Chapter 65: Beast Wave (5)

Boom!

Crash!

Pfttuuume!

Achilles redirected another two fire plumes back and quickly killed another two beasts while his father protected him from any close combat encounters. Because of his legs, he could barely stand, so his father set him down and then proceeded to protect him while Achilles focused on the fight and the fire that was being spit by the beasts!

Rust swung his hammer at another of the ball-tail beasts, shattering its tail, which in turn forced it to flee. Luckily, a few of the other ball-tail beasts followed behind it, getting rid of about 10 beasts in one strike!

Rust breathed a sigh of relief as the beast's numbers dwindled and shouted out,"Loominus! Warriors! KILL!"

Both Loominus and the warriors shouted back, "KILL!" and Rust followed that up by grabbing the spear and hurling as hard as he could at some beasts! The spear traveled across the battlefield at extreme speeds, and struck a fire breather directly in the chest! However, this spear did not stop there, and still carrying the struggling soon-to-be corpse of the fire breather, it kept moving forwards and impaled another Goldnes!

The warriors saw this and one of them on the frontline raised his spear high in the air and shouted out,"For the Dwarves!"

Suddenly Rust heard a scream that was not his clansmen and was in an odd language shout out across from the battlefield. Suddenly the fire retreated from Rust and smashed back into the 4 fire breathers, instantly turning them into ash!

Rust was bewildered with his mouth agape and quickly looked to where the shout came from, only to see that strange creature staring back at him. Rust didn't know how to thank the creature and so, still slightly shocked, nodded his head in thanks and respect.

What surprised Rust was that the creature seemed to understand him and nodded back! It was as if the creature understood the simple gesture and returned his own!

Rust was now extra confused but decided to put that aside for now, as he had a battle to finish.

The minutes kept bleeding by as the dwarves and centaurs fought side by side against the beasts that were trying to invade! Rust was smashing beasts with his hammer and throwing out his high speed spears as fast as he could. Loominus was running around the battlefield swinging his sword to and fro, and even though he wasn't actually hitting anything, the sword seemed to carry a heavy wind with it as this "wind" sliced through the beasts easily!

Finally, when the beasts had been whittled down to only about 15, the rest finally had too much pressure and fled!

The dwarves and centaurs didn't relax until they personally witnessed all the beasts flee further from this area! When there were no longer any beasts in the area, everyone present, no matter that species, race, or gender, heaved a sigh of relief.

Then, as if by pure fate, both Achilles and Rust yelled out,"WE DID IT!!!"

Which was then accompanied by victorious roars! The warriors all screamed and jumped for joy while hugging and holding their comrades. One could also hear from inside the trench shouts of happiness and celebration.

They had done it. They had survived!
