Chapter 421 - A Kingdom Has Fallen
Tang Shaoyang did not move despite the incoming swarm. He stood on his ground despite the millions of zombies rushed toward him.
"There's no need for me to transform, at least not now,
" He checked his mana which was rapidly depleting because of his summoned spirits. Of course, it was still far from being drained. He could maintain all of them for hours.
"New skill… new skill…
" he muttered until recalled a skill, Deadly Charge.
'Will I charge as Moon does?' He thought to himself as his mind replayed the scene where Moon used his skill at the enemies. He was charging at the crowds, sending everyone on his path flying.
When the swarm was twenty meters away from him, Shen activated Deadly Charge. His body was covered in mana as his body accelerated toward the swarm.
He charged at the swarm for fifty meters non-stop. All the zombies in his part were sent flying into the air regardless of their evolution stages.
As he stopped from the skill, he infused Slayer Energy into his battle-ax and activated the next skill, Thousand Blast.
Boom!
He swept all the zombies in front of him. The blast's range reached fifteen meters, clearing all the zombies fifteen meters in front of him.
Tang Shaoyang turned around and cast more skills,
"Let's try if the Skill Fusion will work or not…
" He then activated Invisible Slash and Thousand Blast.
The first out Thousand Blast went invisible but not with the next nine hundred ninety-nine blast. He also did not hear the notification of the Skill Fusion. It meant both skills were not compatible for fusion.
Boom!
Hundreds of zombies were cleared by the blast. Tang Shaoyang had so many skills that he did not remember all of them. Especially the newly acquired skills.
"Mirage Stride? This should be a movement skill, but let's try it out!
" As soon as he activated the skill, he saw his illusion spread out toward the seven directions. However, he did not move from his spot.
Because of the skill, the zombies were in chaos as they chased after eight different targets,
"That's a quite useful skill for sure.
"

Their Lord clashed against the forty million zombie swarm, by himself and his summons. At least that was what they told him.
Gan Shuo immediately noted the flying zombies, the blast that cleared a big chunk of zombies. He was shocked again that the man held that much power. Even so, it was less impressive compared to Commander Liang's fireballs.
He then looked toward the other summons. The winged big creature was wreaking havoc. A sweep of its wing killed many of the zombies while the others fought very well.
Even so, the seven figures could not contain the forty million zombies as many passed through their line through the unguarded spots.
"Can they buy us time?
" Gan Shuo had heard the plan. The Lord and the commanders would stall time for them to get enough rest to recover from the afternoon battle.
However, at this point, they had to fight to defend the city wall. There was no time to rest or they would lose the wall to the enemy. Gan Shuo noticed the others were preparing as well. They wore the armor and readied their weapon.
"It seems we will be okay for a while,
" Liao Zhenya muttered. Gan Shuo heard her and looked up, while many zombies passed through the Lord's defense line but the commanders managed to cope with these zombies.
Gan Shuo quickly noticed that most of the zombies were focused into one, Tang Shaoyang. Even though the swarm had a chance to force their way to the city wall, the zombies focused on Lord Shaoyang and also the other commander instead.
The surplus zombies that passed Tang Shaoyang would be taken care of by the commanders. None of the zombies could reach the city wall.
The battle continued, Gan Shuo was still tense as he watched the battle from the top of the wall. However, he noticed something after half an hour. No zombies reached the city wall. The city wall was safe.
Two powerful mages worked together as the last defensive line, the Fire Which and the spirit summoned by their Lord. The blue robe mage used her lightning, killing all the zombies that rushed toward the city.
On top of this, the creature that was similar to a dragon was still wreaking havoc with the other five. In this half an hour, Gan Shuo also kept observing his Lord.
The way he fought was less impressive compared to the mage. However, each of his swings would blast dozens of zombies at once. Despite the overwhelming number of zombies, he defended his ground without getting pushed back.
At this moment, he realized that there was a reason why that man became the leader of these absurdly strong people. He should be stronger than all of them for sure.
"Huh!? The zombies stopped their attack?
" Hearing Zhen Yang's words, Gan Shuo observed the battlefield. Just like he said, the zombies stopped their attack once again.
The zombie swarm stopped a hundred meters away from their Lord. Then Gan Shuo saw a group walking out of the zombie swarm. He noted a few giant zombies together, circling another zombie.
*** ***
"Huh!? Are they done with the attack?
" Tang Shaoyang looked around upon noticing the zombie stopped attacking him.
Just like the others, he certainly noticed a group of zombies came out of the swarm. He recalled all the spirits, five of them stood around him while observing the incoming group.
Through the Spirit Eyes, he could see a two meters figure in the middle of the tall zombies. Wearing black armor and a spear on its back, the zombie appeared like a human to him. His eyes were even normal, just like normal people's eyes.
There was no rotten flesh on his face, and his skin was smooth albeit pale in comparison to normal skin. Even though he had not met King Biron, he could tell that that zombie was King Biron.
"Interesting… hehe…
" Tang Shaoyang chuckled,
"There's no need for me to look for you since you come by yourself.
"
As soon as he finished his words, a notification rang in his head.
The King of the Dacian Kingdom has been killed!
The Dacian Kingdom has fallen!
