Capítulo 86: Chapter 53&54
Chapter 53: Fierce Battle
Looking around, there were herds of beasts everywhere.
On the yellow sand, countless fifth beasts of the rock-eating and eighth beasts of the hammer woke up from their slumber and hunted the orcs who disturbed their rest. In the sky, the eggs of the sixth beast of the deep-diving floated, either rooted on the ground or on the airships that were about to take off. Many scavenger orcs who were still in the ruins could no longer escape and became food for the beasts.
The orcs who still survived were gradually caught up by the beasts in this sudden beast tide and lost their lives in despair. This was even the best outcome.
The five golden fairies tried their best to escort the orcs who were approaching the Plantain to a safe area, and to eliminate the beasts that were chasing them.
In the distance, in an area that was almost filled with beasts, Yatogami Tohka was swinging her sword continuously.
It was like the only unbreakable barrier in the flood, no threat could get close. Every swing of the sword could take the life of at least one beast.
Every time she released her sword energy, she could kill a wave of beasts like cutting wheat. In just three minutes, the number of beasts that died in her hands exceeded one hundred. "Fortunately, not every beast is like the sixth beast, which needs to be killed hundreds of times before it can be truly killed." Looking at the pieces of meat on the ground and the blood that flowed freely and dyed the yellow sand into various colors, Yatogami Tohka thought thankfully. But even if not all the beasts that crawled onto the ground were the sixth beasts, there were still a lot of them.
This time, without the orc warriors to assist her, the pressure was even greater than the battle to defend the 15th floating Island. Beasts were attacking her from all directions.
Although due to the excellent performance of the Divine Power Spirit Armor, most attacks had no effect on her and failed to cause any substantial damage, it undoubtedly slowed
down her attack speed.
"Get out of my way!"
Almost buried by the beast tide, Yatogami Tohka roared and thrust Sandalphon fiercely into the ground. The powerful spiritual power fluctuations exploded instantly, and the sword energy penetrated the ground, blocking all the beasts that kept crawling out in the underground passage, and they turned into ashes before they saw the sun.
The underground tunnel also collapsed.
As if the ground was sinking, the beasts around Yatogami Tohka were sucked in, trapped in quicksand-like terrain, unable to save themselves.
Before falling into the pit like the other beasts, Yatogami Tohka touched the ground with her toes and flew up. Looking at the various beasts trapped under her feet, she poured her spiritual power into the Sandalphon without mercy. A sharp sword energy slashed out, and all the beasts in the pit were killed in one fell swoop.
But that's not enough.
Compared to the thousands of beasts, the dozens of beasts killed by this attack had no impact at all. Yatogami Tohka looked in the direction of the Plantain .
Most of the orc warriors have strong physical fitness, and those who can join the army are the best among the orcs. Even if they can't fight the beasts, they can retreat very quickly.
In less than five minutes, all the orcs who had not survived entered the Plantain . Although the living people had been evacuated, the Plantain did not start the engine.
The five golden fairies flapped their fairy wings and waved their holy swords to fight with the beasts that approached them. But even so, they still couldn't kill all the beasts that approached the machine.
Some of the fish that slipped through the net even destroyed the outer wall of the airship and invaded the interior. Although she wanted to help them, the beasts on her side were piled up like a mountain, and there was no chance to return to defend. If she chose to go back now, then the beasts she was holding back would rush to the Plantain . At that time, the situation would only get worse.
"We must think of a way to delay time..."
Looking at the beast trapped in the pit, Yatogami Tohka mind raced, and an idea came to her mind. After a moment's hesitation, she gritted her teeth and finally decided to use this plan.
With this thought, she gave up her interception point and rushed to the entrance of the ruins. Although she lost her interception, the beasts she entangled would rush to the Plantain , which would double the pressure on the golden Fairys. But in order to hold these damn beasts once and for all, she had to fight.
Rushing into the entrance of the underground ruins, killing all the beasts blocking the way, Yatogami Tohka went upstream and entered the belly of the ruins. Two minutes later, without Yatogami Tohka bravery in the front, the golden fairies in the back gradually felt exhausted. "Hey, where is Tohka?" Ithea couldn't help but look at the place where Yatogami Tohka should be, but she couldn't find her. "Could it be that she has..." Noph voice was a little trembling.
