How arrogant!!
Victor—along with many others—had been guarding the area where the array was nearest to. They had quite a few level 12s and 13s in their midst, so all hands were needed.
This was why when he saw an emergency flare, he could not go there immediately. This was a similar case with the other soldiers. They separated themselves equidistantly along the wall in hopes of balancing out the defenses as much as possible—knowing that the slightest openings would be taken advantage of.
He hoped that someone would be able to get there on time, but it looked like the enemy was attacking aggressively everywhere that even Mao and the others were preoccupied elsewhere.
Of course, there was also the fact that Daga and the others chose this area specifically because it had relatively weaker guards.
Victor didn't have the time to hesitate. He looked at the guards and the citizens there. "Focus on the leaks! I will deal with these bastards!" he said as if the three men weren't his level or higher, and his hands burst to flames and he launched towards them without fear.
He jumped in the middle of the enemy crowd, immediately bursting into flames. The fire immediately surrounded him and hit the enemies head-on.
"AHHH!"
"Ouch!!"
"Damn!!"
Many of the enemies caught fire and tried to run from him, but it gave an opening for the other locals to attack them instead. Victor also didn't take a break and sent a barrage of attacks to his enemies as well.
The stronger ones immediately tried to compose themselves and focused on defending, but a few of them were still injured in the end. Several were stabbed to death, while Daga had no choice but to step back and cover his back against the wall.
Even Daga's Class D defense equipment was a bit singed. He patted the fire down but he smirked at him, though the redness in his eyes betrayed his annoyance.
"Heh, not bad," the man said. He had a rat's face. If a mouse became human, he'd look like this guy. It also meant his smirk was particularly grating.
"But are you sure you should be giving so much? You're already panting."
Victor frowned, but he held on to his weapon, ignoring the sweat that was dripping down his face, some even to his eyes, making it sting a bit.
The two of them stared at each other with their weapons up, while the rest of the fighters around them stabbed at each other, starting a battle royal with both sides adding forces to take on the other in bulk.
More and more enemies would get inside, while the awakened from their side had no choice but to rain down their elements, hoping their mana and their mana potions would last them the rest of the war.
It was like chaos was piling up, and eventually so would bodies.
"AH!"
Victor's attention was pulled away from Daga as he heard his guards' screams. He saw that some of the stronger aborigines had pushed against a team, about to behead them.
Victor had no choice but to head there and defend, rescuing his guards. Daga—like a rat—immediately dashed forward, his blade parallel to the ground, its tip heading straight to his stomach.
Before he could reach him though, a small boulder of earth flew in his direction.
He cursed as he had to change his direction. However, because the momentum was so strong, he fell out of balance as he did so, falling on his back a few meters away.
Bang!
Further, while the earth didn't even graze him, his eyes widened when he looked up and saw the silhouette of a man with flaming feet appear above him.
"AHHH!" he screamed as he felt the heavy step on his stomach. His eyes twitched in pain, and he immediately threw one of his weapons from his space above him.
He coughed and held his stomach. Fortunately, he was wearing a Class D armor so he didn't sustain much damage.
