Mountain Base CampThe Beast working together with the Cult members surround Elder Vincent, holding him down until their Monster King come out to help. Vincent on the other hand is making sure to kill all the Cultist who try to rush into the Forest, even if the Three Suns Army is heading over its best to ensure that none of them escape. After all that is the task they were ordered to complete. Using his Great Sword to split everything in his path apart, moving around the camp confusing the enemy while ambushing the fleeing Cultist, this was his strategy as he waited for the army to come.
....
Moving deeper into the Mountain Cave Three Suns and Timothy come into a stop, looking ahead they see a towering Blood Ape ripping the head of a human male before swallowing it. All around the Blood Ape are cages filled with Villagers, seeing people enter the Cave they cry for help alerting the eating giant.
"Save us please!"
"Are we finally going to be set free?"
"Kill that Monster for Mother!!"
Turning his head looking at the two intruders who entered its home Alba Stands up, a Ma.s.sive Blood Ape. Blood red fur black eyes that have a raging fire within them, looks over at the two who have just arrived. A body large enough to be hunched over inside this Mountain Cave Alba laughs at the his enemies.
Alba"s bellowing Voice echo"s throughout the Cave.
"Just the two of you, that is all that has come to face me. I am Alba I rule the entire area around the Mountain, but only two Earth experts have come shame. At least I can eat better quality meat this time, did you know I developed a method to gain power by absorbing the blood of you humans. If only you had come a few years earlier, I have already become a Heaven Realm Monster, why do you think these weak Cultist have been attacking you without worry. It is because I protect them and they provide me with an endless supply of food."
Once a Monster reaches a high enough level of power they can obtain a human form to hid among the humans while they grow stronger and learn human cultivation. This is one of the signs a monster has reached the Heaven Realm.
Blood Mist begins to swirl around Alba as his ma.s.sive form shrinks down into a human. With bright red eyes wearing flaming black pants as his bare chest is a mix of white and red fur.
"Timothy while I fight him you must retreat and warn Vincent, we must call for aid I have never fought against a Heaven realm expert before so this may be my final day in the world."
"We can retreat together Three Suns don"t throw your life away. With these weapons we should be able to reach Vincent the tree of us can surround and kill him. Once we get outside the army and the three of us should be able to suppress him enough for one of us to land a killing blow.
.....
As Three Suns and Timothy run for their lives inside the Mountain outside Vincent also runs into trouble, he is met with a Earth expert of the Cult alongside a Earth level Monster. Blood running down his body he coughs up a mouthful of blood, fighting against their team work nearly cost Elder Vincent his life.
In Black, red trimmed robes the Cultist wields a battle axe that has a vile blood aura, while the monster is a ma.s.sive Dire Wolf with blood in its mouth and a gash on its back from Elder Vincent.
"Did you think we only had one Earth expert here, we have long since surpa.s.sed the power the Empire holds, we also have a Legendary Heaven expert the first in the Blood Sun Continent!!"
Hearing this Vincent has cold sweat all over his body when he recalls that his two allies rushed inside the Cave awhile ago to kill the Earth level Monster King within. "This can"t be are they both dead, are we going to die without saving these Villagers yet again even with these powerful weapons."
Breathing in deep Vincent"s body glows red as he pushes his power to its limit, holding onto his weapon he rushes at the injured Dire Wolf. Hoping that Timothy and Three Suns can escape the Blood Ape and retreat, but to get them both out he has to kill one of the two in front of him now otherwise they will die trying to run from that Heaven level Blood Ape. His Great Sword Burns with his life energy as his brings it down at the Wolfs head, seeing death looming over it the Monster Wolf evades but the open wound on its side cost it the few seconds it would have needed to dodge in time.
As its body slumps to the ground the Dire Wolf dies, its head rolling besides it.
"How dare you, killing my partner only means I will have to work harder to kill you."
Moving in for the kill a silver sword pierced into him from the back, he looked down at the coiling dragon on the sword in disbelief trying to look behind him, his head is sent flying off his shoulders. Vincent looking at his Savior finds it to be the very same person who spared his life G.o.ddess Freya along with G.o.ddess Heather who lead the team who forced the main army to crumble.
Freya moves forward putting her hand into her robe she pulls out a pill then tosses it to Vincent. "We followed behind you three to make sure that you ran into no trouble, but looks like you need a helping hand. Lillie made that pill, she has been studying pill refinement while Samantha studied weapon refinement."
Looking at the medicine pill Vincent"s eyes go wide, never in his life has he seen such a valuable pill before him even from the "gifts" the Emperor used to receive are complete c.r.a.p compared to this one pill. A Tier 5 life saving pill, he swallows the bright green pill still able to smell its fragrance on his hands as he watches his wounds visibly heal before him. Looking at Freya he notices that Heather is no longer standing by her side.
"Were has G.o.ddess Heather gone, also the Monster King has broken through to the Heaven realm using the blood of thousands of Villagers, we have to aid Three Suns and General Timothy!"
Smiling at the worried man Freya points at Heather flying into the Cave. "Let Heather deal with the Monster King. You and I have to finish the enemies out here, rest up for a bit and join me once you recover from shock."
Freya rises into the sky as her sword crackles with the power of lighting, she then swings downward her sword manifesting a thunder storm that seals off the escape of the terrified and fleeing Cultist and Beast.
"No running from me I need you to die!!" Freya rushes into the fleeing crowd as she begins a slaughter. Dancing about as rips apart everything that comes in contact with her blade, seeing no enemy engage her she plants her sword into the ground as it generates a field of lighting around her. She grabs bolts of lighting from the field and launches one after another at the Cultist and Beast leaving charred, hole ridden bodies all across the Camp.