"Impossible, Tohka is stronger than any of us. It's impossible for her to lose to Beast in such a short time." Nephren tone left no doubt, "She must have thought of a more effective way to delay Beast's attack."
"We can only trust Tohka now." Chtholly panted, "Tohka must also believe that we can protect Plantain. Before she comes back, we must protect it!"
"Easy to say!"
Ithea dodged the attack of the sixth beast and cooperated with Noph to take away its last life. Rhantolk and Nephren stood back to back, struggling to support in the place with the highest density of beasts. Chtholly cleared out the fish that had escaped the invasion of Plantain , flying quickly close to the airship, saving the lives of the orcs one by one. At this moment, the five of them did not hold back, and cooperated with the abilities of their holy swords to isolate the beast tide outside the Plantain with the highest efficiency. "Is the engine not repaired yet?!"
Coming to the engine room whose wall was broken by the Sixth Beast, Chtholly asked anxiously while beheading the beasts rushing towards them: "There are too many beasts. We can't hold on any longer!"
"Then open the Fairy Court!"
In the engine room, a short, purple-skinned first-class military officer from the Purple Ghost tribe was repairing the damaged magic engine with other engineers. He gave the order without hesitation: "There are at least 120 crew members on this ship. We cannot let all of them die here! You must hold on!"
At this moment, there was a sound like an earthquake from underground.
Chtholly was hesitating whether to open the Fairy Garden, but suddenly noticed the changes underground. Her eyes sparkled with joy.
If she guessed correctly, this noise should be caused by Tohka.
Although I don't know what happened, as long as there is movement, it means that Tohka succeeded. Feeling the shaking ground, the beasts rushing towards the Plantain also slowed down. They are ignorant beasts who live only by instinct.
And now, there was a tremor in the ground. The next moment, their bloodthirsty instinct was replaced by the instinct of survival. Escape!
Chapter 54: Crisis Resolved
The opposite happened.
On the shaking ground, the animals that were about to flee instinctively were still a step too late. Before they could react, the ground beneath their feet collapsed.
The terrain should have been gradually solidified through a hundred years of sedimentation, but at this moment it was as if someone had cut off every stone pillar supporting the ground, causing the terrain to collapse.
The ground covered with yellow sand suddenly sank, taking with it the supplies that had not yet been taken away, the corpses of beasts and beastmen, and any living beasts standing on it.
Whether it was the fifth beast, the eighth beast, or the sixth beast rooted in the ground, they all fell into the bottomless pit under this large-scale Landslide.
Fully 60% of the beasts fell into it.
Many animals suffocated to death after falling into the yellow sand, and some were killed by falling rocks and broken rocks. Even if more animals were not in danger of death, they were trapped in
it and could no longer harass the Plantain and the golden Fairys.
The pressure on Chtholly and her group suddenly eased.
Thanks to the collapse of the ground, the number of beasts around was significantly reduced. Most importantly, because there was no way to go, except for the sixth beast that could float, other beasts could not even get through. With such an advantage, the golden Fairys quickly cleared a safe area and wiped out the remaining beasts around the Plantain. The crisis was finally resolved.
The golden fairies finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Especially Chtholly, who was almost ready to open the Fairy Court just now and sacrifice hersSpirit to save the others. If Yatogami Tohka had acted half a minute later, Chtholly personality would have been initially eroded. When she thought of such an ending, she couldn't help but feel a chill down her spine.
"Fixed! The engine is fixed!"
Another two minutes passed. In the engine room, seeing that the magic engine was finally functioning normally, the first-class military officer of the Purple Ghost CRhanshouted into the
communication device: "Start the Plantain immediately! Get rid of those Seventeen Beasts!"
In the control room, the first and second mates, having received orders from their superiors, pressed the operating buttons with ease, operating the airship many times faster than usual.
As they operated, the magic engine gradually lit up with a dazzling blue light, providing power for the entire airship. Multiple instruments on the dashboard lit up, and every part of the ship worked in an orderly manner.
