Corrupt Creations

Those huge beasts invaded his mansion destroying everything in front of them, be it the walls or the other minor beasts. Their auras rendered the humans defending the front line useless and like cabbages being cut by a sharp knife, they were cleaved by the huge claws of those two deformed monsters.

Colton was a hundred meters apart from where they entered from, and was able to witness how gruesome those beasts were. There seemed to be a red energy coursing through their limbs, making them look fiercer.

Since he was the only Mana Perception Realm cultivator, he dashed towards them, already holding his saber. He made sure to release his aura, trying to attract the attention of those monsters for himself, decreasing the casualties of his people.

However, the beasts ignored him and continued to attack what was before them in a frenzy. Many bodies were ripped apart as the guards struggled to defend from their attacks.

Colton Hilkhell finally reached the area, cutting off one of the arms of the closest beast. He started to open many different wounds on different parts of that monster's body, making it retreat because of the sudden pressure it was suffering.

Suddenly, he felt the second beast approaching him from his right side. With a bit of difficulty, he was able to defend from those huge claws that threatened to rip him apart.

However, the beast he was just able to heavily wound, came back, attacking him from the other side.

Colton never imagined he would suffer an attack from the beast he had almost defeated, seconds after he had cut one of its limbs off. After receiving a direct strike on his left side, he flew for forty meters, hitting some pillars and making some walls collapse. If that beast wasn't in a bad shape, he would be dead already.

"City Lord!"

"Protect the City Lord!"

As soon as he was sent flying, the beasts started to chase after him, but many guards started to interfere in their fight, lightly injuring those advancing monsters at the cost of their lives.

"Cough! Cough! Spat!" Colton Hilkhell spat some blood and felt his body was aching everywhere. He tried to stand up, but his body was too heavy already.

However, he needed to defend the people from his city, so he started to use his saber as a support to stand back up, but not even a second later, his momentum and resolve was thoroughly crushed.

CHIRP!

Another aura made everyone stop their fight. It descended upon them, making every single creature tremble.

A Mana Perception peak-stage beast suddenly descended from the skies. The temperature rose to an unbearable degree and many soldiers felt the armors they were wearing melting and sticking to their skin, making them feel an acute burning pain.

A Flaming Eagle was descending from above, and it seemed ready to spit fire on them all.

When Colton Hilkhell looked at that beast, he felt there was nothing more he could do. It was the end of the Hilkhell city. The end of his legacy.

However, just as it was about to make fire rain from above, the figure of a man appeared right above the Flaming Eagle and the fire around that beast body extinguished. The eagle, just like a torch that has been extinguished, felt a weakness it couldn't explain. Its huge body dropped from above, crashing in the middle of the battlefield.

The beast entered in a state of unconsciousness, since the man that defeated it, didn't want to kill it just yet.

The soldiers noticed that there weren't any more beasts invading the Hilkhell manor anymore and felt the pressure on them lessening too. They converged their attack strength to kill the minor beasts that were still alive, ignoring those two other Mana Perception initial-stage beasts still alive.

It wasn't that they felt the man would save them from the danger those beasts posed. They didn't attack, because there was another mysterious figure already engaging in a fight with both beasts.

The grass on the floor in front of Rina started to grow quickly, attacking the beasts from all sides. Rina was a Mana Perception initial-stage cultivator, just like her enemies, but she was not just using a simple technique, but the Evergreen Essence, to make the plants grow. It was an Essence left behind by a Deity related to nature, it was only natural that her technique would be strong.

Many blades of grass pierced the beast that was already heavily injured, destroying its core and ceasing its life right there.

However, the other one was able to defend itself from those deadly blades of grass, only receiving minor wounds on both of its claws. The beast took the opportunity to build up momentum and charge towards the target in front, trying to kill that target at all cost.

ROAR!

But Rina was already prepared. Many vines surged from the soil, winding around the monster and making it abruptly stop. Those vines were very sturdy and nothing the beast did, was able to set it free.

Seth was observing Rina's fight and he noticed her Evergreen Essence abilities were very good to paralyze a target and stall for time. They were good to cause damage too, but their primary objective was to buy time or to prison a target.

At the same time that he was learning how to better use the Evergreen Essence, he was analyzing Rina's abilities, trying to see what she was lacking and what she was good at.

The vines that were binding the beast, suddenly started to move around it tightening the grip. At the same time, many other grass blades started to raise from below, piercing that beast body, since it was not able to move.

Rina effortlessly was able to take care of two targets at the same realm of power than her. That showed how powerful the Evergreen Essence was, taking in consideration that beasts had stronger and tougher bodies than humans and elves had.

After everything ended, the guards that were still alive, were finally able to sigh in relief.. However, they couldn't even celebrate the victory, since the losses were too heavy.
