Chapter 380: Final Confrontation (2) (1/2)

Fourteen against seven Transcendents. That's how the odds became after one of their Transcendents took off to the field to deal against Reinys and the other two.

However, even with that kind of odds wherein we had to each take down two of them, it's not as bad as it seems.

Because I egged him to go up the stage first, Raiden was somewhat grumpy when he called out two Transcendents of the enemy camp to fight with him.

One Beastmaster Transcendent and one whose tribe I don't know.

The Dark Beastmaster's Soul-bound beast looks like a giant lizard. Not close to a dragon though. It has deep-orange color and it oozed out, from the cracks of its skin, lava.

When it flew up, the Corrupted Barbarians as well as the Mortal Rank Dark Beastmasters hurriedly got out of their way, afraid that the lava from the lizard's skin would fall on them.

However, given the cramped battlefield wherein it was hard to get out once one entered, some of them failed to get out the way and got burned and melted by the lava. And it didn't stop at that, that drop made a puddle of lava, leading the unlucky ones who only thought of retreating, tripped on it and swam inside until their deaths.

Just by that, it's fairly easy to see that Mortal and Transcendent Rank battlefields shouldn't be this close. The Mortal Ranks would receive unaccounted casualties.

Nonetheless, the ones battling up above didn't really care about it. When the lizard reached Raiden's distance, it opened its mouth making its long tongue stretch towards him.

Raiden didn't opt to dodge that and instead, even in mid-air, he stepped forward and a burst of Psyche Energy was discharged from his palms. It's not the initial Temporal Acceleration but another skill borne from that.

That burst of Psyche Energy was eerily similar to a H*douken shot towards the lizard who didn't even try to dodge or its master failed to recognize the threat coming from it.

When it hit one of the lizard's legs, in a blink of an eye, the leg got bent down in a weird angle, not just once but a lot of times that I already lost count after a hundred.

Following that, a loud shriek of pain from the lizard rang out and the mess which is its leg finally got ripped off its huge body. That resulted in its scalding violet blood to drip down the ground, hitting the fighting Mortal Ranks.

On the enemy's side, the Beastmaster Transcendent appeared to be surprised at it but he gritted his teeth and sent down his Dark Energy to close his Soul-bound beast's wound.

Taking his eyes off that master and pet duo, Raiden then turned his attention to the other Transcendent who probably got a scare of his life seeing that happen.

Truthfully, that skill of Raiden could easily be dodged but the Beastmaster Transcendent opted not to. That's overconfidence.

Raiden pulled out his sledgehammer and three Pillars materialized on his side. Without turning them to their Guardian Forms, Raiden brought all three as he rushed in to attack the Transcendent.

When that happened, a loud burst of Brute and Dark Energy sprang up from the point of impact. With that clash from them, the battlefield for the Transcendents opened.

Down below, I already activated every enhancement, buffs and Blessings I have except the Supplementary Skills.

Watching that fight also made the girls beside me eager to fight.

”Daisuke. I'm going in. Watch me.”

With a bright smile on her lips, the first to step up was Avelin. Her weapon already changed to the great axe I looted from that horned Transcendent back at the World of Elements. Calling out her Pillar Guardians, the innocent Barbarian rode her giant falcon to fly up.

Upon seeing that, the descendant at the other side commanded 2 of his controlled Transcendent to face her.

As soon as Avelin noticed the two incoming Transcendents, her Crown appeared, perfectly fitting her little head. One of the Jewels embedded on it shined and a burst of Brute Energy hit the incoming Transcendents.

Although they put their guard up, Avelin's Jewel Skill drilled onto their Energy Barrier and successfully hit them, putting the two to a stop and dazed for a second.

Looking at the Barbarian girl, once her skill hit the enemy, her Transcendent Aura grew in intensity. With her great axe that was covered with her Axeforce, she instantly traversed the space between her and the two vacant-eyed Transcendents.

Avelin yelled as she swung her great axe in full strength. From the sharp edges of her weapon, devastating energy cleaved right into her opponents' body.

Following that, the elephant-like Pillar Guardian stretched its long trunk, coiling around the defenseless enemies and to end her first round of attacks, gorilla-like Pillar Guardian delivered a shattering punch which sent the two Transcendents down to the ground creating a huge crater.

”That skill of Avelin… It's now that strong that even controlled enemies who couldn't think for themselves became dazed from being hit by it.”

I still remember. That's the first Augmented Skill she created, the Pulse Wave. When it got upgraded to a Halo, the skill would give her a burst of strength when it successfully affected someone. All her skills leaned towards giving her overwhelming strength and those Pillar Guardians of her also appeared to be doing the same.

Before going down to follow the two Transcendents below, Avelin looked back first and showed another bright smile. I returned it and nodded at her.
