Chapter 970 Battle of Andora 7

Chapter 970 Battle of Andora 7

As soon as the trailblazer group led by Julian stepped through the Spatial Gate and arrived at the other side, they spread out and started clearing up the surrounding area of danger by killing all the Abyss creatures in sight.

"Kill them all!!"

The one bore Immortal Gladiator moniker shouted out loud, as his figure was at the forefront of the group, wreaking havoc amidst a group of Crawlers and Lurkers. A loud explosion occurred, followed by a powerful gust, as the Abyss creatures were flung in all directions.

Thanks to [9 Sun Divine Technique] he possessed, the Thracian was simply unstoppable and inexhaustible in a prolonged battle with the endless supply of Vigor the technique provided. And if that wasn't enough of an advantage, he also wielded a Tier 5 golden glaive that allowed him to fully exhibit his formidable skill.

As the group continued to clash with the Abyss creatures, more and more creatures died until finally an opening was created. Seeing such an opportunity, the Roman who was fighting while watching the situation immediately took it to establish their next move.

"Form a line! form a line!"

Here was the perfect time when Julian's skill finally had a chance to shine. With the cooperation and assistance of the Akamba spear and shield warrior, as well as his 20 trained acolytes, a solid defensive line formation was quickly set up several meters in front of the Spatial Gate.

Immediately after, he shouted his next order.

"Now, push them back!"

Upon hearing Roman's words, the other 50 acolytes which were combined from Orion and Anas's squad dashed through the gaps the defensive line intentionally made, rushing towards the Abyss creature to expand the defensive line.

Leading the charge on the right side of the defensive line were Sigurd and the Kaleos, while the left side was taken by Aiko the Jade Flash, who was accompanied by the two Goat half-bloods Igor and Ivar who had just recovered.

The two groups stabbed straight into the horde of Abyss creatures like an arrow, and killed their way towards the center where the greatest number of Abyss creatures were. Thanks to their actions, the pressure felt by the Akamba warriors and Julian's men who formed the defensive line and held back the Abyss creatures was reduced considerably.

The Abyss creatures were swiftly plunged into chaos by the coordinated pincer attack. It was at this moment that another group of people finally made their move. The ranged fighters which consisted of Chumo, Gerri, Anas, Klea, and Annara entered the fray from behind the protection of the defensive line.

Immediately after they joined, the number of slain Abyss creatures increased greatly. This allowed the Akamba warriors and Julian's men to push forward and advance the defensive line.

Most of the people who joined the trailblazer group were those who had been part of Julian's team during the second Magus Game, hence most were able to follow his command with ease. Thanks to that, in just 15 minutes, a straight path from the Spatial Gate towards the narrow corridor between the seas was successfully made.

It was only when the clearing in front of the Spatial Gate had become quite wide, that the first batch of survivors started to slowly pass through the Spatial Gate.

Before long, the commotion the group was making quickly alarmed and attracted more hordes of Abyss creatures in the surrounding area. In fact, the number of Abyss creatures attacking the group quickly returned to its previous number, and even seemed to be surpassing it.

This was where things got really difficult for the group.

After all, what the group should pay attention to was not just killing the approaching Abyss creatures. There was the additional task of protecting the tens of thousands of survivors who walk out of the Spatial Gate. And on top of that, they had to complete both tasks within a certain time constraint.

4 hours.

That was all the time that Platoon 3 and Emery had to move all these 3 million Andora natives to the other side, therefore all tens of thousands of survivors had to keep moving fast along the designated path that had been made.

The survivors ran in the middle of a fierce battlefield, just like passing through a bridge that was under fire. They had to keep moving east along the half-mile corridor separated by the sea.

Klea, Gerri, as well as the other ranged fighters tried their best to protect the survivors from the Abyss creatures. However, not only were their numbers limited, accidents were bound to happen in chaotic situations. As such, there were still dozens of survivors who got hurt or killed every second.

Dead bodies of survivors and corpses of Abyss creatures started piling up along the sandy path, turning the ground into a stark red. Cries and woes were heard among the survivors; even so, they had to keep going.

"Keep moving!"

On the other side of the portal, Roran tried his best to defend the line of defense of the base previously set to be defended by 300 acolytes, with only 80 men at his disposal.

He himself took the Main Gate at the north, Trish and Arcana stood guard on the East Gate, while Magus Bellaine defended the West Gate. Casualties began to appear as a mountain of Crawlers already swarming the first line of the wall.

"Retreat! Go back to the second wall!" shouted Roran as he cast a spell to kill a group of Crawlers.

An hour later, the survivors gathered at the base started to thin out as more and more crossed over to another side. It was also at this time that the second line of defense began to be overwhelmed by the Abyss creatures.

Roran called on them to jump out from the wall and hold the creatures on the central ground of the base. He didn't even have time to dismantle his precious Plasma Turrets. As a result, they were overrun by the hordes of Abyss creatures and were destroyed one by one.

During this time period, two unexpected figures demonstrated their extraordinary worth.

The first was the Maniac. Lodos showed off his incredible skill as he suppressed thousands of Flyers by himself using his [Gravitational Pressure] spell.

Upon entering the affected area, the Flyers had no other choice but to fall to the ground.

The other one was Micah, who utilized his powerful [Crystal Barrier] spell to save countless lives from dying under the claws of the Abyss creatures. He also employed the spell to block and kill numerous Abyss creatures.

After another hour, Platoon 3 base's defensive line was completely overwhelmed by the hordes of Abyss creatures. More and more casualties began to fall, survivors and acolytes alike. Fortunately, by this time, most of the survivors had crossed over to the other side.

Emery gritted his teeth as he saw the people injured and killed by the Abyss creatures. Alas, he could only watch as he must not be interrupted. Otherwise, the already fragile Spatial Gate would soon be destroyed.

The ground suddenly started to crack, and finally, the base was fully overwhelmed. Seeing this, Emery's expression changed drastically.

"Hurry up and enter the gate!"

A stage 5 Ravager emerged from the ground near where Emery was standing. He could only watch as the creature turned its attention to him and a cruel glint flashed across its eyes. The creature swiftly charged toward him.

Within such an extremely chaotic situation, with dust and smoke everywhere obscuring the view, no one was aware of the danger that was coming to Emery except for one person.

At the last moment, just as the Ravager was about to reach Emery, a figure appeared in front of him. A large sphere of heavy water swirled above her hand, and she quickly threw it into the mouth of the stage 5 Abyss creature, blowing it into pieces with an explosion from within.

The figure, Trish, managed to stop the Ravager from injuring Emery.

Unfortunately, she did not escape unscathed. Knowing that it would die, the Ravager made a last-ditch effort and managed to inflict a critical injury on the girl. One of its sharp horns had penetrated through her abdomen.

With her body dyed with blood, the girl turned to Emery and said, "I guess we are even now." She fell to her knees afterward. A moment later, her body was swallowed by the light and disappeared from the place.

Emery stared at where she had been in a daze for a while, before finally turning his attention back to his surroundings.

Lyndell and her squad members gave their best to save those who were injured, but there were still a few others left behind. Then, Emery noticed Roran's lieutenant the Tiger bloodline Lymord was charging toward the Abyss creatures instead of backing off, trying to buy time.

By that time, with most people having passed through the portal, Emery planned to save Lymord and the other half a dozen acolytes around him. However, Roran grabs his shoulder and stops him.

"Let him be! He is buying time for us" Roran said, pulling him and telling the last few survivors to enter and finally telling Emery to step into the portal.

The last thing Emery saw was the brave acolytes surrounded by tens of thousands of Abyss creatures before the spatial gate was finally closed
