Allen brandished his saber and shot out a stream of fire that spread out in all directions, landing on the ground/igniting some flammable objects. Immediately, a few more balls of fire appeared in the arena, illuminating the nearby space. Suddenly, a pained male face emerged from the flames, followed by a strong body wrapped under a dark red carapace, as well as a terrifying mouthpiece that was opening to the limit.
Guards!
"Everyone, be careful!" Allen warned. At the same time, he lowered his center of gravity and pointed at the guards.
But next to this Imperial Guard, another figure that was just as huge suddenly appeared. Two guards, Allen felt a headache. When the guards discovered them, they began to run over. There was no time for them to think. The enemy arrived in the blink of an eye. Edward shouted, "Allen, Regis, Belmore, and I will deal with the one on the left. Everyone else, greet the monster on the right. You guys hold it back first! "
Allen immediately understood Edward's tactics. The four of them could be said to be the strongest four on the field. Edward wanted to use his superior combat strength to quickly knock down one guard and then deal with the other.
The guard rushed over and smashed his huge fist towards the crowd. Allen and the others immediately split up and smashed the fist into the ground. The nearby mounds were shaken to the point that they bounced up, then exploded, and rubble splashed everywhere. The shockwaves spread throughout the space within a dozen meters, and their momentum was astonishing. Two of the balls of fire that Allen had distributed around him were crushed, and the light immediately dimmed.
Lucy and the Tang brothers separated from Allen and the others according to Edward's assignment, leading the other guard away from them. Garner put Red Leaf on a slope and picked up the giant sword. "Rest here. I have to help," he said.
"Be careful." Red Leaf nodded.
Garner raised his sword and rushed to Lucy's side to make up for their lack of combat strength.
The battle began fiercely.
The imperial guards were monsters created by the Empress with reference to her own body and the excellent genes she had plundered from other planets. They were protected by thick shells and were tyrannical in strength. Even though its size is too big, it is not as fast as Faceless One. However, these monsters' reactions were not slow. Allen knew this very well after fighting it a few times. If the guards could be created in large numbers, then this army would be even more terrifying than the sentinels under the control of the Saber Demon.
The Imperial Guards were not inferior to the Sentinels in terms of strength and defense, and they had the upper hand in terms of reaction speed. Just like at this moment, Allen flashed to the right side of the Forbidden Guard. The edge of the blade swung out a flickering light, directly sinking into the thick shell of the Forbidden Guard. The Forbidden Guard's thick shell was unable to resist the high-temperature cutting method of Flame Breath Flash, and a deep wound was left on its waist by Allen.
But almost at the same time, the Imperial Guard swung his giant tail. The tail with the bone needles lashed out horizontally. Allen didn't even have time to dodge, so he could only block with Qianjun. The giant tail whipped the heavy saber, and the sound of metal clashing rang out. Allen was sent flying by the tail, crashing into a nearby mound and scattering it.
He shook his head and propped up his body with Qianjun. Thin lines of blood flowed out of his mouth and nostrils. Allen casually wiped them and rushed forward with a muffled snort.
On the other side, the guard who had just sent Allen flying was entangled by a tornado of wind blades released by Edward. Countless wind blades continuously rotated and sliced. A single wind blade was unable to break through the defense, but there were too many of them, and after the attack frequency reached a certain level, it was still able to cause obvious damage to the guards. The tornado of wind blades enveloped the guard's enormous body, and the blade pointed at every part of the monster's body. Edward did not specifically attack any part of the body, but hoped to find the weakness of the guard through this all-round attack.
At the same time, Regis would occasionally pull out a bright and fierce flash. Every time a flash appeared, the tornado would always move the wind blade on the trajectory of the flash away, leaving room for Regis to pass through. From this, it could be seen that Edward's Origin Energy was not necessarily deep, but in terms of the accuracy of his Origin Energy control, it was probably not much inferior to Allen's.
Regis's flash was like a high-energy cannon. Every time it landed on the guard's body, it would always cause it to stagger and explode with a large amount of armor fragments. Even the flesh and blood under the armor would explode into a gap. However, the imperial guard's skin was rough and thick, and the bowl-sized wound was only a minor injury to it. After a few attempts, Regis began to adjust his target. The flash was no longer aimlessly bombarding the guard, but concentrated on its legs.
After a few rounds, the armor on the guards' legs was already scattered, and some of the wounds even exposed the bones wrapped in muscles.
During the battle, the imperial guard roared, and circles of visible shockwaves came out from the mouthpiece under the breastplate. The invisible shockwaves dispersed the wind blade tornado that was harassing it. The guard roared angrily and rushed towards Edward. At this moment, Belmond approached the guard like a ghost. His toes touched the ground, and his figure flickered. Occasionally, his body would turn into black mist. Whenever the black mist rose, Belmond's aura would become blurry and indistinguishable.
