621 Almighty Pirate King (2/2)

He knew that Lie Jintian's plan had failed, and as a human warrior, he would rather die a hero than live as a coward.

He charged up his soul energy and threw himself at a tank Zerg. Sensing the incoming attack, the Zerg spit fire out from its mouth. Sirlanka dodged the flame while closing in and plunged the spear right into the skull of the Zerg. The Zerg howled painfully and rolled on the ground. Its massive weight crushed many unwitting Zergs into pulps. At the corner of his eyes, he caught a glimpse of a dark one charging at him.

From Sirlanka's uniform, the dark one reckoned that he was a high ranking officer in the human army. So, he jumped up, thinking that he had hit the jackpot.

However, before the dark one even got remotely close to his target, he was pinned down on the ground by a giant spike that bore down on him from above.

A human warrior had appeared in the sky; it was the War God!

Most of the gunners were drafted from the reserves in each city behind the front line where the War God was worshiped as the protector of mankind. Therefore, he was recognized almost immediately.

The appearance of the War God lent the human warriors a newfound strength and raised their spirits.

Sirlanka grimaced, and wondered if the War God could still turn the tides after the outcome of the battle was already set in stone. Sirlanka kept on fighting; as a human warrior, he would never stop fighting until the battle was over, regardless of the outcome.

Zachery looked down at the meager forces of the Zergs contemptuously. This would only be a stroll in the park. Back in the days, Li Feng used to send him alone to a planet infested by Zergs.

This time, he wasn't fighting alone, since Charcoal was following him as his loyal sidekick.

”Charcoal, now!”

A space portal opened up behind Zachery and revealed a thousand sharp blades on the other side. The sight of so many deadly blades at one time was terrifying.

Sirlanka was shocked by the scene. Was he dreaming? He slapped himself on the face and felt that the pain was real. Everyone on the battlefield who had not yet met the War God yet shared his surprise.

”KILL!”

The pirate king roared a battle cry.

He was not a legendary warrior, nor an Einherjar; he was the death himself—the Pirate King Zachery!

Zachery charged up his soul energy and commanded the golden swords to plunge into the mass of the Zergs. If he were the War God, he was the most malicious and evil god in the Asgard.

The warriors watched as Zachery killed all the Zergs near the opening and pushed the other ones back with a single sweep of his hand. Zachery was reveling in the slaughter. Ever since he regained his memories, he felt something was missing in his life, but he could never put a finger on it…until now. It finally occurred to him that he missed the killing and the blood.

These Zergs were pathetic, and Zachery's moves were almost lazy.

A few bright lights flashed across the sky as more METAL warriors landed on the ground. The soldiers cheered as they recognized that they were the War God's knights.

Rumors had it that great secrets were hidden inside their golden swords, bestowed by the War God himself.

The tide of the battle was turned just as everyone thought that the war was lost. The War God led his golden retinues and stormed into the Zergs.

Fighting side by side with their god liberated their minds from the constraints of reason. At that moment, they were not humans, but the god's chosen ones who would cleanse the world of evil, and so they did.

Sirlanka finally gathered himself and shouted, ”CHARGE!”

The human warriors followed the knights into the battle with a newfound resolution. Zachery charged at the front of the line; he casually brandished his blade from time to time and sent a few hundred Zergs to their makers in each stroke.

The development shook the commanding dark one. He was an A-level blood kin and knew the ins and outs of human power. However, he had never seen any human this powerful. Or, was he even a human?

Finally, he decided to send in the golden dark ones.

Zachery was getting bored, and the sight of a dozen golden dark ones lit up his eyes with interest, if not pleasure.
