BXBX NOVEL Chapter 257 - Falling Enemies
The first explosion was already enough to disorient the soldiers and now the second tremor caused by the falling Lost had made them utterly dazed. The commander who had seen the entire thing from the start was speechless.
He had barely managed to stay standing as he took the support of the spear that he had. He stuck it in the ground and held up using that.
"Ten… ten soldiers killed… just from that…" The commander muttered as he saw the broken and mangled corpses of the soldiers near the crater.
Some of them were impaled by the falling Lost, while the rest of them were injured by the impact and the debris that was shot out due to the impact. It was enough to say it was shocking for everyone.
It was more so not because the soldiers were killed, but because the others were disoriented from the attack as well.
"ATTACK!" The Inanis family commander saw that the attacks of the enemy regiment from the west had become weaker and had even halted on some fronts and swiftly gave out the command.
"Kill them when they are down!"
"KILL THEM!!!"
"DON\'T GIVE THEM A CHANCE TO RECOVER!"
Various shouts were heard as the rage of the Inanis soldiers was displayed. They had been continually suppressed by the Drew Army and thus they were more than pissed from it. They had just been waiting for an opportunity like this and finally got it.
~BOOM~
Another explosion occurred in the north, pulling the attention of the enemy commander.
"Just what the hell is happening there?" he said.
~CLANG~
~DENG~
Unfortunately, he had made a mistake in being distracted like this. The other lost that were heading their way from the south had arrived and were now clewing their way into the center of the regiment.
The rolling lost ran over the enemy soldiers either knocking them down or directly crushing them. The Grey gas coming from its body also weakened the others and made them crippled.
The remaining three Lost simply used their maces and bodies to fight and broke through the ranks one by one.
Lucius who had been observing everything nodded his head.
"This seems to be going well… time to head to the other side." Lucius muttered.
He quickly got onto a horse and rushed to the northern side to observe the battle there. After about five minutes he reached the northern side and saw the lost wreaking havoc here as well.
"WHY DON\'T YOU FUCKERS JUST DIE!!!" A slim looking man shouted as his hands glowed in a blue light.
He thruster them forwards and icy cold winds shot out from his hands.
~WHOOSH~
The icy winds traveled at a great speed, spreading ice over the ground and slowing down the movement of the Lost that were coming towards him.
"Oh? He can actually slow them down? Interesting…" Lucius said while observing the five lost.
He had equally sent out five lost in each direction, it was just that the ones in the south were the first to appear while the ones in the north were second.
As for the ones in the West, they had yet to appear as Lucius didn\'t want to reveal his hand just yet. Still, now that the ones from the south were entering the western side, Lucius reckoned he might not need to call the others anyway.
He observed the slim man and slightly squinted his eyes as nexus activated.

Rank: Epic
Type: Emission / Physical
Other owners: Barret Boone, …(total: 74)
Seeing the epic ranked gift, Lucius was surprised. He had not expected for there to be an Epic Ranked gifted on the battlefield and was now on guard about there being more of them.
~BOOM~
Another explosion happened while observing them and Lucius finally saw how it actually happened.
"Oh, so it\'s him." Lucius saw another one of his lost.
~Cough~cough~cough~
The Lost lifted half of his mask and coughed out a thick phlegm. The amount of phlegm produced was simply ungodly and looked more like a mass of weird slime instead. It was also letting out fumes that did not look any good either.
It would then throw out this mass of phlegm at the enemy which would then explode on impact.
"So this is how they had been standing so long. If it were not for this lost the Ice gifted might have already caused a tone more problems." Lucius said in an understanding tone.
When the phlegm came in contact with the icy winds it would rapidly spread and then explode. The explosion would then block off the icy winds and also break any ice that was formed on the ground.
That was also the reason why several of the enemy soldiers in the northern regiment were already killed. Lucius looked around and only saw about half of the original three hundred soldiers left here.
And even these were currently split into two groups. One of them was facing three Lost. This was also the group that had the gifted with the ice gift. While the other group was facing the remaining two lost along with one other person.
"That\'s where the count is," Lucius said as he spotted a man moving through the enemies like a crane dancing in the water.
His movement was swift and every step was sure. His sword would pass through the enemies and cut them before they even had a chance to defend. Well… defending was not really an option anyway as their armors or weapons could not stop Phase.
Lucius\'s eyes gazed around the area and saw at least fifty of the enemy soldiers that had intact armors, yet bloodied bodies.
"Hmm… so he took all of these on his own… his Aether must be running out by now he has been using it constantly," Lucius muttered.
