Chapter 500 Calamity Upon The Capital [Pt 5]

Chapter 500 Calamity Upon The Capital [Pt 5]

Crippling fear.

The kind that prevents your body from moving. That was what currently affected the three who watched the horrors their classmate was experiencing to save them.

Despite seeing his sacrifice, they could not move.

Logically speaking, there was no use running away. Their opponent was a Spatial Magic User who could instantly appear before them no matter where they ran to.

Plus, they were also physically exhausted after everything that had happened.

However, those weren't the reasons why they could not move.

It was simply fear.

The fear that caused one's legs to stop working and shut down all motor functions; that kind.

Even as the personification of inevitable suffering neared them, they could not move in the slightest. These were no longer the fearless saviors of the world, the champions of humanity, not the hope for the Alliance.

They had reverted back to the sixteen-year-old High School Students whose biggest worries were failing tests or being bullied in school.

How could those people handle the unstoppable march of doom that approached?

"L-Lightni--" As Trishs tried to say something, a blast was suddenly fired beside her, easily burning her left ear off.

It destroyed the ground behind her as well.

"Aaarrghhh--!"

"Be silent." The Dragon appeared right before her, tightly gripping her mouth as he said those words to her.

"The only reason you're still alive is because I haven't been ordered to eliminate you. If you push me, I'll end your lives right here and now."

His dangerously cold eyes told Trisha that he wasn't messing around. Her shivering body could not stop its trembling, and she closed her eyes in surrender as she did her best to stifle her sobs and scream.

"That's more like it." Ser'ith said, removing his hand from her mouth. "Just grovel in fear like that."

As he watched the other two; the boy who was busy worrying about the vomiting girl, he was slightly disappointed that they weren't making a scene.

Ser'ith wanted more defiance. That would give him the perfect excuse to kill.

'Or maybe I should just...!'

"That's enough, Ser'ith." A voice suddenly emerged from above, causing his bloodshot eyes and crazy smile to dissipate. The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))

He instantly gazed above and found his superior--Kar'en--and his colleague, Phil'emon, descending from above.

"Y-yeah..." R'ashu muttered. "I even had to use [Mirror Reflect] to damage him with his attack and send him crashing here."

"I see..."

As soon as the conversation ended, R'ashu was done regenerating, making him just as capable as the rest of his comrades.

"Huff... huff..." As the distant echo danced in the air, Adonis emerged from the smoke and dust, his glowing blade in hand.

Before any could say a word, he dashed forward, ready to slash at the enemies in sight.

But—

~FSHIIII~

A transparent barrier, akin to some sort of spatial distortion, appeared in front of the group; courtesy of Phil'emon.

"It's useless." The Dragon Commander said with a slight smile, watching as the blade crashed into his barrier.

Adonis smiled slightly.

The ignorant Dragon had no idea of the kind of weapon that he wielded.

One of its primary functions was simple, yet difficult.

~SWOOOSH!~

... It ignored defenses!
