Baltimore watched his hand fall to the ground with wide eyes.
Up until now, he had been in denial that he was losing.
However, literally losing a part of himself was the wake up call that shook his core.
Did he truly lose?!
NO!
"ARGH!!!" Baltimore yelled, using his remaining mana to surround himself with small sharp spikes of earth, exploding around him. Because they were at a distance from the other battles, most of the spikes just hit trees. Some of the people hit were his people, though he did hit a few Alterrans who were promptly handled by their teammates.
Those directed to Garan were blocked off by his ice wall, which slid back straight to him with a wave of Garan’s bloodied hands.
Baltimore’s instincts flared and he once again used his ability to escape. He moved backward swiftly, but this time with unpredictable angles. As he did so, he blocked the bleeding with his ability. It was unhygienic and was not of much help, but it was the best he could do.
As he moved, his eyes shifted to the walls which had long calmed down. From the outside, they could see the slaves and men were either taken down or captured.
He had a feeling the people inside had also already been managed, and there was little they could do to turn this war around.
One way was to get the remainder of the population to the array, but considering how his main forces got crushed inside, he doubted there’d be any changes.
Furthermore, looking at these people, they weren’t planning on letting them go!
His eyes studied the surroundings and also saw many of the fights were closing—none of which had his own people as victors!
Even Ero and Seto—
His mind ran as he defended against Garan, who had obviously slowed down his use of elements as well, but was still holding on to the upper hand—particularly because Baltimore only had one left!
He gritted his teeth in anger, but he turned his body, this time no longer intent to go back to the battle with Garan—but far away from him!
When he got back to his territory, he would regroup and report to the Master. This place would then be frought in wars!
’Let’s see how long you will be able to act like this!’
He ran and avoided Garan’s hits, though Baltimore frowned when saw a fight nearby, specifically at the fight nearest the dense forest, and were therefore blocking his path of escape.
Baltimore rushed into a direction so abruptly with his sword, heading straight to the forests behind the battle.
At this time, Eagle was finishing off the final enemy in his area. The soldier looked pitiful and filled with blood and grime, but around him, there was no more Guian standing.
He smiled, feeling the adrenaline slow down, though he still tried not to lower his guard until the war was over.
However, he was human and after undergoing such a hard fight, his whole being was just tired.
He did not expect that during that one second of a breather—
Further, sprinting would disable him from using his elements. Instead, Garan used his ice to create a path for him, though only wide enough to fit his feet, losing mana. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
