Chapter 56: The Final Battle on the Island

Chapter 56: The Final Battle on the Island

With these thoughts in mind, Krul felt an immediate surge of motivation.

He also hatched a new plan.

Since the Human Race had noticed him and started targeting him, let their storm of aggression come even fiercer!

“Kill!”

He abandoned defense, raising his bloodstained longsword, he shouted loudly to his loyal guards behind him.

With a deafening roar, just like before, he charged headlong into the oncoming Human Soldiers.

His loyal guards closely followed him from behind.

No extra words were exchanged, but the series of actions left everyone feeling a jolt of shock.

Confronted with Krul’s sudden counterattack, not only were the Human Soldiers caught off guard, but the Elven Guards beside them were equally bewildered.

Weren’t they supposed to defend using their advantageous terrain, waiting to drain the Human Race’s courage before launching a counterstrike?

Why launch a counterattack out of nowhere!

Faced with Krul’s unexpected tactics, the Elven Officer found himself at a loss, unsure of how to proceed.

Krul had given no urgent commands to him.

Thus, he felt utterly torn.

Should he follow directly into the counterattack, or stick to the original plan and wait before striking?

Krul’s sudden assault caught the Human army completely off guard.

The Human army had been in an attacking pose, with no time left to adopt a defensive stance.

Now, it was a complete deadlock between them and Krul.

If they hesitated, only failure awaited them; however, a determined push might still offer a chance at victory.

“Warriors of the Human Race, do not be afraid, kill all these pointy-eared bastards!”

A Human Officer quickly reacted, rallying his troops’ morale.

Yet, compared to Krul, his words and actions lacked any real persuasive power.

The Human Soldiers felt as if Krul, charging at them, didn’t resemble an Elf with a similar physique but a bloodthirsty beast.

Now, this bloodthirsty beast was coming to claim their lives.

However, the discipline of the troops prevented them from completely losing their fighting spirit; they reluctantly rallied their resolve to face off against Krul and the Elves.

In this battle, they had already gained significant advantages, so victory was inevitably in their grasp, rather than that of the Elves.

But while victory was indeed possible for the Human side, it was clear they were on the brink of a catastrophic defeat.

And this defeat would undoubtedly be a lifelong nightmare for those who survived, an experience they’d never be able to escape.

Krul was definitely one of the most terrifying enemies they had ever faced.

The moment the two sides clashed, Krul swiftly took the lives of several Human Soldiers with a series of cuts.

This left the surrounding Human Soldiers in shock.

Although it took Krul several slashes to claim those lives, to the Human Soldiers, it felt like mere moments.

In the blink of an eye, several comrades had perished right before their eyes.

In the rear, the Human Officer watched in terror as Krul, flanked by his loyal guards, slaughtered through the ranks of the Human force.

He never expected the enemy to be this formidable!

Even the most elite of soldiers couldn’t withstand such a killing spree.

They weren’t emotionless machines.

They were vastly stronger than ordinary people, but they still felt fear!

No wonder those who came before ran away in chaos before this relentless killer.

At that moment, the Human Officer finally understood the thoughts in their hearts.

Faced with such a demonic force, especially the leading figure, escaping was the only option.

Remaining here meant only meeting a grim fate.

Even if the Humans were to triumph in this battle, those who stayed behind would only become stepping stones.

They would become part of the “thousands of bones to make one success.”

However, as the one assigned specifically to stop Krul, the Human Officer knew he had no choice but to grit his teeth and endure.

Of course, he wouldn’t just sit by and let Krul wreak havoc.

He called over a messenger and said, “Go tell His Majesty the Emperor that the enemy is much stronger than we imagined, and we need reinforcements, especially from powerful allies.”

Once he finished speaking, the Human Officer charged forward with his loyal guards.

He didn’t believe he could match Krul’s prowess, but he felt he could at least stall him for a moment.

The messenger quickly relayed the message to Alexander.

In fact, Alexander, who had been monitoring that battlefield, already had a certain understanding of the situation there.

Upon hearing the messenger’s report, he made a decisive decision.

He would personally confront that Elven champion!

Without a doubt, that Elven champion was a great hero.

After all, the Human troops he had sent to stop the enemy were among the best within the entire Human army.

The commanding officer was a ten-tier warrior.

To pose such great pressure on this elite force meant the enemy truly was formidable.

Since it was a great hero, he deserved Alexander’s personal intervention.

Beside him, Suratu made no move to stop Alexander’s actions.

He knew that even if he spoke, Alexander wouldn’t listen.

Moreover, he understood that as a warrior, especially a monarch, one could never show fear at such a moment.

Biding one’s time to take revenge depended on whether the moment was right.

Meanwhile, Krul remained unaware that his plan had already successfully drawn the attention of the Human Emperor Alexander.

At this moment, he had no time to dwell on those thoughts.

Although the Human warriors before him were not as skilled, they were still heroes of the third tier, markedly different from other Human soldiers, and posed a certain threat to him.

Plus, the Humans had sheer numbers on their side; nearby Human Soldiers and Mages would occasionally launch disruptive attacks at him.

His loyal guards could only shield him from some assaults.

The remaining attacks required him to be vigilant.

In truth, the attacks from those Human warriors were manageable; the real issue was with the Human Mages.

Every kind of negative magic was hurled at him.

Gravity spells, fatigue spells, fear spells…

Even if their effects weren’t particularly strong, the multitude of spells raining down would inevitably have some impact on him.

For instance, he already felt quite vexed inside.

How long was this going to last!

This torment continued for some time.

Unable to hold back any longer, Krul finally erupted.

He was going to show these Human Mages what true magic looked like.

Krul first forcefully repelled the Human Officer confronting him; then he slightly crouched, driving his longsword forcefully into the ground; finally, a massive silver Magic Circle materialized centered on him and his sword.
