Chapter 242 - Eastern Fort Is Under Attack

Elder Ross' expression changed drastically, as he recognised the liquid in opponent's hands. But it was too late to stop him. As the Peak Elite Warrior drank the forbidden liquid without any hesitation, his body underwent drastic transformation. 

Soon, his entire body began to bulge. Red coloured veins were popping all over his body making him completely unrecognisable. 

Elder Ross made his move, He formed another sharp silver spike to pierce him. The other hand, the Peak Elite Warrior let out a maddening laugh. As the time goes by, His reasoning begins to corrode due to effects of the liquid.

When the metallic spike came into contact with his body.

"Clang"

It couldn't even pierce through his defence. The forbidden liquid strengthened his body beyond his limit.

Seeing the changes happening before his eyes, Elder Ross frowns. " I don't think he can hold on for so long. I can end him when the effects wear down." He thought to himself.

Though he couldn't reason, his eyes turned bloodshot due to inner instinct to kill the person in front of him.

The Peak Elite Warrior made a powerful punch against him. 

Elder Ross made a silver layer to cover his palm to block his fist. But when both of them collided. Elder Ross flew backwards a little due to the collision.

"Crack" 

His silver layer cracked due to the powerful blow. His entire right arm felt numb due to the collision. Gritting his teeth, Elder Ross decided to use an artefact again. But for that he needs to maintain a suitable distance from him.

Otherwise he will hinder him. Just as he ponders, The Peak Elite Warrior made another move. He didn't even give any chance to Elder Ross. The Peak Elite Warrior was driven by our instinct. This time Elder Ross was put into a defensive position as his constant blows landed on him. 

"Boom" "Boom"

The constant collision of blows made by them resonated in the areas. While things came to the last stage at Elder Ross sides. But his warriors have already completed their mission. Only a few warriors remain alive from enemy sides. But they are at their last breath. It will be a matter of seconds before everyone clears out.

"Boom" 

A wave of flames covered the giant sky. This time the attack is even more stronger than the last time made by the Peak Elite Warrior. The forbidden liquid squeezes out his entire elemental potential in his body. He can make only one or two attacks like this before the power of forbidden liquid wears down.

Elder Ross quickly forms a defensive shield/ball. This metallic shield is stronger than previous ones as it has five layers. Even though Elder Ross didn't let out his guard, especially seeing those sea of flames coming like a tsunami towards him.

When the sea of flames drowns Elder Ross. He took full brunt of the attack. He gritted his teeth in frustration as he clearly underestimated the opponent. The other hand, his metallic elemental essence in his dantian won't last long.

That's why he is hoping to end him with artefact using his last bit of energy. Just as he was holding on, his defensive shield didn't last long. First few layers completely blown away by those flames they couldn't hold on against that much intense heat. 

At this time, "Hmmm" Elder Ross notices something. The power of forbidden liquid showing signs of wearing down. The Peak Elite Warrior will be completely dead once the effect dries down.

Seeing the situation, Elder Ross smiled. " As expected of forbidden liquid, it can only give you buffs of one or two attacks."

"Crack" His last defensive layer broke into pieces. The other hand, those flames haven't died down. As the last layer breaches the entire flames drowns Elder Ross. 

Fortunately, Elder Ross is prepared beforehand he has a defensive armour beneath his dress. When the flames touched his body, his dresses were completely turned into ashes. Using this opportunity, Elder Ross flew backwards to use his artefact. 

Since the Peak Elite Warrior's reasoning ability was gone. He wasn't able to guess Elder Ross's auctions. 

Those flames didn't even cause a slightest injury to him. As his defensive silver armour artefact is the same grade as his weapon artefact set. As a result there is not even a dent on it. 

Seeing his state, he surprised. "It's been a long time since someone cornered me this far." He said to himself. Then he looks at the Peak Elite Warrior who is responsible for this and said, "Sure, You can't underestimate someone who is ready put his life on the line."

He can already sense his worsening condition. His reasoning was lost, if it weren't for it this guy would have already made the next attack on me. Elder Ross knows if this goes on he will die in a few minutes. But he won't let it happen, He wants him to die by his hands.

He used the weapon artefact set again.

"Roar" 

The Peak Elite Warrior roared in agonising pain. Which can be heard by Warrior standing on the ground. Right now, there is no one left from enemies factions. The Elder Ross side suffered few casualties, that's all. All of them looked at the sky to see the end result.

At that moment, A loud wind breaking sound can be heard. A long silver coloured arrow shines brightly in the sky, it tore through the air in break necking speed. Before everyone could follow the path of the silver arrow. It already pierces the target.

"puff" blood filled brain matter burst out throughout the sky. 

Like the previous killing, Elder Ross used the same tactic to end the opponent by targeting his eyes. After killing him, Elder Ross quickly collected their bodies as part of the evidence. As for the first fainted guy, he already died due to burst out organs, his heart also took the brunt of the attack. because of it his vitality quickly withers away.

Elder Ross quickly ordered his men to guard the fort. Then Elder Ross quickly went to his chamber to recuperate. Though he didn't suffer any serious injury. He needs to quickly fill his reserve. Seeing the situation, he knows he can be called at any time. 

After arriving at his chamber, Elder Ross used several rare herbal treasures to restore his essence. Most of the treasures are related to metal attributes. Some time later, Elder Ross sighed in relief, his tired expression replaced by an energetic one. 

Suddenly, his watch buzzes with notification. He quickly received it to view. "Damn, These bastards, they are pushing their luck too far" He cursed at them as he read the message. The situation at the eastern fort is extremely grimm. 

Some groups attacked the east fort at the same time as they faced an attack here. And they are still fighting against the enemy, Seeing the worsening situation they have requested for assistance. For a moment, he decided to go there. But soon he holds down his impulse. 

He is in a dilemma, if he goes there, who will protect his fort. Right now, He plans to assess the current situation on his side before going out to support them. 

...

At Eastern Fort, 

Like Western Fort government building, the second line of defence also breached in minutes. Unlike the western fort the numbers of warriors from the enemy faction is the same as that of the Eastern Fort warriors. 

Not only on the ground, the situation above the sky is also favourable to the enemy faction. Five Warriors from the enemy faction besieging two warriors from the eastern fort. 

Among five of them, two were Peak Elite level Warriors, one Mid Elite level Warrior and two Initial Elite Level Warriors. 

The Eastern Fort side is supported by two Peak Elite Level Warriors. One of the Peak Elite Warriors is an Elder from the Star Tower, Elder Smith. He is ranking below Elder Ross. His ranking is at no.8. The other Peak Elite Warrior is a female, Elder Dorothy. She is the powerhouse requested by the Hall Master of Star Tower to help them during the competition.

At first, the eastern fort was under the protection of 8th Elder Smith. But due to increase in activities seen at the eastern border side. The Star Tower management finally decided to send one Peak Elite Power house to assist. But who would have thought the situation here is worse than they imagined.

Facing the enemy they are still underpowered. After the enemy faction breached the second line of defence to reach eastern fort. It alarmed everyone, as it happened in no time. I took some time to react, Then a constant battle broke out between the two parties. 

At first, Elder Smith and Elder Dorothy managed to hold on for a while. But as the time went, they suffered some injuries due to sneak attack caused by the other three Elite Warriors. Situation, here is completely deteriorating. If it's a two vs two situation they can easily kill their opponent.. But now their essence reserve is draining in alarming a rate.
