Bastard Homunculus: Reborn in the Corpse Pit-Chapter 149: The Vengeful Elf(Part 9)

"No, don’t-...!" Began Jules as Nero shot towards Leptar rapidly, unleashing a cloud of dark mist as he closed in, before a powerful gust of wind erupted, blowing the smokescreen away as Nero came flying out, crashing onto the ground and skidding away, his mask soaked with blood as he coughed sharply, before collapsing onto the ground.

"He managed to slow down my strike with a burst of dark energy, nothing but delaying the inevitable. It looks like the humans are the only ones left standing now. I’ve whittled down your numbers enough that I don’t need to use my hit and run tactics anymore, this will be over soon," He surmised, before swiftly sidestepping as a rapid slashing wave of flames came shooting towards him, before racing away as a barrage of telekinetic blasts, purple flames, explosions and blood arrows came shooting towards him, evading them with ease.

Aster lifted several rocks on the ground around him, charging them with telekinetic energy before launching them towards Leptar with all the speed he could generate, grimacing as Leptar swiftly swung his large blade across, deflecting the incoming projectiles before they could reach him.

Jules then fired out pressurized jets of flames from her feet to launch herself forward, the flames around her sword intensifying before she unleashed a powerful thrust of the blade, firing out a rapid, drilling pillar of flames towards Leptar.

He leapt off to his right as the flames closed in on him, narrowly evading the attack before twisting his body across as Raven flew up and fired out his beams with all the force he could generate, grazing Leptar’s left bicep before the Elf swiftly grabbed a chunk of dirt off the ground and flung it foreaed as a rapid explosive projectile came shooting towards him, intercepting it a few meters ahead of him before it exploded as it struck the chunk of earth, bits of dirt flying out as a small cloud of smoke billowed out.

"I’ll give you humans one last chance. It’s not too late for you to get out of here if you still want to live. After all, I have no grudge against your kind, there’s no real reason for me to kill you if you agree to back out. But if you continue to fight on the side of my enemies, you’ll leave me with no choice but to regard you as my enemies too. I’m which case, of course, I’ll have to kill you. So, what do you say?"

"Sorry, but I’m afraid that’s simply not an option. The Elves are our allies, not to mention you’ve killed two of our comrades. We won’t abandon Sylph, and we’re not going to run away from you with our tails tucked between our legs," Stated Jules, a flash of lightning erupting across the sky as she concentrated the flames around her blade, puffs of steam erupting around it as the raindrops hit it.

"Yeah, I figured you’d say something like that. But I thought I should give you the chance to live anyway...and you’re going to regret not taking that chance," He declared, before he shot towards Jules rapidly. freeweɓnovel.cѳm

She unleashed a barrage of fire attacks at him as the others fired out volleys of their own Spells as well, but he dealt with them with ease, evading some and deflecting the rest away with his sword.

As he closed in on Jules, he unleashed a fierce swing of his sword towards her, as she quickly raised her blade up defensively while simultaneously charging up flames in her mouth.

A deafening clang rang out as the blades crashed, Jules grimacing as the impact severely jarred her arms, before firing out the charged up flames at him as she got launched back through the air at a breakneck speed, burns appearing across Leptar’s face as the flames struck him, before a loud crash rang out as Jules slammed against a tree with immense force, letting out a shaky groan before losing consciousness as she fell over and collapsed onto the ground with a thud.

Leptar then quickly spun around as Colt snuck up behind him and slashed at the back of his neck, Leptar’s tough skin and flesh preventing the blade from cutting too deeply as it dragged across his skin as he turned around, before swinging his foot towards Colt with immense force.

Colt coated his torso in a thick layer of blood before wheezing sharply as Leptar’s foot slammed onto the middle of his torso, knocking him out instantly upon impact before he got sent flying back rapidly, crashing onto a row of bushes and slumping against them as blood trickled out of the corner of his mouth.

Leptar grimaced as he stumbled across unsteadily, a significant amount of venom having been injected into his bloodstream, before a powerful explosive projectile slammed onto the middle of his chest and erupted fiercely, blowing him away as he went skidding across the ground.

He slid across the muddy dirt and coughed out blood as pain throbbed across his chest, several ribs deeply fractured by the explosion, before he quickly rolled out of the way as a rapid, piercing burst of telekinesis came shooting out towards him.

As he narrowly evaded the attack, he quickly scrambled back onto his feet and raced away as Raven flew up above him and fired down a deafening sonic screech, just barely getting out of the way before sprinting across as fast as he could as a barrage of explosions came barreling towards him, erupting intensely one after they other as they pelted the ground, bits of muddy dirt and grass flying out.

"There’s only three of them left, so how are they fighting more effectively than they did with the full group? These three must be used to fighting alongside each other," Surmised Leptar with a grimace, before he shot towards Aster as a wave of purple flames and a volley of explosions came zipping in towards him.

Aster unleashed several telekinetic blasts as Leptar shot towards him, but the Elf zigzagged across to evade the attacks, before swiftly stomping on the ground as he closed in on Aster, driving his fist forward as Aster stumbled.

To Leptar’s surprise, his fist failed to break through Aster’s Telekinetic Zone, as Aster managed to maintain its full strength despite being thrown off balance, before he began to try and pull Leptar in.

