Age of Adepts Chapter 1042 - Death’s Encirclement
Chapter 1042 Death’s Encirclement
The plague army was endless and charged ahead, one after another!
It was almost as if a portal to another dimension had opened up behind the hill. Countless plague creatures swarmed around the tiny camp and rushed at Scarface Gallow.
Their average power was only around that of an apprentice; Gallow could never be fazed by such puny might.
However, what made Gallow’s expression sour wasn’t their might, but their numbers!
Even ants could bring down an elephant.
Such inferior and laughable ideas could only exist among lower lifeforms. It was a little impractical when it came to the adepts, who prided themselves on being a superior species.
Ants were ants, after all. Wasn’t a collective of ten thousand ants still only ants?
Scarface Gallow had held such thoughts in his mind at the start of the battle. In fact, his countless experiences in past wars had deeply verified the truth of this belief. In his mind, his only enemy on this battlefield was the legendary fire adept, Greem.
These slimy, mutated creatures with sharp claws and fangs that stood between him and his opponent could only indirectly exhaust his strength and stamina. He didn’t believe for a single second that the plague army alone would be able to wear him out and kill him, and there was no way that Greem believed this either.
Many strange and twisted growls rang out as the hunched, ghoul-like plague beasts jumped out. They flashed their fangs as they opened their jaws, their bodies shrouded in green-yellow smoke.
Slash!
An invisible sword aura swept out in front of Gallow, a meter above the ground. It extended thirty or forty meters into the distance, taking up eighty percent of Gallow’s vision as it cut forward.
Every plague beast struck by the sword slash silently split into two halves. While their upper bodies continued to growl, their lower halves had already collapsed limply to the ground, their filthy organs pouring onto the earth.
One slash. With one casual slash, Scarface Gallow had exterminated over a hundred of these fearsome plague beasts, dicing the poor creatures right in front of him into mincemeat.
However, this display of power was not enough to stop the assault of plague beasts.
In just five seconds, the horde had already replaced their companions, the creatures stepping over the vile mush of blood and slime as they continued to lunge at Gallow.
Slash!
Yet another slash of his sword. With the aid of his ferocious Strength, an overwhelming amount of magical energy radiated outwards through the longsword in the form of a rippling slash. Nothing could stand in the way of the attack!
The plague creatures that had reached Gallow were sliced to pieces once again, reduced to lifeless piles of flesh and meat.
Gallow only managed to take two steps forward before being cut off by the plague creatures once more. This time, the large plague army had scattered around him as if they intended to encircle him.
Gallow showed no fear or unease when faced with tens of thousands of howling creatures. He swung his longsword with every two steps he took, and an invisible, yet tangible, wave slashed forward. Its wild power would instantly destroy any plague creature that came into contact with the sword wave before they could attempt to dodge or resist, becoming part of the growing mountain of corpses beneath them.
Gallow was like a sovereign of the undead at the moment, wielding absolute power over life and death as he spread eternal sleep across the entire battlefield, all while leisurely stepping over the corpses as if walking towards his throne.
The plague creatures that continued to surge forward one after another swarmed from every direction. As long as they stepped within thirty meters of Gallow, their bodies would split apart and become part of the corpse mountain.
Plague creatures swarmed without end and ceaselessly died, causing this mountain of corpses to grow in size and scale swiftly.
Gallow’s advance started to slow down as well. He was no longer as calm and composed as he had been at the start of the battle!
There were many times where he had no choice but to pause on the pungent and slimy remains of the plague beasts as he walked forward.
Finally, when the plague beasts’ numbers reached a certain scale, Scarface Gallow had no choice but to stop. He had to slash several times just to clear out a path forward.
Countless plague beasts leaped and sprinted forward. Their twitching forms filled the air and the ground. Through the numerous overlapping bodies, Gallow could faintly see the towering figure at the top of the hill and the sinister smile on that person’s face.
Aooooo!
Scarface Gallow let out a furious roar, a low growl entirely unlike the sound of a human. He then used all his Strength to agitate the sword in his hands. A terrifyingly powerful and unprecedented sword wave spread outwards, cutting down all the hideous figures along the way as it slashed at the adept standing in the distance.
It was only five hundred meters, but Gallow’s tremendous Strength allowed his attack to reach from this distance.
However, the enemy seemed prepared!
