Chapter 286.2: Behemoth Vs The Crimson Crane (Part 2)

The group from the Behemoth Clan had made it clear why they were here. It seemed that news of the Dark Magus being under the Crimson Crane had spread, and although it deterred most clans from attempting to do anything, it hadn't deterred one of the clans.

"We don't know where the Dark Magus is," Tilon answered, and in his head, it was the truth. He really didn't know where the Dark Magus was. He hadn't got an update on the situation back in Repton like Alba had done.

"That doesn't matter," the Behemoth Clan member said. "As I said, we just want to know everything about the Dark Magus, as much as possible. So are you willing to speak up."

Tilon didn't answer, and neither did the other two members behind him. Instead, they gripped onto their weapons, holding them a little tighter.

"I thought that would be your answer, and you know what, I'm somewhat glad!" the long-haired man started.

Immediately, the fifty members or so charged forward, and seeing this, Tilon made the first move. He reacted by digging his shield into the ground and placed both hands on top of it. Powering it with his Qi, a wave of energy let out, pushing the people back. It had stopped them for a moment, and in that moment, both Elvlin and Lilly went for the attack.

Lilly stabbed right through the stomach of one of the warriors and spun her blade, throwing his body off her weapon. His body went flying into the direction of the others, who had decided to avoid and ignore him.

Elvlin was swinging his glaive, revealing large chunks of energy. The members were a little cautious to get close, but some of them had appeared right from above, as they came crashing down. Elvlin lifted the glaive using the handle part to block the hit and then swung the weapon, trying to throw them off.

From the hit alone, he could tell that most of them were high initial stage warriors, close to the peak and close to reaching the middle stage. They were incredibly strong.

"Be careful!" Tilon shouted as he rushed forward, blocking a sword strike with his shield from hitting Lilly. He then pushed the shield forward, and a blast of Qi energy hit the warrior, making him fall to his feet.

"These guys, they are from the Behemoth Clan!" Tilon shouted. "They are the largest clan in the Demonic Faction, and their warriors are no joke either. Due to this, some would say they might even be the strongest clan in the entirety of the Demonic Faction."

This was the level of opponents that they were going against, and they had just been battling against beasts. Although they weren't worn out, they were a bit tired from the fighting.

With how many members were here, and possibly more to come, Tilon was worried, but not just for himself. He was also worried, wondering what was happening with the other Crimson Crane members at the moment.

Alba, along with Cronker and Froma, were engaged in battle against members of the Behemoth Clan as well. They were fighting on the bridge, which was proving difficult in many ways.

Alba dodged a Qi-filled punch, and as she moved, the fist had crashed into the wooden panel underneath her, where she was standing moments before. The panel had completely broken where she was, but quickly she swung her dual swords in an X shape right at the neck, slicing the head off of her opponent.

Meanwhile, Froma was using her bow and arrow and was firing off at those that were coming at them in the distance. She was hitting weapons at the right time, deflecting some of the attacks that were aimed at Alba.

When a couple of those attackers came close and looked to be ready to strike at her with their sword, Cronker seemingly appeared out of nowhere, as if coming from the shadows behind the enemy, slashing their neck and killing them on the spot.

"You guys are annoying," Wild Fang commented, grinding the back of his teeth.

Alba was faring well as she used both of her swords to slash through her multiple opponents rather quickly. She wasn't hesitating with her strikes either. She didn't have much more Qi compared to some of her opponents who were attacking her, but her dual swordsmanship was something people needed to admire. When she started to use some of her skills, she wasn't able to stop until the full formation was complete, and in a way, the situation she was in, where there were multiple people to strike down, was perfect for her. Like a storm, she continued to attack those left and right before they could even react, eventually stopping the crowded warriors who were a little hesitant to go in so brazenly like they had done before.

"Did you think this was going to be a walk in the park?" Alba asked. "Even if you are the Behemoth Clan, you have to remember that we made our name for ourselves as well for a reason.

"And you might be forgetting something!" Alba looked straight ahead, right into Wild Fang's eyes. "I am a clan head as well!"

She sprinted forward, leaving a blazing red line behind her path. The swords were held by her side. The Behemoth Clan attackers tried to go in, but they could feel their bodies being pushed away by the Qi just from her foot technique. She then jumped up in the air, and held both of the blades in her hand and swung them down right on top of Wild Fang.

Immediately, five other members near Wild Fang came to his side, and including himself, all drew out their blades, striking against Alba's. A battle of Qi was starting between the two, waves of power and energy were spreading out, shaking the entire bridge. It was unstable, and the others were unable to strike or attack properly.

In the end, Alba jumped back, and landed on the ground. It looked like they were even, Wild Fang with the help of his five allies.

"Did you forget that I'm not just anyone from the Behemoth Clan?" Wild Fang stated. "I am also a middle-stage warrior."

"Yes, and I see one that needed help from the others as well," Alba commented.

She soon witnessed something that was concerning for her though, and that was what was occurring from behind and on either end of the bridge. More warriors were starting to run toward them.

"Reinforcements," Alba's eyebrows furrowed.

"Haha," Wild Fang laughed. "Ah yes, reinforcements, you will soon realize the reason why we are known as the Behemoth Clan!"

The number of reinforcements was large in size, almost just as large as the number of attackers that were coming towards them. Wild Fang was unaware, but this was set up by Sha Mo, who wouldn't underestimate Alba and the Crimson Crane. He knew what they would need to bring them in.

"Fine, you want to play it like that, then we will just have to do the same!" Alba claimed, as she reached into the pouch around her belt and pulled out three different colored Qi pills.

Seeing her do this, the other two did the same as well.

"Why don't you witness the strength of our newest member, helping us out even when we aren't here!" Alba smiled as she swallowed the green pill marked with DM.
