BXBX NOVEL Chapter 137 Battle Of The Lowest (7)
It was a complete hellscape.
Thunder cracked with the firing of each massive spell, rain poured down from the sky as if the gods were mourning for the insane amount of corpses, and bullets slid past us, slick with water and almost littered us with holes.
If it wasn\'t for our armor, we probably would\'ve died already.
Quickly, we were led by the truck driver into a trench that was filled with an even more ravishing smell than before.
It made me want to throw up and spill my small breakfast everywhere.
The trench was so packed with people trying to escape the gunfire that I could barely breathe and the screams of terrified soldiers cuddled with the whistles of bullets and arrows.
BOOM
A large fireball immediately hit the inside of the trench, and I saw a few adventurers run out to take on what seemed to be about eight thousand men.
But, there were also about five hundred people behind our trench, meaning if we didn\'t step in now, everybody here would die.
Why the fuck did he pick the losing side for us to go to… fuck.
"FOLLOW ME!" I shouted to my party, leaving the other soldiers to do whatever they wanted to do.
Right now, we had to slaughter the five hundred soldiers surrounding the back of our trench.
Quickly, Cy immediately jumped into the crowd and swung his spear that had been coated in dark red flames, tearing apart about twenty compacted soldiers.
His smile told me everything, as the intoxicating feeling of XP coursing through your veins was something any drug addict would pay to have.
Then, Findir infiltrated the five hundred people by coating himself with dark winds, slipping past the weaklings and making his way to one of the adventurers… that he slew in an instant.
Even as he realized a pair of legs had warped around his throat, two sickles dug into the top of his skull, ending his life in an instant.
Bella was now conjuring a massive fireball above her head that sparked with bright red electricity, killing anybody who came near her.
A few of the adventurers mixed into the lot group tried to stop her with reinforced arrows and other spells, but her bright red ball of fire just consumed everything that tried to threaten Bella\'s life.
"[Seventh Flame of Hell]," I heard Bella mutter, and then the ball of fire split into fiery chains that stabbed through at least half of the small army before us.
Finally, Aisa was acting as a perfect assassin just like Findir as she slowly but surely took down the weak adventurers that tried to eliminate Bella or Cy.
"Kekekeke… This is it… This is what I wanted!" I shouted as tears of joy ran down my face, my smile so wide that it touched my ears, and my eyes so squinted that I could barely see anything.
As I took a step forward, a dark red cloak wrapped around me, mixing with the orange light, which soon fused into my chest.
An even darker red aura fused itself into my armor, turning the metal gray into a pitch-black set of armor.
In order to become stronger… you must become the enemy who defeated you.
"Come… my third eye,"
Upon speaking these words, the entire battlefield froze, and an eerie silence muffled the pouring rain and crackling thunder.
Sssssss… BOOOOOM
My spear, the sangria king\'s spear, launched from behind the dark clouds, crashing into a group of about one hundred soldiers, instantly smashing them into a pulp.
Fear had become a new element that mixed itself with the stained oxygen we were all breathing.
My right eye glowed a dim dark red color, matching my spear, which I slowly picked up.
A blast of bloodlust exploded from my body, disintegrating all the corpses surrounding me and causing the remaining pitiful soldiers to faint at just my presence.
…
(Bella POV)
It was as if a god had descended upon the battlefield.
The boy I once knew who relied only on his intelligence to survive had been devoured by this monster standing in front of me.
His bloodlust was like an S-Rank Beast that devoured anything in its path, not only the corpses of the fallen but the bodies of the living.
Thankfully, it didn\'t eat his comrades, but as he slowly approached us, ready to give orders as the army of about eight thousand strong were quickly approaching us, I felt his bloodlust graze the back of my neck.
Upon feeling it, I immediately realized that this thing was like Orion\'s consciousness.
It devoured anything it saw as an enemy, protected anything it saw as its ally and was wary of anything that was in between the two.
"The trench has already been overrun. Back up should be coming soon… but why would we let them take all of this free XP,"
His smile was sadistic and demonic, something a human shouldn\'t have.
"KILL THESE FIVE! THEY MUST BE HIGH RANKERS IN THE ARMY! IF WE ELIMINATE THEM, WE WIN!" The commander, who was riding on a white griffin, cried out before immediately targeting Orion.
It flew down towards him, and even though I knew Orion could easily take care of this, I decided to help out just a bit.
A giant bolt of lightning shot from my hand, draining only a little bit of my mana while also managing to take down the Griffen.
Well, not really take it down but bring it down from the skies… yeah, that\'s what I meant to say.
But Orion missed his swing when I had prepared the griffin right in front of him, ready for the kill.
"YOU BASTARDDDDDD!" I heard the commander shout, and suddenly, I realized what he was doing.
That intelligent and sadistic bastard… Okay, well, you do you.
I decided to just focus on the thousands of soldiers in front of me… and showed them no mercy.
"As the wielder of the seventh flame, I release the seal on my body and let it consume a part of my soul… [Soul Link: Asmodeus the Demon of Judgement],"
