[Bonus chapter] | 109.Attack on Gera City [3]
When the storm spears rained from the sky, Jake used the Sphere of Darkness. He wasn’t sure about his pride, but this skill could stop any attack.
Su! Su! Su!
The magical spears were as long as a grown man’s height. As they fell down, most of them converged on the black sphere, battering on it with extreme ferocity.
Jake’s mana was rapidly running out trying to maintain the Sphere of Darkness. This attack of the elvish archer was extremely powerful. His defensive shield was fully blocking it but he wouldn’t last long if this kept on.
‘It’s Nature Magic…’ Jake thought. He suddenly lost his balance in the air and began falling. Clenching his teeth, he spread his hands, eyes burning with power, and enlarged the sphere.
His fall created a large gust of wind which pushed the bricks and roof tiles away.
More spears rained on the place Jake fell. His Sphere of Darkness dimmed, and some attacks pierced through his body, drawing blood. A crater-like small structure formed on the ground.
Jake knelt, feeling the chaotic thunder coursing through his body. Clenching his Black Reaper, he used [Blood Regeneration].
When the thunder spears stopped raining, Calliya rose to the air, to see if she had slayed the demon. She was confident in her skill, but her eyes widened when she saw the demon still standing.
His robes were tattered, but his wounds were healing at rapid speed. Jake swung his huge scythe, cutting the cloud of dust around him.
He kicked the ground and attacked the dark elf, aiming for her neck.
”Hah!” She hurriedly blocked it with her black bow. A crisp metallic sound rang out. Jake’s strength was higher and Calliya flew paces away upon impact, with multiple minor cuts bursting on her body.
Her body slammed a nearby house’s door. There were two kids hiding inside. They shouted seeing a bloodied woman.
”R-Run…” Calliya weakly muttered and pushed herself from the ground.
”Run!” The dark elf coughed a mouthful of blood. The children jolted and scurried away.
Calliya looked behind and kicked the ground, going another away.
…
Rwarrggh!
On the other side of the city, Droge roared again and bit the paladin’s body. Flapping its wings, the creature created another large gust of wind and went higher in the sky.
Above the clouds, it began controlling the weather of the area. Bringing in more dark clouds and gathering those which remained from Calliya’s earlier attack. It liked to cause chaos.
”Aaah!”
”Run!”
The people killed each other while running away from the monster even though it wasn’t attacking them now.
Children were stepped on, elderly pushed away. The city guards, those which were still alive, looked at this scene. Helpless. Terrified. Angry.
At this moment, something fell from the sky. The wyvern had thrown Orpheus’ body from that high up. A dent formed on the road where the paladin had landed. The knights were quite near and their hearts scattered upon seeing this scene.
…
Whoosh!
Jake tightly chased after the injured dark elf. This 4th Circle Magic Archer was also running out of mana after using such a powerful skill.
”God, lend me…”
He suddenly heard the bishop’s voice. Panchel wasn’t dead yet and had secretly followed them. Jake clicked his tongue and rotated his body in the air.
[Demonic Grasp]
The bishop landed hard on a house’s wall as Jake used the skill. All of Panchel’s bones broke, and he fell unconscious on the spot, unable to complete his prayer.
Jake fell on the ground and an arrow suddenly came his way. Without using his defensive skill, Jake flew straight to the dark elf. The arrow pierced through his right shoulder, pushing him back into the air.
But he just pulled it and flew ahead. His wound began healing as he used [Minor Regeneration]. Equipping Black Reaper, Jake’s vitality had increased by 30. The injuries he had gained until now couldn’t hinder him as they healed quickly.
It frustrated Calliya at first, but now she felt fear. Her mana was depleted and she could not kill this demon at all. Even though she was a 4th Circle Archer, she felt helpless.
The more arrows she shot, the more her fear increased. She took a step back.
Looking around, this place was a mess. Father Panchel was most likely dead. Orpheus… even he was down. If not for that wyvern, they could have maybe beaten him…
‘No, No! I have to run!’ Calliya’s danger instincts peaked.
She kicked the ground again and landed on top of a broken house. Her steps were nimble as she went towards the less populated area. There was an underground exit out of this city! She had to-
[Blood Control]
”Ack!” The elf woman suddenly clutched her chest. Her heart was beating too fast. Turning around, she saw the demon near her, cloaking the bright moon with his tall, dark figure.
Hovering above her with his two long wings, his eyes like a predator’s, Jake seemed like the manifestation of evil to Calliya. Her eyes bulged and her hot blood rushed.
Her hair stood, and she shuddered. Her lips trembling, Calliya lifted her bow again. But she couldn’t lock an aim on the demon even when he was so close.
He was above her, staring into her soul. Tasting her terror, Jake’s tongue felt bitter. He wanted to spit but smiled at this moment.
”No…” Calliya stumbled.
”D-Don’t come near!” Tears came from her eyes. She shouldn’t be like this, but her terror increased. The dark elf felt herself going mad.
Jake landed on the ground and walked towards her. Calliya couldn’t hear the roars of the wyvern which was destroying the city. Everything faded into the background. Only this man, only his footsteps entered her ears.
”No! No! NO! Aaaaa!” Calliya held her head. Her legs violently trembled, and she didn’t know when she peed.
The demon lifted his scythe after coming in front of her. She was unable to move nor speak. But he didn’t swing the blade.
