480 Race against time (part 3)


    “Why are you guys staring, don’t let it get up!” Major Reeves said snapping the rest out of their reverie as they began raining spells on the ck tortoise.


    …


    On the other side of the battlefield…


    The battle between the major generals had gotten more than the attention of everyone and everything in the area.


    The collisions of their spells not only destroyed the environment, but they also constantly affected the fights of those around them both positively and negatively.


    [At this rate things would get ugly.] The system said as they watched the fight between the demigods and the ck tortoise.


    ‘How do you mean?’ ke couldn’t help but ask. ‘It is obvious that the only thing still keeping the ck tortoise alive is the mana pir.’


    “Besides, during the beast tide, it took only 2 peak demigods to take down an emperor-tier beast, let alone 4 working together. So even if they are not able to take it down before its evolution isplete, they would do so after.” ke exined.


    [You are right about them being able to handle an emperor-level beast, but you are overlooking several things.] the system continued with its exnation.


    .....


    [The first is that the ck tortoise is basically undying at the moment, and even after the evolution process, they wouldn’t have enough mana to kill it, especially at this rate.]


    [Secondly, you have to remember that it is turning berserk, meaning it would be stronger than a newly evolved emperor beast, thus further reducing their chances of victory.]


    [Finally, what I am most worried about is you guys, not them. If it eventually goes berserk, I am not sure they would be able to protect themselves and all of you at the same time.] The system said making ke realize what was really happening.


    ‘What do you suggest I do cause from the looks of things I don’t think we have much time?’ ke asked the system as he saw that some patches of the ck shell had turned to chromastone.


    For the evolution to start appearing on the outside it means it has progressed quite a lot even though its evolution would continue for about an hour or more.


    The reason ke felt they needed to rush was that as the evolution process went on, not only would the ck tortoise get stronger, but it would unlock new physical and magical abilities and attributes; thus making the task more difficult.


    [If you get involved, you wouldn’t be able to withstand the shockwaves from the shing of spells. So the only thing you can do at the moment is send Ebony and Ivory to help them.] The system said.


    ‘Are you sure they would be useful to the fight?’ ke couldn’t help but ask.


    [From what I can see, Ebony and Ivory are exactly what they need to win this battle.] The system said.


    The main reason the battle had gone on for so long was that the major generals were unable to get physical with the ck tortoise, and this was because of the mana pir.


    The mana pir was a catalyst that increased the sess of a beast’s evolution and also a form of protection given by nature.


    The mana being absorbed by the beast during evolution was used to rapidly heal their body as it was being torn from the inside out, but in a case where nothing needs to be repaired; a human would end up exploding due to mana overload if they were to enter.


    As for other beasts, thanks to their size and massive mana capacity, they would be able to enter but that also didn’t mean they could stay there all day.


    So, if Ebony and Ivory were to join the battle, they would be able to get close and help the major generals to take the ck tortoise out of the mana pir.


    ‘Alright guys, you have to go help them.’ ke said through their mind link causing the grey wolf to immediately turn in the direction of the mana pir.


    Awoo!


    Releasing a howl, Ebony and Ivory dashed toward the ck tortoise, and on reaching the peak king rank beast they separated.


    Ebony jumped into the air and turned into a spinning ming tornado and arrived directly above the fallen ck tortoise and released a me burst twice its size before spinning out of the mana pir.


    BOOM!


    The explosion of the mes not only made sure that the ck tortoise was grounded, but it also cracked its thick shell.


    ROAR!


    The ck tortoise roared in pain as the floating rocks all around itbined and expanded into a massive earth dome that protected it.


    “It’s trying to run into the ground.” Major Briggs announced to everyone.


    Although the ck tortoise was going through agonizing pain because of the evolution process and the humans, it was still no fool. With Ebony and Ivory joining the fray it knew that staying in the open was a greater form of suicide than what it was already doing.


    Immediately the blue markings on Ivory’s body began glowing, instantly turning the area frigid before sending a trail of ice that went underneath the earth and froze the whole space.


    “What the?!”


    The major generals were bbergasted by the power being disyed by the king rank wolves but didn’t waste time to shatter the earth dome and once again reveal the tortoise that was now in its shell.


    Bringing out its head and legs would only grant it a quick exit from life. So, the ck tortoise could only stay in its shell and hope for the best.


    “We need to try and get it out of there!” Major Briggs said to Ebony who grunted at him causing Ivory to roar at her brother for being rude.


    ‘What the hell is going on here?’ Major Briggs was confused by their actions but couldn’t care much since they had gotten his message.
