Bastard Homunculus: Reborn in the Corpse Pit-Chapter 143: The Vengeful Elf(Part 3)

"Please...please help us," Implored one of the Elders, bowing his head to the Knights with a grimace, as the other Elders followed suit.

"Understood. Celia, Colt and Tilda, the three of you stay back and guard the Queen. The rest of you...attack," Commanded Jules.

"Oh, crap! Hey, Teleporters, one of you, get me close, quick!" Exclaimed Aster urgently, as Leptar grabbed Nero by the throat and lifted him up off his feet.

"Leave it to me," Remarked Arren, placing his hand on Aster’s shoulder before teleporting behind Leptar.

"I’ve got you...[Telekinetic Zone]," Chanted Aster, as he appeared behind Leptar.

The Elf reacted with unreal speed, turning across and leaping away as fast as he could, grimacing as his left arm got caught up in Aster’s Zone before getting severely mangled, but he managed to pull it out of the grasp of the Telekinetic Zone before Aster could hold it in place.

He dropped Nero, who coughed sharply as he hit the ground, his eyes glazed over before he lost consciousness and collapsed onto the ground.

Leptar glanced at his arm as he backed away, getting some distance as he eyed Aster warily, blood streaming down his mangled left arm and dripping off his fingers onto the ground. freewebnσvel.cѳm

"What the hell...? Even if I hadn’t fully grabbed hold of his arm, it should’ve still been impossible to break free...then again, maybe not. Raven was able to move within my Zone with his Dark Form...but this guy, he escaped its grasp so easily, while Raven had to strain to move, is his brute strength even greater that Dark Raven’s?" Wondered Aster warily.

"Wow, that really hurts...I’ve never sustained such a severe injury before," Remarked Leptar with a frown, wincing as he tried to move his mangled arm.

"Arren, take the Grand Warriors to Raven and get them healed up, looks like they’re all unconscious but still alive. They’re in bad condition though, so hurry up," Instructed Aster, before turning his attention to Leptar and adding as Arren placed a hand on Nero and teleported away, "Gotta say, you’re unbelievably strong. But you’re at much less of an advantage now...with an injury like that, you’re not going to be able to fight nearly as effectively as you have been so far."

Leptar grimaced in pain, a bead of sweat trickling down the side of his face as he met Aster’s gaze...

"You...do you...do you have any idea...how long it’ll take to heal this!?"

"Huh?" Blurted out Aster, before his eyes widened as the mangled arm rapidly regenerated, a smirk spreading out across Leptar’s face as he shook the blood off his freshly healed arm, before Aster quickly backed away with a wary look on his face, adding, "You’ve got to be kidding me...I thought you couldn’t use Magic."

"I wouldn’t have survived for long in the wild if it wasn’t for this...early on, I did get injured several times while fighting Monsters, which was how I discovered this regenerative ability. And it isn’t Magic, it’s a purely physical ability. You see, I had to work hard to get as strong as I am now, it wasn’t as though I was this strong right from the start, I had to train relentlessly to ready this level."

"He’s monologuing again...but he hasn’t let his guard down at all, I see absolutely no openings," Aster thought to himself with a grimace.

"Through my arduous training, I discovered that the stronger I get, the stronger my regeneration becomes as well. See these scars? They’re from injuries I sustained when my regeneration was too weak to fully heal deep injuries," He remarked, before turning his gaze across to the left and springing back as a blazing wave of flames came shooting towards him, narrowing his eyes at Jules as he evaded her attack.

He then ducked as Wein swung his staff across while extending it out rapidly, the weapon whizzing over the top of his head before he swiftly reached out and grabbed hold of it, giving it a powerful tug.

Wein let out a startled yelp as he lifted off his feet and pulled towards Leptar at an alarming speed, before he gritted his teeth and fired out a concentrated blast of wind at the Elf, who swiftly let go of the staff and sprang back, evading the blast.

He then swiftly spun around as Jacks zipped up behind him, opening his mouth and firing out a deafening sonic screech at Leptar while simultaneously whipping his blades up towards the Elf’s throat.

Leptar grimaced as the sonic screech hit him, blood trickling out of his ears as the wave of sound ruptured his eardrums, dazing him before he gritted his teeth and reached out, managing to grap Jacks’s arms before his blades could reach him, before shaking his head slightly as his eardrums healed.

He then began tightening his grip on the Knight’s forearms, who winced in pain before opening his mouth, charging up a swirling blast of sound.

