Stronghold In The Apocalypse 117 Battle For The Airdrop 3

"Ahh!"

"Run! Run! Ack~!"

The people at middle of the mob took the massive brunt of the rain of arrows as they slowly fell flat on the ground, some had arrows in their shoulders, legs and torso and there are even more worse results than that as there are even people who immediately died when an arrow struck them in their heads, killing them immediately.

John and his group stood at the other side of the river on top of the river wall along with the other camps while making sure that their distance with each other is just right.

"Tsk~ Idiots!" John said as he clicked his tongue in annoyance.

A minute later, the one sided slaughter was already over.

Multiple corpses was scattered along the ground and their blood dyed the ground in red. Some "lucky" folks still manage to survive with only arrows stuck in their arms, shoulders or legs as they keep groaning on the ground.

"Argh!"

"It hurts!"

"Gotta get away" someone even tried to crawl his way to the opposite direction, sadly his crawl was as slow as a snail when a figure of someone appeared over him.

Twack~

"Argh~!" the man moaned in pain and despair as he got stabbed in the chest, his eyes slowly dimmed as he finally lost his pitiful life.

"Hmmp! I hate cowards and useless men like you" a woman around mid thirties said in disdain before she walked away and headed towards another despairing man as part of the clean up crew.

*****

"Come on, follow me. They shouldn't even think of taking the package all by themselves!" John ordered as he immediately dashed downwards towards where the battle occurred earlier as the people behind followed suit.

The other camp leaders glance towards each other and they immediately came into a silence understanding and also followed John and his group.

John then came into a sudden halt as his feet slid for a few inches forward.

"Lhea!" John immediately called to the beautiful woman.

Lhea already noticed a long time ago so she just smiled and slowly walked towards him while looking at the people behind John with obvious disdain.

The people being looked at didn't anything but their stiff smiling faces with their face twitching from annoyance is terrifying to look at, especially Baldur who got his a*s kick earlier.

"Tsk!" John clicked his tongue as his right hand burst into flames and he swung his arm in front of the women who was just seven meters away from the airdrop.

Boooom~

A powerful explosion like grenade happened as it sent the women within the radius of the blast flying a couple of meters away, leaving them slightly or moderately injured as they moaned on the ground in pain.

"Ack! It burns!"

"Help~!"

'Talk about ruthless!' are the thoughts that crossed the mind of the people who witness the spectacle in front of them as they didn't actually expect John to be more heavy handed towards this also 'ruthless' women.

"W-why you!" Lhea growled in anger and was about to attack John but her mind suddenly became clear headed when she saw a flash of red light in front of her eyes and she immediately bended backwards like a gymnast and she felt like the time around suddenly slowed down as she clearly saw a spear made of fire flew passed her face before disappearing behind her where she immediately heard a woman's wail of pain behind her as she immediately looked back as saw a woman around mid twenties got skewered by the fire spear directly to her chest where her heart is before it dissipated into thin air followed with the death of the woman.

"Bastard! I'll kill you!" Lhea howled in rage and she pulled out the sword behind her back, it was silver white ancient Tang Sword.

The women around her are also full of anger as they brandished their weapons and looked in rage towards John. Lhea's group slowly converged together as all of them are eager to charge and hack these "useless" men to pieces but they remained standby as they waited for their leader's orders.

"[To Arms]!" Lhea raised her sword towards the sky and yelled as the tip of the sword started glowing before it burst into a blinding light and spread towards her people and the women who got swept by the light felt their bodies had gotten lighter and brimming with strength.

"Shit! It's that ability again! She's like a character that came out from a role playing game with an annoying support skill! What an aberrant ability she has! Skilled in archery and also swordsmanship with an unusual ability! A definition of a monster!" someone among the opposite crowd muttered in apprehension and the crowd who heard that person nodded in agreement..

"KIll!" Lhea yelled as she rushed forward.

"Ahhh~!" her people behind her gave issued a war cry as they also rushed forward, following behind Lhea

"Kill or be killed! Listen to my orders! All of you!" John yelled as he stared at the only three remaining leaders left.

Although Baldur and the other two felt unwilling they just nodded in assertion as the word on the street had already spread far and wide about John being the only that could contend against this tyrannical lady.

While Lhea and her people was rushing towards them with a large momentum, John made sure he didn't lose out in showing off his ability.

"Don't think that you're the only one with anomalous ability!" John grinned and he felt excited inside as he's been waiting to use this ability he just recently learned for the first time!

"[Elemental Link]!" John yelled as his body immediately burst into flames and his body slowly but speedily grew larger until he became a five meter tall giant made of flames.

"W-what!? What the heck! W-what!?~"

"H-holy! This absurd! What has the world become!? Harry Potter!? Fairy Tail!?"

"Damn~~!"

The people seeing the enormous fire giant in front of them, they suddenly felt their body and blood trembling in excitement as they all brandished their weapons that even leaders of the other groups was hooked up in the sudden change in their side.

"Ahhhh!" a warcry reverberated throughout the surroundings.

"On me!" John's voice had become so deep that he almost sounds like Smaug in LOTR movie.

Thud~ Thud~ Thud~

John's was so heavy that he left scorching deep footprints on the ground as deep as five inches.

"Ahhh!"

"Hoora!"

The groups continued yelling as they charged towards each other and within moments later, they finally clash.

Lhea jumped onto the air towards John with her sword ready for a piercing strike towards John's head.

John didn't even bother to dodge and just raised his right hand and swung it towards Lhea like he was swatting a fly.

Lhea suddenly frowned in mid-air as she wasn't expecting John's attack would be this fast even when his body already became this enormous. So she immediately changed the position of her sword and positioned it to her side, with the tip of the sword now facing the ground as she prepared to receive the blow but just about the huge fire fist was about to hit her, the sword glowed before suddenly enveloping Lhea, creating some kind of a shield made of light.

Boom!

Lhea's body was immediately sent flying for twenty meters as she tumbled on ground for a couple of meters before finally stopping.

Klang~ Kling~ Klang!

The battlefield didn't stop even when she was sent flying!

It was chaos everywhere with arrows, swords and blood flying everywhere.
