Chapter 358: 358:Defend The Walls[II]



The situation that had just been brought under control became chaotic once again. The earthquake rumbled again, everything making the scene quite chaotic.

As the soldiers began to regain control, the ground beneath them trembled violently. The quake struck with a fury that shattered the established order they had fought so hard to maintain. The earth rumbled and cracked, sending debris of smoke cascading through the air and disrupting the soldiers' coordinated defense.

Cameron, Thane, and Peter fought to maintain their footing amidst the chaos. Cameron's laser blade cut through the air, deflecting the trail of dirt screen and slicing through any creature that came too close. He glanced around, trying to stay steady as the ground buckled beneath him.

Thane, using his blade with practiced precision, swung in wide arcs, keeping the monsters at bay as they took advantage of the earthquake's disruption. He grunted with effort as his movements staggered by the tremors but still effective in protecting his comrades.

Peter, struggling to stay upright, focused on the creatures advancing through the crumbling landscape. He used his blade to create a barrier of light, pushing back the monsters that surged forward in the confusion. His eyes darted around, making quick adjustments as the ground shook violently.

The monsters, sensing the chaos and disarray, pressed their attack with continued aggression. They used the quake to their advantage, emerging from fissures and attacking from unexpected angles. The soldiers were forced to adapt, fighting with everything they had to counter the increased onslaught.

Despite their efforts, the quake caused cracks to form in their defenses. Monsters slipped through gaps and broke past the soldiers' lines. Cameron, Thane, and Peter fought with desperation, their movements becoming more frantic as they struggled to keep the creatures at bay and protect their comrades from the collapsing environment.

With each tremor, the battlefield seemed to shift beneath them, turning their fight for survival into an even greater struggle against the relentless forces of both nature and

monster.

Just when they thought it was going to be a game over, that's when they heard.

As Cameron, Thane, and Peter were about to be overwhelmed, a chilling silence fell over the battlefield. Amidst the rumbling of the quake and the roar of the monsters, a familiar yet sinister voice echoed through the chaos. It was a voice that thought they would never hear again.

The ground trembled as a deep, resonant bell began to toll. The sound cut through the upheaval like a blade, each ring a piercing reminder of past battles.

It was a sound that once signaled both their greatest hope and their deepest dread. To them, it symbolised a powerful force that could turn the tide yet to their enemies, it was a clear warning of impending doom like ringing of death bell.

The bell's tolling grew louder and more insistent, each chime reverberating through their bones. The monsters faltered, their grotesque forms casting uneasy glances as the ominous sound filled the air. Fear swept through the creatures, disrupting their relentless assault. It was as if time had stopped for a moment, allowing them to catch their breath and steel themselves for what was to come. The voice followed, commanding and authoritative.

"My fellow ghosts.Its time to wake up from slumber and extend a hand to the friends of the past."

"AWAKEN!"

SWOOSH!

The word echoed through the chaotic battlefield.

An indistinguishable non tangible pressure seemed to sweep through everything around them.

The battlefield churned with dark, coagulating masses rising from the ground, morphing into razor-sharp weapons that cleaved through the monstrous horde.

"Khummmm! Yeah!"

A female Orc leaped onto the slimy masses, tearing them with savage strength before hurling their remains aside. Behind her, a brutal battalion of Orcs clashed their shields against the creatures, grinding them into pulp, but recoiled as the resilient masses continued to writhe. Their fury was palpable, their roars echoing through the chaos.

Some Orcs gathered the sludge into a writhing ball, heaving it away like a meteor that crashed below with devastating force. Others, consumed by rage, tore into the monsters with their massive jaws, causing the creatures to tremble and convulse.

The horrific scene forced the creatures to coalesce, attempting to evade the brutal Orcs. However, a rain of weapons cut through the air, slicing the monsters into tiny, quivering fragments.

"Hehehehe!I haven't fought for so long...It is time to show the Master some new moves of Hella."

