Chapter 156 Fighting The Twin

“Sorry, but I refuse to be friends with the likes of you. I don’t **** children, you see.”

“In that case, die!”

The heavy crossbows fired bolts after bolts wrapped in lightning. Maverick threw a scroll that burned in the air, casting a red, transparent shield over them. The bolts bounced off the shield. The majority of the bolts went towards Xer Xai, slightly penetrating her scales and skin.

“Keep attacking the monster!”

Aldred laughed. The bolts did nothing to hurt Xer Xai because she was an undead. Even if she was destroyed, Aldred could summon her again without any cost.

Xer Xai roared, sending out a wave of powerful wind that shook the wall. The army was pushed back a couple steps just by the wind alone.

“What a powerful roar. Just the wind itself is enough to push our formation.”

Xer Xai fired a couple purple energy balls that exploded upon contact.

BOOM! Following the explosion, the 200 soldiers’ formation had fallen, and the steel gate was blown apart. The vibration alone even managed to destroy some parts of the fall, falling on many archers and large crossbowmen atop the wall.

“That is not a normal beast!” Baldus muttered in horror. “That’s a Xer Xai.”

Everyone’s face turned ashen as they trembled in fear.

Basically everyone in Thignia knew the legendary creature Xer Xai that haunted the land of Aringuerao. These creatures were considered gods by some, and even worshipped as true gods. Now that they realized they were facing such a legendary creature, the gang members started to falter.

“Surrender and you won’t be killed. Resist, and face my wrath!” Aldred said.

“Don’t listen to him!” Arnott said. “He is sent here by Lord Aleron. The one beside him is his son, Maverick. The noble will kill us for what we did in this county. We either fight or die trying.”

The gang members got their fighting spirit back after that. Since they would be killed, they will fight till the very end.

“Kill that beast first!” Baldus shouted.

The roar of battle cry came from inside the fortress and numerous warriors and magicians ran out of the gate.

The magicians raised their staff, and sent large boulders towards the creature.

“Xer Xai, you may wreak havoc.”

The creature pounced forward and slammed the warriors to smithereens. Every time she swiped her claws, dozens of warriors were killed.

Aldred turned the dead ones into undead and will only keep them after Lord Aleron finishes questioning them. He did not have any use for these dirty criminals.

Even as undead, they were not worthy.

Another dozen 7 meters long bolts shot at the creature but she ignored it. The magicians sent out fireballs, large boulders, and icy spears.

Aldred sent fire bullets to kill these magicians. His bullets were more powerful and precise than before, so when they cast magic shields to block, they shattered immediately.

“Lord Maverick, you better stop your friend or the Wildlings gang will retaliate against your family. Your rival noble house will surely be glad to support our battle against you.”

“I am not afraid of a mere gang. Aldred, please capture them.”

“You don’t have to say the word please to me.” Aldred smiled. He pointed both of his index fingers and fired numerous bullets like an A-10 Warthog.

All the targets got their limbs blown away. After a moment, all of them fell. His undead went to work immediately, pulling them inside his Divine Dimension.

The enemies screamed as they saw a hideous creature pulling them into the darkness.

Baldus and Arnott frowned.

They did not know where their subordinates were taken, but they now realized that the boy mastered space manipulation. And not only that, he was a necromancer, and also a magician.

They had never seen someone like that in their whole lives. The boy was an exotic existence. Usually, someone like that would never reach Diamond Rank. At most, they would reach Platinum.

But since they were so rare, they could be sold at high prices.

Baldus and Arnott’s frown turned into a grin.

“If we sell him we can make our base bigger and expand our operation to other regions,” Baldus said.

“Let’s take him. I think that Xer Xai is a fake one. If it’s real, we would be dead by now. But I think we can sell the creature too.”

“A lot of people in Thignia would be willing to buy that thing.”

Even though Aldred had defeated a lot of their subordinates which were at the Gold Rank, the rank could be divided into two types. Ordinary and Elite. An Elite Gold Rank could defeat dozens of Gold Rank at once.

This happened because it took a long time for everyone to break through Platinum, and so, the talented geniuses increased their strength through different ways.

Some Gold Rank were so powerful that they could even be considered pseudo-Platinum Rank. Although this term wasn’t that popular because Platinum Rank was still a lot more powerful.

“If we can capture the three of them, I am sure the boss will give us some treasure to help us achieve Platinum Rank, and be assigned to even more bases.”

“Let’s do it.”

The both of them leaped off the wall. Light shone on their hands, and a steel chain appeared.

Aldred smiled. “Xer Xai, stay here. Let me have fun with these two.”

Aldred dashed forward and slashed. Their clash sent out a powerful shockwave in every direction.

They landed on the ground, and the twins threw the chains at him. Aldred calmly walked forward as the two chains went past his ears.

Suddenly, the chain moved and tried to wrap around his head. Aldred ducked and attacked.

The three of them moved like a master. Even Maverick, an assassin type warrior, was impressed by their speed and precision.

Clang! Clang! Clang! The sound of metal against metal rang out, and Aldred was laughing while the twin brothers were gritting their teeth, struggling against his attacks.
