Death Guns In Another World

Chapter 1562 - 1390: Holy Spear! BOOM!

Just an inch closer and the Ghoulʼs razor-sharp claw would tear into her soft skin. However, it failed. Its claw struck an invisible barrier which deflected it in midair. The young lady was startled. She turned around in panic and saw the Ghoul rolling on the ground. Then, her behaviors were out of Fredʼs expectations.

Even though she appeared nervous, she hurriedly extended her arm and in the blink of an eye, she blasted a dazzling ray on the Ghoul. The nimble Ghoul looked as though it were bound by manacles and leg-irons and couldnʼt budge at all. The Healer made a few hand gestures, and a white light beam descended from above, struck the Ghoul heavily, and turned it into ashes.

Since when do Healers are so powerful? The man questionned his existence.

Frantically, Fred couldnʼt believe his eyes. Back then, he cursed Alex inwardly for being so heartless to place a bunch of Healers with ʼno combat abilitiesʼ in the front lines. During the few days of staying in the fortress, Fred knew that Alex had been training the Healersʼ combat abilities based on his first fiancee Lunaʼs training.

However, he didnʼt take them seriously as he thought that the training sessions were to teach them how to protect themselves using some basic sword moves or something. But why did it seem like… this group of Healers was much stronger than him?

Brilliance from spiritual spells and magical spells shone from above the city wall. The soldiers had calmed down from the initial chaos where they were stunned by this tactic that the Undead Army deployed. But they pulled themselves together and eliminated the Ghouls rushing up the city walls while being protected by the spiritual barrier.

The Ghouls were powerful and the weakest ones were at level 50. Their sharp claws had poisonous effects and their strong skin made them tough enemies in close combat. Due to the effects of the enchanted field, the Ghouls were weakened by more than half of their strength and were currently at around level 30. The holy powers completely overwhelmed their mighty features and fast speed.

But the only problem now was that the black rope connected to the arrows were too strong, where the soldiersʼ blades and Magesʼ flames were useless in removing them.

This was going to be hard.

At the same time, the Undead Army slowly approached.

The fire elemental creatures were exhausted while Alexʼs summoned water elemental creatures also couldnʼt keep up. The coldness that they let off was enough to freeze a human to death, but was meaningless to the Undead Army. The Phantom Beasts snarled as they darted across the surface and shattered the Skeleton Soldiers standing in their way with their sharp claws.

But the Undead Creatures seized the chance and quickly swarmed forward. They brandished their swords and lances at the Phantom Beasts and mourned their death. Observing from the top of the tower, it was apparent that darkness was slowly devouring the snow field.

”Mr. Alex, is it about time?”

Alice clenched her fists and asked worriedly. Alex didnʼt answer instantly. Instead, he turned to Mila, the captain of the Valkyries Army.

”Howʼs the situation, Miss Mila?”

ʼʼNot here yet, Sir Overlord.”

He received a negative respond but he was not too disappointed.

”This skeleton commander of theirs sure is careful.”

Alex heaved a sigh. Vandal appeared to be someone meticulous. Perhaps he was baffled by the water elemental creatures that he became even more careful. But Alex had another way to deal with him. Since he wasnʼt willing to show up, he just needed to lure him out.

The Undead Army was still in the probing stage, where they used this typical strategy in deploying low-level troops like Ghouls and Bone Griffins to sound out Alexʼs forces.

This was just like a card game. Both sides received their cards, laid them out, and turned them around.

ʼAlright then. I shall start first. This is my first card. Can you want to follow, Mr. Lich?ʼ

Alex caressed the white jade-like ring on his right index finger.

At the same time, he acted.

[Activate the Holy Spear]

Meanwhile,

”Ahhhh!”

Fred brandished his sword and struck off a Ghoul who tried to climb over the city wall. On the other hand, Selena launched Wind blades that took down a dozen Ghouls, and they fell off the wall in no time. The remaining Ghouls were taken down by the soldiers, but this didnʼt alleviate their pressure.

”Haa… Haa… Damn it.”

Fred clutched his sword and watched the menacing Bone Griffins launching almost suicidal attacks on the Batfishes. Perhaps the Batfishes were advantageous in their water elemental attribute over the Flame Crows, but they werenʼt experts in close combat, after all. Frederick also saw groups of Ghouls climbing to the Skeletal Trollsʼ shoulders and leaping onto the ropes connected to the city walls.

Even though the Skeletal Trolls moved forward slowly, he knew that their encounter would happen in just a few minutes.

What should we do?

Fred felt unprecedented fatigue and worry. The exhaustion wasnʼt physical, but was more on his mental strength. This exhaustion was intensified whenever one observed the enemies charging forward without any fear of death.

If Fred was facing human enemies, perhaps he would have thought the situation different. But even Selena also felt helpless in the face of this endless sea of Undead Creatures. They were as though drowning in a pitch-black sea and struggling instinctively. But this resistance was only temporary and they would eventually die.

Fred couldnʼt help but admire Alex. He couldnʼt imagine how it felt like to face this attack alone. He was confident that if it were him, perhaps he would have abandoned this fortress. However, what solutions did they have now?

Does he not intend to deploy the powerful Valkyries Army?

He wondered when suddenly the swordsman sensed something and turned his head into that direction.

Fred caught a glimpse of a dazzling radiance from the corner of his eye. He turned around curiously and was baffled.

There was a crystal sculpture of a young lady emanating a spotlessly white radiance in the deep mountain. The holy radiance grew increasingly brighter, and almost enveloped the entire sculpture. He turned around and spotted the exact same scene from the other end.

Whatʼs going on?

Fred asked dubiously.

Then, deep, loud explosions echoed as if an nuclear bomb had fallen.
