Another: Memory of Another World
Ch. 6 Peak crisis moments
(has been revised)
An hour passed by just like that, and the two Goblin Warriors finally collapsed.
Looking at the little boy standing with his face lifted made everyone's heart pound. Even Steve could not believe it, the fact that the boy had managed to dispel the 3 Goblin Warriors alone. Scars of chaos around him, blood-stained weapons lying just like that, and the corpse of a green creature sprawled under the moonlight. For a moment, everyone thought there was no scene more terrifying and more beautiful than the one.
It takes a while for everyone to process the information in front of them.
"Ha... Yeaaaaaaah !! Antares is !!"
"He's yanking!"
Then a roar of happiness and admiration resounded tore through the chaos of the battlefield.
"Hehehe, even though I thought it, it's still hard to believe."
"It seems that in the village we have been born a monster!"
"We may still see tomorrow."
*Rooaa-!!!*
The roar in the crowd was like pouring cold water on the heads of the guards. Their sense of happiness soon evaporated, replaced by maximum alertness and fear.
The scourge that roared was the Barbarian Goblin that remained silent until this very moment. He lifted his axe into the air, then pointed it towards the residents. Immediately, the Goblins stormed out violently. They did not care about the cold iron in the hands of the guards like the possessed.
Antares sees them in a state of semi-consciousness. When he was about to raise his sword, a shout came from the opposite direction.
"Strike them! Finish everything! Don't leave one!"
"Don't let them get close to Antares!"
Antares' eyes reflected the people who were filled with struggle. The scene seemed to wake up someone who was asleep in Antares, making a thin smile engraved on his face. Right, he didn't fight alone.
The guards who rediscovered his spirit, raised their spears and shields firmly. "We are proud to fight here. We are proud to die today! We are proud to sacrifice our soul and body right now!" All of them shouted the sentence in their hearts, like a prayer for salvation.
Arrows rained down on the Goblins' back lines about their heads, bodies, or legs. Of course it was many of them who did not kill the target, yet it was more than enough to reduce the number of enemies coming.
"Now is the time to try this talent! [Guardian]!" a guard raised a blue shining shield
"Feel my new strength! [Cinder Flame] was added to the spear." a guard raised the spear with eyes glowing red.
"Anjay, look where you're attacking, Oi!" the other guards wore green shining shoes and weapons.
The phalanx formation ensured that none of the goblins managed to escape from them, ensuring that every enemy died in front of them.
Looking at the people who fought, like pressing a switch in Antares' body. He started walking, followed by running towards the front line. The [Mana Burst] skill was immediately activated to strengthen his body. When he was about to reach the frontline, Antares jumped into the air.
"[Firestorm]!"
A huge flame tongue that swerved like a tornado immediately formed amidst the crowd of monsters. Its size was so large that it made everyone grip his feet on the ground so as not to be blown away by the waves of hot wind. The moonlight suddenly replaced the bright red light that burned the eyes. In an instant the flames engulfed dozens of Goblins, leaving behind a black body that almost turned to ashes after his departure.
"Wow.. outside bi- (smack) Ow!"
"Don't daydream now! Don't stop attacking! Focus on the enemy in front of you!" Steve roared like a beast. "Now is not the time to hold back, let go of everything. [Wind Chasing Arrow]!"
"Aye sir!"
Steve released the mana-reinforced arrow and the wind element. It flew through the air and hit its target in the blink of an eye. Bury it and then stab it into the ground or hit another Goblin behind it.
Each guard in the front line had to fight 2-3 goblins at the same time. They had to part from the defending squads due to the lack of spears. Make themselves as a moving shield. In this condition, they will choose a group of 2 or more people to increase the chance of survival. They would face twice as many Goblins while guarding each other's backs.
Among them Antares himself moved here and there tirelessly. Cutting off the goblin's head every time it swung its sword with a technique as efficiently as possible. Luckily he fought at night, as the output of [Mana Burst] was much less than his regeneration rate. So he can continue to maintain a high-speed fight like a dragonfly in the air. One by one the goblins fell and made a lot of blood fly in the air. His body will move according to sensations and commands from his subconscious. If an ordinary human were to experience what Antares was going through right now, their bodies would not last more than 60 minutes. Their bones will crack and their muscles tear as they are forced to move beyond their capacity. While the child has been fighting for 3 hours nonstop.
"Steve, wouldn't it be better to let Antares rest? He forced himself too much!" shouted one of the guards in the back row
"No, there's no need. Let him enjoy himself for now. I bet he can't hear our voice at the moment, that's what often happens to people who want to break through his limits. Still, don't take your eyes off her." Steve said while releasing his magical hot boy.
"Good!"
The Goblin horde rapidly declined to 100 fewer individuals. The high morale of the guards made the Goblins tremble. As soon as they turned to look at his comrade, then the spears of the guards had already hollowed out his chest. Seeing his subordinates decrease faster and faster with time, the Barbarian Goblin finally set foot in the battle area.
*RAaaaaa!*
"Finally it came too, but still, shit...!" Steve grumbling. "Return troops!"
The grandfather immediately pulled back the guards, using a total defensive formation. Everyone obeyed the order without much thought, leaving a 140 cm tall little boy covered in blood. Where his whole shirt has turned red. His face was pale with bad breath.
"Eru, take control! I'll help Antares face that monster! Just focus on the rest!"
"okay!"
