Chapter 659: Against the Kings
âSeriously⊠he sent you? Isnât it more important to have you on the front line? If Iâm not mistaken, you can probably handle dozens of High-Tier Zombies on your own.â Anna asked after seeing the heavily armored man.
The man nodded⊠However, he also stepped forward to kneel beside her.
âYou are too important to lose. My presence ensures no threat will reach you. I am to eliminate all hostiles and extract you if necessary.â
Before she could respond, a familiar voice crackled through the comms on the soldierâs shoulder.
âAnna? Itâs Shane. I know you didnât ask for backup, but I know how much youâre shouldering⊠Iâm also sending you something elseâshould be arriving with Super Soldier.â
The black-armored man then reached into a case attached to his hip and retrieved a small vialâŠ
Inside swirled a glowing golden-red liquidâŠ
Anna couldnât help but smile as she recognized this. It was actually a creation of hers. However, she could also tell that Shane did something about it.
âThis isâŠâ
âDragonâs Blessing ElixirâŠâ Shaneâs voice continued.
âWith the Elves and the World Treeâs help, your creation has been improved a lot. However, I only have 12 of them right now. Theyâre designed to restore stamina, boost your immune system, enhance your physical resilienceâand most importantly, keep your mind sharp. I had the lab make it for you.â
Of course, there were other effects, but that wasnât important right now.
Anna took the vial without hesitationâŠ
âShane⊠How about you? Did you drink one of these already?â She asked.
âYesâŠDonât worry about me. Youâre doing more than most of us on the battlefield. I need you to keep going. Take it when you feel like youâre about to collapse or even right nowâŠâ
âFine⊠Youâre making me work overtime anywayâŠâ Anna replied with a chuckle.
Soon, she held the vial up to the light. It was quite a beautiful sight and she couldnât help but appreciate it.
The Super Soldier then stepped back and kept his distance by about three meters from her. That should be a safe distance to ensure Annaâs safety.
Anna then looked around her. She was surrounded by groaning patients, bloodstained floors, and the sound of life-support machines.
After a few moments, she decided not to consume it just yet.
She could still hold on and decided to save it for laterâŠ
âLetâs finish this. No one dies todayânot on my watch.â
***
In the meantime, after Shane ended his conversation with Anna, the Tyrant King finally arrived.
This TyrantKing was standing over four meters tallâŠ
Its faceâif one could call it thatâwas a mess of melted muscle and a fanged mouth.
There wasnât even an eye on it!
As it got closer, its roar could surely shake the barrier of the shelter.
Still, with the Monument of Eclipse together with the Heart of Eclipse that was recently built, no one felt afraidâŠ
Instead of shaking with fear, they answered insteadâŠ
After a series of bombardmentsâŠ
Shane dropped from the sky like a meteor himselfâŠ
He didnât want to damage the wall, so he decided to fight it outside the Shelter.
Boom!
At this time, his Bio-Armor had already been activated, and it had protected his bodyâŠ
As expected of the creation of the finest scientists of the past civilization, this Bio-Armor was truly a marvel of technology. It created reinforced fibers and nano-alloy plating and it all slid over his body like a second skinâŠ
Just like this, his senses were connected to the Bio-Armor and soon, he felt as if he could see in all directions⊠It felt as if his skin started having eyes.
âThis feels really greatâŠâ Shane smiled as the Bio Armor gave him a great sensation that normal humans should not feel.
As he landed, the earth cracked beneath his boots.
Soon, he stood unfazed in front of the Tyrant King.
From his back, Shane unsheathed the massive Meteor Greatsword.
[ Meteor Greatsword ( Master ): A large sword forged from a fallen meteorite
Special Effect: âRuin Markâ: Landing three consecutive hits on a target triggers an explosion, dealing 30% of their max health as bonus damage.
Passive: Increases the userâs strength by 10% while equipped. ]
Then, his Mars Shield appearedâŠ
[ Mars Shield ( Master ): A circular shield inscribed with mystical marks.
Special Effect: âTrue Guardâ: Blocking an attack has a 25% chance to unleash damage reflect and counterattack, burning all enemies in a 4-meter cone.
Passive: Grants +20% fire resistance. ]
***
Unlike the Zombie Lords, the King Zombies were always hasty and did not converse with the SurvivorsâŠ
Soon, the Tyrant King charged forward with its claws, aiming to grab Shane.
âToo slowâŠâ Shane muttered as he used his Armored DashâŠ
With his Bio-Armor enhancing his speed, the Armored Dash became even more dangerousâŠ
Boom!
The two collided like they were made of steelâŠ
Of course, Shane raised the Mars Shield and caught the first strike. However, the Tyrant King continued to attack with its handsâŠ
Its clawed hands slammed into him like a siege hammerâbut True Guard of the Mars Shield activated.
Thanks to that, a cone of fire burst from the shield, smashing over the Tyrant Kingâs chest.
Shane then followed up with Vortex Spin, spinning with the Meteor Greatsword in hand and landing two clean strikes into the creatureâs side.
SLASH. SLASH.
Then the third blow landedâRuin Mark triggered.
Just like the effect said, a pulse of energy detonated from the sword, erupting across the Tyrant Kingâs chest in a sphere of fire!
Bam!
The Tyrant King then staggered, but it still slammed Shane with a backhandâŠ
However, there wasnât much force behind it.
Shane easily tucked and rolled, then leaped five meters high with a Five-Meter Jump and landed without sustaining any form of injuryâŠ
âCome on, big guy.â
Shane then activated Titanâs Roar.
His voice thundered through the battlefield!
It wasnât just a shout to help him fight against the Tyrant King⊠It was also a command to everyone on the battlefield to win against the Zombies they were dealing with!
âBring it on!â
