BXBX NOVEL Chapter 416: Stopped
Before Rain could decide what to do next, the enemy kept moving like that. Sometimes, he would approach to make his guard be raised, and then he would move away…
The enemy wanted Rain to waste his time, so he quickly charged in again. Out of reflex, the enemy summoned several earth walls to block his Charge, but Rain destroyed them all with his Charge. Out of reflex as well, the enemy began to zigzag among the enemies lines and moved away from the battlefield… his speed was quite annoying.
"This guy…" Rain thought.
The enemy wasn\'t emitting any bloodlust… he didn\'t want to fight Rain at all, only to lure him to a trap or something else. In the end, Rain looked around, but he didn\'t find any signs of the special soldiers, and he didn\'t like that…
With a serious expression, Rain turned around and then retreated… he could influence the whole battlefield without having to kill those guys first, and he was okay with that.
After just two steps, Rain returned to where Terra was and then checked the surroundings again… Rain observed the human soldiers advancing with raised shields, and menacing spears pointed toward the magic people. It was a coordinated and aggressive approach. However, Rain soon witnessed how the magic people responded to this imminent threat.
Among them, Martial artists displayed incredible agility and skill. They expertly disarmed the human soldiers with swift movements, snatching away their weapons and casting them aside. Then, they executed a series of powerful body slams against the shields, causing them to tremble and ultimately collapse.
Simultaneously, the mages positioned at the rear of the magic people\'s formation demonstrated their own talents. They adeptly intercepted the small projectiles launched by the human soldiers, manipulating their trajectories with magic.
These projectiles soared upwards before elegantly arcing down, creating a sense of vulnerability among the human soldiers who now remained vigilant against potential aerial attacks. It was a display of both martial and magical prowess that kept the enemy forces on edge.
"What is wrong?" Terra asked.
"They showed themselves to lure me toward them, but they don\'t want to fight," Rain said. "I don\'t like this. They are plotting something different than usual."
"They are scheming again, I guess…" Terra furrowed her eyebrows. "I will inform you if I notice anything suspicious. For now, you should focus on disarming them and decreasing their numbers as well. Help those who are being pushed backward."
Rain felt like sighing… helping those guys who truly didn\'t want to follow his orders was annoying, but Terra had a point… that would decrease his workload in the future.
After turning around again, Rain charged toward the enemies and soon knocked down several of them with Charge. After that, he began to throw shields around like they were boomerangs… they never returned, but they sure caused a lot of damage. They could have high resistance to magic now, but they weren\'t highly resistant to impacts.

…
Just using stamina was enough to wreak havoc among the enemy\'s lines, so Rain did exactly that… At the same time, he focused on attacking and killing the soldiers who looked the most enraged. The reason for that was the fact that Rain would stop fighting and look around and analyze the battlefield.
The battlefield transformed into a maelstrom of chaos as humans clashed fiercely with magic people. The relentless clash of weapons and the explosive release of magic spells created an overwhelming cacophony, drowning out all other sounds. This starkly contrasted with the previous war, which had been more structured and less brutal.
Mercury Swords clashed against shields with a resounding clang while spears and staffs jabbed incessantly, aiming to penetrate armor and flesh. The air crackled with the unleashed power of magic, manifesting in dazzling displays of color and energy.
Fireballs detonated, enveloping the combatants in scorching flames, while ice shards streaked through the chaotic fray, freezing soldiers in their tracks. The very ground quaked as earth mages summoned rock formations and tremors, disrupting enemy formations and sending troops sprawling.
Amid this tumultuous scene, there was no room for mercy. Combatants fought with unyielding determination and desperate resolve. Blood was spilled without hesitation, and the battlefield echoed with cries of pain and fury. The once-orderly battleground had descended into a nightmarish tableau of brutality and carnage, serving as a stark reminder of the harsh realities of war.
"I guess one side is letting out all the frustration that they got during the war, and the other is completely pissed since they don\'t like being attacked," Rain thought.
Now and then, Rain would catch glimpses of magic people being killed out of nowhere… wind blades would behead them, or earth spikes would impale them to death… the special soldiers were working, but they didn\'t want to reveal themselves, so they were working stealthily.
"They keep moving erratically, entering the range of my detection and then leaving… they must know now that I find them with earth Magic, but not all the time," Rain thought.
In the end, Rain jumped to have a clear view of the battlefield, but before he could look around that much, several ice and earth spheres were fired at him… they were big, too. Rain punched and destroyed them one after the other, but soon, he began to fall without being able to scan the surroundings from above…
