[801-1000] THE EVOLUTION OF A GOBLIN TO THE PEAK

Chapter 914 Battle at the Selnes Country: Fight to destroy the device

A dozen One or Two Shackles experts wouldn't have posed much of a threat to them individually, but the situation was different this time.

Ugh!

Eilish spat out a mouthful of blood. She was in a sorry state, her entire left arm badly burned, her natural defenses shattered, and now in a vulnerable state.

A Three Shackle expert stared at her with crazed eyes. "Y-You... You didn't care about yourself at all?!"

Eilish forced a smile onto her face. "No, I sacrificed my arm to free some of our warriors. I can repair it later."

Eilish was the one responsible for that explosion. She cleverly redirected her opponent's attack toward the targeted area. However, she knew this alone wouldn't suffice. That's why she disregarded her own safety, channeling her energy into the enemy's energy beam to amplify it. This action, in turn, burnt her entire left arm, and the potential consequences of failure would have been dire.

"Y-You...! I'll kill you now!" The Three Shackles expert clenched his teeth and lunged at her.

Eilish responded, "I'm not your opponent anymore."

As soon as she uttered those words, a strand of flesh wound itself around her feet. In the next instant, it pulled her to the ground, causing her opponent to turn his head.

What he witnessed was a figure cloaked in a mass of flesh. This figure was still locked in combat with another Three Shackles expert, but he could see a strand of flesh connecting it to Eilish.

The figure shrouded in the mass of flesh was Alice.

"You!!" His anger flared. He was about to pursue her when he sensed several fluctuations behind him.

Boom!!

He turned his head and saw several figures rushing toward him. The explosion had enabled this group of warriors to defeat their opponents, and now they were ready to join the fight.

Boom!! Boom!!

The sound of explosions resonated throughout the surroundings.

Alice stepped back, cradling Eilish. Eilish was visibly exhausted and likely unable to continue fighting. Nevertheless, her efforts had significantly contributed to helping the other warriors eliminate their opponents.

In that explosion, a total of eleven One Shackle experts and four Two Shackles experts had perished. Even a Three Shackles expert was left injured, providing an opportunity for a warrior from Aaru to end their lives.

"We have a chance..." Alice murmured to herself. She glanced at Eilish and inquired, "How are you feeling?"

"I'm fine... I just have a little energy left," Eilish replied.

Alice nodded and focused on the expert blocking her path. She whispered, "Keep this guy occupied for a few seconds, and I'll move to free the Blue Cross Squad."

"How do you plan to do that?" Eilish inquired.

"I'll accompany the warriors from Aaru. They'll advance to destroy the device, but some of the Two Shackles experts surrounding the Blue Cross Squad will obstruct their path," Alice explained in a hushed tone.

"I see... The Blue Cross Squad's pressure will ease with the arrival of the Aaru warriors, and you'll seize the opportunity to engage the Three Shackles expert ahead," Eilish comprehended Alice's plan.

"Yes... Can you buy me some time?" Alice asked.

"Of course, I can manage for at least ten seconds. My mana is running low, and my natural defenses are shattered," Eilish replied.

"That's enough," Alice affirmed. "I'll create a diversion."

Upon saying those words, Alice brandished her spear, causing the temperature to plummet. A potent blizzard swept across the land, and enormous ice boulders descended from the sky.

Her opponent frowned as he witnessed her use this skill, tightly gripping his sword as flames burst forth, clashing with the blizzard.

Bang!!

The ice boulders melted, giving rise to a veil of steam. From within the steam emerged a figure that launched an attack on the man.

Alice's opponent was taken aback, for the figure wasn't Alice but Eilish.

"I'm your opponent!" Eilish roared as she swung her staff down.

Swoosh!!

On the opposite side of the battlefield, the pressure on the Blue Cross Squad had significantly diminished. The several Two Shackles experts who had been attacking their barrier were now gone. However, a greater threat had finally arrived in their midst.

It was the Three Shackles expert.

"Go!" Leilus shouted.

Paolo, Drami, and Sekmet promptly ceased providing energy to the barrier. Simultaneously, the Three Shackles expert launched a fierce assault.

Bang!

The attack came too swiftly, and the barrier crumbled without any resistance.

Leilus lunged at the enemy with a determined look on his face. "Go! Scatter!" he commanded.

The Three Shackles expert widened his eyes as he witnessed Drami, Sekmet, and Paolo being propelled in different directions. He quickly grasped their plan.

He seized Leilus' weapon and delivered a powerful blow to his abdomen. Then, he struck him in the face, sending Leilus flying several meters away.

Ugh!

Leilus couldn't even react; he was propelled away in an instant.

Bang!

The Three Shackles expert paid no further attention to Leilus. He turned and pursued the nearest target.

"None of you will escape from this place alive!"

His speed was astonishing. In less than a second, he caught up with Drami.

Drami recognized the imminent danger, but it was already too late. The man had already initiated his attack.

Bang! Bang!

Drami coughed up a mouthful of blood as excruciating pain overwhelmed her body. She felt her bones crack under the relentless assault, with ripples in the air converging toward her.

The man delivered ten strikes in rapid succession before launching her toward the ground.

Boom!!

Drami's body plummeted to the earth like a meteor, creating a substantial crater upon impact.
