66 Pearl City Defense 3 (1/2)
”...”
The giant tortoise's head peeked out of its shell hole.
It was a huge magical beast even compared to the earth dragon!
The best way to describe it would be as a 'walking fortress'.
If the Irkalia bracelet did not have a huge energy cost and could be used indefinitely, Rainer would have used it right now...this was beyond his predictions!
All the team moved to attack the magical beast, but its shell blocked all incoming attacks.
”...”
As everyone focused on its head and shell, the tail covered with spikes hit in their direction!
Boom!
Like an explosion had occurred, the whole ground was destroyed and a dust cloud obscured the team's sight.
”Spread out! If that thing hits you, you're dead!” Shouted Troy.
Whoosh!
Rainer swung Scale of Doom as he used his spatial cutting.
Everything in its path seemed to be cut in half, even the dust cloud split in two allowing the combatants to see the situation they were in.
”...!”
The turtle had opened its jaws and a light could be seen at the end of its dark throat!
”Take cover! Everyone take cover!” Shouted several people while the world seemed to have lost all trace of darkness.
Like a sketch, the cultivators' sight was filled with white.
”...”
Rainer was unable to hear anything, a ray of light landed on the ground where the team had been a few moments before and the powerful light seemed to absorb all the colors, white was the only color that filled his vision!
”Arrrrggghh!”
”My leg!Where it's my leg?!”
...
Numerous screams that were drowned out by the lightbeam pressure could be heard after the turtle attack ended.
”...”
Many cultivators were on the ground, some had lost their limbs and were screaming in pain while others...were not even moving....
”This...this was not what I wanted... ”Rainer muttered as he fell on his knees...
He just stood there, not moving while some people rescued the wounded ones and others attacked the magical beast.
Pa!
A slap brought Rainer back to reality.
As he looked up, Rainer saw Kradlo looking at him with disdain as he said...
”You seemed so confident when you told us about your plan...but look at you now, you are pathetic...we are risking our lives here!” Shouted Kradlo before attacking the giant turtle again.
Alisha came running, her small body was covered with bruises and dust, she had to be hit by the previous attack, but luckily she was not seriously wounded.
”Rainer, are you wounded?” Asked Alisha as her flames searched for an wound over Rainer's body.
