Chapter 137: 148 Fight To Escape The Mine

As the rumbling within the mine grew louder and louder, the massive swarm of acid lizards was soon visible, and Marcus instinctually gulped seeing how many there were.

There were easily several hundred lizards all of which were coming for them approaching like tidal wave.

In the face of the overwhelming tide of monster lizards, some of the Eternal Queens even began to lose their focus until Bridget yelled, "Get into formation, we will use the natural chock point of the cave's entrance to fight them off. There may be a lot of them but if we work together properly, we can repel them."

With Bridget's command the members of the Eternal Queens came back to their senses and moved into their best defensive formation, with Marcus adding himself into the middle so that he could act as both front line, back line, and support as necessary.

Starting off with a barrage of ranged spells, Marcus rapid fired out darkness bullets which easily pieced through a lizard with each attack, while Branna was using her earth magic to fire off earth spears, and Rekia cast her tier three flower storm spell which blinded and confused the approaching lizards causing even a few of them to attack each other.

Unfortunately, even with as powerful as all of their magic spells were, the sheer mass of lizards even while they were dying by the dozens were still pushing through.

Atalie clinking her tongue, pulled out a special arrow she really did not want to use, and let it fly loose.

The arrow shooting through the middle of the tunnel not hitting any of the acid lizards that were crawling along the floor, walls, and ceiling, stopped when it had flown one-hundred-sixty feet and exploded letting out a deafening sound.

The sound explosion from the sonic arrow actually blew up the closest acid Lizards turning them into puddles of viscera and as the sound continued it killed every lizard within sixty feet, while those within around a hundred feet all had their eardrums burst open and begin bleeding.

The tide of lizards now momentarily stopped was quite impressive, and everyone gave a brief look of surprise at Atalie before she said, "No time to gawk, I only had one of those and it will not be long before they regroup."

Everyone hearing this understood that this was a one-time attack and the mages including Marcus began chanting some of their stronger spells preparing for the ongoing battle.

Ten minutes passed by as the Eternal Queens and Marcus continued to defend the chock point of the cave they were in.

At this point they had already killed over a thousand acid lizards, but the swarm seemed to show no signs of stopping and to put the nail in the coffin four much larger lizards suddenly appeared each of them being around twelve feet long.

Curiosity taking hold of him, Marcus quickly used his appraisal skill, finding that two of them were level thirty-four, one was level thirty-three, and the final one was level thirty-six.

Luckily these four had not yet joined the battle and were just watching as if they were merely spectators enjoying the show.

'Fuck at this rate we are going to lose, if I did not have to feign chanting this would be much easier, but I do not want to reveal I am a monster if I do not have to.'

Seeing that the battle would soon take a turn for the worse if this continued, as many of the members of Eternal Queens had slight acid burns and small laceration all of their bodies especially the frontliners, Marcus decided he needed to take drastic measures.

"I need one minute if you can hold out for that long I can turn the tables."

Everyone hearing this with really no other choice gritted their teeth and dug in, ready to defend without Marcus' help for one minute.

Moving to the back and starting his chant immediately, Marcus started at the lizards that continued to try and break through, ready to give in and reveal himself as a monster if things began taking a turn for the worst.

Chanting with all of his focus Marcus watched as the Eternal Queens were slowly being beaten back as Bridget and Yrsa who were defending the best they could, were being covered in acid burns.

Steeling himself, Marcus resisted the urge to cast the spell early and watched as the Eternal Queens used all they had left to by time for him.

After the longest minute Marcus had ever experienced in either of his two lives, he finally finished the chant for his tier five iron magic spell.

"Iron Wings of the Archangel."

As his spell finished casting, nearly all of Marcus' mana vanished as six, eight-foot-long wings made up of iron feather appeared behind Marcus, each one radiating immense power.

'Embodiment of Light.'

Activating his unique skill and covering his body in blinding light, Marcus began flapping his wings and iron feathers clad in light began falling off of the wings.

