Into The Portal: Monster Invasion

Chapter 126: The Marooner Appears

Monster with its bestial instincts evaded the attack and flew away. It gave Miles a breather. Before he could move the monster was eying him once again. Piero, from the hunting team, arrived and cast an air wall in front of the monsters to disturb his flight path.

Miles felt he was lighter in the next second. Turned to see Lucy was using her power on his body. Miles nodded in gratitude and fell back. He returned to the team of tanks. But all of them were taking steps back and keeping their distance.

Miles's eyes turned sharp as he looked at them. When the monster once again attacked, he ditched the shield to cover his body and ran to the tank team. The shield hit the monster but didnt affect his flight at all. Monster cut the shield in two and chased after Miles.

Attacks were flying from everywhere, but the monster hadnt gotten any injury at all. Only Quinns attacks were enough to threaten it, but he could evade them. Alma was using Ice Blades to slow and hurt the monster, but she wasnt strong enough. Luckily Samuel, with her Lightning Steps, was a great distraction.

He was appearing near the monster before falling back once again. Giving the ranged team time to lock on the monster.

The Bari brothers were supporting the hunting team, conveniently ignoring rest. A few of their spells landed on Miles too, alleviating his injuries while strengthening his punches.

Among them, only Lara was helpless against the monster with her Heat Sense. Her superpower wasnt favorable in direct confrontation. She was using a bow to attack, but her strength wasnt adequate to fire strong attacks.

Quinns hair blew off with the wind, and an endless stream surrounded her graceful body. A sword appeared in her hand, as she moved faster than the wind. Her Superpower was special. Its name was Wind Spirit King. Very much alike to Suchiru Kais ability, she could form anything with the wind. But since she had free reign over her element, it was even harder for her to advance to the next rank, requiring her to change the form of her ability.

Since it was so, she could only try to break her limits. The reason why she couldnt advance despite her age was precisely because of this. She wasn't a weak person, she was as talented as Merlin, but she had a higher requirement before she could break through her limit.

Quinn appeared in front of the monster, and the sword slashed from its head to the ground. Sword was thinner than hair, but when it clashed with the axe in the monster's hand, nothing happened to the sword. Instead, a wind continued its trajectory and hit the monster on the shoulder. A small dent appeared on the monster's godlike body, but that was it.

Other attacks hit the monster but didnt even make a dent in its stone-like body. Arrow after arrow, bullet after bullet fired, but none caused an injury. Miles ran to the tank formation and hid in their ranks. Since they wanted to leave him all alone, he wouldnt mind sacrificing a few of them. They thought they could isolate Miles, but none of them were faster than Miles. Miles was like a fish in the water, swimming in their ranks.

Since the monster lost the easy prey, he turned back at the most threatening pest in the flock. Its malicious eyes locked with Quinns, and both attacked at the same time. Tian Ling didnt dare to play tricks on Quinn as he did to Miles and ordered tanks to protect her.

If Quinn were to leave, they wouldnt be able to hurt the monster at all.

He himself attacked with Dragon Pillars flying all around the monster with Sword of Lights hidden among them. Their joint attack was always spectacular to watch but it was also useless. The stone body didnt have any weakness against their elements, it only pushed the monster from its path but didnt damage its body.

Tanks raised their weapons and shields once again and deflected the monster. The gravity on the battle axe caused many tanks to fall on their knees, but this time none died. Miles also fell back and fished out his bow to attack from distance. Just as he thought he was finally safe, he was pushed from behind by Tian Lings men to the front.

Miles wasnt expecting a friendly fire, so he couldnt control his body and tottered to the front. A man with a shield also pushed his body further. He was like a ball passed from shield to shield.

All looked coincidental, when the shield hit him, the shield holder tripped and he pushed Miles while falling down. So no one could blame them, at least the way they acted.

Miles put the bow back and removed the purple orb and charged it to the lightning sword and kept it in front of him. Tian Ling still had the energy to attack him while the monster was injuring and killing them. Miles was ready to fight anyone who dared to push him any further.

He looked around him and noticed the tank team took a step back once again. He was all alone in front, and a monster was looking at him.

