BXBX NOVEL Chapter 638 No Choice
----------------
THREE HOURS AGO.
Inside the 50 kilometers wide isolation barrier that sealed Kahn, Venessa and now deceased Hector along with the Hero\'s Party… was a decimated and burning battlefield.
BOOM!!
CRACKLE!!
The six members of the hero\'s party were riddled with wounds and hard 2nd-degree burn marks while seeping blood from many injuries. All of them were being healed using health and Stamina recovery potions while a massive and flickering protection barrier was constantly getting bombarded by massive meteor-like fireballs, each big enough to destroy a group of thousand soldiers instantly.
The loud noises of the bombarding fireballs resounded and sent tremors in the 15 kilometer range, hundreds of massive crevices formed in the ground while thousands of trees and plants set ablaze as a gigantic flying creature hovered in the sky, creating and launching these fireballs at the hero\'s party incessantly.
Kahn also gazed at this enormous creature that was even twice larger than Oliver in his Thunderbird form.
[Kahn! Run away, you idiot! Their target is me. But they will kill you for certain if you stay.
I will create an opening for you. Use it and leave because I can\'t maintain this form for long.] this bird creature transmitted its thoughts to Kahn.
An hour ago, after Axel sneakily killed Hector and sent the recording Venessa used 100% of her bloodline and transformed into a one kilometer tall bird creature.
Her head looked like that of a swan with a sharp and pointy yellow beak. Two rainbow-like ginormous wings that spanned 400 meters were fully spread across the battlefield. A 200 meter long red feathery tail and an overall iridescent blue and green plumage body akin to a peacock now flew high in the sky.
On the border of the wings and the chest area was a thick layer of golden armor, part of Venessa\'s original armor that too had transformed along with her.
But even so… this form was not a fully developed form since the transformation had no legs or talons as Venessa was only a 1st stage saint originally.
After this transformation she achieved by using her imperial primordial bloodline, her strength and aura were comparable to a peak 3rd stage saint while she gained the ability to summon massive fireballs and firestorms constantly with her newfound abilities.
[The moment I try to retreat, they will target me instead. And then you will be forced into taking a defensive stance instead of attacking them.
It will give them opportunities to attack you. In the end, you will also lose your chance to kill them and it will change the direction of the battle.] replied Kahn as he analyzed the situation.
[Huh… how does he know of battle tactics so well?] thought Venessa.
All she heard from Kahn was indeed the case. The moment she was distracted and lost the prerogative, they will turn into the losing side.
Venessa aimed to break this barrier and destroy the cross Axel held in his hands which was the very thing keeping this barrier active. Otherwise, there was no way for them to escape.
[Other than me, Jugram and Rudra, possibly Blackwall… no one can stand this type of heat.] thought Kahn to himself after seeing the intensity of the fire released from Venessa\'s attacks.
As for him leaving… he could easily do so but a Blacksmith using a Space Law ability would risk revealing his identity. On top of it, Venessa would be stuck here, left at the mercy of the hero\'s party after her transformation period ended.
At this moment, because Axel and Azerog, who were a peak 3rd stage and 4th stage saints respectively; had taken the lead… Venessa was unable to suppress the enemy side and destroy the barrier completely.
She also hadn\'t developed her primordial form properly yet and could only exert strength up to peak 3rd stage saint so even her biggest trump card couldn\'t turn the tide of the battle.
Kahn on the other end didn\'t intervene directly because from his understanding of the battle so far, their intention seemed to capture Venessa without hurting her and not kill her like they killed Hector whose corpse was placed on the other side of the battlefield.
Although he could help using his dimensional law skills, none of it would go unnoticed by any parties because there were no weaklings here and the enemy side had fighters who were above by 2 to 3 stages.
On top of it, Kahn still hadn\'t seen Axel use any of his Divine Abilities or the Divine Weapon.
He didn\'t want to waltz into the battlefield like an idiot, thinking he could win just because he had a plethora of skills. In the end, knowing your enemy\'s moves could help you dictate the flow of the battle while overestimating yourself will lead you to certain death.
Because of these reasons, Kahn still hadn\'t acted out and patiently waited to gauge the enemy side\'s battle prowess, all of their skills and abilities while deciding who would be the best to use against them.
Another hour passed and finally, Venessa lost her ability to maintain the form. The ginormous body started shrinking and a massive cloud of smoke formed around her body.
"Go! Capture her!" shouted Axel and the party members quickly surrounded Venessa who was completely weakened, barely able to fly in the sky as her world energy reserves were almost depleted.
The party members activated 6 identical artifacts and trapped Venessa, whose face was full of sweat under a one kilometer wide suppression barrier again.
BOOM!!
CRACK!!
But as soon as it was formed, a massive 500 meter greatsword composed of six different elements suddenly appeared in the air out of nowhere and quickly struck the suppression barrier, instantly breaking it apart.
"Looks like no reinforcements are coming in the end." a loud voice suddenly resounded in the air and a man adorning a dark gray longcoat appeared next to Venessa.
"Let\'s not drag the fight than it already has." said this man and a black greatsword suddenly appeared in his hand.
He looked around at the baffled expressions of everyone including Axel and spoke in a domineering voice…
"Alright, boys… let\'s get to work!"
