Chapter 713 We Were Waiting


    ??After Archer''s speech, the soldiers were reinvigorated and held firm against the Ghouls and Ratlings pushing against the shieldwall. As that happened, he saw a red blur as Sera leaped over the soldiers.


    Sera barreled into the creatures and went wild as she tore into them with her ws. With a thud, the Headless Ghouls dropped to the muddy ground. After that, she let out a stream of dragon fire that washed over the Ratlings.


    Archer watched Sera quickly bounce across the battlefield while shing at the enemy with razor-sharp ws and unleashing torrents of fire that turned them to ash. With relentless ferocity, she surged forward, annihting the monsters and alleviating the strain on the shieldwall.


    While watching her, Archer saw arrows streak past him, finding their mark in the heads of two Ghouls. They fell limp just as he noticed Tal covering Sera, her mana arrows sailing precisely over the soldier''s heads and finding their marks in the enemy''s skulls.


    Her arrows descended from the sky, hitting their targets with deadly precision. They pierced the heads of numerous Ghouls and Ratlings, killing them instantly. After firing a wave of projectiles, Tal drew her shortswords and plunged into the melee.


    With finely honed skill and agility, Tal danced between the swinging weapons, effortlessly dodging a shoddy spear aimed her way. Her movements were blurry as she darted through the crowd, her des shing in the dim light.


    Archer admired her power as she carved a path through the enemy ranks. Her sword strokes were skilled. Her des severed heads from necks ruthlessly, causing them to fly in the air, shocking everyone who saw her.


    When Tal passed by, a trail of decapitated creaturesy in her wake, their lifeless bodies crumpling to the ground. She moved like a silver streak, her actions a blur of lethal precision amidst the chaos of battle.


    Tal seeded in diverting attention away from the shieldwall, but shortly afterward, a fresh wave of creatures emerged, prompting her to charge forward once again. As Archer watched, he felt excited to see his girls fighting.


    Archer was about to get involved in the fighting but heard a boomingugh. He looked around to see the Kraken Princess soaring over the soldiers,nding with a resounding crash onto a troll.


    He watched as Kassandra moved like a tempest as she was crushing monsters beneath her before shifting her focus to another enemy. The ck-haired girl surged forward while unleashing a flurry of devastating punches that sent shockwaves rippling through the air.


    With each impact, the creature''s bodies exploded into pieces, scattering debris in all directions. The impact of her strikes reverberated throughout the battlefield, resonating with power.


    Even though the enemies attacked with weapons and ws, they couldn''t harm her tough skin. Kassandra smiled as she easily deflected their attacks. Feeling therge number of enemies approaching, she summoned a huge tentacle.


    It crashed down on the creatures, crushing them, and then swept away the remains with force. During the chaos, a surge of vtile mana surged overhead, crackling with raw power as it was aimed for the horde of monsters.


    With a roar, it crashed into a group of mutant trolls, engulfing them in mes that licked hungrily at their twisted forms, reducing them to ash in moments giving the soldiers time to fight back.


    Archer watched the battle unfold as a group of Drakeguards rushed to the east side of the circle to reinforce the Legionnaires, who were being overwhelmed by the relentless tide of Ghouls.


    The soldiers mmed against the creatures, sending them sprawling back as their allies regrouped. Without hesitation Archer rushed to their aid when he noticed his soldiers were dying to the creatures, he crashed into the monsters, tearing them apart with his ws.


    He threw a few bodies to the side before unleashing a dragon''s breath that incinerated a group of Ratlings, reducing them to ash. After attacking the creatures, he stopped something that made his heart drop as Teu and N flew across the battlefield.


    They were about to crash into a group of soldiers, but Kassandra quickly swooped in and caught them. Shended behind the shieldwall, and Archer hurried toward them. When he reached them, Kassandra gently ced them on the ground.


    As she did that a group of White Dragon Knights rushed to help, surrounding them withrge shields. Archer crouched beside them, beginning the casting of Aurora Healing. The soothing violet light enveloped them, mending any wounds they had sustained.


    Yet N remained unconscious, her breathing shallow andbored. Secondster, Teu stirred and murmured weakly, "Don''t fight them, Arch! They''re too powerful."


    Just as her warning hung in the air, a figure soared overhead. It unleashed a torrent of ck fire that crashed into the ground before sweeping across the battlefield. The fire decimated the creatures and freed up his soldiers, allowing him toe up with a good idea.


