Chapter 168: Chapter 167

Chapter 167

It was but a small and short exchange between two parties, and albeit the fact that the other side was winning, more or less, Esdik’s face showed an ugly expression along with a pale face due to his injuries .

Uyo was in much better condition, however, that didn’t stop the fact that he was hesitant to attack again . The Death Golem had yet to move a single step, and the strange black book was floating next to the Death Golem .

"Sir, what should we do?"

Uyo had to ask again as he was not sure about the situation . Seeing Esdik’s ugly expression and the bit of blood leaking out of his lips, he knew that the previous strike of the Golem was powerful . He suffered a fierce attack too, but his defense was rather good and he managed to react in time or else he would have been in worse case than Esdik .

The black fog’s effect was still present, he tried to push away the dangerous black aura lingering inside his body but it was futile . His speed was halved and anyone could see the difference between the two parties .

"There’s no need to sacrifice ourselves just to cause them trouble, you help the other side and I’ll try to buy some time for some reinforcements to arrive . "

Esdik ordered Uyo then took out a yellow stick from his storage, he injected some Nether Energy into it and threw it in the air . Its effect was instantaneous as it flew two hundred meters in the air and emitted a blinding yellow light that covered the sky . This was a special signal that only needed to be used in emergency situations, only Regiment Commanders and above could have one .

Esdik’s judgment was correct, he knew he couldn’t handle the Death Golem so he called for his allies without hesitation . Now that he calmed down and thought things thoroughly, his previous anger diminished and he no longer was enraged, instead, he became calm as he patiently waited whilst Uyo darted toward the other side .

The Death Golem’s orders were to protect the prisoners in general, but if it was not possible, then its priorities are Sonia and Mary, then Taliya and Alina .

Although it was a Golem, its intelligence was not that low, seeing Uyo make a big turn and dash toward the prisoners, it reacted and moved toward the unconscious Sonia and Mary, who was wielding her axe and defending her friend . Fortunately, only a single Desert Gargoyle managed to reach her, and since she was not as close to the Golem as Taliya was, it was inevitable that some enemies would attack her .

With every wave of her double-handed axe, Mary created many flame tornados that were directed at her enemy, who was stabbing her attack with his spear . Her Lv was only 297, compared to her enemy, who was Lv640 and was raised in a harsh environment, the difference in strength between the two of them was just too big .

With but a simple stab, her multiple flame tornados were dispersed easily, Mary didn’t hesitate to enter the [Berserk State] and leaped at Gargoyle, who purposely swung his spear at the unconscious Sonia, who was laying behind Mary .

Coupled with a bestial roar, Mary leaped high in the air and didn’t hesitate to activate her strongest skill [Unbreakable Flame Slash] .

A famous skill on Astria, used by the strongest Beastmen warriors, it is said that in the past, a legendary warrior from the wolf tribe used this skill to defeat a Wind Dragon .

The temperature rose by several degrees and a three-meter-long flaming arc flew toward the gargoyle, who was a bit startled by the potency of the attack . He forcefully stopped his stab mid-way and spun his body to face the sky, then he raised his spear to meet with the arc . The point of the bronze spear shone with a blue light that quickly transformed into a blue beam, which broke the flaming arc in two and headed for Mary’s head .

In such a desperate situation, where she could not dodge as the beam was too fast, Mary could only close her beast .

’At least I managed to buy some time . . . I hope Arthur wakes up b-before he attacks Sonia!’

With that last thought, she firmly closed her eyes and waited for Death to come .

. . . . .

The pain she was expecting never came, only a second passed and she could feel her body falling from mid-air, her jump was quite high but what surprised her is that she isn’t dead .

The first thing she saw when opening her eyes was a book, although a bit ancient looking, it was still a dark book, floating in front of her and coming out of this book, a hand with rotten skin, an unpleasant stench covered the air around it .

The hand grabbed the blue beam and easily absorbed it then it pointed its index toward the unprepared Gargoyle and shot off an exactly similar beam .

