In a blink, over a dozen ichor balls were deflected by Wang Tong. Wu Juetian didn’t mind that his first attack was ineffective. He opened his arms as his body lit up with a dark glow. He started to chant and waved a spell that seemed to distort the very fabric of time and space.

A dark web was formed around Wang Tong and was closing in on him. This was the real ‘Skynet’.

Wu Juetian’s power was at par with a legendary mastery caster, and the potent effects of the dark magic also added more deadliness into his attacks.

A cold smirk found Wu Juetian’s lips. “I really don’t know why our divine lord admires you so much. You should feel grateful!”

If Patroclus paid him half as much attention as he did to Wang Tong, Wu Juetian would have been one of the top commanders among the immortals.

“Why did you choose to become a monster?” Wang Tong asked as he charged up his GN shield to protect himself from the encroaching dark web. As the corrosive strings of the web touched the GN shield, the shield sizzled as if it was singed by fire.

“A monster, you said? You are too backward thinking. What is so bad about becoming an immortal? We have anything that a human could have, and more!” Wu Juetian looked at Wang Tong contemptuously. Although he loathed his brother, he believed that his nephew, Wu Ma, could be a mighty immortal. He had tried to persuade Wu Ma several times, but to no avail. Wang Tong’s actions reminded him of his stubborn nephew.

“Thanks, but no thanks! I don’t want that disgusting parasite in your chest.” Wang Tong said sarcastically. The worm ought to be these immortals’ only weakness and their source of power.

“You are courting death!” Wu Juetian said coldly and then started to chant again. The energy crystal embedded in his palm started to shine as hundreds of dark arrows appeared in front of him. Pointing at Wang Tong, the rough shape of the arrowheads started to take a sharper form as they absorbed the dark forces in the universe. These dark energies were rare, but extremely potent; this was Wu Juetian’s killing blow. So powerful were these dark arrows that they would go straight through a GN shield and METAL suit.

Wu Juetian never expected the dark web to inflict a significant harm to Wang Tong, as it was used to trap human soldiers. Wu Juetian wanted to capture Wang Tong alive, but fearing the power of the other two legendary level warriors accompanying Wang Tong, he decided to do away with the latter instead.

After a few seconds, these arrows were ready to fly. Meanwhile, outside the city wall, the Zerg reinforcement had also arrived.

“Say hi to the Blade Warrior for me when you reached the underworld.” Wu Juetian said with a smile.

With that, the dozen or so dark arrows suddenly disappeared as they plunged into Wang Tong’s body through the GN shield and the METAL suit and rendered it trembling uncontrollably. While watching this sudden turn of events, Xiao Yuyu’s heart skipped a beat.

Regardless of Wang Tong’s title, he was no match for a real battle-hardened warrior. It was time for the veterans to teach these fledglings a lesson: war was not a game.

However, after a while, Wang Tong regained control of his body, appearing to be unharmed.

KOM!

A powerful wave of dark energy dispersed from Wang Tong’s system.

“That was really awesome.” Wang Tong marveled.

Before he finished talking, he flashed out of sight and reappeared behind Wu Juetian. Wang Tong was not just a caster; he was also a METAL warrior. Letting him get so close spelled doom for any caster, legendary level or not.

“Elemental body!” Wu Juetian hurried to improvise a defense spell. Even as he shouted out the name of his spell, he watched as his body fell to the ground while his vision hovered above the body. Before he realized that his head had been twisted off by Wang Tong, he saw the Zerg parasite being wrenched out of his chest.

Wang Tong held the wiggling worm in his hand and asked, “Look! this is who you are!”

The last thing Wu Juetian saw and heard was the sight of the cheerful soldiers of the Battle Wolf.

Wang Tong didn’t want to spend more time on the rest of the Dark Witch abominations. In an instant, all the immortals found a huge hole in their chest; those poor b*stards didn’t even see Wang Tong lift a finger at them.

