My Slayer System: Rise to Supremacy

Chapter 176: Retreat



Everybody had now finished their tough fights against their foes and they were trying to rest when all members of the Fang hunters, received a message from Jake telling them the horror that was to come.

Informing them that dozens of beasts that were on the advanced tier level were coming towards the academy with two King tier beasts leading the charge from the three different directions.

All the members of the Fang hunters quickly came out of the academy including those that just finished fighting with five hundred soldiers that were part of the Fang hunters. Discover exclusive content at empire

The rest had been part of the betrayals and were killed while some had gone with Head General Humfree and General Wilfred on their outing leaving a thousand plus soldiers in the academy.

But majority had betrayed the academy and were killed. So currently, there were five hundred soldiers in the academy that were part of the Fang hunters and they had all come outside.

"What do we do?" One soldier asked.

"We wait for orders." Another replied.

And right on cue, orders came from Jake as he sent it to three members of the Fang hunters.

Alex, Peter and Geo.

Jake instructed them to take a hundred soldiers each and head to the three direction where the beasts were coming from.

The library, the morgue and the cemetery where the soldiers that died were buried.

Quickly, they took the hundred soldiers each and they all left for their different locations quickly so the beasts wouldn't get to the academy.

While the rest in the academy, were resting trying to recover as much energy as possible especially Harry and Paul.

Alex along with his hundred soldiers had finally gotten to the library where the beasts were about to come out from and he could see the tunnel that had been created recently and right on cue, the beasts were coming out.

They could see hundred of advanced tier beasts and a king tier beast with them. The advanced tier beasts were of different types as they could see Earthshakers, mosswovern and other types of beasts.

While the king tier beast was a huge gorilla beast with black fur, six arms and it stood around 7feet tall while staring at the humans with its fierce red eyes.

Looking at the beasts, some of the soldiers were rooted in fear and were unable to move especially because of the intimidating presence of the King tier beast.

Most of the soldiers hadn't faced a King tier beast before and seeing one, caused some of them to freeze. Alex turned around about to give out orders when he saw them freeze.

"Be brave soldiers, we can do this!" Alex shouted but nothing he said could get through them.

Turning to his system, he could see a message from the others reporting the same thing but Geo's message was quite alright as they hadn't encountered any King tier beast so the soldiers were holding up well.

"Well, I guess I have to do this alone but it's going to be tough." Alex said as he drew his giant sword and charged right at the beasts while the King tier beast stood off to the side watching what the silly human was about to do.

"Is he crazy? How can he charge right at hundreds of advanced tier beasts all alone?" A soldier asked as they could all see Alex fighting with everything he got while skillfully avoiding the mosswovern's acid.

The Earthshakers were proving difficult but he was still holding up quite well. Well, as well as he could hold up as Alex was being riddled with injuries all over from the beasts as they were attacking him fervently.

Seeing Alex fight bravely like this, the soldiers decided not to stand around as they also dashed towards the advanced tier beasts and were helping Alex out.

"Sorry we came late, it took your bravery to snap us out of our daze." A soldier said as he narrowly avoided the acid of the mosswovern while hitting an Earthshaker back.

But no matter what they did, they were unable to really damage the beasts as they were too skillful.

And then slowly, the soldiers started falling to the mosswoverns acid that were raining down on them like rain burning through their clothes, armour and body.

Slowly the soldiers numbers was being reduced from hundred to ninety to Eighty.

Looking back at the soldiers that were dropping dead like flies, Alex only had one thought on his mind.

'I don't think we can win this, I think it's better we abandon the academy and run away.' Alex thought.

It wasn't only Alex that was struggling, even Peter's team were struggling against the beasts as he had faced the same problem with the soldiers rooted in fear and unable to move.

Some of them even ran away in fear. Like thirty of the soldiers ran away in fear while the others that were left, some of them were hit by the mosswovern acids burning them down.

Reducing their numbers to fifty. It took the death of the other soldiers for the rest to act as they backed Peter up in dealing with the beasts rapidly but it wasn't enough as their numbers was being reduced.

The Earthshakers were quite skillful in using their abilities to avoid any major blow while working together with the mosswoverns to rain acids on them when they least expected.

Just like Alex's team, the Gorilla like King tier beast was just standing off to the side not interfering.

Peter and some strong soldiers were able to kill some of the beasts but it was like a drop in the ocean and seeing the soldiers dying rapidly, Peter only had one order to say.

"Retreat! Everybody retreat, we would have our last stand at the academy!" Peter shouted and the weaker soldiers were already running back while the stronger soldiers and Peter were holding the beasts back while they were slowly running back to the academy.

Geo also gave the same order after facing off against the advanced tier beasts. Although, he and the soldiers managed to reduce the number of beasts drastically, the soldiers were dying rapidly so he also gave the order of retreat.

Alex seeing how hopeless the fight was currently, also gave the order of retreat and now, the three teams were all heading towards the academy slowly with the beasts still on their tail.

Will Aurora Academy fall to the beasts, or will they pull through?
