Chapter 32: War [2]
Shing!

Asher brandished a spear as Sirius dashed toward the enemies. His men were behind him, their spears ready to pierce through the bodies of these ruthless cannibals that had slain many of the wolf barbarians whom they had just befriended.

As they closed the gap, Alec ran after them with the rest of the wolf barbarians while massaging his right wrist. Hurtling that spear across such a distance strained not just his wrist but also his shoulder, but the battle was still on.

The barbarians gave him an axe, and his speed shot through the roof as he now had a weapon. Alec was like a super soldier, racing past the sturdy barbarians and even closing the gap between him and the horse riders!

And this was while he carried a heavy shield and a one-handed axe.

His eyes narrowed when he saw a golden glow flash through Madman’s body, transforming him into refined gold! The barbarian leaped high, bringing his two-handed great axe down on Asher’s head!

‘The audacity!’

Reeling with anger, he flung his axe through the air, and it collided with Madman’s axe, causing Madman to somersault backward and crash on the ground.

Alec saw Asher glance at him.

Turning his head away, Asher raised his spear and thrust it through a barbarian who tried to cut Sirius. He flung the barbarian against others, spun his spear, and skewed another target. Behind him were his men, aggressively cutting down the barbarians, and those they left behind were attacked by their allies, the wolf barbarians.

By the time Madman got to his feet, a great wolf was running toward him, and it clawed through his metal skin, ripping him apart. Madman’s metal skin talent was no match for Sirius’ sharp claws. In just one strike, a powerful silver-ranked axeman was slain!

Asher jumped down from Sirius’ back and hurled his spear into a barbarian. He drew out his gold-ranked sword and brandished it.

Clutching the hilt tightly, he dashed into battle, cutting down barbarians without mercy. Those who saw their fellow humans as meat weren’t humans in his eyes; they were cruel beasts!

Suddenly a silver-ranked barbarian threw an axe toward him as he engaged a huge barbarian. Asher sensed the attack and leaned to his right. He rolled backward, avoiding a blow from the huge barbarian, and flipped to his feet almost immediately.

Swoosh!

The silver-ranked barbarian leaped into the air. As he landed, the earth beneath his feet and around him imploded. He dashed toward Asher with a great shout and launched several strikes, but Asher neatly evaded them while watching out for the huge barbarian.

“I will chew your bones!”

The silver-ranked barbarian roared as he once again struck the ground, causing another explosion that made Asher cover his eyes to avoid dust entering his eyes.

Asher rolled to the side, evading a strike from the huge barbarian, and he intercepted the silver-ranked one, then pushed him back and kicked his chest. Asher’s training made him more agile, stronger, more disciplined, and more aware than other warriors of his rank.

Training in the night and sometimes with blindfolds had made his ears a powerful weapon, which was why even when the huge barbarian was out of his sight range, he could still monitor him.

All of a sudden, an arrow struck the silver-ranked barbarian’s forehead, killing him instantly. The moment he died, Asher rushed toward the huge one, but before he could swing his sword, the head of the huge barbarian flew into the air!

“Apologies, Lord, but this one was mine.”

Alec said while looking at the corpse.

Asher chuckled and turned. He saw Eritrea about one hundred meters away. She waved at him and focused on helping others along with her sharpshooting sisters.

Asher continued his battle along with Alec, not far from him. They could hear the sound of horses while combating their enemies.

“Die you mad barbarians!”

Those on his side began to shout as they saw they were on the winning side.

After slaying a barbarian, Asher ducked as an axe flew over his head. He sprung up and slapped the barbarian with the back of his hand, and before the barbarian could recover, an arrow struck his chest, right at his heart.

It was Eritrea.

She ran alongside him with a soft smile. “I guess you were what we needed to win.”

Just as those words left her lips, a loud sound echoed.

Bam!

Asher flew almost two meters into the air, blood spurting out of his mouth and trailing him to his fall.

The dramatic turn of events shocked Eritrea to her bones. The empty spot before them distorted, and Iron Tooth appeared with blood stains on his axe.

“I’ve been waiting for you.” He said to Asher’s still body and then turned to Eritrea. He proceeded to lick his black lips.

“And you.”
