I can evolve everything

Chapter 87 Beast Tide (3)

The flames ignited the thick fur of the monsters, and the apes were engulfed in flames, their entire bodies turning into fireballs.

They rolled around frantically on the snow in agony, trying to extinguish the flames on their bodies, but this only made the oil spread more evenly and their bodies get roasted more evenly.

Next, the ogres also stepped into the first line of defense. Although they were thick-skinned and tough, their instinctive fear in the face of the raging fire made them involuntarily slow their pace.

Faced with this wall of fire, their instincts made them want to retreat, but their companions behind them pushed them through due to inertia.

"Insufficient firepower!"

Thales, standing on high ground, cursed.

He could see clearly that although the monsters in the front row were screaming in agony from the burning flames, these thick-skinned ogres were actually braving the flames and trying to force their way across the barricades.

"These brainless monsters—"

Thales raised the short staff in his hand, his body radiating waves of magical energy.

"Secondary Explosive Fireball".

As soon as he finished speaking, fire elements began to gather at the tip of Thales' staff, and a few seconds later, a dark red fireball slowly took shape.

Thales dared not pause for even a moment, and the fireball shot out swiftly from the tip of his staff, piercing into the densest part of the monster horde.

next second.

A mushroom-shaped burst of flame exploded at the entrance to the first line of defense. Within a ten-meter radius of the blast center, the air was instantly heated to several hundred degrees Celsius, and possibly even reached over a thousand degrees Celsius at the very center.

The two ogres at the core didn't even have time to scream before the snow on their bodies melted instantly, and their flesh and skin were burned to charcoal.

The explosion not only cleared a small area, but also caused a section of snow to collapse on the canyon wall.

The rolling snow and pebbles further confused the monsters on the first line of defense.

"Great!" Hank clenched his fist.

But this is not the end.

These monsters are incredibly resilient.

Although this attack killed or wounded several hundred monsters, the remaining two hundred or so monsters did not scatter. Instead, the smell of blood and pain fueled their even more ferocious nature.

They trampled over the still-burning corpses of their companions, broke through the barricades, and surged into the canyon passage like madmen.

The target is the second line of defense.

The narrow passage is only about 30 meters wide at its widest point, and even narrower at the middle section, where it is only 4 or 5 meters wide.

This is the narrowest point in the entire canyon.

One hundred heavily armored infantrymen were already lined up here. They had driven their tower shields deep into the frozen ground, and supported them with iron spikes from behind.

And at the very front, at that single gap.

Ryan Wilder stood alone.

He did not raise his shield, nor did he tense his body like the other soldiers.

He simply stood sideways, his feet staggered, like an old tree firmly rooted to the ground. The 1.5-meter-long black greatsword was not raised, but hung naturally, its tip trailing behind him.

It appears to be full of flaws, but in reality, it is poised to strike.

"roar!!"

The first ice field ogre to break through the sea of ​​fire has appeared.

Its body was charred black, reeking of roasted meat, and its left eye was burned out, leaving only its right eye constantly looking around. It saw the human blocking its way, a creature that seemed as small as an insect in its eyes.

Without any pause, the ogre raised the leg bone in his hand high and charged forward to smash it down on Renn's head.

Nearly.

Ten meters. Five meters. Three meters.

At that very moment.

Renn moved.

Raine didn't even need to use the Iron Wall Stance for defense; facing the ogre before him, Raine's spine snapped back.

"rise."

He let out a low growl.

The greatsword trailing behind him completed a 180-degree upward slash in that instant.

This was no ordinary sword swing. It was a perfect collision utilizing the full weight of the user's body.

Then, the heavy leg bone that crashed down struck the ogre like a flying dragon in mid-air. The immense recoil nearly shattered the ogre's wrist, and the leg bone flew out of his hand, spinning as it smashed into the nearby rock wall.

But Raine's sword strike did not end.

Using the force of the rebound, the greatsword drew a circle in the air before slashing down.

This time, there were no obstacles.

With its forty-five-pound weight and sharp blade, the ogre didn't even feel itself injured.

Its upper body remained in a charging posture, but a line of blood suddenly appeared from its left shoulder to its right abdomen.

The next second, the huge body split in two and crashed to the ground.

Dark red entrails, along with blood, sprayed onto the snow, sending up plumes of steam.

The battlefield seemed to fall silent at that moment.

The soldiers behind him seemed to be slightly stunned for a moment when they saw this.

Just one sword strike.

That rather massive ice field ogre was sliced ​​open by the knight in front of him like butter.

"Don't just stand there."

Raine flicked the blood off his sword, the sound coming through his helmet.

"Let's continue."

After Raine finished speaking those three words, the monsters behind him finally reacted. They roared even more furiously and surged forward like a tide.

Renn will not wait any longer.

Instead of retreating to the shield wall, he charged forward into the beast tide.

While a two-handed greatsword might seem cumbersome in one-on-one combat, it is undoubtedly the king of the battlefield in group battles in such confined terrain.

Amidst this dense horde of monsters, Raine skillfully avoided his least favorite techniques, focusing solely on wielding his greatsword.

Horizontal sweep, diagonal slash, downward smash, upward flick.

Each strike of the sword carries immense force.

A blizzard ape tried to use its speed to get around to Renn's side and launch a sneak attack, but Renn didn't even turn around. He simply pulled the greatsword he was swinging back.

The counterweight at the end of the sword hilt slammed into the Blizzard ape's forehead. The ape's head instantly caved in, and its brains splattered everywhere.

Immediately afterwards, using the force of the pull back, Ryan spun his body half a circle.

The black blade traced a half-circle around Renn's body.

The three ogres that had just charged forward were cut in half by the black hurricane before they could even see the trajectory of the sword.

Limbs flew everywhere on the battlefield, and blood rained down.

As Renn was bathed in this rain of blood, his blood was boiling and billowing white steam rose from his body, but his mind remained remarkably calm.

In this situation, he doesn't need to think about moves; he only needs to follow his fighting instincts and draw his sword.

Where there is resistance, we will increase our efforts.

Fill in the gaps wherever they are.

"This is the Knight..."

'

The heavy infantrymen assisting in the advance alongside Raine were dumbfounded.

They had expected a tough battle, but now they could simply stand next to the knight and rake in the spoils.

That man single-handedly blocked the gap in the entire canyon!
