Chapter 298 The Great War (8): Aella's Butchering
"Phew, that was close…", Argant said as he stared at Shin.
He thought that he did a pretty good job in saving Shin, and expected praise, however, in contrast to that, Shin said, "What the heck are you doing?"
"Eh?", Argant was surprised.
"Your task was to keep Devis busy. Why are you here?"
"Now what if he attacks me suddenly?", Shin asked, looking below only to find Devis opening his mouth wide as if aiming an attack at them.
"Look, he is even ready to attack.", Shin said.
"Sorry master…", Argant said as his ears lowered, seconds after which a dark sphere appeared in front of Devis' mouth.
It did seem like a normal Dark Blast in which, a black-colored sphere of dark attribute would appear and then blast away to hit the opponent or target.
However, the black sphere that was formed this time, had a little purplish tint with some sparkles all around it. These sparkles seemed somewhat like an electric current.
'Lightning…?', just when Shin had realized that Devis launched his attack.
Shin and Argant were pretty high in the sky. The distance between them and Devis was a bit vast too, so it should have taken a few seconds for the attack to reach them, right?
However, in contrast to that, the sphere traveled way faster, and appeared right in front of them in just a mere second!
It was almost as if the sphere teleported.
Both Shin and Argant were quick to act. They wasted no time saving themselves.
While Shin wanted to save himself from the attack, Argant wanted to protect Shin.
Regardless, both of them used a skill, which ended up having double the normal effect!
*Ding*
[You have used the skill Dragon's Roar ]
And exactly at that movement, Argant too used a similar skill - Shadow Dragon's Roar.
*ROAR*
Both of them roared at the same time, causing sound waves to travel all the way in the air, making the wind move with it and ultimately resulting in a sonic wave.
The mere Dark Lightning Sphere that Devis had used ended up moving downwards as it couldn't fight against the sound waves and ended up falling down, on the ground and almost destroying the entire Arena.
When the massive sphere fell on the ground, all the stronger beings just cast their Aura Domain to form a barrier around themselves.
As for others, they sought protection from the aura domain of their masters.
Aella and other members of the Lou Shin clan were protected by Blanca and the residents of the swamps.
The total number of death due to Dark Lightning Sphere: 18 [15 from Fang Clan, 3 from Lou Shin Clan.]
Yes, three did die from the Lou Shin clan, three low-level swamp residents.
In any case, everyone present there was utterly surprised.
Both the high-level beings just unleashed Dragon's Roar.
It made sense that Argant did it, but Shin too? This was just too surprising for everyone.
"Didn't I tell you!? He is a dragon too!", Aaron raised his voice yet again, only to shut his mouth after seeing Devis glare back at him.
In any case, the entire arena was quiet because of the previous loud roar.
As for the Celestials, the expression on their faces was noteworthy!
Regardless, after seeing Shin's roar and the same of Argant, many other clans that held grudge against the Fang Clan, gained unparallel confidence.
They now believed that Shin would win no matter what happened.
Hence, all the beasts who held grudges against the fang clan also joined the battle. Out of them, one was an important and noteworthy figure - Don Wukong.
Since Don Wukong cherished his clanmates more than his life, the grudge that he held was too deep since his clanmates were killed.
Although he was quite injured earlier, after going to the healing center, he was completely fine now.
Even if his strength had not returned completely, he was strong!
The people started to raise their voices and cheer. It was as if a sudden earthquake had occurred.
Taking advantage of the commotion of many beasts entering the arena, the wind wolf general attacked Deoras using [Wind cutter] but Deoras dodged the attack easily by using his skill [Shadow Travel].
Deoras attacked the general by using [Shadow Sphere] which was countered by [Razer wind].
Raka and Terran were together fighting flame wolves whereas Aella continued to fight a wolf with dark attributes.
[Dark Crunch]
One of the dark wolves attacked Aella from behind, almost biting her neck off.
Aella was surprised by the sudden attack. She thought that she would lose her life when all of a sudden, the dark wolf that had jumped towards her, went flying the other way.
It ended up crashing on the walls, forming cracks all around it.
Aella turned around only to find Siara standing beside her.
"Whose daughter do you think you are aiming at?", she said as she howled.
Aella's eyes were filled with tears when she heard this and saw her mother standing right beside her.
"M-"
But before she could call out to her, another Dark Wolf attacked. Although the attack missed both of them, a lot of dust was raised in between them.
It was as if a wall of dust was formed, separating them yet again.
*Grrr*
The tears in her eyes vanished. She turned to her left only to find a wind wolf that had attacked a second ago, causing the rising of the specks of dust.
"How dare you!?"
She raised her voice, seconds after which, she attacked the wolf with the same skill consecutively.
[Wind Slash] x 10
She unleashed multiple wind slashes in anger, wanting to completely eradicate the opponent.
For a second, she closed her eyes as a little bit of dust went inside. Little did she know that she would be shocked after opening her eyes.
The wind wolf, that had unleashed its attack earlier, was now lying in pieces. Not one nor two, but tens or hundreds of pieces.
It was completely butchered with her attacks.
Blood had been splattered everywhere and the audience and other wolves, who were shouting, cheering, and attacking each other, suddenly became quiet yet again.
'Looks like I overdid it…'
"…"
