A golden light fell on Lola and she level up to second circle existence Seeing this, a bright smile appeared on her childish face.
'How could this kid level up so quickly.' Grandpa Philip shouted in his heart. 'This is bad. I can't let this kid level up to my rank. I must level up quickly.'
"Are you trying to level up to my level" Grandpa Philip said as they race toward the next hideout of the hordes with Lola by his right.
A bright smile appeared on Lola's face as she averted her gaze looking into the distance.
'What should I do grumpy old man. Do you want to remain weak and unable to defend myself.' She complained as they climb a high dune.
Groan.
The horde on grandpa Philip's shoulder looked miserable as he looked at the dune with a lifeless gaze.
Boom!
A deafening sound came from the other side of the dune and the duo looked at each other. At once, they increased their speed and arrived at the other side of the dune.
What the hell!
Grandpa and Lola halt on their track and looked at the scene in front of them with their mouth ajar.
A serious battle was going on in front of them as both human and hordes were fighting desperately. On grandpa Philip shoulder, the horde looked at the battle in dismay as he knew those horde fighting elite fighter of the king's army
"Your usefulness ends here." Grandpa Philip muttered and punched the horde on the head, breaking his skull.
"Little girl, don't get yourself kill."
"And you too, old man."
"Huh. With your measly strength, you dare call me old man." He chuckled as they rushed into the battlefield.
Bang! Bang!
Whoosh!
Ah! ah!
Grandpa Philip and Lola attacked at the same time, sending a couple of low grade hordes flying. With Lola being a second circle existence and also an elementalist. Hence, she was comparable to a weakest grade three horde.
Although, it was only two people that joined the battle, the state of the battlefield changed once the two began their massacre. With the addition of the two, the battle field now had five third Circle existence fighting the fourth grade hordes.
As for any hordes lower than the fourth grade. They didn't dare come in their vicinity. Although they couldn't meddle with the powerful once, their battle with Nika and other were equally terrifying.
"Blood drain!" Kira shouted as bead of sweat dripped from the corner of her face.
Boom!
The land tremble vehemently as her golem spear moved in a arc. The four hordes surrounding her halt in their attack and their eyes lose focus.
Thud!
The four dropped their weapons and the land trembled, sending some dust into the air. Veins protruded from their body as they fight the power drain their blood.
"Heart Piercer" Her spear moved the second time and golden arc moved swiftly, cut into the heart of the helpless hordes.
Ah!
The head of the four hordes were sent flying in the sky while their headless corpse fell to the ground without any blood.
Huh!
Susan saw Kira attack and she knit her brow as she was defending against the horde vicious attack.
"Lightning wrapper." She jumped into the sky and swing her whip toward the five hordes surrounding her.
Bang!
The hordes smirked as they hit the incoming lighting with their huge weapon. When their weapon came in contact with the lightning, their expression as they realized they extricate their weapon from the lightning was it wrapped around their weapon tightly.
"Lightning storm."
Boom!
A deep crater appeared on the battlefield as all the surrounding hordes where turned into smithereens.
Huh!
Susan gasped as the attack had taken a toil on her body. She panted, looking at the never ending stream of hordes.
'Where are they coming from!' She shouted in her heart. They have been fighting the hordes for past half an hour and number of fourth grade horde never decreased.
It was not only Susan that was having that thought, Kira and Merab were stunned by the arm of the fourth grade hordes.
Previously, they were assaulted by many crawlers which frustrated them to no end and now. The fourth grade hordes continued to pour out of gods no where.
As they were in despair on how to handle the stream of horde, a bang came from the other side of the battle as Grandpa Philip staff rammed into the chest of the hordes, breaking their ribs with blood splashing out their mouth.
In a split of second, more than 10 hordes had been killed. He raised his head and looked at the others and grinned.
"You want to enjoyed the party without inviting me…." He chuckled as he dugs a huge sickle and sent him flying with his weapon.
