Chapter 241: Stampede IV
Down! Lucy shouted gallantly. An aura spread out from her body, towards every direction. And from her epicenter, everything in her surroundings started to fall towards the ground.
Even the dust in the air plummeted with great speed because of the gravity she unleashed. The ugly pigs that were flying towards the walls, fell to the ground with great force. Just the gravity alone caused them to bleed from inside, mixed their acids with their blood, and started the chain event of their demise. But because of Lucys order, there was nothing below but monsters.
When the flying pigs started to swell, monsters around them wanted to rush away but because of Lucys gravity zone, they could not at all. They could only wait pinned on the ground and wait for the inevitable death.
Thirty Flying Pigs exploded at the same time and caused a giant cloud of mushroom. Hundreds of monsters in the midst turned into gore and blood with the pigs. Lucy looked triumphantly at the dead monster and started to float towards the ground. She pulled out a shoulder piece and increased its gravity to its limit. The heavy plate became a heavy object and now almost weightless Lucy kicked the plate to hurl herself towards the walls once again.
Keep your eyes open! We cannot let any dangerous creature approach us from the sky! Lucy ordered as soon as she landed on the ground.
Yes, maam. The aide shouted in fervor.
Where are Porseila and Mihr?
Princess is dealing with the Earth Tiger at the South Wall, and Sir Orril is at the North Wall battling against Crying Pandas. The aide reported.
Where the fuck is Miles when you need him? Lucy muttered to herself. She was in the center as the commander and was helping in every direction, but because the monsters were primarily coming from the East, she was closer to the East Wall.
The previous hunting team was stationed at the West Wall, as it was the safest point. There were almost no other people with them. But South and North Walls were also blockaded by the monsters.
Monsters were coming from every direction in hundreds. Luckily humans were at the major advantage of being in defense and prepared. Despite battling for days, they still could cope with thousands of monsters.
Third day, East Wall
Maam, a humanoid appeared. Aide listened to his earpiece and reported in fear.
Which side? Lucy asked as she sighed in exhaustion. She was expecting the Kingpin of the Stampede to appear eventually but it was still too early.
East, North, and the South! Aide shouted in terror.
The South Wall
Princess, Wall Crushers are here! Porseilas right-hand woman reported from the top of the wall. Porseila herself was in her armor, the needle-like sword in her hand, ready for battle.
Can you handle it? She asked where she was waiting. She wasnt ready for this. She didnt want this! She wanted to battle with the Marooner at her side, but ever since the latter was branded as the traitor, no one has seen him again.
Yes, Princess. Leave it to me. Lartia, the Hispanic beauty, answered. She has been with Porseila since their childhood. Her mother was a maid in their mansion, thus she grew up with the richest family in Unity.
When she first entered Portal World, she wasnt in that stronghold but the distance wasnt that far away, so the family had her escorted so she could assist Porseila in her endeavor. She was also quite lucky. She awakened a strong superpower allowing her to control the water in the atmosphere to create water walls.
Her mother could also control moisture but because it was weak, she could only use it to clean the house for others. Lartia could create walls of water from nothing, allowing her to be the Princesss bodyguard.
Just big rodents. She looked at the approaching giants in scorn. The approaching rats looked at the wall in lust. They were bigger than a school bus and their fangs were longer than a human. Anything on their paths would be smashed into pieces with their claws, and those that could not be blasted easily would be bitten to the dust by those vicious fangs.
But they were slow, as they had no feet. They were crawling very slowly, which was a blessing. Because, if these monsters could run, they would be one of the most dangerous animals in G-Circle. Their hairy hides were resistant to most of the blunt attacks. Unfortunately for them, most humans awakened elemental abilities, which they were weak against.
Lets do it, Lartia shouted as she jumped into the air. Water in the atmosphere started to gather with her at its epicenter, and swirling water formed a giant wall in the air. When it was all condensed, she brought her hand down and the wall of water fell down on top of the rodents with great force.
The pinned rodent cried helplessly before lightning rained down on them from the sky. Two of Porseilas girls, who could use lightning, attacked at the same time, and with the help of water keeping them on the ground, the deadly but slow rats electrocuted to death.
