Protagonist?Antagonist? I Reject Both

Chapter 359: 359:Defend The Walls



Avelin, swung his war axe with fierce roarm

Each swing sends a powerful force blast aimed to carve through the monstrous horde. His eyes gleamed with anticipation of the praise that would follow his victory. With each mighty arc of his axe, he watched the monsters split and splatter, expecting their numbers to dwindle.

But as the monsters fell under his assault, something horrifying happened. Instead of shrinking, the creatures seemed to multiply. The slimy masses he had cleaved through began to split and grow and their numbers increased with every strike.

"What the fuck?"

Avelin's face twisted into a mask of disbelief and rage. His eyes widened, and he roared in frustration.

His movements became frantic and a massive war axe was swung with more power than before and each blow accompanied by a thunderous whoosh and a shower of gore.

Despite that his expression cracked under the pressure. "Why aren't you dying?!" he screamed, his voice cracking with desperation.

Each swing of the axe sent shockwaves through the air, creating explosive blasts of energy that resonated through the battlefield.

The powerful blasts started to harm the allies and people around him ran away in fear.

But despite his furious efforts, the monsters continued to multiply, defying his every attempt to stem their numbers.

The ground trembled beneath him as he hacked at the relentless tide with rage and exhaustion.

As Avelin continued his furious assault, Terpas suddenly appeared beside him.

The chaos around them seemed to paise as he made his entrance.

"Tsk...Tsk..."

"What a shit show!"

"Watch and learn, Avelin," Terpas said with a mocking smirk.

Then his voice carried over the roar of battle.

"This is how you kill these bastards, hahaha!" He laughed cruelly, assuming a fighting stance.

Terpas raised his hand, his fingers weaving intricate patterns in the air. Dark energy began to swirl around him, manipulating the blood of the monsters in a grotesque display. He tried to control it, directing the crimson substance with precision in an attempt to obliterate the creatures.

But as he focused on his dark magic, something went awry. The blood of the monsters resisted his control, writhing.

Terpas' expression faltered for a moment as he struggled to bend it to his will.

"Is this all you've got?" Avelin spat, in rage.

"You can't even control the blood of these puny creatures."

Terpas' face twisted in frustration as he failed to manipulate the blood as intended.

Just then he heard whispers of another vampire.

"Master, do these creatures even have blood for you to control."

Terpas almost stumbled hearing this and roared

"Dammit! I'm not here to prove anything to you!" he snapped back. "Just watch and see if I

don't find another way to finish them off."

Following they heard Leon's instructions.

Avelin and Terpas gave one another an weary look and at next second, both them raced to find laser weapons to fight.

....

Leon's expression slowly started turning ugly.

"Are they like undying amoeba?"

"Nah..." Mac shook his head, making Leon frown but his next words choked Leon.

"It's worse than amoeba and single-cellular organisms."

Leon pinched his chin, and a sudden thought came into his mind.

"Have you ever thought of them coming out from mutated amoeba ancestry? After all, they... aren't they quite similar to slime amoebas..*

The thought didn't just come out of nowhere. It may not look like but the information about the pre-evolved description from the bug crawler had struck his mind.

And he had been pondering about it.

Life forms deviated greatly and formed species like this after all every existing mammal and even humans originated from the evolution of single-cell isn't.

"HUH!" Mac squinted his brows at the conjuncture.

"This might be possible but I am the last person to think about this. I came into the army even without finishing school."

"Really?"Leon asked.

"Tough times Leon... Those times were crazy and anyone with the potential to awaken was snatched by the army crazily. I was dragged down from school.I even escaped and hid to

escape alas..."Mac shook his head with a pitiful expression.

Hearing this, Leon lips twitched and he extended his hand to pat Mac but just then..

Leon turned his head and jolted his hand

His long no time seen Exitus onverged into a spear that shot out striking vulgar shitters that slipped past the defense. Piercing it, the spear shot out carrying below the walls, and then simply disappeared leaving the monster to fall down.

Finishing things, Leon turned towards Mac and spoke, "Please continue..."

Blowing off a trail of smoke, Mac looked up into the sky with a nostalgic look.

"I didn't want to go to the army. I was a free-will man and wanted to live freely. My family left me a great sum that won't be finished even if I spend crazily alas I was forcefully shoved into the army and put here in this piece of shit."

