If there was a satellite view of the current field, it would be a red scourge land with nothing like it's former existing green colour .
Thee most strangest of them all, that's if someone really focused their view.
A beast triangle formation was formed with nothing but Eric as it's only destination, the triangle's sharped head was pointed straight at Eric's location.
No one noticed it or rather no one could fly.
Occupied by the 30 minutes ongoing battle that had no sign of stopping anytime soon, beasts continued their rampage.
Some were already out of stamina while reinforcement from the city joined or either replaced their injured comrades .
Eric was the only one active, brimming with vigor like someone who had taken overdose, earning respectful looks from those around him.
The thought to question the reason for his monstorous strength and stamina, that was unbelievable for his age never for once crossed their minds, too engrossed in the ongoing battle with heroic feelings.
Meanwhile there hadn't been a single Vicious level beast through out the entire the battle, making Eric feel frustrated.
The humans Silver Rank Powerhouse had yet to show up, just like they never existed or maybe they were all waiting for a call to take action.
"Boom!"
"Roarr!" a Vicious Silver Maned Ape suddenly appeared behind the beast flanks, casting it's supremacy , the wild beast around all paused, responding to it's call.
...
"Finally the real deal" Eric thought to his self, but he wasn't gonna rush out to fight, like some hero with twisted personality and righteous indignation to slay evil.
Anyone with sense would know this was just a probbing attack .
The human expert in the shadow grimaced with solemn faces the enemy had finally showed that it wasn't some senseless beast. And the strategy just used now spoke volumes of its intelligence.
"You beast die!" a burly man with a spear taller than his height arrived out of nowhere, as he flung the large spear towards the incoming Ape.
"Clang!" the sound rang through the battlefield, as the brought back it's two hands together and punched out it's chest, revealing the peak vicious level beast aura it kept hidden.
"What?!" this word finally broke through the shocked silent atmosphere as terror shook their hearts.
"Retreat!" "Retreat!" the first mystics that broke out from their daze shouted, awakening their comrades.
But the beasts weren't gonna give them a chance.
"Roar!"
"Dum!" "Dum!"
The earthquake turned real .
Beast more terrifying more terrifying emerged, brutelessly charging through their flanks, having no care of the squashed bugs beneath their feets.
"ROARRRRRR!!!!!"
hearing the extensive roar that seemed to coming for him, his sense for danger tinged with ominous feelings, in warning of the incoming danger that he couldn't escape.
"Stand still!"
"Why are you all afraid of mindless monsters!"
" Have you all forget this is our home ?! "
"Why should we allow Intruders to install fear in us? "
" Sending us fleeing from our home! "
" Some of us here have parents, siblings and friends behind those walls! "
" If we lose or flee, who will protect them?! "
" Or will we still have a purpose if loose everything thing we ought to call home and protect?"
" What is now the need for strength?"
"You are choosen mystics "
" So why cower on the battlefield when you have the strength to fight?!"
" Are you gonna cower in fear ? !"
" Or go through this tribulation with me!"
Hearing this domineering emotional speech that shook their morals, everyone all stopped to consider, they began to nod in affirmation, with eyes filled with determination they turned their retreating backs
...
A grumpy looking man with roughly shaped beards that seem to be made in a hurry, stood at the battle front with a gaint blade half his size on his shoulder, in telling of it's heroic past. He stood like a sore thumb among the retreating scaredy cats.
"Excutioner" someone muttered in a daze looking at the man standing man with babaric aura .
Indeed, there was no other person fit for this definition other than Excutioner, the branch President of Skywalk city Mystic Guild.
A man who rose from nobody to somebody, without the help of any clan or organization, creating a legend only second to "Scarlet Reaper General" throughout the history of Skywalk city.
Other Silver Mystic Rank Powerhouse began to show their self , the retreating crowd gasped in a pause , calling out their names to those who never heard of them.
...
After breaking through to Silver Rank, they would be forced to stop hunting, to prevent killing a Vicious rank beast and starting a Beast Riot .
"ROARRRRRR!"
The beast gave no heed to the humans heroic momment, killing some bronze rank mystic who were too late to react.
Humans were clearly out numbered, but fighting a group of mindless beasts who couldn't think and merely relying on instinct, prove to be no problem apart from their terrifying numbers and strength.
Humans were able to deal more damaged, with cautious thinking and precise strike, dealing critical damage with minimal strength.
Quality over Quantity.
Which made up for their number disadvantage.
But two hands couldn't block 6 limbs.
Bringing back the advantage back to disadvantage.
Including the Silver Rank Mystic.
Some beast slipped through the front barricade, breaking the front defensive line, the battle between Silver Rank mystic and Vicious level beast was too chaotic, having no attention to spare for the newly advanced Vicious beast, there was far more Vicious beast than Silver rank mystics, with each mystic trying their best to hold back at least one or two, buying time for reinforcement from the nearest city.
Excutioner as he was called fought at least 3 Peak Vicious beast on his own, with mid level beasts flanking him from all sides , disrupting his attacks rhythm.
A shocking site to behold, since when did beast stared using formation.
Looking at the annoying flies around him Excutioner grumbled, on a normal day it would be more than easy to slay this peak vicious beast, but thanks to this flies that had been distracting him, he was stuck in a dangerous situation even after killing 4 of them , which greatly reduced their numbers, they weren't scared but instead increase in their passive attacks , fearlessly charging as blood gushed out from the severe injury he gifted them with his blade , including the 3 Peak Vicious Beast who were now on their last breath due to too much blood lust, something that would be an impossible feat for humans to archive after bleeding such amount of blood.
"Time to end this, am done playing" Excutioner muttered as he became more furious in his attacks, holding the large Excutioner blade that looked too light to handle in his hands.
Same scene happened everywhere.....
