Chapter 1042 - Death’s Encirclement
Chapter 1042 Death’s Encirclement
The plague army was endless and charged ahead, one after another!
It was almost as if a portal to another dimension had opened up behind the hill. Countless plague creatures swarmed around the tiny camp and rushed at Scarface Gallow.
Their average power was only around that of an apprentice; Gallow could never be fazed by such puny might.
However, what made Gallow’s expression sour wasn’t their might, but their numbers!
Even ants could bring down an elephant.
Such inferior and laughable ideas could only exist among lower lifeforms. It was a little impractical when it came to the adepts, who prided themselves on being a superior species.
Ants were ants, after all. Wasn’t a collective of ten thousand ants still only ants?
At this point in the battle, it was difficult for him to keep the plague beasts dozens of meters away from him, even if he swung his sword ceaselessly and cast sword waves everywhere through the air. The encirclement of the plague beasts became smaller and smaller, closer and closer. Sometimes, Gallow even had to use his equally formidable fists to blast the plague beasts in front of him into bits right after a sword swing.
The plague beasts hit by Scarface Gallow’s fists would instantly disintegrate. The force crushed their entire bodies into incredibly tiny bits of meat and bone that splattered outwards along with their blood. The tremendous power behind each bit of flesh and bone caused them to become hazardous projectiles.
They scattered in every direction like bullets, puncturing all the plague beasts around them in a single instant.
That said, even an attack like this couldn’t kill enough of the plague beasts. Their bodies that sheltered countless plague viruses continued to charge forward, even with their broken shells. They were completely unfazed by the slaughter occurring all around them.
They were not even fighting at this point. The creatures were just…walking to their deaths!
They were using their ‘lives’ and bodies to surround and trap the opponent.
Their only achievement so far in battle was covering Gallow in blood and pieces from head to toe.
As for the damage inflicted? Plague beasts of this level and ability could not even inflict a small cut on Gallow.
However, this endless horde of plague beasts had still managed to halt Gallow’s advance.
Once Gallow was utterly trapped in the encirclement, the actual attack descended on him!
The elementium magical machine that had been serving as Greem’s shields turned into metal artillery. It held a magic energy cannon half a meter in diameter in its hands, wildly charging it with energy from the magic generator furnace within its body.
It was a magic energy weapon that had been improved and adjusted by the Goblin Research Academy hundreds of times. Its offensive power was between that of an ordinary magic energy cannon and that of the giant magic energy cannons, but was considerably more portable.
Its offensive power was over 350 points.
An attack of this intensity might sound mediocre, but the frequency of this attack was incredibly high. It could fire one shot every seven seconds!
It was important to note that the magic energy cannons, whose average offensive power was only 120 points, could only fire one shot every three seconds. In contrast, the incredibly powerful giant magic energy cannons could fire a shot every sixty-seven seconds.
This magic energy-ray cannon could be charged by the elementium magical machine and fire magic energy rays capable of threatening a Third Grade adept. It was already a milestone in the development and improvement!
Moreover, the elementium magical machine wasn’t the only one who could threaten Gallow on this battlefield. The real protagonist of this incomparable encirclement was still the legendary fire adept, Greem.
When Greem stepped onto the battle and used his unparalleled fire magic to damage Gallow, this tireless adept with an undead body finally retreated.
He swung his sword desperately as he fell back.
While he was slicing up the lunging plague beasts, he also had to slash apart the Vicious Fireballs and concentrated magic energy rays shooting at him. He barely had enough hands to do all this.
There were countless times where he just wanted to turn and run out of this awkward situation where there was no retaliation, but each and every time, he was stopped by the endless swarm of plague beasts.
For the first time, Scarface Gallow started to worry for himself!
