Chapter 925: Crabbe’s Side
Chapter 925: Crabbe’s Side
Roy opened three portals for his three familiars to enter. And his familiars will fight and stop the enemies for as long as possible before reinforcement arrive.
And Crabbe received that order well.
He’s not as smart as Graham. So the only thing he needed to think about is to fight and block the enemies for as long as possible.
He doesn’t know whether reinforcement will arrive or not. All he needs to do is to obey his master’s order.
He entered the portal after he jumped down from the hill. And the portal on the other side opened from above. So with his huge size, he made the ground shook as he landed on the other side of the portal.
Crabbe instantly prepared to face his opponent. The monster that the priest opened his portal to. A monster that was stationed there.
When he looked near the portal, he didn’t expect that his opponent will be bigger than him who is already so big. A giant mammoth with long tusks and powerful trunk.
Crabbe was over 4 meters tall. But the mammoth was about one and half the size of him. About 6 meters tall. And that’s the mammoth’s height alone. As the mammoth is a large monster.
But for Crabbe, an order is an order. He was ordered to fight, so he doesn’t need to think about other stuffs.
As soon as he recognized the mammoth as his enemy, he quickly run toward the mammoth and threw a punch at it as he got himself covered his entire body with shell at the same time. To protect himself.
The mammoth might be bigger than Crabbe, but the mammoth still got blown away with one punch.
But that’s it. The mammoth might be blown back, but it’s still a powerful monster. So the mammoth quickly stood back up and recognized Crabbe as someone it has to defeat.
Crabbe and the mammoth charged at each other. They are prepare to face each other.
At a glance, it was obvious that the mammoth will overpower Crabbe. But Crabbe is a powerful monster as well.
He might have left the bottom of the ocean, the dungeon there, not for long. But he has gained quite a lot of experience in fighting because Roy has sent him and his tribe to battle several times.
And each time Crabbe and the crab people fighting, the more excited Roy became. Because he saw that Crabbe and the other crab people keep getting stronger and stronger. To the point where Crabbe could even face Shelia in a combat almost evenly.
And so, when the two monsters met, Crabbe used his human hands to grab the mammoth’s tusk, and his claws from his other arms to block the mammoth’s tusk. Before he used his strength to lift up the mammoth from the ground and slam it to the ground.
In the end, despite its size, the mammoth still got overpowered by Crabbe. It didn’t take much for him to defeat the mammoth. And it’s also the mammoth’s fault to be overconfidence of its own size.
In truth, the mammoth wasn’t even using its true strength. But because the mammoth thought that Crabbe was smaller, the mammoth wouldn’t even need to think much and just overpower Crabbe. Just like how it defeat all the other monsters who were smaller than it is. The mammoth was smart enough to think of that even though it can’t talk like Crabbe. Though that decision was the wrong one.
Crabbe was different. He knew a lot other monster whom despite the fact that they are smaller than him, could still win against him. Which makes him humble about his strength and never get too much confidence in it. Especially Shelia and Roy.
Crabbe was unable to defeat those two who are less than half his height. So he always knew that even if the enemy is small or big, they might be able to defeat him if he let down his guard.
And Crabbe wanted to repay Roy for taking him out of the dark dungeon under the sea. To let his tribe see the sun for the first time. So he couldn’t afford to let down his guard at any time. Especially when there’s a fight.
Crabbe who never underestimate his opponent, and the mammoth who underestimated his opponent despite the fact that it got blown back a few moment before. The result was obvious.
Knowing that the mammoth was an enemy, Crabbe showed no mercy as he pierced his claw into the mammoth’s heart and killed it after the mammoth was down..
Crabbe hasn’t used his magic yet. Because his order was to delay the enemies for as long as possible. And he thought that there will be continuous battle after the monster on his side got defeated.
But now, the monster is dead. And there’s no one else over there other than the portal opened by the priest. So he’s still extremely fit and ready to go on.
"Master, I’m done here. There’s no one else on my side. Should I enter that open portal and help you?" Crabbe asked Roy via telepathy.
"No. It’s impossible for me to hold everyone here for much longer. Soon, some will enter the portal. You will do your best to hold them back for as much as possible. Graham has informed someone where he is. So reinforcement should arrive sooner or later," Roy replied.
"Then I will block the portal," Crabbe said.
Crabbe can use water magic. So he tried to use it to see if there’s any water nearby. But there weren’t any.
He thought that it would be a good idea to sink the portal to a lake. Or just surround it with a moat. But there’s no water other than the water magic he can use. But that will spend a lot of his mana.
So he thought of other things.
He’s near a forest with huge and tall trees. So he thought of making blockade with them.
And the first thing he put in front of the portal was the corpse of the mammoth. It’s big enough to block the entire portal. And should slow down the enemies for a bit even if they are master level mages.
Since he defeated the mammoth rather quick, he managed to put some trees as a blockade.
And finally, some entered the portal. But they got blocked by the dead mammoth. And the ones behind them pushing them forward, so the first one who entered the portal got crushed. After all, those behind were also master level mages.
But it didn’t take long for the blockade to be destroyed. And as soon as it opened, Crabbe was already prepared right in front of them.
With all his four arms extended forward, he shot out high pressure water from them. Pushing the enemies back where they came from. But that was only temporary.
The ones on the front got pushed. But the ones behind them kept pushing the ones at front. Making those at the front died being crushed by water and the people coming out of the portal.
Obviously, one monster was not enough to stop them. So slowly, the water got pushed back.
Crabbe ignored all the attack aimed toward him and only focus on pushing the enemy back. And finally, the people who got pushed by the water managed to escape.
Some ignored Crabbe, while some wanted to kill Crabbe. So Crabbe who has wasted a lot of mana had no choice but to depend on his physical ability.
And finally, after he killed just a few people, reinforcement arrived.
The one leading the reinforcement was Wendy.
Although she was quite far from that place, she could fly at high speed so she could lead an army to help Crabbe.
"Crabbe, you can get some rest. We will fight them here," Wendy said.
"No. You won’t be able to face them all. I will help," Crabbe said.
He knew that the reinforcement was still not enough to face the enemies.
And the same could be said to where Graham and Shelia are.
The only good news was that the portal was already closed. And since the mammoth died, the priest won’t be able to come here with portal.
"You’re right. It’s impossible for us alone. In the end, we have to rely on Roy again to transport more reinforcement here," Wendy said.
She thought that with so many enemies, just the army of humans won’t be enough. So they need the army of monsters. And Roy was the only one who can bring them.
Other people were also trying to get to the locations of the battles. But it will take time. And all the enemies this time were master level mages. So even the army of monsters might not be enough.
This might end with the fall of the capital of Varadis. So King Henry contacted someone he trusts in Varadis to evacuate the people.
He was forced to do it because of what he sees on the TV in the meeting room in Consenza. The one connected to the camera attached on Roy’s chest.
It showed that it will take a while until Roy can leave that place. So he had to evacuate the people just in case it’s too late.
