Almost instantly, the warriors engaging the beasts in a battle experienced a surge in their strength. Some had their physical strength increased while some had their weapons enhanced. Their weapons began to glow with an otherworldly light.
“We have enhanced the penetrative power of your weapons. With these weapons, you should be able to deal a deadly blow to the enemies.” The healers said to the warriors.
Wanting to check out their sharpness, the warrior brandished their weapons at the fallen beasts.
Each weapon gleamed brilliantly under the sun before slicing through the neck of the fallen beasts, beheading them.
Every swing of their empowered weapons was executed with lethal intent, and with each decisive stroke, the number of beasts in the Beast Tide was reduced by one.
Marshall promptly commanded, “Team Barrage, strike at the Beast Tide’s rear!”
Following his command, Team Barrage, which had been standing on the city walls, immediately sprung into action.
Mages began unleashing a torrent of spells on the beasts at the rear of the Beast Tide.
Countless fireballs detonated upon impact with the beasts. As a result, countless beasts exploded into a gruesome spectacle of flesh and blood.
Lightning bolts of significant thickness descended from the sky and stuck several dozen beasts with such ferocity that they were roasted alive in an instant.
Others were met with a swift demise as ice spears pierced through their heads.
Alfred, meanwhile, used his control over vines to ensnare the beasts, hoisting them up before flinging them back towards their own ranks. As the beasts fell on their own kind, they were immobilized and disoriented, and the members of Team Shield killed them before they could regain their footing.
During this time, Val had already cut down several dozen beasts on his own. He had rushed into the heart of the enemy’s rank. He was surrounded by beasts from all sides, their towering bodies hiding his figure.
A few dozen beasts roared and pounced towards him simultaneously.
He smirked, “Bunch of Dumbasses.”
With Val as the center, a wave of invisible soul power surged out, smashing into the beasts with a force that could uproot a tree. The very next moment, all the beasts were sent flying backward as if struck by a powerful gale.
Val followed this by swinging his arms, unleashing razor-sharp blood blades. As he was sure he was hidden from view, he didn’t think twice before using his skills as a Blood Devil.
The blades followed the same principle as the Crimson Slash Skill. He had made them by compressing and shaping huge amounts of blood into blades.
Thus, it was safe to say their sharpness could only be rivaled by rank-2 cursed weapons or higher.
They sliced through the beasts with ease, much like a hot knife through butter.
Just like that, another wave of beasts fell at Val’s hands.
The strength of the Beast Tide was further reduced.
He had only dealt with a bunch of them when another group of beasts rose up to the challenge.
Val glanced at them before glancing down at his weapon and saying, “Voidslayer, drink to your heart’s content.”
Upon his command, Voidslayer released a powerful suction force, drawing in the spilled blood of the slain beasts in the vicinity.
Consequently, Voidslayer’s rage meter was filled to the brim, and the Crimson Slash Skill was once again available for use.
Val cast the skill without any hesitation.
The Crimson Slash cut through an entire group of beasts that were rushing towards him, leaving them in pieces.
Val then repeated the cycle: using the blood of the fallen beasts to fill Voidslayer’s rage meter before casting the Crimson Slash skill to take down another wave of beasts.
As Val continued to eradicate their numbers using this method, the most powerful beasts of the tide turned their attention towards him.
Moving on all fours, these beasts approached him rapidly, their eyes filled with murderous intent. They had determined Val to be the greatest threat and were thus determined to get rid of him!
A frown of concern etched itself onto Val’s face as he watched them approach. There were ten of them, all above level 35. He couldn’t handle it alone.
He thought to himself, ‘This is a bit too much to handle alone. Should I make a run for it?’
But just then, to his surprise, Oliver and Alex appeared by his side. They were covered in the blood of the beasts they’d killed. They’ve carved open a path through the Beast Tide to reach Val.
“You seem like you could use some help,” Alex said to Val. 𝗈𝚟𝓵ℯxt.𝕔𝑂𝔪
Val nodded.
“You guys arrived at the perfect time. Help me deal with those beasts,” Val said.
“Sure,” Oliver and Alex said in unison.
The sudden appearance of two more humans didn’t startle the beasts.
‘They will all just die the same, trampled under their feet like ants!’ the intelligent beasts thought.
One beast opened its mouth wide. Val and the others could see magma bubbling at the back of its throat. The beast showed it was dead set on claiming their lives as its most important spil of war as it spat out balls of magma towards them.
Almost simultaneously, another beast that was 5 meters tall and looked like an overgrown panther swung its large black claw through the air, causing distortions that manifested as three sharp blades of wind aimed at the trio.
But these weren’t the only trouble they had to deal with as at the same time, lightning crackled from one beast’s mouth, branching out like the hands of death. All these bolts surged towards Val and the two wizards beside him.
“It’s too much for us to handle alone. Let’s work together to deal with it,” Alex said to them.
“Alright,” Oliver agreed with him.
Val also nodded, then he cast the Crimson Slash skill as he swung Voidslayer. The crimson arc that busts out from the sword dealt with the balls of magma.
Val’s brows drew together.
Two more threats were still remaining.
And they were more powerful than the one he just deal with!
