Chapter 698 - Three Sides, The Three Ongoing Battles in the Mountains (2/2)
”Gege, focus.”
Mei reprimanded Mark, who was not taking the situation seriously.
”Alright, alright.”
Mark shrugged as he waved Ignis, killing several insects around him with both the slash and the sword's black flames.
It could not be helped that Mark got distracted by the display of Diwata Iraya and Lord Seis.
A Beam-O-War was a common trope in every entertainment genre. Whether it be film or literature, even video games, had a fair share of this trope.
Still, seeing the trope happen in front of your eyes was an entirely different experience. Mark, an Otaku, could not help but feel amazed, genuinely.
In any case, it was really not a time to be distracted.
Mark and Mei were currently flying around, surrounded by hundreds of insects, each oozing with poison and flying as fast as bullets.
Because of these insects, Legra alone might be able to eliminate all the Spirits and Elementals on the island. However, that was not possible with Diwata Iraya around.
Both Diwata Iraya and Lord Seis were strong enough to eliminate each other's army. However, because of the same reason, the two leaders were destined to fight each other, leaving the warriors to fight by themselves for the most part.
BOOM!
A shockwave enveloped the whole place, disrupting every battle that was happening.
The beams of energy that Diwata Iraya and Lord Seis continued to release reached their highest point and exploded.
Nonetheless, the two did not stop. Diwata Iraya took the initiative to charge forward, conjuring balls of light with her hands. As she flew, however, the gigantic arm of Lord Seis punched at her.
BAM!
The punch missed, creating a shockwave that uprooted several trees. Diwata Iraya circled around the arm and shot the balls of light towards Lord Seir's c.h.e.s.t.
Hitting the body of Lord Sies, the balls of light exploded.
Unfortunately, aside from burnt strands of fur, the lord of Demons was unscathed.
Lord Seis, with his free left hand, tried to grab the Diwata flying in front of him. Fortunately, Diwata Iraya managed to rush under the Demon's arm and wings, circling behind his back.
WHOOM!
The sound of energy being gathered sounded and Diwata Iraya threw a ball of light larger than her body on the back of Lord Seis.
BAM!
Lord Sies' right foot caused the ground to quake as he staggered forwards because of Diwata Iraya's attack. Unfortunately, the Diwata's attack was far from enough to hurt the gigantic Demon.
***
While the two leaders fought, their minions were at a full-blown war. For the most part, they still followed the hit and run strategy that Mark told them to do. However, with the higher-ranked Demons joining the fray, skirmishes could not help but happen as the two sides clashed here and there.
BOOM!
An explosion of flames echoed inside the forest. Flames scattered as the Flame Demon fired balls of flames towards its opponent.
The Flame Demon's opponent... It was no other than the Cursed Armor, Morlkil.
Being a heavy armor, Morlkil could not dodge the balls of flames. Most of the attacks that the Flame Demon hurled at Morlkil hit the target.
However, Morlkil's body was an armor. It could not feel pain or heat. As such, it continued to charge at the Flame Demon without any shred of fear.
The Flame Demon, having low intelligence, just continuously hurled attacks at the Cursed Armor without any thought of retreating. It did not even notice that Morlkil was unaffected by its attacks.
Soon, the Flame Demon was already within the reach of the Cursed Armor's Greatsword.
And there, Morlkil unleased wide slash at the Flame Demon.
Unfortunately, the fog suddenly blurred Morlkil's vision. The Flame Demon vanished in front of it because of the veil of fog. However, the fog did not stop the Cursed Armor's charge. As if waiting for this moment, Morlkil's sword released a faint glow.
SWISH!
The sword slashed through the fog.
”ARGH!”
A pained voice echoed as the wall of fog vanished in front of Morlkil. A few meters away in front, the Flame Demon stood. Beside it was Muggur with his left arm dangling because of a wound.
”You!”
Muggur was definitely surprised at this situation. He was actually wounded while he was in his mist form.
And to respond to Muggur's anger, Morlkil, with his left hand putting the heavy sword on its shoulder, stretched his right arm forward. Pulling its fingers upwards, Morlkil was provoking the Mist Demon to a fight.
***
At the sky, Mark and Mei's troubles continued. Well, it was not really called trouble in a sense. Even though the hybrid insects were flying as fast as bullets, Mark and Mei could evade them. If they were about to get hit, Mark would turn into a surge of black mist while Mei would appear somewhere else with a flash of light.
Below, Legra was already frustrated at this situation. She was controlling hundreds of her insects to kill two flying Demons. Yet, not to mention killing them, the insects could not even touch a strand of their hair. And instead, her insects were slowly being reduced by the two.
Like mosquitos clapped in flight, Legra's insects fell one by one. Whether it be Mark's sword or Mei's gun, their attacks could accurately hit their target.
Nonetheless, the situation was a bit annoying.
”There's no end to this, huh?”
Mark grumbled as he slashed three insects in one go. Well, it was not like Mark was not at fault here. He was stalling and not taking it seriously. He knew that since these insects had no thoughts of their own and were being controlled, he only needed to attack Legra below.
In any case, it was not like what Mark was doing was without purpose.
Since the start when Legra did not die from Mei's gunshot, he knew that Legra would not die easily. Thus, with his red glowing eyes, he was purposely making the old hag frustrated.
”ATTACK!”
Legra roared in frustration as she commanded her insects to all attack Mark and Mei at once.
Then, Mark's eyes lit up.
”Found you!”
Mark smiled as he turned to a surge of black mist, charging towards the grub Legra was riding on.
