Rise of the Horde

The Abyssal Felid turned its head and stared at the injured Akwilah that was having a hard time in getting back up on its legs. It charged forward and locked its jaws upon one of the enormous eagle's legs, then its three tails showered Draegh'ana's summon with them. Akwilah cried in pain as it was pierced again and again by the tails of its opponent. Its body was now riddled with holes and it grew weak, not even being able to move anymore. The Abyssal Felid stepped on the head of Akwilah before clamping its jaws on the weakened eagle's neck before vigorously shaking its head from side to side.

It didn't take long for Akwilah's struggle to end as it turned into stardust, scattering away with the wind. Ulfrus seeing that its fellow summon got forcefully unsummoned, charge back in again only to be met by the tails of the Abyssal Felid and locking it in place. Immobilized, Ulfrus wasn't able to defend itself as its opponent turned its body into stardust and following after Akwilah, returning to their place.

Capricorn shook its head to regain his bearings, but before he could even regain his senses, he felt a stinging pain in his chest. Looking down, he saw the tails of his opponent, deeply piercing his chest and coming out of its back. Capricorn moved forward and had the tails piercing him be impaled deeper as he reached the head of his opponent with his arms. Grabbing a tight hold of his opponent's ears, he head-butted it with all his strength. "Meh last gift!" he muttered before disappearing into a cloud of stardust..

At the rear of the Yohan warriors, Draegh'ana felt weak, very weak after her summons were forcefully dismissed by their opponent. Her mana leaked as she tried to repair the connection between her and her summons. Adhalia was on guard in front of Draegh'ana with her blade in her hands in a defensive posture.

*****

Xiao Chen tore away more than half of his opponent's neck before it remained still and no longer struggled in his clutches. He breathed out a sigh of relief and heard the system prompt.

"Congratulations on gaining one hundred thousand points!"

"Unlocking achievement Small Wealth!"

"Sweet!" Xiao Chen got excited about him gaining a hundred thousand points in one go after slaying one of the two Abyssal Felids. Despite being in immense pain because of all the wounds that he sustained, he found strength and pushed off the corpse of his foe and freed himself.

Standing up slowly, he saw the other Abyssal Felid eyeing his warriors, who were maintaining their defensive formation and keeping their guards up.

"Me Smash!"

Galum'nor shouted as he charged forward and brought his sledgehammer down on the Abyssal Felid, who jumped away to evade the strike of the huge orc which would surely cause immense pain if hit. The huge orc was raised his weapon up and after seeing his opponent successfully evading his attack. "Good opponent! Here I come! Smash!" he bellowed as he slammed his sledgehammer once again, but his opponent was too quick for him.

Before Galum'nor could even raise his weapon once again, his opponent pounced on him and left a deep gash on his chest. "Ugh... Me dizzy..." the huge orc grabbed his temples as swayed uncontrollably. The wound on his chest was oozing out black miasma and the skin around the wound turned black quickly.

The Abyssal Felid ignored Galum'nor and jumped towards the Yurakks. "Torhterra Formation!" Xiao Chen quickly shouted to his warriors. The Yurakks were quick to respond as they formed up into their umbrella like formation and denying their foe from landing amidst their ranks. The Abyssal Felid growled angrily as it clawed on the iron shields that it was stepping on. Its claws were cutting through the shields easily, but the wielder of the shield remained calm and still maintained formation while his shield was slowly being torn apart.

Through the gashes on his shield, the Yurakk could see the face of their opponent. It was a bizarre creature that he hadn't seen before and those misplaced eyes were giving him the chills, but he still remained collected as he unsheathed his sword and stabbed the enormous cat atop his shield through the gaps that were created on his shield.

"Trolls! Fire away! Yurakks maintain formation!" Xiao Chen shouted again before vomiting blood. His wounds still stung hard, but he gritted his teeth and run towards his warriors.

