3878 The Last Horde III

Rip Puch Rip!

My attacks tore through monster after monster, but there were too many of them.

The leader kept sending the monsters despite the many we killed, and monsters kept coming. Usually after, so much die and the aura of death pervades everywhere; the monsters stop and retreat; defying even their leader.

It is not happening, no matter how many we killed. They kept coming.

It had been two hours already, and there were more monsters than we had fought anywhere in the sea, including the hordes led by the primes.

All the monsters were the Sky Sovereigns and only those with the power of the Sky Sovereigns could kill them.

BANNNG!

Suddenly, not far away from me. The monsters were able to hand the beast-man, sending him flying toward another monster behind.

It had already opened its mouth to swallow him up.

Puch!

The arrow hit the monster, killing it, while the invisible push from me sent him back into the ship, where the healers were waiting to heal him.

This is another thing we are facing.

Our members are strong, and the monsters are having problems dealing with them, but they are dealing with them slowly. Our numbers are falling and if they fall to a certain level, then it will be bad.

Everyone understood it well and gave their all to fight the monsters.

However, this time, we didn't necessarily to win against the horde. We only need to survive long enough, seven hours, but even that would be challenging.

Not challenging. Impossible. If the horde kept attacking us with such intensity and the numbers. At most, we will be able to last for three more hours, before we get tired, and the monster massacre us.

I have prepared for the contingencies, but I rather not use them.

If I need to use those means, over a hundred thousand people will die. Nobody wants to see it happen, especially the captain.

Any time such incidents occur, their organization suffers a huge reputation loss, that affects their business. Not to mention, this time, there is a freaking prime on the ship and if he died, the damage to the organization will be incalculable.

Though, it is unlikely.

In the past three weeks, I have investigated the place where he is himself and I have to say, it is good.

It is hiding in the bunker made of trisakis metal. It is small but undetectable, and the only reason, I was able to detect it is due to the forbidden power. To the monsters, it would be just a piece of rock.

It is also quite strong, even the captain would need a day of effort to break that thing.

Hun!

I quickly pushed away thoughts as I noticed a group of powerful monsters coming toward us.

"Five are coming," I said to the captain, and he turned to the dark, red-skinned woman with an ax. She tore through the monsters she was fighting and appeared beside us, right at the time. five pearl white manta rays came out of the water.

They are big, each one as big as a small house, and they immediately surrounded us from all sides before the attack.

The three released a concentrated white beams of energy while two had attacked us with their fins.

Varba moved toward the one attacking us with the fins, while the captain shot the arrows at the four manta rays in quick succession.

I stayed at my stop as the sphere appeared around us. These monsters are powerful; I could not clash against the direct and if not for my shields, I wouldn't have been standing here.

CLANNNG!

A loud crashing sound rang around as Varba's ax clashed against the first manta ray. She not only stopped the attack but also injured it.

Not heavily, but still, the injury is big.

BANNNNG BANG BANG!

The next moment, the other manta ray crashed against the sphere. Sending the ripples across it; At the same time, three beams of energy crashed against the sphere.

It lit up the sphere, but it absorbed it a moment later.

They attacked against and this time, aimed for Varda, who swiftly returned to the shield, before going out to attack the manta ray again.

My shields are flexible, they can not only let the arrows out but also people, while at the same time defending against the attacks of the enemies.

Varda is power as the captain, more so seeing as she used the ax while captain the bow.

He had more flexibility while she had more power, but if they had fought against these five monsters without me, Varda would have been in big trouble while the captain would have been in little less as she could have been able to keep the bay.

Though it would have taken him quite a long time to kill these monsters; the time we didn't have.

CLANNNNG BANNNG BANG!

The manta ray clashed against the Varda again while I defended against the attacks of the monsters with my shields.

"These bastards have thick skin!" cursed Captain, but didn't stop firing arrows.

He is cursing, but he is making progress. I am confident, that he will kill them, and his kill count would be more than Varda.

He may not produce as much power with those arrows as the direct weapons, but he had his advantages. He had many special arrows and not all of them were the methods, some were specially forged arrows.

He rarely uses them, but whenever he does, he kills the enemies.

Seconds passed, and we clashed in the sphere. The others didn't have the luxury of such safety, they were fighting with their life on the line.

Some dying, while many are getting injuries.

Now and then, the people would come out of the ship. These are the people who were injured and came out to the fight after dealing with their injuries.

Pachac!

At the twenty-seventh second, a bloody sound rang out. The big manta had torn in two. It died, killed by the Varba.

"Tilllllll!"

They screamed and came at Varba in fury, not caring about the arrows of the captain. Which they could bear with the minor injury.

Puch Puch!

Well, it was a mistake. Two among yellow arrows, which they had been to defend till now, suddenly sped up. They realized the threat instantly, but it had already become too late as the two arrows pierced through their eyes.

Leaving only two manta rays.

The shields disappeared. There are only two have remained and while they are dangerous, the two are more than capable of dealing with them.

The manta rays came full of fury and to my surprise, one of them came at me, but needed to abandon a moment later to avoid the arrows.

Puch!

It couldn't; powerful arrow revealed itself and pierced through it. Blasting its heart apart.

We moved as the captain killed it. Leaving the last one to Varba, who had killed it seven and a half seconds later. In the same way, she had killed the first Manta Ray.

To be honest, I would rather fight two captains than Varba. She uses physical greater than other powerhouses which is my weakness.

The energy I could bear. It is physical power against which I struggle.
