Not-So an Extra

160  Ch. 160: The Endless [3]

"Haa…"

With a sigh, Adrian began to chant and a magic circle materialized behind him, unleashing a barrage of wind bullets.

The Elementalist Orcs, perceiving the imminent assault, instantly erected multiple transparent barriers above themselves, creating a formidable defense against the impending attacks.

Unfortunately, the barriers were no match for Adrian's magic, causing them to shatter like fragile glass, raining down shards upon the Orcs below and accompanied by a series of explosions.

—Boom! —Boom! —Boom!

A collective wail of agony rose from the Orcs, their cries were muffled by the cloud of dust that enveloped them.

As a presence pricked his senses, Adrian swiftly whirled his body along with his sword.

—Splat!

Green blood spurted in the air as Uxing—the jaguar-like monster's body was cut horizontally and Adrian sidestepped to avoid its lifeless body crashing into him.

"Rooarr!"

Another Uxing hurtled at him, forcing him to duck to dodge and thrust his sword upwards the moment it hovered above him, piercing through the monster's vulnerable underbelly.

Blood rained down upon his body as the creature let out a final whine before crashing into a nearby tree trunk.

When a whizzing sound pricked his ears toward him, Adrian dismissed his earth plate, allowing the wind bullet to pass by him as he descended.

—Boom!

The branch behind him burst into splinters of wood.

Landing gracefully on a sturdy branch, Adrian conjured a volley of wind blades toward the remaining Elementalist Orcs.

"Rooarr!!"

One by one, the Orcs fell, their bodies torn apart by the razor-sharp blades.

Green blood sprayed into the air, creating a gruesome spectacle, while chunks of their flesh littered the ground below.

Adrian sidestepped when a club rushed towards him and immediately rolled sideways as another Uxing lunged at him

Stopped his rolling, Adrian shot an earth spear toward the creature that occupied his previous foothold.

—Splat!

The spear struck true, impaling the monster's body and pinning it to the tree trunk, blood splattering on the branch.

Not allowing Adrian a chance to breathe, he was now forced to jump downward upon sensing numerous bolts darting at him.

—Boom! —Boom! —Boom!

His previous stepping point exploded resembling fireworks, showering him with debris as he landed on the ground.

Undeterred, the Orcs and Uxings fueled by their bloodlust, charged toward him from all directions, and at the same time, the Elementalist Orcs unleashed a relentless barrage of bolts.

With nimble footwork, Adrian deftly zig-zagged, evading the projectiles that whizzed past him.

Numerous small craters formed on the ground, billowing smoke.

As the distance between Adrian and the Orcs grew shorter, the brutes swiftly brandished their clubs.

However, Adrian quickly dropped his body to the ground, skillfully sliding between the legs of one of the Orcs, narrowly escaping the devastating strike.

Arriving behind the group of Orcs, Adrian quickly regained his footing and swung his sword, unleashing a crescent of white light aimed directly at the nape of the Orc's neck.

"Rooarr!!"

Green blood sprayed into the air, mingling with the sounds of a piercing wail that reverberated through the dark forest.

The Orc, dropping its club, flailed its hands towards the back of its head in a futile attempt to staunch the bleeding before eventually crashing down, lifeless and unmoving.

Noticing an imminent rush, Adrian leaped his body sideways and three mini craters formed on the ground before him.

Without wasting a moment, Adrian unleashed a volley of wind bullets, each one finding its mark with deadly accuracy.

The Elementalist Orcs were torn apart, their bodies reduced to minced meat that erupted into the air.

Yet, the onslaught showed no signs of abating.

Adrian jumped to the side, narrowly evading a club that passed by him at a hair's breadth.

With a sense of urgency, he commenced running.

Behind him, a pack of Orcs and Uxings gave chase, their snarls and roars reverberating through the battlefield, fueling his annoyance.

"Tsk. Why there's no end of them?"

If this continued, he wouldn't be able to catch up with his brother.

"Get down!"

As a familiar voice echoed, Adrian swiftly dropped to the ground and rolled forward.

When the whizzing sound passed just above him, he swiftly rose and resumed his sprint.

"Rooarr!!"

The Orcs behind him wailed in agony as chakrams grazed their necks on both sides, sending sprays of green blood into the air.

As Adrian continued his mad dash, a barrage of projectiles rushed towards him from the front.

Reacting swiftly, Adrian created an earth plate and leaped up to evade.

—Splat! —Splat! —Splat!

Green blood spurted forth as the arrows found their mark, causing a collective wail to reverberate through the air.

The Orcs and Uxings were left writhing in pain, their bodies pierced by the volley of arrows.

Seizing the opportunity, Adrian summoned a wall of earth behind the monsters and let it fall to stamp them.

—Boom!

The sickening sound of bones being crushed filled the air, accompanied by the sight of green blood oozing out from beneath the fallen wall, drenching the ground in its grotesque hue.

As the chakrams flew back to their user, Adrian's eyes followed them, and a group of teenagers entered his line of sight.

Rhea deftly caught her weapon and Sylvina immediately waved her hands in his direction.

Nevertheless, upon seeing it, Adrian couldn't help but let out a smile.

assault.

20:30

—Boom! —Boom! —Boom!

Well, teamwork made everything easier, didn't it?

"Good job."

Adrian praised the girls, however, before Rhea and Sylvina could respond, a disgruntled voice pierced the air.

"Why did you do that? I haven't showcased my skill!"

All heads turned towards the source of the voice, revealing a wheat-haired boy with a clear expression of displeasure etched on his face.

Just as Péréz was about to voice his discontent, his head suddenly jerked to the side as a hand appeared and pulled his ear.

"Arg! It's hurt! What are you—"

Péréz shut his mouth tightly upon seeing the owner of the hand and quickly let out a dry laugh.

"Ehehe, brother? What are you doing here?"

"I should be the one asking you that! What are you doing here? It's dangerous!"

Simone exclaimed, his voice mixed with concern and annoyance.

Nevertheless, their brief respite was abruptly shattered as their collective senses heightened, prompting them to scan the surroundings.

"Grr!"

Red eyes that shone brightly in the darkness immediately greeted them, a chilling reminder that the battle was far from over.

With a shared understanding, all of them readied their weapons, preparing themselves for the impending attack.

"Wait, you bastard!"

Nathaniel bellowed as he launched a barrage of crescent lights toward Hector who was running on the forefront.

"Hahaha!"

Nevertheless, the man responded with maniacal laughter while effortlessly evading his relentless assault.

—Boom! —Boom! —Boom!

In a split second, Hector's previous footsteps transformed into sprouts of wood as he swiftly moved away from the branch.

Unfazed, Nathaniel unleashed another volley of attacks, only to have them strike the branch as the man suddenly vanished from his sight.

Sensing a presence behind him, Nathaniel's golden eyes widened in surprise.

Without wasting a moment, Hector, who had appeared out of nowhere, swiftly swung his fist.

—Boom!
