Chapter 486 Relocation
Basil raised his hand and ordered, "Escort them!"
His voice didn't possess even a hint of urgency, but those who heard it had a great urge to comply. Adhering to Basil's command, the Pacifer Servants separated themselves from the army and went to escort the Pacifer civilians. At the same time, Basil and the Pacifer Warriors joined the rank.
The army was quite a bit surprised upon getting a backup comprised fully of women but didn't underestimate them. The intimidatingly shining Pacifer Seal on the female Warriors' forehead aside, their crushing pressure was enough indication that they weren't a group to be trifled with.
They were still curious, though. They could tell the women that Basil brought with him were the surviving Pacifer Clan, but they couldn't understand why there were only women. They had heard about the Pacifer Clan but didn't know the details. None of them knew that the Pacifer women could only give birth to females.
"We will push the Demons back today."
Their curiosity was quickly drowned out by Basil's declaration. Basil had always made what he said come true, so his declaration pumped the army's spirit up. As soon as they saw Basil's back in front of them, they forgot their fatigue. They roared in excitement and moved their bodies with more vigour.
Basil dashed through the ranks of Demons as if they weren't even there. The Pacifer Warriors followed closely behind. They didn't even attack once, but the Demons whom they shot past dropped dead. It was a bewildering scene for everyone but a nostalgic scene for the watching Pacifer Servants. The Pacifers were adept at attacking their enemies mentally.
At one point, the Hina Dmitra stopped following Basil. They clasped their hands and erected a massive Barrier which they powered with Natural Mana. The Barrier separated the area that they had passed from the area that Basil and others were heading. Once the Barrier was stabilized, they turned around and faced the Demons whom they had passed.
As their Pacifer Seals shone brightly in white, the Demons they were facing became agitated. The Demons quickly fell victim to the Hina Dmitra who didn't hesitate to obliterate the Demons with their Spells. The army was astonished but didn't merely stand and watch. They were also coming for the Demons and therefore they could tell that the Demons had been weakened.
Crackle!
As the army was busy taking advantage of the weakened Demons, the Qilin flashed through the battlefield and joined Basil's side in the blink of an eye. Iliana, Ione, Xander, Cyrus and the Maha Dmitra were quite shocked by its appearance but not worried about it. Without Basil telling them anything, they knew the Qilin was on his side.
"This battlefield lacks a strong opponent, young lad!" the Qilin roared mirthfully. "I have been having fun, but it is not enough. They are nigh endless but too easy to kill."
"Don't worry. The future fight will bring more strong Demons before us," Basil assured casually. "You may have to risk your life to win the fight."
"That is more like it!"
Basil took out Caliburn and raised it into the air. He abruptly stopped in his tracks, causing the people following behind him to scatter and letting the golden lightning from the sky hit Caliburn. The Qilin positioned itself behind Basil and stayed still as he surrounded himself with golden lightning. The lightning crackled madly, violently vibrating everyone's eardrums.
The lightning surrounding the Qilin struck Basil's body and travelled to Caliburn. Golden lightning pillars emerged from the ground and then surrounded the Qilin and Basil like a protective barrier. The Qilin opened his mouth, forming a destructive golden ball of lightning. The lightning running through their bodies got more intense because of the action.
Crack!
As the Qilin released his golden lightning ball, Basil released a beam of golden lightning from Caliburn. The two attacks merged before they made contact with any of the Demons. The lightning ball expanded meanwhile the lightning beam spread out like tree roots. The Demons' scream of terror was soon washed off by the crackling sound of lightning.
Clank!
With that said, though, Zepar still didn't hold any advantage over Basil. He could still thwart Vagus' ability easily. As a Pacifer, his soul was exceptionally strong and his mental defence was absurdly solid. Zepar needed to do more than that to make [Derailing Charm] take effect.
"[Derailing Charm]!"
On the other hand, Basil could easily influence Zepar with the same Technique.
"Blasphemous!"
Zepar was momentarily caught off guard by the pleasure-filled illusion that [Derailing Charm] gave him. By the time he regained clarity, Caliburn had already cut his chest twice. He frantically teleported himself away but failed to maintain his footing. As a result, he sprawled on the ground as soon as he reappeared.
"You dare use my Curse against me, Pacifer!" He screamed at Basil who quickly appeared beside him.
Basil merely drove Durendal and Caliburn into the sprawled Zepar, ignoring him completely. Zepar gritted his teeth and cast another [Teleportation]. Much to his shock, he found the Spell not working. Realizing the space in his surroundings had been sealed in the next moment, he spat a ball of Miasma at Basil's face.
Squelch!
Durendal and Caliburn pierced through Zepar at the same time his Miasma ball hit Basil's face. Zepar spewed out a mouthful of blood, but Basil remained unharmed. The Miasma ball fell harmlessly from his face. Zepar couldn't believe what he saw. He refused to believe there was a Mana Barrier strong enough to block his Miasma ball up close.
"Ah, fuck it!" He came to a decision. "You will beg for your life the next time we meet, Pacifer!" He would sacrifice a part of his soul to escape.
Poof!
Compared to the intensity of the Miasma, the sound that the Demonic Art produced was underwhelming. Despite that, what it did was amazing. Zepar easily escaped Basil's confinement. Basil couldn't even do anything to prevent it.
"Well, that is interesting."
Unfortunately for Zepar, Basil didn't need to stop him.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
"What...?"
As soon as he reappeared in the sky a few kilometres away, thousands of swords pierced through his body. He could only stare at Basil in disbelief before the swords impaling him exploded, thus destroying his body.Read latest chapters at novelhall.com Only
