Apocalypse with my SSS Harem Beauties-Chapter 172: Wiped Out

Myles immediately sensed the danger of the situation. The armored army had not simply charged blindly like the enemies they had faced before. It was as if they had planned this. The encirclement closed tightly around them, shields and spears forming a disciplined ring meant to trap and overwhelm them.

He had not expected this dungeon to produce enemies capable of battlefield tactics.

"Don’t give up!" Myles shouted loudly. "Use your skills now!"

At the same moment, he raised his hand and activated his Fireball skill.

A blazing sphere of flame formed instantly above his palm before launching forward. Compared to before, the skill moved more smoothly.

The Ether around him responded naturally to his will. Ever since he had begun to understand the flow of Ether, his control had improved dramatically.

The fireball exploded against a group of armored warriors, the blast sending several of them staggering backward or even falling.

Myles could already feel the difference. His control over Ether had become far more refined. His skills consumed less MP while producing stronger results.

And he believed his companions had experienced the same change.

He was right.

Until now they had relied mostly on their raw physical strength to crush the enemies they faced. But these armored warriors were far more disciplined and durable. They could not simply overpower them without more effort.

Victor moved. With a roar, he swung his cleaver in a powerful arc. Greenish energy burst from the blade and traveled forward like a crescent wave, cutting through the formation of warriors in front of him.

Several armored soldiers were thrown back as the slash energy crashed into their shields.

Samantha followed immediately. She drew her bowstring and activated her skill. A dark circle formed above her head like a portal made of shadows.

Dozens of Ether arrows emerged from the circle and rained downward like a storm of black streaks. The arrows pierced into the enemy formation with deadly precision.

Beside her, Ethan activated the ultimate ability of his twin pistols.

The weapons entered an overdrive state. The barrels glowed faintly as he began firing rapidly.

Each shot carried enhanced power. Bullets flew across the battlefield with perfect accuracy, striking enemy joints, helmets, and shield gaps with devastating force. Every shot carried roughly one hundred and twenty percent of its normal damage.

Daniel moved next. He activated his weapon skill and his body blurred across the battlefield like a bolt of lightning.

His dual blue blades flashed again and again as he dashed through the armored warriors, cutting at every opening he could find.

He moved without pause, striking enemy after enemy in rapid succession.

Then George lifted his massive hammer high above his head.

"TAKE THIS YOU BASTARD!"

With a thunderous shout he slammed it into the ground. The earth shook violently. A shockwave burst everywhere from the impact point, staggering almost every armored warrior around them.

The moment the enemies lost their balance, Clara stepped forward.

Her frost spear skill activated instantly. Cold energy surged along her weapon before spreading across the ground like freezing mist.

Ice rapidly crawled across the warriors’ legs and armor, freezing many of them in place.

That was the opening Kade needed.

With blazing gauntlets he rushed forward and began delivering explosive punches to the immobilized enemies. His attacks left burning damage across their armor as flames burst from the impact points.

The battlefield erupted with power.

Now that they understood Ether better, every skill they used became more efficient and more lethal. Their attacks consumed far less MP than before while producing greater destructive force.

In the past, using this many skills in a single battle would have drained their energy completely.

But now they could feel it clearly that they still had plenty of strength left.

The combined assault completely shattered the enemy encirclement. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Armored warriors fell across the grassy field. Broken shields, cracked armor, and lifeless bodies scattered across the ground.

Within minutes the pressure around them disappeared. The remaining soldiers seemed hesitant.

Then the last twenty warriors suddenly turned and began retreating across the field.

But Myles had no intention of letting them escape.

"Don’t let them get away!" he shouted. "Chase them down! Kill them all!"

Without hesitation, the group surged forward across the battlefield, pursuing the fleeing enemies.

The surviving warriors ran across the open field, their heavy armor clanking as they fled. Their disciplined formation had completely collapsed. Without the encirclement to support them, they were nothing more than scattered targets.

Myles chased at the front of the group. His eyes locked onto the retreating soldiers with clear killing intent as Ether surged through his body. The flow felt smoother than ever, almost effortless. Instead of conserving his MP like before, he simply unleashed it.

A blazing sphere erupted from his palm and shot forward. It slammed into the back of a fleeing warrior and exploded violently, throwing the creature forward before it collapsed onto the ground.

Myles didn’t stop there. Another fireball formed instantly in his hand. Then another. And another.

He began throwing them like a machine, launching one flaming sphere after another across the battlefield. The air filled with streaks of blazing fire as the explosions echoed repeatedly across the field.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Each detonation sent armored warriors crashing to the ground. Some were blasted off their feet, while others were caught in the expanding flames and fell.

They finally caught up with the retreating armored warriors.

Victor and Kade crashed into the remaining soldiers from the side.

Victor’s massive cleaver swung with brutal force, cleaving straight through shields and armor and sent sparks and fragments flying as another enemy collapsed beneath his huge blade.

Beside him, Kade’s flaming gauntlets hit. Every punch detonated with fiery force, denting armor and launching enemies backward.

Samantha stopped briefly and raised her bow again.

The shadow circle appeared above her once more.

A second storm of Ether arrows rained down on the retreating soldiers, the black streaks piercing through armor and pinning several warriors to the ground before they could escape.

Ethan continued firing without pause.

His pistols barked repeatedly, each enhanced bullet striking weak points with lethal precision. Soldiers fell as a shot pierced their visor and dropped when a bullet shattered his knee joint.

Daniel flashed through the battlefield like blue lightning. His blades killed the last scattered warriors, striking so quickly that several enemies collapsed before they even realized he had passed them.

George finished the final cluster and swung his massive hammer sideways, smashing two soldiers off their feet before bringing the weapon down again with terrifying force.

Within moments, the battlefield fell silent.

The last fleeing warrior staggered forward only to be struck directly by one final fireball from Myles.

The explosion threw the body across the grass.

Silence returned to the field.

Burning armor, broken weapons, and fallen soldiers lay scattered everywhere. The entire armored army had been wiped out.

Myles lowered his hand slowly while breathing hard as the last embers of fire faded from the air.
