Chapter 195 On the Verge of Collapse

Words : 1048 Updated : Oct 1st, 2025
195 On the Verge of Collapse It's him! So he's that powerful! Elder Aegris was stunned when he saw the Transcendent human bulldozing his way through the enemy formation. He was like a meat grinder that tore apart the goblins that blocked his path! He swung the two-handed broadsword with such ease that it looked like he was wielding a light weapon. Not far from this Transcendent human was another figure. He was an older warrior wielding a double-bladed spear. Although he wasn't as ferocious as the other guy, he was stable and skilled. He didn't even need to use his mana to kill the goblins. With just a few casual strikes, the goblins fell under his blade. The sudden appearance of these two Transcendent Knights gave hope to the elven warriors. "Our reinforcements are here! Quickly head toward them!" Rosalie shouted to the elven warriors. Hearing her words, the elven warriors didn't hesitate. They released their remaining mana, strengthening themselves for this final push! At this moment, Rosalie was still occupied by the two goblin monarchs. Both monsters were formidable so she couldn't afford to be careless. Meanwhile, Elder Sunset, Elder Aegris, and Elder Dahon were fighting with the other two goblin monarchs. They held the advantage in numbers, but they couldn't even overpower the monsters. Shit! I was distracted! Elder Aegris retracted his gaze from Galanar and focused his attention on the two goblin monarchs. With a stomp of his foot, he summoned multiple thorny vines that twisted like serpents as they lunged toward the monsters. The goblin monarchs weren't flustered upon sensing the vines. With just a few slashes of their weapons, the thick vines were cut into pieces and fell to the ground. Dammit! Just how powerful are these monsters?! Elder Aegris felt a wave of fatigue. He grabbed his aching head and forced himself to stand on his feet. He had depleted his mana and it was causing serious pain to his body, especially to his head. He could feel his heart throbbing erratically. Blood leaked out from his nose and he was starting to feel dizzy. Just as he was about to collapse from mana exhaustion, a sharp voice drifted into his ears. "Aegris!" He weakly turned his head while wiping off the blood that was leaking out from his nose. He saw Elder Sunset, staring at him with a worried look. "I am fine!" His pride didn't allow him to look weak in front of her. Elder Sunset appeared to his side to check his condition and she frowned upon discovering that his mana had been depleted. "Why?! You should have saved some of your mana to protect yourself!" Elder Aegris scoffed at her words. "I am the rear support. How could I let our warriors die?" He muttered. Elder Sunset was surprised to hear these words from him. This guy was arrogant and held humans in disdain, but he was caring for his fellow elves. "Can you still walk?" She asked, her voice softening. Elder Aegris nodded, sweat trickling down his face. "Stop worrying about me. I can take care of my own." He replied. Elder Sunset stared deeply at him and said. "Just stay behind me and recover your mana. We will need your help later." Hearing this, Elder Aegris snorted. "You don't need to tell me." She no longer bothered with him and focused on supporting Elder Dahon who was holding back the two goblin monarchs. The poor Transcendent elven warrior was already covered in blood. His heavy armor was torn in many places and his mana was also close to exhaustion. He looked even worse than Elder Aegris. "Just hold on a bit longer, Elder Dahon!" Elder Sunset shouted when she noticed his condition. The muscular elf didn't have the energy to respond. He was barely holding on. Just one strong blow was enough to take him down. The goblin monarchs also realized this so they decided to focus their attacks on him. Under the fierce attacks of the monsters, Elder Dahon could only defend himself. He didn't even bother to go on the offensive. My movements are starting to slow down. I can't hold on anymore. I'm tired. Due to his exhaustion, there was a momentary lapse in his defense which gave the goblin monarchs the chance to land a heavy blow to his abdomen. Argh! Elder Dahon was sent back a few meters and he almost fell on his knee because of the impact. The severe blow broke some of his ribs, making him grimace in pain. "Elder Dahon!" He heard someone calling out his name, but his vision was starting to get blurry and his hearing was also affected. He spat another mouthful of blood, and this time, he fell to his knee. He clutched his abdomen while keeping his eyes on the approaching goblin monarchs. He let out a weary sigh as he muttered. "I'm tired..." He could no longer move his arms and standing up seemed so impossible. He tried to circulate his mana, but he could only release wisps of energy which was barely enough to keep his eyes open. Just then, a series of thunder arrows went past him and shot toward the goblin monarchs. Bang! Bang! Bang! "Elder Dahon! Stand up! I will buy you some time to retreat!" Elder Dahon heard Elder Sunset's urgent voice, but he couldn't muster an ounce of strength from his body. I'm sorry, Elder Sunset, but my body is no longer listening to me... "Dahon, you damn bastard! Didn't you fucking say that no one could make you fall?! Look at you now! Stand up you fucking idiot!" An irritating voice drifted into his ears. Aegris, that piece of shit... Elder Dahon's lips curved upward. Even that guy is cheering me on. He gritted his teeth and pushed his knee, forcing himself to get up. "I won't fall here!" He shouted, blood trickling down the corner of his lips. With great difficulty, he finally managed to stand up. So painful... His abdomen was screaming in pain and just standing on his feet was taking a great toll on his body.
