Into The Portal: Monster Invasion

Chapter 229: One Against All

Behind the duo, there were Tian Ling and Mihr Orril looking at Miles with hatred as well. Especially Tian Ling who was wearing a triumphant smile. Both of them had their guards up, ready to attack at any moment. After all, they saw how fast Marooner was before.

Marooner, I was waiting for this moment for such a long time. Tian Ling said with a smile.

So much so that you are working with her? Miles smirked as he pointed at the Starve Cleric girl with his head. Even you, Ms. Holmes?

Cut the crap. We only have the same goal, we are not working together. Eloise said with anger. She too didnt want to collaborate with Starve Cleric, but she didnt have any other choice. Her father gave her a task, and she was going to see through it.

I am here to clear the sinner of humanity. You killed fellow humans in an arena and kept the weapons of vanquish for your selfish reasons. Therefore, you are sentenced to die. She said haughtily. Miles felt anger rising in his body. He was boiling with rage.

Haha! You are sentencing me to death? With what authority? What he hated most was people showing themselves holy just with stupid reasons to blame others. Tian Ling did the same when Miles let his men die when he first entered the Portal World, now she was doing the same. It is time to pay back!

No need to waste our breaths. Lets kill him and be done with it. Mihr Orril said and fished out a sword orb. After it was charged, he clutched the sword firmly in his hand. There was a small sheen on his hand, ready to burst any second.

Alright then, come! Miles said as he grabbed Cody and threw him behind him. Run when you find a chance!

I I cant! I brought this trouble to you! Cody said and looked below in shame.

You will only stand in my way. Run! Then you can pay it back. Miles said and charged in front and attacked five waiting in the cave at the beginning with his punch. He secretly circulated a little amount of energy to strengthen his punches and charged them with electricity from the armor. His fist exploded when it clashed with the one at the forefront. The man grimaced when their fists collided and took several steps back. A short second later cracks were heard in the cave and the man flew back to the person behind him.

He didnt stop his movements, as he felt the four at the entrance were dashing at his location. Luckily, he was the fastest in the cave thanks to four strengthening serums and armor increasing his speed. Compared to him, the rest were only mortals.

Miles was like a phantom, appearing and disappearing among them before they could react. His maximum speed after four serums was close to 300 km/h. A leap and he was tens of meters away from where he was standing.

Maroon armor quickly washed by blood as he punched people who were readying their attacks. By the time the four arrived near him, Miles had punched away ten of them. All were lying on the ground, wincing in pain.

Miles looked at the four and turned his back to the group coming out from the wall. The four were more dangerous than the other 20 of them. So, he faced them.

He is faster than before. He must be close to the level up to Form-Rank. The Starve Cleric girl commented.

Lets attack together, Eloise said as flames born in her hand. She bent the flames and flames obeyed her will. Not long later, they formed vine-like tentacles, ready to surround anyone defying her. Miles looked at her with his eyes squinted ready to dodge any second. He knew Starve Cleric had blood elemental powers and couldnt attack from a distance when the target was not bleeding. But if he had any injury, it would be catastrophic.

Ling and Orril were still in sync. Tian Ling was creating water pillars while Mihr Orril was hiding his sword in them. There were some empty water pillars too.

Elemental Vision

Miles activated his elemental vision to tell apart the empty water pillars from those with the light swords. The cave wasnt too big and water pillars were everywhere, so he had to take some of the damage to evade others. When there were five to ten water pillars coming his way, he could only defend some of the hits.

He looked at the cannon fodders behind him and positioned himself accordingly. When water pillars were just in front of him, he dodged the pillars with a sword and then punched the one empty to break the surface tension. After the water got soft, he let it hit his body so he was able to stay on his ground. But the rest of the pillars hit dead onto the hunters behind him.

Pillars knocked almost half of them and swords pinned some unlucky ones. Miles was soaked wet too, so electricity was cracking on his armor. In normal times, the armor was preventing electricity from leaking in, protecting him from the armor's own element. But because it wasnt fully healed yet and he was soaked, the electricity shocked him as well.

He felt his body was going numb, but the warm current circulating in his body was helping him to negotiate the numbness a little. But he was still a little lethargic.

Miles had no chance to rest. Before he could catch his breath, the Starve Cleric girl was in front of her swinging her blade. The blade looked extremely sharp and vicious. It was aiming for the hole in his chest, where the ram pierced with its horn. Although it was mostly healed, there was still a hand-size hole over the right side of his chest, and the blade was going there.
