"The entire town is overrun..." Sword Hero Morningster voiced with a frown as he noticed more of the creatures.
"Get the town folks to safety... I'll create a path forward and make my way to the boss," Sword Hero Morningster yelled before charging forward.
Fwwwhiiisshhh~
With a single movement, he crossed a distance of nearly two hundred feet, leaving a whooshing sound in his path.
The others quickly followed behind, heading towards the town.
Morningster pulled his sword out of its sheathe and began sending masterful strokes at the beasts in the vicinity.
Slash! Slash!
Powerful red lines swept forward and instantly made contact with one of the creatures chasing down a group of five.
It was immediately sliced into multiple pieces causing blood and chunks of body parts to splatter across the faces of the innocent town folks.
They retched in disgust after getting bathed in blood but were grateful nevertheless.
"It's the sword hero!"
"He has come to save us!"
Morningster didn't stop there. He charged into the heart of the town while swinging his blade nonstop as he activated different sword skills.
<[[ Crimson Nightmare Has Been Activated ]]>
[ ×3 Damage For Thirty Seconds ]
Sounds of flesh being torn rang out as he decapitated large beasts with relative ease, painting the streets of the town red.
Sword Hero Morningster paused upon noticing piles of corpses in multiple areas of the town, torn-down houses, and some burning areas.
"These vile creatures!" This instantly got him incensed as he realized they had gotten there a little too late.
Many of the town folks had been slaughtered already. Only a few were still alive.
Sword Hero Morningster immediately went on a killing spree as his red blade glowed even brighter in accordance with his blistering rage.
Bright, Princess Valerie, and the Devonne twins did their best to get the surviving town folks to safety as they dealt with the beasts still in the vicinity.
After some time they noticed sword Hero Morningster was gone and looked towards the horizon.
A mountainous area could be spotted up ahead with long grassy paths in between. These paths were filled with incoming beasts and the four could tell that Sword Hero Morningster had stormed off in that direction to fight the boss since it was where the gate was located.
They quickly hurried along after dealing with the beasts in the town.
They needed to clear the path to make sure the survivors were not followed while trying to catch up to the Sword Hero.
....
....
....
Bang! Bam! Bam!
"A scorpiosorous army?! As if our day couldn't get any worse!" Bright lamented.
The loud sound of battles rang out as the four battled an army of dangerous-looking creatures approaching from up ahead.
Skewered corpses littered the place but every single one of them looked like abominable beasts.
The incoming creatures looked like a mixture of scorpion and man Only that they were ten feet in size, charred black with dark green pointy tails.
"This is getting troublesome,"
Ezrel grumbled as he held his large spear up as though it was a Javelin.
"Burning shot!" The spear emitted a blazing glow as he yelled and flung it forward it immense strength.
Thwwwooohhhhh~
The spear shot across the air with intensity, leaving a glowing line in its trail as the wind got pierced almost like it was solid.
The sound of flesh being ripped through rang out as eight scorpiosorous beasts got impaled by the large spear which kept shooting forward, leaving burning holes in their chest.
It impaled two last Scorpiosorous beasts and slammed them into a massive boulder with the spear embedded into their skulls.
"We need to make our way to Sword Hero Morningster!" The Ezrel yelled while Ekiel pulled five arrows from the collection strapped to his back.
The tip of the five arrows emitted a bright yellow light as he placed them on his bowstring and fired at the scorpiosorous army.
Glowing arrows pierced multiple targets and exploded, littering the place with even more blood and corpses.
Bright swirled his fingers while chanting as the surroundings immediately got illuminated with a green glow.
Magic circles appeared across the place and multiple one-eyed giants with massive clubs phased out of the circles.
"Sir Bright behind you!" One of the twins yelled.
Rrriiih~
A scorpiosorous beast had leaped towards him from his blind spot and now the tail was only a few inches away from piercing his back.
"Blessings Of Protection!"
A sharp feminine voice rang out.
Twwhiii~ Bam!
A blueish transparent wall suddenly appeared behind Bright, preventing the venomous tail of the scorpiosorous from stabbing him.
Princess Valerie's red hair fluttered in the wind as a blue glowing book floated before her. She made some hand gestures, causing rocks in the vicinity to float upwards.
Upon sweeping her fingers forward, the rocks shot towards the incoming creatures at very quick speed.
Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!
More than ten of them had their skulls split open while a couple more sustained very heavy damage.
"There are too many of them," Bright yelled as one of his giants flattened another scorpiosorous beast with its club.
It looked like they were prevailing but they very well knew that this wasn't the case.
The number of scorpiosorous in the surroundings had tripled in just a few seconds.
Bright knew that if things were to continue that way, they would eventually run out of mana.
They stared at the massive purple-colored swirling light above a mountain in the northwest direction.
It was the reason for their current situation.
'If they are this many, it means that the boss of the gate must be very powerful. We must make our way to the sword hero immediately or they will keep coming,' Bright thoughts were pretty much similar to the others who stared at each other in understanding.
While they fought to create a path, they had left a member of their party behind. Things had gotten so hectic that they didn't remember Ingal in this horrifying predicament.
The group managed to make their way further up the mountain but the number of the creatures had increased significantly. Princess Valerie already had a few bruises on her cheeks and shoulder.
They were starting to run out of mana and yet they still hadn't made their way to Sword Hero Morningster.
Bang! Boom!
However, the sound of power clashes ringing across the air told them that the peak of the mountain wasn't too far away.
The blasts from a powerful battle ongoing up ahead occasionally sent shockwaves across the air. This confirmed that whoever the Sword Hero was facing was incredibly strong.
If the boss didn't get killed soon, they would get overwhelmed by the number of creatures around and eventually meet their end.
"You two, head forward. We'll try to keep things under control here," Ekiel Devonne said to his brother and the princess.
"Are you crazy brother? I can't leave you and Bright here to handle things on your own," Ezrel Devonne yelled while stabbing his spear into the throat of another beast and lifting them into the air.
Fwwhiii~
He flung it in his brother's direction, who proceeded to duck, causing the beast to slam into another scorpiosorous behind.
Bang!
"Ekiel is right. We will never get out of this if the boss isn't taken down. I don't want to die since I still have so many beautiful women to fuck," Bright shouted while giving a command to one of his giants.
"But..." Before Ezrel could form a sentence, Valerie grabbed him by the arm and charged in the direction of one of the giants.
The giant proceeded to lift them and hurl them forward with great force.
Fwwwhooommm~
Their figures traveled across the air with immense speed, flying over the army of beasts below that had covered the entire vicinity.
The moment Princess Valerie realized that they were losing momentum, her grimoire opened up.
"Blessings Of Nature... Wind Drive!" Her voice rang out loudly despite the calmness of her tone.
Vwwooooo~
A burst of wind pushed them further ahead, allowing them to travel across the air till the massive purple swirling light was only a few feet away.
Ezrel's mouth hung agape as his vision narrowed on an area close to the swirling purple light.
Thrrriihhhh~ Thrrriihhh~
Two figures were in a heated battle. Due to their level of strength and speed, they looked like two streaks of purple and grey lines as they clashed repeatedly.
"Over there!" Ezrel yelled.
