Chapter 479
Chapter 479 Dominant Descent
The battle in the night raged on.
Both parties were already fighting with all they had, and neither side refused to back down despite the heavy losses.
From an overall perspective, the Aba Beemen still held the initiative on the battlefield. The wandering squads of beeman soldiers were continuously attacking stray ogres with their poisoned arrows and spears. On the other hand, the ogre soldiers relied on their tough skin and tremendous regeneration to bulldoze through the attacks. They didn’t fear the poison arrows at all. Instead, they roared and picked up large boulders to throw at the beemen.
Whistling arrows and crashing stones flew across the woods. Beeman soldiers kept being hit and knocked down from the canopy. The already tough skin of the ogres started glowing with an intimidating red light under the effect of Mage Zac’s Bloodthirst. They waved their sticks and charged towards the defensive lines of beeman soldiers while enduring a rain of poison arrows.
The power gap between the individual troops was far too broad. Even two or three beman soldiers together couldn’t fend off a single ogre. If it weren’t for the beemen’s absolute numerical advantage, Zac might have been able to break into the nest with the four dozen ogres behind him.
These wild ogres were all at least three meters tall and built like true savages. They didn’t wear any armor or clothing, and apart from a crude piece of hide wrapped around their waist, there was no protective gear anywhere on their body.
Every time Mage Zac let out an angered roar from the back, these ogres shook their sticks and crashed against the battleline of beeman soldiers. They didn’t even try to dodge the rain of poison arrows. Instead, they would charge forward with their simple weapons, using their thick left arms to cover their more vulnerable heads.
The fearless Zac roared. A red light appeared on his body, and the thick wooden club in his hand crashed towards the light, screaming through the air.
With the help of Attack Speed Increase, Zac’s movements were several times agiler compared to before. However, this speed was utterly insignificant when faced with Bloody Mary’s high Agility.
The red light swerved and passed by the bat with millimeters to spare. Mary passed straight by Zac’s right ribs in a single flash.
Scarlet light flashed again, and Mary’s seductive body appeared in an empty spot thirty meters away. Everyone only realized that Zac had been wounded when she raised her hand and started licking the blood on her sharp claws.
Ten scratches of varying depths appeared on the right of Zac’s torso. His tough skin couldn’t deflect the claws that possessed blood energies. Ten mediocre wounds had been left on him.
Such wounds weren’t much against the powerful Physique of a two-headed ogre. Under normal circumstances, the wounds would close in three to five seconds, and all signs of injury would vanish with less than another three minutes.
Yet strangely enough, traces of blood energy had now appeared around Zac’s wounds. It didn’t matter how much Zac tried to draw upon his powers; the wounds would split apart moments after they healed due to the corrosion of the blood energy.
“Dammit! What is this?!” Zac shouted angrily. He waved the wooden bat in his hands with all his might, and one brilliant red aura after another flared up around him.
Bloodthirst!
Attack Speed Increase!
Brute Force!
Two-Headed Ogre Mage Zac’s strength was increasing exponentially under the effects of these enhancement spells. He once again roared and charged towards this enemy that angered him to no ends!
However, the one to clash with him this time wasn’t Mary. Instead, it was a Blood Knight clad in full armor– Soros.
His title of Second Grade Knight no longer held true when compared to his actual power now, but his robust body was still there. That was why Zac was quickly defeated in the area he was most proficient in after a round of close combat.
The three Second Grade knights from the other plane could only bring out the power of a First Grade elite-class here in the World of Adepts. However, that was more than enough to deal with these wild magical creatures!
Billis was hiding in the shadows, watching Mary and her Blood Knights sow discord in the battlefield like powerful whirlwinds. The terror in his heart grew even stronger as he witnessed one mighty ogre warrior after another fall to the ground like small fry.
Perhaps it is time for me to leave!
Billis secretly thought to himself.
The moment he turned, Old Fox Vanlier’s sly smile appeared before his eyes.
