Chapter 319 Frontal Battle, Debuff Clearing!
Awoooooo!
Before doing anything, hundreds of werewolves raised their snouts, howling to the sky. Their dark blue eyes shined to reflect the rising moon as their pitch-black fur glistened under its light.
'As troubleso as always.'
Unlike the usual werewolves in the legend, moonlight didn't actually have any strengthening effect on these specific werewolves, which was why Leo didn't bother with the timing of his reveal. However, just like every other special monster, they had more than one annoying special ability.
"Can we really beat them all…?"
"Jang Hyung… Why don't we just run?"
Their howl wasn't just an instinctual act, but rather their own thod to weaken enemies. Other than their tricky scents, a werewolf's howl possessed the ability to impose a state of 'Fear' on other species.
Although a lone werewolf's howl wasn't that effective, depending on their number and ability, a pack of werewolves could muster quite the ntal attack. In this case, it would be an understatent to call the monsters infesting Dae Kyung Town a single pack.
However, Leo had already thought of the greatest counter to this preliminary attack. The Scarlet Sky Breathing thod was known for its brutality on both the physical and ntal scales. Of course, just practicing it wouldn't make soone immune to all damage, but if it was soone whose affinity was through the roof…
"Yeon, now!"
Even before Leo had spoken out, Yeon was already preparing to make her move. In the middle of the circle where the barely decided Martial Artists had fallen into doubt once more, she unleashed her field of pressure to cover all of their followers.
Her pressure field made by covering the area in dispersed Internal Energy couldn't compete with sothing like Cheon Jeong's, but it had just the required level of strength for the situation.
"Are you going to cower into the side once more? Stand up!"
The pressure similarly pushed Jang-Do down just like the Fear effect did, but the sanguine bloodshed that covered everyone seed to wake them up from their cowering slumber, this was not the ti to falter!
The werewolves naturally wouldn't wait for them to recover, ganging up on the small group. However, Cheon Yong's rampage was more than enough to demolish the early advanced forces. As the commander and the strongest, the werewolf chief who was likely the clan leader didn't directly engage from the start, but this cost him so quick losses.
Crackle!
Using the Silver Dragon as a javelin, Leo imitated Cheon Chang's thunderclap throws. He wasn't strong enough to call down the lightning of death from the sky itself, but charging the spear with Black Dragon Energy was more than enough.
Cheon Sohee's attacks had a smaller radius, but her wind blades could take out a few enemies at once. Although the battle looked like it would end in the werewolves' annihilation if it went on as is, that was rely an illusion.
The gap in the distance made it easy to destroy as they wanted, but the monsters using their comrades as shields would soon converge around them, disallowing them from attacking unless they gave up defense or evasion!
In a sense, the situation wasn't that much different from their team's battle with the Devouring Centaur. By overwhelming them with attacks, the werewolves truly stood a chance to turn the situation into a stalemate that could end in their victory!
"Do not freeze in fear! We didn't endure those hellish days back at the Furnace to end up shaking like this."
This was precisely why Yeon gave up her early participation in the battle in order to remove the debuff cast on the people they brought to make up for the difference in numbers. As soone destined to bear the whole Scarlet Sky's weight, her performance could only succeed!
Swish!
"Didn't you always wish for a chance to prove that you aren't that much worse than them? Isn't this the greatest opportunity to prove that by having their backs?"
He had been trying to resist earlier, but it was only now that Jang-Do's broadsword could move about once again, awkwardly slashing the werewolves that were starting to fill up the area around him.
Swish! Swish!
"Yeah! Let's do it!"
"Not only for them but also for ourselves!"
Yeon's aura was helping a lot, but even just Jang-Do's words had a great effect, pushing ntal attacks through ntal support. The followers undeniably had to prove their worth as mbers of the Heavenly Society, but most importantly, they first had to survive!
Leo and the others had brought them here, but they didn't speak of acting as their nannies. If they remained frozen in place after all of that, then they would die!
Let alone having the ti to protect others, the Four Heavenly Beasts would have to worry about protecting themselves against this many numbers. In such a situation, no one would bla them if they escaped due to having trolls for teammates…
Swish!
As such, the shaken mbers desperately swung their weapons in the werewolves' direction. Their attacks weren't strong enough to take down lives with each slash. However, they still had the ability to occupy the enemies' attention.
In a sense, pushing back the enemy's frontlines was a much better strategy than killing everything. It was a bit harsh to say, but Leo had brought them with that intention… To have them act as foot soldiers!
A blend of quality and quantity could only be faced with the sa combination. Leo was only trying to use one stone to crush dozens of birds at the sa ti. However, using his fellow classmates as cannon fodder didn't cross his mind!
Although they appeared clumsy at first due to the unexpected situation, these people could still be considered one of the Heavenly Strength Society's elite groups! Their ti on the field may have held them back, but the strength of Martial Artists who rose during the Era of a protagonist couldn't be underestimated!
'This is only the beginning…'
As the Heavenly Furnace's graduates restored their composure one after the other, a scarlet gleam was rising at the center of the battlefield…
