The Transmigrated Novelist

Master Gorg's warning was a tad bit too late, as the soldiers' cries of pain immediately followed his words of warning.

Even Roy was unable to understand what was going on for a few moments, as the perimeter didn't seem to have been breached at first.

In fact, everything seemed exactly like the first time, and the beasts shouldn't have been able to break the barrier so fast.

It didn't make sense! What happened!?

But those first 7 cries of pain were just the start, as just like a chain when the weakest link is broken, the outer defensive perimeter of the small army had been destroyed.

'Aaarrrggghhhh…, aaaarrrgghhhh…, aaaarrrrggghhhh…'

Immediately after more screams followed the first round as a lot more soldiers seemed to have turned into blood corpses.

The beasts didn't seem to have a specific way of killing them, as they were bit, scratched, stepped, squished, and so on.

One thing was clear though the more that these beasts drew blood from the soldiers, and smelled that blood, their bloodshot eyes seemed to glow even redder.

It felt like the human's blood was like some kind of aphrodisiac for them, making them even fiercer, and even more ferocious.

Not even Master Gorg or the Masters beside Young Noble Fjord had been able to react before the first line of defense completely turned into a small bloody circle.

But they were ready to protect the second line at least, as they immediately started launching their attacks towards the beasts stopping their wave.

"Don't create holes you damn bastards, there are snakes amidst this wave!"

It was only at that point that not only the soldiers but even Roy understood why this happened. There were snakes amidst the beasts this time.

Normally one wouldn't expect a snake to be affected by the Bewitching Powder, as their venomous body would easily disperse it once it entered their bodies.

That was also the reason why there were no snakes on the first try. So, the presence of the snakes this time was quite unexpected for the Masters, which caught them by surprise.

Even Roy couldn't help but feel a bit surprised at the presence of the Snakes but remembering the fact that these guys had found the lair of the Green Horn Snake things became easier to understand.

It seems like he had truly underestimated the plans of Master Troy and Young Noble Clark. Which made him even more conscious of his situation, and surroundings.

Thinking like this he felt that his previous actions had been extremely wise, as the moment that the battle commenced he had already changed his position and created some more distance.

That was also one of the reasons why he hadn't been able to understand what was going on there, without hearing Master Gorg's words.

While Roy was thinking like that, the soldiers and Masters fighting the beasts on the ground were in quite the situation.

'Swish…, swoosh…, swish…'

In order to take control of the battle once again the masters concentrated on killing the snakes first, and then dealing with the rest of the beasts, but those damn snakes were too just too good in hiding.

The moment that they felt the danger looming over their heads, they immediately started hiding behind the soldiers' shields, or the rest of the beasts in the wave.

With how chaotic the battle was, it was almost impossible to find them easily, so the Masters could only attack their last seen spots.

It was impossible to hit their own soldiers' shields, and their positions, as that would break the defense line, so they had to give up from those hiding below.

The snakes didn't hide for long though, as the moment that the snakes on the ground felt like they had an opportunity, they slid over the shields attacking the soldiers holding the shields.

Seeing these actions of the snakes, the Masters behind Young Noble Fjord and Master Gorg acted quickly with the intention of killing the snakes.

'swoosh…, boom…'

Who would have expected that the moment that one of the soldiers felt the weight of the snake on his shield, as the snakes were at least 6 meters long, weighing more than 20kg each.

He jumped in fright and try to parry it away, but his sudden reaction wasn't registered by the Master who was supposed to kill that particular snake and his attack exploded the soldier's head.

Blood and pieces exploded at that moment, falling all over the armors, helmets, and bodies of the soldiers on his side, and behind him.

Everyone who was hit by the blood was stunned, as they couldn't understand or believe what had just happened, as they turned their heads behind.

That was the stupidest thing that they could do at the moment though, because the beasts seemed to have gotten even more ferocious, breaking the second line of defense.

The Master who had failed in his attack could only look with a strange gaze towards his target, which had clearly escaped death, and quickly made its way towards the third line of defense.

He couldn't believe his mistake and miss, as he didn't even know how to justify himself in front of Young Noble Fjord.

Normally this wouldn't have been much of a problem, as it was just a miss of timing, but the problem was that just earlier in the day there had been the act of betrayal from other soldiers.

'swoosh~!'

The quickest to react from all the people present was clearly Master Gorg, who directly set his index finger as a sword, and sent a small crescent sword energy towards the slithering snake beast.

His sword energy cut the snake beasts head but also awakened from their stupor Young Noble Fjord and the others.

'swoosh~!'

Without hesitating in the least, Young Noble Fjord quickly sent a wind blade towards the Master who missed, cutting his head from his shoulders.

His action was swift and decisive, and it could be said to be the best in this situation, clearly awakening even the soldiers of the third defense line to not lose their concentration.

But even if they turned to their posts in fear, none of them was in their right state of mind, as no one knew if there would be another guy like the Master who acted earlier.

In fact, even Master Gorg's face was a bit dark, gloomy, and ugly seeing what happened, but he still didn't say anything as he just kept dealing with the snakes and Rank 3 beasts.

All the Masters around Young Noble Fjord seemed to have weird and complicated looks on their faces, but none of them said anything either.

They could only pray that they didn't make any mistake, or that there truly wasn't a traitor amidst them, otherwise, they would all lose their lives.

In that state though, the soldiers of the defensive line weren't able to hold for longer under the barrage of the beasts, who seemed to have gotten even worse when the second line fell.

Even though these guys were all stronger warriors than the first two defensive lines, it was still impossible for them to hold on for long.

'Aaarrrggghhh~!'

Suddenly a snake appeared under their shields, from a God knows where hole, and bit one of the soldiers in the defensive line.

Once again the dominoes effect took place, and the whole defensive line fell apart in just 10 to 20 seconds.

With the fall of the third line of defense, the beasts seemed to have reached the peak of their craziness as they shot like arrows towards the mages.

On the other hand, even though they saw the fall of the third line of defense the mages didn't immediately disperse and get discouraged, as some of them formed shields while the others attacked.

But their courage and determination lasted only for less than 10 minutes, as even they couldn't keep a constant burn of their magic power.

The moment they felt that their emergency reserves were being depleted, the mages didn't seem to care about serving their Young Noble anymore, as they quickly jumped for escape.

They all used their reserves as propellers of their jump, in order to pass the cordon of the beasts and run away, but unfortunately, a lot of them couldn't even make it 2 or 3 meters above the ground.

The reason for their death wasn't the beasts' wave, but their Young Noble Fjord and the Rank 4 Warrior by his side.

Their action was stronger than any possible word, whoever tried to run away would be clearly killed on the spot.

But even their ruthless actions weren't able to keep the mages and archers in their places, as they still decided to take their chances and try to escape.

Perhaps at this moment, they thought how lucky, and smart was that guy who left their side at first.

If they had another shot at this perhaps they would have done the same or chosen another way. Unfortunately, there is no medicine for regret.

Witnessing all this Roy didn't have much of an opinion on what happened, as in fact, he had expected this to happen.

Furthermore, it was clear that Young Noble Fjord seemed to have been using them as a sort of open weakness.

With those soldiers out of the way, Master Gorg, Young Noble Fjord, and the other Masters by his side would have to fight themselves from now on and expend their energy.

These beasts weren't enough to endanger their lives, but those watching from the shadows clearly were.

Roy couldn't help but feel a bit excited right now, as it was finally for the real entertainment to begin…
