Chapter 138 - Fierce Battle Between Soldiers and Beasts

The addition of Seira's small party did not really do much help against the huge army of the Heavenly Winged Guardians. 

Nonetheless, the appearance of another Immortal-Class level mercenary would be of huge help when the a_d_u_l_t Heavenly Winged Guardians will arrive.

General Lexus smiled faintly after seeing the heroic silhouette of a familiar young lady. 

'The brat from the Ignius Family is actually here. His father, Duke Shutra would truly have a heart attack if he learns that his beloved daughter is inside the Cave of Endless Grievance.' 

The old general's countenance turned brighter as he hacked the humanoid beasts around him.

"Young miss Seira and her team are here to provide support!" A soldier saw Seira joining the battlefield which made him shout excitedly.

Everyone was elated about it, making their fighting will soar to a much higher degree.

Seira Ignius, ranks fourth in the Adamantine leaderboard. The daughter of Duke Shutra Ignius. 

The arrival of such a person made them fight more aggressively as if they were injected with chicken blood. 

The Heavenly Winged Guardians were being pushed back by the Dual Sword Army's fierce momentum.

The battle cry of the soldiers shook the entire cave, making everyone's blood boil with great intensity.

More and more Heavenly Winged Guardians were hacked into pieces following the crazy onslaught of the soldiers.

Cale with his huge heavy sword casually brandished his weapon to slash a Heavenly Winged Guardian. 

'These Saint-Class level humanoid beasts are much easier to handle, but I don't know how strong would their a_d_u_l_ts be. Hopefully, the old general and the other Immortal-Class level fighters would be able to kill one. If not, then I would really have to equip the full set of my Void Wolf Immortal set equipment.' 

Cale observed the ongoing battle. His silver eyes flashed with a strange glow.

Although Cale was only at the initial stage of the Saint-Class level, his strength was on par with Ciprus who was at the peak of the Saint realm.

The guy was still swinging his gigantic hammer wildly without stopping. His huge expenditure of elemental essence was truly astounding.

But as stupid as he may be. Each of his attacks destroyed countless Heavenly Winged Guardians into pieces.

Cale smiled and shook his head before sprinting forward while raising his huge heavy sword in midair. 

His loose silver hair danced wildly, making him look more dashing and valiant. His silver wolf mask added a hint of mystery to his overall atmosphere. 

The soldiers were awed at Cale's display of strength and they thought that he was also an Adamantine-Rank mercenary.

"Follow that sir! Don't bring shame to our Dual Sword Army! Charge!" 

The soldiers followed behind Cale as they charged through the army of humanoid beasts. 

"Booooom!"

A loud explosion erupted behind the army of Heavenly Winged Guardians. Five humanoid beasts wearing metallic armor suddenly emerged. 

The soldiers' eyes were focused on the five newcomers.

They all felt a chill after seeing them. Those were the a_d_u_l_t Heavenly Winged Guardians! And each of them had the strength at the Immortal-Class level. 

General Lexus' eyes gleamed in anticipation.

'So you have finally shown yourselves.'

The old general flew straight towards the a_d_u_l_t Heavenly Winged Guardians. His two swords were raised in midair. 

The air vibrated at the stifling charge of the old general. 

He slashed both swords at one of the a_d_u_l_t humanoid beasts. The latter raised its stone halberd to block the old general's attack.

"Baaang!"

The old general felt as if he had just hacked a humongous mountain. 

He then issued a deafening battle cry as poured more elemental essence on his attack which pushed back the a_d_u_l_t Heavenly Winged Guardian.

The old general's entire body was then enveloped by an earthen armor, making him look like a human golem. 

His entire being radiated an overpowering aura that made the five a_d_u_l_t humanoid beasts alarmed. 

They then charged at the old general who was now covered by a bronze earthen armor.

The stone halberd in their hands aimed straight at the old general.

General Lexus evaded the attacks but he was still hit by one stone halberd which hurled him towards the far corner of the cave. 

His body was embedded on the cave walls leaving a huge spiderweb-like crack with him at the center.

"Young miss Seira, go support the old general together with his deputies! Leave these small fries to us!" Cale shouted with vigor. 

Seira glanced at Cale intently before she nodded her head gently.

She looked like a flame goddess, heroic and enchanting. 

Her sword slashes produced burning sword winds as she launched them towards the a_d_u_l_t Heavenly Winged Guardians.

The two deputies also soared in midair and activated their elemental essence to the maximum as they enveloped themselves with their respective elemental energies.

Cale grinned as he looked at the fierce battle between the Immortal-Class level fighters and humanoid beasts. 

Their violent exchange created multiple shockwaves.

The soldiers down below were dumbfounded and amazed.

"Everyone, focus on our battle! Charge with me!" Cale shouted an order as he charged through the vanguard of the beasts.

Mutilated body parts flew like rain as Cale swiped his heavy sword unceasingly. 

'The four of them should be enough to kill one a_d_u_l_t Heavenly Winged Guardian.' 

The soldiers followed behind Cale, not wanting to be outdone.

Ciprus' body was enveloped by thick amounts of lightning.

The Heavenly Winged Guardians that were struck by his hammer were pounded into meat paste before their bodies were charred by his lightning element.

Tyrone, the rank twentieth in the Adamantine leaderboard was more low-profile than Ciprus.

He pulled the string of his longbow, but no arrows can be seen. Only a traceless light arrow can be vaguely felt.

Every time he releases the light arrows, one Heavenly Winged Guardian would plummet towards the ground, dead.

"Focus your attacks on one of them! We only need one Holy Nourishing Crystal to save the emperor!" The old general came out of the hole which he was hurled into. 

His eyes radiated dense killing intent.

Seira and the two deputies nodded their heads in acknowledgment. 

The other four beasts did not allow them to kill their comrade. Although they were beasts, they understood what these humans were up to.

Their battle continued, becoming even more violent and fierce. But no clear winner can be seen on both sides.

On the other hand, the soldiers down below were also gaining confidence against the endless amount of humanoid beasts. 

But it won't take long before they expend all of their elemental essence. When that time comes, the tides of the battle will take a drastic turn.

Cale gritted his teeth in indecision, but he still chose not to equip his full Saint set equipment.

'It's only my last resort, and equipping the full set of a Saint equipment meant becoming the target of countless hungry eyes.' 

The soldiers' elemental were diminishing at a fast rate of time. Following that, they became much weaker. 

One by one, they were slowly being killed by the endless amount of Heavenly Winged Guardians. 

Even Ciprus' face was becoming paler by the second. The lightning around his body was suddenly removed. He coughed up blood as he kneeled down on the ground while panting for breath.

He stood up with great difficulty, but he could not lift up his gigantic hammer anymore.

Dozens of Heavenly Winged Guardians dashed towards him with their stone weapons in hand. 

Ciprus laughed mockingly to himself, but his eyes remained fearless in front of countless ferocious humanoid beasts coming for his life.

He was about to close his eyes in resignation, but he suddenly heard a familiar voice traveling beside his ears.

"You have done your part well, Ciprus. I hate to say it, but I admire your courage." 

He glanced in front of him and saw the familiar back figure of a man with long silver hair which sprung loosely behind his back.

He strangely did not feel any anger after hearing the man. He only remained silent and watched in shock as the man effortlessly kill several dozen Heavenly Winged Guardians with a black sword which looked malicious and menacing. 

The humanoid beasts could not even go near Cale as he nonchalantly brandished his sword. 

He already looked dashing before, but now he looked like a celestial war god that descended the mortal realm with the sword in his hands. 

Ciprus' eyes widened in surprise causing him to cough another mouthful of blood.

"A Saint sword?!"
