Chapter 877: 889.

Chapter 889. Mythical Guild Hero

Cipher Flight's guild soldiers looked up and saw the menacing greatsword that was hovering above them. The gigantic greatsword seemed to be slowly descending, but it suddenly picked up in speed. The guild soldiers below tried to run away from the point of impact, but the greatsword was now speeding like a falling meteor. It left a blazing trail as it cut through the air and pierced the ground.

A massive explosion erupted from the point of impact. The shockwave from the explosion reverberated a few times, covering large distances. Most of those who were unfortunate enough to be within the area of impact were obliterated, while the ones hit by the shockwaves suffered large damage. And it was not just one time, the shockwaves hit repeatedly, generating damage again and again.

Many Cipher Flight's guild soldiers perished from that one single attack.

"Who…?!" Four Winds uttered alarmingly after seeing his disarrayed army.

"Up there!" Purple Mist said while pointing up.

They looked up and saw a small figure wearing a green robe slowly floating down.

When it was close enough for an Inspect, everyone in the range used that auxiliary skill.

"My… Mythical…?" Purple Mist said with disbelief.

"So, that's where you are," Jack, who was a distance away, said after seeing this green figure.

The floating person with a green robe was Nilrem, their mythical-grade hero. Since she was summoned, she had been spending her time inside the Training Hall. She had increased three levels by then. She was now at level 58.

Nilrem looked at the fighting army below with contempt. An ice arrow suddenly flew at her. Abrupt spell formation formed on Nilrem's staff before the arrow hit her. The arrow halted a couple of meters from Nilrem and just stayed still in the air.

'Telekinesis,' Jack thought. He had experienced that spell when he was inside the ancient battleground.

Nilrem flicked her fingers. The ice arrow swiftly turned around before shooting back where it came from. The one that fired the arrow was Cipher Flight's female guild hero, named Kishale Trueaim. She was a level 56 rare elite orc. She fired a few rapid shots. One arrow went to block the ice arrow that returned, another four were heading to Nilrem.

Nilrem flicked her fingers again. The ice arrow that she controlled stopped in its track. It then abruptly zoomed around at incredibly high speed. It broke all five arrows shot by the orcish heroine before resuming its flight path back to Kishale.

With the increased speed, Kishale failed to react fast enough. The arrow was about to hit her, but a shadow swept past and broke the arrow before it did. The shadow was one of the whiskers of the Hellion Panther Kishale was riding on. The Hellion Panther was a level 59 rare elite demon.

The Hellion Panther looked up and roared at Nilrem. Despite being one grade lower, the panther didn't appear intimidated. Its two whiskers with the hooked ends swayed around as it growled menacingly.

Nilrem viewed such antagonism as an affront. She glared at this demonic beast and pointed her staff down. Spell formation again formed. Upon the casting of the spell, a great flood poured forth. The flood washed ahead in a very wide area. As it flowed, the water in the flood turned turbulent. Violent waves washed over as the water formed numerous kelpies galloping over the flood.

These kelpie-riding waves hit the ground, including where the hellion panther was at. A black shell was formed around the panther when the flood hit. It resisted a few waves but the black shell eventually broke. The large panther was knocked back by the force of the waves. The kelpies that were riding the flood battered at the panther's body, delivering damage with each hit.

If even the large hellion panther was unable to resist the wave's force, what's more of the guild soldiers? They were swept away, damage numbers continuously popped up as the kelpies trampled on them.

Nilrem had targeted the mid-section of Cipher Flight's army with her two spells so that she didn't harm friendly allies. Hence, Four Winds and the others at the front were spared from the devastation. But currently, Four Winds looked at what had befallen his soldiers with a grim face. It was not cheap to train those soldiers.

Four Winds made a decision then. He sent a message to Water Lily, "Lily, pull the soldiers out. We are retreating."