The Spell destabilized slightly as Leptar’s increasingly tightening grip fractured his forearms, before his eyes widened in alarm as the Elf swung his head forward with immense force.

Suddenly, Leptar halted and abruptly let go of Jacks, before spinning across to his left and crossing his arms in front of himself as a pair of rapid purple beams came shooting towards him, right as Hart teleported behind Jacks, placed a hand on his shoulder and teleported him away.

Leptar grimaced slightly as the beams slammed onto his forearms, burning his skin and boring through a few centimeters as his feet skidded back across the dirt, a telekinetic blast shooting in from his right as a roaring wave of flames blazed in from his left.

He let out a stifled yell of pain as the attacks converged and slammed into him, before swiftly lifting his gaze as Raven came swooping down towards him rapidly, fully tranformed and with his fist drawn back.

Raven let out a roar of exertion as he closed in and drove his fist forward, slamming onto Leptar’s palm with immense force and sending him flying back, before a loud crash echoed out as his back slammed against the side of a tree.

"Wow, you’ve got some impressive strength," Chuckled Leptar, his injuries healing as he got back onto his feet, a malevolent smirk on his face as he added, "As I said before, I have no quarrel with you humans...but since you insist on getting in my way, I’ll have to kill you."

He then raced away as Jules unleashed several blasts of flames towards him, evading them with ease as he shot towards Jacks, who fired out a devastating sonic screech.

Leptar swiftly crouched before springing up and leaping several meters up into the air, twisting his body across as Raven shot towards him and fired out his beams at him, narrowly evading them.

Raven coated his right fist in intense, crackling lightning as he closed in, before driving his fist forward with all his strength, his eyes widening in alarm as Leptar reached out and grabbed his wrist before his fist could reach him.

Leptar then swiftly tightened his grip before rapidly spinning across in midair with a sharp twist of his body, flinging Raven towards the trees with immense force, a deafening crash ringing out as Raven hurtled into the forest and slammed onto the ground with a powerful impact, his chin colliding against a jutted rock and dazing him.

As Leptar plummeting towards the ground, a rapid blast of wind came shooting out towards him, before he whipped his fist across as the attack closed in on him, canceling it out as his fist collided against him.

He then leapt off to his right as a roaring fireball came shooting towards him, a gust of heat bursting out as it slammed onto the ground, before he ducked as a rapid telekinetic slash zipped towards him, narrowly evading it as it severed a couple of strands of his hair.

As another blast of wind came barreling in towards him, he stayed low and shot forward, the blast shooting above him before he raced towards Wein with immense speed, leaping forward as he closed in and driving his fist towards the Knight with crushing force.

Wein sprang back in alarm and formed a swirling mass of wind in front of himself, but it only slightly slowed down the thrust of Leptar’s fist, which slammed onto the middle of Wein’s chest with immense force, a sharp crunch ringing out as several ribs shattered upon impact.

Wein coughed out blood with an agonized wheeze as he got sent flying back through the air, skidding across the ground painfully before coming to an aburpt halt as he crashed onto the side of a tree, losing consciousness as he collapsed onto the ground with a thud.

Leptar then zipped across as a fiery slash came barreling towards him, avoiding it before leaping forward as a piercing burst of telekinesis came shooting towards him.

He then narrowed his eyes as he noticed that the Teleporters, Arren and Hart, were teleporting Aster and Jules around, keeping them at a distance away from Leptar so that they keep attacking with long-ranged attacks.

Hart then teleported towards Wein, before teleporting him near the sidelines to get him out of harm’s way, and then teleporting back towards Aster.

Leptar paused for a moment, before he shot towards Jules, smirking slightly as Arren teleported her away. His gaze darted around rapidly, before locking on as the two of them reappeared several meters away, swiftly reaching down and picking up a stone, before flinging it towards Arren with immense force.

The flames around Jules’s sword intensified sharply as she swung it across to try and deflect the stone as it closed in, but there was too much force behind her, her blade only managing to slightly shift its trajectory upon impact, before the stone struck the left side of Arren’s head with a sharp thunk.

He stumbled back with a dazed groan before collapsing onto his knees and falling over with a thud, blood streaming down the side of his head as he lost consciousness and slumped against the grass.

Leptar then shot towards Jules rapidly, ducking and weaving as she unleashed a barrage of flame blasts at him, along with Aster firing out a volley of telekinetic slashes, evading the attacks before he leapt forward as he closed in on her.

