Dawn Of Legend:Rise Of An Extra

Chapter 170 170:Second Ordeal[4]

?

"Protect the General!!"

"Magician cast shield!"

"Protect Sir Cladoc no matter what!"

"Damn, the curses are too strong!!"

"Sir Cladoc, evade!!!"

"Sir, please evade!!"

Desperate cries of panic echoed across the place. The soldiers' expression on the human side became pale seeing black dots of many curses hurling their way towards them.

Their side didn't have a priest to negate the effect, so if the curses hit then the little bit of momentum which they have gained would soon be wiped out.

"No need!"

Amidst the desperate cries, a cold voice resonated across the place.

"Gather and stand behind me."

Ordering his troops to group behind him, Lucas activated the bloodline ability.

Cladoc Frostblade's bloodline ability was a defensive ability that can reflect all types of non-physical attacks that poured over him whether it was spells or non-physical curses as long as the barrier of refraction didn't break.

While reflecting on the non-physical attack, the body has to bear the force of repulsion created by the attacks.

A greenish light arose from Cladoc's body according to Lucas' will and covering his whole body in an instant, it started to form an invisible wall before him.

At first, Lucas wanted to use telekinesis to push the attacks away but he wasn't able to. Unlike Cladoc's bloodline ability which Lucas had full experience with, he still lacks in using telekinesis.

He had practiced controlling tiny objects and crushing soft things so he was able to do that on the magnified scale but when it came to controlling non-physical attacks, he didn't have any experience.

Everyone's eyes glued on the figure bracing himself to take the attacks head-on.

Curses and attacks pouring on him bounced off with the loud sound.

The knights gasped in shock seeing the invincible figure of a person that stood unfazed by the sea of attacks unfurled at him.

Swish!

Lucas' new image runs right in front of the Demon magician who took a step forward and shouted out curses.

Using the power of Refraction to deflect the attacks, Lucas pointed the tip of his sword at them that began to emit a creepy light and sound.

"Stop it..."

"Damn it...Bastards, stop him!"

The Demon magician panicked seeing the human closing in and quickly spread out dozens of shields to protect themselves however it was too late.

QUANG!

Lucas' sword, which stood out in a straight line as if a Knight was charging, tore all the barriers in one breath and pierced through the bodies of demon magicians behind them.

A shock exploded from reflecting curses and destroyed all the monsters and demons in the vicinity leaving a huge mass of burnt ravaged lands.

Lucas moved so fast that smoke burst out much later than that and filled the entire battlefield.

Lucas advanced without even paying attention to the demon magician corps and destroyed it in such an instant that the demonic forces were unable to stop Lucas' steps even for a single moment.

An overwhelming fear encompassed the entire place because of witnessing an overwhelming sight.

Lucas' golden eyes had turned entirely red and his face looked more like a demon than the demon itself and an intense murderous intent overflowed from his body.

Even Lucas was startled for a moment. He found that every time he killed, his body was devouring the killing intent that fuelled his attack making it stronger.

The reason Abyssal Aura sword art is also known as the wrath of Asura is cause it intensifies a person's emotions and uses those emotions to make the swordsmanship stronger and sharper but now it feels like there is an additional mystery to this sword art.

Even though he was calm before, he was a bit nervous but now he felt like floating over the sky.

It felt peaceful.

No, he hasn't gone mad to call the battlefield a peaceful place rather his heartfelt peace as if this was the most enjoyable moment of his life.

He didn't know if he was going mad or if this was the effect of the 1st Form called Madness of Abyssal Aura sword art.

'It feels as if this is where I truly belong.'

"It's fun."

"I am enjoying this place."

Lucas laughed at his own odd emotions that struck fear in the demons' eyes as they saw him laughing like a maniac while killing their kin.

For the first time in their lives, the emotion of fear had surfaced in the eyes of the monsters who had only known about blood and slaughter.

As a result, the narrowed road began to open again.

"Ahh!"

"Unbelievable."

The knights and soldiers including the lieutenants from the back were watching the scene in enchantment.

What the hell was going on?

