Chapter 360: Magical Zombies?!
The humanoid king rank wasp stood 8? 2? inches (2.5 meters) tall as it looked down on the ash corps team. Its entire body was covered in black and yellow exoskeleton armor and that included its massive stinger.
The ash corps team didn’t think twice as they began raining hero tier spells at the king rank.
‘This is perfect because the limited width of the wall prevented the Wasp from dodging.’ Blake thought, but who said it needed to dodge the attacks.
With the help of its exoskeleton armor, the king rank wasp took the full brunt of the spells as it used its left hand to pierce through the defensive barriers protecting them.
It moved the hand sideways, breaking the rest of the barrier.
Using the other hand, the king rank wasp stabbed through the skull of an ash corp, instantly killing him before he could react.
On moving on to its next target an ice wall formed in its way, but with a flick of its finger a wind blade sliced through the ice wall, but the ash corp had already moved out of the way.
.....
Click! Click!
The wasp clicked its mandibles in anger as it turned to the aquamancer responsible for the ice wall. Just as it was about to dash at him, the ground had softened causing both its legs to sink, and before it could escape the ground had hardened.
Its wings began flapping furiously as it tried to pull itself out, but the ground wasn’t budging. It began attacking the ground with wind spells but it only left dents.
The city wall wasn’t made of ordinary rock, it could take emperor-level attacks, talk less of the attacks of king-rank beasts.
The king rank wasp knew it couldn’t continue taking more hits, so it quickly amputated its legs with a wind blade before resuming its attack on the ash corp.
With the enhanced speed granted by the wind element, the wasp had appeared in front of the geomancer that cost it its leg, before using its large mandibles to bite off his head. At the same time, it threw a wind blade that cut his previous target in two.
‘Holy fuck we need to get out of here!’ Blake was shocked by the helplessness of the ash corp.
Although they had managed to blow apart parts of its exoskeleton, it wasn’t enough. At this rate, they would die before dealing significant damage.
[Unless you jump out of the wall you have nowhere else to go.] The system reminded Blake that even behind him wasn’t safe.
Unknown to the wasp, it had made the biggest mistake of its life. It was already taller than a human, so taking flight gave 2 mini-towers a clear shot at it.
In a matter of seconds, the mini-towers had released 4 shots of energy blasts at the flying wasp. With its great speed, it managed to evade 2 energy blasts but had taken shots to the head and abdomen.
Luckily for the wasp, it had managed to conjure a high-pressure wind barrier that took most of the damage, leaving a deep crack on its exoskeleton.
Seeing that remaining airborne was a death wish. The King rank wasp immediately went low and began using the wind element for movement, but things only got worse.
Ice chains formed from thin air, wrapping around the king rank wasp and its wings. The other end shot into holes made by a geomancer, anchoring themselves before contracting and pulling the wasp closer to the ground.
Just as the king-rank insect was about to rip the ice chains apart, an ash corp was already in the air, and in front of him was a fireball twice his size.
BOOM!
The resulting explosion didn’t deal much damage to the wasp, but it had slammed half of its body into the sticky ground.
On coming out of its crossed-hand position, the king rank wasp saw half of its body in the solidified ground and didn’t waste time cutting it off with a wind blade.
Immediately, its wings began flapping but before it could rise into the air, a water bullet came out of nowhere and shot through the crack in its skull exoskeleton piercing its brain and killing it.
‘I thought we are facing magical beasts, not magical zombies?!’ Blake was shocked and at the same time terrified by the monstrous vitality of the king rank wasp.
The group turned in the direction the water bullet came from. They saw a 5? 5? inches tall man who had a stout physique and a frown as his default expression.
‘Sweet easy points!’ Pascal thought as he concealed his evil grin.
‘This guy is a K.S lord!’ Brian said in the mind link.
(AN: K.S is a gamer term for kill steal.)
The ash corps didn’t think the same way as Brian. With 3 of their comrades killed, they were more than happy that Pascal had ended the Wasp’s rampage before more of them would die.
“Hope your majesty is okay?” Pascal said to Luciano as he walked up to them ignoring the rest of the team.
‘K.S lord and an ass licker.’ Blake sneered at the bootlicking Pascal, but that was when a golden poison frog’s tongue shot through his chest.
‘What the fuck?!’ Everyone including Pascal was still in shock when meter-long spikes erupted from the tongue, rupturing his lungs and heart.
“Hel...” Pascal stretched his hand as he asked tried asking the teens for help.
[Grab his dimensional ring!] The system’s scream caused Blake to snap out of it and grab him by his hand, but that was when the golden poison frog retracted its tongue dragging at a lightning speed.
‘That was fucking close!’ Blake cursed the system as he was lucky enough to have held only the dimensional ring before Pascal was dragged out.
