Chapter 1010 1012: Emotions
The atmosphere on the scene was oppressive and the sound of gunfire was mixed with the screams of monsters. They had just been killed and more came out endlessly. They trampled on the bodies of their former comrades without care and continued to attack.
It looked extremely desperate.
On the human's side, bullets and various spells or attacks poured down like torrent, raining down fiercely against the magic beasts' tide. And facing the rank 8 magic beast was Peter who stood bravely, blocking the path and trying to kill it. There were also some other rank 7 magic beasts that were handled by either the rank 7 warrior from the Martial Arts Association, the one from the military, and even the rank 7 magician was helping from the back.
The weaker ones were also fighting hard, including the magicians from the Magic Association that Riya threw over. They cast spells, used guns, or even other weapons, to kill the lower ranked magic beasts.
It was obvious that everyone was fighting desperately.
Dina was not quiet either as she launched various magic from the back, killing the rank 7 magic beast almost instantly from time to time to help them all.
Standing on top of the base, Riya had a panoramic view of everything.
She could see various magic beasts were crawling out of the passage. There were fierce reptile like magic beasts, weird elemental magic beasts, flying magic beasts, and even water type magic beasts.
On the front left, a huge one horned dragon turtle magic beast was rampaging and approaching the newly built base walls.
On the right side, several story high octopus like magic beast was stretching its tentacle, trying to sweep through the soldiers.
And directly in front of her, a large rank 8 snake like magic beast had just came out with its body twisting.
Riya saw other various magic beasts that crawled out.
Some were smart enough to sneak behind their so called comrades to wait for a chance but some others were stupid and simply recklessly charging forward.
When Samuel was the one who fought, there was simply no chance for her to take a look closely. Because at that time, Samuel would be able to handle the magic beasts cleanly and not letting even a single one of them get close to her.
He will protect her and he always kept his words.
But now, Riya saw clearly how it would be without her and Samuel protecting the frontline.
Humans will struggle.
She had never seen it before.
As City A Base would always deploy the formation that she left behind, effectively protecting everyone behind the formation. There was not much risk for them to kill the magic beasts as long as they were not stupid enough.
Now that she watched this scene, her heart trembled like never before.
It turns out...
This is how war actually is.
They all stood up not just to fight against the magic beasts but also to protect the people behind them.
Stand tall on this frontline that could never be allowed to fall, guarding the peace of the city bases behind them, protecting your family members and also the future of future generations.
No one knew how many magic beasts will come out.
No one knew whether these magic beasts will ever stop.
No one knew if they could kill all of these magic beasts.
But no matter what, everyone had the strong conviction that they have to step forward and fight.
Not just for themselves but for those whom they wanted to protect.
At this moment, mana surged around Riya as she focused her attention on the passage that was opened up in the distance. She has no other distracting thoughts and her hands moved, forming the formation that she had learned but never used before.
Because this is a powerful rank 9 formation.
Her mana was barely enough to use it.
She had to use the mana in the air to aid her in forming this formation.
Even though Riya was basically the person with the highest amount of mana in the entire Green Planet, it would not be easy for her to use this formation.
While she never tried it before, but Riya was not afraid and possibly also didn't care at this very moment.
Because she just wanted to be able to do something.
Both for herself and for those whom she wanted to protect.
Samuel, who was standing beside Riya, was the first person to feel clearly the explosion of mana from Riya. At their ranks, they would usually control their mana strictly.
After all, fighting against these magic beasts might last for a long time.
None of them were willing to waste their mana.
They had to calculate their mana carefully and kill as many magic beasts as possible in the shortest period of time.
He turned his head and saw Riya's expression.
Even though Samuel didn't know what she was thinking, but for a moment, he was reminded on the time when he first encountered the grand magic beasts' tide.
There was anger, frustration, and pressure.
Some other people also couldn't hold back when they saw the scene that they made a move in a fit of anger.
The high ranked professions never stopped them.
Samuel was once confused about the reason because these people were basically wasting their mana in a supposedly prolonged war.
But his father only look at him and said one sentence, "We're all human being."
Human beings with emotions and rational side.
Even though their rational side has to be much stronger than their emotional side because of their profession and their path forward, they still have their emotional side.
And stopping these people would not do them any good.
Let them vent.
When they were done venting their emotions, they will feel much better and might even make improvement in their path.
So Samuel simply took a few steps back, preventing himself to disturb Riya's formation.
Even if he knew it was unlikely that a person's presence could disturb Riya's current concentration, but what if?
He didn't want to make trouble.
And these magic beasts...
He also wanted to make a move.
Swish!
Mana surged and the color of the sky and the earth changed, the wind and cloud stirred, and strong pressure heavily swept across all direction.
