The Apostle Zelkoukou was covered in wounds from the successive battles.
He leaned wearily against the stone of the cave, relying on the earth element to slowly repair his body.
As an Earth Demon Statue, he possessed a high level of resistance and defence, and also had a certain chance of being immune to his opponent’s attacks and spells. However, his opponent’s blood sucking ability was extremely restraining, and the more he fought, the stronger he got, not afraid of attrition at all, so it was extremely hard for him to cope.
On the front battlefield, the Fifth Fearless Empire’s army’s attack was like a tidal wave, winning every battle, making the stalled Zelkoukou dry up in his heart.
The enemy soldiers possessed excellent spears, throwing spears, shields and bows and arrows, were experienced in combat, and had a transcendent creature with excellent endurance [Sand Lizard] to help them in battle.
Faced with a regular army that was far more numerous than their own, it was almost difficult for the Wuzhi’s hastily formed resistance army to form an effective counterattack. Sometimes, the Wuzhi warriors even had to blow themselves up to slow down the enemy’s advance.
This was not a solution at all.
If it wasn’t for the imperial side’s desire to capture the Wuzhi people alive as much as possible and reduce casualties, the situation in the kingdom would be much more difficult today.
Zelkoukou knew in his heart that the hope of the Uzi Kingdom turning back to victory was already extremely slim.
Even if the Wuzhi people hid underground, the Empire’s sand lizards would be able to find them.
The enemy had already used a series of methods such as pouring water, pouring oil, and lighting fires before. The black ooze was very difficult to extinguish after being ignited by fire, and without this layer of protection, the highly poisonous water would be able to drive the Wuzhi into despair.
The Uzis have been fighting the enemy desperately to protect their homes, their faith and their freedom.
But ……
what will it take to win?
Zelkukku silently pressed down on his wounds, repairing them with quicksand.
He suddenly rolled sideways.
With a clatter, the spot where he was originally located was chopped by a huge axe, and debris flew everywhere.
The enemy was like a shadow.
“The Earth Demon Statue is indeed resistant.”
The opponent grinned and drew a black giant axe one person high, “Unfortunately, it’s me you’ve encountered. Let’s see if your advanced immunity triggers more, or this blood-sucking axe of mine sucks more.”
Zelkoukou adjusted his breathing to get himself into the best state possible.
The person in front of him was one of the four apostles of the Glass God, Shane.
Shane’s rank and battle power were above his own.
Originally, Zelkoukou’s appearance in the battle had finally stabilised the front line, but the arrival of the berserker Shane had broken the balance. Most of the injuries on Zelkoukou’s body also came from that great axe.
“I appreciate your loyalty and tenacity, but since you refuse to submit to the Lord of the Glass God, there is only one way to die.”
“Zelkoukou, dying in your homeland is my last mercy for you.”
Shane’s eyes became pitch black as he swung the giant axe in his hand, slashing the Earth Demon Statue to the point where it fell back, its body covered in cracks.
Zelkoukou’s head, arms, and shoulders were chopped off again and again as he continued to repair them.
He moved slower and slower, to the point where he was even down to half a face, his mana no longer supporting the restoration of his entire body, and the earth demon statue was struggling just to stand.
“It’s over.”
Shane grinned, the axe in his hand slashing down head on.
At that very moment, a white shadow flashed past him, and moonlight suddenly appeared in daylight.
Shane had an extra line of blood on his neck, and black blood spurted out. He scrambled to cover the wound on his throat and looked around in bewilderment.
Who, who was it?
King Uzi?
No, this wasn’t King Uzi’s fighting style.
King Uzi’s ability was to explode and dissolve, not to fight like this. And with so little of His divinity left, He would never waste it on Himself, but wait for Lord Bosein.
The power and temperature were fading rapidly from the torso.
The feeling of death was so clear.
Suck the blood, suck the blood, suck the blood hard for me!!!!
The mind was thinking desperately, but the hands and feet were already completely out of control.
With just one blow, his life was cut off by the unseen enemy.
Shane felt the absurdity and cruelty of fate.
Who on earth, who ……
He desperately opened his eyes, trying to see the assassin’s appearance. But his vision had become extremely blurred, and he only saw a white steed, the horse’s eyes burning with ghostly flames, and the beast didn’t even look at himself.
Ha?
He was bitten to death by a horse?
No, it was never a horse.
It just looked like one.
What happened? Where did this horrible monster come from?
A thought popped into Shane’s head as he was dying.
A bizarre natural disaster has descended on this world, no one can escape, everyone must die, never just yourself ……
With this comfort, Shane’s consciousness completely blurred, and his tall body fell backwards along with the giant axe.
The earth demon looked like it had survived a robbery, and the only half of its face left was full of astonishment.
