Chapter 981 Time Left
“Move!..Get in! Quickly!!”
Julian shouted loudly as his hand waved repeatedly, gesturing towards the crowd of survivors, who in response swiftly began to run frantically towards the center of the Platoon 1 base where the transport vessel was.
Currently, barely a third of the total number of survivors had entered the construct. Most of them were stuck waiting for their turn to step forward and onto the ship, while the rest who were left far behind the line screamed in terror as the streets of the base had been filled with countless Abyss creatures.
At this time, not just the broken east gate and north gate but all around 10 miles of the wall has been overflowing with abyss creatures. There were millions of them entering the base.
Lurker came out of the narrow alleys and pounced on nearby survivors, while Crawler leapt off second-floor buildings that were widely visible within the base, killing those unlucky enough to be nearby at the time. The Abyss creatures made sure to wreak havoc amidst the crowd of survivors, causing some of them to break out of the mob in search of safety.
The third platoon acolytes were overwhelmed when they saw the chaos amongst the survivors and tried their best to save as many of them as possible. Unfortunately, the acolytes who only numbered in the hundreds were simply not comparable to the millions of survivors.
Fortunately as they got closer to the center of the base, there were more metal golems and also some of the first platoon acolyte joined the battle.
“Just a little bit more! Keep moving!” said the captain on the other side of the mass
While fending off the Abyss creatures that attacked the survivors, Roran attentively checked the device in his hand as he heard that it suddenly emitted a certain sound.
[Time left: 0 hours 0 minutes]
[Magus Academy’s Mid test completed]
[All acolytes are called upon to return to the academy to receive final points]
It seemed just like what the Nephilim girl said, the mid-test would not end automatically like the virtual games they had experienced before. They were required to enter directly into the construct in order to leave, or in their particular case, activate their combat suit’s function of teleportation.
Many acolytes also realized that the Abyss creature he had just killed no longer added to his total points. Hence right now, the only reason they continued to stay on this planet was simply to help the survivors escape.
However, to everyone’s complete surprise, the towering construct that stood tall in the center of the base suddenly made rumbling sounds. Moments later, a bright light began to appear and enveloped the entire surface.
A thought flashed through the harlight prince’s mind and his expression turned to disbelief at this sight.
“Are they really going to leave now?! There are still a lot of people who still haven’t entered!”
The possibility of such a thing happening quickly brough panic to the acolytes who were still fighting on the ground.
***
A figure was seen rushing towards the north side of the base. Upon seeing a familiar object in the sky, Armand Nephilim swiftly approached the Nephilim Princess who was currently safe within the protection of her golden vessel.
“Everything is ready, Sister Jinkan,” Armand said respectfully. “What’s your next order? Should we go now?”
The girl did not immediately respond and her gaze was fixed elsewhere. Armand could see how sweat was dripping profusely down her cheeks, and thus he turned to look in the direction she was looking at and immediately fell into shock.
In the distance, where many deafening sounds and destruction occurred, two figures – the dragon bloodline and the Nephilim genius – were battling a terrifying three meter tall humanoid figure.
A large sword swung violently relentlessly, only to be parried and flown back towards its owner each time. Several golden colored flying artifacts also suffered the same fate, only being able to helplessly bounce off the huge half human half insect figure, barely able to injure it at all.
Clank!! Bamm!! Clank!!panda-novel,c,om
Just a minute ago, the previous stage 7 Abyss creature – Royal Centipede – had evolved and transformed into humanoid form. The powerful sword and artifact that were previously capable of breaking and injuring the creature’s body seemed to have lost their edge as they barely affected the figure.
The fight became exponentially more difficult not only because of the seemingly impervious body of the transformed Abyss creature but also of the fact that it was now even capable of casting spells.
[Meteorite Body]
The Tier 6 body enhancement spell derived from metal elements quickly took effect, hardening the already impenetrable body, resisting all attacks from the two prodigies.
Clank! Clank! Clank!!
Zach’s multiple sword skill was blocked and retaliation swiftly came for the Dragon bloodline, as a fist quickly sunk into his body and sent him flying into the distance, crashing into a building.
BOOMMMM!!!
After swatting the Dragon bloodline prodigy like a fly, the humanoid figure turned his gaze towards Eeshoo, who was still busy controlling the flying artifacts to attack it, with an ominous smile on his face.
“Hahahaha, this.. Is… what being… human.. Is… I like it…”
It was obvious that not only the transformed Abyss creature could take on the form of Magus Raynor, but it could also use the spells and skills the latter possessed during his lifetime. The monster fought like an enhanced version of the Magus Commander, one that had broken through to the illustrious Grand Magus level.
To put it simply, the current Abyss creature was an existence that was beyond the capabilities of the acolytes, even the most resplendent of geniuses.
Seeing such a creature staring at him, Eeshoo could immediately feel a strong shiver involuntarily run down his spine.
He hated it.
Worst of all, the abomination seemed to be able to sense his fear as it smiled evilly at him.
On the other hand, Zach’s figure slowly rose from the rubble of the building his body had crushed. Even though he had clearly suffered a loss, the man still seemed to want to give the creature another try. In fact, the Dragon bloodline seemed to be growing a personal grudge against the creature.
For Eeshoo, the smart decision was to retreat; however, he couldn’t. He was Eeshoo Nephilim, the known prodigy. He would absolutely not run when the half-blood still stood and fought the Abyss creature.
No! He had always been able to defy all odds. Therefore he would stay and fight.
Knowing that this would be an arduous fight, Eeshoo pulled out half a dozen items from his spatial ring. Gauntlets, boots, pendants, armor, and his rarely seen weapon – a longbow. All of them were special Tier 5 weapons, and would help him bring his power to the utmost maximum.
On the other side, the insect part that lies on the figure’s back trembles before multiple sharp insect legs come out of it turning into a deadly weapon.
Afterwards, the clash between the three figures rose to another level that exceeded expectations, causing none of the acolytes observing the battle to dare to approach.
The sight was so terrifying that Armand’s legs softened and he almost fell to the ground.
“Sister!, that thing,… we.. we should leave now!”
Unfortunately for him, Jinkan once again ignored him. The Nephilim Princess had called Eeshoo to retreat a few times, but this was one of those rare times when the Eeshoo ignored her words.
Seeing her partner facing danger, she no longer cared about points and achievement. If she had to, she would be willing to turn the 6 millions survivors into bait for the slightest chance that Eeshoo could survive.
Unconsciously she turns her head toward a certain building hoping for a little miracle to happen.
