1124 The Trick Behind The Star Weapons
It roared and suddenly appeared in front of me. All I saw was like a yellow sky was falling over my head before a crashing sound echoed in my ears.
“Damn fierce!” Instead of getting worried, I laughed. The chariot was already protected with an impregnable shield. And all it got was a slap that sent it flying away.
However the attack never dealt enough damage to my chariot’s shield to leave a single crack there. I looked at the distance while that zombie kept roaring again, seemingly ready to come at me for the second round.
“Get ready boys, we got a rock to crush,” I pointed towards the distance, “be ready… Once it comes, show it some love, will you?”
The moment I said that, I saw that familiar yellow figure pouncing at my chariot again. This time this anomaly zombie monster tried to crush my chariot using its entire body, giving me the feeling it was giving me a bear hug.
“Fire!” without flinching I gave the order, and without waiting for me to say it my fallen gods acted.
The rays of attacks landed and came into contact with that monster in less than a blink of an eye. I waited to see the blood storm, hear the heart curdling screams, but all I felt was a gale of wind passing past my face before crashing onto the ground.
“This…” I established my chariot to fly off again from the deep pit it created with such a hit. Just before I could let it rise for a few tens of metres, another hill-sized yellow shadow appeared and all I saw next was the world spinning all over me.
Dammit! That damn beast was having its fun while getting the momentum from me.
This time I didn’t even wait for the chariot to stabilise itself. Without any hesitation I aimed for the direction of the sky and went randomly towards one direction without even caring about the chariot’s current posture.
The result? Sure it was as you guessed, the chariot flew upside down for a mile before I suddenly changed its direction, flipped it over, and started flying in a zigzag line.
“Hahahaha! Nice trick bastard!” seeing the monster jumping over and slamming over nothing but empty air at the point I turned around made me laugh.
Did you think you won? Just by using such lame tricks? Dude, I fought five damn slippery monsters like you before and ended up winning!
Flying irregularly without a fixed pattern or direction helped to buy me sometime. “Don’t stand idle there, start shooting it!” I noticed my fallen gods were trying their best to not fall off and didn’t fire back.
These idiots… They could fly, so why were they concerned about falling?!
The moment my fallen gods returned to fire, I could finally see what was going on exactly with that giant behemoth.
The attacks of my fallen gods were tyrannical. Even if that grand zombie has thick skin and abnormal defences, it couldn’t possibly stop the attacks earlier without being thrown back in the air.
However from what happened back there I got the feeling that it negated all the attacks as if they never happened.
And as I was evading its attacks successfully, I finally got to see the reason behind this.
“Those damn angels…” I clenched my fists and raised my head to the high depths of the sky up above. From there, one ray of light descended to cover up that damn bastard, shielding it from my fallen gods’ attacks.
It came as a surprise. I didn’t expect the red stars high above to turn into such defensive supportive weapons.
Providing shields to the big zombies? Don’t tell me these angels were aware of the presence of these zombies beforehand and made up such an arrangement.
Thinking about it made me realise how hard this task became. I narrowed my eyes while looking at the far distant stars in the sky.
At first I had absolute confidence in dealing with them. They were already crushed before under my fallen gods ultimatum attacks.
However this all changed now. Trying to challenge tens of thousands of star weapons in terms of defence when they held such annoying defensive abilities? That wasn’t going to work.
Just watching the attacks of my fallen gods get blocked successfully by a single beam made me drop such an idea at once.
It wasn’t going to work. And I just gained another annoying uncontrollable factor in this quest.
The presence of these giant zombies wasn’t even in my plans. And now with such perfect defence, I knew the task of taking just a single one turned out to be much harder now.
Should I move and leave them for now? Thinking about this idea for a moment gave me goosebumps.
Each of the guardian monsters turned into a very advanced and mutated zombie. If I gave them the chance to develop their dens, then what I was going to face wasn’t just a mere low grade den but a very advanced one.
And that would make the task of retrieving this continent more impossible for me in the long run.
Should I give up on the entire continent then? A flash of idea passed through my mind, recalling something I missed.
“I can’t… Aside from the sacrifices I made all this time to get to this continent, the necromancer world is inside this continent. I can’t risk losing it, or afford losing my precious world…”
It was hard to make such a decision, especially with such a long fight waiting for me here.
During all these thoughts, I kept my chariot running around in the same irregular pattern. That zombie kept chasing down, yet it couldn’t even come closer to me.
But that wasn’t good either. During this time, with all the attacks landing on it from my fallen gods, not a single harm came to it.
I knew if just a few attacks passed, then this dude here would fall. However this never happened even for once.
The red stars high above kept giving that zombie cover all the time. I doubted even after staying here for weeks I’d even be able to kill it.
And that was just one of the four. Getting stopped here wouldn’t help me at all, instead it’d be me falling in the trap of the enemy.
What should I do then?
The same old idea flashed up again in my mind. “A general without an army is nothing…” This was the main concept I used before when I couldn’t deal with that damn zombie.
What was the point of being so mighty and untouchable? Without other weak zombies working for you, this big dude would take forever to lay down its den.
Once I decided, I didn’t bother with that damn thing again. “Listen up… Change in plans…” and I started to distribute orders for my fallen gods.
The plan was simple. At first I’d lead them all over the place, clearing all the zombies near this place.
This mission looked easy on the surface. But when I kept jumping around, that damn behemoth didn’t slack behind and tried its best to come at me.
It placed more pressure over me, and made it slightly longer to clear all the zombies in the region. For the same reason I didn’t summon any of my warriors here or else they’d be killed instantly by that zombie behemoth and would turn into new zombies.
After three hours, the entire place turned upside down. The old scars of the previous epic war reopened and more new wounds surfaced as well.
Yet the result was satisfying. Other than the initial hole that was dug from the beginning before my arrival, the project of building that den got halted.
There wasn’t a single zombie in the vicinity for tens of miles around. Seeing this made me nod in satisfaction. “It took me roughly five to six hours to deal with this place. It’s time to go back and start deploying my forces around before jumping over.”
Even if I dealt a good blow to this grand zombie, this wasn’t enough. This dude could teleport all over the place and could reach out to the far away day dallying zombies to bring them over.
So I first moved back to the centre of this region before opening a portal and jumped at it. Just as the portal closed, I saw that huge yellow and ugly body slamming hard against it.
It crashed on itself even before closing. However I already appeared at one of the many entrances of this basin.
“Come out!” The zombies were still lingering in great numbers here. As I summoned millions of my warriors, I left the task of clearing these zombies over to my fallen gods warriors.
It didn’t take more than an hour to summon tens of millions of warriors in different locations before finally jumping towards another basin.
