Chapter 184
Chapter 184 Extermination
If the battle before was just a more intense battle to slay evil, the battle now was a bloody brawl that concerned their very lives.
The Fire Deity’s self-destruction had created a terrifying crater in the middle of the valley. The lava in the pool far away was quickly flowing here. Streams of fire radiating unbearable temperatures were filling the hole bit by bit, igniting everything in their path.
It probably wouldn’t take another fifteen minutes before the entire valley would be covered in boiling magma, turning the entire place into an even larger lava pool.
Thus, with a powerful enemy before them and a sea of flames catching up behind them, the only escape route for the remaining eleven spellbreaker knights was to break through Greem’s blockade.
This was the only way they could live.
Odd screeches rang out from the woods around the valley. Large groups of bloodsucking vampires swarmed out from within, hurtling towards the witcher-knights that wanted to turn back and save their leaders. As for the woods that the witcher-knights were in, the earth beneath them violently split open. Countless horrifying scorpions surged forth from below the ground, instantly disrupted the formation of the witcher-knights, who had no one to direct them.
Having sent all their subordinates to deal with the witcher-knights, Bloody Mary and Evil Bugs Acteon turned into a red flash and a cluster of black smoke, rushing out of the woods and leaping over Greem and the Fire Lord to charge straight at the disorganized spellbreaker knights.
He didn’t even know how many magic colts he had swapped out. The magic colt he was riding right now was also severely wounded and exhausted.
Ninther suddenly laughed, bitterly watching Greem as he slowly walked towards him. He got off the magic colt with much difficulty and patted it on its back.
“Go. If you have the opportunity to escape then go!”
Perhaps the colt understood Ninther’s words. It let out a long whinny, took a look at the mighty Greem, and quickly ran away in fear. Without the burden of the knights, it might actually be able to find a way out through the steep stone cliff surroundings before the lava arrived.
With great difficulty Ninther, who had chosen to stay behind, took off the red hot armor. He gripped the runic blade tightly with his bloody, burnt hands. He looked calmly upon Greem, who was striding over, as if he was about to die alongside the enemy.
Greem shook his head when he saw Ninther’s provocative eyes. He waved his hands, and the Fire Lord strode past him towards this final enemy.
Disappointment filled Ninther’s eyes.
This enemy was far too careful. Even when he had the absolute advantage, he still didn’t let it go to his head. He was willing to let go of the sweetest fruit of victory in the entire battle!
It’s important to note how much of an honor and glory it was, as the commander of such a large battle, to personally take the head of the enemy leader! Yet the opponent let go of this chance so easily and simply!
For the first time, Ninther started to understand why he had lost today.
The opponent… all of the opponents, from the mastermind to the summoned beings, were a bunch of fellows that didn’t give a single damn about a knight’s honor!
Ninther had activated inumerable knight battle techniques from the start of the battle until now. Both his stamina and will were at their limits. Looking at the flame giant that was slowly nearing, he pulled out two Elementium crystals pulsing with energy, and stuffed them into his mouth. He ran towards the opponent while screaming.
One of the Elementium crystals was red, while the other was blue. Clearly, they were one fire crystal and one ice crystal.
The two Elementium crystals of opposing elements, along with the last bit of blood essence he forced out, would be able to deliver critical damage to the opponent once he self-destructed, even if he couldn’t kill the opponent.
This was his only means of damaging his enemy at this point!
Greem silently smiled, a cold expression on his face, as he looked upon the charging Ninther and the chaotic elemental flux in his body.
Before Ninther could self-destruct, the Fire Lord vanished in a blast of fire. The earth beneath Ninther loosened and a stone serpent with its mouth wide opened rushed out, completely swallowing him. The stone serpent then swiftly sunk into the ground again.
A short moment later, a muffled bang echoed from deep within the ground.
The entire valley silently shook. Countless deep cracks appeared as the earth quaked. The woods nearby shook along with the ground.
At that moment, countless leaves fell, and dust filled the skies!