Steve immediately jumped into the battle. Not to forget, he also finished off the Goblins on the road with a swing of his bow. Right flowing swing, left horizontal swing, right sweeping movement, upper cut, followed by a tight kick. The poor goblin was flown in a striped row, then landed on the trunk of a large tree that crushed his entire backbone and ribs. When Steve got to the vanguard, the Barbarian Goblin had already blown his axe into Antares position.
Antares dodged the attack with an epic gesture of twisting his body, allowing the axe to flow down right in front of his face. Then he jumped a moment later. Because of the great power, the axe sank to the ground. Then the surrounding ground exploded, flying a lump of earth as fast as a bullet. But all of these projectiles can be handled easily by Antares.
Skill from Air Rider?! // Steve's face is getting hard.
Right at the same time the pillar of fire storm burst out from above the ground. It seemed absurd how the blaze could withstand the earth's thump, but when it came into contact with the storm's pillar of fire, the earth bullet instantly evaporated into ash. Then the pillar turned into a pickaxe that continued to grow and devour anything in front of it.
The goblin activated his skill, then cut the fire tornado several times. The fire tornado was split open with a clear cut. But it doesn't just disappear. The goblin immediately looked towards the head of his axe, and he was surprised that one of his axe eyes had turned red and had slightly dripped onto the ground.
Fire Magical Special type? Since when can that brat use this kind of technique?! // Shock with the development of Antares does not mean Steve forgot the task to defeat the Goblin. While the Goblin can dispel 3 arrows that come to him in a state of shock.
It is not strange that the Barbarian Goblin skill does not bear sweet fruit, because it often happens in the forest. But he did not expect to meet an opponent as tough as himself in this kind of small village. More than that, he had seen a long battle between the Goblin Warriors and those young warriors. His sword skill was impressive, his reaction was impressive as well, yet that was it. The strength he showed was nothing. The Barbarian Goblin felt that luck was beginning to leave her at that very instant. And for that, he felt a bit angry.
"[Summer Rain]!" // Steve immediately released another skill. Magic formations were formed in front of his bow, when passing through it, arrows as if parting from each other into 4 were all made of pure wind.
The Barbarian Goblin can dispel with one big swing. His brain quickly determined the danger level of the two enemies in front of him. One is a big boy and the other is an experienced parent. With a sharp roar, he charged towards the old Steve with fiery red eyes. He thought of eliminating the weakest humans first.
Left diagonal swing, upper cut, then big flowing swing from left.
Steve dodges by jumping backwards on every swing. Cold sweat began to wet his hands as a natural reaction. // He directly uses the mode plug!
When the Barbarian is about to hit the kombonya, Antares appears behind the Goblin like a ghost. The end of the Goblin's eyes slightly twitched feeling the sudden presence of the boy. Then he immediately swung his axe to stop it. (Click !) The two weapons met in midair, creating a terrifying shockwave.
Even level 21 was the pinnacle of human potential, a clash between two equivalent forces would produce a shockwave like a hand grenade.
Steve immediately released another arrow coated [Mana Burst]. But as expected from the perception of a clatter, the Goblin could avoid it as easily as moving her head.
Antares leapt back, took the horses, then lunged towards Barbarian with a red-orange sword. Everyone regarding the skill, the ability that almost all fighters have [Mana Burst]. The Goblin also activated hers, and once again the two clashed with each other's powers. Antares immediately loosened his momentum, allowing the Goblin's attack to reach the ground, then he slashed the Barbarian's hand. The resulting wound is not much, then the fire blazes from the incision.
The Goblin clicked her tongue in annoyance, first because the boy had successfully injured her, on the other hand, an arrow was flying towards her. The Barbarian takes a wide step to the side while lifting his arm behind his back. (klang) The arrow has a strong enough momentum, then plus the Barbarian's own skill, and then, now the attack is twice as fast.
Antares' reaction was still fast enough to block the attack, but he was still knocked several meters back.
Damnit damnit! I don't want to use it because it doesn't have much effect on this battle, roar [Dragon Blood]! // Ancient energy immediately gushed out of Steve's body. His strength was now on par with a level 11 ranger. Making him qualified enough to fight with the Barbarian Goblin. Then he instantly unleashed a barrage of arrows crazily.
The Barbarian Goblin was quite surprised by the increase, but she was still able to avoid and dispel the arrows. The Goblin immediately lunged at Steve, then downed his axe.
Steve dodged the swing of the axe a little trouble. Then he released the arrow from his bow with all his ability. But the Goblin can easily get through it.
When the Barbarian was about to attack, the tip of the mouths of the two men twitched. Both of them moved away from each other in a hurry. A moment later a pillar of fire gushed out from beneath the ground both of them. The temperature was so hot that they felt burning despite not touching it directly. The fire tornado continued to grow for a while, before disappearing without a trace.
You want to kill me, boy! // Steve couldn't help his screams.
Antares immediately lunges at the Goblin while Steve releases a few arrows. The Goblin gritted her teeth, then her axe shrouded in flaming mana.
Antares slightly reduced his momentum according to his instincts. The boy could hear a voice from behind him, yet he could not understand it clearly.
The Goblin bent her knees, then charged towards Antares with all her might.
"Rassyvielk !"
The axe was swung down powerfully like a madman. Antares dodged with lazy acrobatic jumps into the air. From the tip of his eyes he could see waves of energy flying in the shape of a crescent moon. The attack did not get there. Following the resulting power, the Goblin made a full turn then unleashed a diagonal downward attack. Antares did not have time to avoid it in the air, he could only minimize the damage that would be suffered using his sword. With a loud voice and the glint of Antares' light crashing again. This time, with a new wound.
