Chapter 156 - The Ark Of Backup Arrives (1/2)

Swirling on top of him, a single bolt of lightning hurled down and onto his palms. He then clenched his fist with the bolt. An orb of lightning appeared on his knuckles, growing as he aimed at Tiamat's head.

”Flashbang!” yelled Raiyen as he directed the shot at massive Beast.

As the being sang, Raiyen's attack was futile. It merely dispersed right in front of the Time Mage's eyes. The being then stuck out its arm and tried to fling it towards Raiyen. But the Time Mage was concerned about his Elemental Energy pool, failing to see the oncoming attack.

But before Tiamat could touch him, a loud gunshot was heard and the being's attention was diverted from the Time Mage. It was then followed by a landslide of synchronized gunshots.

”Raiyen!” yelled the familiar voice of a barista.

The Time Mage dodged the oncoming attack, landing nicely on a large boulder. Tiamat started howling as it readjusted its attention to the armies. Meanwhile, he glanced at the outskirts of the town. His eyes widened as he gave a bright smile.

”Long time no see, little boy,” greeted Baron Tuazon, with the entire firing squad from Albion.

”Same goes for you, Gabby,” smirked Raiyen as he chanced upon the entire armada.

But his smile soon diminished as he looked at 'Tiamat'. The army of soldiers continued to fire endlessly at the Beast. Bullets dealt no harm towards the Mother of Creation. If Raiyen continues, he would be on the losing end. Not only that, Tiamat might kill everyone as well.

”What is that thing?!” asked Earl Yan as he landed beside his partner.

”That's Tiamat. A knock-off version, at least,” explained Raiyen, glitching right behind them.

”The Mother of Creation?!” yelled the two.

Another high-pitched sound came out, this time it decimated the forces from Albion. Its serpents were intent on hunting each human down as it wreaked havoc around the area.

”If only Minwoo and Ashley were still here... Minwoo could kill that thing using Gemini...” mumbled Earl Yan, as he aimed at Tiamat's eyes.

”Don't hope for something from the past to come true. Focus on the things you have now,” instructed Gab as he threw a few grenades to the Beast.

”You are right,” replied Earl Yan, turning 180 degrees to shoot the oncoming serpent behind the barista.

”Thanks”

”Something from my past...” chanted Raiyen as he brought out his Ancient Relic once more.
