Chapter 384 Hellraiser

Chapter 384 Hellraiser　　"RAAAGHH!! [Great Axe Art - Mountain Cleaver]." roared Baron Ivo

A moment later, Baron Ivo hit the ground and created a large fissure on the ground that shook the surrounding area. This creates a significant disturbance on the whole battlefield. Using this opportunity, the Sur knights decide to push forward the encirclement.

At the same time, the Gryphon unit also kept harassing the Traynia's magician and artillery unit. Seeing Baron Ivo's reinforcement, Moi and the Sur knights once again feel hope. 

They begin to fight fervently, leaving bloody corpses on their path, especially Ilgor, who is butchering his enemy in a frenzy. Unlike the other Sur knights, Ilgor is superior in stamina and endurance.

After getting trained by Angus, he also became more proficient at regulating his mana and could fight for days with the help of high-grade mana potions. Orc is a fearsome and warmonger race. 

Some rumors even say that they are getting stronger during the heat of battle, which is not wrong but also not entirely true. Orcs have a unique racial skill called Berserk. Usually, only a few orcs managed to activate this skill manually.

However, during the heat of the battle, especially on the battlefield, Orc could easily enter a Berserk state. This is also the main reason why they are called the Warmonger race. They are a race that only shows its true power in war.

The berserk state may be a skill that increases the overall combat prowess of the Orc race. However, this skill is a double edge sword.

Like when Ilgor fought Angus the first time, Berserk states have their time limit. Once they are snapped from the Berserk state, the orc will enter a weakened state. Some of them couldn't even move their body.

Furthermore, when orcs enter a berserk state, they can't differentiate between foe or ally. They turn into mad beasts that attack everything on their path. Fortunately, Ilgor is very familiar with the Berserk state and could somehow control his body.

Combined with the harsh control training from Angus, Ilgor could also negate his body entering a berserk state automatically. Still, this was the first time Ilgor participated in a very large-scale war, which made his mind more erratic and frenzy.

Moreover, all the blood and corpses also stimulate his inner demon to rampage madly. In the end, he entered his berserk state without noticing. However, this berserk state is different from his usual activated berserk skill.

His body enhancement is lower and he has more control over his body. It could be said it is a partial berserk state. Since it is only partial, his berserk duration is also longer.

"Damn!! How come he is still in the berserk state?" cursed the nearby Traynia's soldier.

It is normal to avoid any berserk Orc on the battlefield and only harass them from a safe distance until the orc snaps from the berserk state. However, Ilgor is not like an ordinary orc. Not only does he still retain his sane mind, but he also could fight for hours in his current berserk state.

Soon, the Sur knights, led by Ilgor, managed to break through the enemies' encirclement. Seeing that the Sur Knights still managed to fight and move despite being exhausted, Baron Ivo couldn't help but respect them and get more excited.

"Such an amazing squad. No wonder they could always beat all their opponents in every showcase duel. Alright, I will also not lose [Gigantification - Partial Transformation]!!" said Ivo.

Suddenly, Ivo's body became bigger and muscular. His two-meter height body became bigger than before. Without hesitation, Ivo swung his Great Axe casually. *Whoosh* A huge wind turbulence releases from his swing and kills all the approaching soldiers.

Seeing few fourth-grade soldiers die under Ivo causal, Traynia's general Roach feels like eating shit. Currently, he is still getting entangled with three fourth-grade Sur knights. Yet, his own fourth-grade soldier couldn't even hold Ivo for a while without getting killed.

This shows a massive difference between their soldiers' quality. Although it is also thanks to Sur knights' high-quality equipment, it still leaves a bitter taste for Traynia's generals.

'Damn.. It is One-Eye Ivo.' grumbled general Roach inwardly while trying to get away from the three Sur knights.

Using his unstoppable power, Ivo begins his mascarade and creates chaos on the battlefield. Only after five of Traynia's fourth-grade soldiers worked together did they finally block and stop his attack. But, Ivo is also not a fool and keeps running around the battlefield.

He kept breaking the Traynia's encirclement formation and created an opportunity for the Sur knights to pass by.

Seeing the change in the battlefield, the silent Duke Faltos couldn't help noticing it. However, just as he wanted to go towards Ivo, a scorching heat erupted in front of him.

