Unlimited Power - The Arcane Path

444 Chapter 442

Although the demi-minotaurs could have arrived and started the battle much faster, they took their time in order to build their numbers and formation. However, when they were one kilometer away from the first group of human warriors that formed a line of five thousand soldiers, they suddenly charged forward and covered that distance in mere seconds.

Leon was near the bottom of a mountain, but still could see the battle clearly since he was only two kilometers away from it. It looked like the humans planned to attack and decrease the demi-minotaurs with magic, but they got caught by surprise. When the mages that were on the backline started to fire their spells, dozens of human soldiers were flying around after being hit by the monsters' charge.

"Shit... things turned south faster than I thought."

Leon was worried. People were dying much sooner than he expected. He didn't like to see fellow humans dying, but at that moment, he was more concerned if Maya and Amanda were in a safe position and if his friends would last long. Leon could see some arrows flying and hitting the massive horde of demi-minotaurs. He also could see some soldiers flying and attacking using several types of arrows and magic... but the number of humans being throw around by the first line of monsters surpassed that.

"I can't wait any longer... shit. I just hope they learn the lesson after this." Leon bit his lips. "Celsius, Undine, Gnome! Now! Make sure not to wound the humans."

Celsius, Undine, and Gnome flew toward the battlefield, they would be fine since they couldn't be seen by anyone aside from Leon. Regardless, he also didn't waste time and shot Plasma Arrows toward the massive horde of demi-minotaurs. Since the humans were being pushed back, he didn't have to worry about hitting them by accident. Every second, Leon emptied his mana, but Sylph worked hard and recovered it. In fact, using his wind alone, he created a frequent stream of mana liquid that was falling over Leon.

...

Leon's skills were leveling up like crazy, but he paid no mind to it. He wasn't fighting to obtain status points, he was fighting to keep his sister, niece, and his friends alive.

It didn't take long before Leon could see that the demi-minotaurs stopped their seemingly unstoppable charge. They could see the arrows flying and hit their friends, but they couldn't see the mage who was creating them. Not only that, but earth and water lances were also falling from the skies and annoying the soldiers. Meanwhile, small snowflakes were falling and freezing the creatures.

Upon noticing the confusion in the middle of the monster army, the humans started to like the battle and push the creatures a little more. Despite that, they only managed to stop the advance of the first line of attackers. Although things were going well, Leon noticed that he didn't even kill ten thousand demi-minotaurs, while he had used one of his five steel containers.

"I guess this is the price of shooting dozens of Plasma Arrows every second... They will last only for twenty more minutes, at this rate. I have to end this before that happens."

...

The spirits were also leveling up quite fast, so perhaps Leon's worries would soon disappear. However, ten minutes later, Leon noticed that that wouldn't be the case. Despite having lost half of their forces, the demi-minotaurs were still fighting fiercely. At some point, they decide to ignore the problems the spirits were causing to them and focus solely on taking down as many humans as they could with them.

? "Why things can never go as planned..." Leon said and then sighed.

Leon didn't want that, but he ended making a few mithril spears... soon he would run out of mana liquid, and he couldn't wait for his recovery solve everything else. He didn't want to rely on tools, but he didn't have much of a choice because his fellow humans were still dying at an astounding pace even though he was killing dozens of demi-minotaurs every second.

Leon thought that things couldn't get worse, but it actually could. From the backline, Leon saw a single demi-minotaur charging forward and even knocking down his friends. When he reached the first human line of defense, he ignored it and just passed and killed them as if he was a mad bull. The creature was so powerful and fast that it stopped when it was above the underground city, and by the look of it, the creature intended to destroy everything downward until it reaches the city.

"So, that is the most powerful demi-minotaur..."

Leon couldn't see them clearly before because of the wave of dust the battle created, but now he could the three meters tall humanoid creatures. As expected, they had great physiques, and they also looked quite human. However, their mouth was a bit larger, and they had two horns above their ears. Amidst the human army, a single soldier stepped forward to stop the beast... it was Hector and his red lance.

"That idiot... here I am trying not to play the hero, and then he appears at such a convenient moment."