The beasts are taken care of, Princess. Lartia dutifully reported after she was done removing the cores. Lucky for them, three of them dropped orbs. The orbs were rapiers, with the piercing element, much like Porseilas needle sword, but hers was much better.
Give them to the frontiers. Deal with the rest of them. She looked at the other wall crushers approaching, but they werent as troublesome as the Sloth Fangs.
She wanted to sit back and watch her team deal with the monsters but soon, a troublesome monster appeared.
Ugh, Earth-Tiger. Porseila looked at the monster walking majestically but slowly. The monster was pitch black in color and had light brown stripes on its body. Its eyes were dark brown. It looked beautiful yet dangerous.
The height of the monster was twice that of the girl. But Porseila was standing strong with the sword in her hand. When the big cat was only five meters away from her, it roared in anger, as if ordering low humans to get lost.
Kitty, kitty, kitty. Come, let me play with your fur. Porseila smiled happily.
ROAR! The tiger cried in madness and leaped forward. When it landed on the girl, instead of blood and flesh, it met with piercing spikes on the ground, which it failed to notice before. Luckily the earth element was protecting it from such weapons. It roared once again before it clawed its way to the ground and buried itself deep into the ground.
Quickly pull it out. We cannot let it reach the walls. Porseila ordered. A few soldiers with Earth elements slapped the ground and tremors started to spread out. Porseila felt the ground shaking and in the next second, the tiger jumped out of the ground with its ears bleeding.
Attack!
Attack from all sides, Porseila shouted as she used her superpower to hide soldiers. The tiger wasnt smart and it could only battle with phantoms while wounds on its body were getting deeper and deeper.
In no time at all, the giant cat was riddled with holes, and its eyes were looking dull. Porseila walked near it and started to pet its head. The tiger looked at the girl with begging eyes, but Porseila knew better. The needle sword in her hand flashed for a second and pierced through the beasts eye in the next.
She pulled out her sword and swung it to shake off the blood. Another victory.
Third Day, The South Wall
Stay back! Porseila ordered and all the girls in her team split open for her to pass through. A humanoid figure appeared on the other side. The humanoid was small, but the aura around it was lethal. Porseila knew no one but herself could deal with it.
You are pretty. The humanoid said as she flapped her wings. She looked like a 12-year-old human child, but sparkling dots on her skin and a pair of wings behind her looked beastly.
And you are creepy. Porseila shuddered as she answered. Even since she battled with the humanoid vampire, she had a small irritation of children. Now another eerie child-looking monster appeared.
And that is hurtful. I praised you so you should praise me back. The little girl pouted as she looked at Porseila cutely. She would be cute if the situation was any different but in the middle of a stampede, the humanoid only meant trouble. Porseila knew better than lowering her guards.
And thanks to her precaution, the flying particle passed by her head instead of creating a hole in her brain. She had an unfeathered smile on her face as her tilted head looked at the small monster.
You are sneaky, arent you?
I thought I could get you flat-footed. The little girl stuck out her tongue as she started to float. Gotta do it the hard way then.
As soon as she finished speaking, she vanished from where she was standing. When she was seen once again, she was standing behind Porseila and her claws were stretched out, ready to take the tender neck of her prey.
Porseila crouched down in haste and dodged the attack before spinning on her right heel. When she did, she pushed the sword in her hand forward towards the monsters torso. The floating girl was weightless and dodged the attack despite the position she was in. She stood upside down, and from above, kicked the girl below her.
Her leg, like a whip, came down at great speed. Porseila wasnt as fast as the little girl and couldnt dodge after the attack. She raised her arm to protect herself. The little girl smiled as soon as she saw this, and a purple sheen covered her leg. But as soon as her leg clashed with Porseilas arm, she frowned.
Oops, sorry. I forgot to mention that, it wasnt really me. Porseilas voice came behind the girl, as the one defending the leg disappeared to the thin air. The little girl had no time to look back as she felt pain in her torso. When she looked down, she saw the tip of the rapier piercing through her stomach.
Ah, my brother would be a better choice on this side. The little girl smirked as she looked at the sword pierced through her stomach.
