Chapter 398 - Resolve
The two fighters felt a chill down their spine when their eyes met. However, they still hadn't realized that the human before them was nothing but a monster.
"Lady?!" The fighter called her again, albeit got no response.
"I'm sorry if I offend you, but I need to get you out of here." The other fighter decided to take action because the monsters were already near them.
Unfortunately, that was the biggest mistake he could make as the female suddenly leaped forward, waving her hands from the side.
Four crescent-shaped red lights flashed.
Luckily, the fighter was still an elite among Level 300 fighters. He somehow managed to pull his sword to stop these lights, albeit he got launched into the air, landing with his body and rolling a few times on the ground.
"Wha—" The other fighter widened his eyes and raised his weapon, alarmed.
Alea's voice started echoing in their ears as she came forward to warn them herself. "Watch out. She is a monster, not a human."
When the other fighter heard it, he raised his sword, intercepting another attack from the woman. That timely warning made his body react faster, blocking her hand with his sword completely.
"Her fingers are not cut?" The fighter gasped and confirmed that the female in front of her wasn't a human.
He leaped backward while warning his comrade. "Quickly escape. We are regrouping with the rest."
The fighter, who was blown away earlier, rose from the ground and checked her again with his Skylink, confirming it as a Mutated Chimera Wolf, the monster they wanted to avoid with the new route.
"What is happening?" He shouted and started running.
Seeing the others had returned, Alea also began to fall back while shouting, "We need to get away from here."
The two fighters nodded and ran away while keeping an eye on the female that somehow stopped moving after that attack.
Behind her, numerous wolves with different forms chased after them. There were half-human, half-horse, and many other forms.
However, Theo would be surprised if he heard what came out of Alea's mouth next.
"It's really an assassination attempt. I guess it's good that I am prepared for it." Alea sighed, remembering the last thing she decided to trust other people despite Theo's warning. Theo was almost framed by another person.
At that time, she swore to not repeat her mistake, so she made another preparation for this.
She returned to the group and said, "We will fall back."
"Understood." All of them acknowledged her orders and began to look at the huge cloud of dust approaching them.
Xavier frowned and shouted, "They are faster than us. They will catch up soon."
"Magicians! Get on top of the cubicars and hit them with your skills to buy us some time. Knights and fighters prepare to intercept them. The rest will match our movement." Alea commanded while looking back, watching them coming closer.
The magicians started going to their position and released their attacks.
"Electrical Net."
"Blazing Powder."
…
…
Numerous skills flew at the same time, but when they were about to reach the pack, ten Mutated Chimera Wolves jumped into the air. All of them had taken half-human form with their limbs still maintained their original form.
All those Chimera Wolves formed a screen in various colors and received the attacks simultaneously.
"What?!" The magicians were surprised by their interception. Meanwhile, Xavier shouted while glaring at Theo. "Where are you going?"
"I have told you, right?" Theo snorted and looked at him coldly. Seeing Xavier's agitated expression only reinforced his suspicion of this whole anomaly.
"We are still not at a disadvantage. There is still a chance." Xavier shouted to make others notice what Theo planned to do. He wouldn't dare to escape that easily. After all, if the group survived, his reputation would be hit.
Understanding what he planned, Theo shrugged and summoned his clone. Both he and his clone summoned their Magic Bullets and cloned them with his Illusion Multiplier.
Because the Magic Bullets had become a B Rank Skill, Theo managed to summon a total of 160 Magic Bullets.
"!!!" Agata was surprised because the Magic Bullets were double in number from the one that suppressed them in the competition.
The Magic Bullets flew to the sky and started falling down, creating parabolic trails in the air.
Due to the number of the Magic Bullets, the Chimera Wolves panicked, not knowing what to do to withstand that number of attacks.
Around thirty of them leaped to the sky to take the hit, but they obviously couldn't get them all.
Some of the real bullets flew past them and hit the Chimera Wolves on the ground, injuring them and knocking them down to the ground.
This created a certain commotion among the Chimera Wolves as they barely avoided those who fell.
"What?!" The Magicians were surprised and realized Theo utilized their number against them. Instead of giving a powerful blow, Theo just wanted to buy time with his numbers that knocked them down.
However, another unexpected thing appeared as a whistle suddenly filled their ears. Another group just arrived on the battlefield.
All fifteen of them wore a white uniform with two swords on their chest.
"Eilric Family's Battlefront Group S is requesting to join the fight!" A middle-aged man stepped forward and shouted, making their presence known.
"!!!" Alea's group looked at their location while Alea smiled. "Turn around! We are fighting them back. They are our reinforcement and their number is fifteen people with two Supreme Rank Experts among them!"
"What? There are Supreme Rank Experts?"
"The wolves are only level 320, so we may be able to do this even with our number."
"Turn around and attack!" Alea commanded out loud while smiling and saying inwardly, "Theo, I know you never play with lives. Look at me! This time, I will show you that I have changed. I will show you that I can save all of them and stop all the plots while still listening to your warning. If my Eilric Family makes their appearance, the group that aims at you won't dare because they may still be tailing us. I will show you that everything can be resolved peacefully, not by killing. This is…
… My resolve."
