Chapter 27: Showdown at Outer City.
Hell is other people
Classroom of the Elite
Outer city, or the unofficial name given to the slum surrounding Uthean- one formed by immigrants from the warring Outer belt of Westeria. This is where the gangs ruled.
Here crime run free; the 3 crime lords concentrated their forces here, feeding off the misfortune of the common class.
Even Maria, one of the most benevolent hearts one could find here in Uthean didn't step foot in this place… The Lions C guild everyone looked to hadn't fully consolidated their power here in Uthean, only a full out confrontation between the two would resolve it. This was one of the underlying reasons
The streets were usually filled with paupers and beggars, drunkards or hooligans, prostitutes and addicts… however, today, the streets were quiet, barricaded at each point, gangsters stood at these barricades with whatsoever tools they could use as weapons, even mages stood amongst them.
Vroom.
5 voitures bearing the Wilbert crest appeared on the road.
Boom.
They smashed through the barricade,
_Character form: Undead Army_
Black runes spread out from one of the vehicles, covering half the area.
Shadowy skeletons clad in black armour arose them.
<< Mixing rune magic and meta-summoning magic – You don't need to supply them anymore. >> Xiao Long echoed in Adrian's head.
The undead and gangsters clashed, but the difference was obvious, most were ordinary men with unenhanced weapons, and even the few mages amongst them were just beginners.
But then, there was an oddity.
A bare chested man walked onto the field, and it was as though they learned fear – none dared to touch.
"I've heard a lot about you Young Lord Adrian." He spoke walking calmly towards the voiture, "I learnt you took out one of the sub-packs." He stopped before the speeding voitures.
The voitures stopped before him.
"I don't care who you are." Adrian poked his head out the window, as Ignis Valhalla stepped out and dashed forward. "Just get out of my way."
Grr.
A bestial growl came from his mouth, his nose morphing into a snot, his legs bending in an unusual way, more hair growing.
"Ahwooo!' The werewolf howled, sprinting towards the nearing Ignis and clawing. He sent Ignis skidding over the battlefield.
_ Awhoo! _
From the allies more werewolves entered the field.
Quickly, the tables were turned, the wolves tore through the skeletons like wet paper.
"I'm Gaz Vadonne, Knight Beta of the Lunar Lenonez Pack." On all 4s, he dashed towards the voiture Adrian was in.
Adrian frowned, he didn't have time to play.
Swoosh.
Zethar moved out in a white flash, blowing dragon flames from his white crown.
"You aren't Dravari, the two of you are true dragons… however you are odd, a humanoid dragon should have finished me off the second he met… Is the form innate?" Gaz evaluated as he pulled the burnt fur off.
"I warned you." Gaz didn't notice when Adrian stepped out of the vehicle, but he stood by the kneeling Ignis, touching his head.
Scale by scale, Ignis became one with Adrian.
<< I feel more comfortable now."
Now possessing a 6 meter frame, he stared at Gaz with raging violet eyes.
_ Hive-mind synchrony _
"You had your chance… I have fewer restrictions now." His voice sounded like thunder: The weight of Xiao Long's presence had reduced on his body.
_Fire storm_
_Meteorite shower_
_ Hungry Earth_
Adrian fired different AOE spells at once wiping out almost all his enemies.
"You are stronger than an advanced." Gaz said, standing on a high building, his form morphing into a more humanoid one.
"We were ill informed… You were supposed to be an intermediate tier mage, yet somehow you have the strength of a king." Gaz smiled.
"Sssso ssgood we sss came preparedsss." A snake man slithered up another building.
"So you are the Demon Adrian." Two women appeared, one was Monica, flying high and another on another building.
"This is vengeance for Vax – Our brother." The two women said.
Everyone assembled behind Adrian – Chris, Zethar, Tobey, Herla, Aghast, Shadow you name them.
"Who are you?" He asked, wanting to know the names of the people he was going to end.
"We are The Crimson Peak." They replied.
4 magical gates appeared behind them, and from them came, an army, an army of Werewolves, Vampires, Nagas, and Minotaurs.
