Chapter 256 - To end a race war (2) (1/2)
'Clang~'
'Whosh~'
The fight continued on as Mars added sound effects in his head, and good as the two beastmen were Mars was starting to get tired of fighting them, so he began focusing on the magic formation that had taken away the sound of the area and activated his [Energy: sense], While fighting the two beastmen.
'Now that's clever... Looks like the formation uses the mana conduites inside the castle walls, in that case...'
After fighting for about a minute Mars formed a fire spear, the two beastmen readied themselves to receive or dodge it but to their surprise Mars fired it straight into the wall, the two beastmen revealed disdainful expressions when the second and third fire spear hit the exact same spot, but when the fourth one hit the same spot one of them looked like he had figured out what Mars was doing and quickly made some hand signals to the other that then widened his eyes before he looked at Mars with astonishment before both of them began fighting more desperately to try and stop Mars.
'Looks like they figured it out...'
What Mars was targeting was in fact a central part of the formation that just so happened to be made up of the magic conduit that ran in the easten wall of this hallway, in the exact spot Mars was targeting, seeing they had figured it out and was actively trying to stop him Mars dropped acting like he was at their level and activated [Instant movement] and knocked them both out with a hit from the side of his boardsword before he sunk the boardsword into the wall, severing the mana conduit.
'And here we go...!'
Sound rapidly returned to the world, this of course alerted the beastmen that were trying to open up the reinforced door but it also revealed a loud siren that seemed like it had been going for awhile
”He broke the formation!?”
”How's that possible!?”
Mars gave a smile and swung the adamantite broadsword over his shoulder before he gave a yawn and spoke
”Do you guys mind leaving? I am quite hungry and I have basically just woken up...”
The beastmen of course didn't do as Mars hoped
”He must be a formation master from the human forces!”
”Kill him!”
Mars gave a sigh before he activated [Instant movement] and appeared right in front of one of the charging beastmen and smacked him right in the face with the flat side of his boardsword
*CLANG!*
”Oh how I've missed that sound!”
At this point the remaining 12 beastmen felt a cold shudder at Mars' speed and seeming lax attitude made them realize Mars was not at all taking this serious but still wiped the floor with them
”Come on now, surrender”
The one beastwoman in the middle of the group narrowed her eyes slightly before she asked
”I thought you were going to let us go?”
”Yeah, well that was before you annoyed me by trying to kill me”
”...Say we surrender, can you guarantee our lives?”
”Well the human king bows down to me for a reason... so should you princess”
The beastwoman widened her eyes slightly before she looked away and spoke
”I-I have no idea what you are talking about....”
”Wait seriously? You're the daughter of the beast empress?”
Mars felt a headache coming on, but was quickly interrupted by the arrival of a bunch of knights that quickly spotted the beastmen
”Beastmen, kill them!”
”Yeah, no these are my prisoners”
Mars quickly stopped the knights, or at least he tried to as they seemed to completely ignore him, which pissed him off, as they charged past him Mars activated his presence for the first time in a while
”[DON'T PUSH MY PATIENCE MORTAL]”
The knights froze, most of them passed out but a few of the stronger knights managed to remain conscious but were still unable to move, the beastwoman once again widened her eyes before she spoke
”L-Living god, he's a living god!”
”Oh, your mother must have told you about my kind?”
”Y-Yes, I have heard the stories but didn't believe them before today”
”So I take it as you surrender right?”
”Drop your weapons, we surrender!”
the other beastmen obayed the beastwoman and dropped their weapons
”Good now let's go”
the beastwoman nodded her head and followed after Mars, so did the rest of the beastmen but she was soon surprised that Mars was taking them upstairs and asked
”You're not taking us to the dungen are you?”
”Nah... Besides you won't run will you?”
”We would not dare be disrespectful to you”
”That's good... I like quick witted children”
”I am not a child”
”Are you under 100? Because in that case you are still a child”
One of the beastmen scoffed at Mars before he spoke
”Then what are you? an old man?”
