The Omnistore System

Chapter 250 Fight

"Damn it, Stuart!" Kevin winced as the lupin's sharp claw grazed against his back, rending through the layers of his armor and skin. Pain seared through him, eliciting a stream of curses directed at Stuart, who was supposed to divert the creature's attention away from him.

In the heat of battle, Kevin and Stuart, deemed the less seasoned fighters among the group, found themselves fighting side by side. However, amidst the chaos, Stuart's focus on dodging the lupin's assaults led to an inadvertent strike on Kevin, resulting in the injury he now bore.

As the lupin lunged again, Stuart, realizing his mistake, swiftly countered with a well-aimed swing of his axe. The weapon found its mark, sinking deep into the lupin's neck, causing it to emit a pained howl that echoed through the tense air.

"Sorry, man... I didn't even know you were there," Stuart apologized in a hurried and remorseful tone. He glanced at Kevin, concern etched across his face, before redirecting his attention back to the lupin, preparing for its retaliation. Kevin gritted his teeth, acknowledging the apology amidst the throbbing pain, knowing that in the chaos of battle, mistakes were inevitable.

His opponent closed in, leaving Kevin with no room for anger over the mistake. With the towering, two-meter-tall monster lunging at him, he gritted his teeth and swiftly defended against its attack using his purple blades. With a surge of strength, he pushed the creature back, determined to prevent another wound from marring his body.

Summoning all his focus and training, Kevin unleashed his signature move, the armor breaker. It wasn't merely intended to rupture armor or penetrate the thick hides of monsters; it was a technique designed to unleash a torrent of attacks and forcefully repel the opponent. With calculated precision, he executed the technique, aiming to drive the creature backward and create an opening for a decisive counterattack.

The armor breaker technique surged forth with a flourish of violet energy, each strike landing with precision and intensity. Kevin relentlessly pressed his advantage, aiming to drive the lupin back and create some space between them.

The lupin, staggered by the onslaught, roared in defiance, its massive form trembling under the force of Kevin's relentless assault. Despite the creature's resilience, Kevin's determination remained unyielding. He continued to press forward, each strike a testament to his resolve and skill.

As he fought, Kevin's mind raced, assessing the situation. The rest of the group was engaged in their own battles, their shouts and clashes blending together in the cacophony of combat. He glimpsed Keyara, rallying the team with unwavering determination, her voice ringing out commands amidst the chaos.

The lupin, though formidable, began to show signs of weariness under Kevin's unrelenting assault. Sensing an opportunity, he pressed on, aiming to exploit any weakness in the creature's defense, his focus unwavering as he sought to turn the tide of the battle in their favor.

Keyara and Robert faced off against the largest of the remaining lupins, their combined efforts aimed at subduing the colossal creature. The group had dwindled down to eleven lupins after Ken and Zaria successfully eliminated one each with their firearms. Now, they found themselves in close proximity to Viana, who was enveloped in a swirling white mist, using her abilities to fend off the attacks of three lupins.

"Damn it! Why are they attacking us?" Zaria grunted, her face contorted with effort as she wielded her sword against the trio of monsters, defending their position. Meanwhile, Ken swiftly took advantage of the openings Zaria created, firing calculated shots with his gun at the lupins.

"Why hesitate now? Weren't you eager to track their pack? They've come to us, let's greet them!" Ken shouted over the din of battle, his face annoyed. He aimed a shot at an already injured lupin, causing it to retreat back into the darkness, seeking refuge from the ongoing onslaught.

Keyara parried a powerful strike from the towering lupin, her focus sharp as she countered, "Keep it together, Zaria! We need to hold this line!"

Zaria grunted in response, her movements swift and calculated as she engaged the lupins. "I'm trying! These creatures are relentless!"

Meanwhile, Robert, his expression intense, launched a flurry of attacks, aiming to weaken the lupin's defenses. "Keyara, we need to take this one down fast!"

Keyara nodded in agreement, her eyes fixed on their target. "Let's finish this!"

Amidst the chaos, Ken strategized as he fired precise shots. "We're thinning their numbers. Keep pushing them back!"

Viana, focused on channeling her powers, spoke with urgency, her voice carrying a serene determination amidst the turmoil. "Almost there! Hold them off a little longer!"

Their words intertwined with the sounds of clashing swords, gunshots, and the lupins' roars, each member of the group synchronizing their efforts in an attempt to repel the relentless assault of the lupins and emerge victorious from the fierce battle.

