BXBX NOVEL Chapter 496 Death
Lar, Roy, and Terrence were critically injured while Millie and Ceri had luckily activated their life-saving treasures in time that protected their bodies from the explosions.
Nevertheless, the two of them still went unconscious after having their Mana drained.
Professor Levent looked at the five Grand Knights who were at the bottom of the craters created by the explosions.
At this moment, the Excellent River Dragon Formation is already destroyed. There are no hopes of repairing them at all.
She then shifted her gaze to the Cultists who seem to be affected by the close-range explosion as well. However, they might charge again and finish off the Grand Knights!
"Not good… We have to retreat… If another squad decided to launch that suicidal attack for the second time, we\'ll all be annihilated here. Our defenses are weaker than the Grand Knights."
Brycen nodded at this as he immediately moved.
"I\'ll take the Grand Knights with me while my Transformation is still active. Cover me…"
Patriarch Leon and Levent agreed on his plan as they decided to cover Brycen with everything they\'ve got.
While Levent controlled the ground to lift the Grand Knights so Brycen can easily take them, Leon cast a Smokescreen and Fire Wall to block the vision of the cultists…
He knows that the explosions just now had also affected the cultists so they should have some time to recover the injured Grand Knights.
Furthermore, he had actually seen Thyrus attacking amid the cultists using his manifested spears… He was able to tell that Thyrus still has plenty of mana so he should be able to buy them enough time to save Lar and the others. Unless someone clung to him and trigger the bomb in their body, he shouldn\'t be too worried about him dying.
In addition to that, one golem managed to survive the explosions. It is already on its way to create havoc as Irio controlled it to mess with the cultists.
The two other golems had died protecting the Celestials Beings near them…
At this point, the Celestials had already engaged in melee combat against the Cultists!
***
Luna charged forward as she was the only one with the Celestial Armor… Currently, the other Celestials weren\'t able to show their full strength because of the Aether Field that the cultists have created.
Although she only appears very young compared to the other Celestial, she\'s actually quite aggressive with her fighting techniques…
Clang!
Her sword was blocked by a shield covered by Aether, if she stayed like this, it will slowly consume her Celestial Energy so she hastily kicked the man away in the direction of the golem!
Bam!
At the same time, the five-meter-tall golem slammed this cultist perfectly as if the two had talked about this combination.
Well, Luna was actually good at throwing her targets… She wouldn\'t engage with Cultists for a very long time and she would just push them really hard to the location of the other Celestials or even the Golem to land the finishing blow.
This way, none of them would be too exposed to the Aether…
"Aaarghhh!"
Suddenly, Luna heard Thyrus\' cry who had dared to charge in the midst of the cultists… He really did a good job stalling for time and killing two of the cultists but his mana is already at the critical moment.
As he was stabbed by a spear in his stomach, his Tier 5 Body Transformation has finally deactivated…
He failed to retreat before his Tier 5 Mana Art was over!
"We\'ll save him!"
Three Celestial Beings pounced forward and used the abilities of their Magic Tools.
They suddenly bombarded the cultists with Elemental Arts that surprised Altair and the other squads. After all, the Celestials they were previously dealing with were incapable of using Mana Arts. Or perhaps, they have chosen not to use Elemental Arts…
"So annoying!" Altair bit his thumb and sprayed his blood in the direction of the Celestial Beings who had pounced on them…
The three Unnumbered Celestials didn\'t dodge it. It was not because they were arrogant, it was because they trust the defensive magic tools they have with them…
Although these tools only have about 15% of their durabilities, they know that they would still work until they were completely destroyed.
Pssshhh~~
As soon as the sprayed blood touches the Celestial Beings\' defenses, they suddenly turned like some sort of acid corroding their armor and weapons!
Seeing this, they immediately threw their weapons in the cultists\' direction.
Bam!
Altair didn\'t expect that these Celestials wouldn\'t care about their high-grade magic tools. After all, fighting their cult members barehanded wouldn\'t be easy even if they are Celestial Beings.
This had obviously disrupted his plans…
He was thinking of secretly engraving explosive runes on their weapons and surprising them later on by triggering them closer to their faces.
However, now that they decisively threw these weapons, he had no other choice but to dodge…
Two of the weapons struck the cultists behind him killing them on the spot! He really can\'t underestimate the physical strength of these Celestials. Although their Celestial Core should be having a hard time right now, their bones and muscles were still deadly to humans like them.
\'Tsk…\'
Altair realized that his mission this time can\'t be completed. They have to acknowledge their defeat this time.
"I will remember this!" Altair angrily stepped back as he saw the three Celestials protecting Thyrus and carrying him back to their line.
Altair then shifted his gaze to the members of his group.
"Our life for god! Death to the enemy!"
He shouted at the top of his lungs. At first, it seems like a normal battle cry.
However, Luna and Agatha felt something off about this as they realized that the cultists, other than Altair, seem to have received the signal to do something dreadful!
\'No way! These cultists were suicidal maniacs!\'
