Bab 573: Chapter 573 Blood vs Lightning

After hours of battle, the roars of brave men charging towards the beast began to be replaced by the terrifying screams of desperate soldiers trying to flee.

"We cannot defeat that thing! It's too powerful!"

"Run! Run for your life!"

The captain noticed the desperation of his soldiers, and despite him screaming at the top of his lungs, telling them to stand their ground and fight, none of them heeded his words. He felt like he had lost his authority over his own men. Authority was everything for him, so losing it felt like he lost the very thing that made him proud of himself.

"I cannot let this be! If you cowards refuse to fight, then I will fight that beast on my own! Hyaa!!!" The captain leaped high into the air and grasped the sky. Dark clouds began to gather, filling the once bright and clear sky with darkness. Thunder struck into the captain's hand, flashing with an extremely powerful light that blinded the eyes.
