Mercenary System: I can increase innate potential !-Chapter 161: Fire!

"Kill." ordered Maxime, with a slight smile.

Oscar and Kaelor, although astonished by the sudden appearance of powerful fighters around Maxime, suddenly began to fear.

But having reached this point, there was no turning back.

And above all, they knew that if they succeeded in killing this young blond man, then these many powerful men would disappear immediately.

Kaelor roared and flew into the air.

His body seemed to become a living weapon, and he rushed towards Maxime at lightning speed.

At the same time, Oscar also rushed towards Maxime.

Clearly, the two had the same plan.

A number of Dravaks in the vicinity immediately understood, and also began to rush towards Maxime.

But now that there were 3 Shibuya leaders, as well as 2 knights plus Dravus, it was all for naught.

Kaite and Langus immediately activated their vital seed and blocked Oscar and Kaelor.

The few other Dravak strongmen were also blocked by the 3 Shibuya leaders.

Seeing the situation, the Shibuya opened fire and drove the Dravaks back to the area.

But it wasn’t over yet!

The Dravaks who had gathered so far all took to the air, then some armed with their assault rifles, began to attack the center of the battlefield where Maxime was located, as well as the Shibuya who were behind.

The remaining 3/4 armed with hand-to-hand weapons rushed towards the Saber-toothed Tigers and the Shibuya!

A total of 3,000 Dravaks rushed the 300 Shibuya and 100 Saber-toothed Tigers!

A veritable war scene was now unfolding!

Maxime stood motionless at the center of the chaos, his hands still in his pockets, observing the scene with an almost insolent calm.

From time to time, he dodged a few assault rifle shots.

As Kaelor charged towards Maxime, Kaite leapt into the air with phenomenal power!

It should be noted that once the Seed of Life had been activated, combined with the Nox Limit talent, Kaite now had an extremely powerful physique despite the constraints of the universe.

Kaelor saw a woman with an eye patch rush towards him!

The problem was that the woman was coming from his side, sword pointed directly at him!

And with his inertia, he couldn’t flap his wings to slow down and dodge her.

So the scene was predictable.

Like a cannonball, Kaite collided violently with Kaelor!

Kaelor was thrown violently towards the ground, but managed to slow his fall thanks to his wings.

However, his face had hit the ground, which was a great humiliation for him! Experience new tales on novelbuddy

"Damned human."

He couldn’t help swearing.

Especially when he saw that his armor had been severely damaged by Kaite’s shoddy sword.

For her part, Kaite wore a grim expression as she watched her sword shatter into a thousand pieces on collision.

She knew her sword would reappear intact in Eternity when they returned, but in the meantime she was out of weapons!

Fortunately, there were plenty of Dravaks armed to the teeth nearby!

With an unruffled expression, she threw herself towards one of them at random, and retrieved a very good quality sword.

"It’ll be of more use to me than to you, don’t worry," she said to the ordinary Dravak with the kill of a sword."

Then she turned to Kaelor, who was still on the ground.

"You’re lucky, half-dragon man. Next time, you’ll die."

Kaelor immediately became annoyed at seeing a human scorn her.

"Don’t underestimate the Dravaks, human! Our bloodlines are incomparably superior to a vulgar inferior species than humans!"

...

While Kaite and Kaelor began to clash violently, Langus found it much harder to hold Oscar.

"Is that all you’re worth?" declared Oscar arrogantly, forcing Langus to back away every time their weapons crossed,

Langus had stolen a top-quality spear from one of the Dravaks before.

As a knight, he had mastered many types of weapons, so he had no trouble fighting with a spear, and even showed great skill with it.

However, he was still being dominated by Oscar.

"If that’s all you’ve got, you’re going to die."

Langus’s expression darkened, but he continued to fight fiercely.

As long as he could hold off this Dravak, that was good enough!

Unfortunately, ideas are ideas, and reality wasn’t always what you wanted it to be.

"You think you’re saving time, don’t you?" Oscar asked with a mischievous grin, even though he was only less than two meters away.

Langus gave no indication of this and continued to fight fiercely.

"Tch...never mind, we’ve had enough fun."

At the same time Oscar suddenly opened his mouth wide.