However, instead of falling to the ground the feathers stayed floating until shooting forward like shining missiles.

The feathers passed by the nearly beaten Eternal Queens and began slicing through the horde of acid lizards.

Each feather killed one lizards before flying onto the next, finding no resistance as they impaled and cut a lizard with each move.

Marcus with incredible focus was controlling nearly a hundred feather having them move around like a swarm of bees killing hundreds of lower leveled lizards every few seconds.

Alas, when most of the other lizards had died, the four apex acid lizards decided to no longer be spectators, and each blew a large spray of acid that blasted forwards like a fire hose.

The acid coming right for the Eternal Queens and Marcus, forced Marcus to suspend his attack as he brought back all of his iron feathers and used them to crate a wall that blocked the acid.

Unfortunately, even as strong as the feather created from his tier five spell were, the sheer quantity of acid melted through most of them, before Marcus' iron feathers managed to stop the acid sprays.

Looking out at the four high level acid lizards Marcus said to the Eternal Queens.

"When I charge forward and engage those four lizards, I want all of you to make a break for it, I will hold them off while you retreat. We have no idea how long we have before reinforcements might arrive so this might be your only chance to escape."

However, all of the Eternal Queens simply shook their heads and with resolute look Bridget said, "We will fight them together, you may be strong but we you cannot do everything alone."

"Yeah, we have already made it through all of this together, so we are not going to leave until we see this through with you." Jesnay said with a bright smile.

Sighing Marcus said, "Fine but wait to attack until I have all of their attention. I can hold all of them off for at least a bit, make sure to strike when the time is right."

With everyone nodding their heads, Marcus stared at the four lizards that were keeping their distance and shot forward using his enhanced speed to rush at them.

Running along the tunnel like a blur of light, Marcus approached the first lizard within just a few seconds swinging his scythe towards its head.

"CLANG."

Marcus' scythe clashed against the blade arms of the strongest lizard that had moved to protect the one Marcus had attacked, while the other two shoot large balls of acid towards him.

Flipping back using his incredible agility, Marcus twisted his body managing to dodge the majority of the acid, though a few splashes still connected against him.

Feeling his skin singed in a few places, Marcus gritted his teeth and began swinging his scythe around in wild arcs, making sure to move around flashily and keeping all of the lizards attention on himself.

With the lizards focus trained on Marcus who they viewed as the greatest threat, they were caught by surprise when one of the lizards that had been firing balls of acid at Marcus, suddenly was assaulted by a number of projectiles.

A freezing bolt, a lightning arrow, and a number of wooden pikes stabbed into one of the level thirty-four lizards causing it to let out a pained screech.

The other lizards seeing one of their own being severely injured turned back to look at the Eternal Queens who were rushing into the fray.

The other level thirty- four lizard let out and intimidating screech before running along the wall towards them intent on killing them all.

However, with two of the lizards that he had been fighting no longer on him, Marcus was able to gain some ground in his fight against the strongest and weakest of the apex acid lizards.

Expertly maneuvering around the battlefield, Marcus was keeping the two acid lizards on their toes as he would often feint attacks at one lizards before moving his scythe towards the other.

As the battle continued Marcus purposefully left his back exposed to the weaker of the two acid lizards, and the lizard seeing to opening lunged towards Marcus.

Unfortunately, for this lizard Marcus had been waiting for this and turned around his left index finger beginning to glow brighter.

"Laser."

Casting his tier four light magic spell, Marcus caught the lower-level lizard off guard and cut it right down the middle with a deadly beam of light killing one of the two lizards he had been fighting.

The remaining lizard jumped back as Marcus swung the laser blasting out of his finger around, narrowly dodging the powerful spell.

The last bit of power from the spell flickered out leaving Marcus with only the one opponent to deal with had to deal with.

However, after casting his laser spell he had exhausted most of his mana, leaving him very little left to fight against the last and strongest acid lizard.
