BXBX NOVEL Chapter 2015 A Path
While Theo fought with his grandfather, there was also another grandfather fighting against multiple King Class Monsters.
He was none other than Leonardo, the War Saint. As expected, even though Theo seemed to have predicted everything. The number of the World Class Monsters surpassed Theo\'s original expectations.
If not for the fact that the Magma Dragon was coming to help, they wouldn\'t have enough people to take care of the enemy\'s World Class Monsters.
That was why they were in the current predicament. Theo simply didn\'t have enough time to kill more King Class Monsters.
In other words, the slime managed to counter Theo\'s plan with his overwhelming number.
Still, the slime might be able to win the first battle, but it was still within Theo\'s imagination. If the magma dragon didn\'t come, he could easily ask someone to handle two World Class Monsters. There were a few people qualified to do that like the Goddess of Death or even Theo himself.
That was why Theo managed to act that casually despite the shock.
Though, they had another problem. Due to the surprise, Theo couldn\'t kill enough King Class Monsters.
That was why the current him had to face five King Class Monsters by himself. His strength might not be as strong as Felix, but his versatile power and intelligence gave him the confidence to defeat Felix.
However, five King Class Monsters were still too much for him to handle. At the same time, there were also other King Class Monsters. Even the weaker Transcendent Level Experts had to fight more enemies than they currently could afford to.
\'Well, well… How can we win this battle?\' Leonardo looked around. Three of the five King Class Monsters moved forward, approaching him.
They moved so fast that they easily slipped past the pawns Leonardo summoned.
Unfortunately for them, Leonardo was known as a War Saint. Even a simple position he used, like it was just a random position, had a meaning behind it.
When they slipped past the pawns, they were immediately barraged by a number of attacks.
Two of them met the rooks that slammed their shields to stop them, followed by a strike from the bishops. The last King Class Monster was stopped by two Knights at once and almost got injured because they were so overwhelmed by the knights that they failed to see the pawns coming from behind.
As for the other two King Class Monsters, they had been completely stopped by the queen and king.
It looked like the War Saint managed to stop five King Class Monsters, but he turned out to be barely keeping up with them. The only reason why Leonardo was able to stop them was because they were coming at him directly.
If they just ignored him and continued moving toward the army, even he wouldn\'t be able to stop all of them. Even in the current situation, he was using a lot of power. The strategy that kept revolving in order to stop the enemies took a toll on his mind.
If the battle continued like this for another hour, he would certainly be defeated.
Hence, the War Saint took advantage of the current situation to keep the monsters away from the army while thinking of a solution.
\'This does not look good. I can use all my power here, but I doubt it will be useful since I have to kill at least two of them before returning to the base.
\'The others are also at a disadvantage. If I don\'t help them soon, the yellow line will crumble. That\'s the last thing we want since the red line is holding the enemy so well…\'
The War Saint kept racking his brain to find a solution to the current solution. But due to the lack of people that could fight against King Class Monsters, there was simply no viable option.
\'Tsk. This is annoying. The army is holding a huge number of monsters. Even the unique monsters are going their way. It\'s already surprising that the army doesn\'t collapse…
\'The reason for that must be my old friend…\' The War Saint could easily imagine the pope healing hundreds if not thousands of people at once. That was the reason why the army could hold back a huge number of unique monsters.
\'If only the Mafia Queen is here, we can certainly have an easier time. But Theo\'s plan in stationing the Mafia Queen inside the base is correct since we can force the Time God to go to the battlefield.
\'When he comes back, he should be able to kill a few King Class Monsters before heading to the slime.
\'But we don\'t know when he will come. According to Theo, he will come within thirty minutes after the Mafia Queen confirms it… But before that, one or two Transcendent Level Experts on our side might have fallen…\'
The War Saint clicked his tongue. He couldn\'t find a single ray of hope to turn around the situation.
\'…\' The War Saint couldn\'t help but recall what Theo said beforehand.
Back then, Theo stated it clearly. "I want you to hear and consider my words carefully. In this battle, I can\'t guarantee that you will survive. Even I can\'t guarantee my own survival, so I want to warn you that you might die in the battle. That\'s how dangerous the enemy we\'re going to face. But if you are prepared to lay down your life, then please follow me. I promise that I\'ll do my best to lead us to victory."
When he remembered these words, his expression turned grim. His eyes looked cold, not because he was skeptical about these words but because he was ready.
Even Theo might die in this battle. So, an old man like him would have a high chance of dying as well. The Transcendent Level Experts around him might die as well.
That was why he changed his way of thinking.
\'It\'s impossible to keep everyone alive. Knowing that fact, what can I do now?\' Leonardo\'s expression changed as he looked forward, as if he could see something beyond this world.
