Chapter 67: Dara Initiates A Massacre (1/2)
”Kill them all and I want that Dara alive!”
The Chief bellowed as these men roared battle cries before bolting towards the fence, and they were barely two meters off the fence when one of them had his leg catch a trip wire;
Instantly, the massive spikes lined at the fence which they thought was there to ward beasts away abruptly catapulted towards their stunned group…
Puchi! Splurt!
More than a dozen massive spikes, the size of an entire branch with the girth of an adult human laps stabbed through these men, impaling them like a wild boar on a roast…
Each of these spikes impaled at least four experts completely taking over 50 of these men in one fell swoop as the rest of them had the first inkling of fear seep into their very souls;
”March on!”
The Village Chief bellowed from a safe distance as the men forced themselves to follow the orders and run into the residence, and that was when the arrows began to target them one after the other…
It was like 400 american football players chasing a single opponent who was about to make a touchdown;
But just as they ran ahead, some of them began to fall lifelessly, but it was at a very slow rate because they were now more prepared for the arrows and as a result, only one or two fell every other minute…
The moment the Village Chief and his two elders crossed Uncle Min who was now atop the plateau pushed a crane like wooden structure out of the apartment, and loaded it with a ball of beast carcass which had been full to the brim with beast blood…
The moment he noticed the village chief had entered their residence, he brought up his dagger and slashed down at a vine, the moment the vine snapped, the wooden structure catapulted the massive ball of beast carcass into the sky;
But just as it was about hit the entrance of the settlement, Dara fired another flaming arrow which hit the ball of beast carcass…
Instantly, the combustible beast blood ignited, and the massive ball which was the size of a massive wine barrel exploded, scattering flames all over the entrance, leaving the Village Chief and all his men with no way to escape through except to run ahead…
Uncle Min launched another massive ball of beast carcass into the air and Dara fired once again causing the flames to scatter in every direction this time as several of these experts caught fire…
Dara who was still about 20 meters from the fence of the residence was running over at full throttle, and once he got to the ten meter tall fence, he stomped on the ground with one foot as the muscle in that stomping leg expanded drastically…
They bulged to almost twice their size, and catapulted Dara about 15 meters into the air and over the fence; Dara didn't even wait to land before whipping out about five arrows and killing another five experts…
He landed with a roll and stood to a kneeling shooting stance before launching three quick fire salvo, taking down three more experts again…
The experts who were running ahead didn't focus on the situation behind them because they wanted to get out of range of the archer, and in order to do so, the needed to reach the base of the plateau and light a fire for them to be kept out of the dark and prevent being picked apart by the savage archer…
But just after taking three more steps, the ground beneath them gave way and about a dozen experts initially fell into ring of death; they were instantly impaled by the beast blood coated spikes within the pit which slowly poisoned and corroded them…
The next set of experts behind the fallen ones were just able to stop right in front of the pit, but the ones coming behinds these experts couldn't see what was up ahead and couldn't stop in time, and as a result, they ended up pushing their comrades into their death…
Since the battle had begun, over 60 burly men from the Village of Sang had perished, with 25 of them dying to the ring of death alone…
About another 20 fleet footed men had died to the archery of Dara and Aunt Lin; but the nimble, fleet footed men, simply didn't stop and instead used the momentum of their approach to jump over the pit as the Village Chief smiled at his troops quick thinking, but after running for about 10 seconds, the floor beneath the fleet footed men once again gave way as they all fell into another pit…
But shockingly, these fleet footed men simply found themselves, fall into a pool of beast blood;
”We are alright, it's just beast blood!”
They yelled to their counterparts to carry on with their advance, but just as the word beast blood entered the Village Chief's ear, he looked behind himself and saw the flames which were still burning over the scattered blood of the beasts, and instantly he came to a realization;
”No, wait!”
But it was too late as Min Hong had lit up another arrow, and fired it…
The village chief and the elders watched the flaming arrow fly past overhead in slow motion and with slacked jaws they saw it enter the pit, before an explosion the magnitude of 50 hiroshimas rocked the entire residence;
Kaboom!
Flames of over 50 meters burnt out of the ring of fire and stood tall like a wall of flames…
The experts within the pit were blown to bits of blood and gore, and those of the experts who were in the process of jumping over the pit when the explosion happened, landed on the other side of the pit dead, but still burning as the scent of burnt air wafted all over the area…
