Chapter 217: Beah City (2/2)
Kyran arrives on the demon's back hits both of the backs of the demon's knees, and at the exact moment, he sweeps the demon's legs by kicking them.
This allows Edward to swiftly mount on the demon's back and stab the demon to death.
”Let's go to the next one”, Edward said before Kyran leads the way.
Because of the formation of the demon watchmen,
Edward and Kyran's job becomes easier because they come from different directions and they're all alone, this allows Edward and Kyran to take them out one by one.
Their chemistry becomes better and killing the coming demons becomes easy.
After sweeping the surrounding demons that are heading towards here, both Edward and Kyran got back to Rex's position.
Upon arriving there,
Their eyes widened in surprise seeing Rex waiting for them with the white beast beside him.
Edward approach Rex as he marvels at Delta, ”So this is your Zeragon partner, it's a fifth rank mutated animal no less”
”Can I touch it?”, Kyran asks while looking at Delta's thick fur.
Hearing this, Rex chuckles lightly before he said, ”It's not the time to do this, let's go save Adhara's father first”
The three of them then dashes towards Beah City direction,
With the information Rex got from the system, they can now move easily through the demon watchmen knowing that they can kill them silently.
Many of the demon watchmen are the fourth rank, and this is a breeze for Rex.
He can even kill a fifth rank demon silently, so their journey through the abandoned city becomes easier to travel.
Even Edward was surprised to see Rex's strength,
It's not long since he got into Faraday University, but the power he currently wields is already far apart from him who used to be the second strongest in Faraday University.
Killing fifth rank demons is easy for Rex, and this shows Rex to have at least peak rank five or sixth rank power.
It didn't take long for them to arrive in Beah City,
Rex climbs a tree and looks at Beah City in front of him, the situation is not good as the demons are already pounding on the entrance of the city.
But although it is dire, the city has defense mechanics of its own.
On top of the city wall, there're automated turrets that are firing rounds towards the demons, and it manages to hold back the demons substantially.
Even the entrance of the city has been engraved by offensive formation.
It was the work of a Formation Master,
Formation master just got is another Awakened profession, this profession is invented after intense research humanity did to understand runes.
Only a few Awakened becomes a Formation Master because there's still no manual book to become a Formation Master, only by learning runes themselves can one become a Formation Master.
And this process needs a huge amount of will and hard work to achieve success.
”There's a formation master inside that city, it should hold on for quite a bit but”, Rex said but he then looks at the demons attacking the gates that are crawling like ants.
He then continues, ”There are so many demons...”
”Rex, look at that!”, Kyran said while pointing in a direction.
On the side of the city wall, there's a secret door where people inside the city start coming out to escape the invasion.
The demons are focused on the entrance, so they tried to use this to evacuate the city people.
Looking at this, Rex smiles in delight, ”We'll go through there, I've met Adhara's father and he might be amongst them”
But before they can go there, Edward suddenly saw something.
”REX!! We need to hurry!!”, Edward shouted while pointing towards the right where a demon saw the people evacuating.
With that, Rex picks up his pace, ”Let's go!!”
Meanwhile,
”Quick! Follow Adrian! He knows where the shelter is!”, a man shouted while holding the secret door open.
The man wears a uniform with a gun crest on his chest, it seems that he's an Awakened sent from a guild.
People young to old came out of the secret door in a panic.
Their city suddenly got invaded by the demons from Benrith City, and because of this, they didn't manage to evacuate the city people.
All of them are running towards the forest on the side,
But the forest is still a good distance away from the city wall, it is roughly about fifty meters away from the city wall and it's split by a shallow river that the city used as a water source.
This exposes the people as they try to run into the forest.
About fifty of them already managed to get out, when suddenly,
ROAR!!
A roar resounded from their side as a four-armed demon holding a fiery ax saw them, it then started to gallop towards the evacuating people like a raging bull.
After the roar, many demons also saw the people and they started to run after them.
It's still quite a distance from the entrance of the city to the secret door, but the demons are fast and their blood-hungry eyes are fixated on the evacuating people.
Looking at this, the man that is holding the secret door shouted, ”RUN FASTER!!”
”You three, help me buy some time for the people!”, the man said while pointing towards three other men in armor.
By the glowing aura of the man, it's evident that he's an Awakened.
But the three men hesitated to walk out of the city after seeing the blood-hungry demons, they're shaking on their boots.
The man glance at them in shock, ”YOU'RE THE CITY GUARD!! COME HELP THE PEOPLE!”
Hearing this, the three men's face turns red in embarrassment but one of them finally said, ”I'm sorry sir...”
Brak!!
The secret door slammed shut in front of the man's face, this makes him laugh lightly ridiculing himself for trusting such people.
Knowing that he too can't escape the predicament,
The men steady his sword in front of them while glaring at the charging demons.
ROAR!!
The sound of the demons charging resounded to the evacuating people, their will to survive kicks in as they kept on running tiredly.
Many of the demons are getting closer, their hulking body makes the man grip his sword tighter.
”RAARGHH!!”, the man shouted as one of the demons leaped towards him.
But suddenly,
BAM!!
BOOM!!
Someone punches the demon's face sending the demon crashing to the city wall, it creates a web-like crack upon crashing to the wall before its head explodes.
This caught the man in surprise,
”Kyran! Edward!! Escort the evacuating people!”, a man shouted wearing a black uniform.
The other two men that just arrived wearing the same then dashes towards the evacuating people just like the man's instructed.
It's Rex and the others, they arrived right on time.
Rex stands tall in front of the man who is gripping his sword tightly, he looks at the charging demons as his fighting spirit lifted.
”Who-Who are you?”, asks the man stutteringly.
Hearing this, Rex glance back at the man before a smile crept on his face.
Without answering the man, Rex dashes towards the horde of demons as he started to massacre the demons left and right.
This happened in front of the man who stood frozen still,
He then gritted his teeth seeing Rex fighting against the demons, ”RAARGHH!!”, he shouted as he joins in the battle full of vigor.
