Armipotent

Chapter 1753  The God Rank (1)

In the previous fight, there were 1750 skeleton knights, which was a lot compared to their number. Yet the second scenario had more armies than the previous fight.

If he had to estimate their number, it should be around six to seven thousand skeleton knights. There was one thing that Zhang Mengyao predicted correctly, the boss was weaker than the previous boss. The boss for the second scenario was Demi-God Rank.

The problem was not the boss, but the guard next to the boss. The boss was guarded by two God Rank Skeleton Knights. While he could not confirm it with his Detection, he could tell by their auras.

"I think I have to step up for this scenario," Tang Shaoyang muttered.

Michalina and her vice leaders were standing behind the portal, lining up with the others. Her eyes were at the portal, but her mind was somewhere else. The wonder of the Tang Empire.

The first day they officially became the Tang Empire's vassals, they were invited to join a dungeon raid. The invitation did not mention anything about the God Realm until they heard it directly from Supreme General Zhang.

They arrived in the God Realm. There was nothing special about the God Realm at first. She expected to see a bunch of God Ranks, but she was disappointed until the first boss.

When the boss was so close to her, she could feel the terrifying aura. It was just an aura, but it was enough to suppress her, a Demi-God Rank. She froze, having a hard time breathing. Her body was shaking, and she could not think rationally. She thought she would die for sure until the two kids in their party transformed into a black dragon and smashed the God Rank.

The terrifying and intimidating boss died pathetically right before her eyes. That made her realize that the God Rank in the Tang Empire might be stronger than the average God Rank monster.

'I want to see how strong the Emperor is…'

The thought remained as thought, she was not stupid enough to question it.

'I made the right choice instead of forming an alliance with the other big factions.'

Back then her people disagreed with her decision to be the Tang Empire's vassal. Not only would they lower their status as a big faction, but also because of the weird conditions where they were not allowed to expand their territory. It was for sure a weird condition, but she persisted in being the vassal. She was relieved that it was the right choice because the Tang Empire was stronger than all the big factions combined.

If she made an alliance with the United Sovereign and the other big factions. There was still a chance that the North Federation would still try to take over their territory. There was still a chance that she would lose, but it would be different with the Tang Empire. Even if the North Federation attacked them, the Tang Empire would defend them.

"We are entering the portal gate!"

As soon as they entered the gate, Zhang Mengyao called them over to brief the situation.

The second gate was totally different from the first one. The first gate was a straightforward clash, but the second gate was a siege. They must take down the fort and the army inside to reach the boss.

The bad news was the enemy's number. The scout team snuck into the fort and returned with an estimated number, around seven thousand skeleton knights. It might be more than seven thousand, but could not be less than that.

That meant they had to take down the fort in an hour with just a hundred people. Even though most of the army was Primordial Skeleton Knights, they still had the advantage of number also the fort.

It would be better if they could lure them out to fight, but the boss would not be stupid to send out their army. They must breach the fort, fight the army, and take down the boss in an hour. Or they could assassinate the boss, and both sounded impossible because the boss was guarded by two God Ranks.

The boss was not God Rank, but it had two God Rank bodyguards. An assassination was almost impossible with two God Ranks next to the boss.

Michalina glanced at Supreme General Zhang. Even someone like her was at her wit's end. It was not a matter of a tactic anymore, but power. She thought she would be able to witness the Emperor's battle prowess.

"Ophelius, Ophelia, Hemlin, and Forlan will lead the assault. Your task is to make a path and open the gate for us. After we enter the fort, Ophelius, and Ophelia will take one God Rank. Forlan and Hemlin take the second God Rank, leave the boss alone!"

Zhang Mengyao called out the four names and started to make the plan. She was reluctant to use the God Ranks, but she had no choice in this scenario. It would be impossible to clear the scenario without them.

"Everyone just needs to follow them! Don't need to be afraid of their arrows and spells because we have Lunea. She will cast a barrier to protect us from the ranged attack!"

Michalina was quite disappointed to hear that. She hoped The Emperor would step in, but this was not bad too. She might be able to watch the remaining God Ranks.

