Apocalypse: System of lotteries

Chapter 178 Side By Side

"Quickly kill the ones on the city walls!" Ming ordered as he picked up his chainsaw and charged toward the nearest mutated mantis. He moved swiftly from side to side, cutting off the mantis' scythes with smooth, fluid motions, not slowing down in the slightest.

The people around him stared in amazement.

"I've heard that Gutmann is incredible, and now that I see him in action, I'm convinced!"

"Didn't you see him the last two times?"

"Holy crap, this guy missed the last two battles! Damn, make a note of it, fine him after today's battle!"

"Fine him heavily!"

"…"

"Don't just stand there, attack!" Ming shouted, looking down at the mutated mantises in the well below, flapping their wings and trying to leap upwards. He immediately turned to Alan and Mike, "Alan, use your eagle to take us down there!"

"Alright!" Alan didn't hesitate and commanded his giant eagle to hover above them. As they grabbed onto the eagle, they dropped into the center of the giant well.

"Did you learn the mass taunt skill?"

"Learned it after my second promotion!"

"Then let's get started!"

"Got it!"

Mike immediately activated his size-doubling ability, increasing both his body and attributes twofold. He then used the Barrier's spirit ability [Mass Taunt] at the center of the well. Taking a deep breath, he yelled, "All of you, get the hell over here!"

His voice boomed! The mutated mantises, which were about to fly up to the high walls, turned their heads and looked at him. Then, they all charged toward him.

"Hold on!" Ming shouted.

"Okay!" Mike nodded firmly.

"Interrupt the size-doubling ability!" Ming shouted.

Standing beside him, Mike didn't hesitate for a second and immediately interrupted his ability, reverting to his original size. At the same time, Ming picked up Mike, activating his extreme speed, "Keep taunting!"

"All of you, get the hell over here!" Mike continued to yell while being carried on Ming's shoulder. Some people on the city walls saw the scene and couldn't help but be amazed by the ming's tactics.

Damn! They never thought this method could be used to fight monsters! It was the first time they had seen such a thing!

Inside the city walls, more than thirty mutated mantises rushed towards them. Ming carried Mike, dodging the scythe attacks from multiple mantises, finally gathering all the mantises in the well together.

"Go!" Ming immediately threw out the magician's tent, covering the mantises and himself inside. He quickly tossed Mike out of the tent and gestured to Alan. After Alan nodded, Ming turned and entered the tent alone.

Alan used his giant eagle to lift Mike back onto the city walls.

"Brother told us to quickly kill the mantises on the walls! Hurry!"

"Everyone, kill them quickly!"

"David, damn it, how many puppet masters are there in this partition?"

"Damn it, there are twenty-six in total!"

"…"

Inside the tent, Ming stood on the stage, counting the crowded mutated mantises with a smile. He needed to get an accurate count.

Alan commanded the two giant eagles to flap their wings and fly high, dropping into several women's battle circles. The eagles' talons hooked the mutated creatures, flying high once again. He pointed to the sky and shouted, "Don't fly so high! Lower! Even lower!!"

The women around him looked at him, then at the eagles flying high in the sky, and their gazes fell back on Mike…

"Thanks~ But it seems like your eagles don't listen to you~"

"Yeah, they seem to be flying higher and higher, farther and farther away."

"Mhm, they've already disappeared ~"

"…"

Alan smiled at the woman, "Don't worry, just wait a moment~" After that, he and the woman looked up at the sky. Then, a black dot fell, finally crashing onto the high wall passage with a loud bang. It was the mutated mantis from before, which was now smashed, its entrails spilled and limbs broken.

"Kill!" The women were about to charge when Alan stopped them, "Ladies, don't rush, just wait a little longer."

"Wait for what?"

"It's already smashed to pulp, what are we waiting for?"

"Listen to him, just wait a little more."

"…"please visit

Then, they saw Alan commanding the two giant eagles to once again grab the mutated mantis and fly high.

Alan turned his head and smiled, "One more smash should be safer."

"You look so gentle, but you're quite ruthless."

"You're the birdman from today~ Sorry, I mean you're Gutmann's subordinate."

"Friend."

"No, you look like his subordinate."

"Well, right."

On the other side, a mutated mantis swung its scythe, shattering a person's shield. The shield bearer, Lose, was struck heavily and fell to the ground. The scythe was raised and about to fall on his neck...

Lose raised his arm, preparing to sacrifice his arm to save his life! At the critical moment, he saw someone rush in front of him, reaching out both hands toward the mutated mantis, and shouting, "Come here! eat the medicine!"

"…"

Lose stared at the scene in astonishment. At first, he thought he was hallucinating. Then, he saw the mutated mantis lower its head and obediently eat the red pill from the person's hand. The once ferocious mantis seemed to lose consciousness, standing there dumbfounded and motionless!

The person raised a weapon that looked like a black scorpion tail, shouting, "Cut!!"

In the next moment, the mutated mantis's scythes were broken. Then, the person turned to Lose and said, " I'll leave this to you!"

"Alright… Alright!" Lose got up and watched the guy rush forward again, recalling that he was the one brought by the giant eagle today, and also one of Gutmann's generals!

No wonder he's so fierce! But that ability to feed medicine to the mantis doesn't seem like a Barrier's ability, does it?

Ming opened the tent door, looked at the high wall, and thought that these people were killing a bit too slowly. Dragging on for too long would definitely not be good! He immediately summoned his psychic giant eagle, grabbed its talons, and flew to the high wall.

After landing, he charged forward with his chainsaw. The mutated mantises he encountered lost their limbs and scythes almost instantly.

"Make way for Gutmann!"

"Don't dawdle, you can't beat them one-on-one! Hurry up and move!"

"Move aside and let Gutmann deal with it first!"

"…"

People on both sides of Ming's path made way for him. He charged through the middle, leaving the mutated mantises in front of them with pierced intestines and broken bellies! He continued to charge forward!

"See? That's what being a strongman looks like!"

"Damn, I wish I could do that too, having others clear the monsters for me!"

"Keep working hard, and it won't be long before you surpass him."

"I just want to follow in his footsteps, I don't have high demands!"

"…"

In just five minutes, Ming ran a full circle around the high wall, killing as he went. By the time he finished, all the mutated mantises on the wall had lost their scythes.

He glanced at David and his woman, who were busy wrapping a mantis in the sand and roasting it over a fire...

"Are you two cooking?" Ming walked past them and glanced at David, "Hurry up and get back to work!"

"Alright!" David kissed Hecate, "Be careful..."

With a snap, Ming swung his chainsaw and cut off both scythes of the mantis, "Don't waste time talking, hurry up."

"Thank you, Gutmann." Hecate smiled.

"You're welcome, take your time practicing your new psychic ability. Remember to add some cumin and chili powder at the end."

"…"

Hecate looked at the mantis wrapped in the sand. It seemed like a real dish.

Ming summoned the giant eagle again and grabbed onto it, descending to the center of the square. The durability of the tent had been reduced to less than 200 due to the attacks of the mantises inside.

He rushed into the tent and shouted, "I'm back, come and hit me!" The mutated mantises inside the tent all turned their heads and crowded toward him.

On the high wall, David stood up and shouted, "All puppeteers in our area, listen up! If you want a five-star Lord-level mutated mantis as a puppet, gather in the center of the square right now! Today is for increasing our area's combat power. We've got them for free!"

"I'll go pick one first!"
