Chapter 1086 Extreme Plight
Chapter 1086 Extreme Plight
Locking at Calidora who was being protected by Dimitri and the other Vampires—a knowing smile appeared on the Witch of Chaos' face. Her mind was still not focused on the fight due to one problem, but it seemed there was no need for her to stress about it.
She could now focus her mind on what was in front of her.
Channeling her cursed energy, expanding eerie air around her, she resumed her fight again.
Meanwhile, Adhara and Ryze were oblivious to what had happened.
Even though they were winning, they were not in a great spot at all—conflicted immensely.
Brigitta was beginning to tire as the strain of her corrupted wind elements put a strain on her body—more than usual. Her breaths were already labored as she fended against all incoming combinations of attack from Adhara and Ryze.
Added the fact that the two of them were Fire Elementalists, she was in deep trouble.
However, it was not only her that recognized this.
"Go! Go and aid Lady Brigitta!"
One commander from the Human Army pointed at Brigitta and shouted a command.
In a battle of any kind—it's always the best move to listen to what the higher-ranking officers say instead of second-guessing his decisions. Every single human on the battlefield knew of that fact and immediately charged Adhara and Ryze.
Most of them were normal military personnel, amplified by the Executor's power.
But even then, they were not comparable to anywhere close to Adhara's and Ryze's powers.
Looking at these people throwing themselves to protect Brigitta as she retreated to recover and catch her breath, Adhara could only tighten her jaw—feeling conflicted. She didn't want to kill any of them as they were only following a bad leader.
Not to mention, humanity is really desperate right now.
If anything, these people were only fighting this battle because they had no alternatives.
Albeit her hands were not clean of innocent lives, this was completely different.
Maybe feeling bad about killing these people would make her a hypocrite, but nevertheless, the situation was different now. Rex's view of bringing peace into the world is also her view, and killing these people would not align with their agenda.
Nevertheless, she decided to swallow her hesitation.
'I'm sorry, but we have to do this' She pondered, biting her lower lip in determination.
Pulling nothing back, Adhara clawed all humans that came to aid Brigitta.
Similarly, Ryze was also doing the same as he breathed fire to pave the way for them both.
Even though their expressions clearly showed that they were not happy doing this, both of them pressed their backs against each other before coating their entire bodies with fire. It was then their eyes burned, a dance of violent and crimson red before they surged through the entire enemies before them like two spiraling vertical vortexes of fire.
Swoosh!
Anyone that got grazed by them has their entire bodies evaporated entirely.
Naturally, there were some that were able to halt their momentum—Awakened at the eighth rank realm. But even then—Adhara and Ryze easily knocked them out of the way with their combined assault.
Like two entities of fire, the steps and drags of their feet left a fiery trail behind them.
"We are going to stop you!"
Suddenly, a dozen Cessation Knights clad in red armor landed a distance to their front.
Each one of them boasts the power of the seventh-rank realm that was easily breaching into the eighth-rank realm with the boost from the Executor. Lowering their stances—the twelve Cessation Knights charged their mana to the absolute peak.
"Alliance Technique, Aegis of Twelve Strength!"
Upon their chant, their manas merged and manifested a massive elemental shield.
Despite the rampaging power of different elements that contradict each other, their elements merged in harmony within the elemental shield. Not stopping at that—each Cessation Knight infused their spirit energy, adding another layer of protection to the elemental shield.
In mere moments, the shield shimmers stronger with the additional spirit energy.
Some Supernaturals would recognize this technique.
A technique exclusive to the Cessation Knights, enhancing spells with their numbers.
Recognizing the formidable energy emanating from the shield, Adhara and Ryze understood its significance and braced themselves accordingly. Flapping his wings to make a leap, Ryze unfurled his wings before his mouth gargled in a devastatingly hot fire.
Gathering his draconic energy, he fired the strongest fire breath he had ever mustered.
He fired it straight at the elemental shield.
Swoosh!!
Knowing that it might not be enough, Adhara made a forceful stomp, swiftly invoking her own Gladiator Form. A violet serpent materialized, coiling around her waist as her gaze intensified—channeling both elemental mana and spirit energy fiercely.
Her aura expanded before she quickly chanted the strongest spell in her arsenal.
Not needing to worry about the white sphere with the help of Rex, she decided to go all-out.
"Pneuma Spell..." Adhara gritted her teeth—the violet snake on her waist hissed excitedly at the first stroke of her strongest spell. Raising her gaze, she pointed at the elemental shield, "Slithering Chains of Jealousy..."
Hisss!!
Like a bullet, the violet serpent shot forward with incredible speed.
It gained mass as it neared the elemental shield, twirling around Ryze's fire breath as one.
Kaboom!!
A deafening explosion reverberated throughout the vicinity upon colliding with the elemental shield, unleashing a devastating shockwave that sent those close to it away. Even the twelve Cessation Knights were struggling to maintain their footing.
Under their surprised gaze, the elemental shield they conjured began to visibly crack.
Despite their best effort to maintain the shield, it was crumbling.
Barely, the Cessation Knights were barely able to sustain the shield until the very end.
Even though they were successful in blocking the combination of attacks from Ryze and also Adhara—a considerable feat—they didn't get spared any breath to celebrate as both of them came and hit the shield at the same time.
Crash!
Just like that, the elemental shield shattered and sent them crashing away.
Not stopping their momentum, the duo dashed past them.
However, a couple of steps past the twelve Cessation Knights, Adhara's eyes widened as she caught sight of a battle axe hurtling toward her with alarming speed. It was fast even for her, signaling the considerable strength of the assailant.
