Inhuman Warlock-Novel

Chapter 77 - 77: The Enemy Who Became An Ally

Since his only ability was to establish Mind Sync between all Red Guild Members present there, he wasn’t fighting. He didn’t have the ability either. Instead, he was watching both the fights going on.

That’s when the Armored Gorilla’s feet smashed on the ground, bringing what seemed like an earthquake within a specific range.

The earthquake made the Red Guild members lose their balance. Even half the dungeon monsters were affected by the earthquake. Saele, who had just found out the Armored Gorilla’s weakness, was about to fire his Water Bullets to kill the Armored Gorilla when he lost his balance.

His aim was disturbed, and the barrage of bullets that were about to hit the Armored Gorilla struck the Skeleton soldiers, destroying their bodies.

After regaining his balance, he again decided to aim; however, it seemed too late.

The Armored Gorilla was too close to him, and his fist was coming towards Saele’s face to crush him.

Finding it too late, Saele closed his eyes as if giving up. The death he was expecting didn’t come, though. What arrived was a powerful thumping sound.

Opening his eyes, he saw a semi-transparent barrier around him. The barrier was protecting him from being crushed.

Looking back, he saw Weston.

"Take aim! At the count of three, I will remove the barrier! You need to kill him instantly!" Weston gave the message to Saele, who had a grateful smile on his face as if thanking Weston without any words.

"3... 2... 1."

At the count of three, Weston did as he said. He removed the barrier. The three seconds was enough for Saele to aim.

As soon as the semi-transparent barrier disappeared, a barrage of deep blue bullets made of water came out of Saele’s hands, zooming towards the top of the Armored Gorilla’s neck.

The Armored Gorilla’s hands were up in the air as he was about to smash again, but that’s when the semi-transparent barrier disappeared. In the blink of an eye, multiple bullets penetrated the neck of the armored Gorilla.

The Armored Gorilla’s hands were already in a downward motion when the bullets entered its neck. The hands were about to hit Saele, but Saele didn’t look scared this time. The semi-Transparent barrier once again appeared around Saele, protecting him from the last assault of the Armored Gorilla.

The Armored Gorilla crashed on his knees as his hand slid down the surface of the barrier. Its eye closed as it fell on the ground, finally dead.

....

The Armored Gorilla dropped to the ground dead; however, a different Armored Gorilla took over the lead to attack Saele. It was accompanied by the Silver Tigers, who surrounded Saele with the only level of defense protecting him being the barrier that was being provided by Weston.

As Weston was occupied with protecting Saele, the other Red Eagle Guild members were without protection.

"Weston! We need to be in perfect Sync. Remove the barrier only from the spots I tell! We need to take them one by one. However, I can’t do it without you protecting me from the rest of the attacks!" Saele commanded Weston, who nodded in acknowledgment.

"I need protection! The Skeleton Soldiers are coming towards me! I can only protect one person with my barrier at a time! Saele needs my barriers urgently! Give me back up!" Weston called out, noticing a group of skeleton soldiers coming towards him with their swords.

He knew that if they got close, he would need to take off the protection from Saele to be able to protect himself, which effectively meant that Saele would die. To not land in such a situation, he proactively called out for help from other members.

....

Lucifer had stood up, holding his bloodied chest. His burnt skin was recovering at speed visible to eyes.

He watched the Two-Orbed Monster flying towards him again.

"Not again!" Lucifer muttered grimly as he raised his hand, aiming towards the Two-Orbed Monster.

A lightning bolt left from his hand, zooming towards the Monster who was flying towards him.

The bolt consisting of dark lightning hit the Two-Orbed Monster, creating another powerful explosion.

The explosion this time had the same level of intensity as last time. In fact, amplified by lightning, it looked even more incredulous as dark lightning flickered through the raging hot flames.

The Orb Monster again came out from the flames, flying towards Lucifer, only having a single orb this time.

"So he can create three explosions and simultaneously have three lives. Doesn’t matter. I will kill them as many times as I need. I might even use them for my own benefit."

" An explosion won’t differentiate between who it kills. The Orb Monster might be invulnerable to its own flames, but the monsters around it..." Lucifer acknowledged, looking at the Orb Monster. He fired another lightning bolt, finally killing the beast.

