Chapter 572: Trapped in a Hopeless Situation (1/2)
GDK 572: Trapped in a Hopeless Situation
From the sky over their heads to the ground under their feet, when this restricting force suddenly contracted, all four Demon Kings immediately noticed the unusual change with the surrounding. Their hearts grew even more appalled.
After Han Shuo’s voice sounded, the four had no uncertainty that the changes to this region of space were of Han Shuo’s doing. After having experiencing a round of battle, all four Demon Kings became well aware that Han Shuo practiced some kind of unfathomable martial art. The transformation to the space around them caused them to be flustered – an emotion they were very unfamiliar with.
There were no longer elemental energies pouring into their Domains of Divinity. The ground beneath their feet was tough beyond measure. Even Manticole’s incredibly incisive broadsword couldn’t split it. The pressure that gripped their hearts gradually grew heavier and heavier.
“Ridiculous! Merely with your powers alone, you want to contain the four of us? Even Bechymos doesn’t have that kind of strength, let alone you!” Golander’s ice-cold voice was filled with utter disdain. However, his eyes were flickering with uncertainty. No one knew what exactly he was thinking.
“You have all seen how tough the earth is. It is rather difficult for us to split it apart. However, the empty sky is the hardest to defend against. I believe that we should try to escape from above,” Manticole suggested as he raised his head and looked to the sky.
“Alright!” Golander agreed.
Having made up their minds, the four Demon Kings no longer wasted their divine energy on attacking the ground. The raised their heads and looked at the clear sky with dense smog lingering. They again demonstrated their divine might, sending another round of attacks bombarding towards the sky.
Rumbles…
Thunder and strange noises reverberated from all directions. It was a though the heavens were falling, with ear-splitting noises shooting from everywhere.
However, the empty sky seemed to be filled with the most pliable but tough cotton. The terrifying joint attack of the four Demon Kings aimed at the sky felt like a rock that fell into the sea. They had launched two strikes but, to their bemusement, their resistance had been futile.
At this moment, the four Demon Kings really began to panic. The feeling of dread simultaneously revealed itself in their eyes. As they sensed themselves being isolated from the outside world, a feeling of dispiritment out of helplessness suddenly rose from the bottom of their hearts.
What should we do? What should we do?! all four of them had been asking this very same question in their minds. They looked at each other in dismay, out of their wits for a moment.
They could neither fly up nor bore through the ground. The situation was just disastrous for them. Even with the four of them cooperating, they couldn’t find a way to leave this strange place. They were finally frightened.
Outside the Penta-elemental Undead Formation, Han Shuo was wearing an incomparably nervous expression as he gazed at the misty region. His consciousness, connected to the five elite zombies on a deeper level, saw that the five elite zombies showed signs of fatigue.
Lowgods were, after all, true gods. What’s more, they had to deal with four of them at the same time. For the Penta-elemental Undead Formation to have firmly defended the two waves of attacks jointly made by the four Demon Kings, Han Shuo genuinely felt proud of his five elite zombies.
However, the Penta-elemental Undead Formation formed by the five elite zombies needed to block a total of eight strikes coming from four divine entities attacking with all their strength. Although the burden was shared among the five elite zombies, it was still rather difficult to manage.
The defensive energy of the earth was formed by fusing the energy of metal and earth. Meanwhile, the soft and flexible defensive power of the sky was formed by fusing the energy of water and wood. Although the five elite zombies, through the formation, shared the burden and managed to neutralize the joint attacks of the four Demon Kings, Han Shuo’s consciousness connected to the five clearly sensed the energies in their bodies had diminished substantially.
The Penta-elemental Undead Formation possessed not merely the energy for defensive and binding purposes. Its main energy was in attacking. However, as these four existences possessed terrifying strengths of lowgods, in addition to the fact that the interval between the two attacks had been rather short, the five elite zombies had no choice but to be on the defense with all their strength. They simply did not have energy left over to organize and deploy the offensive properties of this formation or the moment.
Han Shuo understood that if the four Demon Kings were to madly continue with bombarding the sky or the earth, it wouldn’t take long before the Penta-elemental Undead Formation was destroyed. After all, the five elite zombies only had finite strength. There was no way they would withstand repeated bombardment without exhausting their energy.
It wasn’t just the four Demon Kings who were flustered. Han Shuo, attentively and nervously observing the battle, was also out of his wits for a moment. The Penta-elemental Undead Formation was deployed by the five elite zombies and he couldn’t intervene. If he were to get inside, Han Shuo himself would receive some the effects of the formation, and wouldn’t be able to completely bring out his strength.
The five elite zombies were currently digesting the two waves of energy sent out by the four Demon Kings. As soon as they eliminated the effects of those energies, they would be able to go all-out and release the full firepower of the Penta-elemental Undead Formation. By then, the four Demon Kings would be completely occupied with defending themselves and would have no time for continuing their incessant attacks towards the Penta-elemental Undead Formation.
