Chapter 320 Running Berserk, Magical Swordsman!

In no time, the battle was quickly starting to resemble a conventional clash of armies, albeit a confrontation where one of the sides was terribly at a disadvantage…

"Look out to your right, be careful!"

However, it was also this unfavorable situation that made the losing group shine amid the darkness. Despite having been shaking in cowardice a minute ago, they were skillfully handling their enemies with everything in mind!

Unlike Leo and the other three who had only gotten used to working in small groups, each and every one of these Martial Artists possessed experience in fighting within squads or teams consisting of a few dozen comrades. In a battle of numbers like this, everything they learned came in handy.

Their cooperation wasn't seamless as they weren't all part of the same team, but the adaptation skills that they picked up by switching from one squad to another made it very easy to coordinate with others given enough time. Just as Leo had hoped, their Furnace-mates were truly the best reinforcement that he could pick!

Awooo!

At the same time, that didn't mean that the werewolves were getting crushed without resistance. In order to push the werewolves back, each Martial Artist had at least one deep gash caused by the werewolves' long claws.

Fortunately, unlike the werewolves in the legend, these monsters' claws weren't laced with incurable poison, nor were they impervious to wounds caused by non-silver weapons. As long as vital damage was dealt, they fell down like any strong soldier would.

Swiiiishhhh…

Once the Heavenly Strength Society's little army had their buffs completely cleared, a scarlet gleam rose from their focal point. As if a sleeping beast had awoken from their slumber, the aura that had been spread condensed into one point as it rose to the sky!

After finishing her critical job, the bloodlust that Yeon unleashed to wake up the followers was all focused back on her. The sanguine aura not only covered her whole body, but a deep shade of red also covered the Black Heaven Jade, making it look even more sinister than usual.

Without any further alert, the eastern blade flashed into a flurry of movements as Yeon's body coordinated with it. Flying into a systematic rampage, the scary beauty drilled a large hole into the werewolves' defenses!

'It won't be long.'

Sparing a few side glances every now and then, Leo understood that Yeon's fate was approaching faster than usual. Considering the special situation, it wasn't something he was worried about, but he wasn't exactly looking forward to it either. That was just how complicated a Secondary Main Character had to be.

Rather than being detrimental, the mild berserk state that Yeon was currently in only served to boost her ability beyond her limits, albeit within reason. The Scarlet Sky Breathing Method was a miraculous technique as one would expect, but not everyone could draw out its real benefits…

"Don't let down, completely crush them!"

The werewolf chief stood and watched the battle go on. It looked like he was stupidly wasting his forces while keeping himself for last, but that wasn't the case at all. In reality, he understood that a serious battle between him and any of the four 'generals' on the other side would likely result in his loss.

Just like Martial Artists could gauge the ability of their opponent by sensing their energy, monsters also possessed keen senses, especially werewolves like them.

"It's all for the clan's sake, your sacrifice won't be forgotten!"

Fully aware of their opponents' capability, everyone could tell that only mass sacrifice could wear down the threats to the level where they could triumph against them. Monsters like the Devouring Centaur might have prioritized personal survival, but werewolves were a familial species, they would do anything for the sake of their clan…

While the scene looked like a tear-jerking drama, the reality was that these were gourmet human eaters. Leo might have chosen another target if this was the first venue of coexistence between humanity and monsters, but they would have been eaten if Leo hadn't initiated the attack!

'Let's spice it up!'

Crackle!

With all the chess places set up, Leo threw the Silver Dragon AoE once more. With one hand now empty, a scarlet flame rose from his palms, unleashing a burning storm!

Awo-

As if a raging dragon just unleashed its fearsome breath, a dozen werewolves were burned to a crisp, displaying the potency of True Internal Fire under the monsters' wails. An ability like this defined the wall between Transcendents and normal Peak Masters, but Leo's in particular had even more edge.

Having been cleansed by a Phoenix's flame, the Internal Energy of the Four Heavenly Beasts possessed a great affinity with fire. Although that caused it to eat up quite a bit of their reserves once seriously used, its might was anything but terrifying!

The Sword Spear Unity style was great when used against strong opponents, but its effectiveness fell when faced with numbers. As such, Leo opted to switch into a magical swordsman style now that he possessed the ability to. A sword in his right and a flame barrage in his right gave him a sense of excitement.

Versatility, to be capable of everything was every youth's dream. Among the countless reads that Leo had browsed through, magic and melee hybrids were quite popular. Rather than restricting their ability to a field, authors preferred to make their protagonists capable of everything to cater to everyone's tastes!

'This is not bad at all…'

Dozens of blades floated around Yeon, moving under the Black Heaven Jade's command. A small smile formed on the charming beauty's face, making her appear even more dazzling.

Even with all of his strange rationality, Leo couldn't help being swept in Yeon's berserk style as he got some taste of excitement. Cheon Yong was already following his martial art's description to a tee by rampaging with his fists, but Cheon Sohee didn't follow in with Leo's approach, constricting her attacks to quick, concise slashes.

With the foot soldiers dutifully fulfilling their purpose, the four generals got to unleash what they had in store, hastening the battle's inevitable closure…
