Chapter 518 - The Diversion

As soon as Venessa gave the command, the giant fire dragon head above her opened its maw and spewed sweltering fire over jatvuarym who couldn't even move at this point.

Wrraaa!!!

It wailed in agony as this highly condensed and incinerating fire started burning it alive. It wailed in agony and its tendrils shattered the nearby battlefield but as the seconds passed, it no longer had the ability to withstand this hellish torture.

In just 5 minutes, the jatvuarym stopped moving and its charred body let out a cloud of black smoke that spread across the battlefield.

"Yeaaah!!!" shouted one of the soldiers.

"We won!!" shouted a mage from another side of the battlefield.

Soon, hundreds and thousands of battlecries echoed in the surroundings as Venessa barbecued a squid… a legendary rank monster.

However, at the very moment… unlike the cheering soldiers who screamed after their victory; one man was grabbing his head and pulling his own hair tightly.

"That dumbass moron!" shouted Kahn loudly under the illusion barrier.

"She burned the whole body! Doesn't she know that the more damaged the body… the greater its bloodline will be affected?!" complained Kahn.

Because of the way she had greatly damaged the body of jatvuarym with her fire attacks and lastly that giant dragon… the corpse was burned to the point it looked like a big log of charcoal

[Oliver!] ordered Kahn.

[On it!] replied the emerald archer subordinate hiding amongst the cloud.

BOOM!!

SCREECH!

And before the army could celebrate, a massive bird monster with a wingspan of 400 meters screeched and made their ears bleed.

His dark blue feathers blocked the sun and the site of the battle was covered in dark shadows.

Oliver in his Thunderbird legendary rank form screeched and launched 500 massive arrows made of different elements using the Arrowstorm skill and attacked the outer borders of the newly arrived army.

Venessa had a troubled expression on her face but then quickly got ready for another battle as she couldn't afford to lose more of their troops full of different species and genders.

Because after seeing the massive size of this monster that was 5 times bigger in size… most of them had a horrified expression as if they had already prepared for losing their lives.

And seeing their terrified faces… Venessa didn't even think twice and quickly started ascending into the sky to repel this newly arrived creature who probably got here after smelling the charred meat.

"All the warships and battleships! Assist me from behind!" ordered Vanessa and flew after this ginormous creature.

Soon, 90% of the soldiers followed behind her and chased after this monster who could possibly be become even a bigger threat to their motherland than the jatvuarym.

And the only remaining forces were the war relief squadrons who started looking for the injured and started helping the remaining soldiers of the first army that was decimated.

After Venessa and her forces disappeared from their sight… Kahn, Ceril and Armin suddenly appeared close to the charred corpse of the jatvuarym.

"Master, you can pull it in your dimensional domain. And no one will know we're even here." suggested Ceril.

"No. Another clue that could be left behind. They will certainly come for the body. Stealing it when surrounded by so many people isn't a wise choice." said Kahn.

"Armin, just make sure its body is in a better shape." ordered Kahn.

Armin then quickly cast his Atonement skill and used all of his healing skills that rejuvenated the body of this squid-like monster.

This was the exact reason why Oliver turned to his true form.

To create a diversion and allow Kahn to come here. Because after Venessa had carried out her execution in that angered state… the body was greatly damaged. If they didn't heal it… Kahn would have only a dried wood for a body to absorb abilities and bloodline from.

Minutes passed as the three of them were healing the corpse while hiding perfectly under Ceril's illusion barrier. Since Venessa was gone after Oliver, there was no one who could sense their presence.

And finally after 20 minutes…

"It's done. Only the skin looks burnt now. The rest of the body and blood is in perfect condition from the inside." spoke Armin with a nod.

Kahn then pulled a tracking artifact from his space ring and stabbed it in jatvuarym's massive body.

Because stealing it now will be too noticeable. And Kahn wasn't in a mood to leave any clues or suspicions behind.

[Disappear.] commanded Kahn.

Oliver, who was being tracked by an entire army of 300 thousand soldiers with over 3 thousand battleships, two warships and a first stage saint… finally decided to speed up and used the Thunderbird wings skill that boosted his speed by 4 times.

He left a few tornadoes behind him and started attacking with massive lightning bolts that appeared over his beak from time to time.

Soon, the distance between them rose by a few kilometers and then dozens of kilometers and in just 10 minutes, it went beyond 60 kilometers.

And Oliver easily escaped from this chase sequence after turning into his usual Hawkman form.

After having no clue where he went… Vanessa made some arrangements, sent people to track the bird monster and finally returned to the previous battlefield after an hour.

She discussed the losses and the number of fallen soldiers with the people under her command who were left to look after the injured soldiers.

"What should we do with the body, your highness?" the orc captain of the squadron spoke.

"Leaving it here would pollute the area and the rotting corpse would create a lot of problems for the nearby communities. Plus the environment will be adversely affected since it's a region that yields a lot of crops." said a dwarven captain.

Venessa took a deep breath and looked at the still hot corpse of the jatvuarym. Then, a thoughtful expression came on her face as she spoke…

"We're taking it to Oslom."
