Protagonist?Antagonist? I Reject Both

Chapter 174 174:Demon Of The Battlefield

The next moment, Leon turned his head and chuckled while looking sharply at everyone.

"A long time ago, in such a hopeless situation, an ugly bastard told me."

A memory of him desperately clinging to his life and struggling to survive flickered.

Behind him was a wall and before him were an array of fucking assholes wanting to tear him apart.

There was no escape for him.

Either he was going to die or emerge stronger and victorious.

Fortunately, it was the second thing.

With a chuckle, Leon pulled out his two-handed greatsword from the ground. He waved it a few times in the air and walked forward.

Everyone marveled wondering how one could wield a huge sword in one hand so seamlessly.

The others such as Ian, Sander, Vikram, Thane, Peter, Garrison, Su Lin, and many others followed from behind…Some had determined expressions on their face and some were weighed down with worry.

Leon stepped on the ground with a large stride.

The monster army instead of jumping back was stepping back due to fear emanating from those golden eyes making their heart squeeze.

His gaze was fierce as he continued with a chilly tone," He said…

"Since there is no way to retreat.."

"Why not charge forward with all your might?"

The next moment Leon pointed his greatsword towards a distant dark flag and roared furiously.

"Soldiers, assault formation!"

"Our target is North..."

"There is no guarantee that we can pull aggro and keep everyone here until we become a big threat for them to ignore so…."

"We are going toward that fucking greenhead at the back and assist Cameron."

With a sign, Irina raised her hand and twirled her finger.

SWOOSH!

The surrounding Qi churned and formed a vortex that swirled around Irina. A whitish aura burst forth from her body and a huge cold freezing aura coalesced on her finger.

A huge ball of aura ice started to condense into a small ball and once she did it, she pointed her fingers at the incoming enemy who stepped over their kin to march towards them.

"Release!"

As if a command had been issued, the ball of ice shot ahead towards the enemy troops.

Leon jumped dragging his sword and slashed the white ball of condensed icy aura towards the enemy.

The moment his sword touched the condensed ball….

BOOOOOOOOM!

With a simple horizontal swing of the sword, Leon blasted open the qi condensed in the small orb towards the enemy.

A huge arc of white glow burst forth and tore apart the air colliding with enemies. A chilling sensation erupted dropping the surrounding temperatures by many degrees.

With a simple yet elegant horizontal swing of his sword, Leon unleashed the pent-up qi condensed within the small orb, directing it toward the oncoming horde of orcs.

As he did, the dazzling arc of white glow erupted from the blade, slicing through the air with a fierce determination.

The blast of energy tore through the ranks of the orc army, creating a shockwave that reverberated through the battlefield.

As the blast connected with its targets, a chilling sensation spread outward, freezing the surrounding air and dropping temperatures by several degrees in an instant.

"Khumm!'

"Cold!"

CRACKLE!CRACKLE!CRACKLE!

The orcs, caught off guard by the sudden assault, let out guttural screams of agony as the icy blast engulfed them. Their cries echoed across the battlefield, mixing with the sounds of clashing steel and roaring pain. Some attempted to shield themselves from the frigid onslaught, but it was of no avail as the relentless cold pierced through their defenses.

Amidst the chaos, the orcs' shouts grew louder, a cacophony of pain and desperation filling the air. Their once ferocious demeanor faltered as they struggled to withstand the freezing attack, their movements slowing and their ranks breaking apart under freezing coldness turning them into icy sculptures.

"Damn!"

"It's freezing cold…KHUMM!''

Loud roars of chilling pain kept on ringing and Orc started to step back to get away from getting freezing and breaking apart.

However, the retreat didn't last long as the command center was quickly established due to the presence of Martial Kings who immediately made their way seeing the turning situation.

At that time, Liebert who charged at the front following the commander's order tried to control the flow.

Behind a squad of archers and Orc mages followed. He frowned upon arriving at the front and was astonished seeing this.

'We clearly had an advantage in the beginning but this savage brute is destroying everything. Even we Orcs aren't as mad as this guy.'

"Orc Mage…Light the air...Burn that witch.."

