The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse-Chapter 743: Deaths Chosen (7)
Uncle Mark was burning his spiritual Qi to hold back the Lava Lions, while Old Lu was holding back the two Peak Tier 10s.
But that did nothing to lower the direness of the battle. The moment the new monsters appeared, everyone started to lose hope.
Naturally, they all started feeling the pressure, and while the Lions were being held back, they knew it was only a matter of time before they would have to handle the Lions themselves.
Thankfully, some key people are doing great jobs.
Nadia was now battling to kill three Tier 10s.
She has shown remarkable battle prowess by holding back eight Tier 10s until Kathy killed three and Miriam killed two.
The two leaders are fighting a Tier 10 each now, leaving her with only three.
This caused the six puppets to start attacking instead of merely containing them. Nadia was absorbing the souls while more kept getting trapped in her Black Soul Pot.
One had to say that she was indeed terrifying. She is just at the sage stage and can already be this terrifying, going as far as blocking eight Tier 10 brute elephants all by herself.
That is something that cannot be easily replicated.
But she made it happen, and now she was doing her best to handle three Tier 10s.
Luckily for her, Kathy and Miriam, now that they have activated their bloodlines, were able to handle the Tier 10s, taking two more off her hands.
But while Nadia contributed greatly to the battle, the five moon-borns Klaus met when he visited the moon were equally amazing.
Lycos, Dren, Tarn, Vela, and Zayn are also doing great jobs.
One thing Lucy learned from their first training in the Ant Kingdom was never to send your weakest soldiers to handle the weaker soldiers of your enemy.
She learned that much.
It was better to pair your weaker soldiers against the stronger soldiers of your enemy. This way, they can at least hold them back and wait for your stronger soldiers to finish off the small fries.
In battle, what kills morale is the number of remaining foes.
The more there are, the more heartbreaking it becomes for your soldiers.
So Lucy didn’t send the five Moonborns against the Tier 9s. No, she made them handle the Tier 8s, which was something they had been doing since they were Sages.
Now, they have become Transcendents, making them Tier 9s. So telling them to handle the Tier 8s was like giving them a resting period.
The five friends are moving in a coordinated manner, slaughtering the brutes that are said to be hard to kill.

This sight made Klaus’s friends finally realize that Klaus didn’t exaggerate when he said that the five Moonborns he made friends with had much more experience than they did.
They were intercepting the dangers behind one another, making it so they wouldn’t have to worry about anything appearing behind them.
Slowly, they were lowering the number of Tier 8s.
But that doesn’t mean they are the only ones doing the killing.
They aren’t, for on one side of the battle, a hurricane of fire and lightning was creating chaos among the ranks of the Tier 8 brute elephants.
At the center are Matt and Linda.
The two are doing just what is required of them when Klaus taught them the elemental bending technique.
Their control is improving, and while the two elements are two of the most powerful offensive-type elements, all the monsters getting caught in the hurricane aren’t coming out again.
It was like the air within the hurricane had been sucked out, so whenever they enter, the only thing coming out is their burning bones.
Klaus really has some potential on his hands, and the two are proving to be part of such potential.
Amelia and Sofia are also doing what is required of them.
They aren’t fighting Tier 10s this time, so the pressure has lessened greatly on them. And because they have already faced harrowing dangers, they are adapting quite well this time.
They are within a sea of flame coming from the dragon and phoenix, who are also chaotically turning the part of the battlefield.
Basically, everyone was doing a good job.
Five minutes into the waiting period Uncle Mark gave them, the last Tier 8s were taken care of.
"Anna, heal everyone and retreat," Lucy ordered her sister, causing Anna to nod.
"Elemental Avatar, rise!" She stabbed her staff into the ground, causing a water-like lady to rise behind her. This water lady held a staff identical to the one in Anna’s hands.
"In exchange for my energy, I command the healing water to rise!"
Everywhere on the battlefield, a pool of water rose and stopped at their uncle’s feet, filling everyone with potent healing energy.
In return, Anna turned pale, so Lily swooped in and carried her away, stopping only when she was far from the battle.
"Stay here for now, we will handle the rest."
The water spell she just used was one of the many ancient spells Klaus had taught her. It takes the remainder of her energy and converts it into healing energy that heals everyone but her.
Anna learned that spell for moments like this.
The moment they finished off the Tier 8s, they were meant to move toward the Tier 9s that were left with only 43. They quickly ganged up on them and started killing as many as they could.
It didn’t take long for Uncle Mark to give them a warning.
"My resistance is breaking, you all better hurry."
Lucy looked at three of her teammates who, from the start of the battle, hadn’t done anything aside from standing beside her with their eyes closed.
"Are you ladies ready?" she asked, directing her question to the triplets beside her. They nodded like the identical triplets they were.
"Kathy, Goddess Miriam, Aoi, go and help the Dean; the rest, be ready for my signal."
It was one of the rare moments in battle when you have more trump cards in your hands and have the opportunity to use them.
Lucy had these two, and while many were injured, none died, so her morale was high.
"You can start," Lucy said, and Aria, Nova, and Stella clapped their hands together and spoke the same words,
"Elemental Fusion." Three spell diagrams appeared, causing the sky to turn blue, red, and white.