Clang!
Only having the time to raise her claws, she parried the battle ax but got hurtled back. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
A light groan escaped her mouth.
Landing twenty meters away, she found that Ryze also got hit—landing right beside her.
"Mmph..." Adhara moaned, grabbing her chest.
Upon hearing this, Ryze glanced at her in worry as the assailants were full of chaos energy.
"Did you get hit? Where?"
"No, I'm alright—I didn't get hit. Don't worry about me,"
Shaking her head, Adhara showed that she was fine, it was not the hit that hurt her.
Even though she was able to fight again—the devastating wounds she endured from fighting Dorlus were still lingering. She might looked healed, but that didn't diminish the power of the Yule Moon that wasn't cleansed fully from her inside.
Unlike Flunra and Kyran, she got wounded the most.
It was a miracle that she could help in this fight, but surely, there was a limit for her.
Trailing their eyes back to their front, a troublesome sight greets them.
Blocking their way now to help Brigitta recover were two of the three Horsemen of Chaos.
One was a figure whose very presence bends the air with an aura of chaos—clad in armor that whispers of endless night, its plates inscribed with runes that pulse with a violet glow. He mounts upon an armored black horse that bears the weight of the Abyss.
His helm was crowned with horns, arcing like corrupted halos.
Laid on his hand was a staff, adorned with claws that seemed to tear the fabric of reality.
Positioned behind this chaos mage was a chaos knight.
He was completely covered by armor wrought from black bones, stained with blackness.
Riding a similar horse—the chaos knight grips a sword with a sharp edge that clears the air with a whisper of malice. His helm with horns striped like the savage tigers of old—veils a face unseen but not unfelt.
A palpable dread that emits the very essence of chaos.
Both bore the slave marks from Kyran earlier, signifying that they were weakened.
Even then, the two were not pushovers as they gazed at Adhara and Ryze intensely.
As the two prepared to launch their attacks, their attention abruptly shifted as their helmets swiveled toward a sudden movement to the side. Instead of striking Adhara and Ryze, they swiftly veered toward safety, prompting both Adhara and Ryze to follow their gaze.
It was only then that their eyes widened completely.
Shining brilliantly in the sky was the Executor, charging an attack aimed towards them.
Unlike his regular attack, the Executor also uses his spirit energy.
Naturally, the sight made Adhara and Ryze sucked in a cold breath—the Executor was about to unleash an arcane spell toward them. Glancing over their shoulders, they realized that the Executor was aiming at the Supernatural Army.
It was unclear what drew his attention this way, but the situation was very dire.
"Arcane Spell, Chaos Nova!!"
Swoosh!
Unleashing the very spell he had wielded against Rex previously, the Executor summoned an orb of chaos and sent forth a powerful torrent of chaos energy that easily morphed the sky's hue into a foreboding shade of deep purple.
Responding to this attack, the Human Army retreated and made a barricade.
Obviously, they were holding their grounds so that the Supernaturals could not push them.
With the incoming spell, attempting to push the Human Army would be foolish.
Knowing that the attack would've decimated thousands if not checked, Flurna and Ryze rose to the sky and put themselves in the way of the arcane spell. Garnering every ounce of their strength, Kyran and Flunra shine with their own respective auras.
Like two bright stars in the sky, they clashed against the torrent of chaos energy.
A big shockwave exploded in the sky, its ripple spread across the horizon.
But despite their efforts, Kyran and Flunra were unable to block the powerful attack fully.
Upon seeing this, Adhara and Ryze darted their eyes in search of Rex and found him going at full speed towards the torrent of chaos energy—fully intending to block the attack. Rex even lets out a powerful roar, shouting the Executor's name—echoing across the land like thunder rolling through the heavens.
However, at that very moment, the onlookers' hearts skipped a beat.
In a fraction of a second, their wide eyes saw Rex getting tackled down by the Executor.
Rex and the Executor fell down from the sky like a comet, further away from the arcane spell.
Nothing could stand between the arcane spell and the reinforcement army anymore.
Almost responding instantly, the strong entities belonging to the reinforcement army came to the center to prepare a desperate, all-out attempt to stop the torrent of chaos energy. It was weakened thanks to Flunra and Kyran, so they had a chance to stop it.
King Jorik, King Huvuki, Queen Shanaela, the Tigerman King, and the Orc Warmonger joined.
Even Dimitri and the other Vampires participated.
Since Calidora's safety was threatened, they would pour everything they had to stop this.
It doesn't matter if it would mean their deaths.
Regardless of the outcome, they needed to stop this incoming arcane spell.
Firmly standing at the very front of the reinforcement army, these respected entities glared at the incoming arcane spell and steel their wills. Planting their feet into the ground—every single one of them channeled their powers.
But even though they were fearless at the sight of death, the army was scared.
An attack from the Executor was not something that could be fended off easily.
Many of them are pessimistic, thinking that this might be the end.
Not only the reinforcement army, but Evelyn also thinks that it wouldn't be enough.
The Executor's attack is going to pierce through them even if they combined their might—he was simply that strong. Even though she was told to not meddle, the situation calls for her. It was the time for her to help.
However, she knew that she wouldn't make that much difference.
She searched for other ways, but there was simply nothing that could help them right now.
"S- Someone needs to do something..." Evelyn's voice was barely a whisper, yet within her, a stirring arose from the Luna mark etched upon her palm. "No... I need to do something," She corrected herself, conviction flooding her being as her entire form ignited with a fire of Luna energy.
At that very moment, Evelyn could feel her body heating up—her bloodline was stimulated.
