Chapter 1104: Levium (21)
Erik wondered how powerful Uncle Benjamin\'s parallel will brain crystal power had to be to make him so aware of the battlefield. It was scary, but also alluring, because if he could put his hands on it, he would be at least as powerful as the man.
When the clone killed the soldier, Erik flew onto a floating piece of debris that Levium himself was keeping afloat.
From there, he flew toward a clone, landing on the back of the Chimaeric Demon. The clone, his movements wild and unpredictable, engaged in combat with three enemy soldiers simultaneously.
The clone killed them, and he spread his wings to soar higher.
However, Levium noticed it and sent a huge section of a building towards him. The building was moving too quickly, and Erik realized the clone would not survive. Erik swiftly took off as the concrete slammed into the Chimaeric Demon.
Erik\'s rage surged. He then landed on top of an energy shield.
The soldier controlling it was busy blocking attacks from below and didn\'t notice the tiny bug.
Erik moved across it, always keeping an eye on Levium. He was getting closer, but the last stretch was going to be the most challenging.
Suddenly, a powerful energy blast hit the shield. The impact almost knocked Erik off. He held on tight and waited for the shaking to stop before moving again.
Levium was right above him now, but still far away. Erik knew he had to move out at just the right moment to reach him.
The shield tilted. The soldier controlling it had been hit by something from behind.
Erik turned his insect\'s head to see what was happening.
<Damn Levium...>
The man sent some stones hurtling towards a Chimaeric Demon, but the clone used his speed to ensure Levium\'s attack would hit his own soldier.
Erik could no longer remain there, and as the shield dissipated, he leaped forward. Arcing through the air, he got closer to his target, behind him, aiming for Levium\'s neck. He was very close to the fucker.
The remaining Chimaeric Demons were in trouble. There were fewer of them now, less than 120. The battle had been as fast as it had been brutal. However, the clones had reduced the enemy forces by two-thirds.
This development was both beneficial and problematic, as Erik now had fewer allies to conceal his presence and to keep Levium at bay.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
<I only need one shot...>
That wasn\'t the only problem, though. Levium wasn\'t stupid. He had fewer pawns at his disposal due to the attack, and he was determined not to expose himself to Erik. Levium didn\'t know where the young man was, but was sure he was around here.
There was no other reason for Erik to send his troops to the slaughter, if it wasn\'t because he wanted to try to kill him and decapitate the blackguards of their leader. Additional enemy troops were making their way towards Levium\'s position.
<The bastard called for help.> A Chimaeric Demon thought.
Erik could, in theory, do the same. The problem was that his troops were blocked by the blackguards. It wasn\'t just that. Erik didn\'t want them to rush here because he needed them to keep bombarding the area.
A constant barrage of fire, in fact, rained down on the battlefield. This made it hard for the blackguards to find Erik, hiding him well, and it kept Levium under pressure.
But it also caused problems for the Chimaeric Demons, who had to dodge their own side\'s attacks.
They dodged energy blasts from enemy forces below while also escaping the fiery attacks from their own allies above.
Despite the incredible skills of the Chimaeric Demons, their efforts did not keep them alive, as Levium\'s army continued to attack with greater intensity.
A battered Chimaeric Demon confronted a group of elite blackguards, successfully taking down one, only to encounter two more. The enemy\'s fire hardened his feathers further, causing cracks to form.
Another clone joined, launching Starlight Fireballs. However, some newcomers came to the blackguards\' aid.
More and more soldiers poured in.
Just as the clones were about to meet their end, an energy blast tore through the air. It struck a blackguard, obliterating his head along with those of five soldiers behind him in a spray of blood and brain matter.
Then a series of rapid-fire shots rang out. The energy projectiles, seemingly composed of mana, consistently resulted in a kill.
The Chimaeric Demons looked around. More shots followed, each one finding its mark. Blackguards fell left and right, taken out by an unseen ally.
<What\'s happening?>
<I don\'t know. But whatever it is, it\'s buying us time.>
The unknown sniper kept shooting at the enemy. Whenever the blackguards tried to group up
or attack, the sniper would stop them with well-aimed shots. Even Levium failed to save his
soldiers.
The Chimaeric Demons could only imagine the frustration they felt. Up until now, Uncle Benjamin behaved as if he were a god. Observing the fight from above and intervening
whenever he saw fit.
Then, a massive amount of concrete, metal, and bricks floated around him, encapsulating the
Vindicator.
<The fucker!>
<What a coward.>
But in truth, Levium left some spots open so that he could observe the battlefield. Then he made the debris float at high speed.
The rotation was going to stop every attack while, at the same time, not preventing him from seeing what was happening around.
<Whoever\'s helping us should have hit Levium.>
The others agreed. It had been an amateurish move, but at least they didn\'t die, and the load for them was reduced.
The mysterious sniper continued their support, then arrows started joining the fray. Any time
a blackguard got into a position to threaten the clones, a well-placed shot would eliminate the danger. It was as if the Chimaeric Demons had gained a guardian angel.
<Ah...>
<What?> A Chimaeric Demon asked.
<I know who they are...>
It was at that moment that all the Clones understood. Emily, Mira, and Amber joined the
fight.
<We\'re pushing them back!>
Indeed, Levium\'s forces were beginning to falter. But the battle was far from over.
<Any news about the master?> A clone asked.
<No... But he must not be that far considering we can send mental messages to each other!>
