Re:Immortal - Chapter 135
On a different side of the battlefield, Lu Lu’s figure could be seen gracefully weaving between the attacks thrown her way, her body seemed to glow with a faint blue glow as a long trail of light connected her with Silas.
He provided her with his support, as he stood a distance away from the fight, his book hovering in front of his face seemed to shine brightly as waves of qi surged out of it.
With Silas’s support, Lu Lu’s battle prowess took a giant leap, the thin swords in her hands moved with undeniable grace as she parried one attack and launched another, two more swords hovered above her head appearing like the scythe of death itself as they constantly hacked at the Immortal venerables around her.
At first, the ‘Hunters’ had managed to push the ‘Hive’ into a defensive state even with their low numbers, their six members were able to deal with the eight ‘Hive’ attackers with relative ease, that is until Lu Lu backed with Silas joined the fray.
Lu Lu moved like an assassin, she did not take any chances and only launched an attack when she was sure it would land, her figure kept flashing all across the battlefield as she provided her support to all fronts.
“Stop the brat first, then we deal with the trash.” Growled one of the glowing figures.
He appeared to be the commander, Lu Lu took mental note of that seeing that the rest of the glowing figure seemed to heed his order, four ‘Hunters’ we’re left to deal with the eight ‘Hive’ members as the commander alongside another glowing figure rushed towards Lu Lu.
Seeing them flying to her head-on, Lu Lu moved nimbly as she effortlessly dodged their assault and was about to provide her support when the commander harrumphed loudly. “Hmph!”
Surprisingly, he seemed to have no intention to follow after her as he continued towards Silas who was hovering in the distance. Seeing the glowing figure flying towards him, Silas’s eyes widened momentarily before he regained his neutral expression.
He calmly flicked his wrist causing a paper to shoot out of the book that was hovering in front of him, the paper then moved to stand between him and the ‘Hunters’ commander.
A giant golden array suddenly appeared in the form of a circle, with the piece of paper in the middle. The array appeared abruptly that the commander had no time to retaliate before he got trapped inside. The circle serving as a prison.
The commander’s body collided with the formation but was sent stumbling backward, he seemed to glance at the piece of paper floating in the middle of the formation before decisively making his move towards it.
Yet as soon as he approached an arrow of divine energy burst out of the paper towards him with unprecedented speed, a white shield hastily materialized itself in the commander’s arms as he used it to block the incoming attack.
As the arrow clashed against the shield, the commander was still sent reeling backward, his arms numb and his mind in chaos as he glanced at the piece of paper fearfully before bringing his gaze towards Silas who did not seem to be concerned by him, his eyes were still on Lu Lu as he focused on providing her with his support.
Seeing at how his opponent seemed to be ridiculing him, the commander was infuriated as he let out an enraged roar, with his shield in hand he once again shot towards the piece of paper at the center of the array prison.
Boom!
Another energy arrow shot forward followed by another explosion that sent the commander stumbling backward, the glowing light surrounding his body seemed to flicker for a second as he grew dimmer than before.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Three consecutive explosions rapidly followed as the commander kept trying to break the array by force, Silas seemed unconcerned, he merely raised his left hand to channel his qi towards the array while his right hand was pointed at Lu Lu who was helping the other ‘Hive’ members keep the ‘Hunters’ at bay.
Yet, even with Sila’s support, Lu Lu was but a single person. Though her presence had boosted the strength of the ‘Hive’ members it was ultimately not enough to save them from casualties.
Two ‘Hive’ members ganged up on one ‘Hunter’ both harmonized with one another to launch a coordinated attack at the same time yet that came at a price, the ‘Hunter’ seeing no way out of the assault disregarded his safety and went for a mutual destruction attack.
His last-ditch of effort ended up taking one ‘Hive’ member with him to the ‘Underworld’ and causing the other to sustain serious wounds. The two bodies of the Celestial entities plunged from the skies and fell down before disappearing below the clouds.
“Tsk, how annoying.” Lu Lu clicked her tongue in annoyance as she deflected an attack coming from her back, before sending one of the two swords hovering above her head downwards at her assailant.
The glowing attacker seemed to have been prepared as he swiftly retreated when he saw the blade coming his way. This was their tactic, with two ‘Hive’ members and one ‘Hunter’ out of the fight, the battlefield was now left with four Immortal venerables at the ‘Hunters’ side not counting the trapped commander, while the ‘Hive’ had six people left not counting Lu Lu and Silas.
Three ‘Hunters’ stood firm against six ‘Hive’ members, their coordination was impeccable as they were shockingly still able to hold their own even with their numbers. One of the ‘Hunters’ however was left to deal with Lu Lu, he only moved when he saw her move, his only purpose was to disturb her assault and prevent her from launching an attack against his companions, he did not fight her head-on, when she was about to retaliate he would swiftly retreat not daring to linger any longer.
“How annoying.” Mumbled Lu Lu under her breath, the glowing figure disturbing her attacks was not strong but he was slippery, he managed to evade her with ease giving her a headache.
‘I wonder how master is doing.’ A thought suddenly made its way to her mind before she cleared her head and focused on the fight in front of her. The hole in the heavens barrier below her was a testimony to how great the battle of God-ranked entities was, she on the other hand should just focus on her own fight.
