Chapter 794: Legendary Support

Chapter 794: Legendary Support

The moment Pintu barked his orders, 15 people behind the formation raised their hands and aimed at the nearest Archer and Cardinal Towers.

The ferrymen at the back were retreating with their avian beasts. They didn’t want to get involved in the fight and suffer stupid losses like the one they had already incurred with their fellow ferryman.

Soon after, fireballs, wind blades, water blades, powerful gusts, and various other attacks shot towards the towers.

"Not so soon."

A calm, feminine voice rang out, and the next moment, white defensive domes covered the towers.

Thuuusssss!! Clip! Clip!

The attacks struck and immediately engulfed the white barriers, but when the elements subsided, not a single attack had pierced them.

"This!"

Pintu’s eyes widened as he spotted the White Lizardwoman, hands raised, a magic circle about 1 meter wide glowing at her fingertips.

"Get that woman first!" he roared, summoning his greatsword before rushing forward.

Jialou was about to tackle him with his own greatsword, but James took command.

"You all handle the rest. I’ll hold him back."

James didn’t say he would defeat him because the man before him was much stronger.

James had only managed to reach Low 3-Star after coming to the territory, while the man in front of him was Peak 3-Star.

"Weakling!" Pintu shouted as he lunged forward.

Clang!

James’ gauntlets met the greatsword, but the impact pushed him slightly backwards.

Crackle!

"Hm?!"

Pintu’s pupils contracted, and he immediately disengaged, creating some distance between them.

"What? Scared?" James provoked, grinning as the electric sparks around his fists subsided.

If that attack had connected, Pintu would have been partially paralysed over his fingers.

At that moment, Pintu narrowed his eyes and observed the faint white glow surrounding James and the other nearby close-combatants. He immediately realised that the White Lizardwoman had used some kind of enhancement magic.

Leaving Pintu to his thoughts, James rushed forward, but the man raised one hand and aimed at him.

Piu! Piu! Piu!

Spikes shot forward, but—

Ting! Ting!

A white barrier formed around James, blocking all the attacks and letting him charge on unhindered.

"That woman!"

Pintu was about to counterattack when a dangerous shadow loomed behind him.

"Crap!"

THAM!

He barely blocked Jbear’s claw strike by twisting his body, but the impact drove him toward James.

Crackle—!

Dhoom!

James struck the man in the back, sending him flying back toward Jbear, where the beast’s claws closed around him.

"Fucking hel—AHH!"

He was struck and thrown elsewhere on the battlefield.

Meanwhile, people were already fighting.

The elves had taken out multiple weak targets with their precise arrows. They targeted the enemy archers first, ensuring they wouldn’t disturb the frontline fighters.

"None of you can stand against me!!"

Cindriss—Thalvyr’s daughter—shouted as she swept her spear in a wide arc, forming a bright flame arc that sent multiple men flying backwards; their bodies burned wherever the flames struck.

Ting! Ting!

When a few wind blades flew toward her, a white barrier immediately rose around her.

"Thank you, Mother!" Cindriss called out to Zharrissa before thrusting her spear at the nearest enemy, eliminating him.

ROOOOAAARRRR!!!

The handful of Beast Masters immediately summoned their beasts, but—

Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!

Howl’s avatar rushed forward and slapped them with his wide palm, severely injuring the various beasts and even eliminating some of the weaker ones.

"Dammit! Get that huge golem and the white woman first!"

Pintu managed to stand after James and his beast’s combined assault.

A shallow, two-way slash stretched across his chest from Ironclaw Grizzly—now a Mid 3-Star beast—while a blackened bruise marked his back from James’ electric punch.

At that moment, he immediately raised his greatsword to block a magic shot.

"This!"

It was a primitive plasma shot from the Prototype Golem’s gun.

"Fuck it! Rockarmor, come out!" he shouted, summoning his beast.

Suddenly, a huge beast appeared on the battlefield, distracting everyone for a moment.

It was a 20-meter-tall beast that towered over everybody.

It looked like a turtle, with a sturdy, rocky hide covering its entire back.

"Haha! The leader’s beast has come out! We’re going to win!" Some of the enemy men’s morale soared/

"Everyone, be careful! It’s a Pseudo 4-Star beast!" Zharrissa warned from behind, then pressed her palm to the ground.

As the highest-ranked individual present, she could sense the beast’s level.

The next second, white magic circles appeared on the ground around the Rockarmor Turtle, and multiple white energy chains shot upward, latching onto its limbs.

"Hmph! Worthless!"

Just as Pintu said that, the Rockarmor Turtle moved its legs and, after struggling for a moment, managed to break the chains.

WOOOO!

The beast roared through its turtle-like head and stomped on the ground.

Shik! Shik! Shik!

Multiple earthen spikes rose from the ground, heading towards the territory members. But then, the ground beneath the territory members hardened, preventing the spikes from emerging at their intended locations.

The veins on Pintu’s forehead bulged as he immediately looked at Zharrissa, who was responsible for this.

"Damn you, Lizardwoman!"

"Look here!" James’ voice rang out.

But before Pintu could react, James closed the distance using his Electric application and punched him in the face.

"Ack!"

Pintu’s face reddened from the punch, and he was thrown backwards.

Unfortunately, James’ strikes didn’t pack enough power to eliminate a Peak 3-Star individual. He could only rely on his years of battle experience to hold him back.

Meanwhile, Jialou wove through one man after another. Nobody on the enemy side could match his weapon prowess, especially when he switched weapons mid-fight to counter every kind of enemy effectively.

The 28 subordinates were no less valiant.

But still, nearly half of them were injured too badly to keep fighting.

Leo, who had been observing the battle from the shadows, simply waved his hand at the perfect moments, using his abilities to protect them from fatal blows. He then formed cocoons of Earthen Matter around them, sealing them so they wouldn’t be teleported away.

"I think I need to learn a thing or two from Brother James..." Leo muttered.

James’ skills were simply top-notch. He could hold his own against someone three minor realms above him without relying on any special abilities. Not to mention, his timing in summoning his beasts was perfect.

Leo looked at the elven archers, who provided continuous covering fire, and the Prototype Golem, which smashed and hacked people and beasts left and right.

Orvik, standing far in the back, looked frivolous as he issued commands, almost as if he were getting drunk just watching his creation in action.

And then there was the most important person—Zharrissa.

Even though she was focused solely on handling the Rockarmor Turtle right now, she still provided the necessary support to everyone else when needed.

"AAHHHHH!!! WHAT IS HAPPENING?! WHY IS ALL THIS HAPPENING?!"

Pintu was enraged that his side couldn’t achieve any meaningful results.

Nearly half of his men had been eliminated, and he hadn’t taken out a single person from the territory. Even those on the verge of elimination had been protected by that ridiculously strong cocoon that appeared out of nowhere!