The trolls rained down their javelins on the Abyssal Felid as they were ordered. A storm of javelins forced their opponent to jump around and evade the barrage of javelins. The Yurakks grunted as their opponent was jumping on their shields and the sudden weight on their arms almost made them break their formation.

Galum'nor finally regained his senses and the dizziness that he felt before. It faded away, but the pain from his wound was still there. Looking around, he saw their opponent jumping around the shields of the Yurakks. He grabbed his weapon, then sprinted towards the Yurakks.

Galum'nor patiently lurked nearby and waited for his chance. It didn't take long for the chance to be presented to him. He grabbed one of the tails of the Abyssal Felid, to which it responded with a loud roar after being caught off guard. The huge orc dropped his weapon down and grabbed the tail of their opponent with two hands. He pulled with all his strength and brought the Abyssal Felid to the ground with a loud crash.

Galum'nor grabbed the other two tails while his foe was still dazed and gripped them hard in his hands. He winded up and slammed the Abyssal Felid down on the ground like how he normally does with his sledgehammer. Left, right, front and back, he slammed the creature around with all his might and creating a cloud of dust as he do so. The Abyssal Felid kept on uttering whimpers of pain as Galum'nor kept on slamming it to the ground.

The huge orc set his pivot foot down and spun around and around before releasing his grip on the tails and sending it flying towards the tree where their goblin prisoners were tied to. A loud crash reverberated as the Abyssal Felid demolished the tree and plowed the goblins that were on its path. The poor goblins panicked as the creature was sent flying towards them. They tried to get out of the way, but the ropes that bounded them prevented them from doing so.

Xiao Chen stopped in his tracks and stared at the poor goblins who were accidentally or intentionally struck by Galum'nor. He glanced at the huge orc and saw him smirking in satisfaction, which would mean that he intentionally sent the Abyssal Felid to the goblins since they were cheering for the creature.

The commotion finally settled down as the poor goblins clammed their mouths as not to catch the attention of the creature as it shake its head to recover from its dazed state. Turning its head around, the Abyssal Felid stared menacingly at the goblins, who were shaking in fear. The goblins who were closer to the creature weren't able to control themselves as piss flowed out from between their legs.

Annoyed by the scent of urine, the Abyssal Felid snorted loudly, then decapitated those closest to it with a swipe of its claws. Blood spurted out of the headless necks and drenched those nearby. The goblins started to panic once again, which annoyed the predator among them more. The Abyssal Felid went on a slaughter fest as it butchered the goblins, who were running away in different directions, which caused more panic among them.

The ropes that bounded them were stretched as far as it could, but the goblins weren't able to escape from the predator that was slaughtering them. Shrieks of pain and panic echoed all throughout as the goblins run around escaping from their hunter but to no avail. Some smart goblins pretended to be dead and laid down on the ground and remained still. They were lucky as the Abyssal Felid ignored them and chased after those who were running around. Seeing that pretending to be dead is successful, many goblins copied their kin and laid down on the ground while remaining motionless. Some were unlucky enough to be stepped on by the Abyssal Felid, which forced them to utter a sound and earned them a fatal strike from their predator.

"About face! Maintain formation and advance forward!" Xiao Chen shouted his commands as he approached the grinning orc. He finally was able to notice the state that Galum'nor was in, crimson skin with steam oozing out from his body. It was the state that he was in when he held King Jaadul down, allowing him to land the deadly strike. Xiao Chen shook his head as he remembered giving King Jaadul an an*l experience which sounded really wrong when mentioned.

The trolls sprinted to the sides of their comrades who were slowly encircling the Abyssal Felid, which was rampaging among their goblin prisoners. They reformed their ranks at the rear and little Grogus was among them who was looking around, and uneasiness was apparent in his eyes. Grogus felt uneasy about the progress of the battle and pitied his brethren, despite them standing on opposing sides. He pitied them, that's all. There is no way that he will betray his current allies, he love his life more than his brethren; it was in the nature of the goblins to be selfish when their own lives are at stake. Their own lives first before anyone else.
