33 Cultivating Mercenaries (2/2)
He pulls out a sword and shield. 'I just have to hold her here, until they kill that demonic beast,' he thinks. ”Come on bitch,” Billy goads. The enthusiastic smile on Elanor's face sends a shiver down his spine. ”Sure!” Elanor agrees while producing a sword.
On the hill, the four mercenaries close in on Joe. Sensing danger the demonic bull jumps to his hoofs. ”Marroooooo!” he roars, his eyes red with rage. ”Alright get ready!”Johnathon yells as he produces a halberd.
Johnathon swings his halberd towards the demonic bulls head. Joe counters the blow with his horn sending Johnathon flying. Marvin and Wayne charge at Joe's big belly with their spears. The combination attack forces Joe to unleash his demonic art. Two bulls head made up of demonic energy clash, with the two spears stopping them in their tracks. From above Steven unleashes a hail of arrows at Joe's back. Joe snorts sending a gust of wind blasting up knocking aside the attack.
John's focus is broken by the sudden commotion. It would normally be impossible for these men, to get so close without him noticing. He was just too focused on transferring his energy. It takes every ounce of his focus to regulate the flow. All the mystic herbs now look healthy and lush. The Stone Porcupine herb now covers the boulder with spikes. Each spike solidified by immense amounts of earth energy.
'Damn it, neither of us have recovered yet,' John curses as he watches Joe struggle. The bull is being continuously barraged by attacks from all sides. John knew that if things keep up the four men will break through, Joe's defenses sooner or later.
When he looks at the other fight, he is relieved. 'Things are going much better down there,' he thinks. The man with the sword and shield is only capable of defending. Yet with him turtling like that, it may take too long for her to aid Joe.
”Come on! I thought you wanted to fight not dance,” Elanor derides the man. She noticed that he was just trying to buy time. 'If that is the case I can just go all out!' she decides. Billy can only curse his luck, 'This woman is a beast.' Elanor unleashes her strength slashing at the shield. Every strike knocks Billy off balance. Slowly she carves up the shield. Metal gashes accumulate destroying the integrity of the shield. 'I'll be in trouble soon,' Billy thinks while sweating bullets.
Stevens glances at the battle down below, observing the difference in strength between the two combatants. ”There's no more time,” informs Steven. ”Fine! Everyone use your suppressing chains,” Marvin orders. On cue, they all pull out golden chains.
The four of them throw the chains at the demonic bull. ”Dodge!” John yells in Joe's head. But it is too late. The four chains entangle Joe's limbs. Joe yanks with all his might sending the four men stumbling about. Still, slowly the mercenaries pull the chains tight. Joe's legs are stretched out like a star, unable to be used properly. His demonic energy suppressed by the chains.
”Now let's end this and help Billy,” Wayne sneers. All four procure spears. They thrust forward giving Joe no way to escape. ”MOOOO!” Joe yells with unwillingness. He'd just reached the next stage how could he die like this. But the truth can't be altered the killing blows begins to penetrate his skin.
