Chapter 1545 - Everyone Die (1/2)

The group outside the black tower were doing very well in dealing with the Dalki. Still, even though this was the case, a thought flashed through Fex's mind as he watched everything.

'If I remember correctly, Logan said that the energy reading from this place was the same as the other places.' Fex thought. 'Yet so far, it appears that they are weaker than the other forces we have faced before. Which means that there should still be a humanoid Dalki.'

The battlefield was starting to get quiet as the number of enemies rushing out of the tower had lowered considerably. The dead bodies of the Dalki had piled up around the area, and the boys had ended their competition long ago.

The main reason was that there was already a clear winner among them all: Sil. Even though he didn't get directly involved much in the battle, but some time ago, he found a hard large rock-like substance not too far away, which he smashed with his bare fists, creating several smaller rocks for him to use, and throwing them, he dealt with the Dalki as soon as the latter stepped out of the tower.

”This is a bit unfair,” Raten complained. ”Sil had killed some of those that were stuck in my mud. As I contributed somewhat, I'm sure that should count as a half a point for me.”

The next second, Vorden had landed right by Raten's side, who had somewhat stopped fighting as well. ”I didn't expect you to be such a whining loser. Anyway, it's fine; it's a good thing that none of us was badly hurt in the first place.”

Surprisingly, there was someone else too, who hadn't fought much and that was Peter; instead, he was busy walking through the battlefield, looking at all the Dalki that had been killed so far.

”All of these guys are useless!” Peter shouted, kicking one of the Dalki's bodies so hard it went flying off in the distance, ”If Sil can kill them with a rock, then that means a five spike or more would be able to beat them. You would think that at their base, they would have something worth fighting!”

It was at that moment, at the very top of the shelter, a large object crashed out from the top. Parts of the tower began to fall, and the group quickly regathered themselves. They were in the crater, and the object that had landed in front of them was around ten metres away.

It looked like an uneven ball of a black mass as big as a van. Upon careful observation, they noticed it move slightly, and along its back, five spikes slowly protruded out.

Slowly breaking out of the strange ball, a large Dalki stood straight. Its forearms, shoulders and legs were twice the thickness of a regular Dalki.

”That doesn't look like a regular Dalki,” Fex noted, which was obvious to all of them.

The Dalki itself was far broader, and its body structure was different in every way. It looked like a Dalki covered in thick armour that was two sizes too large for itself. The only thing was it wasn't armoured; they were just the scales of its body.

”This doesn't look like a humanoid Dalki,” Vorden said. ”Which means it's a regular five spike.”

Hearing this, Peter just smiled because it was precisely what he was looking for.

Sil threw a stone from his hands towards the Dalki's chest like he had done on many others. It was fast and hit it perfectly, only to get crushed into pieces upon impact and not even making the Dalki flinch, much less force him back.

”This is what we needed. Last time, Slicer was too much for us; we needed the help of the other Blades and Quinn. This time, we have to show that we are strong enough to take out a five spike on our own!” Sil said.

The others were inclined to agree, ready for a fight.

Meanwhile, on the other side, before heading off to the Demon beast's location, Logan decided to inform Sam of what he had found out in Graham's lab.

”We are still making our way to the Settlement now. All of the leaders are there…but if what you say is true, even with us arriving, it still won't be enough. Although, I just checked the energy reading, and your worst-case scenario has yet to arrive.” Sam replied, ”For now, continue with the current plan. If the energy readings change, I will let you know.”

Still, there was a considerable worry in Logan's mind. The only good thing was that they had their portable teleporter they could use, but Logan had created a wide range jammer for all teleporters so that the Dalki also couldn't suddenly appear here for backup.

Before they used the portable teleporter, they would have to finish their job here to head to the Daisy faction. Although they could go to the other battlefield once they finished their mission here, the question was, would they even be in the condition to fight?