An unbelievably unusual sight was unfolding in their eyes.

The demonic army that was so terrifying was now withdrawn by just a single person, it was shocking.

Soon after.

BAM! BAM!BAM!BAM!BAM!BAM!

The footsteps of people who were looking at the broad back slowly began to move along the path that Lucas had made with an unspoken will.

Lucas gave instructions, without saying anything.

Without saying a word, the broad back that without saying anything smashed all the waves of demons blocking their way seemed to be whispering to them.

To raise their weapons.

To follow his lead.

And to trust him.

Something different...

There was something different. The current Cladoc Frostblade was different from the usual except for the appearance.

Cladoc Frostblade was one of the geniuses but he always liked to take a defensive stance and persisted in war. He wasn't an excellent general but he had enough skills to hold a fort today and this unusual aggressiveness was blood-curdling but it didn't matter.

Because the figure that was walking before them was the figure of one the strongest knights they have ever seen.

"General Cladoc hid too deeply."

"He is amazing!"

"Create a path for Sir Cladoc!!"

"Make sure to not pull him back!!"

"Don't dare to become a burden for him!'' 

Finally, along with a loud cry from the mouth of the soldiers and general, the army of humans with eyes stained with passion and thrill began to support and fight in earnestness.

All of them had one thought in mind.

'It's okay if we get lost in darkness since there is a star that will guide us with its brightest shine.'

Seeing this, Lucas chuckled.

"This is not a bad start."

"I might not be a good leader but at least I can arouse their dying feelings."

"I don't think I will ever forget this."

"Still, this isn't enough."

From the beginning, this ordeal was a battle that could never be won if it was sustained in the canyon.

Just as there is a path of life within the dead, to gather time for reinforcement it was necessary to strike the enemy formation and disrupt them.

In the first place, the troops with Knights and Heavy infantry placed were suitable for breakthrough not for defence.

Of course, for that to happen, the existence of an unshakable central point was essential but now Lucas not only fully utilized Cladoc's power, but his power had almost grown to the peak and coupled with the steady mind and experience of Cladoc, Lucas was able to fulfil this role.

That was enough.

Cause lasting a little longer was the core of the battle.

The quest wasn't about winning but to survive and keeping these bastards here until reinforcements arrive.

That was what Lucas was aiming for. And once the reinforcement arrives, he could start dealing with Black Dragon in earnestness, who still seemed to be nonchalant to changes as for Dragon everything is similar to an ant.

And Lucas was looking forward to dealing with it.

This body of 8-Star gave him the feeling of invincibility. In addition to that, it was a body that he can only use once and then he loses it so there was no problem even if he overused it to his heart's content.

'I can draw out more power. Even if the vessel breaks and the body tear apart, I want to be full and fight to the best of my ability.'

Lucas's movements become faster and faster. Coupled with the rush of adrenaline that was pumped into blood, Lucas's swung his sword crazily neglecting the scratches and bruises inflicted upon him.

Pieces of meat and dismembered limbs flew around and blood soaked the ground.

Lucas' gaze shone with madness as he ripped apart the high-ranking demons from his left, all the way to his right at the same time, and then turned around suddenly towards the black dragon who looked down on the battlefield at the end of the demonic wave.

Their eyes met immediately as if the other side was also looking at him.

As if threatening the black dragon Asuka, a deeper crimson aura burst out from Lucas' body and began to encroach on the surrounding area.

'That's...'

Asuka's eyes were full of doubts for a moment.

It wasn't because Lucas was advancing, tearing his army made up of elites like pieces of paper rather than soldiers.

"That power.."

The crimson glow that was circulating Cladoc Frostblade was something familiar that gave him a sense of restlessness.

It was a power similar to what he had seen before.

Something that pushes demons into dreariness.

Something that shakes them in fear.

A power that he couldn't figure out why he felt so familiar to.

Alien and sinister, yet something that arouses the deepest fear as if this power was a nightmare for him.

The eyes of Black Dragon Asuka who remembered something expanded to the point that they couldn't grow any longer.

"Who are you?"