Keyara and Robert squared off against the largest lupin, their coordinated efforts focused on this formidable adversary. Meanwhile, Ken and Zaria engaged three of the creatures, defending their ground with calculated strikes and precise shots.

Keith and Yelena each faced off against one lupin, while Benny matched their efforts, confronting another lone creature. Arya and her husband, their teamwork seamless and efficient, fought bravely against three lupins. Their combined skills had already inflicted severe injuries on one of the lupins, pushing it to the brink of defeat. Their synchronized attacks and strategic maneuvers set them apart, showcasing an exceptional level of teamwork amidst the chaos of battle.

"We're getting through, Keyara!" Robert shouted over the clamor, his blade clashing against the lupin's defenses.

"Yeah, just a bit more!" Keyara responded, her focus unwavering as she launched a relentless assault.

Robert, armed with a spear, had been momentarily pushed back by the lupin's forceful strike. However, seeing Keyara's swift and precise action, he seized the opportunity to counter.

As Keyara's longsword sliced through the monster's legs, eliciting a deafening roar of agony, she persisted, trying to drive her blade deeper. "Now, attack!" she commanded, her voice filled with unwavering resolve even as the lupin aimed to retaliate.

With determination in his eyes, Robert swiftly regained his footing. With a swift charge and a powerful leap, he lunged towards the monster. "On it!" he exclaimed, his spear poised for a decisive strike.

Leaping with unwavering determination, Robert soared towards the lupin's neck. With precision, he aimed his spear at a vulnerable wound on the creature's neck, driving it downward with a resounding thud. The lupin roared in agony as the spear lodged deep into its flesh, leaving only the handle protruding.

The lupin, furious and intent on dislodging the embedded spear, thrashed wildly, attempting to shake Robert loose. Yet, Robert clung steadfastly to the spear, his grip unyielding against the lupin's violent thrashing.

As the creature fixated on dislodging the spear, Keyara seized the opportunity to strike. With a swift and calculated move, she directed her blade at the already weakened leg, slicing through it with precision. The severed limb gave way, causing the lupin's head to lurch forward with a prolonged, mournful howl.

As the lupin began its descent, Robert seized the moment, maintaining his firm hold on the spear. With calculated precision, he swiftly withdrew the spear from the gaping wound, enlarging it in the process. Keyara, perceptive of the falling monster's trajectory, swiftly leaped back to avoid being caught in its descent.

Refusing to relinquish this critical opportunity, Robert acted decisively. He thrust the spear once more, this time only the blade part, slicing through the lupin's black hide and navigating toward its eye. Pausing for just a moment at the center, he then forcefully pierced it, the blade penetrating the eye socket and delving directly into the creature's brain.

As the spear found its mark, the lupin convulsed in its final moments, its second eye widening in agony before succumbing to the stillness of death.

With the lupin defeated, a momentary calm settled over the battleground. Robert, breathing heavily, turned to Keyara, his expression a mix of exhaustion and relief. "We did it," he uttered, a sense of accomplishment evident in his voice.

Keyara nodded, a brief smile gracing her lips. "Great job, Robert. That was a tough fight."

Their attention swiftly turned to the others engaged in their own battles. Robert rushed to assist Benny, who was grappling with a lupin, while Keyara hurried to aid Keith and Yelena, who were still locked in combat.

Meanwhile, amidst the commotion, Viana's preparations for her impending attack were reaching their conclusion. The swirling mist around her began to coalesce, forming a radiant aura of energy.

As Robert and Keyara assisted their comrades, Viana's concentration heightened. With a composed yet determined expression, she readied herself to unleash her formidable power, her eyes fixed on the remaining lupins. It was evident that her impending attack was set to turn the tide of the battle once more in their favor.

"It's done..." Keyara's voice carried a note of certainty as she raised her arm, her hand extending toward the sky. Her fingers shimmered in the radiant white light emanating from the mist ball, soon transforming into crackling silver lightning that illuminated the dark jungle in a brilliant display.

"Everyone, step back!" Keyara's command echoed amidst the brightness as the luminous ball expanded, reaching nearly a meter in diameter. Soon, it fragmented into ten smaller shimmering orbs, each radiating a potent energy.

As the smaller orbs glowed intensely, Viana's controlled voice cut through the charged atmosphere. "Get ready, everyone! Brace yourselves!"

The team swiftly adhered to her warning, stepping back from the central point of the burgeoning energy. Their faces reflected a mixture of awe and anticipation.
