BXBX NOVEL Chapter 195 Fighting The Invaders (Part 1)
As the button was pushed, a message was sent out throughout the whole world. It informed the world leaders and people in other upper positions around the world of an emergency meeting that was mandatory for every one of them to attend whatever thing they were doing.
This meeting was what signified the start of the Apocalypse.
In front of the commander-general, hundreds of screens appeared and within seconds, the screens were filled with the figures of different world leaders and other important people.
As everyone joined the meeting, the commander-general clasped his hands as he leaned forward and spoke,
"New York City Is Under Attack," he spoke, causing everyone to lose their composures as their faces paled while a strange tension rose in the air.
Meanwhile,
The dean reached Time\'s Square as he saw Ray fighting against three different opponents while a couple of bodies previously lay on the ground. Other than Ray, Aella continued to aim at silhouettes running around the roofs of different buildings.
Glancing besides him, he nodded as Inferno understood what he meant. The fire maniac\'s feet blazed as flames poured out of them. Flying into the air, Inferno started throwing fireballs down at the building.
"Bang!!!"
"Come out you cowards," Inferno roared as he demolished the whole building with the sheer force of his fireballs.
On the other hand, Silent Sword slashed in the air as the silhouettes running on the buildings fell to the ground with their bodies separated into two equal halves.
Seeing her prey fall, Aella smiled as she turned around and looked at Silent Sword. Although she smiled on the outside, her eyes spoke a different matter as they spewed fire in anger.
"Thanks for the help but I had it in control," She spoke.
Silent Sword nodded as he understood her expressions behind the sweet smile and let the young woman handle her prey on her own.
Then, sheathing his sword back into the scabbard, Silent Sword turned to the dean and spoke,
"They would come out soon but that\'s not all of them. I could sense four more presences like theirs in different parts of the city,"
"Yes," The dean nodded and said, "Let\'s divide and take out three more after this one. Let the kids have the last one," The dean said as he signaled Inferno to hurry up.
Inferno understood what the dean meant as he decided to cast an area of effect spell,
Raising his hands, Inferno locked them both and muttered,
[Raging Inferno: HellBlast]
As he cast the spell, the mana in the surroundings trembled as flames were produced everywhere. Slowly, the flames increased to the point that they covered the whole sky.
"Attack" He muttered as the flames rained down on the building and multiple explosions occurred.
"Bang!... Booommm…" the building trembled as the whole building collapsed to the ground.
Ray looked at the building fall to the ground as a couple of hooded figures emerged from the debris.
"Here they come," The dean muttered as he clenched his fist around his scythe. Then, imbuing a small bit of his mana into the scythe; the dean raised it in the air and shouted,
"Spirits Of Oblivion, heed my call and come forth to destroy the enemies of this world,"
As the dean shouted, a thunderous boom was heard as the whole sky shook. The night sky darkened to the point that one couldn\'t see anything and only Inferno\'s blazing body remained the source of light.
"Huh?" the invaders looked around in surprise as they couldn\'t see anything in the darkness that reigned supreme.
"Shwaaa...Shwaaa…" strange howls and cries sounded as different types of shadowy figures emerged from the darkness.
"Kids, go to Inferno," The dean shouted while Inferno landed on the ground and illuminated a small area around him.
Seeing the shadowy figures howling and crying, Ray understood the situation as he cast small fireballs and threw them in the air. Then, controlling his mana; he made the fireballs float in the air.
"Everyone, follow me to Inferno," Ray shouted as he started running towards Inferno.
The others followed him and while Ray ran forward, he kept on illuminating the route by throwing fireballs in the air and maintaining them for a limited time.
As the others crossed the fireballs, the fireballs disappeared. This way, Ray conserved his mana while approaching Inferno.
Within no time, the team reached Inferno. Seeing them, the fire maniac laughed, "Good work kid. Now rest easy, I will illuminate the place,"
"What spell has the dean cast?" Ray asked.
"Something only he knows. All I know is that he has summoned souls from another plane and the souls will feed upon anything in the darkness. That\'s why he asked you all to come here while I illuminate the area to keep the souls at bay," Inferno answered.
Ray nodded and turned his attention to the darkness outside the area illuminated by Inferno. Over there, he could see vague silhouettes constantly wandering from one point to another as they searched for prey to feed on.
On the other hand,
The invaders looked in confusion at what was happening. Seeing the vague figures approach them, they attacked by slashing their swords at the figures.
However, their swords simply went through the figures and they felt as if they had cut air but the next moment, the vague figures lunged at them.
"Arghhhhhh!!!" The one on whom the figures lunged at, screamed in horror as he felt his skin melt.
"What the?" the others looked at their companion screaming in anguish as his body melted in front of them.
"Leader, what should we do?" Turning to their team leader, they asked.
However, as they turned to look at their leader; they saw the man\'s disfigured body fall to the ground. As they all looked at their leader\'s disfigured body, they understood that it was their end, and thus, they resigned to their fate as the souls swallowed them whole.
"Prometheus, why did you use that spell here? You know you can only use this spell once every hour. We could have simply fought against them," Silent Sword asked.
"It wouldn\'t have been of use if I used it later on. You know of the weaknesses of this spell and anyone in the Celestial Realm could easily counter these spells," the dean replied.
"Then what of these people? Didn\'t they have one too?" Silent Sword asked, a bit confused by the dean\'s explanation.
"That\'s the thing. They didn\'t have a Celestial, rather the strongest person here was only in Pseudo-Celestial Realm. That is also why Ray was able to sense him as only a Celestial could sense other Celestials," The dean clarified as he turned to Ray and the others and spoke.
"Ray, take your team and head east. You will find an invading team hidden near the city perimeter. Handle the situation there and hold grind till the reinforcements arrive," The dean ordered.
Ray nodded as he along with his teammates, disappeared into the direction told.
