MERCIA
39. The Battle Against Gorran.

Gorran and his army had already entered the city of Buckland.The Lumeria government was completely helpless.

"Hedya where's your mother and Carrol?" ask August.

"we're here" said Carrol who had just exited the portal behind August.

"What's our plan now?" ask Ray.

Everyone glanced at August.

"We have to finish off that army first before we face Gorran."

"Carrol, James and Lizzie attack them from the left, Hedya, Valery and Ray from the right, me, Clara and Lady Lyra remain here as their targets" August said.

"Good"

"Clara, what are your abilities other than mind reading?" ask August.

"Teleportation and create illusions."

"As for my friend, can you cure him?"

"I can erase the bad memories that happened to him"

"do you have a battle suit?" Lyra asked August.

"I don't have it, but I have it!" August shows his left arm which is suddenly wrapped in light and then appears a triangular shield.

Lyra was stunned. "shield of light?"

"I accidentally found it in the blue Royan lake, the blue color of the lake turned out to be the aura of this shield" August said.

Lyra recalls the Oracle's words, about three symbols that were seen before the crystal power entered August's body.

"i also found out the answer to why your previous strength was reduced."

"what's the cause"

"something that is not of this world, this shield is one of them"

"one of them? did you find any others?"

"i found a key to open the portal."

"you can go to proxima with that key?"

"No. The portal can only take me to a place I've been to before."

"No! you're wrong" said Clara.

"you can go anywhere if you know the details of the place you're going to, opening a portal is just a basic technique of teleportation, I can do it just by looking at a picture or a person's memory. it just takes a lot of energy" he added.

"do you want to teach me?" pinta August's.

"sure." replied Clara with a smile.

"they came" Lyra saw the convoy of troops.

Gorran and his army had surrounded the town of Buckland.

"Hahaha, it turns out you're here too Lyra." Gorran looked at Lyra and the others.

"Today I will kill you" said Lyra.

"You're too confident, for thirty years I've built my empire here, after finishing you off I'll take that boy's power, conquer this world and return to proxima to avenge me."

"Old man.You want to fight or fill a motivation class, I'm sleepy to hear it." August deliberately provokes Gorran's anger.

"You..! I'll make sure you regret being born into this world" said Gorran, who began to ignite his emotions.

"Hey, old man, you better retire, go back to your village and grow vegetables" said August, who continues to provoke Lord Gorran.

"Do you have to make him angry" said Hedya speaking through a communication device attached to his ear.

"Huh..!"

Gorran is getting more and more wrathful at August's humiliation. "Stop them all" orders his troops.

"Clara you don't stay away from us" August said.

Gorran's troops began firing towards August, Lyra spread both hands to the side formed a protective dome that does not penetrate their weapons. Gorran and his army did not know of Hedya and the others, so he focused only on August and Lyra.

"Clara read my mind, Carrol get ready" August said.

Clara nodded, her eyes closed, her hands aligned with her waist.A thick fog began to cover the area of the battle.The sky began to fill with cloud, rain fell, and rain fell, not water but ice that formed like the eyes of a pointed arrow rained down on the red troops, while those trapped in the fog experienced hallucinations.. they saw many monsters and beasts eating their comrades and running to attack him, they shot blindly in all directions, as a result of which they exchanged fire. blood began to pool.

Gorran was furious, less than five minutes after which nearly a hundred of his men were killed and dozens more wounded.

"Fuck you. There's someone else here! there are hybrids there" Gorran said pointing to the direction of the building where Carrol and others were hiding.

Lizzie saw dozens of people heading to the place where the three of them. he took something from his pocket. some seeds of plants. he grasped it. visible light between his fingers. he then threw to the ground through the window.the seeds of plants that fell to the ground immediately turned into vines full of thorns that grew bigger and bigger. whereas those who escaped from the plant had to die at James' hands, with his samurai sword, he was able to move at extreme speed.

Gorran just looked at the place where August and Lyra were. he took out a black ball of light from his palm and threw it towards the protective dome made by Lyra. break the glass of the buildings that are still left around the area.

Blukarr....!

The dome vanished, also with an illusionary fog.Now his troops are crashing into the building with a rush to the roof of the building where August is, Lyra and Clara hold those who go up to the roof of the building, and the, august holds off the hybrids who try to jump onto the roof of the building

Gorran looked at the other side, the thorny plant made things difficult for his troops, he stomped his feet to the ground once, the energy coming out of his feet went into the ground moved to destroy the tree's roots, the thorny tree fell down. James is overwhelmed by all of them, Carrol and Lizzie decide to help James.

August and the others were completely troubled, overcoming an endless army.the blackened sky again rang out a rumbling sound, roaring, suddenly appeared a large golden-yellow tornado as high as a five-story building around the tornado there were three balls that issued a flash of electricity sweeping the Gorran troops. Hedya, Valery and Ray had united their forces.The tornado had only appeared for five minutes but two-thirds of Gorran's army had been decommissioned, leaving less than two hundred men.

August, Carrol and Lyra did not waste this opportunity, they attacked and killed all that was left. Now the three of them and Gorran faced each other.

"Old man.. Last chance, go home or go back to hell?" August scoffed.

"i'd rather send him to hell!" said Lyra.

A furious Gorran attacks August quickly. August only dodged, not fending off any punches or kicks from Gorran.

"Why is he just avoiding?" ask Carrol to Lyra.

"He seems to have a plan, just observe it before you act" Lyra said.

Gorran was very upset with the punch and his kick only hit empty space.

"Hey brat, your abilities are only limited to insulting..."

Gorran's words came to a halt when August very quickly stomped his palm towards Gorran giving off a golden beam hitting his chest.

wusssh..

Gorran bounced ten meters back, he reflexively responded by emitting a black beam from his hand towards August.This time August did not dodge he deflected the beam with a shield in his left hand. the black rays hitting the shield were bouncing back faster and bigger. Gorran was surprised to see it, he did not have time to dodge the light hit himself.

Duarrr.

The explosion was bigger than before making him bounce back fifteen meters.His body emitted black smoke from his mouth and nose out black blood. Gorran stood up while holding his claustrophobic chest.

"How can you have that shield of light?" ask Gorran wonder.

"i bought it in the COD marketplace, with a thousand dollars given to you" August replied indifferently.

"Fuck" Gorran closed his eyes for a moment, he let out his core of strength, the ground he poked into a basin like not strong enough to hold his weight, the reddish-brown soil around him slowly turned black.

"August don't let you be touched by it" said Lyra.

August is on alert. Hedya and the others looked at the fight tensely.

'Clara can you hear me?' August spoke in his mind.

'i hear you' said Clara.he was suddenly shocked.

'you can do it?' ask August.

'give me time' Clara said.
