Chapter 112
The guardian and the mutated humans quickly engaged with each other, the mutant driven by their primal instinct and rage of being blocked from completing their mission got back into their hunched position and lunged forward with unearthly speed which Ikem still found weird, as the from the lifeforce of this mutants they should be able to generate such power or speed. "where is the power coming from?" Ikem thought to himself as he watched.
The soldier being lunged at, did panic as the sword he was holding took ablaze, ducking the elongated limbs that came after the lunge while at the same time attacking with the attempt of cutting the mutant in half.
As soon as the sword met the mutant body, rune-like marking appeared on its skin causing the fire on the sword to snuff out but the blade still went through before being stopped.
The apeling soldier frowned under his helmet, not expecting the reaction but he took notice of cut he made, quickly yelling out " They may have some resistance to our elemental weapons"
Saying that, the soldier sent mana into the sword this time it didn’t go ablaze but instead its edges took a sharp look like heated iron.
The mutant was about to rush back to the guard but the soldier unlike before also went forward to meet causing them to meet halfway as the soldier swapped away the claw strike heading for his helm while at the same time a quick downward strike which immediately divided the mutant in half.
The same thing happened with the other soldiers as they quickly took care of their mutant, the last mutant left was quickly ordered by Osita to move back towards him.
Meanwhile Ikem who has been watching the whole thing, saw what was about as he spoke out to the guards, "Get in back quickly and leave this one alive"
The soldiers down at the settlement heard the voice in their ear, they quickly took action and rushed towards the escaping mutant. One of the Soldiers got close enough and got into position while throwing the spear he had in his hand.
