Chapter 18 Escape! [2]
Whoosh!
Instantly after the 2 arrows left the bow, the 2 targets felt goosebumps.
The time window was too small for them to make any extensive defensive efforts, the Dirt Eater curled himself up in a ball and grabbed with his hands as earth rapidly rose from the ground to form a basic shield round about him.
As for the Blind Bandit, he could only protect his vitals before the arrow slammed into his stomach as blood flowed like rain.
2 grunts reverberated in the battlefield as the 2 Grade E superhumans fell to the side. The Elementalist was able to recover not long later but the Blind Bandit lingered on the ground longer as his 2 contracted beasts went berserk.
Legolas clicked his tongue. "Next time, as a Summoner, never feel too confident to require the protection of your summoned beasts".
"This is the power of an Agent Summoner!"
Legolas spoke in a deep pretentious voice before jumping out of his hiding spot into the battlefield.
Alongside him arrived Predator, the young but huge Nightmare Beast who wanted nothing more than to dine in blood at this moment.
Alongside his contracted beast with his basic alloy sword on his hand, and Lucky safely on his back, Legolas started a massacre through the academy warriors.
Summoners were some of the weakest Grade E superhumans when it came to physical strength, but their strength still dwarfed Grade F superhumans.
Legolas's massacre lasted only an instant as the 2 injured but thoroughly angered Grade E Superhumans rose up again. The Dirt Eater was extremely incensed as his anger now fueled his strength.
Rocks rose from the island as this powerful Elementalist sprinted towards Legolas while flinging massive rocks left and right like they were small stones.
Criminals were crushed to meat paste once they made contact with any of the rocks. The Dirt Eater's rampage was the least of worries though, the Fire Drake Tiger and the Quick-footed Kangaroo already came to avenge their master.
Roaring sounds filled the battlefield as the Fire Drake Tiger did what it was best at, spreading destructive fire even as it pounced and did personal killing.
The Kangaroo was named quick-footed for a reason. Before this Kangaroo, the great Bruce Lee was like a slow poke as it made weird noises while kicking rapidly with its leg. Each kick that connected sent a criminal to the afterworld.
Once the Blind Bandit finally stood up, his eyes were no longer normal, they now glowed a pure red as fire burned in them.
He mounted his Fire Drake Tiger as he glared at Legolas. "Such a young talented Summoner, a pity that you'll have to die to me today".
"Skull, onward!"
The massive Tiger roared before sprinting towards Legolas. Legolas was not scared; he completely ignored the Tiger and continued his massacre. Seconds before the Tiger pounced on him, Predator showed up.
Roar!!!
Both beasts roared at each other before pouncing on each other. Fire, dark energy, claws, teeth, tusks, they all collided in a great struggle of flesh and blood as both beasts bled.
The Fire Drake Tiger was bigger and older, Predator was just 2 years old but having eaten a certain yam already, Predator stood its ground against the Tiger.
The Quick-footed Kangaroo intended to help but a massive White Crane swooped down on it from the skies as another epic battle kickstarted.
The Dirt Eater could no longer do much as the Afro Pugilist already returned to continue their epic showdown. This time, he was not alone, the White Crane also came back to assist the brute.
As the original owner of the Agent subclass that Legolas learned, he already fully mastered and leveled up the subclass, he was no slouch when it came to hand to hand combat and he joined the battle as a pummeling started.
With all the powerhouses now tied down, Legolas was free to prey on the weak academy warriors as his virtual interface kept on lighting up with notifications.

The Experience points kept on dropping like flowing rivers of water.
This was all part of Legolas's masterplan. This present set-up enabled most of the criminals to escape and start mounting the Mountain Toads even as others fought and were sacrificed in the great struggle.
In the end, the renowned Blind Bandit and Dirt Eater could not overpower their opponents. Legolas's early devious attack did them really bad.
After 14 grueling minutes of pure battle filled with blood, all the Grade F academy warriors that were sent by the academies were annihilated.
With them all eliminated, Legolas turned to focus on the Grade E powerhouses. By now, most of their mana was already depleted after such a fierce battle but in terms of mana, Legolas was still fresh and ready to go.
With the evil elementalist stuck in his grey world, mana was not his problem, he had access to unlimited mana and could keep up till forever if possible.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Once he joined the battle, the scales of the battle that were already against the 2 academy Grade E superhumans tipped even more against them.
These 2 renowned Grade E superhumans were pummeled till embarrassment. The Frost Crane and the Afro Pugilists could not believe their eyes that they were actually beating such renowned experts in battle.
When Legolas made the meticulous plan, they thought he was exaggerating at times but when execution time came, everything flowed so smoothly that it was unreal. Their enemies never saw this coming.
Perhaps, to reduce the embarrassment of the defeat, the Blind Bandit and the Dirt Eater kept resisting for an additional 5 minutes before they finally gave up.
Both of them forgot their pride and escaped deep inside the island with their tails behind their legs, the Afro Pugilist laughed his ass out.
"Hahaha, motherf*cking losers! Keep on running crazy ass pussies!"
"Let's go!" Legolas was quick to remind them.
They dared not waste time as they mounted the 3 remaining Mountain Toads that were left exclusively for the 3 of them. With the other criminals already mounted, they finally entered sea as the Mountain Toads started swimming away.
All the criminals were still amazed by the feats achieved by this 15-year-old as they escaped, they kept on looking at him like he was an alien.
Legolas calmly took all their stares without flinching.
20 minutes later when they were already deep inside the sea and far away from the island, he turned to face the Frost Crane and the Afro Pugilist.
"Actually, research says if the armor of Mountain Toads is removed, they can move 2 times faster and can move another 3 times faster if they are stimulated".
"To stimulate them, you have to have good knowledge about them which means that you need to at least be a zoologist".
Legolas gave the both of them the shooting hand sign as he started removing the heavy armor from his Mountain Toad. His hands soon touched some certain spots around the Mountain Toad's body as its eyes shone the next moment.
"Till we meet again brothers".
The Mountain Toad soon sped up and left the others in the dust.
All the criminals looked on in awe, the Frost Crane laughed. "Afro, I think another legend of our planet is about to be born".
"Humph, he needs to beat me first before becoming a legend". The Afro Pugilist snorted as he looked at the disappearing silhouette of the kid Summoner.
…
Back in the Nightmare Beast Island, 2 Grade E superhumans laid on the floor bloodied and exhausted.
The Blind Bandit turned to look at his rival. "I know the Frost Crane and the Afro Pugilist, I have a history with them, they are definitely not this intelligent".
He laughed. "So that means we were schemed and trashed by a kid, hahaha, so f*cking funny".
"He didn't trash me!"
"I know, your bruised face was caused by your babe's butt, hahaha".
"F*ck off!"
The Blind Bandit laughed till his lungs hurt.
"All jokes aside though, we need to escape the island and report this kid to the higherups. He's surely something to floor us so effortlessly".
