Chapter 88
88 Facing a Level 4 Wave Beast
The soldiers fired dozens of beams from their Wave Rifles every second, killing more and more Wave Beasts, slowly thinning down the horde.
Those soldiers who followed the Astral Rebirth Path of Power or were strong enough to fight with their own power were in a close-quarter battle against the Wave Beasts that made it to the city’s periphery. Among them was Jamal, who showed impressive battle skills as he shattered the bones of the beasts in front of him.
Soldiers carrying Wave Rifles and the ones battling with their own power helped each other. Those with Wave Rifles decreased the horde, reducing the pressure on Jamal and the others and allowing them to do a better job stopping the horde from advancing further.
Although the collision between the soldiers and the Wave Beasts was impressive, the one that truly drew awe was the clash between the cadets and the horde.
A small group of just ten people advanced deeper and deeper into the horde, leaving a trail of blood and corpses in their path. Most of the beast’s corpses had their heads blew up, holes in their skulls, and their blood frozen.
That group entered so deep into the horde that they were attacked from every direction, but they kept moving forward, and no Wave Beasts could pierce into their formation.
Levi and Cain were like death machines, killing all the Wave Beasts in front of them. The first unleashed an explosion every time his fists or kicks landed, while the second transformed his arms into lightning spears.
Levi sent all the Wave Beasts that faced him flying away with their bodies blown to pieces. As for Cain, he was much more subtle, with his fingers piercing the heads of the beast before scorching their brain with lightning.
The focus in the duo’s eyes reached their zenith, as any failure on their side would mean that the entire battle formation would shatter to pieces.
.....
Beelze and six more cadets stood behind the duo, blasting more and more spells into Wave Beasts attacking from the flanks while also at the same time sending some of those powerful spells to the front of the formation, diminishing the pressure Levi and Cain faced.