As a result, the monster didn't notice him even when he flashed behind the guard. The chain blade swam towards the guard's knee like a venomous snake and instantly wrapped around it. Belmond lightly shook the chain blade and pulled it back. The chain blade trembled and shrank, easily cutting through the muscles that had lost the protection of the armor like a sharp blade. Only after the bones in the guard's knee were broken did the monster discover Belmond's existence.
Unfortunately, it was too late. With a thud, it fell forward. Allen seized this opportunity to jump onto the thick back of the guard. Qianjun's blade overflowed with killing intent, and a flash of lightning descended until there was no handle. Allen gripped the hilt of the saber tightly with both hands and pushed it away. He pushed Qianjun all the way to tear apart the flesh and blood of the guard, pulling out a winding bloody path on its back.
In the end, Qianjun broke out from under the skeletal armor at the back of the guard's head, bringing with it countless fragments and red and white liquid!
The guard's body twitched for a moment before he finally stopped moving. Allen exhaled and pointed his blade at the other guard. A moment later, the battle ended. Looking at the corpses of the two guards, Garner sat down on the ground. When he looked at Allen and the others again, his gaze changed. It could be said that these two guards had died at the hands of Allen and the others, and Garner himself had only played a few roles in assisting them.
Allen and the others had a clear division of labor. Edward's Wind Saber Harassment, Regis's Flash Break Defense, Belmond's paralysis of the guards' movements, and finally Allen gave a fatal blow. Compared to the first Imperial Guard, the second monster died faster and more thoroughly under their seamless cooperation.
However, after killing the two guards, Allen's expression was still nervous. Edward faced the dark and empty space in front of him and murmured, "The gatekeeper dog has been slaughtered by us. Now it's time for the master to go on stage, right? Why did you force us down? The answer should be revealed. "
Almost at the same time that Edward's voice disappeared, a soft sound of something rubbing against the ground came from the darkness in the distance. That voice sounded very erratic, making it difficult for people to catch it. If it weren't for the fact that the newcomer was moving quickly, it would have created this illusion. That was because the object was huge, so the distance it traveled was also long. That was why such a phenomenon occurred.
"Edward, step back." Allen said. At the same time, Qianjun shook slightly and shot out a few streams of fire, creating several other bonfires on the ground.
Edward didn't try to be brave. He retreated behind Allen and just quietly stared ahead. Not long after, a fishy wind blew from the darkness. That gust of wind carried a nauseating stench. The thick fishy smell reminded people of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. Only when the wind blew through a mountain of corpses would it be possible for it to carry such a strong fishy smell, right?
A suppressed growl rang out, and a few balls of blood-colored light lit up in the darkness. Then, the outlines of some things gradually appeared. The shadows of these outlines were sharp, complicated, and emitted a dense and enormous aura. Finally, the face of a woman in pain appeared in the firelight. However, this face was as big as a round table. If this was a woman, then this was definitely a female giant!
However, with the help of the fire, when everyone took a closer look, they realized that it wasn't a woman's face at all. Instead, they were naturally formed patches. However, between the patches, they naturally formed the pattern of a woman's face. When the woman raised her head, an ugly head with several large compound eyes, a crown-like exoskeleton, opened its jaws, and revealed a circle of molars inside. It was an ugly head with several large compound eyes, covered in a crown like exoskeleton, and opened its jaws to reveal a circle of molars inside.
This head was so huge that it was like the front of a truck. The impact of the scene caused everyone to have nothing else in their field of vision!
"This is … the Empress?" Allen seemed to hear himself moaning. He had seen such a huge monster before. However, as soon as the Empress appeared, its body revealed a strong hatred for life. The wide-open jaws seemed to be able to devour all life in the universe.
As a biological weapon, the Empress originally had the ability to devour life and plunder genes. When it possessed its own will, this ability affected its will, causing it to transform into an extremely evil creature. Under the flames, behind the ugly head was the outline of a huge body. The huge body brought about a natural sense of oppression, and the cold and ruthless aura emitted from the Empress' body caused the temperature of the space to seem to drop to a freezing point.
All of the Empress' compound eyes suddenly lit up at the same time, and everyone felt a pain in their heads. A crazy but enormous willpower mercilessly crashed into their heads. The willpower was like a giant beast, as if it wanted to crush their tiny, ant-like minds. Apart from a few people, Garner couldn't help but scream miserably. As for Red Leaf, who was already seriously injured, she spat out two lines of blood from her nostrils and fainted.
Allen held his head and endured the heart-wrenching pain coming from his head. This feeling was somewhat similar to the mental impact of the Black Twilight King Snake back then. It was likely that the Empress had used a similar method. However, this giant creature that had lived for an unknown period of time was thousands of times stronger than the King Snake, so the impact it caused was naturally even greater. The Empress' will was like a thunderbolt, like a giant roaring in his ears.
However, in this roar, Allen read the Empress' fragmentary meaning: gene! Complete!
