Chapter 959 Battle of Andora 4

[Time left: 0 days 10 hours 58 minutes]

An hour had passed since Platoon 3 began a fierce battle against the hordes of the Abyss creatures, who were doing everything they could to break through the base and lay their claws upon what was within.

Since then, six more acolytes had been teleported out from the planet due to severe injuries they suffered.

"Incoming!!"

A group of flying Abyss creatures were charging towards the walls. Together with the beams that the Plasma Turret fired, several shadowy figures shot arrows rapidly into the sky. The barrage of arrows flew like a flood, stopping the dozens of Abyss creatures from drawing closer.

However, from the midst of this horde of Abyss creatures, a stage 4 Ravager quickly swooped like a meteor and used its massive body to crash into one of the Plasma Turret mounted on the wall.

BOOOM!!!

"Turret 5 is destroyed!" Chumo shouted to the others after glancing at the wreckage of the Plasma Turret and the shattered walls. Immediately after, he put away his bow and took out a dagger before his figure disappeared.

As soon as his figure reappeared, the Ravager that had destroyed the Plasma Turret with its body shrieked in pain. A dagger was stuck in the right side of its body where its chest should be, a weak point that Chumo's [Eye of the Raven] had hinted for him.

Spllaaatt!!

Blood was splattered everywhere as Chumo pulled out the dagger, but he didn't have the time to care because there were still more Abyss creatures coming from the sky.

"Quick, fill the gap!" Julian shouted as he smashed the ground with his hammer, stopping the dozen or so Abyss creatures from approaching.

He bashed a few more Abyss creatures to death as he made his way towards the part of the base wall that was currently rapidly being overrun by Abyss creatures as a result of the turret being destroyed.

"Chumo, watch out!!" shouted Julian as he saw a group of Lurkers shoot their poisonous spit from a blind angle. Alas, it looked like he was still a bit too late.

Splasshhhh

Chumo turned his head at Julian's words, but that only made things worse because not only his body, his face was also hit by Lurker's poisonous spit. Chumo's figure quickly melted like a candle as dozens of poisonous spittle splashed on him.

Fortunately, Chumo immediately disappeared in the next second proving that the one attacked by the Lurkers was just one of Chumo's many shadow clones.

Seeing this, Julian inwardly heaved a sigh of relief before glaring at the Abyss creature with a piercing gaze. He became furious when he imagined that the one that had been attacked wasn't the clone but Chumo's real body.

The chaos and fatigue that had accumulated since a long time ago made Julian start to lose concentration. However, the fact that Chumo was surrounded by the Abyss creatures and needed help still remained.

All of a sudden, a figure shot through the air and landed in the middle of the swarm. A cloud of dust rose and blocked vision, but was quickly replaced by a scene of carnage as the figure swung about the huge glaive in their hand, decapitating dozens of creatures in a matter of seconds.

"Kill them all!! Die, you shitty creatures!"

Thrax screamed wildly as the glaive in his hand went berserk, slashing and killing every Abyss creature in the vicinity. The Thracian seemed still very passionate about this chaotic and bloody battle.

With a Tier 5 weapon artifact in his hand and [9 Sun Divine Technique] powering his body, Thrax basically had a perfect tool for slaughter and an endless supply of Vigor, allowing him to be fearless and continue his Abyss creature killing streak. Simply put, the current Thrax was an inexhaustible killing machine.

With some of the Plasma Turret destroyed by the Abyss creatures, the already suppressed Platoon 3 was even more overwhelmed.

However, even though the situation at the Platoon 3 base was getting worse, the situation around the transport located just 10 miles away on the other side of the forest was even more chaotic.

The defensive structures that the Kaleos group managed to build were 4 three-story towers 15 meters high made of metal, and situated at the four corners of the transportation. A hundred meters of distance separated each tower from the others, allowing them to fit snugly around the transport that stood high into the sky.

Tower One was held by the two brothers Orion and Orycon.

Tower Two was held by Gerri and the two Goat half-bloods Igor and Ivar

Tower Three was held by Sigurd the Titan bloodline

And finally, Tower Four was held by Anas and Klea.

All four towers provided decent cover and protection, and were built sturdy enough to defend against attacks by Crawlers and Flyers. Thanks to that, the dozen or so acolytes which were placed on four towers had an easier time attacking the Abyss creatures with their weapons and spells from the gaps created on the tower's second and third floors.

As for the situation in the base's underground cave where most of the survivors were gathered, it was probably the worst of them all. There were already a dozen or so holes appearing on the cave walls, and from within, bursting up hundreds of Abyss creatures every second.

The only saving grace was the fact that there were no survivors near these holes, as Atlas and the others had relocated the survivors when the former detected a lot of movement in the surroundings.

Even so, sooner or later, the underground cave would be filled with Abyss creatures and the survivors would end up with nowhere else to escape.

At the moment, Atlas constantly threw flames and lightning at the horde to kill and prevent the Abyss creatures from reaching the survivors.

Unfortunately, due to the nature of the cave, the half-machine acolyte were unable to use his powerful Tier 5 spells to wipe out these Abyss creatures lest the entire underground cave network collapse and bury everyone with it.

Hence Atlas could only handle the stage 2 Crawler, and at most the stage 3 Lurker.

The remaining Abyss creatures that appeared would have to be stopped by Magus Bellaine and the saint figures, but many had been heavily injured. In fact, Emery had to cast [Rejuvenating Mushroom] in succession to keep these people from fainting from their injuries.

Still, hundreds of Abyss creatures would pass by them, which Emery and his 5 plant creatures had to take care of.

Splaaatt!! Splatt!! Splaatt!!

Emery stood in an intersection as dozens of Abyss creatures charged at him ferociously. Savage Blade in hand, his body shot forward and danced amidst the horde. The abyss creatures began to fall with multiple cuts on their bodies, while the plant creatures used their hard and heavy limbs to crush and restrain the creatures.

"Chiko, there's more on the left! Chiku, one passes you!"

A Crawler managed to slip by amidst the chaos thanks to its speed. Just as it was about to lay its claws at the group of weak survivors, a green translucent barrier suddenly formed and protected them from the attack.

[Wide Guard]

This was the innate ability that the Chizpur Fang recently gained after they interacted with the spirit creatures. This ability played a great part in protecting the survivors, as they slowly evacuated to the surface.

These groups of survivors were weak and sick, so it took them at least an hour to move. All the survivors chose to leave the underground cave, and now there were only a few hundred left behind.

"Hold on, everyone! Just a few more minutes!!" shouted Emery.

However, at this moment, a few more holes appeared on the cave walls. The stage 5 Abyss creature, Ravager, charged from the depth. With these creatures' appearance, defending the cave while protecting the remaining few hundred survivors was no longer a possibility.

"Everyone move out!" Emery gave the order and began to retreat; however, Atlas remained standing where he was as the horde of Abyss creatures approached. The half-machine acolyte resounded in the cave.

"I will handle them."
