Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

Chapter 874 - A Loss For A Loss... No One Is A Winner!

The sudden appearance of such strong force startled everyone. The only good news here was that their numbers weren't that much. And that made Doaf shout without any hesitation:

"Leave them to my men, the rest of you keep going forward!"

He deviated from the main group while leading his few hundreds against the few tens. However he couldn't underestimate these tens, as they still had their ultimate techniques.

And the moment the two sides got near each other, the leaders didn't hesitate to activate their ultimate techniques one after another.

In no time brutal waves of attacks fell over the heads of Doaf and his men.

"Cover!" Doaf shouted and instantly those excelled at defense started to use their techniques while others took a few defensive arrays out and started activating them.

However against such a combined attack, these attempts were doomed to fail. The moment these defenses crumbled and crushed, Doaf and others were sent to the air, flying backwards with many wounds.

However Doaf wasn't dejected by that. He did his part of the task and through his short encounter with those leaders, others managed to crush their path inside the constant influx of mages and monsters, getting much closer to the main portals.

However as Doaf and others were thrown away from the picture, these leaders didn't hesitate to aim their techniques at the others. They didn't hesitate to kill their forces to make sure they could get to their enemies.

"Watch out!" the crow shouted in alarm tone while many attacks landed fiercely over him and his men. "Cover up! Shields! Arrays! Fast!" the crow kept yelling and giving orders while he never stopped pushing himself forward.

"Pathetic!"

Just as they managed to shield themselves from the attacks, thanks to the large distance they created, a sinister tone appeared all of sudden from the front.

And then that strange shaped saber appeared once more in this world. This time the dark angel mage stood personally against them, fighting them using one of his strongest offensive techniques.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Black lightning came, not from the sky but from his saber this time. The lightning kept twisting while he moved his saber and waved it right and left.

Anyone who got hit by that was instantly sent in the air hundreds of meters backwards. And unfortunately none managed to escape this surprise attack, not even the crow himself.

"Damn it!" Doaf watched all this while feeling flustered. He didn't wait to see everyone getting wiped out like this. "On me!" he raised his sword and yelled once more, trying to rally his scattered forces.

And they responded to his call. However they had to bypass these leaders now before facing that disastrous mage at the back.

For them, this was a hell of a task to ask for.

"Kill them all!" The dark angel mage knew he had little time left and so he had to make sure there were no more threats left before he would receive his backlash.

The portal up in the sky was now getting burnt faster with the loss of the supporting array. This was a choice he had to make, one he couldn't evade.

And now those leaders held the final mission of killing the last remaining elite forces of the other side, while protecting the portals until they got successfully linked to the higher realms.

However…

"Woosh!"

"Woosh!"

"Woosh!"

Out of nowhere, and without any warning, many portals just appeared all around the aportals. They came without any notice while a large number of mechas appeared.

This time it was Gege's moment to step in and use the plan Arthur tried to do before snapping out.

"Damn you! Stop them all!" the dark angel mage didn't stand his place and watch. He instantly moved fast, so fast, towards those mechas.

Within no time he reached the nearest mechas and started slashing at them using his saber.

The mechas were strong units of Arthur's main army, however against such a high end mage from the highest realms in the universe they couldn't do a thing.

However their number was simply too much for a single mage to handle them all alone.

As for other forces under his command, they were far away from this position. Only those cannonfodders were the first to reach here before anyone else.

His leaders were already entangled in deadly fights against Doaf and his men. When Doaf saw what was going on at the front, he understood what he had to do.

"Keep them in bay," he roared while doing his best to halt the retreat of those leaders. He didn't aim to directly kill them, he knew there would be a time for that.

Things kept escalating fast however no matter how hard the dark angel mage tried, those mechas reached the portals and started throwing everything at them.

Without further ado, the number of those portals kept shrinking at a fast pace.

"Protect these few," the dark angel mage realized how futile it was to try and stop this momentum. The enemy took him by surprise and he couldn't do anything now to change that.

And thus he decided to be realistic and try to control damage.

He selected a group of ten portals only clustered together, lied at the place he first arrived at and cleared out of any mecha.

His sudden shout made all of his forces retreat and surround those ten portals with their lives on the line. Many circles of defense layered on top of each other while the dark angel mage kept himself in the center, hidden from everyone else.

"I won't let you touch those," he swore while watching with extreme hatred those weak and useless machines in his eyes destroying many portals without being able to do anything to stop them.

That made him feel so bitter, so much bitter that he wanted to do anything to kill them. But there was none to do at this point.

As such the mechas kept ruining those portals while the leaders kept retreating despite Doaf's and crow's forces' effort.

After all, one side was very exhausted and greatly weakened and without any special weapons, and the other was refreshed and well rested and using very threatening ultimate techniques.

They couldn't do anything to stop them from retreating all the way towards these ten portals.

And all of sudden things reached this stalemate where Doaf's side couldn't step forward anymore and the dark angel mage could only swallow their bitter losses and try their best to keep those ten portals safe.

But things weren't over yet…
