BXBX NOVEL Chapter 547 The Battle Of The Holy Island (4)
Rumble!
The ground shook violently and the entire temple complex shuddered! The movement from underneath gave everyone, even the people of the temple, cold shivers.
But to Kayden and the rest it was a great wave of despair.
They were facing an army several times greater than their number with their bodies already injured and exhausted.
Now underneath them were the curse beasts who could easily suppress an a-class mage!
Abaddon and Gabriel gritted their teeth and stood on their ground. No matter what, an enemy falling to their sword and spear would be another innocent life being saved.
"Put away your struggle and accept your deaths." Rashnu glared at them coldly as several beasts rushed to their side.
Nrrrrrrrr
Large beasts thrice the size of a human. With spiky dark violet fur and razor-sharp fangs that were aggressively shown.
These beasts had blazing red eyes, and looking at the enemies with salivating mouths gave everyone a fright.
"Fight… even if we are in a losing battle! Those who stayed alive because of our sacrifice are deemed worth it!"
Facing the terrifying wave of the enemy, an uncorrupted administrator gathered all of his mana and stood without hesitation.
So what if we die in this temple?
If it is their time, then it is their time!
At Least until the end, they remained pure in the eyes of heaven.
Their hearts, minds, body…. Their very own life has been lived all for the Creator they swore to worship and serve!
"Fight!" The administrator\'s words ignited the hearts of their comrades. Even those whose limbs were no longer complete used their mouths to hold the blade and kill.
If those who were now under the protection of the righteous saw the sacrifice of these men, tears would flow like a river as much as the blood these heroes shed.
Kayden, Nalu, and the rest of the Green Wave folks did not allow for the uncorrupted temple men to die in vain.
They unleashed their most powerful moves and spells and supported their allies while they took down their enemies.
"These people! They are like ants struggling against the giants!" Ecanus could only curse while he wielded his sword vigilantly.
He stayed on the Cardinal\'s side while Rashnu and Uriel fought with Abaddon.
"Cardinal, the beasts have fully emerged from the laboratory, I believe we can already lead you to the safe place underground."
After cursing at his enemies, Ecanus immediately fulfilled his duties and asked the Cardinal to return to the safe place until the battle was over.
Judging from the situation, the safest place in the temple was the most secret part of the underground laboratory. Thus, it only makes sense for Him to lead the Cardinal there.
"Alright… let us head over. I believe that with the beasts, the fight will be over." The Cardinal looked at the current situation and became relieved.
The enemy was finally pushed to the corner with no way out. There\'s no more reason for him to feel uneasy.
Without delaying any further, Ecanus led the Cardinal toward the safest corner of the battlefield to retreat to the refuge.
Boom!
Just as they thought that they had already steered clear of danger, the path in front of them was suddenly blasted into smithereens!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Before they could react even further, another series of blasts occurred behind them. If not for them quickly covering themselves with defensive spells, their internal organs would have burst due to the shock waves.
The proximity of blasts was just a few meters away from them, if they weren\'t quick-witted, their injuries would have been severed.
"D*mn!" Ecanus immediately scanned his surroundings and tried to figure out who was the culprit of the blasts.
In the end, he was unable to see them, for everyone on the battlefield from the enemy side was already full of multiple men and monsters rebuilding them.
Little did he know that the culprits were the earth fairies who were tasked by Eli to monitor the battlefield and prevent any official retreat in the underground laboratory.
"Chi.." The earth fairies flew from afar and became visibly frail, it seems like the act of blasting the ground was already too much for them to do multiple times.
However, to them, it looks like it is worth it because now, Ecanus and the Cardinal were already frantically looking around for any enemy that was sneaking to target them.
In effect, the escape of the two was delayed temporarily.
Even so, the situation on the battlefield was not optimistic. The number of the fallen on the Green Wave and uncorrupted temple knight\'s side was already getting larger and larger.
Kayden had a dark expression on his face.
He did not mind dying on this battlefield, however, he knew that Eli was still inside the laboratory, doing her best to find the secret behind all of the Spectre\'s wrongdoing.
And so, just for her sake, he had to fight not until death but to survive!
Clash! Ching!
He rushed once again to the battlefield and immediately laced his sword with the most potent poison he had in his hand.
It was too bad because he could not use poison largely, because their allies had no antidote. If all of them had more than a week to prepare, then maybe he had time to prepare for the mass production of the antidote.
That way, he could use poison on a large scale without affecting the allies.
But the reality is harsh and war does not wait!
So all he could do was weaken the enemies around him by lacing poison through their wounds.
His first targets were the beasts who were clearly the most troublesome opponent on the battlefield just second to the Captains.
Slash!
Kayden used a huge amount of wind power and even took away his disguise as Dr. Einz to fully wield the power of his half-elf side.
Embracing his true appearance, he looked like a dangerous yet alluring elf, with the bloody wounds on his face and body being complemented by the contrasting innate elegance of an elf.
But more than that, his speed is like the wind!
As soon as he used his power, his body would leave an afterimage before appearing to his next target.
With this might, he was able to lace poison to nearly half of the monster beast!
\'More… I need to poison more animals!\' Kayden\'s eyes glimmered in a ruthless light.
He used yet another canister of his potent poison, lacing it once again to his sword.
Swoosh!
Then his figure flashed again to the targets.
However, all of these things were not missed by Ecanus who was currently looking for the culprit of the sudden blast.
"Cardinal, I have found the culprit. I apologize for not escorting you further, but I\'ll see to it that this man would no longer hinder your retreat!" Ecanus immediately informed the Cardinal while his eyes locked at the locations Kayden was appearing.
In his mind, only with the speed of Kayden would the attacks earlier be explained.
"Alright. I\'ll wait for the good news." The Cardinal also looked in Kayden\'s direction and a trace of understanding appeared on his face. He also had the same conclusion as Ecanus.
In the end, he moved forward, while Ecanus flashed to meet Kayden\'s sword.
"Chi!!! Chi!!" The earth fairies saw the Cardinal continue heading towards the underground pathway without hindrance and they immediately panicked.
With their mana already exhausted, there were mere moths to the Cardinal\'s sight. So all they could do was to contact Eli to make haste as the enemy was about to reach the entrance to the underground laboratory.
Inside the restricted room Eli, Baobao, and Wisey were now almost at their wit\'s end because they could not really see any mechanism nor anything unusual in the stone bed and in the entire laboratory room.
"Could this be all that we could know and see? What about the corpses of the asanis?" Eli could not help but be frustrated.
"Instead of being here… let\'s just go to the surface and help big brother and the rest. The earth fairies said that the situation on the battlefield is no longer optimistic.
"Eli chan, we can\'t give up like this! We are already here… let\'s be more patient."
"But the more we stay here, the more lives will be lost on our side." Eli shook her head and frowned,
"I know I can do something for them even if I don\'t join the fight… I can heal them and give them buff blessings… though that would mean that I will be exposed."
"Wait… Eli-chan, what did you say you can do again?" Wisey seemed to have thought of something and asked Eli.
"Can I heal them and give them buff blessings?" Eli replied confused, "But it will expose my identity…"
"That\'s it! Let\'s cast a blessing on the battlefield!!!" Wisey exclaimed.
She flew on Eli\'s side and continued,
"Isn\'t this a good opportunity?! We are directly below them! In short, we are still technically IN the battlefield!
With that, you can stay here and continue searching, while also helping the allies outside without exposing your identity!"