Suffering from the same attack as Esdik, the gargoyle was not able to react as the beam of light struck his forehead and sent him flying a few meters away before his body laid on the floor, lifeless .

To suffer from your own strongest attack, unprepared, no one could achieve that unless they have total immunity to that attack .

With one less enemy, the pressure lessened, the four-strong warriors became like raging bulls as they slaughtered twelve other gargoyles, no one of them died, however, they suffered multiple injuries and their simple white clothes were now dyed red but you could notice that their tattoos became brighter the more blood they had on their body .

Swiftly, Uyo joined this side, being the superior one in terms of strength and Realm, it only took him a single swing of his long staff to smash the neck of one of the tall warriors and kill him .

Although he killed him, he couldn’t help but astonished, being at the Deity Realm, he should be able to kill a Mortal with the flick of his finger, but his staff met some resistance when it hit that warrior . Furthermore, seeing their brother die, the three remaining ones became even angrier as they roared loudly and ignored the other gargoyles whilst charging at Uyo, who wasn’t fazed by this and reacted calmly .

’Mortals but wielding the strength of Spirit Realm cultivators . . . . no . . . almost Heavenly Realm?’

He didn’t need an Immortal Sense to gauge their strength, being near them, he could feel their strong bloody aura, even their killing intent reached an extreme intensity .

The three of them leaped at him at the same time, each from a direction, one aimed to grab his legs, the second punched at his chest and the last made a grabbing motion at his neck .

If it was someone at the Spirit Realm or even at the Heavenly Realm, they would have trouble dealing with their combined attacks . Their speed was unsuitable for Mortals and their sheer strength is not something that should be underestimated .

Uyo used his free hand to meet the incoming punch while swinging his staff at his back, without needing to look, as for the one who aimed for his legs, he didn’t physically block him, instead, he used his Nether Energy to conjure an Earth Shield which surrounded all of his body .

Despite being only at the Deity Realm, his whole life was a non-stop train of battles, putting aside his great military achievement, his combat abilities are top notch and it wouldn’t be long before he gets promoted again .

The Shield focused on his legs, despite that fact, the incoming punch and grab were unable to break through it and the two tall and muscular warriors were hit at the same time by Uyo .

The staff smashed into the warrior’s chest, sending him flying high in the air, as for the other one, his hand, which was stopped by the shield, now met with Uyo’s hand, which broke the big hand’s bones, even the shoulder was disclocated, yet the warrior didn’t even emitt a cry of pain, he didn’t even flinch, abandonning his right hand, he used his left to swipe at Uyo’s head but it was totally futile, his leg couldn’t even crack the shield .

Uyo didn’t just watch, when he shattered the warriors hand, he grabbed his staff again and smashed it at the last man, who wanted to grab his legs, the staff smashed into his back, shattering his spine and by the next second, the long staff struck his skull, killing him on the spot .

As Uyo was going to deal with the warrior who didn’t give up and continued kicking his shield, his calm face had a drastic change as a book literally appeared in front of his face and the rotten hand stretched from it and touched his hood .

’Damn!’

The Batallion Commander ignored the warrior and hastily retreated from the stretching hand, however, it was too late as by the time he retreated back, the hand touched his head for a full second . He suffered no injuries whatsoever, but what made him despair and feel terrified is that thirty percent of his Nether Energy reserve disappeared .

’Fearsome! Too fearsome!’

As he cautiously backed away with both of his eyes fixated on the book, Uyo felt an instinctive fear as he couldn’t even see or detect the book, it just popped in front of him from thin air .

’If this book and the Golem are THIS strong, then how about the one who summoned them . ’ Uyo glanced at Arthur, who was still standing in the same position . He wanted to attack him first but he soon abandoned such foolish thoughts, even if he knew Arthur couldn’t respond to his attacks, he just didn’t dare to attack him as there may be traps or perhaps those two strange things would become offensive because he attacked their master .