"You came at the right moment." Kira let out a sigh of relief and continued.
"Merab support the old man while I and Susan will pair."
Quickly, the hordes were push back as the combination of the four were in perfect sync. They help each other and their pressure lessen a lot.
Grandpa Philip didn't need to worry of sneak attack as Merab arrows were deadly as ever, killing everything that came near him.
Buzz!
A golden light came from the sky and fell to the center of the battle. Seeing this, the expression of the human turned into a bright smile.
Nika exhausted expression turned into a bright smile as all his hidden injury healed at a breathtaking speed.
"Finally?" He rushed forward when his heavenly blessing completed.
Boom!
A golden fist appeared in the air sending tens of third grade hordes flying, killing them on the spot.
'The difference is huge' He exclaimed deep in his heart.
Far from the battlefield, a giant horde looked at the battle in the horizon with an unsightly expression.
"These human are dangerous than I imagine." He muttered, looking at the two desert worm beside him.
The abyssal desert worm was the king pet and battle companion. With the three together, they are invincible in the desert.
"Let me show you why no human can ever defeat us."
Buzz!
He sunk into the desert with his pet and disappeared like he never exist in the first place.
On the battlefield, the moral of the human were high as Nika didn't join Kira and the others. He continued to massacre the thirds grade hordes , making the battle easier for the others.
Suddenly, the golden marks on Kira and Susan heads glowed for a moment. The two stopped their attack and looked at each other.
'Danger!'
"Retreat!" They shouted in unison.
What!
Everyone was surprised by the order and wandered what the hell was going on. Nevertheless, the human didn't questioned the order and tried to retreat from the hordes.
Unfortunately, the horde didn't give them the chance as they threw their body to their path, trying to obstruct their retreat. Although they didn't know how they human knew of their king presence. They won't allow them to retreat after killing their brethren.
"Retreat quickly." Kira attack turned into frenzy killing everything on he path. "Use everything to retreat now!"
Buzz!
"Too late"
Two massive desert worm came out the sand. They have length of 100 meters with their circle mouth full of sharp interwoven blades.
Buzz!
A powerful suction force came from the worms, creating tornadoes, sucking the humans into their mouth.
Seeing this, despair filled their heart as they struggle against the powerful suction force but it was no avail as tens of weaker human were sucked him.
Susan and Kira had an unsightly expression their faces as they firmly fixed their foot on the ground. Without father ado, the duo closed their eyes and initiate the soul sharing.
At once, the three circle on their head turned to five and the air around them vibrated. When the struggle people saw they were astounded and a traces of hope appeared deep in their heart. Thus, the fight the sucking force with all their might.
"Lightning wrapper"
"Lightning storm!" Susan levitated from the ground while bolt of lightning flashes throughout body.
"Blood drain!"
"Heart piercer" Kira also levitated from the ground two power strike came out of her spear.
Seeing the magnificent four attack overlapping each other, everyone suck in a cold breath as the attack flew toward the massive worms.
Sensing a threat, the worms halt their attack and looked at incoming with their body trembling. The wailed loudly and prepared to escaped into the sand.
Bang!
Suddenly, a giant ax appeared from the sand and cut the deadly four attack into two as if they were nothing.
Buzz!
A five meter horde appeared from the ground, looking at Susan and Kira with contempt.
"Is this all you strength?" he said in human language. "I won't kill you but turn you into my favorite crawlers. The previous ones are weaker but with you two. I won't need to come out to deal with measly human again."
Hearing this, the slight hope in the heart of the human was replaced with despair. However, the expression of Susan, Kira and some people didn't change when they saw the horde king.
"Why… are you… not… scared" Robert asked with some difficulty as he was fighting against the suction power.
"You know now."
Buzz!
The atmosphere on the battlefield changed suddenly and those under the powerful suction force was released easily.
"I like you try" A calm voice reverberated everywhere.
