Chapter 567 Surviving
"Angus!! What are you doing?!" called Eric from his side.
The Crown Prince is surprised at Angus' bold statement. But Angus ignores the Crown Prince and casts a burning Fire Spear spell in his hand, ready to launch anyone that tries to step into their obstacle area.
Seeing the concentrated fire mana in the Fire Spear, most Altras survivors hesitate to move forward.
However, time didn't wait for everyone as the monster got closer and made everyone worry. At this moment, a masked person jumps around from behind the crowd and enhances her leg with mana.
In a single jump, the masked person arrives gracefully on the Earth Wall beside Angus.
"I didn't take a single step at your trap. So, it's okay right?" asked the masked person with disgust expression on it.
"Sure." nodded Angus before focusing on the group in front of them.
Realizing the area in front of them is a trap, the other survivors follow the masked person's lead. Unfortunately, not everyone has the same power as Angus and the masked person. f𝙧𝒆𝚎𝑤e𝚋𝓷o𝘷𝗲l.c𝐨m
The distance between their current location to Angus' Earth Wall is around a hundred meters away. It takes a least fourth-grade combatant physical strength to cover the area. Even then, the fourth-grade combatant could only carry on their own.
If the Altras could use their shapeshifting ability, they could easily pass through by creating wings or something similar. However, their greatest advantage is gone and makes them vulnerable.
Some Red Guards or strong Altras are reluctant to leave the others, but they also know the strong and bizarre monster will arrive at their location soon. During this desperate time, many groups of people argue with each other.
"What the hell are you doing there?!!" yelled someone from behind.
Soon, everyone finds another large group of Altras led by three Nirvas' elders. All of them are heavily injured and look pale, while the two elders support one of the elders.
Angus notices the masked person flinching a little after seeing the Nirvas' elder. Something that will be missed by others but not Angus, who could easily read someone's body language.
"Why are you just standing there?!!" shouted elder Jojin.
"T-That's…" replied an Altras in front of the obstacle area.
"Wait, that mask?! and the Heart Kingdom!! I see… So, the heart kingdom is the one behind this, huh? No wonder they killed the other elders before." said elder Razi beside Jojin.
Angus didn't care about the two elders' hateful remarks and threw his burning spear toward the horizon. *BOOOOM* A massive explosion lit all the Fire Oil that Angus placed in the cave entrance.
*GROOARR* Everyone could hear the monster's last pained cry. Still, it is not stopping them but slowing down and giving everyone some time.
Some flying monsters with happy smiles on their face's sides managed to escape the explosion and charge at Angus' location.
"Magicians!! I want you to focus on the flying monsters! Don't let them pass through our wall!!" commanded Angus, ignoring the surprised Altras in the distance.
Then, Angus clapped his hand and flared up enormous fire mana. An extensive magic circle appeared in front of him.
"Such a strong fire mana!!" exclaimed the wounded Elder Tedar in worry.
[4th Circle - Vulcan Shots] *Whoosh* Many small Fireballs come out from the magic circle and shoot toward all the incoming flying monsters. *Bam* *Bam* *Bam* Every Fireball hit the flying in their vital area and killed them. Even the surviving ones get knocked down.
After shooting displaying such a power, "I don't care about your so-called rebellion or whatnot. But, if you dare to step into the obstacle area and ruin my traps for those monsters, I will make sure you all will face the same fate as those flying monsters!!" shouted Angus.
"Don't think I don't dare to attack you just because you are Nirvas' elders?!! Even now, it's hard to not kill all of you because of getting dragged into your fucking mess!!" added Angus while releasing a strong killing intent.
"*Cough* W-Wait a second… Baron Victory, correct? This is a misunderstanding… The Nirvas and Heart Kingdom didn't have any enmity with each other before. We also already promise the Hundred Army Darren for it and tend to keep our word." said Elder Tedar. 𝒇r𝙚𝙚𝓌𝙚𝑏𝗻𝑜𝘷𝗲𝘭.c૦𝑚
"Let's forget about this and focus on our current situation. So, can you let us in?" asked Elder Tedar.
"If you kill that stupid loudmouthed elder, I will consider it." said Angus.
"Angus, that's enough. Stop this madness right now!!" called the Crown Prince.
