Chapter 469 - Cults Founders (1) (2/2)
Not only that, but the nearby soldiers also help Julia. Two soldiers came and helped her. After launching the [Wind Bolt], Julia quickly maintained some distance and left the close combat to the two soldiers.
The cult's leader was quickly surrounded by two soldiers, and another two were on their way. He knew the risk when he was doing this [Blitz Attack]. So, before the situation got worse, he turned back and attacked Auron from the back.
Auron was getting a pincer attack from the front and the back. He sensed the attack from the back, but he was still busy dealing with the thief's attacks.
Julia, who was already in a safe position, didn't let the swordsman did what he wishes. She created an [Ice Wall] between Auron and the swordsman.
The swordsman's attack met with the [Ice Wall] and created a crack on the wall before destroying it. Although the [Ice Wall] could not contain the swordsman's attack, it was enough for Auron to dodge the attack.
Auron moved to the side to dodge the swordsman's attack. Then, he moved to the back to join back with Julia and the other. When he was backing out, the soldiers around him already moved past him and helped him.
However, the three founders didn't let them getting surrounded. The three of them had already divided their task. The thief was tasked to deal with the soldiers coming to them while the swordsman was tasked to deal with the strong individual. Meanwhile, the cleric was supporting the two of them.
Auron and Julia, along with four soldiers, counterattacked. Auron led the four soldiers and charged at the swordsman.
Clang... Auron's dagger met with the leader's sword. Then, the two soldiers beside Auron chopped at the leader. Meanwhile, the other two soldiers were trying to attack the cleric. However, they were blocked by the thief.
Seeing there were attacks incoming to him, the cult's leader used his [Aura's barrier] and received the attack. He had to take this risk if he wanted to move forward. It was unfortunate that his shield had been destroyed, or he didn't have to worry about this attack.
After taking the damage with his barrier, the leader used [Whirlwind Slash] to drove Auron and the two soldiers away. Auron and the two soldiers had pushed away.
But, the leader didn't stop right there. He followed up on his skill. However, he didn't target Auron. Instead, he picked one of the soldiers first. A stabbed to the soldier's calf and followed with a slash to the soldier's forehead.
The other soldier wanted to get up. However, the cult's leader stomped his foot and made the soldier could not get up. He pulled up his sword from the other soldiers and stabbed it into this soldier's chest twice.
To ensure that both of the soldiers had died, the leader gave them a stab to their heart once.
The incident was so quick that Auron, who was near the two soldiers, reacted late. He had just stood up when the leader had given a stab to the two soldiers' hearts.
