Chapter 108.Attack On Gera City [2]

Boom!

Jake lifted his hand, and a thick, black sphere covered his body. Both attacks nullified each other.

Seeing the demon dealing with his strongest divine spell with such ease, Pachel's eyes went wide.

He and Orpheus suddenly felt extremely cold at this moment. It was as if their bones were frozen. They both retreated while shuddering. The wyvern had used Chilly Aura.

Jake clicked his tongue. If he hadn't been pridefully sitting atop this monster, he would have been affected as well.

Whoosh!

A barrage of fire arrows converged on him. They were extremely fast to the point Jake couldn't use any defensive skills. His Negation Aura nullified most of them, but some still cut through his hands and waist.

As he used [Minor Regeneration] on himself, Droge flew down and used Sonic Roar.

Calliya, who had thrown those attacks, immediately covered her ears, and closed her eyes. The flesh on her body vibrated as the shock waves passed through the air.

The roar swept away the fleeing people. It destroyed the houses and roads.

Against such a monster, even the adventurers gathered were thinking about fleeing.

''Do not waver! We must defend the city with our life.'' It was the voice of the city guard's captain.

The paladin fighting Jake looked in that direction and sighed. That was the valor, the courage he wanted in men. But right now, he wished they just ran.

This opponent wasn't something they could handle. If only… If only Sir Jacob or Sir Bors were here. This wyvern wouldn't be wreaking such havoc. Ah, was this going to be his grave…?

''Hah… No!'' Orpheus realized he had lost his will for a moment. What had happened? Why had he thought like this?

Boom!

An explosion rang out and enveloped him. The paladin flew away, his armor bruised, blood leaking out of his mouth. Jake had used Emotion Manipulation, and it had good effects.

''Now!'' Panchel shouted at the priests and priestess below. A milky white light rose from the church's spire and formed a half sphere.

Jake had been occupied by that archer, and was unable to interrupt the process. It happened in ten quick seconds.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Tens of clerics bent their knees and assumed a prayer position. Seeing this, Jake immediately told Dorge to attack the church's building using its full strength.

He then spread his wings and swiped his scythe at the bishop.

Ting!

That milky white half-sphere repelled him. Jake flapped his wings and flew high up. At this moment, the wyvern opened its enormous mouth.

To the bishops and other clerics' horror, it was about to use a breath attack.

''Take cover!''

The paladin rushed and plunged his lance on the ground. The milky white half-sphere seemed to be empowered by his Divine Powers. It looked less translucent now.

Ssss…

An extremely cold, blue vapor shot from Droge's mouth and started freezing the shield.

[Icicle Rain]!

Jake compounded that attack with his own. The sharp shards of ice broke the moment they landed on the half-sphere formed of pure divine powers.

The anxious bishop realized that the breath attack still hadn't broken the holy shield. He turned around and flew to the center of the town. Many people were fleeing south.

He closed his eyes and used [Mass Placate].

''No, you won't!'' Jake caught this scene with his dark eyes. He circled the entire city at his full speed to enter it from the other side, becoming a dark ray of light.

Rwarrgghh!

Droge flapped its large wings, creating a tremendous gust of wind which hit the shield.

The clerics chanting below shuddered, blood leaking from their lips. Their eyes had warm tears as they looked at the sky, waiting for a miracle, a help from god.

However, none of that happened. The monster attacked them with greater ferocity and finally broke their turtle shell.

The church knights slammed their shields in front of the clerics. But it was all futile. With another cry from the wyvern, they were swept away.

However, this was a roar of pain. Droge swiped its tail at Orpheus who had attacked one of its legs.

The paladin's lance filled with divine power had pierced through its scales and dug deep into its flesh. Blood leaked from the monster's hide as it threw Orpheus away.

The green-haired man landed hard on the ground, creating a dent. Cracks spread from the area he was slammed on.

''Ack!'' He coughed a mouthful of dark red blood. That strength… It made him feel powerless.

Still, Orpheus tried standing up. One thing about paladins was that they had extremely high wills. Unless they were injured to the point they could not control their bodies, they would not give up.

''Aaarggh!'' The paladin clenched his teeth, blood leaking from his jaws. He lifted himself from the ground and pointed his lance at the sky, where the Terror Monster was flying.

A ray of holy light shot from the tip of his weapon. Droge roared and opened its mouth wide, shooting another Frost Breath to counter that attack.

From the other side, Jake could see an epic scene of two beams fighting for superiority. It was beautiful in a sense. However, after five seconds of stalemate, the wyvern began winning. It was expected.

Jake swiped his scythe at the empty air and flew straight toward the bishop. Panchel was trying to make the people pray after placating them. If that happened, another holy shield would rise from the church's spire.

Jake had a hunch that it would be much more difficult to attack them if that happened.

[Shadow Spears]!

At all costs, he must not let that happen. Jake quickly attacked as soon as he came within the bishop's minimum range.

The dark spears made of his evil mana cut through the chaotic air of this city and landed on Panchel's back. When using an Area-of-Effect skill, clerics were the most vulnerable.

''No!'' Calliya shouted from the ground. Orphaned at a young age, Panchel had looked after her. Seeing her father-figure falling from the sky broke her heart.

With immense fury, she lifted her bow again and pointed at the night sky. Biting her lips, she finally used her racial ability which she had been hesitant to use.

[Storm's Judgment]!

When the dark blue arrow left her bow, it shot straight to the sky and not the demon. Immediately, dark clouds began gathering and lightning boomed.

A moment later, long spears made of wind and thunder rained down on the city. Jake was in the middle of it.
