Chapter 239: 8-Star Orc |
Lucas and the others turned their head in the direction of the rumbling sound.
Even though they shifted their attention toward it, they didn’t forget about the orc who was in the last stage of his life.
Lucas knew that the Orc leader before him was going to lose, so he tried to wear it down and kill it at once.
But he frowned as he felt a faint strong aura drawing near them at an astonishing rate.
As he enhanced his senses by trying to locate it, his eyes widened with horror and instead of engaging with the Orc leader, he kicked it and sent it flying while shouting at top of his lungs.
“All of you retreat.”
“Run away for our lives.”
“I repeat, everyone flee!”
Everyone who heard his call wondered what was going on that was able to make Lucas panic like this to give them the order to retreat.
Still, seeing the fear and helplessness on his face, many heed his orders and started to run away.
Unlike others wasting time thinking about what was going on, Lucas set off at once.
He could feel something terrifying approaching them but how could the Orc who had been beaten to this state leave them easily?
They had pushed till the end of the ropes and were on the stage of dying but the humans instead of finishing them were running away like cowards.
Some thought that help was on their way so their blood started to boil with intense fighting intent and they started to chase after them.
They noticed that the human had turned their backs on them, allowing them to strike them and kill them easily.
They started to spin their weapons and threw them at them.
Swish!
Like a projectile, the sharp-edged weapons flew toward them trying to take them down.
But before they could reach them, a huge wall of ice rose from the ground.
The weapons collided with walls of ice scattering into shards and their momentum decreased and fell to the ground.
Lucas carved layers of ice walls one after another forming thick embankments.
Xanth and others who were running away turned their heads to see Lucas work and shouted.
“Thanks, Lucas, for saving our lives.”This chapter was first shared on the n(0))vel(b)(j)(n) platform.
As everyone started to retreat, Lucas summoned a huge number of strong robust ice and spikes and sent them to Orc giving them a parting gift.
Turning back, he dashed towards the pass but midway through his run, he finally felt the incoming crisis and was able to identify what it was.
Lucas who was running with all his might suddenly felt his legs going soft and all his strength had left his body suddenly.
Like him, everyone’s face became as pale as a sheet of paper.
BOOOOM!
He emitted a loud bestial shriek enough to shake the whole place.
His aura started to climb again and he poured his mana into the spear tip and started to condense on it forming a layer.
The tip of the spear started to glow fiercely.
Mason took a step forward which formed a foot mark and the ground under him cracked due to his pressure.
He made a throwing motion, and his hands holding the spear moved like a whip.
The muscles on his arms bulged outwards and he released the spear with all its strength.
Swish!
The spear was shot like a streak of lightning leaving behind a trail of light as it moved forward tearing everything that was before him.
It moved straight towards the walls erected on the pass and it finally collided with it.
RUMBLE!!
The sky shook harder and harder and the earth split into countless pieces.
BOOOOOOM!
The ground split with greater intensity and the mountains on both sides of the pass started to tremble following which a huge explosion took place.
A powerful shockwave arose from the explosion spreading afar and sweeping away everything in its radius.
Lucas summoned the armor and raised his arms to block the shockwaves that swept him away, throwing him into the battlefield.
A huge sphere of mushroom shaped cloud emerged from the place of impact and burst forth within that, swallowing everything.
Trails of black smoke started to rise in the sky forming a cloud while the fire had been spread all around the place.
The side of the mountain had been cracked and trees near it had been uprooted and shattered into countless pieces.
The terrifying explosion lasted for a while.
Lucas didn’t know where he was and even forgot what he was doing.
He held his head which was throbbing greatly and a piercing pain assaulted him.
“Ahhhh!” A painful groan escaped from his lips and as he tried to get up he found himself lying on the pile of debris and a layer of dust and soil had gathered on him.
Clearing away everything, he stood up but he staggered to his feet.
He felt the world spinning around and just the impact of the previous explosion had brought him to this pathetic state.
As he raised his chin to look at the walls, his eyes lose their luster and his heart squeezed.
Before him was a barren land with black soot soil.
The walls, the checkpoints and everything had disappeared as if nothing existed there from the beginning.
Lucas was horrified to even imagine what would have happened if they had retreated to the check post.
But he hadn’t time to worry about it as a bigger worry was on their head as the 8-Star Orc still stood before them staring at them menacingly.