However, his call fell on deaf ears as Angus kept focusing on the Altras in front of them.
"Brat, don't think I couldn't go up there and kill you!!" said Elder Razi in anger.
As the situation suddenly gets tense, "Hahaha… This is so funny. I thought the elder like to sacrifice others. But, when you are the one that got sacrificed, you chickened out. Aren't you supposed to feel 'Honored' El-der Ra-zi?" mocked the masked person.
"You!! Don't think you are safe behind the Heart Kingdom?!!" replied Elder Razi.
While they launch a verbal attack on each other, Crown Prince Eric has enough and tries to boldly grab Angus. However, Angus wasn't called the untouchable during his academic days for nothing. He easily moves sideways and avoids Eric's hand.
Angus is starting to get annoyed by Eric and sends a sharp glare at him. Before he could say anything, Jayna hit Eric's back nape and knocked him out.
"Angus, please don't kill him. He is still my brother." said Jayna with a harmless smile.
"I planned to let him be one more time before throwing him at those monsters." replied Angus causally.
"Don't bother. If he is against you again, I will burn him to ash by myself. He may be my blood brother, but no one should ever question my love like that." said Jayna as the surrounding area magically got hotter.
Everyone also noticed this change and looked at Jayna warily. They could feel the temperature increase is not from mana but just suddenly getting hot like it is natural.
"I really love this side of yours." teased Angus as Jayna returned to her calm and tried to hide her blush.
"Take him to the back and leave him chained." commanded Angus after but some magic sealing chain on Eric.
"Yes, sir." replied the knights beside him respectfully.
They know what Angus and Jayna have done is considered a crime. But they owe the couple too much to question that. Over the past few hours, they don't know how many times they get rescued by the couple. They even feel ashamed as they keep getting help from them.
During this moment, the embassy knights have an undying loyalty toward the young couple. They will follow it without hesitation even if they command them towards their death. Unfortunately, the couple didn't know about this and did not care much about it.
After taking care of the annoying crown prince, they focus on the group survivor outside. Currently, the masked person and the Nirvas' elder already stop their verbal attack.
*GROOOWLL* Everyone is focused on the things behind them as they hear thunderous monsters cry. They could feel a large amount of miasma from the direction they came.
"They are here!!" said Elder Jojin in worry.
"Artillery, ready your weapon!!" commanded Angus to the knights.
He completely ignores the panic Altras and decides to focus on the incoming monster horde. Soon, Angus notices something from the dark smoke in the distance.
"Jayna!!" called Angus.
Noticing Angus' intention through the Fire Phoenix creates a large fire wing on her back and rises into the air. After taking a deep breath, her fire wing gets more vivid before shooting out many fiery feathers to the surrounding at once [Phoenix Rain].
*Swish* *Swish* *BOOOM* *BOOOM* At the same time, everyone also notices many potent [Miasma Ball] coming towards them. The two strong skills clashed with each other and released destruction in the surrounding area.
After shooting many [Phoenix rain] at once, Jayna slumped down on the ground and got caught by Angus. It is the first time she used [Phoenix Rain] this much without getting buffed by [Prayer's Room].
After the explosion receded, many bizarre monsters came from the dark fire smoke. The first type of monster is a giant ugly fish with two hairy legs and thick lips.
Despite their thin and weird hairy legs, they could move fast and agile in uneven terrain.
Seeing the monsters, "Ohh.. No! Not those ugly things again!!" complained the masked person as she took out a large unique bow.
Without waiting for others, the masked person shoots a powerful arrow and hits the monster fish.
"Aim at them first!! They could shoot out [Miasma Ball] repeatedly in a short period." informed the masked person.
Hearing this, Angus knows the danger these monsters pose to their current situation.
"Shoot them down!!" shouted Angus.
The artillery and magician knights immediately release their attack on the monster fish.
In the meantime, the three Altras elders use this opportunity to get on top of the Earth Wall. A few Red Guards and strong Altras also follow their leader.
Unfortunately, they couldn't bring the weak Altras and only left them behind the trap area. Seeing the Altras trying to cross and ruin their trap area, Angus didn't hesitate and used [Fire Missile] on their head.
