Chapter 983: CHAPTER 952 STALLING FOR TIME

He can’t believe that someone would just scream the weakness of their abilities without any reservation or trap, he shook his head and decided to use this opportunity to escape, there are three Gold Rank members on the enemy side.

Meanwhile, on their side, there are only two Gold Rank fighters, not to mention, there is also the goblin king that is capable of a mental ability that is quite beneficial for monsters but a fatal threat to humans.

Humans use their rationality and intelligence to fight against monsters that are naturally born capable of absorbing Mana and could instinctively use their skills to nearly their outmost proficiency.

Without their minds, humans would lose 90% of their strength, Shadowslash had already discovered that the number of monsters present only continue to increase, if he doesn’t make a move soon, then, the lives of the two children would be endangered.

He can escape with ease all by his own but he can’t leave behind his two teammates, he is responsible for taking them here, he should be responsible for bringing them home, he clenches his fist tightly as he sensed something strange.

‘Sh*t! We’re trapped, no wonder this demon is so arrogant.’ He thought as he felt a barrier surrounding their location, the barrier is something that he cannot break unless he force his body to take his bloodline which would be extremely detrimental.

“General, it seems that we are trapped, please calm your soldiers down as I calm down the mercenaries that would at least prove useful for our current situation.” The general who was struggling to keep himself calm had his head cleared.

.....

He was stunned but he quickly reacted, he unsheathed his sword and let’s out a loud cry that awakens his soldiers, unlike the mercenaries, the soldiers are disciplined, even though they are losing themselves, one shout from their commanding officer would bring their rationality back.

Shadowslash returns back to his group and he puts his hand on the two elves calming them down, he then said “Inform the vice guild master to calm the mercenaries down, the demon is still waiting for it’s reinforcement, it wouldn’t immediately make a move.”

The two girls were stunned but they quickly reacted, they ran towards the vice guild master with anxiety written on their face.

When they finally saw the state of the vice guild master, their expression became blank, the haughty and perverted Gold Rank fighter of their guild is now trembling as he focus on the demon.

His lips quivers as he repeatedly say “It’s over, it’s over, it’s over.”

The two felt despair, they can’t believe that the strongest fighter of their guild present right now is trembling like a coward, the demon looks at him and felt disdain.

He focus more on the general and decided to make a move against him “Goblin King, I’ll leave that pathetic coward to you, I’ll deal with that fellow.”

He took out a jagged swords that looks extremely menacing with a battle cry, he charges towards the general, the expression of the soldiers became pale but none of them retreated.

Boom! With a loud explosion, the demon was forced to stop, Shadowslash floats in front of him carrying two swords.

Upon seeing this scene, everyone was stunned, Shadowslash shouted “The two of you support me! General I’ll stall this demon as long as I can, we must win this battle.”

Actually, he doesn’t want to fight against this demon but he was forced to do so as he knows that he is the only one capable of fighting against him, he is well versed in the way of demonic Qi.

He also could use light and holy element, together with his battle experience, he might be able to hold on long enough for the general to take down a stupid brute like an ogre.

He had seen the reaction of the vice guild master and honestly, he felt disgusted, the expression of the demon became unsightly, a human that isn’t even a ranker dares to fight against it, the insult made it’s blood boil.

“Die pipsqueak.” Shadowslash quickly spun and slashes at the demon’s eyes, the attack was beautiful, he look so elegant but unfortunately, the demon quickly reacted.

It let’s out a roar that throws Shadowslash back but it didn’t truly harms him, the two elves looks at each other and nodded.

They shot at the demon pissing it off but before it could make a move against them, Shadowslash charges towards it and fires two sword Qi made up of Mana, spirit Qi and light element.

The two sword Qi targeted the eyes of the demon, with it’s instinct, it quickly evaded but a line of black blood drips on it’s face where the sword Qi passes through.

It’s started laughing “You know, I have thought that I’ll only be able to kill some pathetic humans that would be the stepping stone of our grand mission, who would have thought.”

Licking the blood that drips near it’s mouth “Even I didn’t expect to encounter such a brave and young genius of the human race, killing you would be worth my time.”

His speed instantly threefold, Shadowslash quickly dodges but the sharp sword torn his clothes, fortunately, his instinct during his past glory is still intact on his soul, if not he would have already died from that attack.

The demon didn’t stop, he continue to relentlessly attack it’s target, the two elven sisters shot arrows after arrows to help Shadowslash.

Upon seeing the situation, the general knew that they still have a chance “My men! Quickly eradicate our enemy!”

The soldiers charge towards the goblins, the mercenaries looks at their temporary leader and felt disappointed, suddenly, little fatty who doesn’t have any courage before shouted “Everyone work together, Aniki wouldn’t last long against that demon, we must eradicate the monsters quickly.”

“If not, all of us will die on the hands of that demon.”

One of the mercenary shouted “Screw that, I’m outta here!”

He quickly bolted towards the direction of the city, quickly the other mercenaries also follows, what is much more depressing is that, even the vice guild master flee.

Little fatty shook his head, the mercenaries that stays became indignant but none of them think of retreating, they hold their weapons tightly and prepares to go all out.

Little fatty looks at them and said “Don’t worry about those that were fleeing, according to Aniki, other than monsters, humans cannot enter or leave this area!”

One of the old mercenaries was stunned, he quickly asks “What do you mean young one?”

Little Fatty didn’t answer and only looks at the fleeing people, instantly when they reached a certain distance from the cave, they seemingly bumps into an invisible wall, the transparent barrier turns red and the mercenaries that are the closest started crying or howling in pain.

They burst into a bloody pulp causing the expression of those that have stayed to become pale.

“Battlefield of death!” Those that were knowledgeable quickly managed to identify what type of barrier it was.

They became pale, meanwhile, Little Fatty started trembling, he knows what kind of barrier the [Battlefield Of Death] is.

It is a domain like existence that was created by the demons, it’s primary usage is a one on one battle, seldomly would a demon use it to fight against multiple individuals.

It uses a type of law that would restrict those that were chosen making them incapable of escaping.

Seeing the trembling Little Fatty, the mercenaries realised that he has no prior knowledge regarding the barrier.

“Young one, doesn’t your leader know what type of barrier it was?”

Little Fatty shook his head “He only told me that because of the barrier, he is forced to take drastic measure.”

“He is actually planning to escape before the barrier was set up but after sensing the entire surrounding was blocked, he decided to fight to buy us some time.”

Little Snow that was silent throughout this time spoke “Actually, I think big brother could escape by himself but when he looks at the two of us, he sighed and charge towards the demon.”

“He didn’t say anything but I think that he is determined to bring the two of us alive.”

The mercenaries were shocked but they looks at each other and nodded, they quickly surrounds Little Fatty “We will protect the two of you.”

The mercenaries became afraid that if these two children get harmed, Shadowslash who was their only hope would escape, they might not believe anyone saying that they will escape the [Battlefield Of Death] but for someone that could use light element.

It is possible, there are already events that involves a light paladin being able to escape the [Battlefield Of Death.]

Back to where Shadowslash is, he and the demon have already exchange more than one hundred blows, him mostly dodging, the demon on the other hand focuses only on attacking.

After suffering some sneak attack from it’s opponent, the demon learned it’s lesson and ignores the arrows and solely focus on the small individual that gave him so much headache.