As the remainder of Wu Juetian’s entourage fell to the ground, Wang Tong flew himself up. The Zerg reinforcement had started attacking the city walls.

Battle Wolf used the high ground on the church tower and rained death onto the attacking Zergs. Wang Tong wagered that threatening the queen probably wouldn’t work again, since the queen should know by now that these reinforcements were her only salvation.

However, as long as the queen was still in the city, the Zergs had to be very careful while attacking, particularly the giant Zergs. So far, none of the giant Zergs had made it too close to the queen, fearing that friendly fire might harm the queen further beyond help.

Unable to unleash their full power and disturbed by the queen’s shrieks, the Zergs had lost their will to fight and were pushed back by the human defenders.

The human soldiers had taught the Zergs a hard truth: humans were more merciless than Zergs.

Despite the terrain advantage, the battle was not easy by any stretch of imagination. Thanks to the tall buildings, the casters were able to cast spells from a safe distance, and the shelters helped with the METAL warriors’ defense.

Lun Duo led the third brigade and was assigned to protect the mastery casters. They killed the Zergs with an incredible efficiency, and the thrill of the battle had made them even forget about their exhaustion. Each day, they encouraged themselves to be more aggressive until they had turned themselves into Zerg killing machines.

However, Castro got carried over by the elation of killing Zergs and unwittingly wandered too far from the defensive line. Seizing the opportunity, the Zergs swarmed at him.

Zing!

A bone spear found an opening in Castro’s defense; it was too late to dodge.

Zing!

Castro didn’t feel any pain; however, he saw a body block the attack. The spear pierced through the METAL suit and into the flesh. It was Lun Duo.

Lun Duo wrenched the bone spear out of his body and hurled it back like throwing a javelin. “Follow me! Move!” The soldiers followed Lun Duo closely back toward the formation.

“Captain, are you alright?” Castro asked anxiously.

“How many times have I told you to watch the formation! Are you a deaf or dimwit?” Lun Duo rebutted in a scathing tone. Although Castro was his good friend, they were in a war, and people’s lives were at stake.

“I am sorry, Captain! Why don’t you take a break and let me make it up for you? I will not let a single Zerg pass our line, I swear!”

“Buzz off!” Lun Duo waved his hand annoyingly. Ye Zi had already started the healing spell. She released the pauldron from the METAL suit and patched up the wound deftly.

“Don’t move for the next five minutes.” Ye Zi said and then went to the next wounded. On the battlefield, field medic’s words were the bible. In five minutes, the wound would close up and stop bleeding, but complete recovery would require a much longer time.

The battle quickly turned into a stalemate. The warriors had to fight in shifts due to exhaustion. When the queen was about to die, Wang Tong cast a healing spell to revive her back to her hell. Immediately after that, Tan Bu stabbed the queen, making her scream once again. The scream worked magically in scaring the Zergs, some of whom even turned around and ran away in fear. Therefore, it was almost impossible for the Zergs to form a cohesive line of attack.

The warriors worked from morning till dusk and the mastery spells didn’t stop until nightfall. Exhausted and overspent, Guan Dongyang and Xiao Yuyu leaned against a wall and breathed heavily. However, joy was written all over their faces.

They had won again!

This was the fourth city that they had conquered, and no one had thought that they could achieve so much when they first left Maersa.

“Hang in there guys. We will leave as soon as the captains finish their headcounts.” Wang Tong announced to the soldiers. Only a few soldiers were still standing straight; consumed by exhaustion, most of them were leaning against anything they could find and dozing off.

A few minutes later, the human soldiers finally left the city, which fell apart amidst a series of explosions behind them.

After a while, they finally joined forces with Yin Tianzong and Vorenus, who had been fighting at Lantian. Everyone hugged each other for their victory and surviving another day. That night, Wang Tong’s camp was extremely quiet as everyone had quickly fallen asleep.