Without taking a rest, he started flying farther from the horde of monsters that were aiming towards him, without turning his back towards them. He found himself to be having an easier time since the Chimera Eagles were busy dealing with the Red Eagle Guild. Most of the long-ranged monsters were fighting against the Red Eagles Guild.

The Chimera Eagle, the Silver Tiger, were fierce long-range attack monsters; however, their groups were battling against the Red Eagles Guild. The only Short-Range monsters there near Red Eagle Guild Members were the Skeleton Soldiers.

The only beast Lucifer was left to deal with was the Spiked Armadillo that could shoot out its spikes. It was the only Monster that wasn’t a short-range monster facing Lucifer; however, it was only classified as a mid-range monster since its spikes could only fly to a range of two meters.

As Lucifer was farther than that, he didn’t need to worry about them. The only other monsters aiming for him were the Tree Monster and the orb-Monsters, none of which were a threat as long as they didn’t reach him.

Taking an aim, Lucifer shot out another bolt as he continued levitating backward.

This time he knew who he wanted to target. The black lightning bolt flew through the air, leaving a dark trail behind it. Wherever the black bolt passed through, it left the unstable space that seemed to be cracking.

The Lightning Bolt struck the Three-Orbed Monster that was flying in the middle of the Tree Monsters, creating a large explosion. The flames spread everywhere, taking the seven-foot-tall tree monsters in its grip.

Being made of Dungeon wood, the tree Monsters were weak against flames, let alone the intense flames that were even more intense than normal fire.

As soon as the explosion occurred, it caught four Tree Monsters in its range. The Tree Monsters started screeching as a sharp painful noise filled the entire area.

The Tree Monsters started burning and moving back and forth, hitting the other burning tree monsters around them.

The screech of the tree monsters was hurting Lucifer’s head, which was already aching. He was feeling like a drum was beating inside his head.

Ignoring the headache, he took another aim, targeting a different Three-orbed Monster. He was starting to find the three-orb monsters as his allies instead of his enemies since he was able to kill multiple enemies with one lightning bolt using the explosion.

....

While explosions were taking place in a different portion of the field, the Red Eagle Guild was busy dealing with their own problems.

The Sorcerer Weston was providing a barrier to Saele. He looked around for help; however, no one could come to help since Most of the Red Eagle Guild Members were busy fighting for their own lives.

As the Skeleton Soldier reached near Weston, he clenched his fist.

"I’m sorry, Saele, but I need to protect myself. The barrier is going to disappear. Get ready," Weston warned Saele as he prepared to remove the barrier from Saele. Watching the swords of the Skeleton Soldiers coming towards him, he took a deep breath.

Smack!

He was just a millisecond away from recalling the barrier when he heard the booming sound of a car engine.

In the next second, he saw an armored vehicle coming from nowhere. The armored vehicle clashed with the Skeleton Soldiers, throwing them away effectively.

Most of the Skeleton Soldiers were broken; however, they could still move. The armored vehicle didn’t stop either. It continued ahead and climbed over the skeletons, crushing them under the heavyweight of the armored vehicle.

The windshield of the car lowered, revealing the person inside.

"Conner?" Weston exclaimed in surprise as he saw the person.

"Hahaha, yeah. So what if I don’t have any fighting abilities? So what if I can only help with Mind Sync with my powers! I can still be of help in other ways," Conner replied as he laughed.

He moved the armored vehicle behind.

"Thanks for saving me," Weston thanked with a grateful smile on his face.

Suddenly noticing something, his face turned pale, but before he could say anything, rays of white light came from the sky, hitting the Armored Vehicle.

"Step out now!" Weston called out; however, it was too late.

The bright rays of light hit the weak spots of the Armored Vehicle, one of which managed to hit its weakest spot.

A spark arrived near the fuel tank of the vehicle, creating a big problem.

Boom!

Before anyone could understand anything, they saw the Armored Vehicle flying into the air, caught in flames.

"Conner!" Weston roared; however, it was too late.

He realized that he couldn’t do anything. If he had managed to create a barrier around Conner on time, he might have been saved. Even though he was already using the barrier to keep Saele safe, he still felt regret that he couldn’t save Conner, who died after saving him.
