Chapter 1260: The Rain Of Arrows
"Help me!" A soldier cried aloud as his legs were severed, oozing out blood as a Yin Beast munched on his severed legs, struggling as the ice around it continued to break off.
Even though it had been trapped, it was a behemoth, reaching a height of 8 meters. It had been alive for a century, its status only inferior to a legendary Yin Beast.
So, even though many soldiers attacked it, they were unable to even scratch it, being killed off in return.
"This Yin Beast is strong. Take care!" A County Arms wielder shouted before taking out a chakram of ice that spun in the air and slammed into the Yin Beast, causing it to reel a little from the attack.
She waved her hand when the chakram spun at frightening speeds, beginning to dig into its body.
"Attack!" Four more County Arms wielders from the same clan appeared, unleashing their respective Moon Chakrams, slamming all of them into the Yin Beast. The frost power they unleashed began to freeze up the Yin Beast, also mending the cracks on the ground.
Boom!
Suddenly, a Yin Beast landed on the ice floor, causing all the ice in a thirty-meter radius to shatter completely. Its body shone with a purple hue that condensed into a pair of arms behind it.
Demon Arms Wielder!
These pair of arms were like whips, slamming everywhere as they packed a punch. As for the Yin Beast, it resembled a rhinoceros but was humanoid in structure. It casually walked while the pair of purple arms on its back continued to attack all enemies and free up the Yin Beasts.
Its eyes then fell on the massive Yin Beast, thinking of freeing it when it noticed the five women that were attacking the eight-meter-tall Yin Beast. The rhinoceros Yin Beast stopped in place and crouched a little before kicking off, sprinting towards the five women, intending to slam them all away.
"Guard!" The leader of their group shouted as all five unleashed their ice chakrams, sending it flying towards the rhinoceros Yin Beast, unleashing frost as they erected a barrier of ice.
They couldn't allow it to reach the eight-meter-tall Yin Beast, for the moment it was freed, the situation on the battlefield would worsen. Even with a simple estimate, it was one of the strongest Yin Beasts.
And with it freed, more and more soldiers would die faster.
"Stop it no matter what!" They brimmed themselves with courage, pouring as much power as they could into their County Arms, causing the ice wall to emanate a gentle moonlight.
Unfortunately, the rhinoceros Yin Beast wrapped itself in purple light as its two purple hands condensed on its head, turning into a massive horn as it slammed into the wall of ice, shattering it, with the momentum sending the pieces flying away everywhere like bombs, erecting countless casualties—mostly human.
The five women were thrown off, coughing out blood as their ribs shattered from the impact. The leader among them had defended against the brunt of the impact, the rebound force causing her to slam into a Yin Beast.
Though, she hadn't even managed to inhale when the respective Yin Beast grabbed hold of her, lifting her up, grinning as it intended to eat her.
"Damn it! No!" The other four women gasped in fear as they watched the Yin Beast open its mouth, about to rip their leader's legs off.
Boom! Crackle!
Suddenly, three feathers rushed into the Yin Beast's mouth, entering its throat before exploding, causing countless arms of lightning to emanate, disorienting it when a bluish figure flashed past, severing its head.
Revealing his wings, the man reoriented himself and flashed behind the captured woman, grabbing hold of her as he retreated. The Yin Beast's headless corpse soon slammed down on the ice.
Gazing at the hero that saved her, the leader was about to thank him when she was shocked, stuttering in response. "F-First Prince?"
"Tend to your injuries first." Saying so, the First Prince placed her on the ground before his figure shot off into the air, arcing towards the rhinoceros Yin Beast as countless feathers swerved from his wings, blasting onto his opponent.
The rhinoceros Yin Beast was unable to even react as it was blasted away, its figure skidding for tens of meters on the ice, causing a lot of Yin Beasts to tumble in the process. The First Prince had sent it flying in such a way, hindering a lot of Yin Beasts while showing off his exceptional powers.
Moreover, the sheer power he exuded had already surpassed an Imperial Meister, immediately attracting countless gazes from his enemies. But unconcerned with them, the First Prince sent a feather flying into the air that exploded, creating a loud boom before the lightning flickered to form the shape of an arrow.
Right at this moment, shadows loomed over the human side as four massive ships arrived. Immediately, the sky darkened as countless arrows, each three meters in length, flew out. They were made from Yin Beasts and hence possessed tremendous might, same for the ballistas that shot them.
Boom! Kaboom!
Thunderous sounds resounded as the massive arrows slammed into the Yin Beasts with tremendous power, causing blood to spurt out. The Yin Beasts died one after another as the humans roared in fighting spirit.
"Lady Chen, please help my Lord." Standing on the deck of one of the ships was the Seventh Prince, sporting a solemn expression as he gazed at the massive greenish cloud at the top of the battlefield. It was where Krune was fighting against two Demons.
"What about protecting these ships?" Chen Xue asked.
"I'll protect them with my life." the Seventh Prince said. "With everyone in the Imperial Family armed with County Arms, we're capable of this. And, even for Lord, fighting against two Demons is impossible, not to mention them being as strong as that Ancient Demon prior to being sealed."
"Alright, take care," Chen Xue said, flapping her wings as she bolted off into the green cloud. Immediately, there was a tinge of blue in the green cloud as the thunderous sounds from it heightened in intensity.
The battle that decided the fate of the war increased in pitch, causing the Seventh Prince to gaze at the scene solemnly before bellowing, "Unleash the second volley. Let's annihilate these monsters!"