"Why so hurry? Please keep humor this old man." said Moi chillingly.

Then, Moi took out his destroyed upper half and let it hang on his waist. Now, his upper body is completely exposed. Everyone could see his bloody wound and countless scars all over his body.

"It's been a long time since I get cornered like this." said Moi as his sword started to be covered with fire.

Duke Faltos couldn't help but glare at the Moi seriously. Up till now, the reason why he is getting the upper hand is that Moi is distracted with the Sur knight's safety. However, now there is Ivo and his Gryhon unit keeping them safe.

A moment later, Moi and Duke Faltos disappear from their spot and clash with each other. Each clash releases a forceful airwave towards the surrounding, pushing the nearby Traynia's soldier back.

*Clang* *Clang* *Clang* In a few seconds, they have already exchanged blows more than a dozen times. While the two fifth-grade combatants exchange blows with their life on their line, all the Sur knights finally break through the encirclement and keep retreating.

Seeing there is another reinforcement from the Heart kingdom's side, General Roach knows he needs to let them go or there will be more casualties on their side.

Since their Fort Destroyer is already destroyed, the general needs to launch a siege against the Thornbridge Hold in the old way. This battle will be hard and expend a lot of manpower as Thornbridge has its natural geography advantage.

"Tch.. Fall back!! Let them go!! Regroup everyone!!" Shouted General Roach throughout the battlefield.

Hearing this, the three Sur knights get entangled with general Roach for a while before also retreating with Ivo. However, Moi and Duke Faltos still didn't stop their fight and got more serious.

At the same time, their surrounding area is getting hotter and even becoming unbearable for ordinary fourth-grade combatants. As General Roach approached their battlefield, a massive heat erupted from the ground [Scorched Land].

Then, Moi stabs his burning sword on the ground. Instantly, the surrounding heat is absorbed by the sword.

"Scorch Hellraiser!!" said Moi softly before his short sword shone brightly.

Seeing this, "Shit! Move Back!!" commanded Duke Faltos for the first time since the battle before disappearing from his spot.

A moment later, Moi swung his bright sword horizontally around him [Hellraiser - Scorched Ring]. A bright red crimson slash is released around Moi and burns everything on its path. The ring keeps getting bigger until around hundreds of meters away.

By the time everyone is recovering, Moi is already long gone with his previous spot and on his way towards Thornbridge Hold. At the same time, Traynia's soldiers could see Moi's last devastating attack.

Nothing remains from all the Traynia's soldiers enveloped by the Scorched Ring. Not even a single armor or weapon remains. All of them turn to ash under Moi's devastating attack. Everyone couldn't help but gulp in fear.

'Damn.. Weapon artifact?!! How could a fifth-grade combatant own a weapon artifact?!! This is ridiculous!' grumbled general Roach inwardly before glancing at the silent Duke Faltos beside him.

Unlike in Porros inside the Endless Battlefield dimension, the weapon artifact is actually a super rare item that is mainly reserved for sixth grade or above combatants. However, Moi is an ex-elder of the Sur village.

He is one of the fortunate men that managed to get a weapon artifact in some kind of ancient ruin. At first, Moi only thought his sword was a high-quality sword. As soon as he reaches fifth grade, he finds that his sword is actually a weapon artifact.

Unfortunately, his power is still too low to release the artifact's true power even after knowing its name and fully releasing all its seals. Just using the Scorching Ring once, Moi feels like almost entering a mana deficiency state.

"Fortunately, Duke Faltos managed to react quickly and get away from the area." said General Roach.

The Duke didn't say anything and only nodded silently before going away. The middle-aged general couldn't help but shake his head at the taciturn duke's behavior. Duke Faltos is famous for his taciturn behavior and only says things when it is crucial.

Leaving Duke Faltos alone, General Roach began to organize his army. Previously, Traynia's soldiers were too scattered and the fast assault from the Sur knights left them in chaos. It could be said the chain of command is destroyed single-handedly by Sur knights' joint skill.

Therefore, the whole of Traynia's army couldn't show its true power. Moreover, Ivo and Moi keep interfering and make the whole army more chaotic.
