Chapter 189: The Last Struggle
Under Guxi's command, the Death Incarnation, shrouded in black mist, actively pounced on the undead knights who had yet to charge.
This time, the Death Incarnation disregarded everything else, putting everything on the line under Guxi's command.
As a result, its flying speed naturally slowed down significantly, but its combat power reached its peak.
The restored Death Breath and Fusion Beam were also ready.
During flight, the black mist carried a crystal dust storm.
If it were only a couple of thousand undead, this Death Incarnation could take them all out with some time.
But it faced nearly a thousand undead knights and tens of thousands of undead troops.
Guxi himself wasn't confident. After downing a potion of magic, he quickly calculated his mana.
He needed the Death Incarnation to buy him time, using that time to summon another batch of undead to compensate for the troop disparity.
When the Death Incarnation perished, he could summon it once more.
However, this was Guxi's last stand.
The magic potion he just drank was his last one.
There was one more chance to summon the Death Incarnation.
The next summoning would be to protect him as he passed through the city gates and retreated to Aridowei City.
At that moment, seven to eight hundred child-sized creatures with gray skin and fly-like wings flew out from the undead army.
After flying out of the undead ranks, they pounced on the Death Incarnation.
The Death Incarnation ignored them entirely, turning in the air to charge at the undead knights.
As it neared the undead knights, the Death Incarnation opened its mouth, and a green beam swept across.
At the same time, its eyes flashed with the effect of the Fusion Beam.
With the enhancement of the Fusion Beam, the power and duration of the Death Breath were significantly increased.
Especially when the first blast of the Death Breath was unleashed, every undead knight in its path perished.
However, the undead knights had brains and wouldn't stand still for Guxi to strike freely.
When the Death Breath was released, they quickly dispersed and began to maneuver.
Their tactics were effective because as long as the undead knights scattered, the Death Breath couldn't kill enough of them at once.
Moreover, the Death Breath could only be used once and didn't last long. As long as they could dodge, the death of their companions by the Death Breath didn't matter.
Once the Death Breath's effect ended, it would be their battlefield. For now, they just needed to survive.
Meanwhile, the undead's flying units reached the Death Incarnation.
Their sole objective was to distract the Death Incarnation.
As long as they could draw its attention, giving the ground undead troops a chance to act, that would be enough.
As soon as these flying undead reached the Death Incarnation, they flew towards its body.
Coincidentally, the Death Incarnation had slowed down to deal with the undead knights below, partially retracting its black mist, allowing these flying undead to latch onto it.
Some flying undead even flew in front of the Death Incarnation to attract its attention.
But the Death Incarnation understood its objective.
After being swarmed by flying undead, it didn't attack them but kept twisting its head, spraying the last few seconds of Death Breath on the undead knights.
With that final effort, it killed over twenty more undead knights.
After using up the Death Breath, the Death Incarnation spread its wings, and the black mist with the crystal dust storm whirled out, turning into a black tornado that charged towards the distant undead troops.
Those flying undead on its body suffered heavy casualties from the crystal dust storm, but the remaining ones stubbornly continued attacking the Death Incarnation as if their attacks could cause significant harm.
The Death Incarnation ignored these flying undead entirely, focusing on a position it noticed earlier while attacking the undead knights.
In that spot, several battle flags were flying.
It was evidently the location of several main force commanders.
If it could kill a couple of undead leaders there, the pressure on Guxi would ease significantly.
As the Death Incarnation charged, Guxi encountered some issues.
Due to the arrival of the undead main force, the remnants of the previous wave of undead unexpectedly resisted.
They attacked the newly summoned undead, taking advantage of their low life force to sabotage Guxi's efforts.
Guxi had hoped to have the battle squad temporarily train these undead.
Now, it seemed there was no chance.
In a turn of events, half of the newly summoned undead were killed or injured.
The remaining undead troops weren't much affected, but their numbers were significantly lower compared to the approaching undead army.
At that moment, Guxi noticed a giant balloon appearing at the edge of the sky.
The balloon was made up of countless red, green, and white smaller balloons.
From a distance, it looked like a clown's face, with a clown dressed in a suit made from white baboon skin hanging below it.
As he was suspended, the clown laughed heartily.
"Useless, utterly useless. So many troops, so many rounds of attacks, and yet not a single node has been taken. You're all worthless.
What are your brains for?
If you don't want them, just give them to me. I can use them to fill my balloons."
Guxi didn't hear the clown's words, only feeling a chill when the clown appeared.
He sensed that the clown was a leader, extremely powerful, and the commander of this undead operation.
If he could kill the clown, Guxi might still have a chance.
As this thought crossed Guxi's mind, the Death Incarnation sensed it too and turned towards the balloon with the clown.
However, seeing the Death Incarnation approaching, the clown didn't look surprised but laughed instead.
He merely extended his hand, and the Death Incarnation's eyes, capable of using the Fusion Beam, turned into two red balloons.
Guxi's ears also rang with a voice.
[Death Incarnation has been affected by an irresistible external force. Fusion Beam eyes temporarily sealed! Seal duration: 5 days!]
