Chapter 1103: Levium (20)
The Chimaeric Demons dove into the fray. Their wings cut through air and bodies alike while they descended upon Levium's soldiers.
One of the clones swooped down on a group of blackguards.
With its talons extended, the clone tore through the first soldier's armor like paper.
The man collapsed, his scream stifled. The clone didn't stop there, as he immediately pivoted to face the next threat.
There were two blackguards. Both of them attacked the clone from a distance.
A blackguard raised her weapon, energy crackling at its tip. The clone was faster. It lashed out with its beak, the metal-like appendage piercing the woman's throat. She gurgled, then went limp.
Levium noticed that and tossed the woman away, making her fall to the ground.
A gust of wind flew at the clone, taking the shape of a blade. The Chimaeric Demon tucked in its wings and rolled, avoiding the deadly wind blades.
As he steadied himself, the other blackguard unleashed an unidentified attack.
The clone's Metal Fur brain crystal power was exerted against it. The fire hit its metal-like feathers without injuring the clone, leaving only a small black spot.
The Chimaeric Demon targeted the two blackguards with a Starlight Fireball. However, despite using multiple powers simultaneously, the soldiers dodged the attack.
This wasn't due to their own skill, but rather Levium's intervention, as he swiftly moved the two blackguards out of harm's way using his powers.
The demon's fireballs soared past them and continued their trajectory, exploding against the ground below them.
The clone pressed forward. There were many more targets in front of him, so he stopped targeting those two guys and set his sights on someone else.
But the battle became more brutal as soon as it resumed. The number of enemy soldiers was much bigger than that of Erik's clones, and they couldn't rest even for a second.
In addition, losing a brother meant killing more enemies to make up for it.
However, they were genuinely making progress. While there were still more enemies than Chimaeric Demons, their numbers were not infinite.
A soldier unleashed a strange energy blast, striking the Chimaeric Demon's wing. Unable to evade, the clone faltered mid-flight. In that split second of vulnerability, enemies swarmed from all directions. The creature let out one final, piercing screech before succumbing to the onslaught.
Many other clones fell to the same fate. One had just killed a soldier when a powerful energy blast hit him in the chest. Feathers fell from the sky all over the battlefield.
It was all Levium's fault.
The clone turned to his left and watched as another of his brothers fell through the sky, resembling a flaming ball or a meteor, inexorably heading towards the ground.
Meanwhile, Erik went through the chaotic battlefield. He darted between falling debris, clones, blackguards, and many bodies falling from the sky. Blasts of fire, wind, and many other kinds of energy cut the air as if they were a knife going through butter. Though the amount of blood around made it look more like the knife went through raw meat. A massive chunk of concrete plummeted from above. Erik spotted it at the last second, narrowly avoiding being crushed. As the debris neared, he darted beneath it, using the falling slab as cover to conceal his presence from those soaring overhead.
Then he did the same with a body that was free falling towards him. It was the corpse of a blackguard. It missed a head, but it wasn't the only injury on his body.
There was a huge burn mark on its back, and it was also missing a leg. The stump was losing copious amounts of blood, creating a bloody trail into the sky.
Erik used this to ascend further into the sky.
Levium was floating high above the battle. Getting to him looked nearly impossible. But just nearly. In truth, Erik got closer, higher. The man hadn't yet noticed Erik.
But while things were going well for him, the same couldn't be said for the Chimaeric Demons. There were too few of them to fight on equal ground with the blackguards. Their enemies weren't random thugs taken from the street like in Frant.
