The wall blocked the view of the blackguards and gave Erik and Richard the chance to get out of the building without being pelted by attacks.
They went behind the stone wall, leaning their backs against it.
"I just need you to attack from afar and distract them," Erik said.
Richard struggled to hear amidst the barrage of attacks raining down on the wall.
"Do nothing dangerous, Richard, or the whole point of coming here to get you out would have been pointless!"
Richard nodded, and then Erik channeled mana into his Frostwind Fire tempest brain crystal power.
A dense cloud of vapor formed around him, spreading throughout the courtyard.
As the heavy mist settled, it created a shroud of obscurity that would make it challenging for the enemy to detect Richard.
Visibility dropped to nearly zero. "What the hell is this?" one of them shouted.
"I can't see a thing!"
Erik took a deep breath. "It's time."
Richard nodded.
Erik came out of the wall, though invisible this time. Since he had many people to kill, he couldn't hold himself. Besides, the sheer number of enemy blackguards required him to avoid taking damage as best as possible.Fôll0w current novÊls on n/o/(v)/3l/b((in).(co/m)
Volkov tried to flood the battlefield with his lightning, but they got absorbed by the pillars Erik made, and that some of the blackguards were trying to destroy. However, all of that pushed Erik to pump more mana into them, increasing his mana expenditure.
He created another ice pillar after one got destroyed.
Richard remained behind the wall, using all his mana to keep it up and killing any man or woman who tried to approach.
The cloud of vapor was working. The blackguards had to take aim to kill him, but he could simply unleash stone projectiles to kill someone. He didn't need to hide, because he knew he would hit someone.
Besides, the number of people combined with the thick vapor made it impossible for them to see what Richard did, and making it challenging to see Erik or spot any attack.
Erik found Volkov through the mist. Beside him, Zakir waited.
But despite being invisible and shrouded by the mist, the younger man and Volkov seemed to see him. "What the fuck?"
Though the ones closest to Erik died, around 20 people.
[LEVEL UP.]
The guards crumpled to the ground in a pool of their own blood. The wind blade made it obvious where Erik was. Volkov already told them he was invisible, and as trained as they were, the blackguards started understanding what they had to do to kill him.
A blackguard lunged at where Zakir and Volkov told them to attack, and Erik responded with a rapid punch to the throat. The Force Bastion's force waves took care of the man's head.
Eighty blackguards died, until that point, also thanks to Richard, who was still killing the blackguards as he could and making the situation easier for Erik.
Then Zakir attacked again. Erik barely had time to avoid the strike as he jumped from the spot
he was on.
His mana was draining. He had to keep the mist going, the pillars tall, the armor on at all times, and at the same time, attack and kill.
Besides, Zakir proved to be much better than Erik assumed.
"This is the difference between a human and a Thaid. They make their strength much deadlier than theirs when at the same level."
Unfortunately, it was rare for a person to reach such high levels. Otherwise, the Thaids would
have been all dead already.
Zakir kept chasing Erik all over the battlefield. "These fucking things are very problematic."
Erik gave a hateful look at the man's tendrils.
Then Erik looked around; if it wasn't for him having to avoid all these attacks, he would have already killed Zakir and Volkov.
Volkov was currently impaired by Erik's pillars, but what he couldn't do, he could tell the others to do. Each individual blackguard was too weak to even see Erik move. But with the man's ability, he could simply say, 'attack here, attack there, make a barrier'.
That was why Erik was still stuck in the prison courtyard.
At that point, though, Erik sensed more people coming from the base.
[LEVEL UP.]
More blood got to the ground.
Erik reached out to Richard with his instability brain crystal power.