Although some parts of the aircraft showed abnormalities due to damage, fortunately it was still able to fly normally. The
Plantain slowly ascended.
Seeing this, the surviving orcs finally put down their worries. The purple ghost first-class military officer in the engine room sat on the ground, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and looked exhausted. After getting rid of the fear of death, he couldn't help cursing those damn scavenger team orcs in his heart. If they hadn't made a noise underground, how could so many sleeping beasts wake up at once? This is good.
There were many people, the ship was gone, and the equipment used to mine the ruins could not be recovered. Even if he could return to the Floating Continent Island safely, he would definitely have to accept punishment from the Guardian Wing Army Headquarters, and he might even be demoted. His heart was bleeding.
"Speed up, speed up as much as possible, and return to the Floating Continent Island immediately!" Purple Ghost said to the communication device with a gloomy face, "The
Sixth Beast behind us is still chasing us, don't let those beasts take root on our ship!"
"Please wait a moment, Tohka hasn't come back yet!"
Seeing the Purple Ghost ordering Plantain to return, Chtholly hurriedly stopped him: "One of my companions is at the front to stop the beast's attack. The earthquake just now was caused by her. She is still underground and has not returned yet."
"Underground? Then there's no need to wait, he must be dead." The purple ghost waved his hand impatiently, "Even if he wasn't killed by the beast, he must have died in the pile of rocks. I don't have time to waste here."
"Please at least let us search for it."
"I order you to stay on the ship and not go anywhere!" The purple ghost glared at her fiercely, "The Sixth Beast may continue to invade. You
golden fairies must protect the crew. This is your only job as a weapon!"
"But..."
"No buts, this is a military order!"
Chtholly clenched her fists.
But she didn't have the power to make decisions, and she knew she couldn't convince the commander, so she said nothing and walked out of the engine room. When she came to the deck, she saw that the other companions had gathered here.
Nephren, Ithea, Noph, and Rhantolk. Fortunately, all four were safe.
However, even if their lives were not in danger, their condition was not good. The beast tide just now was too fierce, and because too much magic power was released in a short period of time, they were in urgent need of rest. Even though they were already wounded and exhausted, they did not return to the room to rest.
"The captain of this ship is not going to wait for Tohka," Chtholly said in a dry voice.
"Then we will go and rescue them ourselves," Ithea said without hesitation.
"I can still fight. We can't leave our benefactor there." Noph tore off her clothes to bandage her wounds, but her voice was firm. "I really want to agree, but the current situation doesn't allow us to go on." Rhantolk, who was supporting Nephren, said calmly. "No, we must go to save Tohka." Nephren said weakly, "If it weren't for her, maybe we wouldn't be able to leave today." "You can't leave now." Rhantolk said reproachfully, "Drag your body like this, going down is just to die." "But we must go."
Nephren let go of Rhantolk arm, held the holy sword, and forced hersSpirit to stand upright. However, anyone with a discerning eye could see that she was already exhausted at this moment. As the weakest golden fairy, she had already shown amazing perseverance to hold out for so long in the beast tide when others could only hold out with difficulty. "Then let's make a compromise. I will threaten the captain of this ship. I don't believe he won't listen to us." Ithea bit her lip, "Just give us half an hour to rest, and we can set out again to look for Tohka."
"I agree." Noph rubbed his hands and said, "I've been annoyed with that purple-skinned kid for a long time. If he doesn't listen to us, beat him up." "Do you know how serious a crime it is to threaten your superiors?" Rhantolke held his forehead with his hand, "But... this is indeed the best plan. Count me in Bar."
"boom----!"
Just as everyone decided to put their swords on the neck of the Purple Ghost Clan first-class military officer and ask him to stop the Plantain , an explosion sounded. A purple figure emerged from the huge pit on the ground.
Although she looked a little dusty, everyone who was attracted to her could tell her identity at a glance. "Tohka! We are here!"
Chtholly eyes lit up, and she waved her hands and shouted.
"Come here quickly, the airship will be speeding up soon!"
