Way of the Devil - Chapter 518

Chapter 518






"Snap . "

A withered branch broke under the pressure of a foot . The dark brown leather boots slowly landed before a dark red, almost dried puddle of blood .

Then, they stopped .

Amid the fog, the town was as deathly quiet as ever . Mera looked up at the skies .

"Big Sister, it's about time we head back . We won't make it in time otherwise . We're getting too close . We should come back tomorrow to check this place," Fran warned her from far away behind her .

Another man was bringing some personnel to inspect the bodies of Urus's soldiers . They wanted to see if they could extract any crucial clues from them .

"Got it," Mer responded . However, her gaze was still fixed upon the nearby town .

"Luo Di, I wish you luck…" She sighed . Then, she turned around and quickly walked toward Fran .

Suddenly, a faint rumble reached them from the horizon .

"What's that?" Mera paused . She turned to look in the direction of the sound .

"Water! Plenty of it!" shouted a White Eagle member . He looked terrified, and his voice was trembling .

Suddenly, a possibility flashed across Mera's mind .

"Could it be…" Her expression changed . She darted toward Fran .

After running for some distance, the fog thinned slightly, and she immediately saw countless streams under the moonlight . The vast streams were bringing countless branches, soil, and rocks as they submerged the hills, plains, rivers, and forests . The body of water was wildly charging toward them .

Mera was greatly shocked . She immediately looked to the left and right along the path of the water . To her surprise, everywhere she looked, there was countless water .

"F*ck! It's the dam! That bastard Urus has blown the Snow Eagle Dam upstream!"

Mera punched a tree .

"We should move onto higher grounds…" Fran shouted .

"It's useless . There's nothing high enough in the vicinity that can allow us to escape from the water!" The emaciated man gathered near them as well . He even brought five White Eagle members with him .

"As long as we can endure the first wave of the dam's waters, the subsequent impact will be weaker . We must think of something! Otherwise, our fates are sealed!" Mera said sternly .





"What way? My God, Urus, you pr*ck! Why am I facing such a situation?! My God, my God!" Fran screamed, holding her head . "I can escape from the monsters, but now I'm about to be drowned by water!"

The other members were also having sour expressions . However, their ingrained habits prevented them from screaming their hearts out . Instead, they looked toward their commander, Mera .

They had encountered hopeless situations countless times, and Mera was always able to carry them through . That was the key point as to why the White Eagle was able to remain united .

"Our only option now…" Mera shifted her gaze toward the town .

"Urus's objective is to destroy the town . However, the town's power will surely not be so easily destroyed . We—"


"Boom!"

She had not even finished her sentence when a sudden loud sound reached them from afar .

Sounds of explosion could be heard from the grayish torrent, and huge volumes of water sprayed high . The explosions only occurred after the peak of the torrent's swell, which increased the torrent's momentum .

"Dammit! They're delayed explosives!" Mera started to lose her cool at this moment .

Some of the lower hills were instantly blown away by the torrents . From the look of things, she reckoned that the torrent would reach them in no time .

"Let's go! Into the town!" Mera shouted sternly .

"But . . . !"

"No buts! If we don't go in, we'll surely die . We might have a chance of living if we go in!" said Mera decisively .

"Big Sister's right . Let's give it our all!" Fran stood up and followed Mera in making a beeline toward the town .

"You've lost your minds!" The emaciated man was anxious, but when he saw the huge body of water that was quickly closing in on them, he felt a chill down his spine and quickly followed the two of them .

"Based on the pattern, after the first wave of attacks, we'll at least have three hours of safety . So, we can only stay in the town for three hours . We must come out after that time period, regardless of the situation outside," Mera explained as she walked .

"Also, it's better if we can meet up with Luo Di and the others . "

"Why?" Fran was puzzled .

"Because the monsters don't care about our numbers . If there's more of us, we might still possibly delay them since we'll have more options to choose from . However, if it's just the few of us, and we run into a huge group of monsters… Although it's slightly selfish, our only hope lies with Luo Di and the others . They must've made great preparations to face the death scene tomorrow," Mera explained calmly .





The others understood right away . They subconsciously increased their pace . Mera's words had shown them hope .

***************

"Boom!"

"What's that sound?!"

Luo Di and the others were walking away from the town . Suddenly, they felt the ground shake, and so quickly stopped in their tracks, perplexed .

The spectacled old scholar, Esseinro, was supporting his leg on a simple branch stretcher . Currently, his expression was stern as he listened out for the subsequent faint rumbles .

"Urus's subordinates have revealed that they've sent someone to the great dam upstream… The sound we heard . . . based on the distance, I'd say it's roughly where the dam is . This is bad…"

"Bad…? It's not only bad… Look there…" All of a sudden, Luo Di pointed somewhere far to the town's left .

The others quickly looked in that direction . In no time, everyone saw, through the mist, a huge patch of gray closing in on them like a storm devouring the earth .

The hills, forests, land, rivers, everything was covered by that immense gray patch .

"My God…"

"God…"

When they saw what it was, they were immediately dumbfounded .

