Cosmic Seal

Chapter 9: Desperate Situation

The ape figure landed in the midst of the beasts with a bang, accompanied by a devastating force, sending several low-level beasts flying.

"Bang!-Bang!!-Bang!!!"

Several banging sounds rang out continuously, and the ground shook as the ape continued to smash the beasts into meat particles.

Alator stood in the distance, watching the whole scene in awe and admiration, almost forgetting he was in a dire circumstance.

Soon the flame surrounding him finally died down. The Steel-Tusk Boar who had been waiting patiently for his meal finally made a move. Looking at the beast, it seemed like it had a smirk on its face. It suddenly made a mad dash towards Alator, planning to ram its tusk into him.

Alator braced himself with the sword in his hand, ready to defend himself.

As the beast was just a few meters away from him.

"Fwup-fwup-fwup!"

The sound of something crashing through the air sounded behind him.

"Bang!"

A broad sword struck the Steel-Tusk Boar, sending it flying into the darkness.

The man earlier landed beside Alator again. It seems he has finished off the Bloodscale Serpent. The man raised his hand towards the direction in which his sword had gone. Within a few seconds, the sword flew back into his hand. There were streams of blood rolling down the broad sword. He turned to face Alator.

"What are you still doing here? Leave now," the man said. Just as Alator took a step forward. He noticed the Steel-Tusk Boar which was struck earlier, madly dashing towards the man from behind with its bloody head.

"Behind you!"

Alator shouted. The man turned, but he was a second late. The Steel-Tusk Boar rammed its tusk through his back. The tip of the tusk emerged out of his stomach and blood rushed out from the hole in the man's belly.

"Splash!"

The man coughed out blood and his eyes went wide in shock. Alator was terrified, he didn't know what to do right now. He was just standing there, staring at the man in horror.

The beast tried to shake the man off its tusk, but the man grabbed the head, refusing to let go. The beast continued to struggle to break free, but the man held it down with his strength.

"Run!"

The man said with difficulty, causing more blood to pour out of his mouth. Alator hesitated for a while before making a dash towards his right. The man smiled with blood still dripping out from the corner of his mouth. As he was still wrestling with the beast, he cast a spell with his index finger and yelled.

"Explode!"

Immediately those words left his mouth, the mana in the surroundings suddenly rushed towards him, accompanied by a loud bang!. Fire exploded in the battlefield, engulfing the man and the Steel-Tusk Boar. The fire didn't just stop there, it swept across the battlefield, incinerating several beasts into ashes.

Regent Arlen noticed the fire exploding in the distance and his face turned ugly. He knew what just happened. Someone has just used the Soul Ruination forbidden spell.

Considering the large scale of the explosion, he was sure this person was a Fire Wielder. However, it's only a Master Tier or a Late Stage Advanced Tier Mage could be able to unleash the spell. With that being the case, he knew he has lost a powerful fighter.

.....

In a far distance, Alator was dashing through the forest with all his might. He crashed against stones and tree branches as his vision blurred in the darkness. He didn't even know where he was heading to. Alator was still tightly holding his sword. After all, that was his only means of defense.

But, unfortunately, he was being chased by a Shadowfur Bear, a Two-star Vicious Beast, and a Silver-Eyed Wolf, a One-star Savage Beast. Honestly, it was even a bit too much for a Dormant like Alator to be chased by a One-star Vicious Beast, not to talk of a Savage Beast. In fact, it was a death sentence.

Alator barreled through the darkness without looking back. Right now, he was just hoping that the beasts won't use their breath attack, only then will he have a chance of survival. But unfortunately, these beasts weren't as kind as Alator wished.

Just then, the two beasts jaws parted. Mana churned in their mouth, and a terrifying pressure descended in the surroundings. Alator felt the hair on his body rise as he caught the sight of the dangerous white and silver light, shining behind him from the corner of his eyes.

"Damnit!"

Alator cursed as the grip on his sword tightened. He knew that once he got hit by that breath attack, it would be all over for him.

Just when the two beasts were about to attack, Alator's eyes widened and he suddenly pulled his brakes. He just realized he was running towards the edge of a cliff and he was just a few steps away from falling off. There was no escape route left.

Using the momentum from his sudden stop. He drifted swiftly around on the slippery ground and finally facing the beasts.

"I'm not going down without a fight!!"

Alator yelled as he threw the sword towards the beasts with all his might. The sword flew through the air and pierced into the mouth of the Shadowfur Bear and emerged from its neck and disrupted the breath attack forming in its mouth.

"Bang!"

Mana exploded in the mouth of the beast, blasting its head into pieces and spraying blood all around.

At the same time, the breath attack from the Silver-Eyed Wolf struck Alator square on the chest. Alator felt all his internal organs shook and the bones in his body cracked. He was sent flying off the cliff with blood bursting out of his mouth, ears, and nose. Alator plummeted down the endless dark abyss and his vision finally turned dark.
