“What is the meaning of those words?”
“I was human at one time. Now that I saw humanity in jeopardy, I feel that I should lend a helping hand with what little power I have.”
“Oh? What has that got to do with me?”
“You have nearly a million population in your territory. Helping you meant that I will save their lives?”
Yang Tian’s suspicious nature could not help but make him wonder about the Mysterious Zombie King’s motive, can it be so kindhearted?
“Then, how are you helping?”
“Purity, allowing you to evolve into pure Light.”
“This will also mean my Dark Summoned Creatures will also disappear?”
“You possessed the King’s Spirit, it did not only possess the ability to summon. Why must you rely on summoning to strengthen yourself?”
“This is a method to obtain power, why will I not use it?”
Yang Tian’s perspective was very simple, only power would allow him to change his situation in the Post-Apocalyptic Era. The power of summoning gave him the ability to act as a summoner, he has no reason to not use it.
“However, did you not notice that there are also many powerful creatures now?”
“Are you implying that it is related to my summoning?”
“The summoning ability would affect the magnetic field of Earth, when you summon Dark Creatures, it is equivalent to opening a channel between the Dark Plane and Earth. That is why there are so many Dark Creatures appearing on Earth as well. Even though it is not as serious as the current Insect invasion, the channel will only expand and widen as you summon.”
Yang Tian pondered and felt it was indeed true. As a reincarnated, he was very clear about such differences. There should not be much Dark Creatures appearing at this point in time, yet so many have appeared. Yang Tian had noticed that something was wrong but he did not expect that it was related to himself.
“However, all I want to do is to guard my territory.”
Yang Tian’s words implied that he would continue to summon creatures because to guard requires enough power.
“When you possess the pure power of Light, you will also possess the strength to protect your territory. Moreover, you will not be weaker than your current level.”
“You are that sure?”
Yang Tian noticed that the summoned creatures he summoned through the King’s Spirit might not be weak, but they were also not exceptionally powerful. This caused him to be disappointed at the summoning ability, at one point, he even suspected if the Sky Halberd King Manor was really one of the Twenty-Three Main Cities.
The words of the Mysterious Zombie King caused Yang Tian to palpitate, but its words were true.
“However, that is if you possess only pure Light.”
There is such a requirement?
The core forces of Sky Halberd Domain was mostly formed around the Dark Creatures. Although Yang Tian had also developed his human forces, there is still a great difference at this point.
“Okay, then I…”
“No, you should return to your territory to take a look first!”
Yang Tian’s words were suddenly stopped, Yang Tian noticed something must have happened at his territory for the Mysterious Zombie King to stop him.
“Then, I shall make a move first.”
Yang Tian quickly reached the half-way point of the mountain and summoned the Dark Slime.
Something happened in Sky Halberd Domain, he has to increase his speed.
“It’s the Northwest.”
Northwest City was being attacked and was requesting support from the other cities. Northwest City Lord noticed that a large group of metahumans has suddenly appeared and had attacked without a word.
A total of five Early Rank 4 were leading the attackers, with the Northwest City Lord’s abilities, he would not be able to last long against them. Fortunately, West City and North City had sent reinforcement in time and helped to reduce the pressure.
When support from Sky Halberd City arrived, the pressure on Northwest City Lord was finally eased. They have driven away most of the metahumans out but the five Early Rank 4 was still causing them headaches.
“Dafu, the Domain Lord hasn’t returned yet? Wang Yu asked Xu Dafu.
“Not sure… Lei Xing, be careful!”
Xu Dafu noticed that Lei Xing was about to be attacked and used his body to block for the latter.
Sizzle
“Argh, so painful!”
A scorch mark appeared on Xu Dagu’s back, Lei Xing would have been critically injured if he received the attack instead. However, when landed on Xu Dafu, it was not a serious injury to worry about.
The injury on his back started to heal at a visible rate.
“Thank you, Dafu.”
“What’s there to thank about between us.” Xu Dafu waved his hand and replied.
Lei Xing had saved him countless times before, Xu Dafu found that it was only natural to protect Lei Xing from danger when needed.
“I know who they are.” Lei Xing seems to have recalled something and commented.
Lei Xing told the rest about the ambush that he and Yang Tian committed.
“You are saying that they are here for revenge?”
“They have the same insignias on their clothes, so it should be.”
A total of five organizations had come for revenge, they insignias on their clothes were the same as the metahumans that were killed before.
“However, how did they know our location?” Wang Yu added.
Unlike the Civilized Age, the territories of the organizations within the Post-Apocalyptic Era were very concealed. Even though Sky Halberd Domain’s lands were large, it was also not easy to locate. Moreover, they attacked immediately without confirming their identities. This could only happen if they had been very sure of the information.
“Someone exposed us?”
“Someone from C City?” Xu Dafu guessed.
“It must be,”
Yang Tian and Lei Xing had killed everyone at that time. If their actions were discovered, then it could only be C City because only their metahumans have enough ability.
Lei Xing recalled the High Rank 4 metahuman that fought against the Wintry Zombie King.
Currently, Sky Halberd City brought the Early Rank 4 Brain-Eating Terror Hog and the newly evolved Rank 4 Charizard for support. Lei Xing and Xu Dafu while working together could also be seen as having a Rank 4 fighting power. However, there were still two Early Rank 4 enemies, they could only rely on the numbers of the Dark Slime to suppress them. No matter how strong the enemies were, they would still become tired eventually.
The sudden appearance of so many Dark Slime monsters has surprised the Early Rank 4 metahumans.
So what if they were Early Rank 4?
If only generals are enough, what is the purpose of soldiers?
Over a hundred Peak Rank 3 Dark Slimes surrounded each Early Rank 4. Despite having killed several so far, the Early Rank 4 metahuman was covered in quite a lot of injuries. The other Early Rank 4 had lost his left arm to one of the Dark Slimes as well.
Planning to run?
Facing such large numbers, it was not easy to run away. Especially when the Dark Slimes fearlessly charged at the Early Rank 4 who lost his arm and disregarded all injuries to drag him back into the battlefield.
The Dark Slimes gang up on their targets again. This time, the Early Rank 4s were covered in blood and were on the verge of being shredded into pieces.
