Chapter 406: Extreme Inferno Double Slash

Chapter 406: Extreme Inferno Double Slash

Caesar, are you saying that small black thing can help us escape?

No, it cant help us escape, but we can rely on it to survive!

Uh can you be more clear, I dont understand.

What is this black thing? We dont know, but the person behind this knows! Caesar smiled and told them about his conclusions.

These several days, hes been thinking about what this black thing could be a poison, crystalized black magic, or something else but he couldnt think of anything.

But lately, he changed his way of thinking, the question was why were they so concerned with this thing?

Actually, there was one other thing that Caesar didnt understand, if they just wanted to kill them then wouldnt it be faster just to blow the whole mine up? Once the mine collapses, even if they dont die right away, they would be buried alive with nowhere else to go, so why continue this game of cat and mouse?

Then I realized, its because this black thing is our protective talisman!

It was clear that they didnt just want to kill them, it was more important to retrieve this black thing! If they buried them, then the black thing would be lost and then there might be a possibility of a survivor sneaking it away.

They didnt want to take the risk so they had to find a way to surround them and kill them, then take the black object away, that was the safest way.

So as long as they kept the black thing, they could still survive for a couple of days.

So now comes the question as long as they block the main paths and continue this cat and mouse game, well be starved to death in less than a week, but today they changed and suddenly gathered way more living dead than before Im curious as to why are they in a rush?

Hm the reason theyre rushed is probably because theyre afraid well escape?

Thats right! Theyre afraid! But what are they afraid of? Compared to yesterday, were there any changes to our team?

Changes?

If there had to be changes, they lost another person yesterday. A living dead bit off a crucial part while he was taking a piss and he died from blood loss, other than that, they were almost out of food and theyll have to survive by catching the rats and insects in the mines to survive from tomorrow on.

What was there to be afraid of a team on the verge of collapse?

Caesar, I know! We didnt change, someone else did! Rosie was the first to react.

Someone else? Miss, what are you saying, theres no one else here but us hm? Wait, are you saying?

Could it be a rescue team came!?

Definitely!

If he was right, then the reason they were so rushed was because a rescue team arrived at Yellowstone! Once they regroup with the rescue team, then they wouldnt be able to stop them, so this was a final attack!

But how are we going to join up with the rescue team?

I have an idea, since they dont want to blow up the mine, then well do it!

What? Caesar, w-what are you going to do?

This is the only way Jerry, the center of the mine is ahead, right?

Yes, its a spacious area with the square right on top oh! I see, Caesar, you plan on blowing up the ceiling and get out from there?

Thats right!

Caesars plan was simple and crude.

You guys deal with the living dead and Ill open up the ceiling. Archer, since you specialize in earth magic, please support it with stones when the ceiling caves.

Okay, leave it to me!

Okay! As long as we can make it to the surface, then we can survive!

Caesar, no problem, well listen to you!

Aint it just a bunch of living dead, theres no way we cant beat them!

Finally, under Caesars rally, everyone was revitalized as they prepared for the final fight.

Rosie quietly tugged on Caesars arm and whispered to him.

Caesar, your plan isnt bad, but do you believe in the rescue team? Even if they came and we join up with them, we still might not be able to break through the living dead army.

Hm youre right.

T-then, why did you?

I could only say that, if I didnt, then we wouldnt have any hope. I said that to give them some confidence so we at least still have a chance.

But Caesar

Rosie, dont worry. Dont forget, theres still a couple of people missing from our team.

Missing? Are you referring to Lin Xiao and them?

Lin Xiao was like them and came to Gotham Kingdom for the mission, but they were left behind because they were too slow, and because of that, he became their only hope!

If Tom went back for a rescue team, then princess Claire would definitely send people to save us, and Lin Xiao should be about caught up! If theyre part of the rescue team

If theyre there, then well be saved!

When she recalled that black-haired youth, she was both happy and angry.

She was angry because they had to depend on that lazy guy, and was happy because Lin Xiaos team was strong and can help them escape!

But

Rosie, take this. Caesar handed the bag on his waist to Rosie.

W-what is this for?

Ill be responsible for the main attack in a bit, once we break through to the surface, the situation will be unpredictable. Youre a magician and you have a lot of strong magic scrolls hidden in your ring, so youre more likely to survive, if I sigh, anyway, Ill leave this with you.

Caesar? You

Rosie stared at the bag that Caesar handed over. What? Was Caesar already prepared to sacrifice himself!?

No! Caesar, we have to

Caesar, were all ready, lets go!

Okay! Lets go!

The voice from behind them interrupted their secret conversation, so Caesar shoved the bag into her hands and didnt give her a chance to refuse it.

Finally, they advanced along a small path and came to the spacious center. Just as Jerry said, the entire space was crowded with the living dead.

The living dead army noticed the faint light and the closer ones ran over, but were instantly exploded into bits by magic.

Charge! We have to buy time for Caesar!

Ahhhh!!!

The magic signaled the beginning of the fight and everyone rushed out of the small path. The warriors raised their swords and shields while the magicians formed small groups and bombarded the monsters that were a bit further away to attract some more of them over.

Rosie, you have to protect that no matter what, do you understand?

I will! But Caesar, you also

Theres no time Ripple sword, inferno double slash!

Ignoring Rosie, Caesar drew his dark red dragon slayer sword and injected aura and magic power into the sword.

Rejection, resistance, impact, the two pure energies wreaked havoc within Caesar and it was like they could burst his vessels, break his bones and squirm out of his body at any time!

Even as he endured the tremendous pressure, Caesar clenched his jaws and held on. How could he lose to pain like this? Even as his arms trembled from the intense impact, his legs were firmly planted on the ground.

Soon, an energy that was hot and viscous like magma formed. Rosie couldnt even get close because of the rampaging energy and the intense destructive power of the inferno, and could only silently watch him from behind.

Hah!

Caesar shouted and the inferno was freed from the sword and rushed towards the ceiling along with the swing of his sword.
