108. The Battle of Hroud III
It had been nearly an hour since fighting erupted at the entrance of the city of Horoud, the casualties from both sides piling up much higher than before. Hundreds of lifeless bodies lying here and there filled the scene.
Although it sounded like it was taking a lot of casualties, this battle was still far from over.
The hundreds mostly came from Ash's army. Indeed, the number of them so much to make the eyes hurt, in fact the ability of each individual can not match the strength of the Snow Troll and Yeti fighters who fight all their souls.
If you have to calculate the average Snow Troll and Yeti were able to finish off about 10 to 20 Ash troops before losing because they received so many injuries. Given their large bodies that did not have a large Dex status, it could be said to be natural.
Horb himself had killed more than a hundred people, but there was no sign of exhaustion or serious injury. All of that is arguably thanks to Mithril Chainmail Robe who almost protected his entire body from any enemy attack, while the stamina is greater than the average Snow Troll which incidentally has stamina beyond human common sense.
On the side of Reus and Ikshan, they were already overwhelmed fighting against so many enemies at once, even in a duration of almost an hour. If only the two had not prepared the Vigor Potion before, they might have already fallen down from exhaustion.
After a long time of fighting, the two began to reach the limit and met on the battlefield while turning their backs on each other. Their breath is already in chaos. If only they did not try to save on the use of Vigor Potion, maybe the situation of the two would be much different from now.
"Reus, how many of your Vigor Potions are left?"
"Perhaps about five or six bottles, mostly level one Potions. You you?"
"Only about three or four bottles, all of them may be level one."
The two clicked their tongues simultaneously realizing how terrifying their stamina consumption levels were for nearly an hour.
Previously they had prepared ten bottles of Vigor Potion each with several Vigor Potion II hoping that the amount was enough to reach their travel destination, Lavore Kingdom or Gavore Kingdom. Honey, they didn't expect any major battles on the way.
Finding themselves besieged from all sides, Reus took action first after having Ikshan duck. He lifted Blackstar and swung it while rotating on his foot axis.
"Fire's Circlet!"
Bwush!
That 360-degree fire slash repelled all the opponents in the surroundings quite far. Not quite getting there yet, Reus thrust his sword into the ground and took out another Magic Skill from Blackstar.
"Earth Spine!"
Instantly, a number of pointed rocks from the ground took out all the enemies within a ten-meter radius of Reus at its center. No one could get close as long as the pointed rocks were still standing upright.
This opportunity is not wasted by both. They immediately consumed some Potions as much as possible considering that there was not much time that could be stretched these pointy rocks. The monsters had already started destroying it with their weapons.
"Two players were surrounded by over a hundred monsters at a time? Deraft Corporation has no compassion for its players."
Ikshan could only smile bitterly at Reus's grievance while readying his horses. There was nothing he could do but finish off his opponents and help Reus whenever there was a chance for this moment.
Reus himself had repeatedly issued Dragon Aura while simultaneously exerting the ability of the Ring of Ice and Ring of Flame to lower the enemy's fighting spirit, but it turned out that the tactic was not so effective. The number on his Energy bar continues to decline thanks to using various skills.
While paying attention to the sharp rocks that became their temporary stronghold, Reus tried to devise a plan that could finish off many enemies at once like blowing up over a thousand Snow Trolls and Yeti some time ago.
"Reus, did you get a good plan?"
"Sorry, nothing comes to mind."
The time of thinking about the plan was exhausted along with the collapse of the pointy rocks around them. The monsters of Ash's army hit them again in terrible numbers at one time.
Unable to do anything more, Reus began swinging Blackstar again to finish off every life that came to attack him. Ikshan did not want to wait anymore, then released his manager separating several heads from his opponent's body at a time.
After about ten minutes, the body both felt heavy again and the lungs could not take a good breath. It is natural considering the level of fatigue both are not the same level as running around the field as much as 15 rounds at once.
Although it has consumed Vigor Potion that is able to restore stamina, Reus and Ikshan's body has been suspended in such a way that fatigue that accumulates in each muscle cell makes Vigor Potion no longer effective.
The more often tired and used, the effectiveness of Vigor Potion will also decrease. That's the weakness of this potion. It is also only realized some time ago after feeling the stamina of the two of them run out faster than before.
'Despite already using Black Forms and the various Magic Skills stored within Blackstar, all of them had no effect on this terrifying amount, huh.'
While trying to catch his breath, Reus muttered that in his heart. This is just his army, Ash has not yet descended into battle. Seeing his high level, only Horb, Ikshan, and himself were able to hold the figure of The Chaos Messenger—though not long.
"If you really exist please give us a miracle, Lord Horen."
Reus knew that even if he begged as hard as he could, a miracle would not come. This world is just a world filled with programs and algorithms, there can be no miracles or anything like that. At least that's what Reus thought when making an empty plea.
As if the sky had its own joke, Reus was struck by a semi-transparent white panel that suddenly appeared before him after he finished the victim to so many hundred with Blackstar.
---
Blackstar reached level 50!
The requirements of opening the Black Predator were successfully met!
Black Predator is now available!
---
Reus' eyeballs almost popped out and jumped on the ground as soon as he saw the contents of the panel, if now was not a busy time for him. There was no way he was not surprised to see this explanation.
Who would have thought that there was another hidden skill inside this ugly, dull pitch-black sword?
