Chapter 75 - 75: Down
"The attack didn't harm us in the least, atleast not the way you are thinking. However, it did something even worse. It attracted the attention of the Dungeon Dwellers on us."
"We have no choice but to join the battle now. Atleast if we don't want to be surrounded by the beasts, unable to get out," Weston said before he stepped out as well.
The Warrior facepalmed himself as if he was embarassed for not being able to understand such a basic thing while everyone else understood. He also stepped out of the car.
As soon as the Variants of the Red Eagles Guild stepped out of the armored vehicles, they saw more than hundred beasts coming towards them.
The Armored Gorilla, Silver Tigers and Skeleton Soldiers were running towards the Red Eagles Guild while the rest of the beasts stayed behind.
....
Lucifer had fired the lightning bolt to attract the beasts' attention towards the Red Eagles Guild which gave the Chimera Eagles a chance chance to attack Lucifer. That small timeframe was enough for them to attack Lucifer.
The Chimera Eagles opened their mouths and fired a bright ray of light towards Lucifer.
The bright lazer zoomed through space and time as it advanced towards Lucifer, who had just turned back to look towards the Eagles after attacking the Red Eagles Guild vehicles.
Lucifer's body seemed to be suspended in time as he felt like his speed was much slower than the barrage of attacks that were coming towards him from all sides.
As the attacks were coming from all Chimera Eagles, the ray of white light spread everywhere, making it impossible for Lucifer to dodge by moving left or right.
Having experienced the might of these attacks, Lucifer knew that these lasers were not something that could be taken lightly. However, he was having a hard time thinking about what he could do at the moment. The time was proving to be his enemy in the efforts of saving himself.
"I must control the wind! I need to go up! That's the only way to survive!" he exclaimed, clenching his fist. He realized that dodging left or right wasn't an option. The only way he could survive was going up.
Focusing all his mind on the wind element, he tried to push his body even higher despite not having enough control over his wind energy.
Despite all his efforts, he wasn't able to control that. Even now, he knew that he couldn't go any higher. After trying for so long, he was able to master flying just a little above ground.
Using the help of his strength when jumping, he was able to come so high. Moving forward without falling instantly was already proving to be the limitation of his control.
Failing to go up, he felt like only one option was left. The option he found viable was to go down.
Lucifer stopped using his abilities to keep himself balanced in the air. Raising his hand towards the sky, he tried to help the gravity with whatever little bit of control he had.
His body started falling, getting closer and closer to the ground each second; however, he was too slow.
The bright lasers that came out of the mouths of the Chimera Eagles impaled his body. His chest was pierced by multiple lasers that penetrated his body, leaving holes in his body that allowed one to see through them.
"Urgh!" Blood came out of Lucifer's lips as he let out a pained grunt. He had a terrifying control over his pain, which helped him against it so far, keeping his senses alert in situations where a normal person would've lost their consciousness already.
He didn't even let out his scream as his body was pierced through. As he had managed to let gravity do its job without resisting, his body crashed on the ground in the midst of all the beasts on the ground.
Having dealt with Lucifer, the chimera Eagles continued flying towards the bunch of the Red Eagles guild members who were busy dealing with half of the beasts that were already bombarding them.
"That bastard! He's already down! Let alone him dealing with most of the beasts; it is happening completely opposite. We are taking most of the brunt of attacks!" the Red Eagles Guild Sorcerer Weston exclaimed as he formed a semi-transparent barrier around one of his teammates to protect them from the explosive silver orbs that were coming out of the Silver Tiger's mouth.
" That bastard can't die from this much! He'll be up soon! We have seen enough of that monster to know what is going to happen!" Another member of the Red Eagles Guild replied.
He was standing behind everyone else as he happened to be the person who didn't have any fighting abilities.
He was a Sorcerer who had the elemental power of Mind Sync. He was able to form a link between fellow teammates of the Red Eagles Guild so that each of them could talk to each other using their thoughts despite being far away from each other.
It was an efficient way to ensure that the Guild Members could fight in sync, which was needed when battling against the big hordes of beasts.
He was kept in the back since he was going to die first with his ability if he was ahead of others.
"What does it matter! The beasts that are surrounding his body won't give him a chance. His body will be eaten before he can heal!"
"Even if he healed and started fighting, it won't help us with the beasts that are facing us. Please focus on the battles in front of us! We can only hope that he can delay the rest of the beasts and don't get eaten easily," the acting leader of the guild, Saele, said as he fired what seemed like water bullets from his palm towards the Giant Armored Gorillas.
The water bullets were made from water. However, they were capable of penetrating any normal human body, killing them instantly. Despite all that, the water bullet failed to penetrate the Armored Gorilla's body with the armor it had around its skin.