    Archer sighed and flew toward the frightened people as they gathered together. He opened a Gate leading to the College Of Magic and started ushering them through it. Once he had done that, he turned to his soldiers and ordered, ''''Surround the portal and make sure everyone escapes before leaving for Draconia!''''


    After speaking, he opened another Gate to his kingdom but didn''t allow anyone to enter until the time was right. The Dragon Legionnaires, Drakesguard, Dragonblood Knights, and every other soldier rushed toward him.


    As the people hurried through the portals, paying no heed to their surroundings as they sought safety, the figure aboveunched several orbs of the same ckfire at a humanoid creature getting close to them.


    Despite the person''s efforts, the new foe skillfully deflected the mes and retaliated with a powerful st of dark magic. To Archer''s dismay, the figure they targeted was Ophelia, who crashed to the ground nearby.


    He was about to rush toward the headmistress but soon noticed Kassandra colliding with her, furtherplicating the situation as she appeared unconscious. Acting quickly, he activated the bracelets and infused them with mana before transferring the girls to the domain.


    After ensuring that all eleven were safe, Archer scanned the chaotic battlefield for Maeve, Eveline, and Aurelia. Spotting them fighting nearby, he activated Blink and instantly appeared behind them.


    Silently, he quickly transported the three to the domain. Just after that, Archer had to deflect a st of dark magic. Straining against the force, he felt it m against the violet shield ring around him, attempting to breach his Anti-Magic skill.


    Ignoring the attack, Archer rushed toward Ophelia, who was recovering from the sudden attack. As he cast Aurora Healing on her, he asked, ''''Where have you been?'''' He continued, ''''I thought you would have shown up during the battle.''''


    The older witch coughed as her violet eyes glowed before replying, ''''We were waiting until the stronger enemies appeared,'''' she spotted something behind them, ''''It looks like they''re here now.''''


    As she spoke, Archer''s senses kicked in, prompting him to cast Cosmic Shield just as a creepy-looking humanoid punched the protective barrier. He grabbed hold of Ophelia as they collided with one of the mana ships, triggering an explosion when the mana engine ignited.


    The engine''s explosion sent the two flying until Ophelia managed to stop them mid-air. The sudden turn of events rattled the two, but that''s when the creature sent several Dark Magic sts at them.


    His shield blocked most of the attacks, but it started to crack. Archer quickly embraced the headmistress as it broke and the beam mmed into him, but thanks to Anti-Magic, he only received physical damage when they crashed into the ground.


    While recovering, Archer''s eyes narrowed as he witnessed a group of Dragon Legionnaires rushing toward the menacing humanoid. The Dragon Captain''s sharp andmanding voice echoed across the battlefield as he shouted, ''Protect the king!''


    The enemy swiftly and terrifyingly dispatched the soldiers one by one as they attempted to attack the creature approaching Archer and Ophelia, who were downed. Their valiant efforts were futile against the unstoppable force before them.


    Archer''s heart sank with each fallen soldier, and his rage surged. He was about to rush at the creature but halted when a mana surge erupted from the nearby ridge and mmed into their new enemy, to no avail.


    Spotting Professor Jade Ashguard unleashing a powerful st of mana at the humanoid, Archer seized the opportunity. The momentary stagger gave Samara and Gianna, the fiercest warriors in the College Of Magic, a chance to lunge forward with swords drawn.


    Despite the strength of their strikes, the unyielding enemy effortlessly parried their assaults with a mere flick of its hand. Undeterred, Samara gritted her teeth and channeled all her strength into her strikes.


    The blonde swordwoman aimed her attacks at the creature''s neck, but it easily dodged with ease. As she was shocked at its reaction, it countered with a powerful blow, sending her backward.


    Seeing her friend in danger, Gianna redoubled her efforts, unleashing a flurry of strikes in rapid session. Despite their power and skill, the humanoid creature gracefully dodged every attack before it moved for thest time and counterattacked, catching them off guard.


    The creepy-looking humanoid punched the two women, sending them flying across the battlefield with crushing blows. As they struggled to regain their footing, the witch''s fury ignited.


    Ophelia charged forward, her magic crackling around her like ck lightning. But another sinister figure emerged from the shadows before she could reach the creature, disrupting her attack and deflecting to the side.


    He watched as the new enemy started attacking the headmistress, who tried to attack the original creature, but the stronger one wanted to fight her. So the two started battling while the one that hurt Kassandra approached him.
