Chapter 947: Targeting All of Them (2/2)
Among them, half of the troops sprinted forward while the other half limped a little while running. They hadn't managed to make a complete recovery yet. After all, even though the ocean water had a healing effect, it was way too weak.
So, they needed more than a few months to make a complete recovery. Of course, Krune never gave them that time.
Followed by a brutal roar that caused the nearby bone trees to shiver, the two armies clashed, brandishing their fishing rods to pierce into the hide of their opponents. A Monster Gecko pierced its hook into the eye of a far-away opponent, flicking its wrists to twirl the thread around the opponent's neck. When it pulled with all its might, its opponent's neck was cut open, causing it to bleed.
The opponent clutched its neck, failing to move as it eventually bled to death. As for its killer, it had just retracted its fishing rod when an opponent arrived behind it, spitting the pouch from its mouth.
The pouch was like a sac that exploded the moment it touched its opponent. Surprisingly, spilling out from it was blood, the same one in their bodies. Through, this seemed concentrated, colder. The coldness in it caused the opponent to freeze up immediately.
After that, the attacker followed up with a smack using its fishing rod, bashing in the opponent's head. Similarly, the Monster Geckos beat each other up nonstop, dwindling their numbers to half within a couple of minutes.
Upon seeing the situation, the Monster Gecko King from the first village finally took action, getting off from its throne as it limped a little, gazing at the battlefield as it glanced at the Mutant under it. Followed by a nod, the two joined the battlefield, cutting down the numbers of their foes like a lawnmower cutting grass.
Seeing the situation, the two elites from the second village had also joined, clearing out the opponents from the first village along their way as they clashed at the center. Without saying anything else, they exchanged numerous attacks nonstop.
Krune's heart thumped as he watched the intense exchange, muttering, ”Thankfully, I didn't do something foolish as fighting them head-on. I wouldn't have lasted more than 20 seconds in there.” Well, Krune had never been a head-on fighter to start with.
He then smirked. ”Anyway, it's time they sprouted.”
Coincidentally, as he said that, a Monster Gecko screamed in pain as a bone tree sprouted from its feet, traversing up its legs as it continued to grow. The same situation happened one after another as the war stopped as abruptly as it started.
Hearing the screams all around them, the elites frowned as their expressions paled. At the same time, they gazed at their feet, noticing small shrubs sprout like a thicket. Alarmed, they tried to pluck them out.
”Now!” Krune sprinted out of his hiding and ran towards the battlefield as fast as he could. Each of his footsteps caused loud noises as he was currently wearing a pair of hard shoes that he had created using a mixture of leather, bones, and thread.
As a blacksmith, creating a simple pair of shoes was easy. Now, he didn't have to be afraid of becoming prey to his own traps. Without any hesitation, gripping the Whale Tooth Sword, Krune sprinted straight towards the Mutant closest to him.
As both their legs sprouted the bone tree saplings, they had to remove them one after another. After all, if they sat on the ground as is, the bone tree saplings would next grow out of their butts.
As such, they were pressed for time. If they delayed, their lives would be forfeit. Unsurprisingly, this was the perfect time for Krune to attack. He wouldn't get a better opportunity to attack them.
First, the moment he arrived at the battlefield, all eyes fell on him, disturbed by the intense sounds his footsteps created. Fortunately, this worked in his favor as Krune's body emitted intense light. It was further amplified by his Ocean Heart, so the intensity of the light caused his opponents to lose consciousness.
All the normal Monster Geckos tumbled to the ground, instantly losing consciousness as their eyes bled. As for the two Mutants, they also lost their balance, falling on the ground as they barely maintained their consciousness.
As for the Kings, they were still okay but had been blinded for a couple of seconds due to what happened.
Krune slashed with his Whale Tooth Sword, severing the left arm of the Mutant first. He slipped past its unbalanced body, slashing apart its other arm as well. He then left it and attacked the other Mutant.
Since they had been fighting, they were next to one another, making it easy for him to attack. But, when he targeted its arm, the Mutant lost its balance, causing its head to come in the way as he hacked it, killing it, unfortunately.
'Don't mind, continue!' He mentally propped himself and had just planned to target the King next when it lashed out with its fishing rod in reflex. Krune barely managed to make his sword come into contact with it as the impact sent him flying, causing him to crash into a couple of trees before stopping, bleeding profusely.
