Battle of Ascension

Chapter 313: The First Exchange

The black flame shot upward while the black lightning descended right to Enigma. Even the skeleton soldiers who far away from Enigma affected by the sudden firestorm.

Looking at this, even the three Monikias could not help but get worried about their master. The firestorm had only a slight effect on them, but they worried about Randy. Just now, when Enigma erupted in fury and the firestorm blasted the three people away.

The three Monikias looked the three shadows flew into three different directions and crashed on the ground. It was unknown if the three people were fine or injured because of the firestorm.

Marlin looked at the two elders behind him and ordered hastily, "Go to the other two and take them away back to the group. I will bring The Boss with me,"

Marlin could feel a strong aura emanated from Enigma and he realized Enigma was far stronger than him. Even though they only had a grade difference, the gap between them was like a sky and earth.

He also knew, The Boss, Randy was also far stronger than him. Marlin never saw The Boss fought with his full strength, but he took a safe measure by bringing The Boss and The Lady Boss back to regroup with the others.

However, before he could reach at where Randy crashed. Marlin saw there was a figure walked out from the dust which covered him and with no need to guess, Marline knew the figure was.

Marlin saw Boss came out, and he noticed there was no injury on him. Looking at Randy's condition which looked fine, Marlin let out a sigh of relief.

The same with the elders when they reached where the girl crashed. Zhen Yi and Long Xinya walked out with no wound on their bodies.

Randy noticed Marlin was not far from him. He turned his head toward Marlin and said in a solemn tone, "You can go back, leave this place and you can go regroup with the others,"

Randy had his own consideration when he asked Marlin to get back. It was because Marlin had no use in here, he realized that Marlin would only become a burden if he stayed here.

Yes, that was right. Marlin and the other two were a burden to him. He got that conclusion after he was getting blown away just now. He realized, even a newly Saint Grade Undead was not an easy thing.

Randy only had seventy percent confidence to defeat Enigma and thirty percent uncertainty even with Zhen Yi and Long Xinya fought along with him.

Because of this, he would also unleash his full strength from the start of fight against Enigma. He had never been this serious since he got Divine Bloodline except, when he was in the Ascension World. After all, Ascension World was a word with a full of uncertainty.

Now, Enigma was using a skill to boost the stat and Randy guessed, Enigma's stat increased at least thirty percent. With this kind of opponent, he didn't have time to think about the monikias, and also, he afraid the impact of the battle would kill them.

It sounded exaggerated for Eternal Grade Beastmen and Mythical Grade Beastmen died under the impact of a battle.

However, it was possible as he had witnessed this in the Ascension World there were countless Eternal Grade Beast and Mythical Grade Beast died under the impact of the battle between the general and the upper echelons of Underworld Faction.

Even though the current battle would not reach the scale the battle between The Crimson Cloud Kingdom and Underworld Faction, but it was better to be safe than sorry.

Hearing the order to retreat, Marlin stunned. Even though he knew he was weaker compared to the four monsters before him, but at least, he had a use for Randy. But he

Marlin wanted to stay, at least, if there was a dangerous situation he could hold Enigma for a while and let Boss retreat. It was what he thought, he never had a thought to join the battle at all.

He was doing this not because he had an unshakeable loyalty for Randy, but it was for his tribe. When Marlin decided to join the human force, he knew that he had no second chance to step back.

Marlin believed Randy would be able to bring them to ascend to The Ascension World, it was just a matter of time. So, because of this, there was only a task for him after he joined the human, it was to protect the leader, protecting Randy from the death.

As long as Boss was alive, Marlin believed his tribe would ascend to The Ascension World. However, behind the assurance to ascend to The Ascension World, a danger also loomed over his tribe. It was when Randy died.

If Randy died, then his tribe doomed to be perished together along with Randy. Why? Because for the beastmen whoever joined with the human force, there would be no place for them in the beast race, and they would become an enemy of the beast race.

As for why he joined Randy's force? It was clear because they would die under Randy's hand if they didn't join. He realized when the death loomed over him and Randy also had a potential to bring them to The Ascension World.

