Chapter 343: Undead (1/2)
The battle stopped on all fronts, the emperor just defended the whole Palace with the defensive formation and blocked all the invasions at the same time.
But four hours is a lot a time and he was not sure whether he would be able to stop all their attacks for the next four hours.
He started slaughtering the minions who are in the front, to try and instill some fear into the people at the rear, but it turned out to be a futile action and the waves of people never stopped.
After more than half-an-hour, there was a first nick on the formation.
At that moment, a saber ray flew out from the emperor and hit the priest right in the chest.
The formation seemed to have an attack function too and its attacks are even amplified. The laceration on the chest of the priest is a clear show of might.
The priest raised his hand and stopped the advance of all the followers.
”Followers of the Guide, I priest request you to beseech me with the power to cleanse the sinners.���
With that, more than a hundred members of the followers who are not wearing any masks all sat cross-legged and all of sudden their bodies started turning black, the life started escaping from their bodies and soon, their bodies turned to half to their original weight and at the same time, there is no life in the eyes.
A weirdly formed energy escaped from their bodies and entered the body of the priest.
There is a sudden surge of might within the priest and he immediately made a move.
The formation started having cracks and a hundred followers who turned black and became like zombies suddenly stood up and moved towards the formation sluggishly as they started attacking it.
The Emperor looked at them recognized what they are in one single glance, they turned into undead, they don't have any form of intelligence left except for the fact they would listen to the orders of their in-charge and kill without thinking twice.
The formation was almost at its end and only two hours passed, two more hours needed for everyone to go.
At this moment, the hundred or so undead suddenly jumped at the formation and exploded. This is called undead explosion and there is a swirl of death energy that decayed the formation.
The emperor felt all his hopes lost.
”Ye Ting. I will take it from here, you go back and leave with the rest.” An old voice was heard and the emperor turned around abruptly.
”Father? Why are you still here? You are in your twilight years, why do you have to push yourselves so hard? Let me handle this.”
”Ye Ting, when did you become so disobedient, leave right now.”
The emperor looked down in deep thought and teardrop rolled down from his left eye.
”I am sorry father.”
The old man didn't reply as he watched his son leave the place, he took his son's place in the formation and behind him, a majestic beast walked to the front.
A three-tailed winged lion.
The Beast is also of a transcendent rank and along with the old man both of them faced off against the Priest and the followers.
The Beast is a trump card, but they had to let it out even two hours before. At least, if anything unexpected happens and the situation stays the same, they can still escape.
And even take this guy down.
The priest tried his best to fight the two of them. The old man is rusty with his skills as he was dwindling with age, but the beast is something else altogether.
He does have other cards that could help him deal with them easily, but that doesn't mean he wants to use it.
He doesn't know that the opponents only need two hours of time, so he is just playing the endurance game.
Time passed in a flash and soon there is only a few minutes left, the old man and the beast suddenly didn't care to hold up anymore.
The old man puked a mouthful of blood as he made smirked at the priest.
