Chapter 230 - Shining Persona Part Two (1/2)
Minutes passed, and the MechSuit up in the wall were all done charging. Due to the efforts of the melee fighters, the wall stood tall in complete safety without a single scratch.
Bathing in a sea of beasts that reeked of death, the fighters faced tremendous pressure and nearly died a few times. But in the difficult condition, their efficiency when working together rose and they shone with a bright light in the middle of the gloomy battlefield.
Thankfully, there were no other cases similar to the winged gorilla and titanic serpent. But a beast, with a slightly weaker blood essence, had appeared in front of them. Thankfully, with their cumulative effort, they took down the devil spawn in the blink of an eye. Before it even had the time to execute any attack.
They had seen the might those creatures were capable of, and upon seeing the ravage done by the winged gorilla. The team had been fearing the appearance of another deadly monster. Thankfully, the creature they had fought seemed intelligent but wasn't capable of strong battle strength.
The creature's small corpse laid on the ground, with its white fur tainted and dirtied by the red soil under it. Its face, horrifying for anyone to see, as a recognizable expression laid on it. True fear and horror that could be empathized by anyone.
Thankfully, the dozens fighter didn't pay much attention to the creature after killing it, or they simply didn't have the time to.
Soon, the sky was lighted with many bright dots. A small army of a hundred MechSuit fighter came to assist the melee armored soldier that had been holding the defenses alone. Assisted with their ranged weapon, they managed to regain the footing they had earlier, and with the melee users working in a tight formation, the battle completely tilted to the human side.
Deep in the heart of the beast wave, Fell fought right and left while hunting the fierce monsters that had a strong blood essence signal. He met strange creatures he never thought existed, and couldn't help but feel a twisted sense of wonder whenever he slaughtered them.
Morbid thought filled his mind. But the space that had just opened in his body cleansed his thought and gathered them in his sword. His sword intent turned sharper with his developing killing intent. And before long, Fell noticed that a strange veil followed his steps.
”I reek.”, snorted the youth with a twitching nose. He took away his sword from the heart of lizard shaped animal with grey scales, and a face that resembled a skink.
He continued swimming among the dangerous beast, and before long had slaughtered a ridiculous amount of beast, a number so high that he had stopped counting them.
At some point, he noticed that the number of creatures surrounding him had fallen drastically. And whenever he moved, he sensed the blood energy escape from his position; he executed 'Ghostly Stutter,' but it didn't change anything as whenever he moved, the fierce beasts would avoid him.
”Fuck… hunting in those conditions isn't worth the effort…”, he thought before retracing his steps toward the west wall of the city. Thankfully, he had spent the night looking at the landmass surrounding the city and had no difficulty in finding his way back.
