Chapter 71: Ambush (1/2)
Rex carries Calidora and brought her back to the others,
Liliya is lying on the ground, her body is in a weakened state as she reaches out inside her robe with her trembling hand.
She takes out a vial of Elixir that has a green substance in it, she gulped it down in one go before throwing it away.
Devan on the other hand is leaning on a tree, the elixir he got from Rex is already empty during their way to here so there's no more elixir to heal his exhaustion.
Rex lay Calidora below a tree, he then checks on Liliya.
”Liliya, you alright?”, Rex asks as he inspects Liliya's injury that is starting to heal.
The light injury is healing at a visible rate but her broken arm will not heal in this short time, she needs to get to a doctor or a high-level elixir to heal it.
Liliya smiles bitterly and said, ”You caught her?”
Rex nodded his head before pointing at Calidora under a tree.
Looking at this, Liliya then closes her eyes with steady breaths, ”Let me rest for a bit”, she mutters weakly.
After confirming Liliya's state, Rex looks at the Haltijas corpse and thought, 'They're really strong, they manage to block Liliya's most powerful attack from harming Calidora. There is not even a dent on her body'
Devan walks slowly from afar and said, ”We still need to go check on the Silver Mooncress...”
Hearing this, Rex was surprised.
He almost forgot about the Silver Mooncress,
Rex looks at the others and frowns, ”You and Liliya are not in a state for fighting, it will be suicide sneaking into Zrolis City with your current state”, he said firmly.
Devan and Liliya didn't argue, they both know their own state.
”There's no other choice then, I'll go alone”, Rex said with determination, he looks noble but truthfully he just wanted to see if he can steal the Silver Mooncress instead.
Devan denied immediately, ”No! You can't possibly sneak inside alone”
Rex smirked, ”Don't worry, I won't die that easily. Just keep an eye on the princess, I just knocked her out”
Devan wanted to deny even more but he saw Rex's stubborn look and decided to let him be, 'If he's confident in surviving then I just need to trust him', he thought before giving up on holding Rex back.
After nodding his head, Rex left the place heading back to Zrolis City.
The cold night wind breeze past Rex's body, it makes his hair stand on end.
The dark swamp should've been a place no humans visited during the night, the mutated animals are more active at night. Any normal person should've been afraid but not Rex.
He is rushing towards Zrolis City, the mutated animals that attacked him got swatted by him dead.
Rex also didn't forget to take another route around the river being as far as possible from the cursed creature's territory, that's the only thing that can threaten him in this swamp.
After running for quite a while, Rex suddenly stops on his track.
His Supernatural Senses are tingling, he jumped up to the nearby trees and scout in front of him.
Rex's eyes are put to full use, he saw many Supernatural around the back entrance of Zrolis City preparing a cargo and making so much noise.
It is full of Supernaturals, they are all gathered there but all of them are low-rank.
'They started their strategy, the high-rank Supernatural should be on...', Just as he was thinking he suddenly realized.
His body went stiff as he looks around, 'They're supposed to make an ambush for the humans guild here!!'
Just as he wants to run away as far as possible, ”HUMANS!”, a rough roar was heard from below.
Rex's body went stiff, 'Shit they caught me!'
Before he decided to make a run for it, he felt many bloodthirsty aura exploded below him. The aura numbered in hundreds! There are even some that reach rank 6!
ROAR!!
The Supernatural dashes forward, Rex was helpless to the situation but suddenly they rush past him.
Rex who is on top of the tree didn't get attacked, he looks to where the Supernatural is heading and saw a battalion of humans sneaking inside the swamp taking the bait from the noise on the back entrance.
The battalion of humans clad in white and blue uniform was caught off guard, they didn't expect the Supernatural to set a trap for them here.
”It's a trap!! Fire the help signal now!!”, a middle-aged woman ordered, she's wearing a blue and white uniform with a blue cape on her back. She's emitting a pressuring aura of a commander, her blue eyes are fierce but now it is flickering with surprise.
Three humans of the battalion glow with red energy, a red circle appear below their feet emitting intense red smoke that makes their hairs flutters.
They held their arms upwards, the fire mana bubbled around their body before concentrating on their hands,
PIUUU!
A red ball of light shot out from their hands, it intertwined in a circle with each other before it exploded.
BOOM!!
The red ball of light exploded like a firework, it is eye-catching, especially during the night.
Hordes of Supernatural come out endlessly from their hiding spots, their number seems endless as a fight breaks out between the humans and Supernaturals.
The humans are overwhelmed, they are caught off guard so the Supernatural already take out a bunch of them before they manage to regroup.
Liches, Ogres, and Grendels attacks the human battalion from all sides,
They run rampant killing every human that caught in their paths, it is a gory scene where limbs flew everywhere.
The brown ground turned red, blood bathes the battlefield in red.
”AARGHH!! HELP!!”, one of the humans cried out in agony, its hands are severed from his body.
The human can't cried for long before his head were bitten off by the Grendels, Supernaturals have no mercy as they brutally attack all of the humans they found.
Some of the humans can also stand their ground, they fire a barrage of bullets imbued with mana that pierces the Supernaturals.
BOOM!!
With one barrage of bullets, tens of Supernaturals died instantly.
The humans cheered in joy, the fight starting to look in their favor. They reloaded their guns and prepares for a second barrage,
BOOM!!
They expect the Supernaturals to die even more but suddenly,
SHIINGG!!
Blockage of ice exploded from the ground intercepting the bullets, it makes the battlefield trembles as it pierced the ground.
The commander of the humans glances to the ice, she squinted her eyes and saw a couple of liches chanting behind the horde.
She gritted her teeth, ”LICHES!! Wind Elementalists follow me!”, she raises her sword, her sword just pierced two Grendels that are still stuck on the sword.
She waves her sword slashing the Grendels apart before pointing to the liches.
Looking at the commander dominating the battlefield, the human battalion becomes more ferocious.
The commander dashes while slashing her way through the Supernaturals, her sword glows with a blue hue as she massacred the Supernaturals standing in her way.
