A few minutes before,
The young half wolf man with a rooted arm, still fought his best at the dark tallic figure in the sky, outside of the facility.
[Oga Strike]
A brilliant gleam shot downwards as if severing the horizon, as Ery plunged from the sky towards the dark tallic figure and swung the Lightsaber in his hand.
BAMMM!!!
The blaring sound of the sword landing squarely on the figure's shoulder sounded vividly in the air. It didn't seem to have inflicted any serious injuries, but it did send the tallic figure crashing into the ground violently, spurting out blood in the process.
After going through and exchanging dozens or so clashes with the dark elf's new form, it was clear that Ery was still stronger and faster than the other party when he was still in the Fusion form with Twik.
The tallic armor the dark elf magus brought out had indeed provided many upgrades in the forr's resilience, but in monts like this, the edge of the weapon Ery was currently wielding showed its true value.
Thanks to its properties as an energy-based weapon, Ery's [Lightsaber] allowed so of the force it carried to ignore the elf's hard armor by penetrating it, which resulted in far more powerful blow compared to a normal weapon.
Seeing his opponent grimacing on the ground, as much as Ery liked to deliver a crushing blow, he couldn't help but worry about the situation of his friends who went to destroy the stargate.
With the ti drawing near yet there were still no ssages from Julian and the others, Ery decided to turn and go to catch up with them.
Seeing that he was about to leave, Kasin scread despite the excruciating pain in his body.
"Don't you fucking run from again!!"
Unfortunately for the magus, Ery ignored the dark elf magus completely.
Just as he was about to dash away however, Ery sensed a powerful figure coming right at him. His face changed drastically and he swiftly moved away, just in ti to dodge sharp looking crescent-shaped energies that almost cut his body.
Turning his head, he saw that the path where he had to go through was blocked by soone.
A man with dark tattoos on his body was hovering in the air, staring nacingly.
It was the dark elf magus who possessed the darkness affinity.
"My Lord told you to stay. Hence, you shall stay here."
Ery inwardly turned anxious at this unexpected developnt. It was not because of the other party's power, but because if the man was here it ant that the two magus had already been defeated.
As if reading his mind, the magus said, "If you are wondering about the fate of those two trashes, don't be. They are no longer anyone's concern now."
It seed that the worst possible outco had indeed happened, as Ery quickly realized that he could no longer sense both Magus Wildon and Rodrick's presence. With that, their predicant beca even more dire.
As for the other magus, all didn't seem to go well either, it's only a matter of ti before the others were to fall also.
"Dammit!!" Ery cant help to cursed
With the newly-arrived darkness magus blocking his way, Magus Kasin had the opportunity to get onto his feet and caught up to Ery. The table had been turned, as it was now a two against one situation.
In an instant, Ery's brain went into overdrive as he tried to think of a way to resolve this situation. However, his calculation in order to survive the impending fight had to wait as suddenly a powerful tremor shook the entire facility. He could feel the ergence of a concentrated amount of energy from a certain direction.
This disturbance could only an one thing – the stargate was activated.
"No! This is too soon!"
Beyond Ery's confusion cos Laughter that exploded in the air.
"Hahahaha! You failed, human!" shouted Magus Kasin in a mocking tone.
Ery silently heaved a sigh of dejection. Of course, he should've expected that the estimated ti given by the Nexus wouldn't be completely accurate. Having an error margin of 5 minutes should be more than fair in such a situation.
Knowing that the stargate had activated once again and nothing he currently could do to stop it, the first thing Ery did was to check the situation of his friends with his spirit reading, and fortunately, it seed that everyone was still fine.
A second after the tremor, a huge glowing rune, one mile wide was ford in the sky above him, and before long, a massive construct erged from it – an elven warship. Although the size was similar to the one Ery had seen, it was definitely a different model.
What shocked him the most however was the more than ten signatures of magus-level individuals he had sensed within it. One of them even emanated a power that he couldn't begin to comprehend. It was clear that that particular figure was a Grand Magus.
Ery clenched his fists in exasperation. He couldn't believe that they had failed.
The ship's imposing arrival quickly stopped all the fighting – the foot soldiers and magus alike.
The proud leader Magus Garnet surprisingly took this chance to take off, escaping in flas towards the Wasteland, leaving Stildar and Aruka behind, who were both unable to comprehend what they should do now.
,m "We have failed!"
****
Underground, just a mile away, beneath two different layers of sedints, within the facility, the sa feeling of hopelessness Ery felt was shared by the three friends. The expressions on their faces caused the magus that was attacking them to co out of the shadows and reveal themselves.
"Hahaha, in despair aren't you? There's nothing you can do now that our main fleet is finally here!"
The three of them ignored the magus' provocative words as they were too engrossed with the feelings currently overwhelming them. They are saddened, knowing that the trust placed in them cannot be reciprocated.
"Should we run?" Chumo asked, as he knew that the warships that ca were bringing more magus level figures with them – a force that they simply had no ability to deal with.
Monts later, the facility shook once more and the stargate powered up once again, aning the second ship was about to ca through the portal.
Realizing that the stargate was able to teleport out five eleven cruisers before, Julian gritted his teeth while saying, "No! Not yet! At least we can stop the arrival of the next Cruiser! Let's do it while we still have a chance!"
Those words quickly lifted their spirit, and imdiately Klea started channeling her spell once again. The zeal of the three, of course, received scorn from the one other figure present.
"You think I will just let you do that?! In your dreams!"
Saying those words, the magus gradually faded into the shadow before eventually his presence went completely undetected again. The two besides Klea tensed as they knew well what was about to co.
Heaving a sigh, Julian suddenly took out an item, a small golden pearl and swiftly consud.
Before anyone can ask what it was, Julian said "Chumo, track down that man's location!"
Chumo imdiately did as asked. With his [Eye of Raven], he could see what others normally couldn't see and thus he was able to quickly pinpoint the shadow magus' location, albeit roughly.
"He's coming!"
The mont he pinpointed the location, Chumo turned his head as he realized that sothing was happening to his Roman friend. His eyes were shrouded by a bright light as a powerful surge of power exploded from Julian's body – one that gave off a majestic aura.
Instead of defending against the magus' attack, this ti Julian took a step forward and headed straight for the other party.
BAAAAAMMMMMMM!!!
One shield smash took a heavy hit to the magus.
