Chapter 147: Xaru

" Just to be sure, how long does it usually take for creatures from the other side of this gate to pour out? Since right now, it is just a one way gate so we can only defend against the creatures from the other side. "Lucian asked, several things going through his head.

[ Normally it takes a over a couple of days for the 1st and 2nd Phase Chasms and over four to five days for a 3rd Phase Chasm, but in the past there have been very, very unique situations where they opened much earlier than their time.

And considering your luck, I won't be surprised if this 3rd Phase Chasm opens the moment it had appeared so- ]

Lucian had his gaze fixed on the Chasm as he read Zero's reply, for some reason all of a sudden it began to gave off a different feeling, and since Lucian had already been inside one of the Chasm so he understood the reason.

*RUMBLE*

It produced a slightly loud sound and then began to glow, while releasing small amount of Fog.

This Fog was acting as a one sided wall stopping people from the Earth to go to the other side but it will keep on leaking more Fog and after a certain point, the invisible wall will disappear.

Even the creatures who had once entered through the Chasm won't be able to leave the Earth unless they have killed the ruler / strongest person of the planet.

' But the planets from the 1st Phase to the 7th Phase are connected to the reverse Earth right now, which is at the 8th Phase.

So even if they do manage to kill some people aren't all those planets just destined to be doomed from the powerhouses of the Earth? '

Lucian wondered, as he took the sword out from Zero's storage, he didn't had enough time to run away from there. Then his last though brought him to a new realisation:

' What if those planets are just being used to remove the unnecessary crowd from the Earth? Then does that mean some kind of being had selected this Earth for something?

To get more information I have to get in touch with the Pendulum as soon as possible even if as a normal member. '

His thoughts were moving at lightning speed, he could already feel that the Chasm has finally opened and unknown creatures were about pour out of it.

The only way for him to survive against those creature was if Scarlett could come in time, otherwise he won't even be able to escape.

' Since it appeared at such a height, there is a high chance that the creatures inside it will have the ability to fly. ' he thought and tightly gripped the sword that Peter had delivered to him not too long ago.

It wasn't just any ordinary sword, it could even generate a small amount of Fog and use that to release even dangerous slashes, but that still won't be enough against creatures who are at the 3rd phase of evolution.

*SWOOSH*

Lucian felt a gust of wind hitting his body but even though he was intenly staring at the Chasm he didn't see anything coming out, though he could hear some strange and low noise. Sёarch* The Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

[ Move, these creatures are invisible, its aiming for your head. ]

Just as Lucian read her words he understood why he couldn't see anything coming out, he felt a weak wind hitting his face and knew it was already too late to dodge.

Instead he covered his entire body with black flames, that was extended upto the sword tip, then he waved the sword with all his strength at the same altitude of his face.

*BANG*

Lucian felt the sword blade hitting something hard, sparks flew around, the creature which came in contact with the sword was slowed down a little which reduced the force of its attack slightly.

*BOOM*

Still the difference in the strength was too much, the sword was bounced back and Lucian was thrown back as his back hit against the wall, the collision was not enough to break his bones still he felt pain all over his body and could feel an iron like taste in his mouth.

After the first collision, the creature landed on the floor as it lost its balance, and its body was finally revealed to him.

The creator had a height of a little more than a meter, its body was thin and two transparent long wings were attached to its back.

Its head looking even tiny compared to the rest of the body which had two large eyes like that of a bee and a big mouth full of pointed teeth, no ear were visible.

Its feet had round shape giving it a better footing and both it's hands had sharp claws, which were giving an eerie feeling, this creature was at the 3rd Phase of evolution, and even without using any ability it had the strength to kill Lucian easily.

[ This species exist on a planet that has abundance of crystals or diamonds, they are called Xaru and they could even eat those hard things with these pointy teeth, but the variety of abilities that they can use aren't as vast as the humans. ]

The 1st Xaru that had charged outside seemed a little confused after its surprise attack had failed, but it's gaze was locked onto Lucian as it released a laugh that sounded like the cry of a baby.

' Damn where is Scarlett? ' Lucian thought he could only try to buy a little time for himself.

*SWOOSH*

*SWOOSH*

*SWOOSH*

Lucian felt several waves of wind as one after another, invisible creatures began to pour out of the Chasm, all of them had just one target in sight.

" FUCK!! ECHO, BLINDING LIGHTS AND LOUDEST MUSIC. "

Lucian cursed his luck, then he gave an order he was just throwing an arrow in the dark, hoping that the Xarus' have one of those things as their weakness.

(DONE)

Just as he heard this, Lucian closed his eyes for a moment, the wall in front of him had given him a little time to do all this, which stopped more Xarus from rushing in.

Even if the sound and light aren't the weakness of the Xarus but they would still be blinded for a few seconds by the light and might be startled by the loud music.

*GRRRRRRR*

Unfortunately Lucian's was not lucky this time as always, the blinding light had almost no effect on them and though the sound had startled them but it only made them more irritated, these diamond eating creatures were too strong.

[RUN]

Lucian knew that his plans had filled the moment he saw this message, but instead of trying to run out of the room which would remove all his defence for a moment he charged directly towards the first Xaru.

There were countless creatures in front of him outside the window and out of them only one was visible they were faster than him, stronger than him and much more dangerous, Lucian had zero per cent chance of surviving against any of them in a fair battle of one on one.
