Chapter 75 - Battlefield Romance
The fall was deep but using the Arch energy, he landed with the iconic Iron man pose. When he stood up, the two swords he threw up in the air landed on his hands with the perfect timing.

….
The beep sound of the system ran continuously in his mind and put a grin on his face. He realized what he just made impressed many disciples and couldn't wait to reap the benefits of this opportunity in front of him. He wanted to thank the Sorcerer for summoning an army of Netherels as now, he could not only earn XP but also precious Badass points.
With the Responsive shield and healing potions in the storage, he started to walk towards the army of Netherels fearlessly.
"What the hell is he doing?!" Sadie shouted
"What does it look like? He's going to send those all damned creatures back to hell where they belong" Even though his intention was obvious at this point, Gaya's answer still startled many.
"Humph, they are going to feast on him before he could even kill five or six Netherel" Victoria sneered and she couldn't wait to see the Netherels tear him apart.
"If he had a brain, he would have brought back up, real backup rather than a mortal with a bow " Jack felt a cold chill running through his spine because he knew how nasty Aelia could be when someone pisses her off.
When he saw her lowering the bow, he swallowed a mouth full of saliva looking at the disciples of Golden Valley behind Victoria.
"You dumb bitch! while you were planning to go as a backup and suck up your senior, he just made you all his backup. You just don't realize that" Gaya didn't hold back her voice and yelled at her in front of all the disciples.
"YOU!" Victoria's face turned red like a ripped tomato in anger and what made her even furious was the mortal girl was right. If Michael's attack on the Netherels made them rush towards the city walls, they had to protect the town with all their strength because they were righteous sects and couldn't let Netherels cross the River town into the Kingdom.
"What you? Are you going to bully a mortal girl like me? If you bitch dare touch a hair on my head, my friend there would beat the living shit out of you. He won't go easy on you because you're a bitch" Gaya had three reasons to speak so boldly without getting her ass kicked. One, she really believed Ghost would come in time to save her from Victoria. Second, even if he didnt, she had a weapon that could fire an arrow before Victoria could cast a spell. Victoria was still at the Body Refining stage and that meant, her body was not completely strengthened yet.
If Gaya were to fire an arrow through Victoria's heart or any vital organs in her body, she would still die, no matter whether Gaya was a mortal or not. The final reason for her boldness was Sadie. Gaya didn't like Sadie a bit but she knew Sadie would cover for her to stay on Ghost's good side.
"How dare she talk to our Sister like that?!"
"The audacity!"
"Insolence!"
"Look over there!" while the Gaya shocked everyone on the wall, someone shouted as they turned their gaze towards Michael and the Netherels.
Sensing the upcoming threat, a few Netherels started to move towards Michael.
"Ignitia" when they came into the range of Ignitia, Michael sent several bolts of lightning towards the Netherels and killed them on the spot.
[Ding! Congrats to the host for killing a Body Refining stage, level 4 Netherel. The reward is 7,000 experience points as well as 100 Badass points.]
[Ding! Congrats to the host for killing a Body Strengthening stage, level 6 Netherel. The reward is 7,000 experience points]
[Ding! Congrats to the host for killing a Body Strengthening stage, level 7 Netherel. The reward is 7,000 experience points as well as 100 Badass points.]
[Ding! Congrats to the host for killing a Body Strengthening stage, level 8 Netherel. The reward is 7,000 experience points as well as 200 Badass points.]
Although he killed Netherels at various cultivation levels, he got the same XP for every Netherel. He wanted to enter the system and asked it about this but the system answered him before he could open up the system interface
[Netherels are mindless creatures that don't use any strategies or tactics. Therefore they cant be compared to living cultivators, hence, the host won't get the usual amount of experience points]
"But"
[Be grateful host. You're at least getting some Experience points and Badass points]
After getting upgraded, the system became more egotistic. He was not in the place or mood to debate an unwinnable argument with the system as he continued to slaughter the Netherels.
"Lightning Dash" Considering the disciples would soon join the fight and he wouldn't get as much XP as he thought, he decided to kill as many Netherels as he could and as fast as he could.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Just as he was slashing the heads of the Netherels, a bunch of arrows brushed past him piercing through the Netherels' heads. The arrows went straight through right between their eyes.
He never used to have someone watching his back in the field as even pink never actually came into the field but remained somewhere else and provided him information through the earbud. He felt like he could get used to this unfamiliar feeling of having someone watching his back.
The two of them wreaked havoc among the Netherel army and finally pissed off the entire army to rush towards the city walls.
"GOLDEN VALLEY ATTACK!"
"BROTHERS AND SISTERS, SHOW THEM WHAT YOU GOT!"
Following the battle cries of Victoria and Evan, all the disciples who had the guts to face the Netherels jumped out of the wall and rushed towards the approaching army of Netherels.
Many may have on the battlefield but everyone's eyes were fixed on only three, Evan, Victoria, and Ghost. It was a rare sight to see the superstars of the younger generation fighting together against a common enemy.
Michael made sure most of their focus is on him by drawing their attention using bolts of lightning and his fancy dual-wielding sword skill.
"Where did he learn to fight like that?" without Michael's knowledge, he astounded and drew Victoria's attention towards him. She was studying under one of the best swordmasters in the Kingdom but she still was not at the point of using two swords simultaneously. One needed absolute concentration and talent to reach Ghost's level and Victoria became shocked at his level of mastery in swordsmanship.
On the wall, Gaya was raining arrows on the Netherels with deadly precision and every arrow fired from her bow put down a Netherel or two.
Nyla and a few other disciples of Silvermoon stared at Gaya like they were going to eat her. Even Sadie felt fascinated by this mortal girl but her eyes were glued to Michael.
Every time he cleaved Netherel heads, her heart would pound against her chest, and experienced tingling sensations in her body. If he wasn't fighting the stinking Netherels, she would have surrendered to her feelings and joined him for some action.
More and more Netherels appeared from the forest to make everyone worse. However, only Michael felt excited to see more and more Netherels.
In front of the huge number of Netherels like this, even Victoria and Evan struggled to keep them from getting injured by the Netherels.
It was difficult especially for Victoria because her concentration was being messed up by Michael's cool sword skills. Jealousy and shock prevented her from fighting with her best.
"Victoria!" Fighting on the other side, Evan noticed Victoria's struggle but before he could do anything, one of the Netherels punched her on the chest.
"Cough" Although her armor absorbed most of the force and saved her organs inside, she still pushed away several steps backward and spurted out blood.
"Hehehe, one less annoying bitch in this world" Compared to Evan, Michael was closer to Victoria and saw everything that happened just now and had a chuckle over it.
"GET AWAY FROM HER!" Just when the Netherels were about to take a chunk of Victoria, the huge white tiger appeared behind Evan. The white tiger made of Evan's arch energy crushed every single Netherel on its way to Victoria and blasted away the Netherels that surrounded her.
"What the fuck is he doing?" Michael was annoyed by this saving the damsel in distress act of Evan. They were supposed to hate each other but Michael realized the haters may have just turned into lovers.
"Love is the only thing that can turn an enemy into a friend" Michael gritted his teeth and recalled the saying back on earth. He then settled his frustration on the Netherels in front of him by cutting them in halves.
"Fuck you love"
