Chapter 130: Strength of Prodigies
Chapter 130: Strength of Prodigies
In a relatively distant area of the city, within an alley filled with fresh corpses that were being chewed on by these very same crows, a group of Digitizers was currently fighting a desperate battle against the flock of enemies.
"Argh!" A pitiful wail sounded as one Digitizer was helplessly surrounded by a dozen of these crows; they quickly pierced his body from all directions with their sharp beaks, chewing upon his flesh and organs before leaving nothing behind.
A few others who saw this helplessly fell onto the ground as they cried out in horror.
"Run! Quickly escape!"
"Such devils!"
As many fled, others struggled to release a myriad of skills to combat this horde of enemies. These individuals were typically the strong amongst the weak; they fought with brave spirit, showing that they were not of ordinary standards, be it in shape or mind.
"Furious Shark Blade!" A familiar voice said fiercely.
Instantly, a series of blade energies scattered about the entire area, crashing into the bodies of a few dozens of Man-Eating Crows before they severed them into mangled pieces of flesh.
Following this voice, one would see a muscular looking youth with strange markings over his scaly bluish skin clad in heavy armor. His spikey white hair swung due to his magic power as the bandana around his forehead flapped in the wind.
Currently, he held onto his massive upraised jagged blade, which look like some creatures fang as he smirked revealing his shark teeth and spoke, "Heh, we've only just started, and they sent us these kinds of monsters, truly a brutal dungeon indeed."
Crazy Blade felt a bit excited at the promise of such a challenge. He once more lowered his sword at an angle and jumped from the ground towards the many different crows that swarmed from the sky.
Much like Crazy Blade, characters such as Thunder's Daughter and Bramble Child were similarly taking action within this vicinity.
Thunder's Daughter had sparks of lightning that shrouded her entire body covered by her scanty armor, her blue-skin enveloped by its radiance as her hair, which typically flashed with bolts of lightning, started to glow in bright white light.
Suddenly, she struck one of her palms forward, aiming it towards the seemingly endless flock of Man-Eating Crows as she yelled, "Thunder Crash!"
Instantly, a bright thunderbolt blasted towards the sky, crashing onto the bodies of a few dozen Man-Eating Crows; they then fell towards the ground like burned corpses, adding more to the carnage of this gloomy city.
In another corner, Bramble Child's hooded mage cloak started to flutter as his body glowed with a greenish power. His eyes then shone with green lights as his voice sounded across the area.
"Thorn's Curse..."
In this instance, the vines with spikes that pricked out from his robes' openings scattered towards various areas. They moved faster than any arrow shot from a longbow as they promptly wrapped around many of the Man-Eating Crows and crushed them into bits.
Curiously, if one paid attention to the crows crushed, one would notice that the blood from their bodies seeped into the vines causing them to show an even livelier luster.
The other Digitizers that fought in nearby areas, struggling to best the crows, looked at them as if looking at monsters while others sighed accepting their inferiority.
'These guys, such monsters, I really can't imagine what extent they'll all grow."
"Indeed."
A few others said as they fought their crows one by one and took them out after a little bit of effort, most even bonded together using teamwork to cover their blindsides.
Thunder's Daughter and Bramble Child seemed to have noticed each other, but neither said anything to the other as they shifted their eyes elsewhere.
'Such a sneaky fellow, even now he's still hiding the greater portion of his strength...' Thunder's Daughter thought as she recalled Bramble Child's technique, her eyes narrowing as she made certain mark him for the Gate of Legends.
Bramble Child had a strange flash in his eyes while looking in a particular direction, his thoughts unknown to the world. The battle continued for a good while, but in a nearby area, another familiar voice sounded.
"Sword of Blossoms!"
The delicate voice said as a sea of blossoms scattered about the area; they swept through a bundle of these Man-Eating Crows, cutting them apart into multiple pieces of flesh and organs before gathering around a central figure.
A small but graceful figure stood with a slim sword in her palms, looking very much like a rapier that she held in an upright fashion with her eyes closed.
A few of the other strong Digitizers that held their own looked over at her and nodded with praise as they fought; some even had room to speak to their fellow comrades.
"The Plum Blossom Sword Style of the Balkras Family truly lives up to its fame; I wonder just how far she'll improve it before the Gate of Legends."
"No idea, but one thing is certain; she is not to be underestimated; otherwise, she wouldn't be renowned as the young miss of the Balkras Family."
"Certainly."
A few persons said while they fought a fierce battle, even the overwhelming Crazy Blade, Thunder's Daughter, and Bramble Child couldn't help but give Elly a second look. However, as each had their agendas, they didn't dare to waste any more time here as they promptly pressed onward through the flock of monstrous crows, annihilating each that came in their paths.
Unlike them and everyone else, another famous individual had been observing from a nearby area. A beautiful figure in a red hooded robe that looked at this scene in silence. For some odd reason, the crows that indiscriminately attacked everyone didn't even seem to notice her presence as if she was nothing but air.
Not long after, she shifted her sights towards the palace in the distance before taking a step forward and vanishing.
Elly seemed to have sensed the person's gaze; she opened her eyes and glanced towards her direction, and frowned while thinking, "Red Rain... what's she up to?"
Thinking for a bit, Elly shook her head, no longer paying her any mind as she looked around and chose a random direction forward, beginning her true start of this arduous dungeon's quest.