Shane possessed a blood-sucking giant axe that could constantly obtain life force from his enemy’s wounds to replenish himself, so he was extremely good at frontal stranglehold battles, and instead, he would get stronger and stronger the more he fought.
Zelkoukou was completely restrained by him in terms of his characteristics.
But it was such a powerful and flawless apostle that was killed by a single blow from this sudden stranger, and the flame of faith was extinguished on the spot.
The other party gave himself a cold look.
The earth demon statue, however, felt a tingling sensation, and physical primal fear made it tense and lower its head, as if it was being gazed at by some kind of high-placed predator.
He caught an afterimage.
The visitor was a female human.
She wore a horned helmet of white bone, and a red cloak enveloped her bandaged, slender body. In terms of appearance and temperament, she did not look like a fierce warrior, but more like a king visiting the frontline.
The white bone sword in her hand, which was like a work of art, had easily killed a high-level apostle a few moments ago.
Shane’s corpse was still radiating warmth.
“Who …… are you?”
Zelkoukou inquired with some restraint.
The swordswoman didn’t say a word as she picked up the giant axe from the ground, blinking the weapon disappeared without a trace.
Another figure suddenly fell in the air.
The visitor said, “The surrounding area is confirmed safe, no other Apostles have been found.”
The swordswoman didn’t respond to her own people either, just a few swords to completely destroy Shane’s body.
The newcomer was a young, black-robed sorceress, who wore a spellcap and held a wand, except that her eyes were wrapped in black cloth, and she appeared to have eye injuries.
“Zelkoukou, you’d better take the time to heal now.”
She said her name in a single word.
The earth demon statue was surprised in his heart.
The opposing party exuded the oppressive feeling of a higher rank, not as sharp and stinging as the swordswoman, but just as overriding.
How could there be a strong person of this rank within the kingdom? How could one be completely unaware of it.
They were by no means the God-sama’s apostles.
The Uzi Kingdom’s apostle was now the only one left to himself.
Zelkoukou said warily, “Who are you people? What are you doing here?”
“My name is Isabel.”
The witch’s voice was gentle, “We are here by order of the gods. As the Bose God is invading this world, we have come to check out the situation and ask if you need any help.”
Zelkoukou thought in his head.
They shouldn’t be from the Glass Gods, otherwise they wouldn’t have killed Apostle Shane in a single glance. Any apostle was an important arm to the gods.
But their identity was mysterious, their strength was terrifying, and their purpose was difficult to judge.
Thinking was not Zelkoukou’s forte.
He decided to take them to the gods.
With the wisdom of the god-sama, he could surely judge their true intentions.
If they had ill intentions, the divine might of the gods would be enough to deter them.
“Both of you, please follow me.”
The Earth Demon Statue rolled all the way around, burrowing into an underground passageway, piloting the Earthwalker Boat through a section of complex caves, and bringing the visitors to a safe area dotted with mountains after a circuitous journey.
“Please wait.”
The two otherworldly visitors waited quietly.
The earth demon statue’s body stiffened, its eyes radiating white light, and its entire being exuding a solemn aura that was very different from before.
“Two guests, I am the god of this world, you may address me as King Uzi.”
King Uzi communicated with them through the apostle’s body.
……
Lu Yao, who was overlooking all of this, held a hot glass in his hand and drank the honey pomelo tea that Little Fire had brewed.
The entire process went smoother than expected.
Due to the anchored world, the passageway opened by the Golden Wilderness didn’t cause a cross-border weakening, and both Isabelle and Sarina entered the Wuzhi Kingdom in a ten-perfect state.
Sarina directly paired up her [Ghost White Horse], pulling her mobility and explosive power to full strength.
With Isabelle’s [Sword of the Forest] enchantment, the female tyrant launched a thunderous attack on LV36 Apostle Shane.
Relying on the [Advanced Camouflage] that came with the White Horse, the first of Sarina’s Moonlight Sword Blade’s four attacks inflicted double damage, instantly hitting 2.5 times the attack, and instantly pulling her burst right up to 767 points, triggering the Execution Announcement, and directly spiking Shane.
He looked at the newly arrived props.
……
【Bloodsucking Giant Axe LV4】：Damage +4, Defence -1. Use it as the only weapon to open 【Backlash】.
……
【Blood Sucking】：When the user’s life value is lower than half, each attack can draw a certain amount of the opponent’s life value, the lower the life value of your party, the stronger the blood sucking effect.
……
Lu Yao’s eyes lit up as he watched.
Shane himself wasn’t very good, but this equipment was really a small artifact for long-lasting battles.
Sarina was using a sword and it wasn’t suitable, but the Blood Absorbing Axe was a perfect match for the Blood Knight.
It made sense that the Blood Knight had a Blood Absorption ability.
