Chapter 286: Buying Time

"What!? You're a proud draconian and you can't even handle a mere heat!? Let me show you how it's done," said the captain of the squad sent by the Dark Alliance to his subordinates.

"As the--!"

The moment she began using his seishin essences, Kraftvoll's seishin device suddenly emitted an unbearable heat that stopped the captain of the enemy squad.

"What is this!?" she could only ask her subordinates after she felt the unbearable heat.

"That's what we are saying to you earlier, captain," said the comrade beside the captain of the squad.

'Shit! What is this seishin device!? I am a Low Seishin Sage and a proud draconian seishin practitioner! How am I affected by the heat of this fucking thing!?' the captain thought to herself with a very annoyed expression.

Seeing the expression of her captain, one of the draconians said to his captain, "I think this rope is an Advanced-level seishin device, captain!"

After hearing him, the captain of the enemy squad was a little shocked at what she heard. After regaining her composure, she said to her subordinate, "An Advanced-level seishin device!? Then, we were really unlucky this time! No wonder the leader of those wretched beings is at the Seishin Royalty-rank!"

The only thing that the soldiers of that squad sent by the Dark Alliance had sent could do was wait for their captors to arrive.

After walking for a few dozens of minutes, Kraftvoll and the others managed to reach the entrance of the secret passage of the Quietus ravines. 

Their enemy, who were tied on the tree, were all shocked by the documents held by Kraftvoll and the others. Although it was currently night time, the secret documents of the Dark Alliance had a special feature that made them visible to the eyes of the races from the Dark Alliance even if it is dark.

'Shit! Of all the things that they could find! I better send some signal to our allies! Or it would cost our army something important!' the captain of the enemy squad thought to herself.

She decided to look to the comrades which were tied together with her. That's when she realized something that made her smile.

'Oh yeah! There's no need for that! We better buy time, then!' she thought to herself.

Without Kraftvoll and the others hearing it, the captain of the squad sent by the Dark Alliance decided to whisper something to her subordinates. She whispered to them, "Commence plan b!"

After hearing that, all of her subordinates knew what they need to do. One of the demibeasts shouted to Kraftvoll and the others, "You wretched things! Don't you have any honor!? You will just let the body of our comrade there to be eaten by seishin beasts!?"

The most hotheaded one among the golden unit of the 9th regimental battalion decided to answer. Godwin shouted to the enemy squad, "Cursed being like yourselves doesn't deserve any honor! Why do we have to do something about that thing!"

"You shameless bastards!" shouted one of the draconians to Godwin.

Godwin was about to answer but Kraftvoll decided to stop him saying, "Don't let them provoke you, Third Brother! They are only waiting for their death so there's no need to waste any breath to them."

After hearing his captain, Godwin was forced to calm himself down. Despite his hotheadedness, he still has the rationality to stop his anger in this kind of situation.

Although Godwin decided to stop, the mockery of the Dark Alliance soldiers continued to the point that even the other subordinates of Kraftvoll were annoyed.

'These wretched things are constantly mocking us! Are they trying to do something!? Don't tell me they-!?' Kraftvoll thought to himself.

A moment later, Kraftvoll decided to do something. He said to his subordinates, "Protect me, everyone. I'm going to finish these trashes."

A moment after saying those words, Kraftvoll activated his brown seishin aura and his red seishin aura.

'It seemed like First Brother really wanted to finish these things. From what I observed, it seems like they were buying time for something. We can't bring them with us since all of the information that we need probably inside these documents so killing them is the best choice,' Prince Aragorn thought to himself as he observed the situation.

After activating his two seishin auras, Kraftvoll began chatting saying, "Ye who depicts how hatred melts one's stability, I order thee, bring those who are against me to their doom, Lava Barrage!"

As soon as he began chanting, an immense amount of brown seishin aura from the surroundings began gathering around him. Since the heat of the sun, which is the main source of the red seishin essences, Kraftvoll compensated that part of the seishin spell by using his inner seishin essences.

That's why, at the next moment, the slivers of fire were formed out of Kraftvoll's inner seishin essences. At the middle of Kraftvoll's chant, the brown seishin essences that were converging to him began turning into particles of the earth one by one.

As the enemy squad observed Kraftvoll's chant, all of them resigned to their death. They were all soldiers so no one among them was afraid of death.

The captain of the enemy squad thought to herself, 'I guess this is it. The leader of this squad is really decisive! If only they wait a little longer, the reinforcement would be able to arrive. Well, it's not a bad way to die from a great spell.'

Before Kraftvoll's chant reached its end, the particles of the earth and the slivers of fire that he conjured merged which formed a body of lava ready to be launched by its conjurer.

Without a moment of hesitation, Kraftvoll decided to launched almost all of the projectiles of lava at the enemy soldiers that were tied at the tree. 

At the same time. he launched one projectile of lava toward the corpse of the Orc that he slashed to death earlier.

While the enemy soldiers were shouting in agony, Kraftvoll said to his teammates, "We have to move, NOW!
