blue hair. Her eyes and eyebrows had the same color as her hair. She was wearing a piece of white dress.
In her left hand, she was holding a wooden staff that was as tall as her, and on her right hand, there was a tobacco pipe.
This woman was the ruler of the red light district in Earthen Core City, a powerhouse at shackled realm. She's Eilish also known as Blue Reaper.
"Fufu~"
She chuckled as she looked around. She found that Souta was a hundred meters away from her on the south while Gragas and Eztein were further in the east. They all looked pitiful.
Then, she raised her head and looked at Rowan who was grabbing Amanda on her neck.
"Who are you?" Rowan asked in a serious tone as the aura in his body skyrocketed.
This unknown Extinction Realm. He had to take any person at this level seriously.
Eilish narrowed her eyes and thought, 'This guy is stronger than me.' She acted as if she didn't hear Rowan's question, no, she didn't want to answer him.
"I will ask once again. Who are you and what are you doing in my land?" Rowan asked in a chilly tone and the pressure that he was emitting grew stronger.
"I'm here to take my people with me," Eilish said while looking around, observing the forces of the famed Witch Clan.
'There are a total of seventy-three Annihilation masters. That's a huge force it seems that they aren't united. Two groups are fighting in the northwest including two Extinction Realm masters. The forces here are this guy along with thirty-one Annihilation Realm and Ninety-one Extermination Realm. Even so, it's too huge compare to the forces that I brought.'
She already thought of many things while exchanging simple words with Rowan. She had analyzed the opponent's forces and she was planning how to counter it with just a small number of people that she had brought.
"People? Your people caused trouble in my land so are you going to take responsibility for their mess?" Rowan asked.
"Nope, I'm not going to take responsibility for it." Eilish paused for a moment before her eyes turned chilly as her aura started to seep out of her body. She added, "But they aren't the cause of it. They just came here to find the Witch Clan because of that girl in your hand. I doubt that they will create a trouble. Even if they are, then can you explain to me how this mess had started?"
"It started because of them. I don't have a time to explain to you." Rowan replied while staring at Eilish's eyes. He wouldn't back down no matter what happens.
'This… Isn't he a bit unreasonable?' Eilish was a little bit surprised when she heard his response.
Souta who was watching the scene opened his mouth and shouted, "Eilish! You wouldn't be able to reason with that man! We've found that Amanda is the daughter of the former Clan Leader so he wouldn't let us go no matter what happens! So ask you a favor to help us for a while!"
The S-rank experts who were close to Souta didn't expect that he will join the conversation between Extinction Realm masters. They quickly raised their weapons and attacked him.
Swoosh!
Souta simply vanished from his position using the [Shadow Ball] spell. While everyone was busy looking at the newly arrived group, he had set up his [Shadow Ball] spell in every direction.
"Well, I don't care anymore. Just attack them." Rowan had given his order to his subordinates.
"Tsk! Protect them." Eilish clicked her tongue in annoyance. She wanted to avoid fighting as the opponent's forces were several times higher than her.
The enemy had thirty-one Annihilation Realm masters while she only brought twelve Annihilation Realm with her. The difference was huge and it seems that the opponent's forces weren't exhausted yet.
After all, they were only dealing with Souta, Gragas, and Eztein. The witches didn't need to use everything against three people who only had the power of an Annihilation Realm.
The twelve people behind her moved and they divided themselves to help Gragas and Eztein.
Swoosh!
As soon as her subordinates left, Eilish opened her mouth and asked, "What do you mean by that?"
Souta walked out of the shadows and said while looking at Rowan, "Help me hold this guy for a while."
"You want me to fight an Extinction Realm master for you. I even came here to pick you up but fighting an Extinction Realm…" Eilish glanced at him with a doubtful look.
"My forces will arrive here soon."
"Forces? Do you have Extinction Realm with you?"
"No, but I'm sure that I could handle him after so help me for now."
"Ah, fine, I'll do my best. That guy is stronger than me. Also, are you the one who caused a cut on his hand?" Eilish sighed before she nodded.
"Yep, I'm the one who did that and that's the only thing that I could do to him." Souta nodded with a serious expression.
"You're much more capable than I thought." Eilish smiled.
"I'll leave him to you. I'll cut down his forces for the meantime. Thirty-one Annihilation Realm is too much for your subordinates." Souta said before he turned around.
Ohm!
Dozens of balls of energy flew towards him at high speed. Each one contained power that could heavily injure an S-rank.
Boom!
Souta didn't even turn to look as he knew that Eilish will handle it for him.
And he was correct.
Eilish tapped her wooden staff on the ground and it created a transparent barrier that protected him from Rowan's attack.
"Oh my, I'm sorry but I'm gonna have you play with me for a while.." She smiled seductively while looking at the Clan Leader.