Even more plague creatures lunged from around them, using their weak and frail bodies to stand in the way of the destructive sword wave. Where the sword wave passed, flesh crumbled and was sliced to pieces. However, the wild force contained within the wave was also being rapidly exhausted.
Finally, when the radiant sword wave cut through the last wall of plague beasts and reached the tiny camp, an iron fist radiating dense red light crushed it before its force could erupt.
The elementium magical machine.
The elementium magical machine summoned by Greem stood before the camp, using its impenetrable alloy body and equally destructive strength to crush the sword wave into pieces.
Gallow’s expression turned once again!
If he were fighting against the legendary fire adept alone, he would have no fear. In fact, he was confident in being able to instantly crush his opponent’s defenses and body if he got a single chance to get close. However, with the aid of this elementium magical machine, the fire adept’s threat would skyrocket to a level where even he had to be cautious.
A tank and an elementium artillery. Even as prideful as Gallow was, his head hurt to ponder the might of this combination should they be allowed to unleash their firepower without inhibition.
Still, since he had decided to go all out in his fight against Greem, Gallow had naturally come prepared!
He had all sorts of solutions to Greem’s abilities, be it in the form of magical equipment that reduced fire damage, or artifacts to deal with summoned beings like the metal golem or the otherworldly dragon. Gallow had even prepared quite a few methods to deal with the light elementium damage that he had yet to test.
However, in his current environment, encircled by tens of thousands of plague beasts, he had other concerns. He could not take his time to wear away at his opponent’s army slowly.
At this point in the battle, it was difficult for him to keep the plague beasts dozens of meters away from him, even if he swung his sword ceaselessly and cast sword waves everywhere through the air. The encirclement of the plague beasts became smaller and smaller, closer and closer. Sometimes, Gallow even had to use his equally formidable fists to blast the plague beasts in front of him into bits right after a sword swing.
The plague beasts hit by Scarface Gallow’s fists would instantly disintegrate. The force crushed their entire bodies into incredibly tiny bits of meat and bone that splattered outwards along with their blood. The tremendous power behind each bit of flesh and bone caused them to become hazardous projectiles.
They scattered in every direction like bullets, puncturing all the plague beasts around them in a single instant.
That said, even an attack like this couldn’t kill enough of the plague beasts. Their bodies that sheltered countless plague viruses continued to charge forward, even with their broken shells. They were completely unfazed by the slaughter occurring all around them.
They were not even fighting at this point. The creatures were just…walking to their deaths!
They were using their ‘lives’ and bodies to surround and trap the opponent.
Their only achievement so far in battle was covering Gallow in blood and pieces from head to toe.
As for the damage inflicted? Plague beasts of this level and ability could not even inflict a small cut on Gallow.
However, this endless horde of plague beasts had still managed to halt Gallow’s advance.
Once Gallow was utterly trapped in the encirclement, the actual attack descended on him!
The elementium magical machine that had been serving as Greem’s shields turned into metal artillery. It held a magic energy cannon half a meter in diameter in its hands, wildly charging it with energy from the magic generator furnace within its body.
It was a magic energy weapon that had been improved and adjusted by the Goblin Research Academy hundreds of times. Its offensive power was between that of an ordinary magic energy cannon and that of the giant magic energy cannons, but was considerably more portable.
Its offensive power was over 350 points.
An attack of this intensity might sound mediocre, but the frequency of this attack was incredibly high. It could fire one shot every seven seconds!
It was important to note that the magic energy cannons, whose average offensive power was only 120 points, could only fire one shot every three seconds. In contrast, the incredibly powerful giant magic energy cannons could fire a shot every sixty-seven seconds.
This magic energy-ray cannon could be charged by the elementium magical machine and fire magic energy rays capable of threatening a Third Grade adept. It was already a milestone in the development and improvement!
Moreover, the elementium magical machine wasn’t the only one who could threaten Gallow on this battlefield. The real protagonist of this incomparable encirclement was still the legendary fire adept, Greem.
When Greem stepped onto the battle and used his unparalleled fire magic to damage Gallow, this tireless adept with an undead body finally retreated.
He swung his sword desperately as he fell back.
While he was slicing up the lunging plague beasts, he also had to slash apart the Vicious Fireballs and concentrated magic energy rays shooting at him. He barely had enough hands to do all this.
There were countless times where he just wanted to turn and run out of this awkward situation where there was no retaliation, but each and every time, he was stopped by the endless swarm of plague beasts.
For the first time, Scarface Gallow started to worry for himself!
