547 Similar: Part 2

“she was here while you transcended, waiting for you to finish so that she can kill you and then eat you!” the golden red humanoid quickly said. “the only way for you to get out of here is to kill her! otherwise—”

before he could finish, lin sheng had disappeared from where he was. he was using a ward of G.o.d’s speed, the power of the dark wheel exploding at once. everything in the surroundings flew past at warp speed like a muddled fuel in a barrel. when he felt he had made enough distance, he slowed down and finally stopped.

when the scenery around him came to a standstill, his face collapsed. he was still at the same spot, in front of the woman. he felt a glacial gaze from the woman on him. she was staring at him.

“you…!”

…

annihilatus, the one-eyed giant stumped toward the city wall of shermanton. around it was a powerful legend-cla.s.s force field. everything, everyone—be it monsters or humans—was turned into minced meat within the twisting force field.

as it approached the city wall, it reached to grab the ten-meter-tall wall of shermanton. just then, a loud and violent explosion broke out behind the one-eyed giant. a huge fireball rose. the scarlet flame had penetrated the one-eyed giant’s force field and did its damage on the giant’s back.

the one-eyed giant stopped and turned its head around as it grabbed back with its hand. the centaur lord was running on all four in the air, swiftly dodging the giant’s hand.

“come on, you big clumsy lump of meat! see how fast i’m moving!”

khur warspear, the centaur lord, was very clear of one thing; he firmly believed that it was during this crucial moment that he could show more of his loyalty and steadfastness, that by creating a contrast with those who flinched in the battlefield the holy emperor exalted him. he had reached the limit of his strength and lifespan. by only clinging on to the holy emperor’s feet, he might be able to get to greater heights.

“come after me, you idiot!” the centaur lord knew he was playing with his life. but nothing ventured, nothing gained. if he did not take the risk, it would be akin to hoping fate would be kind to him, which was only a flight of fancy.

he took an opportunity skimming over those people on the city wall. sin dragon matriarch, who was still here a while ago, had now gone. it was apparent that those powerful beings, who could only survive for a moment in the black tide, had fled.

“not sure if my gamble is going to pay off. but…” the centaur lord flipped midair and flew up, just in time dodging annihilatus, the one-eyed giant’s attack, “i’m the G.o.dson of the holy emperor. i am khur warspear, the centaur lord!”

he oscillated all his strength, amplifying the sound waves so that half of the city could hear his name. it was necessary to make himself heard at this time so that the holy emperor knew he was the only one here at the most critical moment. khur warspear, the centaur lord, was not one of but the single most dependable man.

“even if i am alone!” khur warspear roared. “even if everyone else has fled!”

his voice was getting louder and louder, above the hollers of the black tide monsters. “even if my strength is far lower than yours! but, for the sake of your, the holy emperor. for the sake of the city your majesty wants to protect, i, khur warspear, will not give up!”

the centaur lord shouted to the top of his lungs, using his power to spread his voice over the entire holy city.

“now everyone should have known i am the one who buys them time.”

the centaur lord threw another holy blast grenade. this grenade was far more powerful than an equivalent-sized plastic explosive. just the size of a fist, the effective damage range was one hundred meters radius. what made it more deadly was the added sacred crystals, which could inflict lethal damage to the black tide monsters. just because of that, he could draw the attention of the one-eyed giant.

if it hit its target, with the added power boost from the centaur lord, the damage that the holy blast grenade caused would be at a magister-level. but due to extremely low production, deployment was slow and took a long time. there were few in stock.

after a while of continuous explosions, it still had no effect on the one-eyed giant except for the little white ash on its back and thighs. done with what he wanted to do, it was time to disappear. the centaur lord fled into the distance.

“aah! i, khur warspear, the centaur lord! do i really have to die here today?” nothing else mattered; voices had to be loud so that everyone knew, right now, right here, that he was the only one who fought and held back the one-eyed giant.

“my comrades, where are you all? why am i the only one left?”

khur warspear roared as he fled. right now, it was the time to show what brotherhood was all about. he wanted to let everyone know that he was the only one left to fight while others had fled.

the centaur lord and the one-eyed giant fought for two more rounds. at last, the one-eyed giant discovered that the centaur lord could not do any damage to him. he ignored him and focused his attention on shermanton.

the centaur lord retreated quickly. he had achieved what he wanted, merits and fame were awaiting him. his motivation was irrelevant here. the important thing was he had bought everyone some time so they could evacuate.

“your majesty, i’ve done what i am supposed to do. if you’re not coming back now, there is nothing i can do now…”

a huge nine-fingered hand smashed into the high wall of shermanton. artillery fire and explosion from the pure white, holy power were useless against the nine-fingered hand. the middle section of the wall, along with the city gate, had collapsed. this signified the collapse of the shermanton defense system.

the cleric warrior roared in anger and despair, charging toward the monsters that tried to pour in through the breach in the wall. but before they and the monsters could come close, the legend-cla.s.s force field of annihilatus twisted and tore them into pieces.

the power of annihilatus was indiscriminate, which was the only consolation. at least, they did not have to worry about those monsters when annihilatus was present.

the one-eyed giant finally entered shermanton. after the defense was breached and the magic circle failed, the city’s residents, who were waiting and thinking they were still safe, started to collapse mentally when they saw the one-thousand-meter-tall, one-eyed giant come toward them.