She began to slash her blade at his, before quickly pulling back and raising it up defensively as she realized he’d reach her faster than her blade could reach him, his foot slamming onto the face of the blade, which failed to fully absorb the impact, which traveled through the blade and struck the middle of her torso, an agonized gasp of pain escaping her lips as blood poured out of her mouth, before she got sent flying back with immense speed, coming to screeching halt across the dirt.

She struggled to try and get back onto her feet, before collapsing as she coughed out more blood, pain throbbing across her torso as her vision blurred severely.

Aster quickly said something to Hart as Leptar began to step towards Jules, before Hart swiftly teleported to Jules’s side and teleported her away, but Leptar was quick to change targets, as he shot towards Jacks with immense speed.

Jacks raced away while firing out a barrage of sound blasts, but Leptar evaded the attacks with ease, weaving across to dodge them before putting on a burst of speed as he began to close in on Jacks.

Jacks came to a halt and swung one of his blades across at Leptar’s head, but the Elf ducked under the slash effortlessly, before an excruciating cry of pain rang out, along with the sound of bones cracking and flesh squelching, as Leptar drove his fist straight through the Knight’s body, bursting out his back as Jacks wheezed in agony, blood gushing out of his mouth and splattering across the grass.

"No!" Exclaimed Aster, as he fired out a fierce blast of telekinesis at Leptar, who swiftly sidestepped to evade it, the blast shooting past his left arm.

"D-Damn you...!" Uttered Jacks, mustering up what little strength he had left as he shakily raised one of his blades and drove it towards Leptar’s head.

He stiffened in despair as Leptar caught the blade with his teeth, smirking before swiftly reaching up with his other hand and grabbing hold of the top of his head, a sickening crunch ringing out as he crushed it.

Jacks’s body went limp as blood poured down his body from his crushed head, before Leptar swiftly spun around as Aster teleported behind him with Hart, a dark look in his eyes.

"You’ll pay for that," Aster uttered icily as he activated his Telekinetic Zone, but Leptar was quick to react, leaping back and out of the range of the Spell, before he locked onto Hart and drove his fist powerfully in his direction, firing out an intense shockwave.

Hart’s eyes widened in alarm as he quickly started to raise his sword up defensively, but he was too slow to react, as the shockwave slammed square onto the middle of his face and knocked him out upon impact.

Aster then began to step towards Leptar, aiming to get him within the range of his Telekinetic Zone and crush his head, before Leptar swiftly stomped on the ground, which rumbled violently and knocked Aster slightly off-balance, the intensity of his Telekinetic Zone briefly fluctuating.

But that brief moment was enough, as Leptar sprang forward and drove his fist towards Aster with all his strength, losing about half the momentum of his strike as his fist pushed through the Telekinetic Zone, before slamming onto Aster’s forearms as he just barely managed to cross his arms up in time, a loud crunch ringing out as the punch shattered Aster’s upon impact and damaged several ribs, launching Aster back through the air with immense speed, before he slammed onto the side of a tree, getting knocked out as the back of his head thudded against the tree.

Leptar then grimaced slightly as he felt twinges of pain across his forearm, Aster having managed to inflict some damage before the hit landed.

"Huh, not too bad," He muttered, as he healed his arm.

"I’ll KILL YOU!!!" Suddenly came Jules’s voice as Leptar began to step towards Hart to finish him off, turning his gaze in the direction the voice came from, before leaping off to his right as a blazing slash of flames came shooting towards him, evading it as Jules sprang forward with a sharp burst of flames from the soles of her feet to launch herself, swinging her blade down at the top of his head with all the force she could generate.

Leptar shuffled across to evade the slash before grabbed her left wrist, snapping it with a sharp twist of his hand and eliciting a stifled cry of pain from her, before he pulled her off balance and drove his knee up towards her stomach.

She unleashed a burst of flames around that spot as his knee closed in, slowing it down a bit before she wheezed in agony as his knee collided against her stomach with immense force, blood pouring out of her mouth with a sharp cough as several of her organs ruptured upon impact, before she got sent zipping up into the air, streaks of blood flowing out of her mouth as she got launched up high.

Leptar cracked his neck and began to race towards her as she started to plummet, before quickly turning to his right as a blazing wave of purple flames came roaring towards him.

He swiftly slammed his palms together as the flames closed in, triggering an intense shockwave that blew the flames away, before he smirked as Raven came barreling towards him through the flames, snapping his jaws open and firing out a deafening roar at him, which pushed Leptar back several meters across the ground as it struck him.

"You seem to have a number of amusing little tricks there...let’s see if you can entertain me," Chuckled Leptar, as Raven began to close in on him...
