Roar.
Roar. Roar
Seeing the arrival of the fifth level fire tiger, the other remaining beasts gave out a roar one after another so as to welcome their leader. And then they continued their attack on the human cultivators.
“No. No. No. I don’t want to die. I don’t want to die.”
One person muttered to himself while grabbing his hair and showing a sign of craziness on his face.
“Damnit. Keep you shits together.”, said another person as he grab the collar of the crazy person, “Didn’t you hear what the five clans have said? The reinforcements are on the way. So you just have to hold on until then.”
“I know but…but…there is no way we can survive that long before the reinforcements arrive.”, said the crazy person.
The other person became silent on hearing that because what the crazy person had said was the truth. He then let go of the collar and looked at the approaching third level beast towards them and said as he took a stance to fight, “We either die here today or live to tell a tale tomorrow. But if I am going to die at least I will take down as many beast as I can with me.”
The people in the surrounding when they heard it, they all nodded their heads as they came to a decision and they too took a stance with their weapons waiting for the attack of the beast in front of them. As for the person who was acting crazy earlier, he too stood up and went to join the others for the battle.
Roooaaar.
“Attack.”
“Die beast.”
“Just go to hell beast.”
“Motherf**ker. Take this.”
The third level beast had jumped on them but as for them, they responded with a series of attack and also with lots of curses.
°°°°°
Slash. Slash.
Roooaaar
Baaang
A third level beast has knocked away Ren and he fell down crashing on the ground.
“Cough. Cough. Cough.”
“Shit. Boy, are you alright?”, asked the one-armed man as he looked at Ren with concern.
“Cough. Cough. I'm alright.” Saying that, Ren wiped the blood that was coming from his mouth.
“Okay.” The one-armed man turned back to the third level beast who was currently fighting with a group of human cultivators and said, “You stay there. You’re not match for third level beast and much less a second level beast. “
After saying that the one-armed man went on to join the battle to help his fellow humans defeat the beast.
“Cough. Cough. Huff. Huff. Huff”
Ren watched the ongoing battle as he coughed a few blood and breathe heavily. He then tried to stand up but his arms had no more strength to support his body so he just sat on the spot but his hands were tightly holding the two swords and had never letting it go since the start of the battle.
Roooaaar
“Aaaaaahhhh”
Peng. Peng. Peng
Stolen story; please report.
Slash. Slash
Baaang.
Roooaaar
Boooooom. Boooooom
Cries of the dying man and beast, the sounds of the clashes between men and beasts; all kinds of sounds continued to enter the ears of Ren.
ROOOOOOAAAAAR. ROOOOOAAAAAR.
The fifth level fire tiger, that was yet to enter the battle, had jumped over the wall without any difficulties and gave a loud roar. But after that it just stood on the spot and watched the ongoing battle with disdain in its eyes.
Ren watched the fifth level fire tiger that was hundreds of meters away from him with a mixed expression of fear and desperation like the other people present in the battlefield. Then gathering strength on his legs, he slowly stood up.
But then-
“Watch out.”
A frantic voice resounded in his ear.
Startled, Ren turned to where the voice came from and saw the one-armed man not fighting the beast but was desperately running towards him.
Then he saw a movement from the corner of his eyes and absentmindedly turned his head to get a better view.
“Huh.” A sound leaked out from his mouth.
“Noooooo….”, the one-armed man shouted in despair.
Swooosh. Baaang.
Before he even had time to react, a fourth level beast had already hit him with its head and Ren was sent flying while coughing a mouthful of blood and his two swords separated from his hands.
Bang. Bang. Bang.
Screeeeesh
Ren's body, as soon as it touched the ground, bounced like a rubber ball a few times before rolling on the ground and then coming to a stop.
However, the beast didn’t stop from there and ran towards Ren who was lying on the ground covered in blood.
After reaching him, the beast slowed down and then it slowly walked towards him and then its foot landed on the chest of Ren.
Crack. Crack. Crack
Sounds of the ribs breaking was heard but all Ren could do was stare at the beast without struggling and giving out a sound because almost all his bones as well as his neck were broken. And he was already at the border of life and death as blood continued to flow from his ears, eyes, nose and mouth.
From up close, Ren recognized the beast to be fourth level red bull, although he had never seen one before but he saw in a book.
Drip. Drip. Drip
Saliva falls down on Ren's face but he just laid there helplessly and watched as the fourth level red bull opened its mouth. Knowing that he was about to die, he closed his eyes and waited for his death to come.
But then-
Swooosh. Puchi.
At the unexpected sound that came, Ren slowly opened his eyes and saw the fourth level red bull being pierced by a sword on its head.
Tut
The beast then lifelessly fell on top of Ren.
But as for Ren, being already on the verge of death, his vision had slowly started to get blurry but he was still trying to see the face of the one who killed the beast before dying, although the first person that came to his mind was the one-armed man but he quickly rejected it because the one-armed man was not on the level that can kill a fourth level red bull.
Then, he felt someone pulling him out from under the beast and suddenly, a sweet scent entered his nose. Startled, Ren tried to looked at person who was pulling him from behind but to no avail as his neck was already broken and he couldn’t move at all.
As his body was all out from under the beast, the person pulled him no more and walked on to stand besides Ren.
As soon as Ren saw the figure of the person, he widen his eyes in surprise because the person was a girl who had a veil covering her face except her beautiful blue eyes. She must be a very beautiful girl judging from her eyes, Ren thought. But then, his vision started to get more blurry and darker and he slowly closed his eyes.
°°°°°
The girl with a veil stood besides Ren, not knowing what kind of expression she making behind those veil, but her beautiful eyes showed a pity as she looked at him.
“You are…”
A voice suddenly came followed by a haggard one-armed man.
The girl then turned to look at the one-armed man but didn’t say anything.
The one-armed man stood awkwardly for a moment and then he saw the dead body of a fourth level red bull which made him glad but as soon as he saw the motionless body of Ren he felt despair and sad.
“He’s not dead yet.” Said the girl, to which the one-armed man sighed in relief.
The girl spoke again, “But he will soon be. So..” The girl stretched out her hand and the ring on her finger shone briefly and a greenish bottle appeared on her palm. The girl then threw the bottle to the one-armed man who had to quickly let go of his halberd and catch it. The girl then continued, “….feed him that. “
After saying that she left them and rushed towards the desolate beasts.
Watching her leave, the one-armed man quickly went to Ren and as he was about to feed the potion he was surprised as he looked carefully at the potion because the potion was of a higher grade which was rare even in the cities. But then clearing his thought, he quickly fed the potion to Ren.
Just then, loud cheers of the people was heard.
“Reinforcements. The reinforcements has arrived.”
“We are saved.”
“The heaven didn’t abandon us.”
Cries of joy resounded on the battlefield as about a hundreds of strong cultivators arrived and attacked the desolate beasts. These new cultivators were very strong because they were able to kill even a third level beasts one on one.
Seeing the reinforcements arriving, the one-armed man too felt joy and then he looked at Ren and said, “Boy, you are save now.” Then he looked at the night sky and murmured, “See that my brothers, your families are safe now. So, rest in peace."
