Chapter 1019: Fighting Natia

Dodging most of their attacks while killing off the small fries, Nan Tian didn't know how long it had been but his muscles ached from fatigue. There were now only five people left with one of them being Natia.

Judging by her expression, he knew that she was completely furious since a low levelled tier 6 managed to avoid their pursuit and kill off the people she had with her.

He hadn't been able to use any items just yet since the moment he tried to, they'll take that moment to attack him so it was a risk.

Glancing down at his mana, he couldn't help but sigh since he was running empty. Unless he takes a mana potion, he won't be able to fight for long.

"I'll admit, you're tenacious." Natia glared as Nan Tian chuckled.

His mask was half broken so they could see one of his eyes.

"Thank you very much. But I have to attribute it to the fact that you have been taking it easy on me." Nan Tian smiled since he knew that they haven't been using their main skills yet. For a Queen of summoning, most of the monsters she's been summoning had been small fries so he knew that she had something up her sleeve.

The fact that he couldn't sense it worried him.

"Perhaps." Natia smiled as she gave her followers a glance and snapped her fingers.

Suddenly, the four of them disappeared and reappeared near him.

Wanting to not get surrounded, Nan Tian was about to take a step back when one of the guards slammed his knuckles together.

Feeling the desire to attack him, Nan Tian clicked his tongue and knew that it was a taunt skill. Biting the tip of his tongue, he woke himself up in time to duck down and raise his sword to be used as a shield to block their attacks.

Taking this moment to roll to the side while activating the runic guard, he watched as a summoning hex appeared on the floor as a giant stone hand appeared.

*BANG!!!!

Slamming the ground near the attackers and forcing them to step back, the Runic Guardian clawed his way out of the hex and stood menacingly tall. It was mostly constructed of carved stone that had runes etched to the surface. It was 15ft tall with large burly arms that reached past its knees.

Before anyone could react, the Runic Guard disappeared and appeared near Natia and punched towards her.

Widening her eyes, Natia summoned a monster that coiled its body around her but the punch shattered the monster's scales and broke its bones, sending the two of them rocketing towards the empty city.

"I almost forgot that Shiro's strength was crazy for a mage too. Last time I asked, she had 302 million points in strength but that was before the first event." Nan Tian muttered with a smile as he quickly drank a potion.

Unfortunately, despite the Runic Guard having the same stats as Shiro, it wasn't able to use any spells nor did it have any ranged attacks.

It was just a powerful distraction.

However, with Nan Tian's mana back to full, they were a team of attack and defence.

Two of the attacks were now keeping the guard busy while the other two were pushing him back leaving Natia to do whatever she wanted.

Standing up from the corpse of her most recent summon, her expression did not look good as her eyes were filled with wrath.

Clasping her hands together, a giant tier 6 magic circle appeared in the sky as it overshadowed the city.

Looking up in shock, Nan Tian wanted to interfere with the summoning but with two tier 6 guards trying to stop him, it was a little difficult.

He was barely managing to hold his own but he wasn't able to find a chance to escape so he could only watch as a dreadful presence slowly descended towards the city.

Little by little, the summon revealed itself. It had a long serpentine body which was most likely twice perhaps even three times longer than the city when stretched out. Crystalline scales decorated the surface as there were neon blue lights peeking out from the gaps.

Two muscular claws with what seemed to be retractable razors tore open the portal, revealing its full body.

With a draconic head that seemed translucent, revealing its skull, the summon also had a pair of crystal wings where the membrane that helps it fly stretched all the way down its serpentine body.

Looking at the wingspan of this summoning that dwarfed the city, Nan Tian couldn't help but shake his head.

Of course, this didn't mean that he was giving up.

"Let's keep fighting I suppose." He chuckled.

Grabbing the blade with his bare hands, Nan Tian broke the first attacker's guard before flipping over him to avoid the second attacker. Slamming the two into one another, Nan Tian slammed his hands together and activated a tier 6 magic circle above the two.

Suddenly a barrier surrounded them as a tiny orb of light appeared in the centre.

Snapping his fingers, it exploded with all of its energy contained within the barrier, cooking the two alive.

Before the spell could finish, he watched as cracks formed on the barrier.

*PING!!!

Shattering to pieces, Nan Tian quickly dodged the two's attack as their eyes glared at him with anger. Seeing both of them being burned badly but not fatal, Nan Tian couldn't help but sigh.

"Of course it's not this easy." He sighed before activating a berserk skill.

"I think I'll take a page out of her book. I wonder what stacking berserk skills feel like." Nan Tian smiled before charging at the two while keeping an eye on the summon that loomed above them.

Seeing that the two reacted with attacks of their own, Nan Tian smiled and allowed them to hit his body.

Surprised at his willingness to take hits, the two were about to react when Nan Tian grabbed their weapons and pulled them closer.

Reaching for their heads, he slammed the two against one another, dazing them for a moment before slamming them against the ground.

Grabbing one of them to pin the other down, a spear of light formed in his hand as he was above to pierce the two of them when he sensed danger from above and quickly rolled out of the way.

*BOOM!!!!!

Watching a breath attack obliterate the two guards along with the ground that they were laying on, Nan Tian raised his eyebrow.

However, before he could question his decision, he watched as two more portals opened up, summoning two extra tier 6 guards, causing him to massage his eyes.

"No wonder they were lacking a few skills." He muttered but just the fact that she could summon tier 6 guards was annoying. Even if it seems like she was limited to just four.

'The guards will keep spawning so my best bet is to take care of the summoner along with the dragon thing above us.' Nan Tian thought to himself while glancing towards Natia who was standing above the head of the summon.

With her being protected by the dragon, it was going to be a pain to reach her unless he managed to stun the dragon. Even then, there was no guarantee that he would be able to kill her.

The Runic Guard was taking care of the other two so he wasn't being swarmed by all of her summons.

Taking a deep breath, Nan Tian flared his aura as there was a time limit for his berserk skills.

Activating the skill unique to his class, Incarnation of Light, radiant armour wrapped around Nan Tian as golden spears appeared around him.

Looking up, he raised his hand before pulling back as if ready to throw a javelin.

Light started to gather towards his hands as tier 6 magic circles appeared in front of him.

Forming a rotating spear with the light, Nan Tian gritted his teeth as the ground started to crack beneath him.

While this was happening, the two newly summoned guards were dashing towards him.

Ignoring them, he threw the spear.

*BOOM!!!!

The moment the spear passed through the magic circles, their power was amplified as it transformed into a blinding ray of light that passed by the dragon in an instant.

"URAHHH!!!!!!"

Hearing the dragon cry out in pain and anger, Natia stabilised herself on its back as she could see a line of burned flesh along the body with the scales being torn off forcefully and the ones that weren't torn off were being melted by the heat.

"Don't look away." Nan Tian's voice rang out as he appeared in front of the dragon's head with another spear ready.

Narrowing his eyes, he threw the spear.
