Chapter 524: The Unknown Einherjar

”Lord Sanders, please evacuate your people right now, and don't let your low-level soldiers even go near that... thing.”
”Yes.”
Vorenus charged up his GN force and took off. His level twenty soul energy immediately drew the attention of all of the Zergs.
”Finally, someone worthy of my time.” The dark one flapped his winds and turned towards Vorenus.
”Scarab, say ”hi” to him for me.”
A tail of some monster wheezed in front of Vorenus, tracing a dark line in the sky.
When the scarab Zerg finally revealed itself, Vorenus saw a giant monster with a turtle shell on its back and a long tail. It charged at him while spitting destructive fire from its fanged mouth.
Vorenus charged his GN force into his blade as he glued his eyes onto the most dangerous weapon of the scarab: its tail.
Suddenly, Vorenus disappeared and reappeared right next to the head of the monster. He had sensed that its week spot was the head, so he decided to strike there first.
But, before Vorenus could unleash an attack, he caught a glimpse of the monster's tail coming at him with a sweeping motion. Thus, he was forced to give up his attack and get out of the harm's way.
The level of the Zerg was too high for even Vorenus, much less any other ordinary fighter.
”Lord Sanders, should we send in more high-level soldiers?”
Sanders' face paled; the power of the Zerg had caught him off guard. ”Of course! Help Mr. Vorenus! If anything happens to him, we are all done for!”
No one knew how this giant monster bypassed the city's security system. The METAL warriors lifted themselves from the ground one after another to help Vorenus. Meanwhile, the high level dark one didn't intervene; instead, it just watched the battle unfold as if enjoying a show.
Tan Bu and Lun Duo stared at the monsters in the sky and wondered what kind of Zergs they were.
”The mastery casters are on the move!” Duo Lun noticed.
As fire bolts rained onto the Scarab Zerg, the shelled Zerg retreated quickly and flew to a safe distance away from the mastery casters.
In a blink, two-level sixteen warriors died at the tip of the Scarab's tail.
”Pull back! Let me handle it myself!” Vorenus shouted to the other METAL soldiers. Holding the blade in both hands, he attacked the incoming tail with a wide sweep.
”KOM!”
The attack knocked the armored tail to a side and opened up the Zerg's defense. Vorenus rose to the opportunity and charged toward the Zerg's head. The Zerg's head simply retracted back into its shell like a turtle's, and the Blade landed on the hard shell instead.
”KOM!”
The giant Zerg was knocked back, but the impact also numbed Vorenus' palm.
”KOM!”
A row of deadly ice spears appeared out of nowhere and pierced through the Scarab. The Zerg lost its balance and then thudded back to the ground.
Xiao Yuyu had unleashed that spell from the top of a building; the Zerg was too powerful for Vorenus to fight alone.
But, as Vorenus was going to deliver the final killing blow, life returned to the fallen Zerg, and it spat fire out of its mouth, killing many innocent citizens.
Vorenus scowled and sped up; however, he felt the presence of a powerful enemy boring down on him from above. He didn't have time to evade the attack, and was dealt a blow on this back.
Having received a deadly blow, Vorenus was going to turn on his heels. However, three claws that were sharp like daggers dug into his shoulder and stopped him cold in his tracks.
Vorenus heard a cold voice speak behind him.
”Hehe… Level twenty, aren't you? How pathetic!”
KOM!
A fire dragon suddenly appeared below the dark one. The dark one smiled faintly and then tossed Vorenus right into the gaping mouth of the fire dragon before he disappeared into thin air.
When he reappeared, his mutated face was only two inches away from Xiao Yuyu.
”Human... who are you?” The dark one hissed.
”I am the chief medic of the Divine Mastery Sect, Xiao Yuyu!” Up close, Xiao Yuyu was astonished to realize that she had never seen such a Zerg before. His body, instead of being dark gray, shone with a faint blue light under the moonlight.
”The Divine Mastery Sect… Hmm! If you are strong, perhaps I should take you back with me as a gift for our Dark Lord.”
”Ice Storm!”
Soul energy poured out from Xiao Yuyu's hand as she cast the level eighteen ice spell.
The spell blew an icy gale at the dark one. The dark one quickly covered his head to protect from the spell, but his body could not withstand the bitter coldness, and it gradually froze up.
While Xiao Yuyu cast the spell, she was concerned about Vorenus' injury.
On the ground, Vorenus still struggled against the Scarab Zerg, trying to cut off its head. However, the Scarab Zerg was smart and used its hard shell as protection. In between Vorenus' attacks, it would sneak its head out of the shell and wreak havoc to its surrounding.
Vorenus had tried to crack open its shell using brute force, but to no avail. Frustrated, he wondered since when did the Zerg evolve into such a powerful state.
Although Vorenus was convinced that the head and the neck area were the Zerg's weakness, without a distraction, it would be difficult for him to land a solid blow on it.
Meanwhile, the ice on the dark one's body quickly thawed, and the dark on was unharmed.
”Human, is this really your best attack?”
The dark one asked as he reached out its claws at Xiao Yuyu. Xiao Yuyu hurried to take a few steps away from the Zerg, but the dark one was faster.
As Xiao Yuyu was about to give up, she felt someone grab her from behind, and in a blink, she was teleported to a few dozen meters away from where she had been.
The dark one also hurried back to the sky like a startled bird, an ugly bird at that.
