Chapter 267 Bunch Of Homewreckers
Immediately the monster fell, the mountain became slightly brighter, the eerie silence was gone, and from afar, Northern could hear the clanging sound of swords.
The visor of the Night Terror armor glowed incandescently as he surged into quick movement, running elegantly, like a Terror in the Night.
Several other Lumidrakes were rampaging against the cohort, but the cohort did not seem to be having any issues repelling the dangerous attacks of the monsters.
Even the white-haired girl was holding on well.
However, Northern observed through [See] that, compared to the one he fought, they didn't have true names.
They also didn't have azure horns or spikes, their tails were not as long, and they generally were not as big.
Which meant that one had deliberately come for him.
It even separated him from the group to deal with him personally.
Why?
'Should I be honored?'
Sadly, it met a cruel fate at his hand before he could ask.
However, the numbers of the others were quite concerning.
Their scales might not have been as hard as those of the one he faced, but judging by the way even Raven was not able to kill them in one strike...
Not that they were having a hard time, but usually, for a Sage and a Master like Raven, they'd be done with this already.
Which just proves how strong these monsters were.
Northern twirled both swords, leaned forward, and pushed back a leg.
"I can't miss out on fun like this."
Northern's heart pounded with a mixture of adrenaline and excitement as he surged forward, the Night Terror armor shimmering with a dark and azure, almost ethereal glow.
Each step he took was silent and swift, a testament to the armor's namesake.
He moved like a shadow, a wraith among the sleeping giants of stone and trees.
Even though it was clearly day, darkness lingered in every corner of the forest. Perhaps, this was due to the towering trees and enormous rocks that shrouded the airspace of the forest.
As Northern approached the fray, the clanging of swords grew louder, mingled with the roars and hisses of the Lumidrakes.
She twisted the weapon, ripping it free and sending a spray of blood into the air, then glared at Northern and said:
"More of them are coming."
Terence moved closer to Northern.
"I guess the fact that you killed their leader explains why they are in such a frenzy."
Northern looked down for a minute.
Raven noticed and tilted her head slightly.
"Is something wrong?" she asked.
Northern hesitated, he frowned a little bit, and eventually voiced his concerns.
"I feel like... we shouldn't be killing them."
"Because they are beautiful...?"
"No..." he shut his eyes and looked down, his hold on both swords getting stronger. Then he uttered:
"Because this is their home... and we came to their home... Raven, we can't just enter into the habitat of a bunch of monsters and start killing them. It's not fair."
Raven tilted her head a little.
"They are monsters. Since when has fairness become a thing?"
Northern sighed, "Okay, maybe I sound weird."
Raven narrowed her eyes a little.
"You don't just sound weird, you sound odd. If we don't kill them, we will be killed."
"I know."
Northern's eyes scanned the battlefield.
Of course, he knew Raven was right; he just couldn't help the way he was feeling.
From the deeper recesses of the mountains, more Lumidrakes were emerging, their numbers seemingly endless.
At this point, they had to find a way to stem the tide, or they would be overwhelmed.
