The war became much more intense as Avron and Vandal started fighting on the surface of Aranhgrad. The collision of the two leaders could be felt anywhere in the three nations. It was a fight between two people at the top.
Aside from them, the executives and Grain Leaders began their all-out battle. They didn't fight on Aranhgrad. Instead, their battlefield was the three nations as no one among them wanted to distract their leaders.
It was chaotic before but now it's worse. The Red Matter Association and the Third Set began to launch a full-scale attack on each other. The most affected people were the citizens, rebels, and the government army. The death counts spiked up in just a few minutes.
"Stay back."
Souta said seriously. Standing behind him were Airi and her two siblings.
In front was a group of seven people. They were all from the Red Matter Association. Luckily, none of them had reached Shackled Realm. They were just a bunch of Solidifying Realm but it was a problem for him since he didn't want to use his energy.
The two sides were observing each other. Even though the Red Matter had an advantage in numbers they still didn't attack immediately. They were cautious of him.
'They didn't underestimate me... It's better if they underestimate me and attack me quickly. That way, I could swiftly kill one or two of them but since they are cautious they wouldn't do that.' Souta said inwardly. He glanced at the children behind him.
"Just stay behind me. I'll tell you what to do later."
The wall was within their sight. Just a few kilometers and they would be able to leave this place. But a problem occurred since Vandal and Avron started their battle. The two organizations became restless and started to fight for real.
So this place got flooded by experts.
Within a radius of five hundred meters, Souta could sense that there were hundreds of people around. Probably close to five hundred and most of them were battling.
They could even feel vibrations in the air from the position. It made the three children shiver in fear and if not for Airi's will to protect her siblings, she would have collapsed on the ground.
Part of it was thanks to the red-grade robe but still... She was doing a great job by holding herself from collapsing.
Hmm?
Souta suddenly turned around and threw a punch at the space behind Airi.
Boom!
Airi closed her eyes as Souta's fist passed above her head. She hugged her siblings tightly as the force behind the punch pushed her three meters away.
Souta's fist landed on something in that blank space. A figure was blasted away before crashing into several houses.
"Stealth? It's not going to work if I'm your opponent."
Souta said as he turned around looking at the six remaining people. They were not moving at all even though he just blasted one of their comrades.
Airi quickly stood up and then she heard Souta's voice.
"Run!"
She didn't even look back. She just ran forward with her siblings. She was scared so she closed her eyes. The six enemies were in front of her and she thought that she wouldn't be able to run if she looked at them.
Souta pulled out the vajra sword from its sheath. Then, he slightly bent his knees before he charged ahead.
Swoosh!
"Here it comes."
One of the six enemies said. They prepared themselves as they quickly got into position. The mage and healer of the group jumped onto the rooftop of the houses.
The man in front of the group took out a marble from his pocket and it turned into a huge shield. Then, the three people beside him brandished their weapons.
Souta arrived a meter away from them. He raised his sword above his head and the enemies prepared to receive his attack but he stopped.
"What?!" The shielder of the group was surprised.
In the next moment, they saw strings of flesh come out of Souta's left hand. The flesh grew longer and it swiped them out.
Boom!!
Their figures crashed on the nearby buildings.
Hmm?
Souta was about to follow up when the mage launched sharp winds at him. He raised his sword and slashed each one of the sharp winds.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Suddenly he crouched down and a dagger passed above his head. Souta glanced behind him and saw that it was the person that hid using stealth before.
He quickly lifted his feet and kicked the man on his knee.
Ugh!
The man lost his balance as he felt pain in his knees. He narrowed his knees when a fist landed on his face.
Argh!
Blood spurted out from his mouth and before he could regain his footing, Souta kicked him in the stomach.
Bang!
His body flew like a cannon and crashed into several houses.
Souta actually didn't want to kick the man. He wanted to finish him with his sword but someone interrupted him. So he raised his sword to block an attack before he kicked the man.
He took a glance at the three children and saw that they were far away. He lifted his right foot and kicked the man in the knees before he swung his sword.
Bang!
Souta turned around and chased after Airi. He couldn't leave her alone as the entire area was a battlefield. Even right now, fifteen people were fighting just forty meters away from her right.
Swoosh!
"He's running away! Follow him!"
The people from Red Matter said. They got up from their position and chased after him.
Souta glanced and saw seven people following him. He looked around before he took a deep breath. Fighting seven Solidifying Realm with his physical strength alone was hard.
He's even holding back his strength. His punch alone could generate a powerful gust of wind and it would affect three children. Especially, if he throws a punch with all of his strength.
It was too dangerous for them. The difference in strength was huge so they were the most affected if powerhouses fought.
"Just keep on running! Once you pass through the walls, you will see my fellow warriors there! They will protect you and guide you to the other survivors!"
Souta shouted. He wanted to ask for some help. There were warriors around fighting the Red Matter around but if he shouted there was a chance that the enemy would gather here.
He hasn't even mastered the monster language to the point that he could accurately choose who could understand his intent with these many people. It's not a problem if there were only five or seven and among those people, he could choose two people to pass his intent.
But he was on a battlefield. He couldn't accurately choose his target.
Souta stopped moving and the seven people also stopped in their tracks twenty meters away from them.
"This is a problem. These people aren't even hiding their aura so they attracted other people here." He muttered to himself. Suddenly, he grinned before he continued to run. "Hahaha, you think I will fight you!"
Just wait until he secures the safety of the children. At that time, he would demolish them with overwhelming power.
Swoosh!
Souta suddenly swung his sword and cut down the incoming ice spike. He turned his head and saw people from Red Matter on his left side flying in his direction.
"Just like what I expected but it didn't only attract the people from your side. Your energy also attracted the warriors from my side." He said with a smile on his face.
On his right side, several warriors were dashing on the rooftop of the houses. They were here to fight enemies and helped if they had some allies here.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
The three groups continued to move towards Souta's position. The closest group to him was the one behind him.
"Just a little bit more."
Souta said in a low voice. The enemies were throwing various spells and he moved his body swiftly to block all these attacks. If one of these spells passed through him it would endanger the lives of the children.
"Ehe~ throw everything!"
He swung the vajra sword repeatedly and the spells exploded before it could even reach him.
He actually wanted to carry the children before but Saya said that he shouldn't do that. The excess best feram on his skin would only harm their bodies if they were having contact for several minutes.
He realized that once he reached higher levels, he wouldn't be able to approach creatures at lower levels. Just his presence alone would be enough to kill those people. Unless he reached a mastery to the point that he could erase his presence and energy.
Gods and Monster Lords were at that level.
Swoosh!!
Airi was giving her best. She arrived in front of the huge walls as she looked left and right.
"There!"
She exclaimed when she saw the gate. Finally, she would be able to escape this place.
Boom!!
A loud explosion occurred. The aftershocks of the explosions threw her and her siblings into the walls.
Ugh! It hurts!
She felt intense pain in her body. Several bones of her must be broken from that impact.
Ugh!
She coughed a mouthful of blood before turning her head. She saw a huge ball of fire above the streets. It was as big as ten two-story houses.
