Coiling Dragon: Age Of War

Leaving Charles to Ur, Abrax moved away from the duo to avoid damage to his toys.

Abrax had mixed with his Grinder Worm called Mott, just like Ur had combined with his Wasp H. This was weaker than fighting with their bodies while using the monsters, but it was only method at the moment.

It was the only method because they might get killed if they fought directly. It was a huge risk fighting someone backed by an immortal.

Regardless, Mott was strong enough to fight everyone present on the battlefield.

The huge body moved deeper into the forest towards the river while being visible. The huge body left a visible trail of destruction as it moved.

Noah and the others didn't know what Abrax was thinking, but they took the chance to attack.

Noah commanded his warriors to attack with everything they had, since they couldn't hold back against such a beast.

With his large blade, Noah unleashed a slash attack using the fire lion Ki. It contained twenty percent of his energy. It was the energy style that all warriors under Charles knew so it was best for group tactics, since the members could combine the attacks.

The attack was an indicator for others, as they aimed for the same place.

Maya specialized with the bow so she took aimed and shot a charged shot.

With Noah's attack taking the lead, the energies combined together to form a huge majestic lion that crashed into Abrax.

Abrax had been taking them lightly and didn't expect group tactics from villagers.

Other than not being vigilant towards them, Abrax didn't expect their attacks to harm him.

The boost from the blessing was tremendous. It didn't just boost the stats, as it also boosted the level of the skills.

Even if the user was an amateur at the skill, during the current battle they had all been boosted to master level.

Furthermore, it was a group attack. Twenty five warriors had attacked Abrax, and all of them had their attack boosted.

The moment of inattention caused Abrax to get heavily damaged on the area of impact. The lion crashed into his back, near the head and forced him to smash in to the ground.

Huge parts of his flesh were incinerated, but closed up due to the heat.

Abrax screamed due to the sudden pain, causing tremors all around and shockwaves.

Nonetheless, he didn't go on a mindless rage fest and healed his body after letting out the scream. .

He was definitely angered by the move and decided to make them suffer for it.

His body healed completely and Earth armor covered him up for further protection. He moved forward while releasing a small move to keep his foes on their toes.

Noah and the group were surprised at the attack themselves. It brought them great joy and showed them the wonder of the immortals.

They understood the blessing and were overjoyed as they wouldn't just win the battle, but would also get benefits beyond it.

Their understanding of their skills would increase and their bodies would have lasting effect.

The giant Leo had burned everything within their vicinity and the tremors had caused further damage.

The displaced earth rose up into the air and shot towards the group like machine gun fire. The ground was shaped into sharp spikes and shot at them with speeds hitting Mach 30.

The protection brushed of the move and allowed the group to pass through safely.

Regardless, it did push them back with each impact.

Their belief in Athena increasing, the group charged towards Abrax with overpowering spirit.

Abrax arrived at the river and turned towards his enemies while creating a dome around them.

Earth rose up and turned into huge walls that blocked their retreat.

He wasn't surprised by the protection but it had made him change plans. He couldn't kill them, and he was reminded of that clearly.

Abrax felt the group surround him from all sides and unleash a net of energy to trap him.

It was a typical response to a large beast and Abrax would have easily brushed it off, but he was forced into a struggle.

Using his earth energy, he fought against the net while causing a tremor.

The earthquake made the warriors lose their balance and allowed Abrax freedom to attack.

The land under the warriors sent them flying into the sky while Abrax shot them with metallic spikes from his body.

None of them were able to react to the attack, buy none were really injured by the move.

Abrax watched as they fell from the sky and was about to follow up with a stronger move, when the wall was damaged from one side.

It was Charles flame wave that crashed into the wall and destroyed it.

Following that he was hit by the pull from the flame tornado and was forced to resist. It distracted him while Edward finally met up with Noah.

The earth dome had separated them. Seeing Charles confident moves, Edward chose to support Noah's group.

Taking lead of the group, Edward used the berserker ability. It wasn't as potent as Charles but it gave a boost in power.

Using the distraction from the cyclone, Edward commanded the group of fifty warriors to sync.

He brought down his axe for a flame slash and the sync affect unleashed an overwhelming power.

It completely covered up Abrax as Edward was unable to fully control the power into a focused move.

The attack destroyed his armor, that was all and he dove into the earth.

Diving into the earth, the group found themselves sinking into the earth as the ground turned to quicksand.

The battle was done and all the warriors were trapped.

All their efforts were futile, but so were the enemy's attempts to damage them.

Abrax suddenly heard a warning and tried to escape but, Charles dove into the earth.

Abrax swam under the earth naturally because of his innate abilities, while Charles was like the Terminator and within a single charge it was over.

Abrax was unlucky unlike his friend and his Grinder Worm was destroyed by the Charles relentless attack, which made a huge crater under the forest.

The powerful regeneration ability of the worm was unable to keep up and Abrax woke up in his real body.

While all that was going on, Mars had escaped the region and come across Duke. Duke was Jack's son and a hybrid beast, jaguar and bear.

Seeing Duke chilling in the river stopped Mars in his steps. The beast was a Shadow Hybrid with best of both worlds.

He decided to take it with him and utilized his mind abilities that could control monsters, even other humans.

But, it didn't work. Just like the warriors, Duke was part of the hero group and got the protection.

Seeing it fail, Mars summoned his partner to take him down so that he could capture it.

Appearing from ring was a group, not a single beast. His only beast at the moment was a Dark Raptor called Jason.

It was 2 meters in height and extremely vicious looking. It was dark in color with an evil presence.

Its skin was like living darkness and moving.

Mars had been training with it for many years before breeding it and starting a hunting squad since the creature was a group Hunter.

The dark raptor was from the primal species that existed and survived to the current age. It was inherently more powerful than the normal type creatures.

Seeing the squad appear, Duke was startled and started running without hesitation.

He moved through the shadows while moving the earth on the other side.

But, the Dark Raptors easily locked onto him and pursued him.

Seeing the creatures negate his shadow ability and bite at his legs, Duke turned towards his safe zone.

He quickly came into the clearing where Richard and Rose were talking about elements.

"Enemies incoming!" Duke shouted as he came to a stop and got ready for battle.

He had felt the increase in power and the protection, so there was no need to escape. Especially, since he wasn't fast enough to outrun the creatures.

With his shout, the duo responded accordingly and looked towards the direction from where he arrived.

The duo had come to know him in the morning. Though, they weren't really close.

Richard stood up from the boulder beside the river and looked at the Dark Raptors appearing in the clearing.

Just from their appearance he could tell that they were extremely fast. Their energy levels were higher, and all of them were foundation level.

Richard and Rose were below that level while Duke was foundation stage.

Five Foundation stage was too much, but they couldn't escape and he didn't want to escape. They were blessed and protected, so their victory was inevitable.

"Rose, take this opportunity to polish your skills. We will not be harmed." Richard muttered with a smile as he equipped his helmet and took hold of his blades.

He didn't equip his shield and took hold of a short sword in the left hand while the long sword was in the right hand. Hearing his words, Rose was reassured of the situation. She had been talking to Richard and taken him as mental support since the fear had been mind breaking.

His words held power on her mind

"Yes!" Rose replied with a smile as she took hold of her blade and looked at Richard's back that gave her a sense of safety and ȧssurance.
