Chapter 175 Stalemate
The greatsword wielded by Drake pierced Set's right chest, while Set's thunder spear barely pierced Drake's armor, leaving a shallow scar on his body.
Drake gripped the hilt of the sword tightly with both hands and pushed it diagonally, apparently intending to cut Seth's chest directly open.
Feeling the severe pain of his body being cut, Seth's eyes turned fierce and he detonated the Thunder Spear.
With a loud bang, Drake was blown away. The violent thunder moved under his armor, burning his skin with high temperature and bringing a strong electric current that paralyzed his body. He forced himself to stabilize his body, with a trace of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, looking at Set in the distance.
Seth was not feeling well either. The scales on his entire right arm were shattered and blown into a bloody mess. The wound on his chest was bleeding continuously.
Seth gritted his teeth. Although this level of injury was not enough to take his life, it did affect his movements. Fortunately, the opponent was weaker than him. The highly compressed thunder spear exploded at close range, and the paralyzing effect caused by the violent lightning would not disappear in a short time.
As expected, although Drake can move now, his speed is much slower. With the super-high mobility brought by Three Thousand Thunders, Seth can finally use the kite-flying tactics instead of fighting Drake in close combat.
Just as Set used his speed and magic to restrain Drake, the situation on the battlefield below was not very optimistic for the Disaster Clan.
Salman, Kansaros and Austin were not inferior to their opponents in singles, but they could not resist fighting two at a time in order to relieve the pressure on others.
Basically, even if the three of them used all their strength, they could just about defend themselves. As for attacking, that was out of the question.
The condition of the three of them was already considered good. Hogg, Seran and Hart relied on their recovery ability to withstand the attacks from the opposite side. They were pure human sandbags.
But fortunately, they were still able to hold on. The better news was that under the continuous bombardment, the 300,000 soldiers of the Holy Flame Empire, even with several seventh-level senior commanders, did not gain much advantage. They were even suppressed by the desperate attacks of the Disaster Clan warriors. Although the battle situation was deadlocked, it was still unknown when the Disaster Clan would win.
Seeing that the situation had stabilized, Soros, the commander-in-chief on the battlefield, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
And so the war lasted for a day and a night.
Although the soldiers on both sides are the best in terms of individual qualities, war is no different from other wars. It is not only physically demanding, but also mentally demanding.
Now the soldiers of both sides have reached their limit, and their respective commanders have ordered the soldiers to come back and rest.
The high-level fighters, after fighting for such a long time, all realized that the opponent could not be defeated easily, and went back to rest tacitly, except for Drake, who was almost losing his mind due to Seth's continuous explosions.
Just after all the high-level combat forces came back, Joseph didn't see Drake. He guessed that he might have been beaten to a head, so he couldn't help but sigh, used magic power to create a pair of wings, and flew straight to the battlefield in the sky.
Soros also noticed that Seth had not returned, so he asked Harvey to pick up Seth.
On the battlefield above, Seth and Drake were not in as good of a condition as those below, and basically both sides were fighting for their lives.
When Harvey and Joseph arrived, the dragon wing on one side of Seth was chopped off, and he had to use wings condensed from thunder to maintain his flight. Not only that, Seth had wounds of varying sizes on his body, the deepest of which had exposed the bones that were almost chopped off, and even one side of his face was covered in blood from the attack.
Drake is indeed in much better shape than Set. Although his armor is torn, he doesn't have many scars on his body. He's just consumed a lot of energy. If he is given some more time, he can indeed kill Set.
It can be seen that as a giant dragon, even if it is one level lower than humans, it is enough to compete with them with its strong foundation.
Just when Seth and Drake wanted to continue fighting, Harvey and Joseph arrived at the same time and blocked both sides.
Seeing this, Seth also breathed a sigh of relief. In the previous battle, he had been thinking about whether to use his trump card. If the target was only Drake, he felt it was a real loss. Fortunately, Harvey came and he could take a break.
Harvey saw that Seth, who usually talked a lot, didn't say anything, and knew that he was very tired, so he nodded to let Seth take care of it and let Seth go back to rest first.
And Seth did not insist and flew downwards.
Seeing this, Drake was about to chase after him, but was stopped by Joseph.
Seeing Drake's obviously abnormal condition, Joseph frowned and shouted in a deep voice: "Drake! Wake up!"
Hearing this roar, his mind, which was filled with the desire to kill Seth, suddenly became clear, and he also realized that something was wrong with him.
Seeing that Drake had returned to normal, although Joseph was confused about his previous condition, he knew that now was not the time to think about those things, and then turned to look at Harvey.
"A temporary truce."
Hearing this, Harvey nodded and rushed towards the Disaster Clan. However, even though he knew that Joseph was a warrior with high moral character in the previous battle, Harvey still kept some of his attention on Joseph just in case. Fortunately, after he finished speaking, Joseph took Drake away.
Seth returned to the camp of the Disaster Clan and looked at the injured warriors around him along the way. He didn't say a word until he walked to the tent, shrunk his body and walked in. At first glance, he saw Hogg and the others who looked even worse than himself, and then he saw Salman and the others who were sitting aside with their eyes closed to rest.
"Seth, are you okay?"
Hearing Soros' words, Seth was stunned. Thinking of the battle he had just finished, he also used magic power to condense a water mirror to check his current appearance.
When Seth saw the horrific appearance of half of his face covered in blood and flesh, and looked at Soros' worried expression, his heart warmed.
"It's okay, mother. I'm a dragon. These are just minor injuries."
As he spoke, Seth urged the injury on his face to heal quickly so as not to worry Soros.
Seeing this, Soros sighed. He knew Set's recovery speed. Compared with before, his recovery from injuries was more than ten times slower. It was obvious that he had consumed too much energy.
"I'll still help you with the treatment."
Soros came in front of Set, and a soft emerald green healing magic lit up in his palm, which he placed on Set's injured cheek.
Feeling Soros's warm palm, Seth closed his eyes tiredly.
After all the injuries on his body were healed, Soros sat on the edge of the bed and let Seth rest his head on his legs.
Seeing the deep worry for himself in Soros' eyes, Seth took a deep breath.
The current situation is that if a fighting force can be released, the balance can be broken. With the advantage in numbers, the Disaster Clan may not need Ronnie to come back to win the war.
As for how to break the balance, Set has already thought about it. He will just wait for the next battle and find a chance to strike a big blow to the opponent. After all, he has been accumulating trump cards for so long, it should be enough.
