Chapter 543: Unstoppable (2/2)
Kun gathered himself and expanded his wings. The crystals embedded in his body let out bright lights, trying to penetrate the grip of the spell. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of the person who had cast the spell, and a bone dagger appeared in his hand ut nowhere.
With that, Kun attacked back, but he was too slow; the dagger had missed its target. And now, he saw Wang Tong's hand coming for his neck. He panicked and shapeshifted into a dozen configurations in an instant. Failing to escape the spell, he started to smell something in the air—his death.
Wang Tong grabbed Kun's head and twisted. The dying howl of the latter was unpleasantly loud and penetrating. The reverberations shocked the ground once, and then it was over.
Wang Tong had returned!
Despite the pesky harassment from the Zergs on his way to the City of Maersa, he had made it just in time to save the day.
”Kom!”
A firewall drew a line near the choke point, separating the humans from the Zergs. The death of the Zerg leader had sent the Zerg force into a panic and disarray.
In the past, before the time of the dark ones, the death of the Zerg leader was a death sentence for the entire Zerg army. However, the dark ones were intelligent creatures who were capable of placating their panicking subordinates.
All this while, the dark ones wondered who Wang Tong was.
Zergs were not alone in their confusion as soldiers who fought alongside Wang Tong a few months ago were also at a loss. Of course, the Templars knew Wang Tong's name, but they didn't know what he really meant to the world. Not even Yin Tianzong had grasped half of the meaning of Wang Tong's existence.
When the human soldiers had retreated to safety, the firewall finally disappeared. A set of golden discs appeared in Wang Tong's hand. It was a familiar sight to the warriors of Battle Wolf, as they were the same discs that had destroyed Thunder Fire's heavy METAL squad. Little did they know that it was not a weapon like they had suspected, but Wang Tong's combat technique: Golden Disc Saw.
As the two golden discs charged into the mass of Zergs, it sliced through their chitin plates like butter. Wherever the discs land, death followed.
While the two golden discs wreak havoc behind enemy lines, Wang Tong landed on the ground and led his comrades into a triumphant charge.
”Did I miss anything?” Wang Tong smiled at Yin Tianzong.
”You were just in time!” Yin Tianzong smiled back as he clenched his blade. The tide of the battle had turned.
”Just a little longer. After this is done, we will celebrate in our city!” Wang Tong beamed from side to side.
Sensing the promise of victory, Lun Duo and Tan Bu pushed themselves to their feet and followed Wang Tong.
”Wang Tong...Wang...Tong...WANG TONG!” Xiao Yuyu repeated Wang Tong's name in her mind until realization finally dawned upon her.
”Wasn't he dead?” Xiao Yuyu was shocked by her realization. Her mind still denied it, but her heart knew the truth all this while.
Who else, other than THE Wang Tong, could be able to bring Guan Dongyang under his control? After all, he was the only person who had defeated Patroclus…He was humanity's only hope.
Wang Tong folded his hands, and an incredible scene appeared in front of everyone's eyes. His body started to look blurry, and then it was split into two, then four, and then eight.
The eight copies of Wang Tong stood in a row, looking exactly the same; no one could tell the real Wang Tong from his copies.
The eight Wang Tongs all held a glowing white ball each in their hands. Within each ball were dark roiling clouds that were lit up by the flashes of strobing lightning that were eclipsed by the thunderclouds. The balls were increasing in size and brightness; when they reached half meters in diameter, blinding ray of lights shot out of each of them.
The lights simply melted the Zergs in front of them. When everyone thought that it was the end of the spell, they heard a blaring explosion as the beams of light dispersed into hundreds of smaller lightning bolts, spreading in all directions and killing hundreds of Zergs in just one zap. Chaos fell amidst the Zergs as they trampled over each other while trying to get out of harm's way.
”KILL!”
The seven copies of Wang Tong finally disappeared, and a golden spear appeared in his hands.
It was the Lance of Einherjar!
