Chapter 246: Finish Him!
Chapter 246: Finish Him!
Luo De managed to free one hand and struggled to crawl out of the wall.
The magnificent high tower, covered in cracks, emitted a dazzling light, signaling that Lastiros' magic was entering its final stage.
"Ugh..." Luo De could now feel sharp pains all over his body, and his clothes had started to be eroded by the heat.
While trying to free himself, he urged the Canyon Vanguard to speed up its actions.
Bang! Bang bang!
The Canyon Vanguard's massive pincers smashed into the high tower, causing the cracks to spread even more densely. Luo De finally managed to pull himself free.
Immediately, the magnificent high tower shattered and collapsed, with the huge stone blocks disappearing before they hit the ground.
"Impossible! My Dinger Tower..."
Lastiros' strongest Magic was Forced to Interrupt!
Luo De fell from the air but no longer had any spare magic power to summon the Sharp Beak Bird.
Fortunately, the Canyon Vanguard spread its wings, allowing Luo De to land on the large purple sphere on its back.
In the game, that sphere was considered a 'weak point,' but in this world, it became the 'cockpit.'
When Luo De landed on it, it felt like landing on a soft trampoline, except he didn't bounce up; instead, he slowly sank into it.
In a sense, this place could still be considered a 'weak point,' as eliminating Luo De inside would cause the Vanguard to vanish as well.
After entering the 'cockpit,' the scenery in front of Luo De changed. He could see two large screens directly ahead and many smaller screens around him.
These were the Canyon vanguard's field of vision, similar to the compound eyes of certain insects, allowing it to see a wide range of angles simultaneously.
While its field of vision was slightly inferior to that of the river crab, Luo De increasingly suspected a close relationship between the two.
"You actually cracked my Dinger Tower... my strongest magic, my masterpiece..." Lastiros landed on the ground, the steel spikes around him disappearing.
He seemed somewhat dazed and enraged: "Unforgivable, Unpardonable!"
Luo De didn't have the time to care about his enemy's thoughts. His magic power wouldn't last much longer, and this was his last chance.
So he only said one thing: "Finish Him!!"
The Canyon Vanguard gathered its strength, flapped its wings twice, and shot forward like a purple phantom.
"Don't laugh! Guardian Sacred Beasts!" Four figures appeared in front of Lastiros in an instant.
Before Luo De could even see what those creatures were, they were already sent flying.
The Canyon Vanguard acted like a purple bowling ball, and whether it was four or forty pins, nothing could stop its advance.
"What..."
Lastiros' eyes widened in terror, and he summoned a shield with all his might, though he himself didn't believe it would be of any use.
The Canyon Vanguard mercilessly crashed into Lastiros' body, and Luo De thought he heard bones breaking, though he wasn't sure if it was just his imagination.
However, a large mouthful of blood spewed from Lastiros' mouth, and he flew far away like a rag doll, disappearing into the bushes.
Luo De's magic power was nearly depleted, and the Canyon Vanguard's form gradually became ethereal before vanishing.
Luo De, who had been in the cockpit, fell to the ground.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch..."
It wasn't the fall that hurt; it was the injuries he had sustained earlier, which were far from light.
What Luo De most wanted to do now was to summon Honglan to heal him and... to finish off the enemy.
But he didn't have the strength to do either of those things for the moment.
"Trouble..."
Due to the depletion of his magic power, Luo De felt the other wild monsters returning to the Summoner's Canyon, including those that had followed Alphman.
The worst part was that his field of vision was cut off.
He had just seen Alphman reunite with the siblings the client was looking for, but they seemed to be surrounded.
Luo De sat cross-legged, knowing he needed to recover his magic power as quickly as possible.
...
After separating from Luo De, Alphman rode the river crab into the northern forest.
With the help of the wild monsters, Alphman defeated a squad searching for Mar and Vina, the siblings. Then, using the Shadow Wolf's keen sense of smell, he found their hiding place.
Mar was a robust young man, not much different in build from Alphman. He wore leather armor, a battle skirt, and long boots, draped in a toga. In his left hand, he held a round shield, and in his right, a spear.
Vina was an exceptionally beautiful woman, dressed in a similar style to Mar, but she held a round shield and a longsword in her hands.
Alphman showed them his crest and the letter of commission to gain their trust, then quickly explained the situation to them.
But Mar didn't believe a word of it:
"What kind of joke is this? Everyone in our village can fight, and we have at least three hundred warriors! How could we possibly be defeated!
Father... Father is the strongest warrior of the older generation, he has never lost a battle in his life! Even a High Mage..."
"Here, you should recognize this." Alphman produced a bloodstained piece of cloth.
Though it was somewhat disrespectful, this was a piece of fabric that Rod had specifically cut from the old chieftain Piet's clothing to avoid complications in identifying the siblings.
Mar and Vina were very familiar with the pattern on the cloth; it was a symbol that only the chieftain and the strongest warriors were allowed to use.
"Brother..." Vina covered her mouth, tears welling in her eyes. "It's Father's clothes, he, he's telling the truth..."
"Impossible! I'm going back to the village right now!"
Alphman blocked his path: "We do need to leave here, but we can't go back to the village yet.
The forest is full of enemies, and there are at least some very powerful ones among them. My companion is buying us time, and we need to get to a safe place first."
Mar's face hardened: "Move aside!"
Alphman stood firm: "Piet's last words were for us to find you and help you escape."
Hearing that it was their father's last words, Mar's body trembled, but he clearly didn't want to run away so easily.
"Brother." Vina grabbed Mar's arm, signaling him to calm down.
"Damn it!" Mar thrust his spear into the ground in frustration. "If I hadn't run out on my own, if I had been in the village..."
Alphman didn't have the heart to say that if both siblings had been in the village, they might have all been wiped out.
"There! We found them!"
"But why are there three of them?"
"Regardless, Zankro-sama's order is to capture those two, charge!"
Mar recognized their clothing: "It's them! The strange people who appeared near the village before!"
Vina tightened her grip on her sword and shield, ready for battle.
A few days ago, the siblings had been trying to find these suspicious people, but now they had become the ones being hunted...
"We don't have time, just follow me!" Alphman charged out, shouting, "Partial Reception·Beast Arms! Man up!"
Alphman punched three soldiers holding swords and knives into the air.
A few others raised their wands, but the Sharp Beak Birds had already shot their feathers, knocking them down.
"Wow!" The siblings exclaimed in amazement and joined the fray.
However, more soldiers kept arriving at the sound of the commotion, and the three of them had to fight their way through with the help of the wild monsters.
Suddenly, the wild monsters launched a fierce attack and then vanished one by one.
Alphman's face turned pale: "Oh no, Rod!"
The siblings and Alphman backed up to form a circle, backs against each other.
Vina asked: "What happened to those beasts?"
"They are my companion's magic," Alphman said gravely. "He might be in trouble."
In this situation, either Rod's battle was going poorly, and he needed to summon all the monsters for support, or...
Alphman hoped that Rod had just run out of magic after defeating the enemy, rather than something worse.
Regardless, he needed to get away quickly and go to Rod's aid.