"You may wonder why I am acting indifferent like this, in stark contrast to previous times we met but I have seen this scene repeating almost every day for the past 30 or more years. Once, like them, I stood on walls. Earthquake hit, monsters came here and in fear unlike them, I ran away and survived."

"Sometimes I ran, sometimes I hid. And when there was no way I fought to the death. To increase my chances of survival I have stolen weapons, and armor from others who died and

used everything I have to survive till now."

"Not just me...."

Mac wasn't able to finish his speech as a scream broke off the link and as Evan and Mac turned their attention to the source of the sound, they saw Cameron roaring with a maddening glint. Like a madman, Cameron roared furiously, adding eloquent curse words in between.

"Just what fuck are you two doing standing there like that and preaching a fucking nostalgic

tale."

"This...This is fucking deadly war not a history class for god sake."

After hearing his foul speech, Leon turned towards Mac.

"He seems to be quite angry."

"He doesn't curse or use foul words but it seems he is too pissed off by the situation.."Mac

added and then took out a cigar, "Would like a shot.."

"Sorry, I don't smoke."Leon refused with a straight face.

Cameron from afar saw them turning towards him to hear his words and then moved on in the

next second to finish their deep conversation.

His head almost exploded seeing the duo's blatant ignorance.

"FUUUCCCKKK!" Cameron cursed wanting to beat the two.

"Hey!"

Cameron shivered and turned his head towards the cold voice where he saw Seeker eyeing him

coldly.

"Son of bitch...Did you just curse my Lord? Did you just...Never mind. I am gonna rip that fucking head of yours then I will pull out your tongue and slap your with it.."

With an angry roar, Seeker jumped toward Cameron but in mid-flight, she was hit by a slime

body.

Avelin appeared in between glaring at Seeker.

[Stop this nonsense. We don't have time for such petty fights.]

"But he..."

"I said stop.."Avelin power burst out slamming Seeker like a meteorite.

Then he stared at Cameron who stared at him without cowering back.

"Human, don't displease My Liege anymore. I won't always be polite.." Then Avelin went ahead to fight while Cameron slashed at crawling bugs with a snort.

Then as soon as he turned around, his heart skipped a beat.

"KUKKKK!"

Cameron took a step back seeing the sudden appearance of Leon behind him.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Stop screaming like a woman?"Leon snorted, rubbing his chin and then looked below the

walls.

His ghosts Griffin flying down had taken down the monsters but the source was still a

problem.

Leon just stood there folding his arms while the battle went on.

Finally, after four hours, skitters stopped appearing, giving everyone a rest.

As for those remaining masses around, his mother appeared and froze them, breaking them into dust and then all of them were burnt.

The burning method was quite crude. Though it erases the crux but it leaves behind heavy

pollution.

.....

A new day arrived bringing a new dawn.

While soldiers rested, those who knew how to repair them started fixing the broken things.

The broken things were replaced and new ones were made. The repairs were crude but it was

enough.

The cracks in the walls were fixed but it was just a temporary measure.

As troops lined up, Leon stood on the lowest mount wall and planted one of his feet on the

railings of the wall, he looked around.

Cameron and Mac frowned.

They could already feel that something bad was going to happen.

Of course not to them but to the opposite side.

"Are you all good shooters?"Leon asked, eyeing at the soldiers.

"Yes sir!"

The soldiers shouted in confidence.

Leon then pointed toward monsters and asked "Suppose a human jumps down to fight with

the monsters and you are asked to support him by shooting down the monsters around. So can

you do that?"

||

Seeing their silence, Leon's face darkened, "So can you do it or not?"

"We can. It's easy.."

A few of them boasted.

None of them thought much as there was no way such a condition would arrive. Which idiot

would go down there alone?

Alas...

Hearing their reply, Leon's lips widened apart showcasing a crazy smile like that of a drug

addict.

"Remember that cause I will be going there and if if any...If any m*therfucker shot hit me, so

just be prepared for the consequences.."

The words struck like thunder in everyone's ears, freezing their blood.

It took a moment for them to process the thoughts but as they did...

All of them had similar expressions..

That is...

They fucked up and very badly on top of that...
