473 Cold shoulder.
The main aim of the beast’s attack was to disrupt and waste the resources of the humans. That was why the ant queen and the raptor kite had engaged Ebony and Ivory while the armored gorilla attacked the ash corps.
‘Hope this serves.’ Blake said as he took out Reaper from his dimensional pocket.
It has been 3 years since Blake had gotten Ebony and Ivory, and ever since then, he hasn’t used the high-quality tier weapon Reaper. He has held onto it for situations like these, and it wasn’t as if he needed money.
‘Normally I would be escaping with Camilla but now I have people to protect.’ Blake let out a helpless sigh as he channeled the space element into Reaper before activating both lightning reinforcement and mind boost, then dashing at the armored gorilla.
He was the fastest and only one that had a chance of surviving a king rank beast up close. So he had to be the one to engage the king rank beast if not, it would make short work of their formations and arrays.
‘All we have to do is stall it.’ Blake said as his team activated the tier 2 battle array, an elemental cannon and shot a lightning spear at the rock-skinned gorilla.
Although the armored gorilla was a bulky beast it still had all the attributes of a king rank beast. All it took was a slight turn to the right to dodge the spell.
‘What the fuck!’ Blake’s team cursed as they began charging another lightning spear.
The armored gorilla instantly resumed its charge, but that was when it sensed a void dagger aimed at its left eye.
.....
It took the king rank beast almost no effort to dodge the dagger, but that was when it heard the human commander screaming something.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Fire!” Blake screamed to his team.
Without hesitation the team aimed the elemental cannon at Blake and fired, confusing the armored gorilla and everyone that had witnessed it.
Just as the elemental cannon lightning spear was about to crash into Blake, a spatial corridor opened in front of him. Almost instantly, the exit opened right in front of the armored gorilla’s head.
BOOM!
The tier 2 battle array spell had crashed into the king rank beast creating a loud explosion and thick smoke around its head.
Without a doubt, they knew that it was nowhere enough to one-shot a king rank beast let alone a bulky one.
That was why even when the gorilla tried to use the smokescreen to launch a deadly attack, it discovered that not only was the formerly solid ground now quicksand, but branches from the trees nearby had ensnared it.
“I just received a report that the other units are also being attacked by the same numbers as last time.” Camilla reported to Blake as she joined him.
With Ebony and Ivory dealing with the other 2 king rank beasts, it was very important that they took care of the armored gorilla if not it could wipe everyone out.
As for her team, they were faring well against the army of beasts. Those in the hero realm went up against the knight rank beasts while the rest of the unit handled hundreds of beasts.
‘2 extra for me?’
‘Why is my case now different?’
‘It’s most likely because I was the only one that killed mine, meaning if these ones end up dying they would only send more.’
‘kill or let them escape? Nah, it won’t change anything.’ Blake’s thoughts went rampant as he ask and answered his own questions.
He immediately snapped out of his reverie when the armored gorilla roared in outrage and tore the vines and branches holding it.
“Shit!”
…
On the other side of the battlefield.
Ivory continuously fired water and ice spells at the raptor kite, but unfortunately its wings, the trees, and the wind element that granted it even more mobility were making things more difficult for Ivory.
Not too far from Ivory was Ebony who was landing most of its hit on the humanoid queen ant. The problem was that the exoskeleton as well as the earth element constantly protected it.
The fight had started less than 3 minutes ago but Ebony and Ivory were already tired of it.
AWOO!
They howled in anger as the temperature of the area around them began rising and dropping at the same.
Around Ebony, the trees instantly dried up before catching fire. The air around Ivory went from being frosty to instantly freeze all the trees within a certain range.
The chilled atmosphere not only made it easier for Ivory to cast more spells but also gave them more range.
Immediately, Ivory started raining spells at the raptor kite, but unlike before it was now finding the attacks more than twice as hard to dodge.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThis was because the cold had penetrated the raptor kite bones, making every flap of its wings difficult and painful. It resulted in a massive decrease in its speed, forcing it to rely mostly on the wind element to save it.
Grrr!
Ivory growled as the bird’s resistance made Ivory even madder. Its eyes and blue markings on its body started glowing causing the temperature to further drop.
Hundreds of meter-thick icicles swarmed at the raptor kite from all sides, not only had the spells doubled in size but also in strength.
Seeing the spells following it no matter how much it maneuvered, the king rank beast cast a mobile wind domain that comprised hundreds of wind blades and a large tornado protecting it at the center.
Both powers clashed releasing a devastating explosion that sent trees flying and covered the entire battlefield with mist.
Thud!
Seconds after the clash of powers, the 5-meter-tall raptor kite crashed into the ground.
AWOOO!
Ivory howled instantly clearing the mist and revealing it standing on the body of the decapitated raptor kite.