Following Liebert, a squad of Orc mages holding a staff raised it and aimed at Irina.

"Also fire arrows!"

Leon, who managed to glimpse the enemy's movements through the gap, turned back and roared as loud as possible.

"ARROWS INCOMING!"

As the orc horde advanced, and Leon's voice echoed, Irina's sharp voice rang out clear and authoritative over the flow of battle. "Raise the shields! Formation Delta, now!" she commanded, her tone boomed loudly filled with confidence despite the imminent danger.

In response, the human soldiers swiftly moved into position, forming a tight formation with their shields interlocking to create a solid barrier against the onslaught of bony arrows. As the first array was unleashed by the orc archers, the air was filled with a deadly rain of projectiles.

"Hold still!"Peter shouted.

The arrows clattered against the shields with a sharp, metallic sound, some bouncing harmlessly off the reinforced surface while others embedded themselves deep into the shields. Despite the barrage, the soldiers held their ground, their shields serving protection against the deadly rain of arrows.

"Steady, men! Hold the line! Hold the Line!"

Thane shouted above the chaos, his voice was suppressed amidst the storm of battle and was barely audible

His words were met with grimace as the soldiers braced themselves against the relentless assault, their muscles straining beneath the weight of their shields.

Amidst the chaos, a few arrows managed to find their mark, piercing through the gaps in the shield formation and finding their targets. The cries of wounded soldiers echoed across the battlefield, mingling with the sounds of clashing steel and shouted orders.

But despite the casualties, the formation held strong.

With each passing moment, the orc archers grew more desperate, their arrows raining down with increasing ferocity as they sought to break through the human defenses but things took an abrupt turn all of a sudden.

Liebert smiled and waved his hand.

The shooting of arrays stopped but what followed after was….

SWOOSH!SWOOSH!SWOOSH!

The chilly air started to boil.

Many just lowered their shields in relief thinking it was over but just as they lowered their shields their eyes widened and saw intense orbs of flames flickering in the sky.

"SHIT!"

"FUCK!"

The soldiers screamed while Irina jumped up immediately.

As the orc mages summon orbs of fire, casting them toward the army with malicious intent, Irina's swift advance cuts through the tension like a blade. With a commanding gesture, she called forth her inner power, invoking the presence of a primal and majestic martial spirit of the Ice Goddess.

Behind her, the spirit materialized, its form glowing with icy brilliance, and unleashing a relentless storm of snow upon the oncoming flames.

BOOM!BOOM!BOOM

Explosions erupted in the mid air one after another.

The clash of elements created a myriad of hit-and-cold explosions as the air expanded and contracted in quick succession.

"Commanded Irina! See there."

Large shouts echoed drawing attention and she saw many orbs joining to form a huge fiery Orb that shot at her.

Irina gritting her teeth summoned a great amount of her inner Qi that made her face pale due to the huge consumption all of a sudden.

[Winter bliss]

The air crackled with anticipation as fire and ice converged in a battle of primal pressures. The orbs of fire surged forward, pursuing streaks of searing heat as they clashed against the icy attack unleashed by the goddess spirit. The battlefield erupted into chaos, as the opposing energies collided with a thunderous roar, sending shockwaves rippling across the landscape.

Amidst the unrest, Irina stood steadily, her gaze becoming sharp as she channeled her will through the martial spirit at her side.

Together, she held the line against the fiery onslaught, her integrated strength a beacon of hope for the embattled army. As the clash reached its peak, the world seemed to hold its breath, waiting to see which force would emerge victorious in this struggle.

But in the end, it was the power of the Ice that prevailed, the relentless storm of snow emerging from Irina extinguishing the flames with a chilling finality.

With a triumphant cry, Irina and her spirit companion stood tall while Irina panting heavily. She was covered by a thick layer of snow and her movement had become stiff fur in the aftermath.

At that moment, everyone wondered where was Leon…..

BANG!

Just as the smoke dispersed, everyone heard a weak bang and the next moment they saw the place covered in rocks where Leon stood exploded into a pile of dust and crushed land.

And much to their horror, his figure seemed to disappear, and flying through the air and tracing a curve, he hit the enemy mages sides with a blast.

BOOM!
