Chapter 218 Major Fischer (2)

Major Fischer's ice elementals threw several ice spears at the Blirdoth, but the monster easily dodged them. The damn beast was much more agile than he thought it would be. Fischer knew he had to develop a new strategy quickly, or the Blirdoth would overpower them. He signaled his team to fall back and regroup, hoping to find a weakness in the monster's defenses.

The Blirdoth dashed toward the man, who used his two summoned creatures to stop its charge. Despite Fischer's efforts, the Blirdoth was too strong for his ice elementals to handle alone.

While the ice elementals did their work, Fischer jumped backward while his two creatures unleashed a torrent of ice on his enemy. The move was highly acrobatic, and for sure, only a skilled fighter would be able to make it. The Blirdoth roared angrily as it shook off the ice and charged again toward Fischer.

At the same time, Fischer felt his energy decreasing due to having to maintain the two summons and give them enough mana to make them strong enough to face the creature; this took a heavy toll on his mana reserves.

Besides, he just killed a Jask, so his mana was already low, to begin with, and the fact that the creature was getting more aggressive with each passing moment further complicated the situation. He took a deep breath and focused hard on the creature.

Despite the vast number of ranged attacks the soldier threw at the monster, be it the result of BCPs, laser rifles, or other conventional weapons, the situation wasn't getting better, and no significant damage could be done.

"This is hopeless," said one of the soldiers beside him. "We need to retreat." Fischer shook his head.

Although it seemed the creature outmatched them, they needed to keep their position, at least until they had tried everything. If they ran away, the city was bound to fall into the hands of the monsters, which meant death for everyone there. They couldn't afford such an outcome.

He turned around and looked at the men and women behind the beast: most of them were wounded from various cuts and bruises sustained during their fight against the monsters, but none were seriously injured yet, aside from the ones who died. The others' morale rose slightly when he saw how determined the Major was.

The Blirdoth crashed against the elementals like a train; they were flung away by the beasts, who then charged right directly at Major Fischer. The thaid arrived in front of him and swung its paw.

The major avoided the creature's attack but was in a pinch since he constantly had to move back to avoid the beast's poisonous miasma. The gas affected the ice elementals, and a pool of water formed at their feet.

"Damn it," said Fischer. He quickly pulled his gun from the holster and began firing at the beast, only for it to dismiss the attack as if it were nothing.

Fischer's face contorted with anger when suddenly two more thaid appeared behind him, one on each side. The Major quickly turned to face the new threats, his heart racing with fear and adrenaline. He knew he had to kill them fast if he wanted to survive this encounter.

"Shit!" he shouted as he turned to kill the monsters. "I'm not going down that easily." His body moved swiftly as he used his flail to bash the two thaids' heads before turning again toward the Blirdoth coming up from behind.

As soon as the creature came close enough, Fischer's elementals barred its way using their arms. The monster tried pushing through, but Fischer quickly scrambled away and made the distance between him and the beast.

The Blirdoth increased the output of miasma it released, and the gas spread around the troops, burning the skin of the unlucky ones that stood in it for a second and killing the ones who remained for more than two.

"Help me!" a soldier shouted to his nearby comrades.

The soldiers did, trying to steer the creature away from a nearby group of soldiers. It didn't work, however. The gas got stronger, covering a lot of people except for those who managed to get out of the radius.

Chaos ensued, and all the troops diverted their attacks to the Blirdoth, meaning that no one was attending the wall, and many thaids that went through the breach and into the city. Some even remained to kill the soldiers, and the situation became even messier.

In the meantime, the Blirdoth kept attacking Major Fischer, and some soldiers had the idea to use their attacks to create a wind strong enough to stop the poisonous gas from killing more soldiers. The move worked, and the growth of death numbers decreased significantly.

However, despite partially neutralizing the Blirdoth, more thaids kept entering through the breach, and the soldiers grew desperate. They were struggling to contain the situation as they were outnumbered and overwhelmed. They urgently needed reinforcements to prevent the city from falling into the hands of the monsters.

As the soldiers did their best to prevent more deaths, the Blirdoth unleashed a flurry of attacks against Fischer. Its colossal paws came close to killing the Major a couple of times, but since his ice elementals aided him, the Major was able to save himself.

He couldn't, though, just receive the beast's attack; he had to do something. Unfortunately, the elementals could, at best, stop the Blirdoth from approaching him, and his mana was almost depleted. It was with a sad heart and not without shame that the Major decided to escape that hopeless situation. Leaving his comrades behind was not an easy decision, but he knew it was the only way to ensure his survival.

The Major channeled the rest of his available mana into the ice elementals, and these while significantly empowered, started tackling the Blirdoth. At the same time, he, on the other hand, ran away from the battlefield.

It was the soldier's turn to keep the creature at bay; he did what he could. As he ran, he hoped that what he had done had been enough to give the soldiers enough time to regroup and devise a better plan to defeat the Blirdoth.

Weapons and brain crystal powers'' attacks continued to blow away the miasma. Strikes rained on the Blirdoth while Fischer's' elementals kept wrestling the Thaid.

The melee soldiers went into close quarters, using their weapons to try and kill the creature, and slowly everything seemed to work since the beast was now accumulating more and more wounds. They were shallow, but there were so many that, coupled with the ones the thaid got outside the barrier, it started having problems retaliating.

Despite their progress, the Blirdoth was still a formidable opponent, and the soldiers knew they couldn't let their guard down. The soldiers urged each other to keep up their efforts while searching for weaknesses in the creature's defenses.

Some of them noticed that the Blirdoth's movements were becoming slower and less coordinated, indicating that it was getting tired. They knew that this was their chance to finish the battle and defeat the creature once and for all.

The Heniate was now in a pinch. Numerous humans were encircling his avatar, the Blirdoth, slowly killing it. Taken individually, they were not much for the parasite master, but it was impossible to come out victorious in those huge numbers.

The Heniate realized that it had underestimated the humans and their ability to work together. It frantically considered how to escape the predicament, but its options were limited. However, it knew it had to act fast before its avatar, the Blirdoth, was utterly destroyed, as he lost control over the situation.

So, it made the Blirdoth charge ahead, hitting and stomping at least a dozen soldiers in the process. The soldier understood the beast was trying to get out of the encirclement and tried to stop it at all costs.

Many channeled mana and unleashed their powers again, though the beast didn't stop its charge; after all, his fur was resistant to most attacks and was as strong as iron. The Blirdoth's movements became more erratic as it tried to break free, causing chaos among the soldiers.

In a desperate move, it let out a loud roar that stunned everyone around it, giving it just enough time to make a run for it and escape the battlefield. To hide its escape, the creature let out all of its poisonous gas at full power. Most of the soldiers nearby died, and their bodies melted on the floor. Soon, only goo remained.

The Blirdoth was able to break through the enemy lines and escape thanks to its rampage, but it took a lot of damage in the process. Its once majestic fur was now burned and tattered, and its skin was full of cuts and bruises from the constant barrage of enemy attacks. As it ran away, it let out a mournful cry.
