Surviving As An Extra In Fantasy World Isn't Easy-Chapter 137 :Church Under Attack[4]

Have you ever felt that you have been worried in vain?

That's what Lucas was feeling now.

Lucas knew he was poor when compared to others still he had never felt that so-called inferiority complex till now.

The portable ring that turns into vestige armour wasn't an ordinary thing. This was an artifact that cost a lot and on top of that, only a master blacksmith could craft something like this. The defences against physical attacks were absolute.

These types of armour were only possessed by the nobles.

Lucas didn't know about the rank but if their armour were C rank then no 5-Star attack could kill them. Though they may be injured from the shock blast of the attack, they won't die.

Looking at their transformation, Lucas shouted"What the hell? If you have these, why didn't you wear them until now? Did you think we were walking in the garden?"

Humphrey turned towards Lucas. His head was covered with a helmet so Lucas didn't know what expression he was making.

"Lucas, it's not that simple. Look here."Humphrey pointed at the crest engraved over his chest.

"Once we take out this armour, we represent our house. We can't lose our face after we put this on and put shame on your houses. So, unless required, no noble would dare to wear this especially if you aren't the head of the house," Humphrey spoke in a high-sounding tone. 𝐛𝗲𝐝𝐧𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝗼𝐫𝗴

Lucas gritted his teeth.

If not for the situation, Lucas would have punched Humprehy.

'These vain pride of the nobles. You all deserve to die.No, let's stop.'Lucas closed his eyes to calm down.

Besides the three coachmen, Lucas saw two priests acting as support to dispel the curses but their combat capability was either weak or too low for them to engage in.

He focused his gaze up ahead. The three coachmen were at 6-Star and the battle was in a standoff, but one of them noticed the student's presence and moved back to clear the pathway for children.

All of them, who had their bodies stiffened with shock, let out a sigh of relief after putting down their armour.

Charles, who had the highest authority here, stepped ahead.

"Please leave the ghouls to us. Just keep the black magicians in check."

"Okay, we will try to block as much danger as possible."The wrinkled faced man muttered.

Charles then turned back and instructed"Humphrey and Tiffany would stay at the rear. Rose and Monica would be in the middle and I would lead from the front. We will form a circle around Lucas. Since he doesn't have any armour, he is vulnerable so we will protect him."

Everyone naturally agreed to Charles's proposal.

They proceeded as carefully as possible but it was impossible to dodge the incoming enemies.

Dozens of weird monster-shaped ghouls were wriggling and running around. Some of the dogs turned into ghouls were screaming, after noticing their presence.

The ghouls squirmed their way towards them.

Charles immediately stepped forward to meet them head-on.

Swish!

Vertical lines were drawn in the air and the ghoul that passed through the line broke into three pieces forming perforated lines, from which black blood oozed out.

As the ghoul stopped moving, two dogs jumped at Charles from behind but before they could reach him, one of the dogs was struck down by an arrow while another skull was cracked open by the bullet.

On turning back, he saw Rose aiming with her bow while Lucas held a long black gun.

Lucas waved at him and spoke coldly, "I may look useless but I am not."

Charles clicked his tongue with a faint chuckle

'Anyone who thinks of you as useless will not know when he will die.'

Charles then caught the sight of beastly pupils glaring at them and shouted.

"All ready for battle."

The bony figure that had been rushing towards the front was crushed by a skull with a loud bang.

Countless ghouls swarmed in. Onto the left, arrows blasted them drilling a hole into their bodies and on the left, they were assaulted under the barrage of Monica's spells.

[Wind Lance]

[Firidum Heveosa]

Fire erupted and burned them while lances made of wind struck them down.

The ones that were able to pass through the barrage met Tiffany and Humphrey's assault.

Tiffany's axe shot down like thunder. With a puck, she splits the ghouls that were rushing towards them into two.

Tiffany spun around and shot another one.

With a thump, a scream erupted with a shockwave. Humphrey picked up the rapier from the scabbard like lightning, and a blade coated in silver aura pierced the head of the ghouls.

BAAM!BAAM!BAAM!BAAM!

The sound of screams and blasts resonated around Lucas.

Calm and collected, Lucas shot them down to provide support. He rolled his eyes over Tiffany and wondered how many axes she had kept in store in the storage ring.

