Not A Hero
Eps. 26 - Plan B
"BOMBS!" A massive explosion occurred in the Emerlin Mine Area.
That place is ripping off now. Fortunately, people were evacuated to safety. The rest are just people who are likely capable of dealing with Max in his crazy mode.
The four commanders, Zhale, Barrey, the robed Youth, an Archer, and Escal were in a condition that could be said to be not good enough. Suffered many injuries, but was still able to stand.
Although Max's condition is not much different, especially with one arm that has been cut off, there is no sign he will fall. Even the Citadel was already half-collapsed at this moment.
“GRAHH!"
Monster-like Max went berserk, roaring and hitting the ground so hard that cracks appeared. Even the impact to cause a small Earthquake.
Everyone bounced, the archer also fell from his footing on top of the tower which then collapsed and it was hard to stand.
“Damn, if this continues. It will not end well!” Escal spread his gaze for a moment.
Gritting his teeth, Escal who only had half of the entire Mana summoned the Spear of Hydra who levelled up to Level Two with a slightly larger size.
Not so consider the injuries on his body important, Escal darted along with the Mini Hydra he made. He had to finish the fight immediately, before the Mananya ran out.
Facing two fairly strong figures, Max had little difficulty to compensate for the cooperation between Escal and the Mini Hydra. Moreover, with only one hand left, he received many injuries.
But it seemed, the Forbidden Technique he used had another advantage even though the control of his mind was lost, which was to grow stronger as the injuries he could get worse.
Max's fiery red eyes flashed coldly before gripping the Mini Hydra's feet and slamming them firmly to pieces.
Escal himself did not believe what he saw. The Mini Hydra was destroyed easily, its split focus making Escal almost hit by Max's powerful punch.
Luckily he positioned his sword in front to fend off, even though it made his Sword Blade which still had quite a lot of Durability crumble.
“Sial!” Not getting there, Escal was again hit by Max who was suddenly in front of him.
Crashing into the ruined Fortress, it became even more shattered. Escal spewed out a mouthful of fresh blood, his bones and internal organs were completely badly injured at this moment.
“Gr.. Grrhhh!”
Max is growling, moving slowly to Escal's place. Whether his consciousness was still there or not, he felt like he believed that nothing could defeat him at this moment.
Now that he was right in front of Escal who already had no strength to dodge, Max raised his big hand that was enveloped by an evil aura.
"No!"
"Stop!"
"Escal!"
The screams of several people he recognized sounded to defend him. Somehow Escal found it a little funny, because he wouldn't die here.
Because the plan he made was not just one, and right now he was enough to buy time.
A loud whistling sound suddenly rang out from the direction of the City, Max looked in that direction with a threatened look as if knowing what was coming.
“Give up, dirty humans who cooperate with demons!”
The domineering and majestic sounding voice, entered the hearing of everyone present in the Emerlin Mine. A Man suddenly came in his great white robe.
The visuals are handsome like Escal with long golden blonde hair, and beautiful sapphire blue eyes. Darius Harzt, he's Escal's backup plan.
......................
Earlier, when discussing about the plan of the raid. Escal also discusses a backup plan, think of it as Plan B if the original plan that was Plan A did not go according to plan.
Even if the initial plan went as Escal had expected, there was no harm in calling for help from the Kingdom to take care of the continuation of this matter.
Although Escal was not grateful for the failure of the initial plan, but he was quite happy with the second plan because it seemed to work.
Stalling and waiting until help arrives when the troops are unable to defeat the enemy. An important point in this plan is, the Relief Force sent by the kingdom.
Surely this would not have happened and went according to Escal's plan, if not the four Commanders themselves who agreed to ask for reinforcements from the kingdom.
Darius Harzt, he was the leader of the reinforcements in question. High Human Level 5 with Job Saint who is special to deal with things that contain curses or darkness.
Max who felt threatened immediately wanted to leave the place, but Darius of course immediately stopped him.
“Your only place is, Hell! Golden Sacred Chain.”
Darius pointed his hand at Max, and suddenly a golden-colored magic circle appeared under Max which instantly made him unable to move.
Six golden-colored chains suddenly appeared and wrapped around Max's body, with their pointed ends stuck in both hands and feet, head, and then heart.
Darius made a hand-grasping motion, and at once the Chain wrapped around it was stronger, until Max's body became shattered into pieces.
Everyone in his place was astonished and also horrified by the sight earlier.
“Thank you for your hard work, God must be happy with your fight against the enemies of the world.”
The injured people were overwhelmed by small grains of light that slowly healed their wounds. Escal is no exception. It was a Skill that Saints generally possessed, namely Heal.
A short while after that, the royal knight army came following and helped the rest.
Darius also represented his troops for arriving late because the Teleport Scroll was lacking, so it took longer to increase supplies.
“Nothing, we are grateful you have come Saint Darius.”
Having a gentle smile on his lips, Darius nodded. But the expression became quite serious all of a sudden.
“According to your request which is in the mail, you also said that it is likely that the Third Prince was also involved. Tell me, what does that mean?”
