Chapter 166: 166: Pound for Pound
Caleb watched as the bunch of Apokalips under Shu's command began to walk towards them. Their huge bodies literally caused intense rumbling to the ground. With a grim expression, Caleb began to think of their options. Multiple plans flashed through his head yet they were also crossed out as soon as they popped up since most of them were rather high risk while others weren't just feasible.
He was stuck between a rock and a hard place. The situation in front of them was just too despairing and helpless. How would they supposed to solve this shit?
First of all, there are almost hundreds or even thousands on the opposite side. He can't really perform an accurate estimation due to their huge bodies. After all, his spirit perception has limited scope. They were greatly outnumbered this time. Literally, 5 vs 100+
Second, he didn't even know Shu's true power or strength. He doubts that the bastard was really going all out when they were sparring in the past year.
Third, he could see that there were even six or nine tier 8 among the group of Apokalips on the opposite side. This is really an impossible game to win! The odds are just against their team. If
Las-t
Before he could even continue his thoughts. The sound of hundreds of footsteps that seemed to be galloping toward them echoed.
'What's that?' Caleb squinted. Then, he saw hundreds of black dots with his enhanced vision growing in his sight like ants.
After a few seconds, he finally recognized them. Hundreds of scouts, including veteran scouts. From new recruits to tier 8 officers appeared one after another. In front of them was Roger, who had his eyes on Shu. "My soldiers, March!"
"Unexpectedly, they would arrive in such a short time." Shu sighed. However, there was no hint of fear in his voice, as if unnerve. Then he looked at the team five, his previous companions. "You guys are lucky for your reinforcement to arrive this time. But my goal isn't really to kill. My goal is Johan." he said with a smirk.
'What is this bastard talking about? My goal is me?'
Rozho, Kidd, and the others were also confused. Kazuto's eyebrows were raised as he asked. "What do you need with him?"
"Sorry to interrupt you guys. But it seems we are not late." Roger stopped beside Caleb and patted him on the back with satisfaction. Then he glared at Shu and said in a gruff voice. "It's time to punish this traitor."
"Hehe... Punish me? You might have a higher realm than me but I don't think you could do anything with me with my methods."
Shu put his hands in his pocket and pulled out a white crystal glass with a smile. The crystal was clear enough to reflect the face of someone who looked at it. Then he instructed the Apokalips under his command to stop advancing for a moment.
"In the face of absolute strength. Every trick our useless. No matter what tactics or methods you have. Go on!"
Roger spoke with a confident demeanor that instilled power in those who heard it. Even Caleb felt that it was hard to beat such a guy with strong self-belief.
Shu just shook his head. "Let's see."
The Apokalips continued their advance. Roger raised his hand and shouted. "For the City! For the people behind our backs! Fight! Fight! Fight!"
"Fight! Fight! Fight!" the scouts behind Roger shouted in unison as they charged towards the wave of abomination in front of them. Of course, Caleb didn't follow their stupid shouts.
"Good luck, guys. Don't go too deep in the fight. The most important thing is to stay alive. As long as we survive, there will always be hope."
Kazuto turned his back on his team and dived at the incoming monsters with resolve. His silhouette vanished. His speed was even faster than champions at the Olympics back on Earth by sixteen times!
"Tsk. Tsk..." Kidd's mouth twitched at Kazuto's words. He couldn't help but snort. "What a showoff!"
Rozho and Rekka looked at each other speechlessly. Then the two also started their own performance. Rozho dove into the crowd of monsters with one sword each in his hand and one in his mouth. In a flash, his figure appeared on top of an orc. His blade rotated three times, cutting both arms and the neck of the monster.
Rekka, on the other hand, summoned and turned three ten-meter Apokalips in the span of a minute.
"Fuck! What kind of dragon is that!? A legacy!??"
"Whoa... Look at that green-haired guy. His swordsmanship is fucking superb! What is his name again!?"
"I'll be damned! This team five is quite fierce! Are they really only tier 9 and fresh recruits? How is that possible!? Why can they take out enemies at the same tier as them with such ease!?"
"They are prodigies? Are you already surprised? Wait for their leader, Johan, to make a move, and you'll start questioning the fairness of life." Said, a man with a yellow hair and a piercing on his nose.
The crowd began to witness the true might of the team five this time. The other teams even began to doubt if the team five was really their peers. Of course, it's not only that team five that showed their prowess.
For example, Andre managed to hold off two Apokalips with his bare hands. Well, he couldn't really kill them due to not using weapons. Andre was the type of fighter who thinks that the human body is the most powerful weapon there is. Our fists, feet, shoulders, and so on are more deadly when honed to the extreme. He was the type of guy who enjoyed fighting fist to fist or pound for pound!
In a world where most fighters use weapons. His fighting style was too dazzling and could easily attract others' attention. As of now, he had already landed fifty punches to the head of the enemy. He was also sometimes tanking the attacks of Apokalips with his body and still managed to stand firm. It drew admiration from the crowd.