"Rose, don't use too much force. Just coat the tip with wind and burst their head. Making a hole in the chest is of no use but if you destroy their head it would be difficult for them to find the enemy," Lucas spoke with a slight hesitation as he had no prior engagement with her.

"Okay!"

Rose, staring at Lucas, gave a slight nod and surprisingly followed his instructions without any hesitation.

"Thankfully she isn't arrogant."Sighing in relief, Lucas squatted down and aimed at the ghouls. Since the ghouls can't use mana to strengthen themself or cover them, even simple bullets were enough to pin them down. However, he needs two to three bullets to burst their head.

As if practising, targets Lucas immersed in shooting them while scanning around. Their number was endless.No matter how many, they killed more and kept swarming in.

"If we stay here, we will either die of exhaustion or make a mistake."Lucas bites his lips. Unlike others, he didn't have armour so he had the highest chance of getting injured.

Looking at the carriage that seemed to be around 200 metres away from him, Lucas made a decision.

"I am just being a nuisance to you all and pulling you down. So, I suggest you form a squad to go ahead."Lucas advised while shooting down unruly dogs.

"What? You are asking us to abandon you."Charles spoke in disbelief.

"I mean, I will run towards the carriage. I have my movement technique so stop worrying about me."Lucas assured them and then ran ahead pulling out his sword.

Sharp golden air scratched the air.

Two ghouls screamed and twisted their bodies trying to block him but Lucas just jumped over them and as soon as he landed on the ground, his image vanished from everyone's sight.

[Shadow Steps]

Lucas emerged 50 metres up ahead and then activating the flash steps, he lunged ahead. Getting into the radius of a shadow, he disappeared again.

Swaying to and fro, Lucas finally appeared near the carriage. The moment he emerged, his back turned cold, feeling danger.

"Shit!"

Looking back, his eyes widened seeing strong ghouls. It seems he had stepped out from the shadow of the intermediate ghoul so instead of engaging, he ran away.

The ghouls were faster and extended its long gnarly hands to catch him but Lucas just turned around and threw a vial of Holy Water.

SCREECH!

A screeching wail echoed and the hands that stretched out towards him were burnt.

Lucas pulled out a token and jumping ahead rolled on the floor.

The ghoul behind him following him jumped but he slammed against an invisible wall and was thrown back.

Getting up, Lucas saw a blue barrier.

"Thank God!"Lucas wiped off the sweat and as he looked around, he saw three familiar figures knocked unconscious.

"Ezekiel, Jenette and Haily. So they are already here."Lucas felt bitter seeing them safe and sound.

The ghoul, after failing to break through the barrier, walked back.

Gasping heavily, Lucas stared at the battlefield.

The battle between guards who disguised themselves as coachmen were having a hard time dealing with the black mages. Along with the army of ghouls, it was especially vexing for them to deal with the two.

With the appearance of Charles and others, they can fully concentrate on the black mages as a major chunk of the ghoul is moving towards the student group but despite this, it would be difficult to make a breakthrough.

They need someone whose attack can reach the other side.

Finally, after a long arduous journey, Charles and others managed to reach here.

"Are you alright?"

"Yes, except for the fact that we are completely exhausted," Charles spoke in a dry tone.

As soon they entered, all of them slumped down on the floor.

"What will we do now? Stay here cooped up?"Monica asked, gasping heavily.

"Until the black mage is defeated, we have to stay here," Humphrey spoke.

"What if they won? I mean in terms of the number our side is at a disadvantage?"Tiffany spoke with a worried expression.

"That's not a problem anymore. We already won"Lucas declared.

"Enn!"

"What?"

"Huhh!"

Seeing their confused expression, Lucas pointed ahead with a smile"Just watch!"

"Our saviour is here!"

As soon as Lucas's words fell, leaving behind a flash something struck near the black mages. The lightning blasted them, giving them a shock.

When the dust dissipated, a spear appeared in every one view that rose back in the air and flew in the air towards the man who exuded mighty pressure.

His armour was stained with blood but despite this, it wasn't able to hide the shiny austere. The moment, a pair of deep bluish eyes locked onto the black mage, their whole body shuddered and a deathly chill blew over them.
