Chapter 256 [Vol 2 Finale]: The Descent Of The Vaginarnis 6
"HOOORAAAHHHH!!!!"
Like a group of battle-hungry berserkers, Gae-bolg began attacking the shadows. Dylan quickly dashed as he lunged around like a ferocious beast. His movements made the air tremble and the ground broke with his every step.
Shadows died by the hundreds as they got pierced like swiss cheese. The son of Standar on the other hand fell to the ground. He had multiple broken bones and bled from holes all over. Yet as he struggled to stand up healing spells fell on his body.
"[Mend], [Heal], [Healing Bolt]! [Blessing Rain]!"
Unlike the first three, the last spell created a luminous rain that fell on the warriors of Gae-bolg. Hiro who similarly got coated by it, felt power returning to him.
- Alert: Heavenly Sword and its sub-harems have been recognized as an ally of Gae-Bolg -
- Alert: [Blessing Rain] refills 25% of Calibers and HP! Caliber regeneration rate increased by 100% for 60 minutes.-
The ones in front of Dylan's forces were Talvi and Leto. Gliding like she had skates, the shinobi sliced any stragglers that got passed her husband. Her large greatsword which had a tip as wide as an ax and cleaved shadows ruthlessly.
Meanwhile, Leto who was covered in plate armor walked slowly with her shield up. Accompanying her was an army of 300 spearmen who looked very much like Spartans.
They were in a phalanx formation as they stabbed, and sliced all the incoming shadows. Talvi then raised her sword as she shouted. "[Blessing of Vengeance]!"
At her cry, the Spartans all threw their spears like missiles. They then broke rank and rushed the shadows with their swords and shields. Like madmen, each warrior carved the shadows with their weapons illuminated in white light.
Following them were women in frilly dresses who carried staffs. Autumn and Vesna walked with this group as they channeled healing spells. They buffed the front line to the limit which allowed them to go crazy. Occasionally large-scale spells would assault the shadow forces.
As Hiro inspected the men and women of Dylan's battle harem, he noticed they were around level 30 to 50. Despite their levels, however, they had an average of 1200 points on their main stats.
Together with the mages and healers, even under-leveled they were able to quell the thousands of shadows in front of them. Hiro parked the idea for now and went to Aurum to checked on him.
"Standar! You okay?"
"Yes, master I am. I apologize for being unable to hold the line."
"Don't let it get to you. You are not dead, so get up and get stronger."
"Yes, Master."
Just then messages came in one after another.
[Tsugumi]: Nii-sama, Prince Dylan is annihilating the shadows in the south. Lars is returning to the north. And I am returning to the skies.
[Geo]: Master, the number of shadows at the north suddenly lessened to around five hundred. I believe they are preparing to swarm a side!
[Dragon]: I think they are going east, ugh, I can't get them off me!
Like a dance, the conditions of the battlefield changed by the minute. After being driven off from the west, the shadows swarmed the east. Hiro quickly gave instructions to his men.
[Hiro]: Tsugumi and Lars, go reinforce the east side. We will leave the west to Gae-bolg and the south to Dylan. Geo, I am sending Aurum to you. Rest in this period. After I confirm with Gae-bolg I will similarly head east.
With over 20 kilometers even for system users sprinting they needed a few minutes to reposition. Aurum who received his instructions quickly ran towards the north battle ground.
Hiro went towards Vesna Dylan's second in command to update her.
"Lady Vesna, please protect the pillars, my wives are undergoing a ritual to increase their strenght."
"Understood Lord Hiro, Autumn already gave us a general idea of what is going on. According to her, they should be completed in a few minutes. When they are free, we will withdraw."
"Withdraw? Why?"
"Starfall is currently destroying Partisan under the guise of evacuating our citizens. While they are not murdering humans, their intention is to render the city uninhabitable."
As Hiro heard the words of the beautiful woman in front of him, gratitude flowed out to his body. "I will remember this favor. Thank you."
Autumn who noticed Hiro quickly ran and made a sloppy salute. "Do not mention it, lord Hiro! Jade is of the Gracyeanor, we naturally have to stick together!"
Before Hiro could reply, another group of people approached. "Master! We got here as fast as we could. Please allow us to assist!"
"Alan? Xing? Hach? This battle is too much for you all, go back. The shadows are vicious and need at least [Adept] at the minimum to fight them. Among you, only Xing is above the [Initiate] rank! Fall back!"
At the brutal words of the butcher, the group frowned in displeasure. But they knew it was an objective assessment. Xing then clapped her hands as she spoke.
"Fighting isn't the only thing needed in war master! Alan and I have brought curatives and caliber tonics. We will set up a resting area around the ladies! Please allow us to do so."
Currently, the four sides operated independently. With a safe zone in the middle, they could retreat and regroup at will. Hiro nodded as he thanked them. "Then I will leave it to you, please protect my wives! Thank you for coming to our aid!"
Hiro who rushed to the east side saw the shadows all over the dragon like ticks on a dog. Unable to clear them all, the reptile repeatedly body-slammed its bulk on the ground. Despite all its attempts, however, the shadows still stayed on its body.
Lars, who ran out of Spirit no longer had glowing armor. The man fought the shadows with extreme knife techniques instead. A boon gained from being trashed by a strider, the adopted son of Krich learned new skills that improved his overall combat potential.
Tsugumi who noticed the increasing number of enemies roared as she ascended to the skies, "Nii-sama I am going all out! [Sheathed Sword] - [Drawn Blade]!"
- Alert: Sub Tsugumi Mitsurugi has increased stats by 200% -
- Alert: Bond Larua Krich has increased stats by 100% -
- Alert: Bond Aurum Standar has increased stats by 100% -
- Alert: Bond Fulgeo Renacida has increased stats by 100% -
The sword saint who flew surfed like a pro as projectiles, skills, and spells chased after her. Her elevated stats allowed her to dodge them like a speeding bullet.
"SWORD FORMATION - MOURNING STAR!"
All her swords into a sea urchin-like formation. The ball of sharp swords crashed and shredded the shadows it came across. Like an unstoppable juggernaut, the sword urchin decimated the west side as it wreaked havoc on the battle lines.
Hiro who just arrived noticed the increasing number of shadows preparing to assault their position.
"Be careful here they come!"
While the butcher braced himself for another clash, updates again came in one after another.
[Geo]: Master! we are being swarmed! I don't know if we can hold it! Please send someone here!
'Master, this is Alan, both the west and south sides are being overwhelmed! Lady Vesna is requesting for support as they are taking heavy casualties.'
Hiro used his AGI to scan the battlefield and counted the army of shadows. The number he got sent shivers down his spine. "Shit, 100,000 shadows. We have 25,000 per side."
The man racked his brain to figure out how he could stop such massive numbers from all four fronts. Hiro inwardly began to think about abandoning the west and south areas. Luckily before he could make such a desperate action. Voices echoed thorough out the battlefield.
- Thank you for protecting us, darling. It's our turn now. -
- My love, focus on the East. We will take care of everything else. -
- Husband, watch closely. Look at how awesome I am. -
- WORLD ANNOUNCEMENT: The Vaginarnis has successfully descended to the Valorious continent! -
