Chapter 634 Zippo For The Clutch
Chapter 634 Zippo For The Clutch
?
Max treasured his clone as a shield for his alternate identity. If the clone perished, Max theoretically incurred no loss, as he could simply call forth another.
However, if such an event transpired in a public setting, Max would never be able to assume the guise of Max Rajput again.
His true identity would then have to be regarded as dead and Max wasn't prepared to accept such a consequence.
Establishing his alter ego as a distinct entity had presented formidable challenges. If it weren't for Hazriel's help he would have been exposed in front of Regus Aurelius and the vampire society as a primordial vampire long ago.
Now that he had proved beyond a shadow of a doubt to the rest of the world that Ravan and Max were different people, he couldn't afford the risk of undergoing the anguish of crafting yet another alternate identity.
[ Wind Manipulation ]
[ Earth Manipulation ]
[ Fire Wall ]
[ Flame Shield ]
In rapid succession, Max conjured defensive spells between the clone and Ferox.
Commanding the earth, he erected a wall between the clone and Ferox, simultaneously invoking swirling winds, a fire wall, and a flame shield. These layered defences were the fastest ones that he could conjure and were designed to offer the clone maximum protection against Ferox's assault.
In his desperation, Max had given his best, yet when Ferox finally released his tier6 divine sword attack, the [ Ethereal Sword Cut ]
All of his defences crumbled as if they were mere paper, proving ineffectual in preventing Ferox's assault from reaching the clone.
When the attack tore through the flame shield, Max felt his heart plummet, thinking - ' It's over '
The clone, oblivious to the unfolding situation, continued battling a nonexistent enemy while a divine attack was aimed at its neck.
Convinced it was the end, Max shut his eyes. Yet it was at that exact moment that a shadow guard surged forth and placed himself between the clone and the attack.
Emerging from seemingly nowhere in his full Draconic form, Zippo activated the defensive move [ Black Diamond scales ]
This was the ultimate defensive move of the black dragon clan, taught only to the most important royal guard dragons.
It was a move specially designed to bring the defensive properties of the already very hard Draconic scales to their limit.
A move that was designed especially to block one incoming divine strike.
After activating this move, Zippo's black Draconic scales morphed into glistening black diamonds, shimmering brilliantly under the sunlight.
Risking himself, Zippo intercepted Ferox's attack with his now hardened scales.
The divine attack launched by Ferox was formidable, and even with Zippo's courageous intervention, it inflicted a deep wound in his right wing and his midsection, turning his previously full HP bar a perilous shade of orange, but Zippo did manage to block it as he saved the clone's life from absolute death.
" WHAT? WHERE DID YOU COME FROM! " Ferox roared, utterly taken aback, as he watched his meticulously orchestrated plan crumble before him, all thanks to Zippo, a variable he had overlooked in this battle.
" I saw, I came, I protected " Zippo said with a smug smile as he fell towards the ground as he was unable to keep his right wing open after the devastating cut inflicted by Ferox.
Before the human god could respond or recover, Max began blasting him win a barrage of [ Inferno ] spells as he tagged into the fight replacing the clone.
In his desire to rest, Max had almost lost his alternate identity and he understood that such a mistake could never be repeated.
He could never rest when a potentially dangerous enemy was still alive as it could lead to disastrous consequences.

( Meanwhile Sebastian )
Sebastian and his necromantic forces were having a field day as they slaughtered the disoriented Blackfang forces.
Sebastian knew he wasn't ordered to destroy their orb as their priority was to save the vampire captives and not to destroy the orb.
But when he saw how easily his forces were clearing the enemies, he couldn't help but look at the small defensive mansion-like bunker structure which was created to protect the orb.
" Suicide bombers - Blast that place to smithereens" Sebastian ordered as his faithful suicidal undead rushed towards the enemy bunker with large barrels of explosives in hand as they were relentlessly shot by the archers defending the place.
" Elder lich, undead mages, undead archers- HELP THE SUICIDAL TROOPS " Sebastian ordered as the full fury of the long range necromantic units was focused on the mansion as after a relentless volley of cover fire, the suicide bombers did reach their destination and began blowing the place to smithereens.
Sebastian's real plan was just to create an opening and then go in to destroy the orb personally, yet somehow during one of the explosions the resulting debris managed to destroy the fragile orb as the blue light went away leaving Sebastian with no reason to enter.
Scratching his head Sebastian wondered what to do next, until he remembered that he still needed to free the captives as he shouted " EVERYONE EXCEPT THE SUICIDE SQUAD, kill all humans but touch no vampires "
" NO YOU DUMB SUICIDE BOMBERS, I DONT MEAN THAT YOU HAVE TO BLOW UP THE VAMPIRE'S, YOU STAY PUT AND BLOW UP THE MANSION.
HEY- HEY- YOU SHORT ONE! I'M TALKING TO YOU " Sebastian shouted as he cursed his luck for being stuck with this dumb lot of undead who took every command very literally.
As the battle at the centre progressed smoothly for the Bloodfall clan, the Mercenaries began to flank them as they had been ordered from the right and left.
DarkSorrow and Anna who were watching the situation unfold from a distance finally got their cue to enter the fray as they mobilised the Bloodfall troops to intercept them before they could join the battlefield down the middle.
They had about a 3 kilometres March ahead of themselves and needed to make haste to stop the Mercenary forces before they pivoted.
