Battle Harem of the Heavenly Sword

Chapter 79 Loss And Regret 2



One after another the devoted begged Rilu to begin the assault. After a few moments of contemplation, Rilu raised her scythe and roared.

"PREPARE FOR BATTLE! The manticore does not even have 2% of his HP remaining! We can win this!" The only female among the humans encouraged her forces.

Patches reactivated [Astral Gyve], flapped his wings, and rose to the skies. "Truly unfortunate. But then again what can one expect from the most stubborn race since time memorial? No matter what shape you take or how many times you are reborn. A dragon is a dragon after all."

Ignoring the monster's nonsensical comment Frank encouraged his own forces in an extremely bored voice. "Despite being an [Awakened] he barely has 30,000 GP. With Rilu and Gideon here, we can even the odds."

Rilu then swung her scythe in a wide arc and spoke. "Indeed, If he believed he could win this monster would not have attempted to run away in the first place.

"Think of why we fight, focus on Rhyne-sama! Nothing else matters! Battlestar 1 and 2 shall serve as attackers. Battlestar 3 I want you to be dedicated solely to defense. We will now attack with a three-element bladed shield. We are now subjugating this manticore. UNDERSTOOD?!"

"HOOOOOOHHHH!!!!!!"

The powerful cheers of the devoted echoed in the air. Being reminded of why they fought raised their morale. Rilu then shouted in a loud voice! "GIDEON!"

A gigantic 30-meter Venator fell from the skies as he tried to hack the wings off of Patches. The Manticore suddenly did a barrel roll as he evaded.

Being of similar sizes, Patches needed to take care not to underestimate the Venator. After his attack missed instead of plummeting, Gideon defied gravity and started to gain altitude as he chased after Patches.

When he again got within striking distance, Gideon lunged for Patches' throat intending to impale the beast. The Manticore once again evaded and raised his scorpion tail in return. Spines as large as an average man's legs shot out by the dozens.

However, before they could reach Gideon. A man's voice echoed. "[WIND CURTAIN]!" After which a barrier of wind appeared! The spines failed to penetrate the skill. Not long after, musket rounds assaulted Patches.

Seconds before impact the projectiles exploded in metallic dust and smoke. The wind curtain then transformed into a gale that blew the dust to cover the manticore. Despite being over 100 meters in the air, the coordination of Battlestar 3 left nothing to chance.

Patches looked annoyed at the unknown chemical that enveloped him. Gideon suddenly disappeared from his sight. But before he could do anything about either worry, the manticore felt an extreme weight pull him to the ground. Upon looking down he saw three members of battle star 3 shout skills one after another.

The crusader roared "[DUEL]!" The lightning ripoff from d*mon sl*yer opened his sword and shouted. "RAJIN SWORSMANSHIP - 5th form [MAGNETIC BLADE]". Lastly, the Lion-kin raised his ax as he focused his breathing. "Weapon Skill! [INCREASE GRAVITY 30X]!"

Hiro, who knew a lot of principles of science understood what Battlestar 3 was trying to do. The [Chisel] probably shot balls of metallic powder. Their [Forge] coordinated with the powder to affix the particles to Patches.

By itself the powder did nothing but the crybaby [Hammer] used the principles of electricity to turn his sword into an electromagnet drawing the metal.

Together with the [Sledge]'s weapons skill and the crusader's taunt, Patches won't be able to resist being pulled down. The manticore lived thousands of years, but wouldn't know science as the continent was still semi-medieval.

Thus despite being smarter he still walked into their trap. Even though Patches didn't know electromagnetism, the beast knew being grounded would get him killed.

Patches decided to counterattack with magic spells and started drawing magic circles on his wings. A violet formation appeared on his right while a blue one on the opposite.

But before the spells could finish casting the violet circle suddenly shattered, while the blue one got hit with a bullet and dissipated. Inwardly the monster thought.

'This powder... it hinders spell casting? The ax skill's target is not me but the powder. Most amusing ... Moreover a musketeer specializing in anti-magic, and a mage casting nothing but magic interference. I need to take them out quickly. Still, it is insulting to believe the same tactics would work forever.'

Even while analyzing Patches suddenly dived, appearing in the spot the manticore just left was Gideon in an attack stance that missed. Knowing his sneak attack failed the Venator chased after the manticore as he descended.

"So you made your choice then Venator, I thought you would stand down as you did earlier. Despite standing for truth your way of fighting remains as vile as a scoundrels Gideon. I hated you since the first time I met you."

The efforts of Battlestar 3 prevented Patches from using long-range attacks. He found himself drawn to their [Anvil] with their [Hammer] and [Sledge] beside him.

'If you can neither evade nor defend, then attack!' Patches ignored Gideon and dived faster than sound towards the crusader of star 3.

"[SCALES OF JUSTICE] - MODE JUDGEMENT! I FORBID ANYONE FROM CLIMBING TO THE SKIES!"

Suddenly the manticore's wings broke making him fall like a rock instead of a missile. Rilu didn't escape unscathed and started vomiting blood in terrifying amounts. Yet the young woman wiped her mouth with her hand and ordered her men.

"BATTLESTAR 1 and 2 commence assault! [CHISEL]!"

Like a maestro at a play, the young woman's words directed the men around her in a dance of metal and death. Both the archer and hunter fired arrows toward the manticore's head none stop.

Patches tried to raise himself to lessen the impact from falling, doing left so him vulnerable to the ranged fighters. Even though high STR would grant excessive durability to one's stats, high-level weapons bypassed these standard defenses with enchantments or skills.

Similar to earth, giving bullet-proof vests to the authorities, such an action did not help reduce crime, but it only began the arms race. Instead of making criminals believe their guns are less effective, criminals would instead invest in armor-piercing rounds.

In every world, the race to be the best geared would always exist so long as humans continue to battle. It was no different in Valorious.

Patches' body which could stand incredible punishment from the time of demons now took damage from human weaponry. When his altitude reduced even further to about 50 meters above ground, Rilu made her next instructions.

"[Anvil] 1 and 2 HAMMER FLY!"

The [Anvils] of both teams who were enormous knights in heavy armor, threw the people riding on their weapons! The [Hammers] flew into the air and grabbed onto Patches. Both men stabbed the manticore's body maniacally.
