"Looks like Luhei, Cecile, and Rudy are already there to help the soldiers."
Resting his gaze upon the tablet on the table, Kevin uttered with a calm tone to the person who sat across him. After she heard his words, the person nodded her head and asked, "Are they gonna be fine?"
"Absolutely," he replied immediately as he turned his head. A smile formed on his face, he continued, "Especially since the number of the enemies were much less than what we had anticipated. You will be safe, Elizabeth."
Instead of showing a relieved expression, Elizabeth narrowed her eyes to the monitor and inquired, "How about the loss of the soldiers?"
"Hard to say, but it's roughly dozens, including the captains of their team," This time
Outside of the base.Bullets whistled in the air as multiple deafening eruptions echoed throughout the once tranquil night. Stench of iron drifted in the air and soldiers scattered around the place, taking cover with some of them having their guts spilled open, holes on part of their bodies, or even cuts and bruises when trying to cling to dear life.Dying screams filled the place while shout of orders curses flowed with no sign of stopping. Their marching opponents already hid themselves in good locations, bringing more challenge than the soldiers had expected. Even though more attention and reinforcements were directed to this battlefield, the pressure from their enemies was anything but becoming lighter. In fact, it was almost mind boggling as some of them realized how their comrades in arms were dying in droves just as fast
Dodging another swipe of the giant claw, the giant maw took a deep breath before it opened and breathed a sea of flames directed at him. In the next second, his figure blurred and he immediately avoided the fire breath entirely. Yet, as his figure appeared once more, a lot of sweat flowed from his forehead and the tip of his fingers shook slightly.'Not good…'When he moved his eyes back to the scarlet dragon, tens of crystal spears hovered in the air around it before they bombarded it at the same time. Clanking noises ensued and countless emerged through the downpour. Besides covering for both of its eyes, it only growled angrily as it weathered the assaults in ease.After that, his head turned to another direction and now he saw the scene of their enemy
The man's countenance turned ugly while he tried to leap to the side and swing his sword to the empty air. His abrupt change of movement and stance was well executed. After all, it didn't take even a second after the voice faded before the man reacted accordingly.Still, he was a step too late, a sword more swifter than his already parried blade to the side and aimed to his neck. The figure jumped out of the ground, where the shade of the building was gathered in a wide area. Even though the surprise attack of the new figure almost succeeded to claim the man's life, a flash of blinding light ensued and foiled his actions completely.A barrier of silver, seemingly thicker than any barriers Kevin had seen from those wizards, was formed faster than the speed of sound. A loud clunk followed and to the man's surprise, a crack
Subconsciously, her hands were about to reach his neck and let herself go deeper into his embrace. Yet, the bloodstain at the corner of his lips and nose made her realize that he must have suffered some sort of injury. By the time she pondered this notion, she noticed the slight trembling from his hands that touched her waist, as if they were struggling to not make it apparent to her."Kevin… are you alright?" a genuine worried expression formed on her face as she quickly separated to not let him lift her much longer. Meanwhile, Kevin could only smile sheepishly at that question without giving her any answers. Letting out a heavy breath, he frowned while his muscles twitched in pain. Nevertheless, he gritted his teeth and shifted his attention to Kankei, who was glaring daggers at him for foiling his strike.Before
"Are they going to be fine?"Walking beside Leonard and a girl that was as tall as her, with pigtails hairstyle, and white dress, Elizabeth asked with concern. Without turning her head, the girl who introduced herself as Violet back in the Esper's lounge, now smiling confidently and spoke,"It's true that things get a little out of hand. But considering his powerful captain is, he probably took out their leader in no time and then targeted the rest of the terrorists next."Hearing Violet uttered with such confidence, Elizabeth shifted her head forward and tried to dismiss her worry. She had seen how Kevin fared before she had time to evacuate since things became dicey. Although he couldn't deal with the wizard in a short time, he almost had the wizard if not for the do
Although the azure steel blade before him weighed almost five tons, Aaron still blocked it completely. A few moments later, his crystallized sword showed signs of cracks before he had tried to swat the azure blade away."Aaron…"Hearing she's called out to him had prompted him to turn his head and gazed upon her straightforward eyes. Before he could utter a reply, however, he felt a danger coming from his back and split his body into countless bats scattered around the place. Still, the blade managed to skewer three of the bats and flicked them to the ground.Appearing right beside Elizabeth, Aaron fixated his eyes onto the creature whilst he said in a grim voice, "You've become famous over the last few days in this world and weeks in another, dear friend.
When the sharp steel brushed through his cheek, the scarlet sword on his hand struck right at the demon's neck, bringing forth superhuman force behind it and destroying half of its throat. Instead of showing any reactions, the demon pursued further with five metallic limbs sprouting from its back.Most of the strikes were parried by Aaron whilst he observed the movements of his foe. Despite both being in deadlock for a while, deep down, Aaron realized that in an endurance battle, even he would lose to this artificial demon.'But it won't take that long.'As his eyes glowed brighter than before, his pace doubled in the blink of an eye, to the point not even the demon could follow. Dozens of slashes and heavy blows were sent to its metallic body, causing it to open its m
Outside of the military base.The once tranquil night descended upon the spacious field which was filled with littered corpses and blackened holes. The moon had already moved to the far horizon as some of the stars twinkled for the last time before they faded into the dark sky. Though flames flickered everywhere whilst groans of pain became the flowing hymn of the once bloodied fight, most of the casualties were inflicted to the mercenaries."...This is crazy."A mutter was uttered by a lone soldier while he stood amidst the battlefield. Some of his comrades were trying to detain the surviving enemies lying on the ground. His task was no different than them but for quite a while, he could only heaps of corpses rather than heavily injured combatants.
