Chapter 885 - Chaotic War (1/2)
Translator: Shiraishi Editor: TheAlliance
The fact that the puppets were even more coordinated than a human army was especially frightening.
Moreover, the 50-mage army he had been looking down upon were unexpectedly extremely powerful…
It wasn’t just Dephew, the other mages within the Sunset Fort, including Jouyi and Harren, were dumbstruck.
So many puppets had appeared, and those synchronized footsteps still echoed in their minds. They were too shocked.
Eight hundred Level 30 humanoid battle puppets!
Eighty Level 35 casting puppets!
An army of 50 mages that acted as if they were one person, a Level 39 Frost Dragon, a Level 39 patched puppet, a 7th Rank Sword Saint Beastman with incredible power…
As well as the most frightening one, Mafa Merlin himself…
Harren and Jouyi were dumbfounded.
‘This is the power under Mafa Merlin’s control?’
Everyone in the Sunset Fort was frightened by the terrifying force that appeared so suddenly, and outside, the battle was already unfolding.
The entrance to the Sunset Fort was wide open, so how could those Raging Flame Beastmen pass up such a good opportunity? A 1000-strong Wolf Rider Unit charged towards the Sunset Fort, swinging their scimitars as they moved like a huge wave.
But before they could reach the Sunset Fort, they saw a large number of lights flowing out of the fort.
Identical puppets rushed forward, and at the very front, six hundred humanoid battle puppets swung their arms. Their hands rapidly deformed and turned into large, two-meter-long blades that had numerous runes carved onto them.
The six hundred golden puppets turned into a flood of sharp blades that clashed with those Wolf Riders.
All the puppets were perfectly coordinated, and their continuous slashes transformed into a huge, several-hundred-meter-long meat grinder.
A puppet’s blade blocked a Wolf Rider’s scimitar, and at the same time, two blades would take advantage of that opportunity to slice that Wolf Rider and his mount to death.
Looking at it from a distance, the flickering cold swordlight transformed into a terrifying wave that tore into the Wolf Riders’ ranks almost unobstructed.
As the cutting wave forced its way into their ranks, it felt like a bloody river was flowing down but suddenly meeting some sort of obstruction that caused blood to splash into the sky.
The bloody mist and smell of iron fused together, and it seemed like a crimson smoke signal was soaring into the sky.
The first assault of the blade puppets on the probing cavalry unit resulted in over four hundred Wolf Riders that would never leave this place.
And while the blade puppets charged, the remaining Level 30 puppets and the eight Level 35 casting puppets immediately raised their arms. Horrifying mana fluctuations fused with the surrounding elements and throwing all the elements within several hundred meters into chaos. Gusts of winds turned into a tornado that covered the horizon.
Countless spells flew out in an instant and ruthlessly fell onto the Wolf Riders who had been caught in the crisscrossing of the puppet’s blades.
After the seemingly chaotic spells rushed out, they collided with each other, causing their structures to completely collapse and turn into floods of the four elements.
It looked like an enormous four-colored tidal wave heavily crashing down, hitting over three hundred Wolf Riders.
The berserk elemental wave died down, and only a few dozen bloody Beastmen remained behind. The rest had been torn to pieces by the Elemental Flood.
An 8th Rank Sword Saint Wolf Rider roared, and his burning Aura ignited. At that instant, a handful of ice fragments fell from the sky and extinguished his Aura before turning him and his mount into an ice statue.
“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh…”
There was a burst of sounds as three Frost Lances struck that ice statue and shattered it.
As for Xiuban, he was directly storming through the Wolf Riders’ formation like a frantic T-rex, swinging Carnage so fast that it left an afterimage behind him. Those Wolf Riders simply didn’t even get to see how they were hit.
They only saw each other exploding in bloody mists whenever Xiuban drew near, mount included…
After barely thirty seconds, less than half of the thousand Beastmen remained. A distant Beastman army rushed over to help, and their powerhouses rose, quickly flying over to Xiuban’s side.
But it was too late… The casting puppets had released an elemental flood that even tore away the earth to a depth of a dozen meters. Moreover, there was still a huge torrent of spells continuously adding pressure and taking down several dozen Wolf Riders.
These Wolf Riders were elites. After all, in a 1,000-Beastman army, there would be several hundred Expert Swordsmen, and also over thirty 1st or 2nd Rank Archmages!
In a frontal charge, Wolf Riders would always be the strongest, a nearly unstoppable force.
But now, they were strangled to death by the puppets in the first clash, and it had been a one-sided slaughter. Their scimitars barely left scratches on the puppets’ bodies, their attacks completely ineffective.
After a few seconds, the hundreds of Wolf Riders who had broken away to escape collided once again with the blades of six hundred puppets.
The glaring swordlight crazily flickered as the blades enchanted with the runes for Giant’s Strength, Sharpness, Armor Penetration, and Haste fiercely sliced through their victims. The Raging Flame Beastmen who were weaker than the puppets simply couldn’t resist.
The flood of slices washed over them, turning the remnants of the Wolf Riders into a river of blood.
After the battle puppets’ charge, the casting puppets fiercely cast all their spells.