"A torrent… it's a torrent that's at least 12 meters tall!" Esseinro's expression paled immediately . His voice revealed a hint of despair .

"The nearest hill is eight meters tall at most . We have no way of finding a place to shelter ourselves from this torrent! It's over… We're done for…" Esseinro's entire body shook . His body kept swaying like a sieve .

Luo Di's expression quickly calmed down . He had faced dire situations of life and death such as this one for more than he cared to count . In the face of the current danger, his brain went into overdrive . He quickly thought about the possible measures they could take .

However, no matter how he thought about it, there was actually only one option available to them .

He quickly cast his gaze to the town behind them .

"Let's go!" He led the way and dashed toward the town .

Lu Sheng did not hesitate as well . He hoisted Esseinro with a single hand and placed him on his shoulders, and followed behind Luo Di in great strides .





The other two were slightly stunned .

"Luo Di! We'll be running to our deaths!" one of them shouted .

"There must be some other place we can seek shelter in! We can look for underground caverns or something!" the other person shouted, terrified .

They could see what Luo Di intended to do—he wanted to use the town's mysterious power to fight against the torrent . After all, Urus's intention was to destroy the town . It was only an accident that they were involved .

However, although they understood, they did not wish to enter the town so soon .

Before this, they were skirting the town in an attempt to scout the terrain . However, in order to escape the torrent now, they would have to go to the central parts of the town .

From their viewpoint, it was the same as running to their deaths!

Luo Di did not even spare them another glance . He merely waved his hand and increased his pace toward the town .

"Ah Sang . Keep up!"

The immense torrent was like a huge gray waterfall that slowly covered the land . It kept spreading toward the town .

Luo Di and the others were like little ants . From afar, they were slowly getting closer to the town . However, compared to the torrent's speed, they seemed to be a tad slower .

"We should move faster . " Luo Di noticed that as well .

"It's alright . I'll do something about it . " Lu Sheng was close behind him . When he heard this, he grinned, and stomped his foot on the ground behind him .

"Bam!"

With a muffled sound, Lu Sheng grabbed Luo Di and Esseinro with his arms . Then, he rode on the wild reaction force and leapt into the air . He moved forward with an elevation of a dozen centimeters .

It took only one second .

Luo Di and Esseinro only felt as if they had leapt into the air . Their vision blurred, and they were already among the white-spotted streets of the town .

"That… that was fast!" Esseinro's jaw dropped . His hair stood from the wind as if he was shocked .

The awe Luo Di felt was not inferior to Esseinro's . Luo Sang's Gelailo Sword Skills were already at a level which he could not comprehend .

He clearly knew and recognized every single move, but when they were unleashed with Luo Sang's hands, it was as if they were something completely different . . .

"We're here . " Lu Sheng placed the two of them down gently, and scanned his surroundings . "This doesn't look like a good place to be in…"

Luo Di exhaled, and said calmly, "We have no other choice . " 

At this very moment, an indescribably loud explosion's sound reached them suddenly from the town's enclosing wall .

The ground started to shake intensely, and the buildings around them shook as well . They seemed to be under the effect of some extremely heavy impact, and it was a continuous impact at that .

"Look!" Esseinro jabbed a finger at the top of the building which Lu Sheng had destroyed a while ago . It was quickly being restored to its original appearance .

Lu Sheng and Luo Di saw that as well . Luo Di was expressionless, but Lu Sheng found the sight familiar .

"What now?" Lu Sheng looked at Luo Di . "This place doesn't seem too friendly . "Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www . webnovel . com for visiting .

"It's alright, we're only here temporarily to avoid the torrent . We'll be leaving soon . " Luo Di managed a smile .

"Do we pick a house, then? I don't think we should be just standing around outside," Lu Sheng suggested .

"Sure . Find a taller one . " Luo Di was of the opinion that if the torrent could not be stopped, the taller houses could still be used as floats .

The three of them walked deeper into the town along the streets . They searched for a while among the mist, and quickly found a four-story building that resembled a school .

Lu Sheng broke the lock with a punch . Then, he pushed the metal doors open and entered .

Luo Di supported Esseinro and followed closely behind .

He looked at Lu Sheng, who did not seem to mind, before him . He felt worried, and could not refrain from reminding, "Be careful, Ah Sang . This town is dangerous . " 

"Alright . Don't worry, I'll take care of myself . " Lu Sheng sauntered through the doors . The three of them quickly passed through the beaten hall, and went up the first floor, second floor, and all the way to the third floor .

Dark, pitch-black corridors spanned both sides of the head of the third floor's stairs .

"Let's find a place here," suggested Lu Sheng .

"Alright…" Luo Di was already at his highest level of alert . He supported Esseinro with one hand, and held his short crossbow in the other . He was prepared for action .

"How about this place?" Lu Sheng quickly found a room . "There's a window here, the scenery should be decent . "

He pushed the door open .

"Whoosh!"

A pitch-black tendril the thickness of an arm suddenly shot out from the room, flying right toward his face .
