The Last Primal

744 Chapter 744

In reality, if it was a one-on-one battle, with Aiden's strength he wouldn't be in such a position even if he were facing more opponents of similar or even stronger power levels. By unleashing his full power and fully activating his [Draconic Heritage] as well as fully utilizing his growing divine powers Aiden could crush these opponents with ease.

However, apart from the annoying Elder Loran, Aiden was also surrounded by a literal army of temple zealous war priests, an ancient fierce beast, and another powerful elder archbishop as well! Also, at the same time, knowing that there were many eyes cast on them, he did not want to reveal all of his trump cards either.

Under such circumstances, it was already extremely fortunate that Aiden was able to hold out.

Right now, without shedding all pretenses and unleashing his full strength, Aiden's strength was only enough to match Elder Loran and possibly, Elder Zhorl. However, he was definitely disadvantaged by the addition of so many little flies attacking him continuously.

*Swash!*

A cold flash of light shot over.

Aiden merely felt his vision blur and he could not identify where Elder Zhorl's blade was.

He struck with an extremely advanced blade technique.

If he were to actively utilize his divine source, Aiden would be able to see the peculiarities of the majestic attack, he would be able to see the countless afterimages, and the layer of illusion hiding the truth about where the crafty Elder's blade truly was at.

But right now, Aiden knew nothing about these techniques and he could only retreat in the face of that attack.

That single retreat caused many openings in Aiden's original defense to be exposed.

At this moment when he was surrounded by so many opponents and his abilities were severely limited each mistake could be his last.

The pouring rain resembled the myriad of attacks – even if Aiden could sense them, he could not avoid everything.

The small street was so crowded and intense that it was asphyxiating!

Although he managed to dodge Elder Loran's fatal attack, a few more wounds appeared on Aiden's body in the blink of an eye as his blood was washed away by the rain.

"[Reptilian] Hmmm… he won't be able to hold on for much longer if this goes on."

"[Reptilian] Judging by his actions so far, that stranger is most likely a seasoned martial expert. He must have trained his body, and built up his strength as well as his speed to such impossible degree. A man like him… will definitely turn weaker as he loses more blood. His situation's only going to get worse."

"[Reptilian] What a pity. That man truly does have the strength to go against the elite force of the High Priest's forces, sigh."

Tai-Liu was motionless in the face of the remarks of the crowd, merely looking slightly worried.

Although she hid it well, the elderly figure, the faithful protector uncle standing by her side could see through the thin veil she cast upon her face. He could feel all her worry as she gazed at the growing pile of corpses laid around the strange raggedy robed stranger… Aiden's feet.

Despite the fact that he was being held up by two of the most powerful forces the church could muster up, two full fledged archbishops and a literal bombardment of what… probably more than a hundred strong warpriests, Aiden still managed to kill off more and more of their numbers with his terrifying melee combat strength!

His dark gray robes were almost completely stained to a deep shade of crimson by this point.

"[Reptilian] Outsider! Be wise, and surrender now… and I might just let you die with your corpse intact!"

Elder's voice sinister voice resounded.

"[Reptilian] Oh really? AHAHAHAHA!"

Aiden burst into laughter hearing that sneering remark. "Old man let me tell you. Even if you surrender now, I won't leave you with a full corpse! I'm definitely going to chop your head off and drink your blood tonight!"

"[Reptilian] You ignorant peasant! I'm going to mince you as revenge for my brother!" Elder Loran roared with rage.

"[Reptilian] Kill him!"

"[Reptilian] Kill him!"

"[Reptilian] Tear him to shreds! Offer his flesh to the High Priest!"

The zealots' eyes were bloodshot as they continued to swarm in.

As time passed, the number of injuries on Aiden's body increased; some of them had split open once more after healing up.

The long street was dyed red with blood.

Even the pouring rain could not wash away all the blood on the stone slabs.

To everyone, Aiden was already sluggish right now. He was no longer as agile as he was earlier and his swings were gradually losing more and more power as the fight continued on. He was clearly exhausted.

"[Aiden, if this continues, you will lose your last chance! You have to stop this pretense and stop holding back! You have to let the girl, as well as your full strength, be unleashed if you wish to come out of this alive!]" Even Enya was growing worried forced to watch this losing, desperate battle going on.

In fact, Aiden's aura had already mostly vanished due to the immense expenditure of his energy.

It looked as if he was at the end of his road.

The elderly uncle shook his head with a sad-looking frown further wrinkling his face.

"[Reptilian] Miss, I am sorry to say… but that lad's bound to die within 50 breaths."

Tai-Liu didn't say a word and merely frowned. She glanced in askance at the group of warriors behind her.

She could still order the Sect to join the battle right now. However, they were bound to suffer immense losses if they were to enter at this moment.

That would reduce their chances of exploring the burial site ruins contention even further.

In truth, she really wanted to rush to Aiden's aide.

However, she was the leader of Azure Myst Sect's expedition this time around. Every single decision she made had to be for the sect's interests and she could not take part in the battle right now.

Tai-Liu's eyes dimmed as she sighed internally.

The omnipresent pain struck Aiden's nerves repeatedly and his mind was incomparably clear.

'Sigh… You are right. I really wanted to avoid revealing my cards. I guess I was still naive. I can't hold back any longer. I was still forced to this point in the end.' He sighed internally before he shifted his focus to his inner shackles once more.

Suddenly, a faint golden glow emerged around his figure. His wounds began to rapidly heal and a pair of glowing golden glimmering orbs emerged from beneath the torn hood of the robe.

"[Reptilian] Time to play seriously."
