Chapter 183: Against the calamity (2)
"Kill. You. Die."
The voice wasn’t loud yet everyone heard it. Amidst the screeches, cries, and shouts these words induced a cold shiver in every human present, regardless of age or rank.
Hex withstood the pain and budding weakness. The words echoed inside his head. Unlike many who seemed disoriented by the voice, Hex turned immediately toward the gate.
At some point, the hood covering the Calamity’s face dropped to its shoulders, revealing a humanoid face. It didn’t have a wide jaw or emotionless eyes. Its limbs weren’t wildly disproportionate nor was its posture off-putting. If the creature didn’t have dark leathery skin and protruding fangs, Hex would not be able to differentiate it from other humans.
But the fact that the Calamity uttered words while looking at them with a sinister gleam in its eyes, made the people tremble. Fear gripped their hearts and some even fell on their ass. The mere thought of facing an intelligent creature horrified them to the core.
"Let’s kill them quickly!"
Hex’s shout brought the team out of their stunned state. He hurried toward the center, gritting through the prickling pain each step brought. The remaining Disasters were in the middle of the formations, taking turns attacking the various teams.
Althea’s thunderous strikes echoed through the air as she flashed through the Disasters, wounding and retreating as needed. Her battle awareness awed even Refined Knights.
Hex reached her quickly. She didn’t turn but knew about his arrival. She struck her spear at an angle, thrusting the weapon at the Disaster’s side. It evaded but in the direction Hex attacked.
Energy Blast!
Hex unleashed his energy but added the earth element into it. The blast threw the Disaster toward the ground. The sound of bones breaking was faint.
