Battle of Kalren City(2)

"Arrows! Fire!"

With the command from Count Liam, thousands of arrows, both normal and magical enhanced, were shot towards the monsters.

The arrows flew towards the monster wave, piercing thousands of monsters and killing hundreds of them instantly. Some other monsters were injured and then killed by the monsters behind that stepped over them

But these monsters were just a drop in the ocean. Almost instantly, they were replaced by more and more monsters.

Then-

*Booommmm!!!*

The monsters clashed against the wall.

The wall shook, and the city trembled. It was as though an earthquake had occurred. The impact of thousands of monsters crashing against the city wall simultaneously was shocking.

Fortunately, the city walls of Kalren City were tough enough. Even the doors were made of an alloy of Orichulcum, an enchanted metal that was stronger than mithril.

It remained firm even when many monsters tried to knock it down, but Count Liam knew that it was only a matter of time before things changed.

"Mages, fire your spells! Warriors, get ready to fight the monsters that climb the wall!"

"""OORAH!"""

Almost at the same time as Count Liam finished speaking, some of the monsters jumped on the city walls. Monkeys, ferrets, rats, and lizard monsters climbed the city walls and attacked the warriors defending it.

At the same time, the monsters, unable to climb the walls, continued attacking it trying to find a weak spot to destroy the walls and enter the city.

Lord Liam unsheathed his huge sword and slashed towards the monsters. He fought bravely in front of all the warriors, increasing the morale of the defenders. 

However, inwardly he was worried.

He could see that the demigod was entangled in a battle with a powerful enemy. In other words, there was no hope of the demigod assisting them soon.

Even worse, he could feel a few powerful presences hiding in the monster wave. Such presences belonged to the top monsters attacking the city. A-rank monsters.

In the short time since the attack started, Count Liam had detected not less than seven A-rank presences. Fortunately, these monsters had not attacked yet, or the city lord would be panicking now.

The defense line remained firm. Even with some monsters climbing the city walls and killing some defenders, the defenders managed to deal with them. Sometimes, there would appear holes in the defenses, but they would be quickly filled by other warriors.

However, the number of casualties was large. At least five hundred casualties had occurred in the first ten minutes of battle. And that was without counting the casualties caused by the monsters that bypassed the city walls and attacked the civilians.

'Damn it!' Liam cursed in his mind. This was almost the worst situation possible. 

And soon, the situation worsened even more.

Suddenly, a giant bear-like monster roared.

*ROOOOOOOAAAAAARRRRR!!!*

The white bear's roar silenced the monsters. The monsters opened a path for the bear to pass!

The bear was almost the size of the Statue of Liberty, with white fur and armor-like skin covering its back. It emitted strong mana waves, showing its strength as an A-rank monster!

Or precisely, an <A> Rank monster (Lv.91). Just a sub-rank stronger than the City Lord himself.

[IMAGES]

The bear growled and walked forward. When it was just one thousand meters from the city, it looked at the people on the walls before looking at the door.

Patting the ground twice, the Bear leaned down and narrowed its eyes.

The next second, it kicked the ground strongly and shot himself towards the city doors!

"Damn it! Valma!" Count Liam's expression turned ugly. He hurriedly called out to the A-rank woman mage.

"On it!" The woman nodded. Three magic circles formed behind her, and then, a burning giant ball of fire, Lightning shaped like an Eastern Dragon, and a large black ball of negative energy appeared.

[Maximize Magic]

[6th Tier Magic: Shadow Ball]

[7th Tier Magic: Chain Thunder Dragon]

[8th Tier Magic: Nuclear Cannon]

These three spells were one of her strongest. And what made it more astonished was that she could cast more than one spell at the same time, which only geniuses among geniuses are able to do.

"Released!" With the woman's words, the three powerful spells flew towards the monster!

"ROARRR!" The bear's eyes were red. It did not show any signs of stopping even when the three magic attacks were flying towards it.

And then, the three spells that the Mage casted began to fused, turning into one powerful spell, with Maximize Magic boosting the three, it becomes a powerful attack with so much devastation power equivalent to a 9th Tier Spell.

*BOOOMMM!!!*

With a terrifying explosion, the magic attacks engulf the monster. Super high temperatures consumed everything in the flames' path, lightning tendrils with millions jolts of electricity and negative energy burst all over the area, killing many of the monsters within hundreds of meters in the surroundings, even creating a huge mushroom cloud that reached a kilometer in the air.

Such power could turn a huge part of a city district into ruins.

But soon-

*ROOOOOAAAAARRRR!!!*

With a powerful roar, the monster charged out of the magic energy.

Its fur had turned black, and a small part of its skin was charred. But besides that, the monster seemed completely uninjured.

"Impossible! Its skin has anti-magic properties!" The Legendary Realm Mage panicked. A monster like this was practically her bane.

And currently, it was about to reach the door!

"Dammit, dammit!" Count Liam cursed loudly. He did not plan to bet if the door was capable of enduring the attack or not. Helpless, he could only jump out of the city walls towards the bear!

"Valma, support me!"

"I know!"

But at that moment, the Count felt another A-rank presence advancing towards the city.

And another.

And another.

The people that understood what this meant paled. Many of them fell into despair seeing this situation.

But the Count knew he could not hesitate. He could only trust that the other Legendary Realm experts took care of the situation.

For an instant, he felt lucky that none of his children were in the walls right now.

———

At the same time, in another part of the city.

A bloody smell filled the house. Beheaded and crushed bodies lay killed on the ground.

A group of shadows was standing beside the bodies. Currently, they have ugly expressions.

"The target is not here."

"How is it possible? Was our information mistaken?" Another shadow asked.

"No. The guards were here. If I'm not wrong, the target left for some reason."

"Dammit. What are we going to say to our master then?"

One of the shadows frowned, "We must find the target quickly. If the target is killed by a monster, the Boss will be very pissed."

The other shadows paled. They were aware of how terrifying their Boss was when he was angry, and none of them wanted to see it.

"""Understood!!"""

With resolute words, the shadows disappeared from the house.

If Basically or the others would have been here, they would have noticed that one of the shadows lacked an arm.