That was why he made himself as a sacrificial lamb for Randy. He would shield what was coming toward Randy, even it was death itself. Yet now, Randy ordered him to retreat, and of course, he would reject this kind offer.

"I know what your concern is, but you really can not help a thing here. Go back!" Randy spoke first before even Marlin could speak his concern.

However, Marlin didn't even budge even an inch. He rooted on the spot with a conflicted look.

Whoosh!

A hot air blow into his face and Marlin stunned. Right before his face, Marlin saw a fist covered in the crimson flame, and he didn't saw nor he could detect the incoming fist. It was so sudden and he could not even react to it.

Soon, Marlin heard a familiar voice traveled into his ears, "See, you could not even react to my attack. You have no use here, you could not even to delay a time for me to escape, you are only a burden to me, and sigh..."

Randy finished with a sigh. He didn't want to use these words, but he had to now. After that, he walked away from Marlin and headed toward the raging skeleton, Enigma.

Marlin rooted on the spot as he looked at his master back. Randy's words stuck right in his heart, he realized that he had no use even he stayed here. But he consoled himself that he had a use for Randy and it was a sacrificial lamb for Boss to run away despite he knew he could not even to hold Enigma even for a second.

Marlin let out sigh about this. He turned his head back and only to see two elders. Long Xinya and Zhen Yi also ordered the same thing as Randy. Hearing the same words from his subordinates, Marlin without hesitation leaving this place to regroup.

He also realized he was useless here and he would do the thing that useful for his master. It was helping his guild to conquer the world. Marlin walked away with two elders followed from behind.

Meanwhile, Enigma noticed the three humans were fine, and they were heading toward him. He immediately raised his black broadsword upward.

When Enigma did so, the raging black flame and the raging black lightning gathered in his sword. Surprisingly, the black sword became bigger and bigger as the Elemental Power gathered in the sword.

Finally, in a moment, the sword became much bigger. It was about twenty meters long and five meters wide.

Looking at this, Randy put his two Infernal Blades back and Darkness appeared in his right hand. It didn't stop there, another sixty dark red swords also formed around him. One by one, the dark red sword fused with Darkness and Darkness was also getting longer and bigger.

Darkness reached twenty meters long and a meter wide. Randy held Darkness in his right hand and he was fusing skill with his weapon, Myriad Chiliastic Sword.

Different from Enigma's sword that formed by the Elemental Power and it looked rather blunt. Randy's sword looked sharp and vivid, it was like a real sword as the blade was shining.

Without saying words, Enigma had his sword slashed downward, he slashed his sword vertically. Randy yelled at the two women to hide on his back as he slashed his sword horizontally.

In no time, Long Xinya and Zhen Yi arrived behind Randy and at the same time, Randy's sword collided against Enigma's sword. Surprisingly, Randy's sword cut Enigma's sword into two and straight slashed toward Enigma.

Whomp!

Randy's sword hit Enigma. However, to his surprise, the sword didn't cut Enigma into two, but Enigma was getting blasted away and slammed his body to the skeleton soldiers which was about seven hundred meters away.

However, Randy faced another huge problem in the front. The piece of Enigma's sword which was getting cut shot toward them with frightening speed and even Randy could not use his Shadow Elemental Power to dodge the incoming the super powerful a piece of a sword made of Elemental Power.

Kaaraaboom!!!

The Enigma's sword exploded. The explosion took five hundred meters area and almost a hundred meters high. Everyone witnessed it, even Udin, and the others were about ten kilometers away could see the raging black firestorm from afar.

Marlin also looked at the raging black firestorm as they stopped their track and uneasy feeling creeped out. Even without witnessed the battle, he knew the explosion caused by Enigma.

The raging black firestorm laster for half a minute before it died down. When the black firestorm died down, five hundred meters pit formed with ten meters deep.

Enigma who was getting struck by Randy's sword stood at the edge of the pit as he looked down. There was a crack on his pitch black armor and Randy's sword was caused the crack.

Enigma scanned the pit and he let out a sigh of relief afterward. He didn't see human, there were not even corpses inside the pit.

There was only a slim black sword stuck on the ground. The black sword was right in the pit's center.
