Chapter 487 - Well Timed Help
"What the b.l.o.o.d.y h.e.l.l are you doing! Hold Skelly off! Stop him!" White Ghost shouted in the ears of the player that led the group against Dave"s doom Knights.
Yet his words fell on empty ears, as the leader had just died to a treacherous blow to the back by Bud.
The second in command took the communication and leading role and shouted, "We"re being ground to minced meat! Send in the a.s.sistance!"
"We have no a.s.sistance left!" White Ghost shouted. He was seriously thinking of drinking from the chalice by now, sacrificing his legacy to be on the battlefield. It was far better if he was there personally, his ability to make plans and change things while on the scene would be much better than him staying at the Heaven Dawn headquarters watching from multiple screens.
"I"ll help them!" came the voice of Zhang s.h.i.+, he was wrathful at Dave for foiling his earlier a.s.sault and wanted nothing more than destroy him.
"Just don"t overdo it, we still need you for the fight with the Ash King." White Ghost said.
"I"m not your underling, and you better be thankful I even decided to help."
White Ghost didn"t reply, it was better off not argue with that hot head, at least now he was of some help.
Zhang s.h.i.+ took to the battle again, this time with another group of Taurus Demons, and Fifty general ranked Demons.
These were his personal troops handed to him by the Ash King as an exchange for sacrificing his legacy to serve the Ash King.
When Dave saw the second Wave of Taurus Demons a.s.saulting his frontline, he cursed under his breath. He had to trust in the Tengu to lead the group of undead to sustain the least of Damage. But what made things worse was the second Infernal Sword Swing that came from high up in the skies and fell down.
It was once again in the direction of the Undead King.
***
The Undead King has been critically injured!
The Ash King has sustained Minor injuries.
Undead King has 40% remaining HP
Ash King has 80% remaining HP
The Death of either Kings will end this war!
***
"F.U.C.K!" Dave cursed once again.
"DAVE! This is bad!" Lone"s voice came from the voice com.
"We"ve been trapped, White Ghost sent another group of players to hold off the Undead King, they even used a Forbidden Chapter to lock him in place and remove all of his defensive values."
Dave cursed once again, things were happening way to fast for him. And he was too far away to offer any a.s.sistance.
"LORD! GO!" Bud said.
Dave turned to the ghoul and said, the fight is still here.
"But his majesty needs your help! We got this! Trust us."
Dave turned to Dog who just finished swatting away another player. The Dullahan never spoke but the nod of his head from under his armpit was enough to confirm his stand. Go.
Dave turned his basilisk and charged toward the Undead King"s side of the battle.
He was not going to make it in time so he jumped up from Grumpy"s back and used [Immortal Ascension], it was better to fly than to sprint.
Yet his actions didn"t go unnoticed, Zhang s.h.i.+ grinned and took out a scroll from his inventory.
***
A forbidden Chapter has been used against you!
[Grounded] For 24 Hours, you have lost all ability to fly, any skills that could grant you the [Flight] ability have been grayed out.
Dave"s wings immediately dissipated and with them the powerful buff from Immortal Ascension. Even [Aspect of the Dragon] was grayed out. Even if [Fly] in the ability was a minor addition to the powerful buffs the [Aspect of the Dragon] skill gave, it still grayed the whole ability. Zhang s.h.i.+"s scroll has costed Dave two of his most powerful buffs.
Dave felt untold resentment against this player right now.
More players from Blood Ragers showed up on the field. Dave had not known, but Zhang s.h.i.+ had issued a full recruitment of all of his guild members to join Heaven"s Dawn"s quarters and drink from the Ash King"s chalice.
These players, though not the most powerful of the Blood Ragers guild were still strong enough to throw a stick in Dave"s wheels.
The situation turned to Zhang s.h.i.+"s favor way too fast.
Another infernal Sword Strike began materializing in the skies. If this one lands Dave isn"t able to know if it would mean the end of this war. But he was dammned sure that he was not going to let it land, no matter what.
As he thought of a method to help the Ash King, a new notification appeared in front of him.
***
In times of need, those who you have aided in the past have decided to repay your favor.
***
Not a moment later, a hail of ice and arrows shot from behind Dave"s troops. They arced too high, too wide and too far, avoiding Dave"s troops and landed square and neatly upon the Demonic forces that were battling them.
Dave turned to see the Ice Queen donning a blue armor and a crowned tiara, she rode on the back of a great wolf. This was Amarok (Chapter 176), the Queen"s own mount and a beast of a monster in battle.
And behind the Queen was an army of soldiers, wearing silver armor coated with wool and fur. It was far too hot for anyone to wear these armors in the Underworld, especially this close to the Ash King"s Keep, but the frost aura from the Queen negated the heat with utter ease.
"My Knights! Show them the cold heart of winter! Charge!" the queen roared, her feminine voice sounding like the drums of war as she called her troops to rally.
And so did they, heavy cavalry, ice golems, and wolf riders all came to join the battle.
Dave thanked the gracious lords that smiled upon him in his time of need and gave him this timely a.s.sistance. With the Ice Queen holding his side of the fight he can freely move to help the Undead King.
Yet the problem remains, he can"t make it there in time. The sword had fully materialized and it was going to land soon.
"DAVE! HELP!" Lone shouted in his ears.
He never answered, he never needed to.
The ground trembled, far worse than when Drahma marched. A great creature, that could make even the mighty Drahma look like an infant compared to it rose from the ground. Even in the distance, Dave could see the behemoth as it shook off dirt, stones and boulders off of his body.
From the far side of the battlefield, Dave could hear the behemoth speak.
"d.a.m.nable spark of flame, you wretched goat horned blasted sun of a dung beetle, today! By the power of these arms of mine, I shall break your bones, bit by bit, in vengeance to my brothers and sisters!"
***
The Wrath of a t.i.tan Event has started!
The Earth t.i.tan (Chapter 102) has come to aid the Undead Legion in destroying the Ash King!
Undead are required to a.s.sist the Earth t.i.tan in his quest while players On the Ash King"s side are required to stop him from doing so.
The Event will end with the Death of Either the Undead King, Ash King of the Earth t.i.tan.
***
"Holy molly, now this spices things up a little!"
The Infernal Sword swung down, but the Earth t.i.tan, ma.s.sive in his size, held a hand forward and broke the whole thing into sparks and surges of flames.
"That one tickled! Got anything stronger?!" the Earth t.i.tan"s hollering laugh boomed through the battlefield.
Dave grinned; things didn"t look so dire Afterall. But he was still far away form the Undead King"s side.
"I think it"s time for her to join this battle." Dave mumbled.
"Onixya! Come out!" He said and from within his inventory came the small reptilian creature.
Black as the night, with eyes open wide, this small winged lizard looked around Dave with interest.
"Take me there," Dave pointed at the Earth t.i.tan.
Onixya nodded and took to the skies, in a moment, she transformed into her larger form, this time however, she was fully armored, covered from head to claw with Oprenieum metal gear.
Dave jumped up onto Onixya"s forearms and climbed up to her back. He was not allowed to fly, but Onixya was not under Zhang s.h.i.+"s Forbidden Chapter.
With Dave riding away to the other side of the battle, things were bound to change.