Water Lily also saw the dots representing their guild soldiers disappearing en masse on her map projection. She had been struggling with whether she should withdraw the troops, but Four Winds usually insisted to charge forward despite impossible odds. But she guessed the current situation was even more depressing than impossible odds. It was simply too one-sided.

Water Lily started exerting her control over the guild soldiers, having them make a strategic retreat.

Everlasting Heavenly Legends' army wasn't letting them go just like that. They continued harassing the retreating enemies, incurring more casualties as they kept the pressure. Four Winds' team, Kishale, and the hellion panther tried their best to cover the retreating army.

As the retreat continued, a commotion suddenly occurred among the Cipher Flight's army as a regiment of orc native army barged through. In the lead was the warlord, Abasi. His HP had been healed back to full.

"Keep fighting! Keep fighting, you worthless outworlders!!" Abasi roared. The orc native army started clashing with Everlasting Heavenly Legends' army.

Four Winds was hesitant, but Warsong Rising's army did not. They were in debt to Abasi and their leader Phithion, who had been killed in the early clash, had given the order to support the warlord by any means necessary. Hence, Warsong's army came charging back following Abasi's regiment.

The troops the warlord brought over were mostly elite troops with high average levels. Even though Everlasting Heavenly Legends' outnumbered them, they couldn't beat these native troops as easily as the prior two guild armies. With support from Warsong's army, the pressure shifted to Everlasting Heavenly Legends.

Seeing the situation, Four Winds wasn't going to be a coward. He sent a command to Water Lily to have the army returned to the fight. He knew speed would be the key here. With Abasi repositioning a regiment here, the main army would be weakened. They must rout the Everlasting Heavenly Legends' guild troops before the main army was defeated.

Abasi took to the sky with another orc. Jack used his Inspect and found this other orc was named Sogora Windcaller, a level 70 rare elite. They approached Nilrem and started clashing with her. Abasi fought from close range while Sogora attacked from ranged, calling wind energies and tempests to strike Nilrem.

Although Nilrem was one grade higher, the two native orcs were much higher in level. Hence, the battle was somehow balanced. Furthermore, Nilrem was a magical ranged type. She was excellent at decimating a large number of enemies but when she had to deal with melee, she was somewhat hampered.

Jack, Paytowin, and Uruk led the twilight champions and fought against the native army that Abasi brought. Blood Counts followed closely behind, sneak-killing enemies who were low on health. The Eagle Rider Hunters continued shooting from above. A few special elites flew up to fight the eagle rider hunters but they were too few. The eagle rider hunters continued to rain down arrows unobstructedly.

Even so, Jack and the others knew the key to victory was in the fight between Abasi and Nilrem. Another three rare elite orcs above level 60 took to the sky as well. It seemed that they intended to finish Nilrem before she caused more death tolls to the army.

But before the three could reach Nilrem, a sky-shattering roar was heard. A thick lava beam swept by where the three were. Two managed to fly away from the beam, the last one was struck. It suffered high damage and received burn status. It also lost its flying ability and fell to the ground.

A large figure appeared then. It was Penny, the level 62 mythical-grade lava dragonet. Penny flew at high speed and smacked the two rare elites before flying to where Nilrem was. Its huge claws came clawing at Abasi who countered with a flaming swing. The claw and axe collided and Abasi was thrown away.

Sogora cast a spell and the wind around him formed three thick tornado dragons. The tornado dragons came crashing at Penny, but they were stopped by a runic shield covering the dragonet's body. The dragonet roared as it contended in power with the tornado dragons, refusing to be pushed away.

Nilrem, who saw the reprieve, flew back and down to the ground. She then started casting two spells in succession. The first one was a defensive spell that erected a water curtain around her. When she cast the second spell, a very large rune symbol appeared above her. The second spell was a mega spell!

Abasi knew that it would be a disaster if he let Nilrem complete her spell. He left Sogora to deal with the lava dragonet while he flew towards Nilrem. Despite it being a mega spell, Nilrem was casting it swiftly. There was no time to waste!
