Chapter 71: CHAPTER 71 – The Fight Started.
As the Raiders and the Ornithomimids waited for each other to move, there was something moving towards them, and that something was big, fast, and hungry.
The said thing was a T-rex-like beast with its scale made of rock and its sharp teeth were made of iron. The T-rex was 7 meters in height and 24 meters in length, however, unlike a normal T-rex, it was thinner and more agile.
It had smelled the scent of the roasted Hatzegopteryx and as it had been hungry for a while it decided to go and eat them.
..........................................…
"We got another guest, a big one at that..." Alex's voice broke the silence.
But his words only caused the raiders to become more worried, they didn't know Alex's ability but from the way they saw it, they could guess that Alex had some kind of sensing ability.
So, when they heard his words, they knew that he could sense something moving toward them.
"Why don't we let Ann take care of our new guest, Alice?" Alex asked Alice ignoring the worried raiders below.
"If you think she can deal with it then, why not?" Alice spoke with a smile.
"I'll be right back," Before Alex could say something, Ann's voice was heard, causing both Alex and Ann to smile.
No one could tell where the voice came from, but the Ornithomimids were relieved. For a while the Ornithomimids felt that they could lose their lives anytime, it was like there was a god of death sitting right behind them, but they couldn't see it.
But now they felt that they were safe...
*Swish**Slash*
Or maybe not...?
The sound of something cutting through the air was heard and their senses felt that their lives were under threat, but the next second a slashing sound was heard and it was not a normal slashing sound it was the sound of flesh being cut.
All of the Ornithomimids turned their head towards the source of the piercing sound only to see one of their friends who was standing with them had its head sliced in two parts.
It was a clean cut that directly removed the upper half of its head, leaving only the lower part. The beast didn't even get a chance to scream before it was killed.
Then their eyes turned toward the guy and the girl standing in the air and they saw the guy's lips moving.
"Let's stop the hide-and-seek guys," Alex spoke to the raiders and the beasts that were hiding.
*Grrrrr*
The Ornithomimids growled as they looked at the guy standing up in the sky. Even though they could not tell what Alex was saying they could tell that they were not hidden from his eyes.
Since there was no use in hiding, the Ornithomimids came out of the bushes, letting the raiders see their enemies. There were around 15 Orthimimids which was lower than the total number of raiders who entered the gate, including Alex, Alice, Ann, and the healers by the count of 9.
But, it was still concerning as Alex and Alice were up in the air and they didn't seem like they would be moving anytime soon, then there was Ann who had gone to fight something that they didn't even know.
Then the 4 healers that were not combatant were also not going to fight which made the numerical advantage that the raiders had over the ornithomimids turn into 2.
The air grew with tension and even though the Ornithomimids knew that Alex and Alice were stronger they were not fighting alone, they were a group of experienced hunters who hunted their prey together.
After all, even a lion loses to a group of hyenas.
"RRRAAAAWWWWRRRRRR"
Just then a thunderous roar was heard, but it was not a simple roar as it was filled with pain and anger. The ground vibrated along with the roar as if something very heavy crashed on the ground.
As if the roar was the indication for the ornithomimids to start their assault, they ran toward the raiders. For a split second, every Raider looked in the direction the roar came from, giving the ornithomimids an opening they had been waiting for.
One of them rushed toward the closest person to them and true to their claims, they were very fast. Before the Raiders could even blink, but still as they were all A-ranked trained Raiders, they quickly got into a defensive position.
Some dodged the jaws of the Ornithomimids, some blocked their claws with their weapons, and some took the attack head-on getting injured in the process.
But one guy was not focused and his head was about to be chopped off by the razor-sharp teeth of an ornithomimid, the guy closed his eyes as his whole life flashed through them.
He had already given up the moment he looked back to find a jaw filled with razor-sharp teeth right in front of his eyes, no matter how strong he was, he knew at that moment that he was a goner.
But the death he was waiting for never came, instead, he heard a loud shout right beside his ears.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU CLOSING YOUR EYES FOR?!?!?!?! FIGHT MF!!!!"
The guy snapped open his eyes and found Frank holding the jaw of the ornithomimid that was about to take his life with his hands covered with scales.
He realized that he had been saved and after giving a grateful nod to Frank, he ran towards one of the raiders he saw struggling to fight as his arm was bitten by the ornithomimid.
Frank just scoffed and focused back on the beast whose jaw he was holding.
"You like biting, don't you? How about this?" As Frank spoke, we used more force in his hands tearing the jaw of the ornithomimid without much struggle.
The beast tried to break free from Frank, but as an A-rank monster that was known for its speed, how could it break free from the grip of a strength-type S-ranked Raider?
After killing the beast, Frank looked towards the position where Alice and Alex were standing only to find Alice standing there alone.
But he didn't dwell too much on it and ran towards the ornithomimid that was standing in the back, snorting and grunting as if giving orders.
One could tell that it was the leader and Frank didn't need to be a genius to know that it should be stronger than other ornithomimids as well, but he still ran toward it.
As an S-rank raider, he had his pride and he was sure that he was strong enough to defeat an S-rank rank beast alone if it wasn't a mid-boss or a boss.
Adding to that, he had the advantage of strength and even if his opponent was fast and could deliver many attacks, all Frank needed was one fully powered attack to finish his enemy, but he would later find out that everything was not as easy as it seemed.
Alice was looking at all of this and just smiled as she saw the team doing good. She then turned towards the place where she heard the roar from, the same place where Alex had gone to and also the place where Ann was fighting.