A sinister eerie laughter broke out, and from the mass of dark gas from which a mature female figure Hella materialised.

Raising her hand, she cast her mind attack. First, she's gonna cripple them and then use them to kill their own kind.

Such a fun thing to do.

Thinking about her Master's expression as he praises her by patting her shoulder, made her body quiver in excitement.

"Let's begin..."

SWOOSH!

A wave of mind-numbing attack reflected from her body radiating in a cycle that hit the monster. Hella made sure not to harm the humans and earn her master's irk.

She expected the chaotic scene of the monster crawling under her and screaming in pain but.... [Hey, Hella snap out of your dream.]

"Huh!"Hella tilted her head only to see the monster fighting around like previously.

"WHAT!"

In the spur of disbelief, she cast her attack again but just like previously there wasn't any

effect.

"What...What is going on?"Hella's eyes widened and her mind became blank for a moment, unable to understand what's going on.

Just then, she heard a loud mocking sound.

[Do you think they even have a brain for you to control. These are too low life to control.]

Hella just stood frozen as she watched Avelin and Terpas bypass her and steal the show,

making her scream.

"FUCK!"

....

Avelin and Terpas surged forward, leading their troops in a relentless assault against the beasts. Driven by shame from previous failures, they poured every ounce of effort into redeeming themselves and earning back their liege's trust.

Avelin knew that mere punches would not suffice; he had honed his skill with an axe, poised to

carve a path through their adversaries with ruthless precision.

Avelin's axe cut through the slimy masses with accuracy and his each swing seemed like a calculated arc of destruction.

He moved with a madman amidst the chaos, dodging tendrils and striking with ruthless efficiency. The monsters quivered and split under his relentless assault, their grotesque forms unable to withstand his onslaught.

With each slash, Avelin carved a path through the writhing horde, leaving a trail of shattered flesh and splattered slime in his wake. His movements blasted everything in the path as he drove deeper into the heart of the enemy's ranks.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

The air filled with the clang of metal meeting flesh, punctuated by the sickening squelch of his axe embedding itself into the monsters' bodies.

It was a crucial battle for him as he fought not just for survival, but to reclaim his honour and prove himself once more..

"I will wipe you from the face of the world, you foul creatures!" Avelin's voice rang out above the clash of battle, his words a vow of determination.

The monsters quivered and split under his relentless assault, their grotesque forms unable to withstand his onslaught. With each slash, Avelin carved a path through the writhing horde, leaving a trail of shattered flesh and splattered slime in his wake.

....

From afar, Leon stood there leisurely with his hands in his pockets with a satisfied expression.

Mac didn't knew when this guy appeared right beside him but he wasn't surprised.

'It's great to have slav...I mean an army.."

"Leon!"

Snapping out of his thoughts, Leon rotated his head towards Mac who gave a smile.

"No need for greetings sir. I am just..."

"I wasn't saying that."Mac cut off Leon's speech while taking a whiff of his cigar.

Leon's expression and his lips twitched.

'His personality had become sharper than previously.'

"I asking you to order your ghosts to protect the humans. The skitters are hiding away and

moving away to hide around and attack the monster. They can't be killed by cutting and

slashing..."

"You need laser blades to kill them.."

"Huh!"Leon squinted his eyes while processing Mac words.

It was only then he noticed a subtle anomaly he ignored before.

When cut, the small masses of smile monsters crawled and hide.After a few moments they

started growing.

Leon rubbed his eyes wondering if he was dreaming, and in the next moment, he screamed.

"Fuck!Doesn't that mean these bastards are multiplying."

"Why do you think we are using laser guns and laser swords to fight instead of dealing with

them with simple weapons and saving resources.Simply because lasers burn and vaporise

them."

He understood something. The laser blast would just blow up and slicing them with laser swords until nothing remains was indeed ineffective.

The missiles that were fired earlier with loud blasts would vaporise everything.

Leon nodded, taking a deep breath and communicated in his mind.