Michalina's class was knights, and she was assigned to the vanguard, right behind the four God Ranks along with her vice leader. She finally got to see Hemlin and Forlan, the fourth and fifth in the Absolute Ranking.

"Charge!"

With the command, the twins turned into massive black dragons. They flew in a low flight, followed by Hemlin and Forlan.

Michalina also followed the command, but then the four God Ranks were too fast for her to follow. She tried to use her all to keep up the speed.

"Maintain your speed! Don't try to follow them, stay inside the barrier!"

She snapped out of it and realized that it was not only her, but no one could catch up with the four God Ranks. Hearing about the barrier, only then did she notice the blue barrier, forming a dome, protecting all of them.

The army behind the fort released their spells and arrows. Most of them were aimed at the dragons, and a few shot toward them.

Michalina was about to slow her charge, making sure to be ready if the barrier was not strong enough to hold the spell and arrows.

"Don't you dare slow down! Trust the barrier and charge forward! Don't slow down!"

Hearing the voice, she really did not dare to slow her speed. Her shield remained on her back, her sword on her waist. She kept running toward the fort.

The spell and the arrows hit the barrier. The exploded spell resounded, but it could not even shake the barrier. The barrier blocked all the attacks.

Michalina trusted the barrier and focused on what was ahead of her. The two dragons closed the distance to the gate. Both opened their mouths and breathed out the black fire. Two black fireballs shot toward the gate and blew the gate.

It was like a nuclear bomb explosion she watched in the movie, creating a mushroom explosion made of black fire.

After destroying the gates, the two dragons flew above the wall and headed to the center of the fort. Their next goal was the God Rank bodyguard.

She did not see Hemlin and Forlan. They disappeared from her vision along with the explosion.

"Pull your weapon and get ready to engage!"

Michalina did not have the time to look for the two God Ranks. The Primordial Skeleton Knights were lining up at the blown gate. They created a formation to block the charge.

"Charge!"

Carried away with the atmosphere, Michalina also screamed as she pulled out the shield from her back. Her shield was glowing in blue as she screamed, "Charge!"

She did not realize it, but she passed through the barrier. She smashed herself into the row of spears. The spears broke apart when they hit the shield. The skeleton knights were blasted away as well as she charged into the middle of the skeleton knight army.

"One hour! We only have one hour! Kill them all!" n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Michalina had forgotten about her purpose to watch God Rank's fight. She charged at the skeleton near her and killed them, getting carried by the atmosphere. She based her shield on the skeleton knight, she swung her sword toward the skeleton, and she also screamed "die" each time she killed one skeleton knight.

It was a chaotic battle, but there was one strong voice that commanded the battlefield. Each time she got away from the formation, the voice would call her back and remind her position.

[You have defeated the fifth tomb guardian, Tomb Guardian Francio!]

Michalina stopped when he heard the notification. She breathed heavily, and only then she could see her surroundings, thinking they had beaten the army.

"We failed to kill all the soldiers. We only managed to kill half of them."

Zhang Mengyao announced, and she sounded disappointed. She hoped to kill all the skeleton knights, but the time was up. A minute before the time was up, Tang Shaoyang killed the boss under her instruction. The army would fall along with the boss.

"That's not too bad even if we can't kill them all before the time is up. We also gained a few levels," Kang Xue, who noticed the disappointment, tried to cheer Zhang Mengyao up.

Michalina tunnel focused on the battle in front of her and she ignored the level-up notification. She checked her notification, and it was not just a few levels. She gained 21 levels from this fight. It was a big gain considering her rank, but Kang Xue mentioned that she only gained a few levels. That meant Kang Xue's level was higher than hers.

'Even the quality of the Demi-God Rank is different.'

She thought she had pushed herself harder than most, but there were always people ahead of her.

"What about the God Ranks? Did you kill them?" Zhang Mengyao turned toward the twins, Hemlin, and Forlan.

"We killed them as soon as we caught him. That skeleton is too weak!" The twins answered cheerfully.

"It took us around fifteen minutes to kill the second God Rank…" Hemlin was quite embarrassed that the kids did better than him and Forlan.

Michalina smiled widely hearing that, "How is it, my vice leaders? Do you think I still made the wrong choice?"
