A Casual Boy In Another World - Chapter 22 The Warbeast 2
If the Major General who talked to the Legion Commander was specifically can only control the Archer Division then the Legion Commander can command everyone.
When he said fire, everyone that can fire fired including Book and Magic Users. The Book Users were already on standby and already finished their incantations, only waiting for such command.
As the shout of the Legion Commander resounded, flames, rocks, wind, ice, water, many of these elements have a different form, it may be swords, spears, arrows, sphere, or just sharp shapes. Along the tens of thousands of arrows that lifted from the bows for the second round, these forms of elements vigorously rose from the palms of the casters.
From the eyes of many, this was a spectacular sight. More powerful than ever. It covered the sky with an intention of destruction. Different colors followed the black rain of arrows. How could the white tiger defend or avoid this? The range was broader than before but it was still small and focused, making the firepower frightening.
The white tiger who was proud of its strength retreated a step out of fear in front of this massive attack that can devour anything in its path. It was worried about its three cubs. This is the aerial power of a legion. A legion that is only a tiny percentage of the whole power of the Holy Kingdom. The Holy Kingdom that was under the Holy Queen. She had this much power but Cass chose to be mischievous and arrogant, he made this mess. It was the same that he was the one created that power that can kill him.
Every Generals and captain were all dumbfounded, especially the Major General. The Legion Commander strongly stood his point of not hurting this man but he ordered this sort of attack? This is nothing less than pure destruction and madness! The man and the white tiger will surely blow into smithereens.
Brianna looked at what Cass was facing. She had complex emotions but she sure doesn’t want for Cass to get heavily injured or worse, to die. She doesn’t hate this man himself but only hates what he created. Her father was not dead but only in heat of the moment of reuniting after seven years only to find her father in this state made her hateful towards Cass, but after seeing the situation, a thought immediately popped out of her head, ‘My first human companion, what did you do to face such power?’, and, ‘Please survive so that you can make up to me later. I will surely accept your apology!’, she heavily prayed.
However, how can he survive that? Only Brianna knew because Cass was not alone. She already knew the prowess of the white tiger he was riding, because of her master that she witnessed the white tiger’s true power so she was not that anxious.
In front of these destructive light behind the black rain of arrows that was formed by thousands of spells and magic cast by talented Book and Magic users, the white tiger had a face of scorn. She desperately escaped before because she expected that these hundred thousand soldiers that one of them was an exceptional being that could bring them harm but now seeing this frightful attack, she no longer needed to escape but to counterattack and then retreat. That was what in her head.
Just a few meters away from them. The roaring sounds that came from the spells that can annihilate everything on its path were about to collide. The white tiger stayed still in mid-air and floated. She did not jump and gained momentum to looked like she can fly but in actuality, she can fly and float still like that with ease.
Although this sort of power scared her a bit because she was carrying her children, it was not enough to make her surrender. The white tiger opened her mouth wide open and an orb of light formed out of nothing in the middle of her mouth. This orb of light was filled with dense energy. It looked unstable and sometimes, it acted like a star which in comparison, the orb of light was static. It became bigger and bigger in a matter of split seconds until, Phew!!**, a sharp sound akin to a laser that beamed from her mouth but was heavier and more destructive. A huge mass of light traveled in its actual speed, the speed of light. Akin to a laser that was switched on and then instantaneously off, the laser beam vanished, leaving a huge hole on the frightening attack of combined black rain if arrows and rainbow color which can cause an explosion and reduce this part of the forest into nothing but ashes.
The laser beam traveled in the speed of light since it is fact a light that was infused with destructive energy, becoming an unstoppable laser. It was nowhere to be seen. It must have flown past the sky and will hit any star and make destruction there. However, the truth was that it only reached the range of a hundred meter. and then vanished into a simple light and then scattering into space.
The white tiger stayed still and they passed the hole of the frightening attack.
For a few seconds, Cass looked around and was surrounded by darkness. It was the second round of the arrow rain and the next moment, for only a second or less, their surrounding was filled with traversing light that was filled with colors. Cass shivered at this sight but was filled with awe.
The hundred thousand soldiers were shocked for another reason. The orb of light only formed inside the white tiger’s mouth for a split second so nobody noticed this. They only saw that right before the frightening attack, a shot of light beam appeared and disappeared for a matter of a second but immediately destroyed the attack.
Their hearts palpitated. Memories filled their head as they saw their mother or father or any one of their childhood that was reading them a story. It was a story about the four legendary beasts. For them, it was only a fiction and created by the imaginations of the writers. They are only a legend and nobody can prove them. However, nobody can prove that they do not exist either.
The story goes about the war centuries ago and how they were dependent on these four beasts. The Westside had a unique warbeast of a dragon that looked like a snake, it can burn any city to ashes overnight as if it had a volcano and infinite firepower inside its mouth. The Eastside had an elephant, this elephant was so big that it can reach the sky with its trunk. While crouching, it looked like a huge mountain. When it moved, the earth caved and shook while it left destruction as its traces. The Southside had a fish that swam inside the earth, its jaw can crush anything as if it was absolute. Everyone thought of it as a shark. Nobody knows how it will appear and disappear inside and outside the earth. Although it was not as big as the elephant, it was big enough to eat an entire village with a single crunch. Lastly, the Northside had a tiger. Like the dragon, it can freely move through the air. Its casual roars were deafening. It was ethereal, some say it came from the heavens but was punished to live on the earth with the mortals. The most unique aspect of this tiger was that it can manipulate Heavenly Energy and turn it into power. It was also called the Ethereal Tiger.
It was only in the books, right? Nothing more than a made-up legend. Or if not, that was recorded centuries ago, they should be long extinct, right?
Even the Legion Commander tried to calm himself down. After a thought, he shouted in confidence, “Do not fear! If it was the Legendary Beast, the Ethereal Tiger then we couldn’t have been thinking right now and was already turned into nothing! That may only be a poor descendant of the Legendary Warbeast, holding a tiny of its bloodline!”
‘That’s right’, everyone calmed themselves.
The four legendary warbeasts were only used when they are tamed by legendary tamers. Although that was only in a book, this legendary tamer are said to have the power of the gods that made these legendary beasts submit to them. If this was the Legendary Beast, Ethereal Tiger, then how could a measly guard tame it?
The soldiers formed their confidence again. If that the legendary beast was the white tiger, she shouldn’t be escaping this legendary tampered slaughter have the moment.
But even so, after seeing that kind of attack that looked like it can only be made from Heavenly Energy, they still couldn’t calm themselves completely.
