Chapter 164: Playing with Fire (1/2)
The explosion made by Cai Dinxiang earlier killed 6 ghouls, which was good enough in delaying the enemy movements that are charging towards them.
Even though that the explosion was a great impact for the squad but for the monsters it wasn't damaging enough, because the primary focus of the monsters was to hinder the progress of the candidates so that they will learn and 2nd they always fight the squad that will enter the field of battle.
After the explosion Li Ye raised his hands once again and whispered ”Ice spikes attack!” and with that multiple ice spiked suddenly appeared, coming from the ice floor. With the multiple ice spikes appeared across the ice floor, it killed 6 ghouls that were trying to attack from the front.
The ghouls' rage was unbelievable, their shrieks were irritating and made the entire squad and formation disrupted because of the loss of focus on their primary task.
But luckily Li Xiaosheng regains back their composure as he raised his sword and shouted ”Defiant Call” and another buff he whispered ”Last Sword Call” and with those two buffs some of the squad members felt they got each other.
The ghouls body that was pierce through by the ice spike and as the green substance that was coming out and dripping at the ice of Li Ye, he felt disgusted, ”Damn that is gross I don't like the realism sometimes it turns me off” Li Ye was furious because of the substance dripping from his ice but he can't do anything.
Meanwhile, on the other side, the Markash walks on the ice floor, its foot was stomping on the ice to get balance from his gigantic posture.
Dai Lanfen ordered with her soft gentle voice, ”Attack!” and the ice hammer puppets charged forward. But because of the ice floor, the Markash monster was not that agile enough to move to other places faster because of his footing, which was really unstable.
It is also because anytime the Markash monster moved drastically it might get off balance and fall down, which can lead to its demise. And because of that the Markash stomp on the ice floor harder than earlier and with the force that it applied on the ice there came cracks and because of the stomp vibration on the ice.
The ice hammer puppets stopped their charge as they suddenly balance their footing. As they felt the vibration hinder and delayed them from their attack.
From that the Markash monster has now the time to turn and face its enemy that was delayed from attacking earlier because of it did on the ice floor. The Markash monster roared, but the ice hammer puppets continued to attack when the vibration from the ice stopped.
Because the ice hammer puppets don't have emotion, their primary sensory of emotion is coming from Dai Lanfen as long as Dai Lanfen is not afraid from the roar of the Markash monster. The Ice hammer puppets will only negate its negative buff.
The first thing that the Markash did was to leap towards the location of the 3rd Ice hammer. Which was easily swollen whole by the Markash monster, and then the Markash monster looked around and because one of his clones got eaten, Dai Lanfen felt a loss in his heart as if an important part of herself was loss and eaten by the Markash monster.
And when one of the ice hammer puppets gets close to the Markash monster. The Markash easily grabbed the ice hammer puppet from the ground and lifting it up to its mouth and then throws the ice hammer puppet in his mouth easily swallowing the ice hammer puppet whole.
Because of the ineffectiveness of the hammer puppets on an enemy, Dai Lanfen needs to think of a new material that can kill the Markash monster or else it will be too late for all of them.
”Shi- this won't do good I need some fire to burn this dead wood!” Dai Lanfen shouted as she raised her hand and raised 4 more puppets but this time the puppets came from the metal floor which when summoned the puppets have long arms but their arms are lancers with sharp pointy end.
Meanwhile, at the center of the field of battle, half of the ghouls have now crossed the ice floor. Li Xiaosheng, Qin Shanyuan, gripped their swords as they know the battle will belong and hard. Zhong Zian and Wen Xin both are gasping for air.
Wen Xin was proud because he saw that the toxic smoke that he release was delaying the incoming ghouls that are still increasing. While Zhong Zian was also gripping his daggers for a sudden charge so they can support the two swordsman upfront.
”IRON SLASH!” Li Xiaosheng shouted as he swings his sword to the right and cutting down the ghoul. The sword slashed across the body of the ghoul as it slowly sliced across its chest, down to the left abdomen.
