826 Chapter 500: The Death of a Transcendent, and the Power of the Stone Statue of the Dead [3/5]
The arrows swiftly shrouded the stone statues of the dead as they charged.
The arrows were too fast for the stone statues of the dead to dodge.
None was able to avoid.
‘Kacha!’
An arrow pierced the stone statue of the dead in the chest, and the ma.s.sive force sent its body to fly back more than ten meters.
The sharp arrow pierced its body, and its back revealed it as it fell.
It pa.s.sed through its body.
The stone statue of the dead flapped its wings and tried to struggle, but the second arrow hit it again and ruined its wings.
Its body instantly suffered such damage and could no longer fly. It fell and smashed heavily onto the ground.
The first casualty of the Stone Statue of the Dead Lair lifted the curtain.
The Naga archers released a rain of arrows and became the scythe of the Grim Reaper as they harvested corpses.
The stone statue of the dead dived like a meteorite.
The Naga archers had already slayed half of the stone statues of the dead before they could even come near.
The Naga King saw this, and the mocking smile on the corner of his mouth became increasingly distinct.
“Was this the lord who could make a transcendent vampire bow to him?”
He had an unfathomable thought on the power of the human lord.
“Seriously?
“How laughable!
“How could you stop the Naga’s attack with your small and weak troops?
“Naive!”
Richard gave the second order.
“Stone statues of the dead! Activate Dead Colossus! Don’t let any of the enemies escape!
“Slaughter them!”
Richard spoke, and the previously arrow-stricken and utterly-wrecked stone statues of the dead on the ground suddenly emitted gray energy.
Then, their bodies expanded at an exaggerated speed. Their body size doubled in a few breaths.
Their injuries instantly recovered. That was even unbelievable!
The tomahawks in their hands emitted a scorching aura. That became even colder and sharper at this moment.
[Dead Colossus (A-rank) — It can transform into a Dead Colossus. Body size increases by 200%. Defense increases by 600%. It recovers 20% of life every minute. Additional special effect–life steal. Each attack can convert 30% of the damage to the user’s life.]
[Life Duration: 30 minutes, Cooldown Time: 60 minutes]
That was a skill that the stone statues of the dead rarely used. It would be arduous to maintain flight once they activated the dead colossus, and pressure will slow its reaction speed down.
That was not compatible with Richard’s pursuit of mobility and explosive battle.
As a result, the frequency of this skill’s usage was far less than other skills. Most of the time, the stone statues of the dead liked to use sand to avoid damage.
But at this moment, this kind of head-on clash, a positional battle that didn’t have much room for maneuvering, gave this skill a chance to shine.
“Kill!”
A series of m.u.f.fled roars echoed.
Their hands had become vast, and they threw tomahawks.
‘Crash!’
The sound of the chains that wrapped around one stone statue of the dead’s arm and rubbed against each other resounded through the sky.
The Naga troop showed no fear and brazenly blocked the stone statues of the dead more than eight meters in size.
‘Whoosh!’
The battle tomahawks whistled. A four-meter-tall eight-armed Naga noticed the traces of the tomahawks that flew. It combined the eight blades in its hands and forcefully blocked the wave of damage.
‘Clang! Clang!’
The tomahawks smashed horizontally and caused detonating sparks.
The Naga archers only felt a mountain-crushing force from the eight knives in their hands, and the tomahawks shattered them into dozens of pieces.
The Nagas’ expressions changed drastically, but it was too late to dodge.
‘Puchi!’
The archers felt sharp pain and lost consciousness.
The tomahawks directly smashed their tall bodies. Then, they crossed a hundred meters and killed more than ten Nagas in a row. They killed their way into the core area with their unaffected strengths.
‘Kacha!’
‘Bang!’
The blood-stained tomahawks exploded in the crowd.
An exaggerated metal storm swept through the surroundings.
That enveloped everyone within a 50-meter radius.
The first wave of damage was the shards that pierced into the body. The second wave was the shards with the instant death characteristic of the stone statue of the dead. And the third wave of damage was excruciating.
‘Bang!’
Scorching flame energy exploded.
The first two waves of damage did not kill them, but the third wave of high temperature exploded from their bodies. That turned their corpses into charcoal.
Fortunately, the Naga at the center of the explosion used its tall body to block some of the fragments. Then the destructive power of the explosion was not so monstrous.
But even so, the stone statue of the dead still showed the Naga what a trump card was.
More than 500 fallen statues lay on the ground under the full power of the explosion. It was like one threw more than 500 high-explosive bombs. And that murdered 3,000 to 4,000 Nagas.
That was because the vampires slayed too many of them in the first wave, and the Naga had adjusted their layout to occupy the battlefield.
In the scene, the vampires hindered the Naga’s good situation.
The Naga King felt as if one had adamantly slapped his face.
The disdain he had just felt disappeared into thin air.
His fingers clenched tightly.
The aura on his body began to surge.
“d.a.m.ned lowly worm! b.a.s.t.a.r.d!”
The Naga King’s heart trembled when he saw this scene.
He released a hysterical roar.
“Shoot!”
The troop of 3,000 Naga archers pulled the giant bows again that were more than three meters long.
‘Creak!’
Each pulled the bowstring to the limit and suddenly released.
The bowstring’s elasticity utterly infused the arrows. And these terrifyingly-powered arrows covered the ground once again.
‘Whoosh!’
The stone statues of the dead grew in size, decreased their agility, and made their target predictable.
They immediately encountered attacks that were even crazier than before.
