377 War: Divine Beasts Presence (1/2)
A spiked black tower shield was thrown to intercept the attack of the Crimson Crow King, a Tier 6 Demonic Beast.
An attack that would normally wipe out hundreds of Knights, was completely neutralized by Paul's Black Tortoise Shield. It didn't even budge nor shook from the impact. The pillar of flame was completely absorbed by the shield without letting anyone harmed.
”Right back at you.” Paul said as he gestured with his hand.
The shield rotated and shot a powerful beam of energy similar to the Crimson Crow King's attack, albeit doubled in size and strength.
The Crimson Crow King wasn't expecting its attack to not only be neutralized but also returned stronger. It dodged at last second but it didn't came out unscathed. The beam of light nicked its wings, causing it to fall to the marching horde.
Cheers erupted as the soldiers saw how easily Paul deflected the attack of a powerful beast. This further boosted the morale of the troops, causing their blood to boil and their thirst for battle to rise on another level.
The Black Tortoise Shield flew back to him, he then looked at Luis and nodded. The latter got the message and nodded back.
”Charge! Meet the enemy! Defend our homeland!” Luis roared as he gave out the command.
”AAHHHH!”
”LET'S DO THIS!”
”DEFEND OUR HOME!”
”FOR THE KINGDOM!”
”FOR THE KING!”
”FIGHT!”
”TAKE NO PRISONERS!”
The roars and battle cries of the soldiers flooded the entire battlefield. The earth shook, the sky darkened even more. Flashes of light and explosions occurred everywhere. Bits and pieces of flesh were scattered om the ground, blood stained the soil and a foul smell permeated through the battlefield.
”Shall we, everyone?” Old Lee stepped forward and asked his fellow Golden Knights.
The rest nodded and without wasting any more time, all of them blurred into motion.
Old Lee and Mark seemingly turned into lightning as they ran towards the horde with their blinding speed. Ellen and Leona flew into the air with their wings made out of fire, sending orbs of concentrated flame which temperatures are high enough to reduced anything it touches to ash. Anne and Morel stayed in the air, providing supportive fire using their arrows of spears made out wind.
And despite being the slowest amongst them, Paul had different way to catch up to them.
He threw his spear in a graceful arc. He gathered strength through his legs and jumped high up in the air.
His spear landed amidst the marching beast horde, it hit the Crimson Crow King and nailed it to the ground. Paul then crashed in the middle of a horde like a blazing meteor, causing a powerful quake to disrupt the momentum of the charging horde.
*Boom!*
Pail crushed the pitiful beast that got impaled by his spear. He picked up his spear and flared his overbearing aura amongst the ranks of the horde.
”AAAAHHHHHHHH!”
A guttural roar sounded from Paul's throat, causing a huge disturbance in the horde. A silhouette of colossal sized Snake-tailed Black Tortoise appeared behind his back, looking down on the horde with arrogance and radiating with an Ancient Aura.
As the black tortoise appeared, majority of the beast felt their blood freezing. Their hearts tightened as a profound fear washed over their bodies.
