Chapter 248: Run, You Fools!
What the hell was that? Miles looked at the source of the big explosion. It was coming from the west, which was the direction Lucy went to check up. He felt ominous energy from the same direction, which made his blood go cold.
He hit the ground with a great force and dashed towards the West Wall. The Hunting Team, which he was a member of, was there to protect the west. It had to be the weakest area, but that energy was too strong.
Miles!
Bro!
As he was running, Zall, who was dashing like a giant tank with Mihr on his shoulders and Xavic floating with Porseila in his embrace, arrived at his side.
You guys okay? Miles asked as he kept on running.
Yeah. The duo nodded while all three of them ignored the other two.
Did you feel that energy too? Xavic asked in fright.
Yeah, definitely Frenzy-Rank. Miles nodded with alarm.
Others froze on their feet. It was Porseila who gathered her wits first. She looked at Miles in scorn and asked.
At this time Zall arrived at the battlefield. His mask was on his face, and he was holding a giant shield as tall as him. He wanted to save Xavic, but he was too slow.
As soon as he arrived, two penetrating lights left the eye sockets of the mask and landed on the beasts chest. Two marks looked like blossomed lotuses, white in color. Porseila and Mihr were also getting ready. They stood behind Zall and attacked from afar. Porseila had a pair of pistols while Mihr was charging with a sword of lights. All of them fell on top of the monsters body, but not a scratch could be seen.
Motherfucker! Miles shouted in hatred as he jumped 10 meters into the air. He circulated energy into his body and also activated the first step of the Exaltedness of the Creator. Power surged in his body, and his already muscular body swelled even more. The sword in his hand cried as he clenched his fist.
He freefell from the sky, while the sword was pointing at the sky. The energy moved deep into the sword, accumulated inside. The blazing fire on the sword was cracking the air. The sheer heat the sword was emitting was enough to start a forest fire. But what was blazing most at the moment was Miless eyes. They looked at the monster in hatred and unending anger.
The bodies of his friends were still on the ground, bleeding profusely. Although many others arrived while they were battling, none could approach to take them away.
Just as Miles arrived in front of the monster, the latter raised his hand to catch the former. It grabbed towards his neck, but strangely that hand passed through his body. The monster looked dumbstruck when a sword phased into its vision and landed on one of the marks on its chest.
Flame and sword gushed a thin scratch on the body, and the mark was washed in blood.
You imbeciles! The monster shouted as he swung his thick arm and sent Miles flying back. Seems like I underestimate you maggots!
It raised two arms on its chest level, and energy surrounded its body. When it did, the monster started to change form. The humanoid body swapped with a giant butterfly with two pairs of wings. Now it was lighter and much more nimble. But the danger it was emitting was even stronger.
"These marks are unreachable now." The monster showed two lotuses on its two sides now. Because it changed form, marks have shifted as well. One of them was still red, but the other was white.
