440 The Power of a Fully-Evolved Hell-Flame Fox (1/2)
When they spotted Tralbok running away, at first they thought it a good sign. That was until they saw Argyle carrying Jack toward Lorwynn.
Realizing that Tralbok was after Jack, they felt their hearts clench.
Their interference would be equal to a fly pestering a man. They wouldn't reach Jack sooner than the nimble god and would die with a flick of Tralbok's finger. With no way to help, watched Eedaj doing everything possible to keep Tralbok at bay.
It had become clear that Eedaj was unable to control this new godly addition to the battle. If anything, it only made the men on the wall feel worse.
Tralbok was blinded momentarily but he suddenly removed the entire orb of darkness, creating a window of opportunity to throw an attack at Jack.
But when the orb of darkness reappeared, those on the wall were left with their jaws agape.
Beating loudly, their hearts struggled to wait for the reveal of Jack's fate.
Then, that new god rose above the orb of darkness, seemingly unscathed. It pulled the men's heartstrings tighter.
The other mid-level and barely-high-level members of the guild watched as well, not wanting to believe their eyes. After everything that the Leisure Guild and Jack showed off, those new guild members rushed to the Leisure Guild hoping to gain a higher position as the first batch of high-level recruits. There weren't too many of them, but their presence was greatly appreciated in the battle and overall. Yet now, they watched as a god hunted down their cause for joining the guild.
It didn't take long for that god to change targets, rushing toward a man they had never met before. That man had proven to be astoundingly powerful earlier but those new recruits and the current leaders of the Leisure Guild didn't believe that Lorwynn could survive the god's pursuit.
However, Lorwynn put up a great fight. He dashed through the air, making Tralbok fight for the opportunity to kill him. When Lorwynn was eventually captured, everyone was shocked to see Lorwynn target himself with such a powerful lightning spell, all to hurt the god.
They didn't hear his final words, but everyone watching gained a great deal of respect for the mortal man who attempted to harm a god, even in the face of death.
As Lorwynn fell and was caught, they noticed the wyrm rushing back at full speed with the corpse on his back.
Vixus shouted to the many new guild members, ”Anyone with resurrection spells, step forward! You'll receive special favor within the guild for your services.”
The man and women were given their assignment, rushing toward Hurmot with everything they had.
At the same time, The crowd on the city wall saw that merciless god redirect himself at a new target. As the god was quite far away, it wasn't hard for the crowd to realize where he was heading.
They saw the defenseless fox howling as that god rushed toward it. Some felt tempted to rush and interfere, but utterly doubted their abilities to do so.
Just then, everyone heard a loud crack. Searching for the source of the sound, the crowd spotted fresh cracks in the city wall where that hooded figure once stood. They were speechless as they saw that hooded figure rocket through the air at a speed that rivaled the god!
When that merciless god evaded all of Eedaj's attacks while preparing his own strike, that hooded figure also prepared an attack as he never stopped his mad dash for the fox. However, both the hooded figure's attack and Tralbok's attack were thrown at the fox.
The wind blade of Tralbok's was deadly and meant to instantly kill the helpless fox. But the other attack landed first.
