The magic circuit with Isabella at the center was quickly made, and all the mages from the edges of the city coordinated, with the eyes of the ones with the best strategy and control guiding them in creating a perfect link toward a spell of utter destruction.
Of course, during this time, the beasts rushing towards them weren’t just frozen. The beasts had marched forth with gusto to be met by an overwhelming defense of the city, the lead taken by Marlene, whose whale-like strength came to great display here.
She took the most dangerous place, jumping into battle straight into the heart of the enemy as she started her slaughter. Within her hand flashed her great sword that kept ripping the lives of the enemies that came close to her. Marlene’s killing intent was high as her slaughter continued.
Around her was a small layer of water that kept circulating around her, helping to bring forth more of the dormant abilities within her. In the battle, Marlene wasn’t alone as the frontal assault team had taken their stance. Demons were in a frenzy, their slaughter taking place.
The beings of the sea followed their princess as they led to battle and created a situation of control over the battlefield.
The tortoise clan used their tougher shell as the best defense, guarding the vanguard along with those specialized in defense. The mermaids took total cover as their voice controlled over the battlefield, causing chaos with every scream of theirs.
As such, there were several students of different species causing the best chaos they could. Within a portion, Rina could be seen, her body moving between states as she kept unleashing chaos, jumping around. Her legs contracted to fill with power as her kicks took down beasts, swirling around to avoid a hit. Her hands enlarged into a huge size as they came down, killing the enemies. Her whole body was a weapon, her movements catching the eyes of many as a beast tribe known for being weak caused chaos.
Sana was like a ghost. She didn’t outright kill, but her silent appearances at the correct time, cutting off tendons and limbs, were saving more lives. Jacob was a large berserker of the battlefleet as he kept causing death, his humongous axe blasted down, reaping lives as he moved.
His humongous body rippled, his eyes turning red as he kept his slaughter. The more blood he saw, the stronger he was getting. Jacob, Rina, and Marlene were on the same battlefield, a synergy forming between them as a brutal killing began. Mika and Rika, as always, were together, their coordination impeccable. They had their own circle of beasts trying to end them, but none could break the enrollment they had created among themselves.
Clara was focused much on the healing department, her power being rare as she kept moving between the different layers of danger. She would be at the place where the danger would be focused the most as her healing of darkness would save lives and still keep the battle going. At the same time, Clara would also sneakily use her newly gained abilities to increase the pain her enemies were feeling.
Angelina’s demonic control spread around the battlefield. She was surrounded by her trusted people and also the beasts! Her charm was enough to bring down a whole lot of them while she took control of what she could, making her battle area the least brutal.
Olivia and Nora led the battle at another side, the entire bloodlust of the battleground circling around Nora, a deep red color enrolling her. Her bloodline roared at the deaths and cries all around her, her powers sizzling as beings made of Bloodlust filled the grounds following Nora’s command.
She was a one-woman army as she led a whole circle of battle. Her “army” was composed of bloodlust followers following her mind’s commands, creating the perfect round of defense and attack. Olivia wasn’t far behind Nora, as her body was covered with the inheritor’s legacy armor, while the sword of the ancestor flashed within her hand.
Small light wings burned behind her, while the power of heat and sun swirled around Nora. A single swing from her hands created centered hot blasts that kept taking out dozens of beasts. Like the rest, she too was leading her group of fighters, based more on powered attacks.
Catherine was getting the most work, as it was her voice that gave a break to the battlefield. When the situation at a place would get hopeless or have extreme injuries, she would use her voice, casting pause or stop, giving a few seconds to change the tide of battle or help in bringing the injured to be treated.
Her voice, as time went by, was getting heavier as she had to move 360 degrees all around the battlefield to keep balance and check for the healers to move in to help.
Bale, the prince of the kingdom of stones, granite, and defense, was among the main leaders of the defense. His magic of earth kept taking down several beasts, and at the same time, provided adequate defense and safety. It was his side of the battle that was giving the least amount of ground to the beasts.
Ron led his group of attackers. They were a group purely focused on one attack, with the lead taken by Ron. In his hand, his two swords flashed as he danced around in the battlefield. Following him was his group, mostly focused on close-range attackers of swordsmen, spear users, and more. Their movement was the most brutal type competing with Marlene’s attackers.
From a strategic point of view, the group of students defending the city was taking the lead, but the limitations of their powers were soon set in. With most of the mages taken out, and with several long-range attackers, the sky had become a dangerous place to play in.
Just a few of them weren’t enough to keep the skies down. Carmelia, by now, had blood completely filling her hands from her finger. It was when the situation was looking dire that Austin had stepped into the battlefield for the sky, just his presence completely changing the attack flow.
Austin was like an unstoppable monster of battle, as his arrows seemed endless and flowed like the smoothest silk. Each of his arrows hit and took down a significant number of beasts with a single hit.
He was fierce, he was strong, and he was unbeatable.
Several times powerful spells would leave Austin’s control as a large number of beasts fell under his attack, while his arrows and shots kept raining down. Austin had single-handedly controlled the flow in the sky while at the same time commanding the whole battlefield. His actions couldn’t help but gain the admiration of all.
“How’s the statistics coming along?” Austin asked as he kept firing his arrows, his hands stained with a bit of blood, but he never stopped firing.
“The death toll is increasing, and we will soon run out of potions,” Ella replied as she stood at a safe distance. Even she, who had a dislike for him, couldn’t help but now have a hint of admiration for the qualities that Austin was displaying.
BOOM!
With another shot, a large number of beasts from the sky fell. Seeing this, Austin turned towards Emily, who was having her own battles.
“How’s the situation with Sabrina? Is she ready?” he asked.
“She can move when you say so,” Emily replied while her leaves reaped another life in the sky. Several leaves surrounded her, flying to the sky and taking lives, though her mana was quickly depleting.
“Is Isabella all set?!” Austin asked in a scream as he got back to shooting things down.
“She is!” the woman who worked for Isabella replied. Seeing this, Austin let out a sigh as his command went to the top leaders.
“Get ready, we will be retreating,” he commanded. By now, all the beasts had entered the battle, making it a shitshow. Several people had to group up to hold the powerful back, while the ground was now filled with blood, bodies, and deaths.
While everything looked good, the war had now been going on for 45 minutes, and everyone was getting tired. Thus, the number of injuries and death was increasing, while the beasts somehow seemed to be injected with steroids as they were seemingly getting stronger. The situation, in a nutshell, wasn’t looking good.
Austin gazed at all this as he gave out his command.
“Sabrina, do it.”
Just as he finished speaking, the ground started to tremble. Something was going to happen.
