Chapter 182: A fierce battle
Everything was incredibly chaotic within the manor as fires licked at all the houses. Groups of black robed people scurried hither and thither amidst waves of panic as Gryphon Legion soldiers chased them everywhere, completely throwing the manor into wild disarray.
“Wait for us!” Two shapely black figures suddenly rushed out as Han Shuo, Emily, and Gilbert were running in another direction.
Han Shuo knew this should be Phoebe as soon as he heard the voice. It went without saying that the other person was Candice. The two of them had set fire to everything when the mission had just begin. As a fire mage swordsman, such matters came naturally to Candice. She had engulfed the entire place in a sea of flames after a short while.
There were a few Gryphon Legion soldiers behind them, and another awe inspiring elder wielding a longsword that flared with silver fighting aura.
The man quickly dashed over, and his imposing presence made it hard for one to look directly at him. He lightly waved the great sword in his hand and thoroughly pulverized all trees, shrubbery, and rocks in the silver fighting aura’s path. Even the ground split open with various cracks, demonstrating the frightening ferocity of the fighting aura.
“He’s Clark’s master, great swordmaster Gabriel! We need to get out of here!” Candice grew extremely worried as she called out and fled towards Han Shuo with an even faster speed.
Gabriel was extremely swift as he’d flung the Gryphon Legion soldiers with him far behind. As a great swordmaster, Gabriel possessed extreme strength. Han Shuo needed to take one glance at him to know that there was no one beside him who could fight Gabriel alone.
As they witnessed Gabriel picking up speed, about to overtake Phoebe and Candice, Han Shuo’s heart clenched as he looked at Gabriel, suddenly remembering the might of Gilbert’s transformation and immediately shouted, “Damn it, hurry up and transform!”
Han Shuo concentrated like he never had before and, at the same time, compelled the Demonslayer Edge to fly wildly at great swordmaster Gabriel. Infusing the Demonslayer Edge with magical yuan, a thick magical aura flared out from it, with a bizarre sense of fire and frost interspersed within it.
“I know, all is a mess here anyways. Just destroy anything that gets in your way. Don’t pay heed to anything else as long as we can get out of here.” Han Shuo didn’t put any restrictions on Gilbert now as long as they could make it out of this sticky situation alive.
When Caspian heard Han Shuo’s orders, he seemed to want to protest, but when he thought of how Han Shuo had helped him numerous times already and that he was trying to get everyone out alive, he said nothing in the end after moving his lips a few times.
“Wahahaha, then alright, I’ll do as I see fit!” Gilbert spoke excitedly with his dignified voice.
That heavily fanged mouth suddenly yawned open and sprayed a gout of acidic poison into the distance. Dragonbreath accompanied this spray, and the archers, who had just set up their formation, hastily retreated. Those who didn’t back up in time were reduced to melting flesh after their bodies had came into contact with the acid. Death was the only way out for them.
After this breath went out, scores of Gryphon Legion soldiers appeared suddenly. They wielded silver spears and gleaming silver armor as they flew in on the backs of gryphons. The person in front was fierce and stocky. He looked middle aged as the silver fighting aura from the spear in his hand shot out two to three meters tall, making that silver spear, carved with mystical patterns, appearing even longer.
“Hurry and go, Bob Ascher has arrived! It looks like the Calamity Church has failed indeed!” When he saw that the dark dragon still wanted to rampage around, Han Shuo quickly kicked him in the side and hastily gave this order.