"What?"

Before Langus could understand, a gigantic burst of fire came at him.

He had no time to dodge, and was directly hit by all the flames coming out of Langus’s mouth.

Having finished spitting fire, Oscar mocked the knight in front of him.

"Hahaha, you didn’t think a Dravak with awakened bloodline could only fight hand-to-hand?"

"That’s a gross underestimation of our species!"

Langus couldn’t answer as he was overcome by flames and shouted at the top of his voice.

"AHHHHHH."

Langus collapsed to the ground, his body covered in an incandescent veil. Oscar’s flames were no ordinary tongues of fire; they seemed alive, clinging to him like hungry claws, biting every fiber of his being. His screams echoed across the battlefield in a mixture of raw agony and restrained rage.

The pain was indescribable. It was as if every part of his body was being pierced by white-hot needles, while his skin burned away under the relentless assault of the flames.

His armor, though forged from resistant material, began to twist and melt, sending burning shards sinking into his flesh.

Langus felt his breath grow short, each inhalation drawing in burning vapors that devoured his lungs.

His mind wavered, but he held on, refusing to succumb.

The vital seed pulsing within him, his last bulwark against annihilation, activated desperately.

A cold, regenerative energy began to counter the flames, but it wasn’t enough.

Every second spent in this furnace was costing him more than he could regenerate. Yet Langus knew he couldn’t give in.

"Don’t weaken..." he muttered to himself inwardly, clutching the spear that was still in his hand. He planted the weapon in the ground and straightened up, his muscles trembling, his breath ragged. The flames began to fade slightly, but Oscar wasn’t done yet.

"Impressive. You’re still standing? So let’s see how long you can last!" sneered Oscar as he slowly approached, his gaze filled with contempt.

Langus looked up, his vision blurred by pain and smoke. But in this haze, he found brutal clarity. His pain, crushing as it was, turned into a source of pure determination.

"You think... I’m going to fall that easily?" he gasped, his voice hoarse but imbued with new strength.

Oscar replied with a wry smile, but before he could retort, Langus channeled what little energy he had left into a final assault. His spear, imbued with a bluish glow, split the air with a power that surprised even Oscar.

The tip of the spear struck Oscar head-on, forcing him back several meters. Although he blocked the attack with his scale-armored arm, the impact left a deep mark, and for the first time, a grimace crossed his face.

"You... you dare?!" roared Oscar, furious.

Langus staggered, his body barely able to stand. The pain still pulsed, but he found a strange comfort in his opponent’s reaction. He had succeeded in wounding that self-centered Dravak.

Langus wanted to respond, but he could no longer.

He fell to the ground, the flames still consuming him.

Indeed, when surrounded by flame, not only did the body burn, but so did the oxygen.

This made it extremely difficult for Langus to breathe when surrounded by such powerful flames, causing him to asphyxiate.

Oscar approached, filled with rage, ready to finish Langus off.

But just as he was about to kill Langus for good, an intense sense of danger attacked him.

"What the!?"

He stepped back several meters with a single blow, and at the same time a laser sword passed where he stood.

"Too bad, it would have been so much easier if you’d stayed quietly in place."

Oscar eyed the young blond man warily without replying.

Even against Leïla, he hadn’t received such a feeling of danger, even though he knew very well that she was one of the strong people on this yellow-level dimensional battlefield.

Everyone knew each other, since they regularly fought together on the same dimensional battlefields.

But since he’d recently awakened his bloodline, he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to deal the humans a severe blow before they got wind of his transformation.

...

Not far away, the three Shibuya leaders, Edgar, Sophia and Lucien, revealed their full strength.

Sophia, moving among the Dravaks like an elusive shadow, mowed down her enemies with deadly grace.

Edgar commanded a compact defensive line of fifty Shibuya, preventing the Dravaks on the ground from reaching Maxime.

The other 250 were busy fighting ordinary Dravaks.

Lucien, meanwhile, was using his agility and fast attacks to confuse the enemy ranks, breaking their cohesion.

He particularly tried to target the Dravaks leading the troops.

A lot had happened in such a short time.

And now, Maxime’s mercenaries had arrived at the center of the battlefield.
