Novel Bin Chapter 478 - 478 Race against time.
“No way anything down there is still alive.” Radley whispered receiving nods from every other person in the group, except for Blake.
Although the combined strength of more than 2000 spells was nothing to play with; Radley was more confident because the high mana density of the area drastically increased the strength of their spells.
‘I need to teach them how to keep their mouths shut.’ Blake cursed.
If there was one thing that Blake had understood so far, it was that whatever could go wrong would definitely go wrong.
With the major generals not moving an inch, the rest of the army did not make a move. They stood mid-air for close to a minute 5 minutes before a pillar of fire shot through the ground.
The scorching pillar of flames was not only incredibly fast, but was so large that it could cover an entire special ops unit.
“Shit!” The special ops unit in the path of the flames cursed as they tried to get out of the way, but the pillar of flames was too fast for them.
Just as they were about to get drowned in the sea of flames, a mana pillar twice the size of the flames blocked its path.
.....
“More are coming, brace yourselves.” Major Briggs warned the special ops.
Just a few seconds after they had given the warning, tunnels began appearing and more spells were shot out.
This time the special ops units were more than ready to evade them, but it was also at that moment that a pillar of mana fell from the sky.
“What the???”
It was common knowledge that a pillar of mana was a beast evolution, but the evolution process lasted for hours. So, for one to appear at such a time meant that the beast was planning on going berserk.
Berserk beasts were stronger than proper newly evolved beasts because they fought without a care of their lives even if that meant burning their own core.
The function of the mana pillar in a beast’s evolution process was to heal and supply the beast with mana as its body was continuously torn apart and rebuilt.
So as long as they didn’t take the evolving peak king rank beast out of the mana pillar then it was basically undying.
“We are going for the evolving beasts.” Gareth, the major general in charge of the eastern wall said as a fireball 10 times his size appeared.
“You forgot to tell them to back off!” Major Briggs facepalmed at the recklessness of the generals, but he could understand his decision because they were in a race against time.
Although the evolution process had begun, they still had a little bit of time before the beast would begin getting the physical properties and spells of its evolved self.
That was why they were doing everything necessary to blow up the ground and get to it.
Sunfire pillar!
Instead of throwing the gigantic fireball as everyone expected, major Gareth held it up with one hand as a pillar of flame shot down.
The pillar of flames shot into the mana pillar and onto the ground; instantly blasting through 10 meters of rock while creating a shockwave that sent both king rank beasts and a few unlucky humans flying.
‘As long as it killed some of them, I have no complaints.’ Blake said as he jumped down from a tree top and let Ebony and Ivory loose.
AWOOO!
The wolves howled as they crashed onto the ground in their combined form, causing the 30-plus king rank beasts in the area to turn in their direction.
Without wasting time, the now 7-meter grey wolf with both red and blue markings charged at the closest beast.
Sensing the terrifying aura coming from the grey wolf, the king rank knox knew it had no chance of beating them alone.
The king rank knox roared for help as it stood on its hind legs before the green markings on its body began glowing. Its brown fur turned to still while it simultaneously conjured a thick wall of chromastone.
Seeing the chromastone only made Ebony and Ivory increase their speed. The blue markings on their body turned red changing their grey fur to black. Ebony and Ivory burst into flames as they jumped into the air and began spinning toward the knox.
“They never learn.” Blake shook his head in pity as he watched Ebony and Ivory tunnel through the chromastone and into the brown bear before clamping on its neck.
Thanks to the hardened fur of the king rank knox, Ebony and Ivory weren’t able to take off its head in one bite; unfortunately for the knox, it had unknowingly chosen a more gruesome death.
With their teeth centimeters into the knox’s neck, Ebony and Ivory’s black skin changed to pure white. The red marking turned to blue and instantly the king rank beast began freezing from the inside out.
In less than 5 seconds, the 6-meter-tall king rank knox had become a block of ice which they shattered with a stomp.
“What the fuck?!”
Both humans and the king rank beasts were beyond shocked by what happened because this was a battle between 2 king rank beasts, but it hadn’t lasted up to 20 seconds.
The king rank beasts that were on their way to help the knox immediately halted in their tracks, because if a naturally defensive king rank beast was taken out so easily, what would happen to them?
‘What rank is his weapon and where the hell did he get it from?!’ The ash corps who had watched the fight couldn’t help but ask.
