Chapter 1703: Part 2: Diverting the creatures to the special battlefield

Outside

An hour ago,

Council Elder Freya and the other elders were guiding all the threatening elite creatures to the special battlefield instead of the main battlefield.

The foreign creatures were not aware of the special battlefield. So, they entered the battlefield without any suspicion.

To them, it was the main battlefield.

Council Elder Freya’s expression and those of the other elders were grim. They were controlling the passage that led to the exit of the space cracks.

From one side, the foreign creatures were entering. Their destination was the battlefield.

However, the elders were the ones deciding which battlefield they entered, as they could control the exit doors. They were able to see the foreign creatures traveling inside the passage.

The facial expressions of Freya and the other elders were full of dread for a reason.

They saw that a greater number of elite creatures had entered the passage this time. To save the main battlefield from experiencing a massacre, they had directed a larger number of elite creatures to the special battlefield.

It was quite unfair to Zack Lockwood, but they had no other choice. They had immense confidence in Zack Lockwood’s strength. This was due to the new record he had set in the Night Cell Tower.

The elders were glad that Zack Lockwood had been able to become a Red Mark Warrior in time. If not, he wouldn’t have been able to stop this many elite creatures.

Elder Freya felt a slight guilt. The difference in strength between Zack Lockwood and the other Red Mark Warriors was too vast.

If the other warriors were as strong as Zack Lockwood, they would have defeated the foreign creatures a long time ago.

Freya was also glad that Zack Lockwood was from Star University. If he had been from another university, their elders wouldn’t have allowed it. Not only that, but they also had to appreciate Zack Lockwood.

If Zack Lockwood had caused problems, they wouldn’t have created the special battlefield. Because of Zack Lockwood, they were able to contain the current situation.

...

Special Battlefield

On the battlefield, I continued to explore the surrounding areas. Then, I spotted another foreign creature. When I appeared in front of it, I was taken aback.

The elite creature was none other than the Dead Fang-a lizard-type creature with spikes all over its back. It had an enormous head with sharp teeth lining its mouth.

I had faced the Dead Fang creature before. I had killed one before. The creature, standing over four meters tall at the shoulder, charged at me.

It was indeed the Dead Fang. I had heard that this creature was rare, so I didn’t expect it to appear here.

Boom!

The Dead Fang charged at me right away. I began to circulate the lightning power through my body, projecting it outward. The dark-purple lightning was bordered in crimson.

Boom!

In a flash, my fist snapped out. The punch landed on the lizard creature’s tail. The lightning power surged forth and struck it.

Boom!

A detonation occurred. The impact force sent the Dead Fang backward. The massive creature then crashed into the ground.

Boom!

The landing was heavy. The shockwave spread outward. In the blink of an eye, the impact force reached me. I withstood it and continued to watch the creature.

The Dead Fang lay on the ground. Dark smoke rose from its body.

I recalled past memories. Last time, I had killed the Dead Fang by expending all my inheritance force, but this time, the lightning power alone was enough.

Thud!

The Dead Fang’s body shook. It then stood on its feet, turned around, and glared toward the human. It had never faced such a human before.

The earlier attack had almost paralyzed it.

Boom!

The Dead Fang turned to face me. The elite creature began to draw upon dark origin power, which spread across its entire body.

Feeling empowered, it charged toward the human warrior again. It did not believe that a human could withstand the might of its dark origin power.

Swoosh!

In a flash, the Dead Fang appeared right before me, its massive claw sweeping down. Seeing that, I was not surprised. I punched forward as the fist connected with the creature’s body.

Boom!

The lightning power enveloped the entire creature. A second later, the powerful beast was blasted backward, flying into midair once again.

It flew back before crashing hard into the ground. The dark-purple lightning ruptured its skin and flesh, penetrating deep into its internal organs. A moment later, the energy scorched its insides in the blink of an eye.

Boom!

The lightning power completely destroyed its internal organs. The massive frame of the Dead Fang collapsed onto the ground. Scorched, dark smoke billowed from its body.

The Dead Fang was completely dead. The corners of my mouth curved into a smirk.

Last time, I had to fight all day and expend the full power of my inheritance to kill one. But this time, I used lightning power alone to end its life.

I hadn’t expected a Dead Fang to appear aside from the top-ranked elites. I wondered whether the Thorn Reaper and Venom Maw had appeared as well. If they were here, I wouldn’t be surprised.

Time passed.

I continued surveying the area, encountering other foreign creatures along the way. I killed them on the spot with my dark lightning power.

However, I failed to notice that the inheritance force within my dantian was depleting at an accelerating rate.

If this continued, I would have to rely on other inheritance forces. Still, I wasn’t worried about my own situation; rather, I was concerned about the main battlefield.

If these elite creatures had entered the main battlefield, the situation there would have been disastrous.

I didn’t know the casualty rate, but I hoped it wasn’t a total bloodbath. Such a massacre had already occurred at the sub-post; if it happened here, it would shatter the morale of the human forces.

Finding a spot nearby, I sat down and decided to take a break. At the same time, I asked the ancient spirit to watch over the surroundings.