Tian Ling, I swear I will kill all of you if you do something like this once again! Quinn shouted from the back, but it was too late. The monster flew to his side from the sky and attacked him with its axe. Miles kept the sword in front of him, and both weapons clashed. Miles felt warmness in his mouth while flying away. The sword has many cracks on it, Miles felt his arm break from several places, and his inner organs shifted.

He looked back and noticed he was flying towards the edge of the mountain. The split between the two sides of the mountain looked like a gate to hell. The sun wasnt falling there, and it was dark as an endless abyss. Miles's injured body fell to the rift, and the monster turned to the others once again. Didnt bother with the falling human. He would die anyway, it thought.

Why do you blame me? Your man was incompetent, and fell to his death! Tian Ling snickered and ordered an attack once again. Quinn was worried, but couldnt do anything at the moment. Since most of her men were in Tian Lings group, if she were to give up on attacking, Tian Ling and Mihr Orril would alienate them. Then they would be the monsters targets. At least now, they could hide behind a wall of tanks.

Lets kill this piece of shit, and look for Miles later, Quinn ordered and others nodded. Lucy let her powers out, and everyone felt their bodies were lighter. She reduced the gravity affecting them and increased for the monster. But she was too weak to affect the monster.

The, now lighter and faster, hunters attacked from every side, but still couldnt injure the monster. They could only detain it, while Quinn landed a few attacks causing cracks on the godly body. She kept attacking with all her might because she was worried about Miles. She couldnt confront Merlin if anything happened to Miles.

Her powers got stronger over time, and more wind blades hit the monster, but still, it wasnt strong enough to injure the monster grievously. Other attacks also injured monsters when they hit already wounded parts, but not all of them could achieve this.

They fought for more than three hours, and the monster killed more than 20 people. A lucky few escaped death and hid behind the group. Almost everyone used their trump cards, and the monster was washed by the blood. Its nefarious eyes looked at humans with hatred and anger. It roared once again and started to fly away, it was running.

You think you can run away after causing this much damage! Tian Ling shouted and a giant pillar of water formed around his body. A giant sword of light formed in the water, and Quinn used her wind ability to accelerate the column of water.

When the pillar of water arrived at the monster, the latter ignored it. But to its surprise, as soon as it collided with the monster, the water dragon exploded. The explosion was so big, even people on the ground felt the tremor.

The pressure of the water dragon forced the godly body of the monster to the ground. While the explosion caused most of the damage, the light sword pierced its chest. The three strongest on the battlefield combined their powers, and its effect was spectacular. Of course, there was something else hidden in the column.

One-time bomb? You even used that! Mihr Orril looked at Tian Ling weirdly. Why has he gone that far? He wondered. The bomb was 370 Million UN worth.Tian Ling ignored him and looked at the falling monster. One of the wings was nowhere to be seen. Two of the monster's arms were limp

at its side, and its body was injured. People couldnt tell if the monster was still breathing. Tian Ling looked at the monster triumphantly and walked slowly.

You mindless beast! You think you can win against humans with great minds? You are wrong! You can only die! Tian Ling spoke with hatred. He lost too many men and even wasted the bomb he had spent several hundred million on. But at least, he achieved his two goals on this trip. He killed the monster and Miles.

As he was walking towards the monster, he looked at the edge of the mountain. There, something red caught his eyes. The red was moving as fast as lightning while blue currents were dancing on its body. The red shadow arrived at the monster's body and with a wind sword cut opened the monsters brain.

A grey orb with blood on it appeared in the red shadows hand. Before leaving, the red shadow looked at Tian Ling and turned around. Red shadow lifted the monster artifact and started to descend from the steep mountain. It looked like a lightning bolt stepping down the mountain, descending from a steep wall.

Wait! Tian Ling shouted, but the red shadow ignored him. I said wait, The Marooner, wait or I will kill you!

Tian Ling followed the Marooner to the edge of the mountain and saw him entering an ivory car at the base. When Marooner entered, the car moved. It slowed down near the second mountain and turned around the second part. Then the car accelerated afterward and before long, the car couldnt be seen anymore. Tian Ling looked at the car with his fist clenched. But there was nothing he could do. He could only watch from the top of the mountain, as his prize flew away.