Leptar quickly drew back his fist, before swiftly reaching down and wedging his fingers deep into the dirt, Aster’s eyes widening in realization as the cracks spread out across the ground surrounding his Telekinetic Zone, starting to back away as fast as he could as Leptar lifted the ground below his feet up.

But he was too slow to react, as Leptar ripped up that section of the ground, before flinging it away with all his strength, launching Aster back through the air with alarming force.

"Sh-shit, there’s too much momentum to cancel out...!" Aster thought to himself frantically, before his back slammed onto the side of a large tree, the impact rattling his bones as his eyes rolled back, a sharp gasp ringing out before he lost consciousness and collapsed onto the mud with a splat.

Raven’s beams then struck the back of Leptar’s neck right as a couple of rapid explosive projectiles struck the middle of his back, sending him stumbling forward and collapsing onto one knee with a pained grimace.

"That hurt...but I managed to knock out one of the most troublesome ones among them, the remaining pair should fall before long," He muttered to himself as he got back onto his feet and spun around, as Raven came charging in towards him, lightning crackling around his entire body.

Leptar quickly tilted his body across as Raven closed in and drove his claws towards his throat, narrowly evading it before grabbing Raven’s forearm, gritting his teeth as his body sharply stiffened from the lightning coating Raven’s body, before mustering up his stength and swinging Raven up with a sharp jerk.

He then slammed Raven onto the ground several times, dazing him and knocking the wind out of him before dropping him and planting his foot on his chest, pushing Raven against the mud before raising his large blade up, tightening his grip as he began to swing it back down.

Suddenly, as a blast of explosive energy came shooting towards him, he quickly raised the face of his blade in front of himself defensively, the blast hitting the blade and exploding intensely, sending him stumbling back as cracks spread out across his blade.

"Get away from him!" Snapped Celia, as she shot towards him furiously, charging explosive energy into her fists.

He lifted his gaze with a grimace, holding his blade up defensively as Celia leapt forward as she closed in and drove her right fist forward, slamming it against the face of his blade, her gauntlet magnifying the impact of her strike as the explosive energy she’d charged into her right burst forth, Leptar’s eyes widening in surprise as his blade shattered to pieces upon impact, his feet skidding back a couple of meters across the ground, before he winced slightly as the impact had jarred his left forearm.

Celia ducked as he swiped his right fist across at her head, before she let out a roar of exertion as she drove her left fist towards the middle of his torso with all her stength.

As her fist slammed onto his solar plexus, the explosive energy erupted as the gauntlet on her left arm magnified the impact, immense pain bursting out across Leptar’s torso as he coughed out blood with a sharp wheeze, before getting sent hurtling back through the air.

He gritted his teeth before swinging his arms down, digging his fingers into the ground to bring himself to a halt, trying to get back onto his feet before collapsing onto one knee and coughing out more blood, his vision blurring.

"Wh-what was that? I’ve never been hit with so much force before...she’s dangerous," He thought to himself with a pained grimace, as he shakily got back onto his feet while his injuries healed.

"That was definitely effective...and while he’s healing, he’s looking pretty worn out now, which must mean that his regeneration consumes stamina. Maybe if I can land a few more hits-...," Celia thought to herself as she charged explosive energy into her fists again, before he train of thought was abruptly cut off as he suddenly shot towards her with a sharp burst in speed.

Celia quickly sprang back in alarm, before tensing up her core as she drove her right fist forward as he closed in on her.

But before her fist could reach him, he swiftly reached out and grabbed her forearm, stopping her punch in its tracks.

"Your strikes may be powerful, but they’re useless if you can’t land them!" He declared, before unleashing a powerful thrust of his fist towards her stomach.

She quickly raised her left arm up defensively as his fist closed in, before screaming in pain as his fist collided against her forearm and slammed it against her stomach, her gauntlet absorbing some of the impact, but there was still enough force to shatter the bones in her arm and seriously damage her stomach, blood pouring out of her mouth as she let out an agonized gasp of pain.

"And now, time to die-...," He began as he started to raise his hand towards her, before freezing as a rapid blur of purple and black appeared in his right peripheral, grabbing his arm before he could react, an instinctive fear like he’d never felt before gripping him.

His body reacted on its own, letting go of Celia and breaking free of the grasp on his arm before he backed away several meters, visibly shaken as a bead of sweat trickled down the side of his face, the rain finally starting to slow down.

"What...what is that?"

An ominous figure loomed in front of Celia, as she collapsed onto her knees and coughed sharply, before the figure reached down and placed his hand on her shoulder, healing her.

He was covered in black scales with a glowing purple pattern across them, his face resembling that of a Dragon, as intense sparks of lightning crackled around his body.

His hair was a dark shade of purple, long and wild as it framed his face and went down past his shoulders. The scales covering his body were jagged and razor sharp, his arms thick and muscular.

His claws were slightly hooked, his wings long and narrow, a deep growl ringing out as he bared his fangs, which were pitch-black and curved, before Leptar flinched as the figure turned and met his gaze.

"That’s the same human, isn’t it? He looked unusual before, but he looks even more of a Monster now. What...what the hell happened to him?"

Celia backed away and got some distance as Raven finished healing her, his attention focused on Leptar, who eyed him warily.

Raven then threw back his head, his jaws snapping open as he let out a deafening, bone-chilling roar, before he spread out his wings and shot forward with an immense burst of speed, a shockwave erupting behind him, Leptar’s eyes widening as Raven closed in on him in the blink of an eye, the Elf’s blood running cold...
