Volume 6: Fighting for the World Chapter 9: The Final Battle (1)
What happened before my eyes was too tragic. Two people died and two were injured in a split second. By the time I reacted, it was too late to save anything. No matter how highly I evaluated my opponent beforehand, I could not imagine that the Fire Wizard Veraman had the ability to kill Daxiu with a single blow. It was simply impossible to defend against. Even the "self-explosion" of the terrifying Fire Crab Knight Sham was quite unexpected. I really don't understand how Hades, the King of the Underworld, "brainwashed" these men, making them so "willing" to "work" for him, even willing to sacrifice their precious lives.
Daxiu's death is a great loss to me. Not to mention that he is the first "native" member I developed in the "Hell Volcano", his sacrifice means that the Flying Fire Ghost Clan, which has a strong evolutionary potential, has only Gu Ben left. Although their current strength is not very good, not only far inferior to the strong men of other races, but also slightly inferior to Hader, but as long as they can successfully evolve into the Flying Fire Ghost King, they will undergo a complete transformation, and the strength they can improve is definitely beyond the reach of other alien undead. This is also a major reason why the Flying Fire Ghost Clan has a small population, but there are many outstanding figures in the "Hell Volcano" throughout the ages. Even if Gu Ben's description at the beginning was due to "personal worship", there may be some "water" in it, but the "missing" predecessor who instructed it has at least the strength of a ninth-level magic beast, which has been confirmed by Khufu. What's more, there is also the form of the Ghost King above it, which will never be weaker than the Great Pharaoh of the Mummy Clan. They are all powerful beings with strengths beyond those ordinary Hades Dragons.
A possible "strong ally" was gone. I first urgently asked Taotao, who was affected by the "self-explosion", and confirmed that it was not in danger of life. I was furious and was about to take corresponding "revenge" actions to vent my anger. Unexpectedly, the first to launch a counterattack was Guben, a fellow brother who had always been "incompatible" with Daxiu. While witnessing Daxiu turned into ashes, Guben let out a shrill scream, then rushed forward with all his strength, and took a heavy blow from Alexander, breaking through its defense. The bayonet in his hand fiercely stabbed the "culprit" Veraman who was lying on the ground. Perhaps the fierce blow just now had exhausted almost all of Veraman's mental power. With just one shot, its body lit up with a white light symbolizing death, and it followed in the footsteps of Daxiu.
Guben, who successfully killed Veraman, raised his head and let out another long howl towards the place where Dashu disappeared. He even ignored my orders and did not try to parry or dodge Alexander's subsequent attacks. If Taotao had not dragged his seriously injured body and rushed over in time to entangle Alexander, he would probably have been in great danger.
The accident had already happened, but the battle was still going on. I had no time to "taste" and take care of Gu Ben's complicated state of mind after he lost his strongest competitor and fellow brother. I used the restraining power of the "Soul Contract" to force him to stay away from the battlefield to avoid any more accidents. Gu Ben, whose mind was quite confused, was somewhat alert. He spread his wings and flew into the sky, circling back and forth at the place where Daxiu died , refusing to leave for a long time, and constantly wailing.
Even without using skills, Ksitigarbha and Gonzalez together were no match for Khufu, and with Hades' support, they could only defend themselves at this point, and had basically lost the ability to fight back. I withdrew Taotao, who was seriously injured, and let him and Hades hold Ksitigarbha and Gonzalez back, while Khufu dealt with Alexander, the leader of the black warriors. I dared not take these "direct" subordinates of Hades lightly anymore. Who knows if they will use any "mutual destruction" tricks again? It is better to get rid of them as soon as possible to prevent future troubles.
Khufu would naturally show no mercy to
With three out of five gone, the opponent's defeat was certain. When Khufu solved Alexander and rejoined the battle, Dizang and Gonzalez soon lost their ability to resist and collapsed to the ground with serious injuries. The main culprit had been eliminated, and the anger caused by Dashu's death had been slightly calmed. After hesitating for a while, he consulted Khufu's opinion and finally decided to let these two "accomplices" go. They usually had a close relationship with Hades and were suppressed a lot. This time, they represented Hades to fight against us. It is very likely that they were intimidated by the opponent's "tyranny" and had to succumb in order to develop. Anyway, they have been eliminated and can no longer fight for the qualification to soak. If I let them go this time, as long as I have enough strength in the future and can bring them hope, there should be a great possibility that they will fall into my arms. If we choose to kill them all, it may be in line with Hades's intention to weaken the strength of the alien undead. He is also eager for us to do so. I can't do things that harm others and benefit myself.
Dizang and Gonzalez were also quite "sensible". When they heard that we were not going to kill them, they immediately announced their defeat. They had no intention of "dying their lives" for Hades, which also confirmed my guess - they should not be Hades's "direct descendants". I came to Hades to register the results of the battle. Facing the end of Dizang and his three dead and two injured, and the annihilation of the "direct descendants", they did not "care" at all, and did not even ask a question. Instead, they pretended to be "enthusiastic" and reminded me that I should find a volcanic undead with strength that meets the challenge standards as soon as possible to fill the vacancy of Daxiu, so as to cope with the three rounds of challenges starting in one day. Otherwise, with a small number against a large number, Khufu and his friends would be at a disadvantage, and so on, which almost made me angry to death.
However, this is indeed a big problem. It is impossible to find other volcanic undead to fill the challenge quota left by Daxiu. Even if Qingwu Feiyang or Qiushui Changtian have suitable candidates, their strength is estimated to be too strong. Moreover, they are not in the same system, so it is inconvenient to command and coordinate, which is more likely to cause problems. The chances of winning are not great. The only way now is for me to personally take action and join Hufu and the others in the challenge. Before, I was worried that taking up one more quota would increase the difficulty of the challenge. Now I can only bite the bullet. Although it may not be of much direct help in the battle, relying on my equipment and unique abilities, they should not need to be distracted to take care of them. Moreover, there are both disadvantages and advantages. If I personally participate in the challenge, I can openly try to force the opponent to sign a "soul contract" on the battlefield. Even if these guys with names are more difficult to subdue than ordinary undead of the same level, if they are willing to cooperate, the strength of the middle and lower levels of level 8 may still succeed.
